Yun Tian opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the paper in Yun Yan's hands. Without saying anything, he took it and unfolded it.

Yun Yan kept staring at his face, wanting to see if there were any changes, but the other party was still as indifferent as before, as if nothing could enter his heart.

Yun Yan realized this and let out a light breath.

Yun Tian quickly skimmed through the contents of the paper as if he did not care. After burning the paper to ashes, he stood up, "I'll go check if there are any Demonic Beast nearby."

"Senior Brother, I'll go with you." Yun Yan wanted to follow along, but was stopped by Yun Tian, "No need, I'll go quickly and return. I've already been out for close to a month, if there's nothing else happening here, we'll return to Huaqing Palace."

With that, Yun Tian quickly disappeared in front of Yun Yan. Yun Yan stared at the direction where Yun Tian's figure disappeared into, and the glimmer in her eyes gradually dimmed. "Senior Brother, could it be that in your heart, that girl is really special?"

After Yun Tian brought the new disciples out to gain experience and return, everyone became aware of the fact that both Yun Tian and Gu Qing had fallen into the Sky Cavern at the same time. At that time, she had a faint feeling that something was amiss, which was why she hid the news from the Senior Brother Wang Chong.

Why? Gu Qing had only been in the sect for one or two years, and she had not really interacted with Yun Tian before. The only contact she had was in the Sky Cavern on the Infinite Abyss.

Thinking about it, Yun Yan's beautiful face turned gloomy.

Yun Tian had left for a very long time, almost a whole day. Yun Yan was waiting somewhat anxiously, even wondering if his only son had returned to the Huaqing Palace by himself. Just when she couldn't stay any longer and wanted to return to the Huaqing Palace to take a look, Yun Tian finally appeared.

Yun Yan was slightly stunned. Yun Tian's incomparably handsome face had a tinge of weariness, as if she had not rested for a long time.

"Senior apprentice-brother!" Yun Yan shouted angrily.

However, Yun Tian seemed to not have noticed Yun Yan's feelings, and said lightly: "Let's go, there are no Demonic Beast around, let's return to the palace."

With that, Yun Tian turned and left while Yun Yan followed behind her. She swallowed all of the words that came out of her mouth several times, she really wanted to ask Senior Brother what kind of technique that Gu Qing had given her that caused her heart to become as cold as iron.

While Yun Yan was indulging in her thoughts, Yun Tian actually did not think too much into it. Wang Chong explained the situation to him in the message, and also explained that when Gu Qing begged him for help, he was the only one who could save her.

If Gu Qing did not find him when this happened, he might not help either. He thought that he had drank a lot of her spiritual wine before, so she decided to help her this time.

Yun Yan wasn't in high spirits on the way, so the two of them quickly returned to the Huaqing Palace. Yun Yan immediately sensed that someone was inside the Heaven and Earth Palace, and said to Yun Tian: "Senior Brother, there seems to be a guest."

Yun Tian's divine sense swept over Shen Chang's body, and he gently furrowed his brows, "I'll return to my Qingjian Peak first." With that said, his figure disappeared from Yun Yan's sight.

Yun Yan then released her divine sense, and realized that Gu Qing was not even present from the bottom of the Divine Profound Sect.

Almost at the same time Yun Tian appeared in the Qingjian Peak, Wang Chong's figure appeared right after.

"Daoist Changhua, you've finally returned." Wang Chong sighed lightly, his voice had a tinge of helplessness.

"She's gone?" Yun Tian's expression did not change much, as if he already knew that Gu Qing was no longer in the Huaqing Palace.

Wang Chong nodded, "Today is the lucky day for her and to have a cultivation pair. She will have to wait until yesterday, when you still haven't appeared, before she can only leave the Huaqing Palace."

He did not notice that when he said this, Yun Tian's brows slightly creased.

"How did she leave? Where did you go? " Yun Tian asked.

Wang Chong sighed: "I'm also worried about this problem, but she told me not to worry, she has a way to protect himself. Oh right, why did you only return now? " One had to know that he had sent the message a few days ago.

"Because of some matters, I only saw the message you sent me today." Yun Tian emotionlessly said.

Wang Chong's eyes were filled with hope, "Dao Master Changhua, Gu Qing is indeed a good girl, with such high talent, if Shen Zhong and the others were to catch her, I'm afraid they would destroy a good seedling." He was trying to ask Yun Tian to save Gu Qing, if he himself had that kind of power, he would do it without hesitation. But right now, the only person who could save Gu Qing was only Yun Tian.

At this time, Gu Qing did not know that Wang Chong was still fighting for her sake. After she swallowed the Disguising Pill, not only did his appearance change, even his gender changed.

At this moment, she had changed from a young girl to an unassuming middle-aged man. Luckily she was able to escape with Wang Chong's help yesterday, if not she would not be able to escape from Shen Zhong and Shen Chang today.

She quickly made her way into the crowd, silently advancing like an ordinary cultivator. Suddenly, she felt some cultivators approaching her, constantly releasing their spiritual sense, as if they were looking for someone.

Gu Qing pursed her lips, she did not lower her head, she was afraid that if she was too careful, she would reveal herself instead, she gently turned around and entered into a shop selling Spirit Grass.

"Fellow Taoist, our shop is a Hundred Years Shop. The quality of the medicine in our shop is the best. If there is anything you want, I will bring it out for you to take a look." The shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted her spirit herbs. Gu Qing smiled, extended a finger, pointed at a light purple flower, and said to the shopkeeper: "Let me see the quality of this spirit grass."

As she spoke, she looked out of the corner of her eyes at the cultivators walking past. She couldn't blame her for being suspicious. Those people not only used their spiritual sense to search, but also paid special attention to the female cultivators as if they were looking for someone.

If Shen Chang and the others were already at Huaqing Palace, then it would be normal for them to find her so quickly. Although she felt that there was nothing that was worth Shen Chang trying to find her in such a flamboyant manner, she knew that if he was found, it would definitely not end well, and at that time, not to mention Cheng Ding's cultivation, even the pendant that made spiritual liquid would be exposed.

When she saw a cultivator turn towards her, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze as if she was focusing on the spiritual herb that the shopkeeper handed to her.

"This is called Violet Underworld Ascension, the most important spiritual herb to concoct the Spirit Replenishing Pill." The shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended it, and said: "Looking at Fellow Taoist's appearance, she should be an alchemist. My store has a lot of spiritual herbs, so I don't mind coming in to take a look."

Gu Qing was feeling guilty, even though she had swallowed the Disguising Pill, she was afraid that others would see through it, hence she nodded and followed the shopkeeper's instructions and entered the shop.

In fact, Gu Qing was completely overthinking things. The highest cultivation level Shen Zhong had sent to find her was only Initial Period of Foundation Stage, and right now, Gu Qing was already at the tenth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. With the help of Disguising Pill, she wouldn't be able to discover her even if she was free.

Gu Qing was busy picking things out from the Spirit Grass Shop, and only recovered her senses after the cultivators who were searching around the area left.

"These herbs are the main ingredient in the Foundation Establishment Pill. Seeing that the Fellow Taoist is about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage, I might as well buy some back and refine them into the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Gu Qing smiled slightly, she had spiritual liquid s so why did she need any Foundation Establishment Pills, but she still obediently bought a few stalks of Spirit Grass. After all, she stayed here for a long time without buying anything that would arouse suspicion.

In any case, the spiritual herbs could be sold exclusively, "Then wrap these stalks up."

The shopkeeper immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Fellow Taoist doesn't want to buy a few? One must know that the success rate of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not high. "

Gu Qing smiled, and a normal looking middle-aged man revealed a simple and honest smile: "I am going to start concocting the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will try it first, if you are confident, I will buy it."

The shopkeeper immediately nodded, "Don't worry, the quality of the spirit herbs in our store is the best within a hundred miles. You will definitely be satisfied."

Gu Qing's thoughts were already far away, she took the Spirit Grass that the shopkeeper had packed, and left the Spirit Grass Shop in a flash. Just now, those cultivators were no longer in the small city. Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

She had to stay as far away from Huaqing Palace as possible. Only then would she have a greater chance of surviving.

The sky had already darkened. Gu Qing, who wasn't a Meditation Stage cultivator, could only rely on her legs to quickly leave.

She quickly left the small city, and headed in the opposite direction from Huaqing Palace.

The sky was getting darker and Gu Qing's footsteps were getting faster and faster, but she did not intend to stop and wait for a place to sleep for the night. Now, the more time she had to escape, the greater her chances of obtaining freedom would be.

Whoosh …

Something flew above her head. Gu Qing raised his head and saw a green figure fly past her quickly.

Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat, although the green shadow just now flashed by, she could clearly see that it was Shen Chang.

She immediately lowered her head, afraid that her gaze would be noticed by her opponent. However, her footsteps became faster and faster …

"Have you seen a seventeen or eighteen year old girl with an extremely beautiful appearance?" The sudden voice made Gu Qing shudder as she immediately raised her head.

The person who was standing in front of her right now was Shen Chang, who had just flown away and had unknowingly appeared in front of her again.

Too sudden, the shock and panic in Gu Qing's eyes flashed, but did not escape her eyes.

He frowned slightly. "You know me?" As he asked the question, he carefully sized up the ordinary looking, middle-aged cultivator in front of him. However, he could not recall the existence of this person.

Gu Qing quickly regained her composure and replied: "I don't know him. It's just that the sudden appearance of the Fellow Taoist gave me a fright."

Shen Chang nodded his head and repeated the question without too much suspicion.

Gu Qing was still calm and shook her head, "Fellow Taoist, I have been on the way, and did not see the woman you were talking about."

Shen Chang glanced at him, not suspecting anything further. He nodded, took out his magic tool, and turned to leave, but his heart was filled with suspicions. Gu Qing was only a Qi Cultivator, according to the Huaqing Palace people, she was still inside her Huaqing Palace yesterday. With the opponent's strength, she could not escape more than fifty kilometers away, but he could not find any traces of Gu Qing even after searching through hundreds of miles.

He didn't know that the person he was looking for was behind him. He was suppressing his nervousness and waiting for him to leave.
