Chapter 938: Pursuit and Kill
Xian Yin quickly said: "Mr. Qin, wait a moment."
Qin Hao turned his head to look at her: "Miss Xian Yin, is there something else?"
"Mr. Qin, may I know your honorable surname?" Xian Yin's beautiful eyes were looking at him.
"Qin Hao."
Upon hearing the name, Xian Yin felt it was somewhat familiar. Then she quickly recalled: "Are you the Qin Hao wanted by the Red Cloud Sect?"
Qin Hao said nothing, looking at her with indifferent eyes.
Seeing his calm and clear gaze, Xian Yin felt a bit frustrated. She was, after all, a stunning beauty; how could he not be moved by her?
She spoke up: "Mr. Qin, I was once the daughter of the Jiang Family. Later, my family was destroyed by the Li Family, and I have been secretly planning revenge.
If it weren't for Mr. Qin's help today, I wouldn't be able to avenge myself and might even be tortured to death. I once vowed that if anyone helped me seek vengeance, I would serve as their slave for life."
Qin Hao: "I don't need a slave, Miss Xian Yin. You don't have to make yourself uncomfortable. If there's nothing else, we'll be going. Please take care of yourself."
Having said this, he took Ling'er and walked into the deep mountains.
Xian Yin was momentarily stunned but quickly got up and followed them.
After walking a distance, Qin Hao looked at her helplessly: "Miss Xian Yin, I've already said you don't need to repay me."
Xian Yin spoke: "Mr. Qin, you might not know the influence of the Family Head's residence; they're very powerful. It's very likely I will be captured by them."
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment: "Alright then, stay until your injuries are healed."
Xian Yin was delighted to hear Qin Hao agree, and the three of them headed deeper into the mountains.
Jiangping City, Family Head's residence.
The news of Li Yifan's death had thrown the entire residence into chaos, and Jiangping City had been locked down. Many experts had been sent out, but there had been no news.
Li Changdong, the Li Family Head, stood in the living room, his expression extremely grim. He was fully aware of what had happened at the Immortal Miao Building.
Who was that person? How did he know Yifan was practicing Evil Skill?
If he could kill an Innate Realm expert instantly, he must be a Grandmaster Realm expert. But apart from the four major sects in Jiangping State, he hadn't heard of any other Grandmaster Realm experts.
Protector? What mysterious organization was this? He hadn't heard of it.
As he was pondering, a servant came in quietly: "Family Head, Mr. Song from the Red Cloud Sect and others have arrived."
Li Changdong's expression flickered: "Invite them in."
Song Liang and others soon walked in from outside. Li Changdong spoke: "Mr. Song, why are you here so late?"
"Family Head, I've heard about today's events. It's outrageous! Someone dares to assassinate within the state city; this challenges the authority of the Tianxiang Dynasty." Song Liang didn't mention anything about Li Yifan practicing Evil Skill.
Such things often happen in these large sects; for breakthroughs and power, many choose the side paths.
It's almost an unwritten rule that as long as it goes unnoticed, generally no one intervenes.
Li Changdong nodded slightly: "I have distributed the person's portrait to each town in Jiangping State, with a reward of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. I have also applied for a dynasty-wide warrant, and by tomorrow their wanted portraits will appear in towns across the dynasty."
Song Liang spoke: "Family Head, there's something I wish to tell you."
"Mr. Song, feel free to speak."
Song Liang: "On Xian Yin, there is a Divine Sense mark left by our disciple. We can roughly sense her location. Since that person rescued the severely injured Xian Yin, they probably won't separate temporarily. We can follow the clues to find him."
Li Changdong's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Song Liang nodded and said to Nie Feng behind him: "Nie Feng, step up and explain to the Family Head."
Nie Feng felt a bit awkward; he initially left the Divine Sense mark on Xian Yin because he wanted to find an opportunity to capture and have fun with her. Unexpectedly, it became an important clue.
He had deliberated over this matter for a long time before speaking up because Xian Yin and Li Yifan were flirting initially, which wouldn't be seen well.
Nie Feng briefly explained but modified it, claiming he left the mark during a battle with Xian Yin.
He had practiced a Divine Sense tracking spell; otherwise, he couldn't leave a mark on Xian Yin.
"Can you sense where they are now?" Li Changdong asked urgently.
Nie Feng: "Due to the distance, I can only sense a general direction; they should be northwest of Jiangping City."
"Alright, let's go!" An excited gleam flashed in Li Changdong's eyes.
...
Meanwhile, Qin Hao and the two others moved swiftly about six or seven hundred miles away from Jiangping City when Qin Hao stopped, saying it was time to rest.
He flew onto an ancient tree and had time to check the system, seeing two thousand merit points had been credited. He hadn't yet drawn the random treasure reward.
"Would you like to draw random treasure rewards?"
"Draw."
"Congratulations to the Host for receiving the low-level treasure Xuanling Bow."
"Main quest activated: Punish the wicked and eradicate evil, earning infinite merit. Kill all outer and inner elders and the Sect Leader of the Red Cloud Sect, with random rewards of merit points, Spirit Stones, treasures, pills, and other items."
Upon hearing this quest, Qin Hao's face stiffened. Kill all outer and inner elders and the Sect Leader of the Red Cloud Sect? It's asking me to wipe out the entire Red Cloud Sect?
Where do I have the strength for that?
Although the Mecha's speed is fast, it can't break the defense of true experts; quick speed is useless.
Despite the complaint, the quest had been issued, and he had to complete it, for he needed the system to rapidly enhance his power.
This time, the rewards include Spirit Stones, treasures, and pills, all of which are critically important to him.
Half an hour later, Qin Hao suddenly opened his eyes, speaking to Xian Yin and Xue Lingling: "Let's go, someone's coming."
Xian Yin's face changed, grabbing Xue Lingling's hand as they flew into the distance.
Through the Mecha, Qin Hao could sense the approaching group's fast speed, rapidly nearing. At this rate, they'd catch up in about two minutes.
He grabbed both women, fully activating the Mecha's speed: "They're fast. I'll carry you in our escape."
In terms of power, Qin Hao was indeed inferior to those ancient cultivators, but when it came to speed, he feared no one.
Xian Yin's cheeks reddened, her slim waist held tightly by Qin Hao, face feeling hot. Still, knowing this was for escape, she understood Qin Hao's actions were unintentional.
"They accelerated," Nie Feng quickly noted as the Divine Sense signal weakened.
Li Changdong, Song Liang, and others exerted all their strength to chase fiercely, yet the distance only grew rapidly instead of closing.
