Bang!
The sudden explosion alarmed the entire periphery. Between the mountain ranges, layers upon layers of smoke rose, covering more than half of the sky.
Waves of raging power burst out from a hidden stalactite cave like wild beasts. The slaves who were cultivating in the mountain range were greatly shocked. They all rushed out of the cave in panic and ran towards the outside of the mountain range.
The movement here was so exaggerated that even Dong Qing and Kong Hyun-hui were attracted.
"What happened here?" Dong Qing asked.
The slaves looked at each other and shook their heads.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Dong Qing's face turned blue. This was the most serious and horrible shock since he came to the periphery. It must have alerted the Outer Area.
If the Outer Area blamed him, he would also be in trouble.
"Let's see if anyone got hurt first. That's the most important thing." Kong Hyun-hui said from the side.
To Kong Hyun-hui, Dong Qing restrained some of his cruelty and sighed deeply. "Okay."
Then he waved to several slaves and said, "You guys, bring me the list of slaves who have been practicing in the mountains recently."
Several slaves returned quickly and handed a list to Dong Qing.
Dong Qing counted the names on the list, but he frowned when he reached the end. All the slaves who had entered the mountain recently were present, and no one was left out.
"That's strange. Since everyone is here, how can you not know what happened?" Dong Qing stared at the slaves with a murderous look.
The slaves felt wronged in their hearts. They really didn't know and didn't have the ability to do so.
But at this moment, Kong Hyun-hui's beautiful eyes flashed. She suddenly thought of something and shouted anxiously, "Qin Shi, Qin Shi is inside!"
Kong Hyun-hui's shout woke Dong Qing up.
He remembered that Qin Shi came to him a month ago, but Qin Shi had already exchanged for the assessment of the Outer Area and was not on the list of slaves in the periphery.
"Damn it! I forgot this brat!" Dong Qing panicked, but he didn't have time to think about it. Kong Hyun-hui was about to rush to the mountains.
Dong Qing was shocked and stopped her. "What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?
My fiancé is inside, of course I have to save him! "Kong Hyun-hui struggled and shouted.
"You can't go. You can't see what's going on inside. What if you run into danger?" Dong Qing said harshly.
"If it's dangerous, I want to go too!"
Kong Xianhui's beautiful face turned pale. She looked at Dong Qing anxiously and said, "You don't know. He gave me everything I have now. He gave me a second life. I can't let anything happen to him. Let go of me!"
Dong Qing was shocked, but he still clenched his teeth and shouted, "No!"
"Don't force me!"
Kong Hyun-hui's eyebrows were deep, and her aura suddenly flew wildly. A power that even Dong Qing, who was in the Seven Heavens Realm, could not help but feel shocked was surging up.
Dong Qing's heart was gloomy. But when Kong Hyun-hui was about to unseal the Mysterious Left Tilt, Dong Qing's eyebrows and eyes flashed with flowing light. He grabbed Kong Hyun-hui's arm with a little force, and a power far beyond Kong Hyun-hui suppressed her.
Kong Hyun-hui was shocked and looked at Dong Qing absent-mindedly. "You, you also hid …!"
Before her voice died away.
Puff!
A magnificent muffled sound rang out in the mountain. An embarrassed figure flew backward from the smoke and shot toward the crowd like a cannonball.
Bang!
The figure fiercely smashed into the middle of the mountain. The mountain that was previously towering into the clouds shook violently a few times and was actually smashed into pieces by this figure. Countless towering ancient pine trees collapsed with a loud rumble. From this, it could be seen how terrifying this penetrative force was.
"It's Qin Shi?" It was unknown who was the first to shout.
Kong Hyun-hui's beautiful eyes narrowed and focused on the cave that was penetrated by the figure. She gently bit her teeth, broke free from Dong Qing's hand and rushed forward.
"Qin Shi!"
She held Qin Shi tightly. At this time, Qin Shi was covered with blood. His black eyes were extremely empty, and blood spurted from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Qin Shi's appearance, she was scared.
"Don't scare me!
Don't scare me! "
Kong Hyun-hui cried out involuntarily. "Please, don't abandon me. You said you would never betray me in this life!
You can't die! "
She stuck to Qin Shi's chest, and tears slowly ran down her cheeks.
At this time, Qin Shi gently moved his fingers and raised them to comfort Kong Hyun-hui's jade-like face. "Ahem, I'm fine. I won't die."
"Qin Shi!" Kong Hyun-hui hurriedly straightened her body and helped Qin Shi up with concern. "How are you?
How did you get yourself into such a mess? "
Half sitting, Qin Shi felt that he was about to fall apart. His body had never been so tired and embarrassed. Thinking of the scene a few seconds ago, his heart sank.
He still remembered that in the hidden stalactite cave, the terrible blue barrier, and the power on the barrier that almost shattered his soul.
If not for the Evil Demon's timely intervention, he would have already lost his life. In that instant, it was the first time in all these years that he felt so close to death, and he felt so weak and frail.
"Oh, the evil spirit!"
Qin Shi suddenly frowned and suddenly rolled up his sleeves.
"Little guy, you still remember me." The evil spirit's weak voice sounded, and it was panting heavily.
"How are you?" Qin Shi asked worriedly.
"I'm, I'm fine. I won't die. But the power just now hurt my soul. My old injury is acting up again. I might need to rest for a while. I can't help you during this time. Be careful …!" The evil spirit's voice became weaker and weaker. Eventually, Qin Shi couldn't hear it anymore.
Qin Shi clenched his fists in self-reproach, his heart heavy.
Jade In The Book was asleep, and so was the evil spirit. Now, he was alone again.
"Evil spirit, thank you …!"
Humming in his heart, Qin Shi took a deep breath. "Sleep in peace. When you wake up, I won't be like this. Let me help you then!"
Thinking in his heart, he gazed at the mountains in the distance.
His eyes were on the stalactite cave. Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel scared.
"I didn't expect there to be such a strange place in the Chaotic Lands."
This time, he surprisingly didn't think of going back to investigate, because he knew that the power just now was an existence that he couldn't touch at the moment. Even the Nefarious Demons were heavily injured by it, so if he went back now, it would be unwise.
The feeling this power gave him was the same as the inside of the Heaven Lake in the Misty Shadow Mountain in the Barren Forest two years ago. The power in the Heaven Lake was the same. Thinking about it made his hair stand on end.
That time, the evil spirit changed his Demon Blood for him. That was why he was lucky enough to survive.
All this was thanks to the evil spirit.
Thinking about it, the several major changes in his life were all related to the evil spirit. He couldn't help but smile. "Maybe, this is fate. We are destined to be bound together."
While he was lost in thought, a group of people flew over. Dong Qing was in front of them. Seeing Qin Shi safe and sound, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He wanted to scold him, but he swallowed it back. Now, he didn't feel angry at all. He just felt lucky.
"Luckily, this brat is fine. Otherwise, with sister-in-law's character, even if I tried my best, I wouldn't have been able to stop her. Something big would have happened."
Thinking of this, he laughed and scolded, "Brat, what did you do this time?"
Seeing Dong Qing, Qin Shi was inexplicably angry. He curled his lips and said, "Nothing. I was tricked. I was in a bad mood, so I went crazy. I didn't expect to make such a big scene."
"You …!"
Dong Qing's eyelids twitched. He shook his head and said, "I tricked you of five thousand contribution points, but do you think I earned it?"
Then, he pointed at the mountains and said, "You made such a big scene. People in the Outer Domain must have noticed it. I don't know how many contribution points I will have to use to build a relationship. You should just laugh."
Hearing this, Qin Shi felt much better. "You deserved to be tricked. You tricked me!"
But he wouldn't say it out loud. He could only think about it.
"Look at you. You won't be able to participate in the assessment in the Outer Domain in three days. Wait until next month." Dong Qing sighed bitterly. He felt lucky. To be honest, he didn't want Qin Shi and Kong Hyun-hui to go to the Outer Domain.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi shook his head and said, "I'm fine. This injury is nothing. Brother Dong Qing, just sign me up."
"Are you sure?" Dong Qing was bewildered.
Qin Shi smiled but didn't say anything. He looked at Kong Hyun-hui and asked, "What do you think?"
"Whatever you say!" Kong Hyun-hui said gently.
Looking at the two, Dong Qing didn't feel comfortable. "Forget it. It's up to you."
Then, he glanced at Kong Hyun-hui and thought, "Sister-In-Law doesn't like this brat, does she?
If so, it will be troublesome. "
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so. If she did, she wouldn't have come back to the Chaotic Lands. Forget it. Let's wait for my brother to come out."
With Kong Hyun-hui's help, Qin Shi stood up. He didn't linger. The two of them walked back to the guest room. Before they left, Kong Hyun-hui's beautiful eyes sparkled. Her eyes lingered on Dong Qing for a while.
She still remembered the scene where she was suppressed by Dong Qing when she was about to use her full strength. Her real cultivation was at the peak of Eight Heavens, and it was impossible for Dong Qing to defeat her with his cultivation of Seven Heavens. Therefore, she was sure that Dong Qing had hidden his true strength, but she couldn't understand why Dong Qing did this.
Dong Qing's heart sank. "Did he find out?"
Fortunately, no one mentioned this matter. It was tacitly buried in the bottom of Kong Xianhui's heart. Only then did Dong Qing let out a sigh of relief.
After returning to the guest room, Qin Shi didn't step out of the room for the next three days. He wholeheartedly focused on healing his injuries. This time, his injuries were very serious. Furthermore, it wasn't as simple as superficial wounds. His soul and Sea of Consciousness were seriously injured.
Because of this, the Sweet Torrential Rain and Dew lost its effect. He could only rely on breathing to heal. Fortunately, he had cultivated the fourth level of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique. His consciousness sea wasn't seriously damaged. After three days, he had recovered more than half of it. His soul had also benefited from cultivating the first two levels of the Xuantian Holy Scripture.
