When Ling Chuxi and the others reached their lodgings, Su Yizhi and the rest of the Su clan had not yet returned. Apparently, they were preparing things for the trip to the former site of the Golden Pill Sect. Ling Chuxi and the others did not wait for them, and returned to their own rooms to cultivate.
Late in the night, the city was silent, and only the sound of a gentle breeze blowing through the trees was heard. The breeze carried the cold of the mountain wilderness, like a clear spring cleansing the air.
No one noticed the two figures hiding nearby the place where Ling Chuxi and the others were staying. They stared at Ling Chuxi’s window for a long time, their expressions malicious and their eyes glittering with murderous intent.
A Blood-eyed Bone Wolf was lying at their feet, making soft growling noises.
The three of them hid in the shadows, full of hatred, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack.
Ling Chuxi, who was cultivating in her room, felt a little uneasy. Naturally, when entering the realm of True Essence, there would be a change in Battle Qi and cultivation. However, there were also changes in her inner realm now, and she should not be feeling this way.
The uneasiness stirring in her heart kept getting stronger, and she didn’t know why.
Ling Chuxi used the Mind Training Chant to investigate, but she could not find any sign of hidden danger.
She looked out of her window and saw a small figure standing below. It was the little boy Duan Qingchen had taken back earlier! He was wearing a clean long robe and his face was no longer dusty. The little boy was staring up at Ling Chuxi’s window but his gaze was empty and lost, as if his mind was in an entirely different place.
Hadn’t they taken him back? How had he appeared here again? Ling Chuxi was a little perplexed as she walked down the stairs.
What surprised her was that the closer she got to the little boy, the more uneasy she felt, and the more chaotic her inner realm became.
Was she just imagining it? Even Ling Chuxi herself could not understand what was going on.
At that moment, in the shadows, two women were quietly watching Ling Chuxi as she walked down the stairs.
The Blood-eyed Bone Wolf laid at their feet, fear in its eyes as its body trembled slightly.
“Why aren’t you attacking? This is your best chance!” Qing Lingyan hissed angrily. Her gaze was manic, and if looks could kill, Ling Chuxi would have probably died a hundred times over.
“Blood Eye senses something. We cannot attack now.” The woman beside her frowned, looking worried. She was the true master of the Blood-eyed Bone Wolf after all, and a Level 9 monster beast’s perception of danger far surpassed a human’s. For the Bone Wolf to be this scared, it must have sensed something extremely terrifying.
“You’re not afraid, are you?” Qing Lingyan sneered provocatively.
“If I don’t even fear death, what else is there to be afraid of? I merely do not wish to create unnecessary trouble. If something were to happen to me, who would take revenge for Fengyun?” The woman said through gritted teeth, her scars looking even creepier in the dark.
When she was not in her crazed state, this woman’s scheming and endurance was quite formidable.
“Hmph.” Qing Lingyan snorted, but did not say anything.
The Cold Moon Palace’s Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique caused too much harm to the mind and ever since the Golden Pill Sect was destroyed, the Cold Moon Palace had not found another way to stop the mind confusion and weakening cultivation of the descendants of the sect. Although Qing Lingyan was the legitimate descendant of the sect, she only had the cultivation of True Essence Primary stage now.
