I tamed beasts and achieved immortality in the world of cultivation.

Chen Qing felt quite helpless at this moment.

He and the female cultivator were chased by the five Blood Spirit Abyss cultivators for nearly three hours, running all the way from the west side of the secret realm to near its heartland.

He tried several times to run towards the platform of the secret realm rift, but the five Blood Spirit Abyss cultivators clearly saw through his intentions and kept driving him in another direction, preventing him from getting close to the rift.

"These bastards are pretty good at teamwork."

Chen Qing cursed inwardly, and even considered using the Soul Splitting Nail and the trump card given to him by Lu Chenxing, but there was only one Soul Splitting Nail and the trump card could only be used once, so it would be too wasteful to use it in this situation.

Chen Qing glanced at the female cultivator sitting cross-legged in front of him, meditating, and felt even more frustrated.

If I had known this vow of faith would be so troublesome, I shouldn't have made it in the first place.

This female cultivator was quite something. After killing the Blood Spirit Abyss cultivator who ran the fastest, she spent the entire time meditating to recover her mana, while he took all the blame when danger struck. Yet, he couldn't abandon her, otherwise his Dao Heart Oath would backfire, causing his cultivation to stagnate at best, and at worst, he would be plagued by inner demons.

"I will never make any more oaths lightly."

Chen Qing silently memorized this bloody lesson.

Fortunately, three points of light suddenly appeared on his Blood Spirit Token, and all of them had the aura of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Qing was first startled, then delighted, and steered the Azure Wind Boat toward the three points of light.

The three of them were all wearing the blue disciple robes of the Lingyun Sect, so they were obviously fellow disciples. As for whether there would be someone like Yang Ming who had his Foundation Establishment spiritual items stolen by these three, Chen Qing was not too worried.

Lu Chenxing was stationed outside the secret realm, and he still had the trump card that Lu Chenxing had given him. No matter how bold these senior brothers were, they wouldn't dare to openly steal his things.

As for the Foundation Establishment spiritual item that the female cultivator might possess...

What does this have to do with Chen?

He was only responsible for protecting her life; he didn't say he would protect her property.

……

now.

On the green wind boat.

Chen Qing looked up and saw three people standing on the edge of the cave entrance at the mountain peak, with a full moon behind them. Their robes fluttered and swords gleamed around them, giving them a resemblance to the "Three Noble Brothers Under the Moon".

Chen Qing shook off the strange thought in his mind, quickly approached, flipped off the flying boat, and bowed respectfully: "I am Chen Qing, a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, and I am the garrison commander of Lin Yuan County. I have entered the secret realm for training by order of Uncle Lu. I greet my three senior brothers."

Chen Qing pointed to the five approaching streaks of blood-red light behind him, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Those five people behind me are cultivators from the Blood Spirit Abyss. They are ruthless and have been chasing me all this way without being able to shake them off. I had no choice but to come and bother you three senior brothers. I hope you three senior brothers will lend a hand. I will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gao Fu, who was in the lead, did not speak, but instead looked Chen Qing up and down.

He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, his aura was steady, he had no injuries, and his magical power was still sufficient. He didn't look like he had been chased for a long time at all.

Looking at the female cultivator again, her breathing was equally steady, and she even had the energy to control the flying boat.

Gao Fu nodded slightly in his heart, acknowledging the strength of the two men to some extent.

However, it was only a partial approval.

The difference between the sixth and tenth levels of Qi Refining is greater than the difference between the first and sixth levels of Qi Refining combined.

Just then, Xie Kun, who was holding the array plate, suddenly whispered, "Senior Brother Gao, the aura of that creature is starting to descend deeper into the cave. We need to hurry."

Gao Fu frowned, glanced at the array plate in Xie Kun's hand, then at the five streaks of blood light approaching in the distance, and said coldly, "Since they are fellow disciples, it's only right to lend a hand when we encounter them. Junior Brother Sun, Junior Brother Xie, you two go down into the cave to chase after that creature. I'll deal with these Blood Spirit Abyss scum."

Sun Wei and Xie Kun exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and with a flick of their flying swords, they leaped into the bottomless cave. Their figures were quickly swallowed by the darkness.

At the same time, a black giant sword appeared beneath Gao Fu's feet, and he swooped down towards the five streaks of blood light like a black meteor.

……

the other side.

Five streaks of blood-red light were rapidly approaching the mountain peak.

The burly cultivator leading the group, Zhao Tu, suddenly felt a pang of unease, a strong sense of unease welling up inside him.

He looked up and saw a figure soaring into the sky atop the high mountain ahead, riding a black giant sword. His blue disciple robe fluttered in the wind, his eyes were as cold as ice, and the aura of a tenth-level Qi Refining expert pressed down on him as if it were a tangible force.

"The Spirit Suppressor of the Lingyun Sect!"

Zhao Tu's pupils suddenly contracted, and without saying a word, he turned and ran!

He didn't even have time to say a word to his companions before his spiritual power surged wildly into the flying artifact beneath his feet. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled madly toward the southern rift.

"Boss?"

The round-faced cultivator was stunned. Before he could react, he saw the extremely sharp sword light ahead, and his face instantly turned pale: "It's the Spirit Suppressor of the Lingyun Sect! Run!"

The remaining four Blood Spirit Abyss cultivators scattered and fled in different directions.

But it was too late!

Gao Fu hovered in mid-air, riding his flying sword, his gaze indifferent as he watched the fleeing bloodstains, as if they were a few dying ants. He raised his hand and waved, and five sword lights appeared behind him, each over ten feet long, pitch black, and exuding an extremely sharp aura.

"go."

Gao Fu uttered a single word.

The five sword lights, like five black dragons, swooped down from the sky at a speed so fast that even spiritual sense could not catch them.

"ah--!"

A scream rang out as a Blood Spirit Abyss cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining was pierced through the chest by a sword light, pinned to the ground, spitting out blood. He twitched twice and then fell still.

The other three sword lights also caught up with the other three cultivators precisely.

A flash of sword light, a burst of blood mist, and three corpses fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Four swords!

Quadra kill!

Clean and efficient!

Only Zhao Tu, the strongest and fastest, remained.

He had already run several hundred feet away, with three first-grade high-level defensive talismans affixed to his body, their spiritual light flowing around him, firmly protecting him.

One of the five sword lights was aimed at him, but it was barely blocked by the defensive talisman on his body and a first-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon. However, two of the talismans were broken, and the magic weapon was also dim and without luster.

Zhao Tu's face turned deathly pale. He didn't dare to look back and fled frantically towards the southern crevice.

Gao Fu frowned slightly and raised his hand to strike again, but saw that the blood-red light had already escaped the attack range. Its speed was so fast that it was clear that it had used some kind of secret technique that burned blood essence.

"never mind."

Gao Fu withdrew his sword, glanced in the direction Zhao Tu had fled, put the four storage bags into his pocket, turned and flew back to the mountain peak. After nodding to Chen Qing, he leaped into the bottomless cave.

He's not worth wasting his time on a mere Blood Spirit Abyss cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

If Chen Qing hadn't been connected to Lu Chenxing, he wouldn't have bothered to take action.

Watching Gao Fu disappear into the cave, Chen Qing's pupils contracted slightly. No wonder Xiao Chunan kept urging him to switch to sword cultivation. This combat strength is indeed well-deserved!
