Ziling and the chubby boy Xiong Bao were stunned when they heard Old Qin say that.
Seeing Zhang Ergou's questioning gaze, before Ziling could say anything,
The chubby boy Xiong Bao nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic.
Clearly, being followed by a Nascent Soul cultivator was a very impressive thing.
After all, in the outer sect of the Misty Sect, the strongest was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
"Since Elder Qin doesn't mind our three person company being troublesome, then we'll trouble you, elder, to endure a bit longer for now."
Zhang Ergou nodded and politely cupped his fists towards Old Qin.
"This is excellent. Little friends, do you know which sect you belong to?"
Old Qin smiled slightly. Zhang Ergou's agreement had put his mind at ease.
"Move, someone's coming!" Just as Zhang Ergou was about to say something, Old Qin's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, he directly took Zhang Ergou and the other two and fled into the distance.
Not long after they left, several figures descended onto the mountaintop.
If Zhang Ergou and the others were still there, they would have recognized some of the people who landed on the mountaintop.
Three of them were from the Poison Sect who had previously hunted down Chi Ling, and their ally was an elder from the Sima family in the north.
Opposite them were Elder Liu Chuan of the Liuhai Sect, Shi Wuhen of the Misty Sect, and two elders from the Murong family in the southern regions.
It was precisely a four-on-four situation.
"Sima Ying, is your Sima family truly going to associate with those poisonous wretches?"
An elder from the Murong family in the southern regions shouted sternly.
"Haha, Murong Yan, don't deceive yourself. You can form an alliance with the Liuhai Sect, so why can't my Sima family rely on the Poison Sect?"
"Where in the world is there such logic? You are allowed to grow stronger by seizing opportunities, but are we, the Sima family, destined to decline?"
Sima Ying was no ordinary elder and could not have his mind confused by a few words.
"Brother Murong, there's no need to speak more with these stubborn, world-harming scoundrels. Today, we will unite and teach these poisonous wretches a lesson."
Liu Chuan spoke, his eyes glaring fiercely in the direction of the three from the Poison Sect.
Among the people present, his hatred for the Poison Sect was the strongest. If his junior sister hadn't been protecting Ling Feng'er and Hua Ying, they would have had an additional helper.
However, with Shi Wuhen's addition, their chances of winning had increased.
"Boasting! Liu Chuan, with your cultivation, if you could defeat our Poison Sect's secret techniques, you wouldn't still be alone, would you? Haha."
Wu Haichun mocked with great sarcasm.
"You!"
Liu Chuan was furious and directly raised his hands, unleashing a palm strike towards the direction of the three from the Poison Sect.
Instantly, a light illuminated the entire mountaintop.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the three from the Poison Sect did not sit idly by and hastily cast their moves to counter.
The palm strikes collided, causing a huge sound, and the aftermath of the battle sent flying stones scattering across the mountaintop.
In an instant, a great battle erupted.
The people on both sides joined the fray, facing each other two by two, each finding their opponent...
Rumble!
Looking from afar, small mountains were blasted away in an instant, as if trimmed by sharp tools...
Figures flickered incessantly in the void, resplendent spells, dazzling and bright, and waves of battle aftermath terrified the nearby demonic beasts into fleeing in all directions.
Leaving the mountaintop, Old Qin led the three towards the direction of the Misty Sect.
In the void, Zhang Ergou had already told him that the three of them were outer disciples of the Misty Sect.
Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Old Qin had brought them to the foot of the Misty Sect's mountain. A Nascent Soul cultivator was truly terrifying; such a long distance covered in only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Although they had returned to the Misty Sect, how to accommodate Old Qin became a difficult problem.
However, Old Qin did not make things difficult for them.
"This old man has his own place to go. Remember, I will come to find you tomorrow."
After speaking, with a flash, Old Qin disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Ergou and the other two stopped at the foot of the Misty Sect mountain and did not immediately return to the sect.
This was because the three saw a graceful figure not far away, leaning on a long sword and struggling to escape. Wasn't this Ling Feng'er of the Liuhai Sect?
Why was she here?
The three rushed forward and reached Ling Feng'er's side. Ling Feng'er was covered in dirt, and her clothes were torn in several places.
"Miss Ling, what happened? Why are you so disheveled?"
Zhang Ergou reached out to support the staggering Ling Feng'er and asked.
"It's all because of that beast Hua Ying!" Saying this, Ling Feng'er's eyes were filled with tears.
"Hua Ying?" Zhang Ergou looked confused.
"After the auction ended, when we left the Black Xuan Pavilion, Master and Uncle-Master felt they were being targeted by people from the Poison Sect."
Ling Feng'er wiped away a tear and said.
"Uncle-Master and Master discussed, and Master decided to take me and Hua Ying to leave first, while he contacted other allies to deal with the Poison Sect." Su Dan Novel Network
"Master agreed, and then used his flying sword to take me and Hua Ying away from the black market."
"As we were getting further and further away from the black market, and this place was not far from the Misty Sect, Master put us down and went to support Uncle-Master and the others."
Listening to Ling Feng'er, Zhang Ergou became more and more confused.
"But what does this have to do with Hua Ying?"
"Hua Ying saw Master leave us behind, and he started saying all sorts of rubbish, and also said many bad things about you."
"Me? What does this have to do with me?" Zhang Ergou was speechless.
"Naturally, it's because yesterday in the black market, I voluntarily shook hands with you. Hua Ying holds a grudge. In fact, I've always known his feelings for me, but I just don't have any feelings for him."
As she said this, two red clouds floated onto Ling Feng'er's cheeks.
"So you did it on purpose yesterday?"
Zhang Ergou's expression turned grim. No one would be comfortable being used as a human shield for no reason and provoking a powerful enemy.
"I... I'm sorry, Zhang Ergou. I didn't expect Hua Ying to be so petty."
Ling Feng'er lowered her head with embarrassment.
"Although I usually feel he's a bit fake, I didn't expect him to be so petty. I just argued with him a couple of times."
"That beast actually... actually wanted to rape me... Wah!"
Ling Feng'er finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Uh!" Zhang Ergou was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, he couldn't bring himself to blame Ling Feng'er.
Clearly, Ling Feng'er had been too well-protected by her master and did not understand the malice of human hearts.
"Good! Ling Feng'er, you bitch, as expected, I wasn't wrong about you. You and this dog, what's his name, have indeed hooked up!"
Just as Zhang Ergou was at a loss, and Ziling and Xiong Bao were watching with their arms crossed.
A discordant voice came from nearby.
Looking up, wasn't this the young man who had walked with Ling Feng'er in the black market yesterday?
At this moment, his hair was disheveled, blood was dripping from his shoulder, and a not-so-shallow wound was exposed.
