C50

After Shen Chang left, Gu Qing's speed became even faster, she wished that she could grow wings and immediately leave this place.

Fortunately, in the road that followed, she did not meet Shen Chang and his men again. In one breath, she had left the three hundred Li of Huaqing Palace, perhaps for high-level cultivators, this distance of three hundred li could be covered in the blink of an eye. However, for Gu Qing, this distance was extremely far.

Step by step, they left the Huaqing Palace and Yun Tian. If it wasn't because she had no other choice, she really didn't want to leave. Now that they had parted ways, when would she be able to return to see him?

At that time, she was still young, and was very likely to be able to form a golden core. Even if Shen Chang had the support of his grandfather Shen Zhong, the Sect Leader in Huaqing Palace would probably not easily give him to them.

Thinking of this, her eyes shone with a resolute light. She was no longer weak. Only by becoming stronger would she have the opportunity to approach Yun Tian and obtain the freedom she wanted.

Gu Qing had travelled for a few days and nights straight. Since she was a Meditation Stage cultivator, she was already exhausted, but when she saw a mortal city appear in front of her, she did not go around it. Instead, she walked straight towards the city gate.

Almost all of the cities here were occupied by mortals. The moment she stepped into this place, Gu Qing immediately felt a sense of relief; at least, these were all ordinary humans, so she did not need to be overly cautious.

She released her spiritual sense and very quickly, she saw an inn a few hundred feet away. She was too lazy to look for more, so she walked towards the inn that was not far from the city gate.

A mortal town was much more lively than a cultivator town. Although Gu Qing had stayed away from the mortal world for nearly two years, she still liked the noise and ruckus in the mortal world. Not only did this liveliness not irritate her, it even made her feel at ease. She slowly walked into the inn and was immediately greeted by a waiter who asked if she wanted to stay in the inn or not.

Gu Qing did not lack any Spiritual Stone nor did she lack many gold and silver items, so she asked for a good room. Just at this moment, Gu Qing heard a familiar voice sound out from behind him.

"Manager, we need two rooms." The woman's cold voice carried a trace of arrogance.

Gu Qing stopped in her tracks and turned around. When she saw the two beautiful girls not far away, she turned her head subconsciously. She had never thought that, after escaping several hundred kilometers away from the Huaqing Palace, she would actually meet Gu Lee and Gu Ya.

Although they were sisters in name, in reality, they were even more hostile than strangers.

Gu Qing would definitely not avoid them even if she had to marry someone far away, so she quickened her pace and followed the waiter upstairs.

Although Gu Lee noticed that there was a cultivator in the shop, she only took a glance at him indifferently and did not take it to heart. She turned and said to Gu Ya who had tears in her eyes, "What's the use of being sad, what we need to do is to find the person who exterminated the Gu Clan, and take revenge for Father!"

Gu Lee's eyes were ice-cold, yet Gu Ya said while twitching: "Elder sister, I heard that Gu Qing had gone back before, do you think it's her?"

Gu Lee coldly snorted, "If it was her, I would definitely skin her alive. But I don't think she has the ability to do so!"

The two of them continued to talk as they walked, and soon enough, they walked past Gu Qing's room.

Gu Qing did not specially observe the two of them. After returning to her room, she started to circulate her spirit energy to eliminate the fatigue from her body.

When the sun rose on the second day, Gu Qing had cultivated for an entire night. When she opened her eyes, she was completely refreshed. She did not plan to stay long. After all, three hundred li was not too far away.

She pushed open the door and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a burst of curses coming from outside, "Who are you? How dare you hit me!"

Gu Qing turned her head to look and saw Gu Ya coldly staring at an elderly mortal man.

"I'm sorry, lady. I was in too much of a hurry. It wasn't intentional."

"I don't care if you did it on purpose or not. You just offended me!" Just as Gu Ya finished speaking, she extended a finger out, causing the mortal elder's body to suddenly fall backwards.

That old man was already at the age of fifty. If he fell down like that, even if he didn't die, he would at least lose half his life.

Gu Qing frowned slightly, and made a gesture with her sleeve without batting an eyelid. The old man in front of her was about to fall down heavily, but he suddenly landed on his feet. With a few steps, he miraculously managed to stand firm.

Gu Ya opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful face revealed a mischievous look, "I think you're tired of living!"

She thought the old man had some skill, so she attacked again. However, the result was the same. No matter how the old man fell, he landed stably on the ground.

It was at this time that Gu Qing spoke out. "Uncle, if there's nothing else, you should hurry up and leave."

When the old man heard this, he surmised that this immortal elder had saved him. He quickly bowed and hobbled out of the corridor.

Gu Qing's gaze had yet to retract from the old man when she heard Gu Ya's charming voice from behind her: "You were the one who did it?"

Originally, Gu Qing didn't want to interfere in Gu Lee's and Gu Ya's matters, after all, she was escaping for her life. However, when she saw Gu Ya bullying an old man because of a small, strange, and trivial matter, she thought of her past self.

She had no one to rely on in the past and was bullied all the way by Gu Ya. If it wasn't for her intelligence, she would have probably died at the unmarked cemetery. She was unable to keep her heart calm when facing them.

She slowly turned her head and met Gu Ya's eyes, "This lady here, you're mistaken."

She also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble, so even though she had saved the old man, she did not admit to it.

"Stop!" Gu Ya bellowed, but Gu Qing ignored him, and continued to walk forward.

"You're courting death!" Gu Ya had never been ignored before, as a fireball flew towards her back.

Gu Qing laughed in disdain. She was not the Gu Qing from before, she had noticed yesterday that Gu Lee's cultivation was only at the ninth stage of Qi Disciple level. On the other hand, Gu Ya was only at the third stage of Qi Cultivating Stage.

He raised his ash-gray, wide sleeves and waved his hand without turning back. The fist-sized ball of flame instantly extinguished.

"Little lady, please let them go and let them go. If you push them too far, the one who will end up at a disadvantage will probably be you!" If the timing was wrong, she would teach Gu Ya a lesson right now.

"Impudent, I'll go call my big sister right now …"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Lee's voice rang out, "Gu Ya!"

Gu Qing did not care about what tricks they were playing, she walked straight ahead, and very quickly walked out of the walkway towards the outside of the tavern.

Gu Lee slowly pushed the door open, and when she saw Gu Ya's face filled with anger, her face darkened, "Gu Ya, I've told you a few times, if you don't have enough strength, don't provoke others. That person's cultivation level is higher than ours, if he wanted to kill us, it would be easy."

"Elder sister!"

"Gu Ya, we don't have a family now, we can only rely on ourselves. Don't mess around, I won't clean up your stalls." Gu Lee closed the door coldly after she finished speaking.

Gu Ya was so angry that she stomped her feet repeatedly, but she could not do anything about it.

Although Gu Qing had swallowed the Disguising Pill, she was afraid that the two sisters would see through it. At that time, she would truly be a wolf in front and a tiger in rear.

She bought a piece of sheepskin from the market place on the eastern continent. The eastern side of the continent was thousands of kilometers wide. Even though this was the world of cultivators, the mortal world still had a few countries, and among them, the Stellar Kingdom was the strongest.

Gu Qing skimmed through the map, and finally chose a direction that she could escape in. It was the direction of Stellar Kingdom, because that place was extremely far away from Huaqing Palace, and she was still at the edge of Star Sea.

Firstly, she used the Flying-artifact too obviously, and secondly, she had used it several times. If there was someone who recognized her, swallowing the Disguising Pill would be useless to her as well.

As a precaution, she bought a gnu. Although it wasn't particularly fast, it was much faster than walking on her legs.

She rushed all the way, and after three days and three nights, she finally escaped a thousand miles away. Shen Chang, the world is vast, as long as I do not recover my original appearance, it will not be that easy for you to find me.

One year, two years … As long as I have time, I will definitely succeed in reaching Foundation Establishment!

Gu Qing quickly retracted her gaze. Even though she was thousands of miles away, she still did not completely relax.

She avoided the places where high level magical beasts roamed and specifically chose places with many mortals. As a result, she didn't run into many dangers along the way.

Gu Qing took out the sheepskin map and looked at it. There was still about five hundred kilometers to go until she reached the Stellar Kingdom, but there would be a large forest in front of her. This forest was extremely dangerous, at least for a Meditation Stage cultivator like her, if she did not go through the forest and circle around, she would need to travel an extra thousand kilometers.

What should he do?

Gu Qing lowered her eyes and thought, but not long after, she made a decision. She would go a bit further, since she was already so far away, Shen Chang would not easily find her way here.

She pulled the reins and began to circle around the edge of the forest.

Occasionally, one or two blind Demonic Beast would rush out to try to eat her, but they were all killed by her, including a third level Demonic Beast.

Back then, she was already at the tenth level of Qi Disciple level if she had relied on her Withered Handprint to deal with the third level Demonic Beast. Although it was still difficult to deal with the third level Demonic Beast, she didn't need the help of the Withered Handprint.

Just as she was about to cut down the demon core, a fishy smell came from behind. At the same time, someone cried out in alarm, "Be careful!"

Just as Gu Qing was about to cut off the demon core's hand, she took the opportunity to roll away. She felt something flying behind her.

Raising his head, he saw a large eyed lion. The large eyed lion was also a level three Demonic Beast, but it was harder to deal with than a Heaven Swallowing Python.

She remembered that someone had said something behind her, so she immediately turned around.
