Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Liu Qing said, "Xuan Yu, think it over carefully. I don't want to have a conflict with you, and I've been avoiding you all along. But don't think I'm without a temper. I'm taking them away now. If you dare to stop me, I will make sure you all stay here!"

With that, she turned around and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Chengyuan picked up Lan Yun, and then he led the others toward the passage.

Liu Qing was fighting alone on that side!

The saints and experts of the Dao Alliance, including Master Xuanyu, looked somewhat surprised and uncertain, but in the end they did not make a move!

Liu Qing turned around and walked towards the passage. Then she slowly stopped and glanced at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned back, saying, "Have you discovered me?"

However, Liu Qing only glanced at it before quickly leaving.

After Liu Qing left, a Saint-level expert in the Dao Alliance cursed loudly, "We finally found them, are we just going to let them escape like this?"

Master Xuanyu said calmly, "There's nothing we can do. Liu Qing is already among the top ten on the Saint Ranking. After all these years in this place, she's only a hair's breadth away from the Emperor Realm. If we really fight, she alone can stop us. As time goes on and the pressure here intensifies, apart from Xuan Luo and Fang Meng, everyone else here might die!"

"But there's no need to rush. Since they're active in this area, finding them is only a matter of time. Our Great Emperor experts will be arriving soon. Liu Qing is unwilling to join the Dao Alliance, so how can we let her enter the Great Emperor realm peacefully? We'll create an uncontrollable force within the Dao Alliance's territory." Xuan Yu Zhenren said calmly, "Remember their cave!"

"Yes!"

The others nodded.

"Alright, disperse for now!" Master Xuanyu said again, "Let's seize the time and continue mining! Let's try to finish mining this mine as soon as possible. This place is desolate, even though it's suitable for cultivation, it's too oppressive!"

Their men also chose to retreat.

Ye Qing didn't rush out. He waited until those people left before letting out a slight sigh of relief, and then he quietly walked out from among them!

As expected, this place is being mined by a large number of people from the Dao Alliance.

Ye Qing had a bit of a headache. Only those at the Great Emperor level could break through the outer array.

He can only leave now by waiting for Liu Qing to break through to the Great Emperor realm and open the formation. Otherwise, he'll be waiting for who knows how long.

Lingtian Pavilion had just been established. Although that battle killed two saints, it brought temporary stability to Lingtian Pavilion.

However, in a place like the Thousand Mountains Domain, Ye Qing knew it was definitely not that simple.

Therefore, Ye Qing still wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't think about it so much. Focus on cultivation first and try to get your physical body into the Saint Realm as soon as possible. Then you can explore ways to break through!" Ye Qing said, then ran to the side of the passage and continued forward.

Soon, he returned to the open space he had been in before, but he did not linger. Instead, he turned around and walked to the place where Qi Feng had mined the day before!

Then he started digging here.

The star-patterned stones here contain combat skills and rare treasures. Even the worst ones can be sold. This is a great opportunity to acquire resources!

If we happen to unearth a divine skill or artifact, we'll make a fortune.

As Ye Qing dug, he also silently sensed the surroundings.

With this breakthrough, Ye Qing's ability to withstand the pressure here was much longer than he had imagined. Almost a day passed before Ye Qing felt that the pressure was becoming unbearable.

Previously, because of his battle with Qi Feng, he was unable to estimate how long he could stay here!

Now that he has a sense of it, he has a general idea.

He put his things away and planned to go to the entrance of the passage first. After his physical body reached its absolute limit, he would climb to the cave entrance. Cultivating after reaching this limit would be very effective for body tempering.

Soon, he arrived at the passage, but the moment he reached the entrance, Ye Qing froze.

He saw Liu Qing sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the passage. She seemed to sense something, then opened her eyes and stared straight at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and he instinctively wanted to back away.

However, the frustrating thing is that he is now close to his limit under pressure. If he retreats any further and cannot find any other way out, he will most likely face death.

"So, you spotted me just now?" Ye Qing asked.

Liu Qing's expression shifted, and she looked Ye Qing up and down, saying, "You're even better than I expected. So, you killed Qi Feng?"

Ye Qing did not deny it, and he came to the front of the cave entrance. At this moment, he had many thoughts in his mind.

Since Liu Qing was waiting here, it meant that she had spotted him when she glanced in his direction earlier!

If she wanted to kill him, she could have done it then!

Even now, if she were to attack herself the moment she discovers this, Ye Qing would be certain to die.

But she didn't.

Ye Qing couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but at this moment he seemed to have no other choice.

“I wasn’t mistaken, you were only at the peak of the Venerable realm!” Liu Qing said, “How exactly did you kill him?”

"Use the rules here!" Ye Qing didn't hide anything!

Liu Qing stared intently at Ye Qing for a long time before saying calmly, "You...are quite good!"

"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Ye Qing asked.

Liu Qing didn't say much, nor did she make a move. Instead, she gave Ye Qing a deep look, then turned around and crawled out along the passage.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Ye Qing was completely baffled. He couldn't understand what Liu Qing meant at all!

Why didn't she kill herself?

Not even to lay a hand on oneself?

He simply confirmed whether he had killed Qi Feng, said "very good," and then left.

Even after Liu Qing's figure disappeared at the end of the passage, Ye Qing still couldn't understand what she wanted to do!

He stood at the entrance of the passage, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with her. Since she didn't make a move, it's always a good thing she survived!"

As he spoke, Ye Qing waited silently.

Knowing that he was in excruciating pain all over his body and that his physical body was on the verge of collapse under the pressure, Ye Qing stopped circulating the Nine Heavens Technique and then climbed into the passage.
