Chapter 456 How can I repay you?
"Haven't you found it yet?"
"No."
"How is it possible that there isn't even a corpse?"
"Could it be eaten by a monster?"
“…”
Because of Ji Qingyue's matter, Qin Shengcheng didn't even follow the ship back to Tianxin Island, but stayed on Chixia Island to keep an eye on it. After all, the secret that Ji Qingyue heard was enough to destroy their entire Qin family.
If it were anyone else, Qin Shengcheng wouldn't be so concerned, because the Black Water River is ferocious, and falling into the Void Realm is almost certain to lead to death, not to mention falling into the water in a seriously injured and dying state.
But she happened to be Ji Qingyue, a descendant of the Qinghe ancestor of the Ji family, and the most dazzling talent among the younger generation. Even because of Ji Qingyue, the Tianqing ancestor who was in charge of the Ji family among the younger generation was suppressed by her and could not raise his head.
Such a gifted girl cannot be treated with common sense. If she survives in such a desperate situation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Keep looking. We must find Ji Qingyue no matter what."
After a moment's silence, Qin Shengcheng gave the death order.
After saying that, he left in a hurry again. His destination was Chixia Sect, a second-rate subordinate force of Tianxin Island. He had to order the blockade of Chixia Island.
Chixia Island is the only piece of land within tens of thousands of miles of this area. If Ji Qingyue wants to get ashore from the Black Water River alive, Chixia Island is the only option. As for passing ships, it is simply impossible.
Because this area of water has been strictly monitored by his Qin family, once anything is discovered, they will definitely launch a thundering attack.
Less than an hour later.
There was a commotion at the docks of Chixia Island.
"Why won't you let us leave the island?"
"That's right, we need to leave the island."
“…”
As soon as the island closure order was issued, the dock was filled with complaints, but when the people from Chixia Island and the Qin family showed their tough measures, most people dared not say a word.
But this meant nothing to Xiao Lingxi.
If you can’t get on a public boat, can you get on a private boat?
Although Chixia Island is large, there are still many things that need to be purchased outside the island. No matter how strict the inspection is, it still cannot stop Xiao Lingxi, who comes and goes without a trace. He easily broke through the blockade and left Chixia Island on a purchasing ship.
.....
in the cave.
Zhao Mu sat lazily on the cold stone, and Ji Qingyue immersed himself in healing again.
He was poking the charcoal fire with a branch, looking very bored. He could only occasionally glance at the beauty opposite him to relieve his fatigue.
However, just in the middle of the night, Zhao Mu, who was bored and drowsy, suddenly perked up. He walked towards Ji Qingyue, who was still asleep, and shouted, "Stop, someone has started searching the mountain."
"Search the mountain?"
Ji Qingyue opened her eyes and said, "What should I do? I can't..."
"You can't travel on your own, you can't even move properly, right?"
Zhao Mu interrupted, turned around without asking, bent down slightly, and patted his back, "Come up, I'll take you away."
In other words, he didn't want to have any entanglement with Ji Qingyue. Otherwise, he would not carry her on his back, but would directly choose to hug her face to face, just like when he hugged Senior Sister Daigua on the road. This ambiguous posture can make emotions grow quickly.
"what!"
"What? Come on up here. If you don't like this position, I can carry you like a sack."
“…”
Ji Qingyue was speechless for a while. She moved her hands and feet with force and climbed onto Zhao Mu's broad back. Carrying a sack was too embarrassing.
"Hold on tight, let's go."
Zhao Mu disliked Ji Qingyue's slow movements, so he immediately grabbed her two tempting legs with both hands and pushed them up with a little force. The latter then fell directly on his back.
"it is good."
Ji Qingyue immediately grabbed Zhao Mu's shoulders, but unfortunately, she was seriously injured and did not have much strength. Zhao Mu jumped up and down silently in the mountains and forests. Although he tried to reduce the bumps as much as possible, he almost threw her off several times.
Fortunately, Zhao Mu was quick to steady her every time.
Taking advantage of the night, the two of them went deeper and deeper until they reached a deserted place, where they finally stopped.
After nearly two hours of traveling, they had already penetrated more than a thousand miles into the central mountain range of Chixia Island. Ordinary Kongming realms no longer dared to enter here because there were seventh-level monsters lurking there.
"Whoo~"
Inside a towering tree, Zhao Mu put Ji Qingyue down and breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems the Qin family is really anxious to confirm your life or death. They've even started searching the mountain. However, this place shouldn't be searched anytime soon. You can rest and heal for a few days."
"That being said, hiding like this isn't a long-term solution. Miss Xiao doesn't know when reinforcements will arrive, and Chixia Island is too small. Once they start searching the mountain, it won't be long before we have nowhere to hide."
Ji Qingyue was not very optimistic.
And what she said was indeed the truth. An island with a radius of ten thousand miles sounds very large. If it were in the previous life, searching for a land of this size might not be possible in a few days, but in several months, years or even hundreds of years.
But this is a world of advanced martial arts, and cultivators have spiritual awareness. Compared to the rest of the world, Chixia Island is indeed just a drop in the ocean. It would probably take at most one or two months to search it completely.
The only option is to continue going deeper into the Central Mountain Range, because there are a large number of seventh- and eighth-level monsters lurking there, and there are even ninth-level monsters. The people from the Chixia Sect and the Qin family of Tianxin Island are likely to not dare to break in.
But at the same time, Zhao Mu and the others didn't dare to go any deeper.
Because...it's too dangerous.
"You heal your wounds first, and we'll deal with the rest later."
Zhao Mu said calmly that there were actually many ways to resolve the current predicament, but the prerequisite was that Ji Qingyue's injuries had to recover to a certain extent first.
"Ah."
Ji Qingyue swallowed some healing pills again and began to heal his wounds.
In fact, Zhao Mu had a way to speed up Ji Qingyue's healing speed. After all, he still had a lot of Ziyun Divine Spring, but he also knew very well what it meant to be guilty of possessing a treasure.
Things like the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring are too complicated to handle.
If it was Senior Sister Dagua, the Little Rich Lady, the Big Rich Lady, the Little Phoenix, or the Big Heroine, he would definitely take it out without hesitation, but not Ji Qingyue. He couldn't completely trust the other party. Even with the Leg Spirit, he might not dare to take it out. After all, the relationship between him and Duanmu Liang was still a little worse.
Ten days later.
Ji Qingyue opened her eyes again. During the past ten days, she had been healing her injuries almost all the time. Her injuries had finally recovered by almost 10%, and she could barely use her cultivation. This made Zhao Mu quite happy.
He stood up and walked in front of Ji Qingyue, then half squatted down and stretched out his hand to the former's eyebrows. Ji Qingyue was startled by this sudden action, but in the end she did not resist and let Zhao Mu's finger point at her eyebrows.
The next moment, a stream of obscure information flooded into his sea of consciousness, which seemed to be some kind of secret technique.
"This is....."
"The secret method of alien face-changing should, under normal circumstances, be able to deceive masters who are at least three realms higher than oneself."
Zhao Mu explained.
"you....."
Ji Qingyue's eyes were filled with shock. She knew the value of this secret technique, which was almost beyond belief, and yet the other party was so generous as to give it to her.
"We have to act swiftly. We can no longer stay here. We must move, and this secret technique is essential."
"Thank you."
Ji Qingyue showed her gratitude. The fact that the other party could do this for her was almost beyond belief. She had to think carefully about how to repay him.
