Zi Linng's heart heavily shook. This kind of feeling was not unfamiliar, she had once cared about others, but she never would have thought that in just twenty odd days, she would actually develop feelings for the people here.

At the same time as her heart was pounding, she didn't reveal the slightest bit of peculiarity on her face, "They are just juniors to me. If I can save them, of course I'll save them. If I can't, then there's nothing I can do." Her tone was very casual, and she didn't even bother to look away. "You should think about whether they're more important or her!"

"Senior Brother, save me!" white-clothed woman finally started to panic. She could feel that the person behind her was cold and detached.

The white clothed man looked at white-clothed woman, but did not reveal too much emotion. Instead, he revealed his signature smile, "I have more hostages than you do, I don't believe there's anything here that you care about?"

With that, he released Huang Ying and Gold, holding Chu Feng and Liu Shuangshuang in his hands, "This man's appearance is not bad, he can be compared with me, don't tell me you don't like him?"

Zi Linng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and revealed a smile: "You want to know? Why don't you give it a try and let's fight together? " Saying that, she used more strength in her hands, causing white-clothed woman to scream out in pain.

The white clothed man finally retracted the smile on his face, "Alright, we won't pursue the harm you guys have done to the Flaming Cloud Beast, you should also immediately release my junior sister and my profound beasts."

After fighting with the Flaming Cloud Beast just now, she had also almost run out of oil. She had been forcing herself to continue fighting after that, so when she heard the elder, she nodded, "Alright, come over here first and let your junior sister wake up my fellow sect members."

The two of them did not play any tricks, and the people with Divine Profound Sect quickly regained their senses. Seeing Zi Linng holding white-clothed woman hostage, the worry in Huang Ying's heart dropped.

"Why aren't you letting my junior sister go?" The white-clothed man asked.

"You think that I will easily trust all of you? When my fellow disciples leave, I will naturally let her go."

After the negotiations between the two sides, Zhao Ting led the disciples of Divine Profound Sect away, while Yao Su stayed behind. This was completely out of Zi Linng's expectations.

"You'd better keep your promise!" Yao Su did not say much, his straight and honest face looked extremely serious.

"Hmph!" The man in white snorted with a fake smile. It was just a Profound Master, if it wasn't for the fact that the girl in front of him had some special methods to suppress his profound beast, let alone a low level Profound Master, he wouldn't even be afraid of a middle level profound beast!

Zi Linng released white-clothed woman as per their agreement, causing him to stagger and stand there, staring at Zi Linng hatefully, "You better not let me meet you again."

Zi Linng caressed the little snake that was coiled around her arm, her watery eyes emitting a clear luster. "Are you reminding me not to let you go?"

The white clothed man stepped forward and blocked white-clothed woman, "This time you have won, I hope that you will keep your promise and return the profound beast to me."

Zi Linng threw the little snake at him as if she didn't care about it at all and then clapped, "Don't let me meet you again, it won't end like this!"

The man in white smiled, his feminine facial features abnormally gentle, and the venomous coldness in his eyes twined like maggots in his bones. "I am Xiao Yaozi from Acacia Sect, I believe … We will meet again! "

After Xiao Yaozi finished speaking, he took the lead to leave with his junior sister.

On the way back, Yao Su was in front while Zi Linng was behind. The two of them maintained an awkward silence.

After a long while, Yao Su's footsteps suddenly stopped. Zi Linng raised her head and looked at him, only to see that he had turned around. Her face was covered with wrinkles and her eyebrows were bent like worms. I will also report this to the Sect Leader! "

With that, the straight figure turned back and continued forward as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the little old man's back, Zi Linng's lips twitched, this Yao Su was indeed as his name suggested, upright and unrighteous. Although they were not pleasing to the eye, their minds were on their faces, and their thoughts were much better than those hidden in the dark.

The rest of the Divine Profound Sect hadn't gone far, but seeing Yao Su and Zi Linng, Zhao Ting, Huang Ying and Gold all stood up. Although they didn't say anything, one could tell from their expressions that they were concerned about him.

"I knew you would be fine!" Gold bounced over and looked at Zi Linng from top to bottom, "How did you manage to injure a fourth stage Devil Beast seriously?"

Huang Ying also smiled and nodded with her arms crossed, "How in the world did you cultivate and time and time again surpass my imagination?"

Zi Linng smiled lightly, and pointed to something: "Therefore, do not offend me in the future, or else the consequences of the Flaming Cloud Beast will be your outcome."

Huang Ying obviously knew that Zi Linng's words had a deeper meaning. She came closer and lowered her voice: "Earlier, when you were fighting with the Flaming Cloud Beast, I observed Liu Shuangshuang, but I didn't see anything wrong with her.

Zi Linng glanced at Liu Shuangshuang, who was surrounding her in the middle, her face weak and powerless. She looked away and shook her head, "I don't think it's her!"

Having seen Liu Shuangshuang's methods, she knew that her was only so-so. If she could control the Flaming Cloud Beast and even make a move at a crucial moment like a showdown between swords, it would not be something that Liu Shuangshuang could do without her knowledge.

"Then who else?" also frowned, only ten over elite disciples were sent out by Divine Profound Sect, other than Liu Shuangshuang, she did not think that there would be anyone else secretly attacking Ye Linn.

"I don't know who it is, but his target is me. If not me, then I will definitely make my move!"

The sound of footsteps slowly drew near. Zi Linng turned her head and saw Chu Feng walking to the front of the nearby Yao Su as she steadied herself, "Martial Uncle, the people from Acacia Sect are wandering around. We've had another fight with them, I'm afraid Qingfeng Town can't be entered so easily."

He was right, but the situation now was obviously not right. A small Qingfeng Town, could actually send out such a huge force like Acacia Sect, and any two disciples were all at Profound Cultivator's Later Rank cultivation level.

"Martial Uncle, I think we should find a place to hide and then disguise ourselves as we enter the town to secretly inquire about the situation." Zhao Ting also walked in front of Yao Su and suggested.

Yao Su thought about it carefully before nodding, "Hmm, looks like something extraordinary has happened to the Qingfeng Town."

In the end, Yao Su decided to lead the disciples to a hidden canyon that was more than five kilometers away from the Qingfeng Town.

The canyon was located at the end of a dense forest. If one didn't search carefully, it would be difficult to find it. Moreover, there was a river behind the canyon. If there was any danger, he could still escape.

When night fell, Chu Feng and Zhao Ting were sent by Yao Su to investigate the situation. Zi Linng found a quiet place to absorb spirit energy to recover.

Regarding the matter of Qingfeng Town, although she was somewhat curious, she was not like Yao Su and the others who were completing their mission.

The sky gradually darkened, and the disciples that were scattered everywhere gathered in one place. Traveling for three days straight was already hard, and adding that they had encountered Flaming Cloud Beast s today, they were both physically and mentally exhausted. Before long, even the sound of breathing could be heard from the lawn.

After Zi Linng meditated for four hours, the spiritual energy in her body surged, and she reached a state where she was full. She slightly closed her eyes, quietly feeling the tranquil night in her surroundings …

Hiss …

Ji...

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the darkness.

It didn't take long for the sound to grow louder, and she could tell it was a swarm of different kinds of insects. It seemed like she had chosen to catch the fish here by herself, but … Who could it be?

Soon, a large swarm of bugs surrounded her.

Puff …

Flames danced on her palms, almost without a pause, as they landed on the back of the bugs one by one, quickly … A pungent smell of burnt flesh wafted through the air.

Zi Linng saw a shadow move in the forest, she gave up on trying to kill all of the disgusting worms, and went after them.

She believed that with her own speed, there was no escape for any Profound Martial Cultivator below Profound Master. However … By the time she had chased him out of the woods, the man was long gone.

She stopped and held her breath, her eyes following her ears …

Nothing could escape her eyes. To her disappointment, that person seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no trace of him to be found.

Things were getting more and more complicated!

She thought to herself that she had given up on searching. After all, he was able to lose track of him within such a short distance. This meant that this person must have had some sort of plan to get rid of him.

She walked back slowly, thinking that it was good that she had kept her trump card, but she just did not know if Huang Ying had gotten anything.

She had experienced a siege of venomous insects, so the disciples of Divine Profound Sect were still snoring soundly. She did not alarm anyone, and with light footsteps, she walked towards Huang Ying's position and lied down next to him.

"You're back so soon? You found someone? " Huang Ying felt the person beside him lying down, and spoke softly without opening his eyes.

"No, that person is elusive, and his speed is extremely fast." Zi Linng looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.

"That's strange. Even though you told me to guard this place, I didn't discover anyone suspicious." Huang Ying continued.

Hearing that, Zi Linng's face changed, the result was out of her control. First, the Flaming Cloud Beast had locked onto her, and then, they had taken advantage of the tension between the two groups to attack white-clothed woman, making the situation chaotic. Then, they had even sent poisonous bugs to attack her. However, the Spiritual Sense that she released did not manage to find anyone other than them.

"No one left?" Zi Linng never believed that as long as she did it, she would definitely leave behind a clue.

Huang Ying turned her body, and went close to Zi Linng's ear, "There were two who did leave, but they quickly returned."

Zi Linng pursed her lips, from the appearance of the poisonous bugs to their elimination, to chasing that person, she had to wait for at least half an hour. "How long is the exact time the two of them left?

"No, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, the two sunk into silence.

"Could it be someone else?" Huang Ying was not Zi Linng. She did not have any Spiritual Sense to be able to sense the situation around her, so she quickly believed that there was someone else.

Zi Linng did not answer as there was something strange about all of this. If it was one of the two who left, then what was the difference in time between them?

She thought about it for a while, and decided that the two who had left were the most suspicious. She asked, "Do you remember who those two were?"

Huang Ying raised her chin, and looked at the person at the bottom left, "She, she is a disciple of the middle stage of Profound Cultivator, Liu Pei."

When Yao Su introduced all the disciples, he had already memorized every single one of them, so when Huang Ying mentioned Liu Pei, she quickly pinpointed her location.
