Gu Qing frowned, her heart racing. She had caught up to him the moment she left the Huaqing Palace mountain gate, and had obviously already known that she was in the Huaqing Palace, so she left her surveillance behind. She never thought that Shen Chang actually dared to kidnap someone in the Huaqing Palace in order to make him her cauldron.

No matter how brave Shen Chang was, she could not let him capture her at that moment, because once he became Shen Chang's furnace, her cultivation path would be over!

The middle-aged man did not say anything. In his opinion, Gu Qing could not escape from her palm.

Just then, Gu Qing who was frowning suddenly revealed a shocked expression, she pointed behind him and shouted: "Wind-chasing Wolf!"

The middle-aged man subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid the Wind-chasing Wolf's attack. But when he came back to his senses, where was the figure of the Wind-chasing Wolf?

He turned his head, only to see that Gu Qing had also disappeared on the spot.

"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and cursed, then immediately chased after Gu Qing.

Gu Qing thought to herself as shshefled. The only thing that would make Shen Chang dispel this thought was to let him know that she was not a Pure Spirit Body. However, even if she told him that she was a Pseudo-spirit Body, he might not believe her. Moreover, she had the necklace in her hands, if it was just a False Spiritual Root, how could it explain why her cultivation level increased so quickly?

She had no way to explain this misunderstanding.

Panicking, she quickly ran into a Wind-chasing Wolf. The middle-aged man behind her also quickly closed in.

When he sensed Gu Qing's situation, he slowed down and revealed a cold smile. "Miss Gu, I think you should obediently come with me.

Gu Qing released a few moves consecutively, forcing the Wind-chasing Wolf to not dare to approach him. Finally, he turned her head towards the middle-aged man and viciously said: "Even if I die, I won't become someone else's furnace!"

The middle-aged man had a cruel smile on his face as he said, "It's your honor that Young Master Shen has taken a liking to you. It's Young Master Shen's decision whether you live or die!"

"Fuck your honor!" Gu Qing cursed, the technique in her hand continued to attack the Wind-chasing Wolf.

Just as the Wind-chasing Wolf was about to be killed, Gu Qing suddenly shot three fireballs straight at the man's face.

The middle-aged man did not expect her to still have energy to attack him after dealing with a Wind-chasing Wolf. He took a few steps back in panic, but his hair was still charred by the fireball.

Originally, he did not plan to make a move on Gu Qing. After all, she was someone that Young Master Shen wanted.

But now, Gu Qing's attack had aroused his anger. It was just a cauldron, so what if it was favored?

Thinking up to this point, he no longer held back. With a wave of his finger, a flame shot out like an arrow.

Gu Qing's eyes flashed. To think that she could actually materialize flames, this was definitely a high level technique. Her opponent's cultivation was higher than hers, and she even had a rank technique in her hands, she did not have the qualifications to fight him head-on, thus she turned, ignoring the unfinished mission, and ran towards the Huaqing Palace to escape for her life.

Whenever the man was about to catch up with her, she would turn around and throw out a few fireballs or wind blades that covered the sky.

This was the first time the man saw someone use a spell like this. He did not get too close, and purposely let Gu Qing waste her Qi.

Without spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to resist, so of course the man would be more than happy to do so. Like a cat catching a mouse, he continued to chase, yet he did not immediately pounce or bite.

But gradually, the man's expression changed. The spiritual energy in his body was like a bottomless pit, more abundant than his own!

Gu Qing clenched her teeth as she stared ahead. She had already fled for close to half the distance, so she must persevere on for the rest of the ten or so kilometers. As long as she returns to her Huaqing Palace, no matter how long her hand is, it won't be able to reach her!

The only thought left in her mind was to support her. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man was already unsettled by her endless stream of spells and had already given up on teasing her. A flame arrow shot through the air, causing Gu Qing's ears to move slightly, he immediately dodged, but the speed was too fast, in the blink of an eye he had already cut through her arm, if she had not landed on the ground in time, her clothes would have already been burnt.

The moment she fell to the ground, Gu Qing flipped over and ignored the burning wound on her arm, as her fingers quickly formed hand seals.

In the next moment, she skillfully controlled the wind blades to surround the man from all directions.

The sharp sound of the wind made the middle-aged man's face twitch. He had never seen anyone who could use so many wind blades in one go and control them to a level comparable to the lowest grade Yellow Rank spell.

This girl was not a simple person. If he could not catch her today, he would have to think of a way to destroy her. Otherwise, it would bring about quite a disaster to his young master.

Thinking about it, his attacks became even more ruthless. The fire arrows blocked Gu Qing's escape route, and left her with no place to retreat to.

At this time, Gu Qing's hair was in disarray, and there were varying degrees of burns on her arms and legs. Her forehead hair had long since fallen to the side in battle, revealing a pair of perfectly shaped, yet ice-cold, sharp eyes.

Seeing those eyes, the middle-aged man's heart subconsciously turned cold. He said: "Miss Gu, I'll give you one last chance. Will you obediently come with me, or wait for me to catch you?"

Gu Qing's hair was as black as ink and it was scattered by her side. A resolute expression appeared on her beautiful face, "I'll also say it one last time.

"Good!" "Very good!" If he couldn't catch her today, he would rather kill Gu Qing.

The spiritual energy in Gu Qing's body was always full, but when she was using her full strength, even if she used endless spells, she could not do anything to her opponent.

As her injuries increased, her complexion turned more and more unsightly. She had originally thought that by escaping the Gu Family and becoming a disciple of the Huaqing Palace, she would have earned the qualifications to fight against fate. She hadn't thought that the heavens would joke with her so much that even if she possessed a heaven-defying treasure, she wouldn't be able to escape her fate.

No!

A cold light shot out from her eyes. She had to change her fate!

Just as her expression changed drastically, she saw a familiar white figure streak through the air.

white jade ship!

Gu Qing suddenly widened her eyes, and waved and shouted towards the white jade ship: "Senior brother, save me!"

The middle-aged man did not expect her to suddenly shout, and immediately looked up, only to see the white jade ship in the air had stopped. A wave of pressure that belonged to the Golden Core Stage suddenly descended. With a pale face, he spat out a mouthful of blood, then immediately turned around and fled into the forest.

The white jade ship stayed in the air for a moment, and only after the middle-aged man escaped did the white jade ship fly across the sky and disappear from Gu Qing's line of sight.

Cough …

Gu Qing held onto her chest and started to cough intensely. The pain that came from every part of her body was clearly telling her that she had just experienced a life and death crisis.

She withdrew her gaze from the white jade ship and clenched her fists by her side. This was the first and last time, she would never let herself be in such danger again!

She wanted to become strong! Become stronger!
