Chapter 89

Qin Feng left Ghost Sword Cliff.

When he left, he carried the entrustment from Zhan Bai and walked down the mountain.

The return journey weighed heavily on Qin Feng's mind.

The only person Zhan Bai was now concerned about was Fang Xinyi. Therefore, the task he entrusted to Qin Feng was to take care of the unconscious Fang Xinyi on his behalf.

The matter of Zhan Bai being possessed by a demon had been clarified; he hadn't changed, but his resolve had.

However, to abandon one resolve for another had pushed Zhan Bai to the brink of extreme danger, making him prone to irrational decisions at any moment. Qin Feng wasn't unwilling to help Zhan Bai, but he hadn't yet found a good solution.

As for Zhan Bai's safety, Qin Feng wasn't worried. The two people at the mountain pass weren't enough for Zhan Bai to deal with. If Zhan Bai wanted to go down the mountain, no one could stop him.

Qin Feng took out a large black cloth and draped it over himself, then walked down the mountain.

Although he wasn't afraid of the two guards, it was best to avoid conflict.

What Qin Feng needed to do now was to find a way to move Fang Xinyi out of Shujian Mountain and then find an opportunity to leave this place he had already grown to hate.

This was the only thing he could do for now.

...

The night was deep, and the mountain pass looked like a huge beast's throat, ready to devour anyone who came near!

Qin Feng slowly approached the mountain pass.

But just as he neared the pass, Qin Feng suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks.

He looked around. The hazy moonlight, under the cover of darkness, emitted a strange and eerie white glow, which, accompanied by the howling wind, made one feel a chill to the bone.

Qin Feng sniffed the air.

His brows immediately furrowed!

Something was wrong; there was a strong smell of blood.

Although the wind was strong, the smell of blood was very heavy. The always cautious Qin Feng immediately focused his gaze on the mountain pass.

The atmosphere was very strange. Qin Feng found a hidden, dark corner and carefully hid himself.

Fortunately, he had the large black cloth to conceal his figure.

Qin Feng held his breath and, under the cover of the black cloth, strained his eyes to look into the darkness of the mountain pass.

There were two standing figures in the darkness, but Qin Feng was sure that these two were not the previously responsible Gu and Sun, but two very strange individuals.

One figure was very tall, estimated to be more than two heads taller than Qin Feng. From the mountain-like build, this person was definitely a very muscular giant. Strangely, this person's body was covered with many long, large bone spines, making him look like a hedgehog monster, which was very intimidating.

The other, a short and thin figure, was hard to see clearly, but his two eyes, which glowed like ghostly green fire, were very conspicuous in the darkness, like two floating lanterns, terrifying to behold. This person held a strangely shaped giant scythe and walked as if floating in the air.

Gu and Sun were now lying on the ground, their deaths gruesome.

At that moment, the figure holding the giant scythe placed a withered, claw-like hand on the head of the cultivator surnamed Gu. A large ghost head emerged from the hand, then split into two, entering through the two ear holes of the cultivator surnamed Gu.

In an instant, the already dead cultivator surnamed Gu shakily stood up, his eyes vacant, standing in place as if waiting for orders.

The body of the cultivator surnamed Sun, however, was sprinkled with some white powder by the other figure and then vanished into nothingness right before Qin Feng's eyes.

"Hisss!"

Qin Feng instantly drew in a sharp breath.

The methods of these two people clearly did not belong to any reputable sect. What were they doing sneaking into Shujian Mountain at night?

Qin Feng couldn't yet determine their true cultivation levels!

Because Qin Feng was very cautious and didn't dare to rashly release his divine sense to probe their cultivation levels without first understanding their background and origins.

That would be too risky!

Therefore, Qin Feng chose to continue hiding.

After disposing of the bodies, the shorter figure let out a deep, hoarse sound: "That little guy found a good place for us and even left two dead bodies to guide us. Tsk tsk, I'll mention this to the Warden when I have the chance."

"Um!" A muffled voice replied.

Then, the shorter figure waved the scythe and pointed at the cultivator surnamed Gu: "Lead the way!"

The cultivator surnamed Gu immediately nodded woodenly and walked ahead, followed closely by the two figures, who disappeared instantly.

This time, it was Qin Feng's turn to be shocked.

"Who are these two? Warden? What's that?"

These two people were not only highly cultivated but also possessed very strange abilities, clearly with ill intentions. Fortunately, their target wasn't Zhan Bai. From their tone, they had chosen a secluded place to use a great power to teleport here.

Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the three left, Qin Feng remained hidden in the dark, not moving.

This was Qin Feng's instinctive habit, a special alertness to danger.

Sure enough, after a while, a very slender figure gradually materialized from the darkness, but after just looking around, it disappeared again.

"This figure... why does it seem familiar?"

Qin Feng frowned but didn't pay much attention to it, as it was just a figure and didn't mean anything.

After the two groups left, Qin Feng stayed hidden in the darkness for a while before slowly coming out.

He looked in the direction the three had gone, which seemed to be the waist of the main peak, where the disciples of Sect Leader Li Xingjian's residence were gathered.

It looked like there was a big move, a big conspiracy!

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then sneered.

"None of my business!"

Since the incident with Zhan Bai, the grand image of Shujian Mountain in his heart had crumbled. He had already decided to find an opportunity to leave Shujian Mountain. Without a sense of belonging to the sect, he wouldn't risk his life for the title of an outer sect disciple.

The most pressing task was to find Fang Xinyi, move her to a safe place, and then find an opportunity to leave Shujian Mountain.

This way, Zhan Bai would have no worries!

After thinking it through, Qin Feng immediately changed direction and headed toward Fang Xinyi's residence...
