The Flying Beast landed on the ground, and Mu Qingge leaped down from its back.
Just as she stored the Flying Beast back into her space, she saw the group of people pursuing her. These people, mounted on Flying Beasts, broke through the dense white fog, cloaked in black robes, wearing masks, concealing their appearances completely.
Those chasing her numbered three to four hundred!
Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and turned to run into the dense fog.
The masked figures who were initially riding the Flying Beasts also jumped down one by one, chasing after her. They all held weapons in their hands, looking fierce and determined, certainly not coming to ask her for directions!
The Nine Springs Cave, a perilous location famous in East Continent.
Here, stretching for hundreds of miles, is filled with various caves. There’s a cave within a cave, a cavern within a cavern, caves interconnected, some above the ground, some beneath it, forming a labyrinthine cave system, hiding unknown secrets.
It’s called Nine Springs because there are nine underground springs here, each one with different properties.
Legend says some spring water can beautify and preserve youth. Some waters are poisonous, causing organs to decay just with a drop. Some can regenerate flesh. Others can cure all diseases.
However, even though the Nine Springs are magical, they are hard to find. Even if found, their uses cannot be determined, as all springs look identical on the surface, making them indistinguishable.
Some say the fog is emitted by the Nine Springs, while others say it’s from the beasts hidden in the caves.
In any case, there are many rumors about the Nine Springs Cave, and no one knows which is true.
The mysterious Nine Springs Cave, shrouded in dense white fog all day, appears even more cryptic.
Mu Qingge’s feet landed on the golden, polished smooth rocks, continuously leaping forward. Behind her, in the dense fog, that group pursued relentlessly.
The ground of Nine Springs Cave is made of pitted golden rocks. These rocks are smooth, resembling stacked plates.
Walking in the Nine Springs Cave requires utmost caution, as one could easily fall into the labyrinthine caves below.
"She actually escaped into the Nine Springs Cave! Follow me—!"
One masked person with a golden mask commanded in a raspy, grating voice, instructing his silver-masked subordinates. As his voice fell, three to four hundred silver masks rushed forward, accelerating their pursuit of the elusive red shadow in the fog ahead.
Mu Qingge did not turn back, only speeding up further. The Star Beginning Step under her feet varied unpredictably, causing her figure to leave multiple phantoms.
She could hide in her space.
But, her space cannot move her. If she hides inside, she can only stay in one spot. These people are so determined, they definitely will not leave easily.
In that case, what’s the point of hiding in her space?
’It’s not come to that yet!’ Mu Qingge muttered to herself, pursing her lips.
Currently, she possesses Golden Realm First Layer cultivation. If she has to hide from every chase, wouldn’t it be a waste of her cultivation?
’At the very least, I need to determine their purpose—is it indeed aligned with my thoughts?’ Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and suddenly stopped, turning around.
Her right hand stretched out, grasping in mid-air; a flash of gold and silver revealed the Linglong Spear in her hand.
As she was about to be ready, the masked pursuers charged right in front.
Bang—!
Flames suddenly erupted around Mu Qingge, enveloping her entire body. This sight stopped the advancing masked figures, shock reflecting in their eyes behind the masks.
The fire receded, revealing an enchanting red battle armor on Mu Qingge’s body.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold gaze emerging through the slits of her eyes. The Linglong Spear slowly lifted, pointing at the masked figures.
Kill—!
The masked figures approached with knives drawn.
Fifty to sixty people instantly surrounded Mu Qingge, engaging in a melee.
As spiritual power light flashed, Mu Qingge realized these figures were Silver Realm experts!
’Silver Realm! Fifty to sixty Silver Realm experts, along with the remaining hundreds, who on earth possesses such grand capacity!’ Mu Qingge swung her Linglong Spear, fighting while contemplating in her mind.
Remaining masked figures arrived one after another, encircling Mu Qingge completely.
Suddenly, the crowd parted, and the leader in the golden mask, wrapped in a black cloak, emerged, standing at the forefront, watching the fierce melee.
"Hand over the Heaven-Burning Furnace, and you will be spared!" The golden-masked figure spoke.
The voice was raspy, sounding like it had been soaked in poison.
Mu Qingge frowned; she could tell instantly, this voice was altered using special medicine.
The ones pursuing her not only wore masks, concealing their entire forms, but even altered their voices with drugs... ’Either this person is someone I know and can recognize by voice! Or this person’s identity and status are not simple, and such covert actions can only be hidden away.’ Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened, a glimpse of cold light flashing across her eyes.
Most crucially, these people indeed came for the Heaven-Burning Furnace!
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a cold smile.
