Chapter 90

Qin Xinyue, the wife of the master of Shujian Mountain, lived on the same mountain as her husband. Therefore, the disciples under Qin Xinyue were fortunate enough to live on Jianyuan Peak as well. However, the two sides' residences were separate. The eastern part was where Li Xingjian's disciples lived, while the western part was where Qin Xinyue's disciples lived.

Under Qin Xinyue, all the disciples were female. Fang Xinyi was the daughter of an ordinary family. During an accidental outing, Qin Xinyue noticed her clever and obedient nature and took her as a disciple, often serving by Qin Xinyue's side.

Though they were master and disciple in name, in reality, Fang Xinyi was more like a servant.

Fang Xinyi's residence was in a good location, possibly because Qin Xinyue wanted her to serve her more conveniently, so she deliberately arranged it near her own residence.

This area was rich in spiritual energy, almost a paradise for cultivation. Just from this point, the benefits of being an inner disciple were fully evident.

With good talent and high treatment, it was no wonder their cultivation levels were leading.

The world of cultivation was like this, a world of the strong preying on the weak. Talent was also part of one's strength, so the resources they possessed were even more abundant.

There was nothing to resent about this.

Zhan Bai had already told Qin Feng the exact location of Fang Xinyi's residence. It wasn't too hard to find, but it was late at night, and it was the residence of inner disciples, so there were naturally many patrolling guards. Qin Feng spent some effort to get there.

Arriving at the entrance of Fang Xinyi's residence, Qin Feng used the method Zhan Bai had taught him to open a small gap in the restrictions, then sneaked in.

Things went much more smoothly than Qin Feng had expected.

However, when he entered the residence, Qin Feng was taken aback. He searched for a long time but couldn't find Fang Xinyi. According to Zhan Bai, Fang Xinyi was clearly lying on the bed inside the residence.

"Strange, where is she?"

Qin Feng sensed that something was wrong, and his face turned cold.

But Qin Feng didn't panic. Instead, he carefully extended his divine sense to feel the situation inside the residence. Indeed, on the right wall of a side room, he found something suspicious.

There was actually a hole!

The hole was not small, about the height of a person. From the broken rock at the entrance, it seemed to be a cave forcibly dug by some kind of beast, and the debris was relatively new, indicating that the hole had been dug not long ago.

"Could it be?"

Thinking of a possibility, Qin Feng was suddenly startled.

Clearly, there were restrictions outside the residence. Although it was easy to break through the restrictions and enter the cave, it would inevitably affect the patrolling disciples of Shujian Mountain. Therefore, they chose this relatively clumsy method, digging a tunnel to enter Fang Xinyi's residence.

"Could it be those two strange people we met at Guijian Cliff?"

But immediately, Qin Feng negated this guess.

Those two people were heading in a different direction. Moreover, Fang Xinyi was just an ordinary inner disciple. Although she was not unattractive, she was not the most outstanding. Most importantly, apart from being important to Zhan Bai, she had no significant value to others.

"Who could it be?"

Without time to think further, Qin Feng immediately put on the black cloth again, leaped into the hole, and quickly moved forward, fearing that Fang Xinyi might be in danger if he was too late.

The tunnel was long and extended deeper underground, clearly to avoid making noise. After going deep underground, the tunnel suddenly changed direction, extending eastward.

"This direction?!"

Qin Feng was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Because the direction of the tunnel was heading towards the residence of Li Xingjian's disciples.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng accelerated, even not caring about making noise, just to get there faster and see if he could save Fang Xinyi in time.

The tunnel was very dark, pitch black, but for Qin Feng, with his powerful divine sense, it was not a problem.

After about half an hour, the darkness ahead gradually began to echo with the sound of something crawling. Qin Feng was startled and quickly stopped, his eyes flashing with purple light as he strained to see ahead.

At the far end, a creature about the height of a person was crawling quickly. It looked like a lizard but had six legs, with a back covered in fierce spines. Its two front claws were long and strong, gleaming in the darkness like iron claws, clearly very destructive. The creature's head was large, resembling a ground dragon, but its body was flat and wide. A long tail was dragging Fang Xinyi, moving quickly along the tunnel it had dug.

A six-legged salamander beast!

This was a beast, and a mutated variety at that!

Its cultivation was... at the Demon Core stage!

Qin Feng's brows furrowed.

He had sensed this beast's aura a few days ago, the mysterious creature that had been protecting Li Hao Ran.

This creature could not only burrow underground but also blend into the surroundings like a chameleon.

Fortunately, the beast was in a hurry to return, and Qin Feng was covered by the black cloth, so it didn't notice his presence.

Qin Feng's face was now very grim, his eyes burning with anger!

Clearly, behind this beast was Li Hao Ran, that troublesome guy, who was up to no good again. But what to do now? Charge directly at this Demon Core stage beast?

Ha, this was a beast whose strength could rival a Earth Gang stage expert!

He was only at the Human Gang stage, second level!

The huge gap in cultivation was not something his strange abilities could make up for.

"What to do?"

As Qin Feng quickly thought of a plan, the six-legged salamander beast suddenly changed direction, diving into another pre-dug tunnel and quickly leaving.

Qin Feng, seeing the danger, quickly followed.

Now was not the best time to act; he had to wait for an opportunity!

Qin Feng, who always planned before acting to ensure a decisive strike, quickly accelerated and followed the beast into another tunnel.

This tunnel was clearly pre-dug and connected to several other branches.

These were clearly older tunnels.

"What is Li Hao Ran up to?"

Qin Feng was truly shocked. Why was Li Hao Ran digging so many tunnels inside Jianyuan Peak?

With doubt and confusion, Qin Feng quickened his pace.

Fortunately, this tunnel was not long. After a short while, he reached the exit.

Outside the exit, the lights were bright!

Qin Feng, covered in the black cloth, stood at the entrance, peeking inside. The scene he saw almost made him fall over in shock!

Truly—

What a Li Hao Ran, what a son of the Shujian Mountain master!
