Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Qian Ruihong thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. Time was running out and the longer he delayed, the more likely problems would arise.

"Master Zhu, take your troops and station there again. Once we've captured that little beast, we'll return to the Chamber of Commerce and deal with him."

"Plum, Orchid, and Chrysanthemum, three of you, follow me to apprehend the wanted criminal."

"Yes!"

Qian Ruihong led the three great priests to continue the pursuit deeper into the enemy territory, while Zhu priest and a large group of people began to set up camp and make a fire.

Zhu Gongfu looked at the white bones around him and the scratches on the trees, feeling something was wrong. He was about to remind them when he found that the president had already flown away with three of his colleagues. He had no choice but to give up.

Hu Qing was still running deeper into the forest. There was no sunlight here as it was blocked by thick shade from the trees. It was so quiet nearby that even the chirping of insects that could be heard everywhere in the forest had disappeared.

Some large black trees began to appear around, with rough bark shaped like "dragon scales" and many bubble-like bumps. Some feces appeared on the ground, mixed with white bones.

Hu Qing felt that the stench of the monster was getting stronger and stronger, so he began to move forward slowly to avoid being discovered first.

"call out!"

There were several sounds of breaking air behind him, and Hu Qing could only run forward.

"boom……"

The big tree in front was suddenly knocked down by a spiritual energy bullet and fell in front of Hu Qing.

"Run, keep running. However, your baby is really powerful and hasn't shown up yet."

Qian Ruihong looked at the ground under the big tree. Although he couldn't see it, he had already locked onto the qi.

The three great priests flew to the side and surrounded Hu Qing tightly. They began to condense spiritual energy bullets in their hands, raised them above their chests, and aimed at Hu Qing.

Lan Gongsheng threw the blood stone in his hand. After spinning in the air for a circle, it landed steadily on Hu Qing's head, making a series of shrill screams.

When Hu Qing saw the blood stone, he knew something was wrong. He didn't expect that the Qingmu Chamber of Commerce was so rich and had treasures that could lock onto Qi one after another.

Now he can only delay time and see if he can attract the monster to come, otherwise he can only wait for death.

"Gu, hand over the fragment of the holy artifact and I will let you go. The Qingmu Chamber of Commerce still abides by the rules."

Qian Ruihong spoke first. When Hu Qing heard about the fragments of the holy weapon, he finally realized the problem. These people were actually after the mysterious petals.

It seems that the mysterious petals should be the holy weapon. I originally thought it was a spiritual weapon, but I didn’t expect it to be of a higher grade. In this case, the emperor also wants this. It seems that they all know that they have the fragments of the holy weapon.

After this key point appeared, Hu Qing connected all the previous events together. No wonder the emperor disguised himself so well. He knew that he had the fragment of the holy weapon as soon as they met.

But where was it exposed? It seemed that I only used it once in front of that assassin, and I probably didn't use it at other times.

While Hu Qing was still trying to figure out where he was exposed, the spiritual energy bombs in the hands of the three priests began to buzz, and it seemed that they could not wait any longer.

"Wait, what are these fragments of the Holy Artifact? President Qian, are you mistaken? I don't have any fragments of the Holy Artifact."

Qian Ruihong scoffed at this answer, obviously not believing it, and said:

"Then you should first remove this form of yours, and then let the four of us examine you thoroughly, and we'll know if you have it or not."

"Okay, then you swear first. As long as you swear, I will check you immediately."

Qian Ruihong was surprised by Hu Qing's questions and answers. He didn't expect that he would agree so easily. Once Hu Qing fell into his hands, he would have to let him taste the power of Qingmu Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, then I swear. Listen carefully, I swear..."

"They all want it too, don't leave you alone."

Qian Ruihong suppressed his inner irritation and said with a smile: "Okay, Plum, Orchid, and Chrysanthemum offer sacrifices, and the four of us will swear an oath!"

"I, Qian Ruihong (Mei, Lan, Ju), swear hereby that as long as Gu Yang removes his disguise, we will not cause him any harm. As long as we check once and find no fragments of the holy artifact, we will let him go. Otherwise, his realm will not stagnate for long."

After the four men finished swearing, there was a loud thunder above their heads. Obviously, the oath had taken effect. The four men began to stare at Hu Qing, asking him to do something.

Hu Qing smiled. He didn't expect these people to actually swear. This was interesting.

He suppressed a smile and said, "Why are you looking at me? Keep chatting! Look at you guys, I was just joking, but you actually swore. President Qian wants to see it, so how can I not let him see it?"

The veins on Qian Ruihong's forehead began to throb, and he was shaking with anger. He hadn't expected that the guy in front of him was still playing tricks on them.

The other three were the same. They had never suffered such injustice before. It was really too much. They wanted to throw their spiritual power in his face right now.

At this time, a little monkey swung over from the tree, holding an uneaten peach in his hand, looking at the four people below, grinning.

Qian Ruihong became even angrier. He didn't expect that a beast would dare to laugh at him. He waved his hand and asked the three priests to throw out the spiritual energy bombs in their hands.

"squeak……"

The little monkey exploded into a bloody mist on the spot, and drifted into the depths of the forest with a gust of wind.

"If you don't speak up now, this beast will be your fate. I'll give you ten seconds."

"ten"

"Nine"

"Eight"

"Seven"

Before Liu finished shouting, the entire ground began to shake violently, and the woods in the distance behind him began to collapse one after another. Bursts of roars were heard, startling the flying birds.

Qian Ruihong was also a little scared. What had he offended? The three great priests were also frightened and began to retreat, letting Qian Ruihong take over.

Seeing this, Hu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the monkey just now should be his offspring. Thinking of this, he looked at the four people with heartache.

But this was a good opportunity. Hu Qing jumped up, picked up the blood stone above his head in his hand, climbed over the big tree, and began to hide deeper.

"Thank you all for your hospitality. I'll accept this stone. Take care!"

Lan Gongsheng's nose was about to smoke with anger. This was the spiritual weapon he had spent a long time refining, and it was taken away just like that.

Qian Ruihong and his four companions were about to continue chasing when a huge black shadow fell behind them.

A white-haired macaque with six big hands was holding a huge pillar in its hands and staring at the four people with its red eyes.

"Six-handed macaque, or a sixth-level monster?"

Qian Ruihong recognized the macaque behind him and felt something was wrong. It turned out that the one he had just killed was his descendant.

"No, President, it seems like it's about to evolve. It already has the aura of a seventh-level monster." Ju Gongsheng said tremblingly.

The sixth-level monster corresponds to the human's Nascent Soul stage, but this macaque is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is holding a weapon, so it seems that it has some intelligence.

"run!"

At Qian Ruihong's command, the four of them began to fly away in different directions. The macaque was not in a hurry. After sniffing the scent, it ran directly towards Lan Gongsheng.
