"Let's go!" Zuo Qingyue spoke softly, "The terrain of Mingzhi Mountain is narrow, it's almost impossible for there to be evil demons!"
Yet, Qin Qi stood still and didn't move forward.
"What's wrong, Qin Qi?" Zuo Qingyue asked puzzled.
Qin Qi frowned.
Somehow, he had a feeling that told him it was extremely dangerous inside Mingzhi Mountain.
However, this was the only way through.
After thinking it over, he sighed and said, "It's nothing, let's go. But, let's go a bit slower."
Zuo Qingyue and Wenren Xiaoxian didn't know what Qin Qi meant, but they still followed his words and slowed their pace.
They only slowed down truly when they were near Mingzhi Mountain.
Suddenly, the mysterious woman exclaimed, "Qin Qi, something's not right..."
Qin Qi froze, "What is it?"
The mysterious woman spoke in a heavy tone, "Your instinct was correct, inside Mingzhi Mountain, there's actually a large gathering of evil demons, it's truly strange!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi's expression tightened, "Are you sure?"
"When you approach a bit closer, just sweep through with your Sea of Consciousness and you'll know," the mysterious woman advised.
Qin Qi did as she said and expanded his Sea of Consciousness to its maximum.
Soon, he detected the presence of these evil demons.
Counting the numbers, there must have been dozens at the very least.
This scale made Qin Qi's scalp tingle with fear!
"How could this happen..."
Qin Qi's eyes widened.
The mysterious woman was equally stunned, "It truly is strange, there's no reason for so many evil demons to be in this section of Mingzhi Mountain. Furthermore, judging by the Divine Thought, these evil demons seem like they're pursuing something!"
Qin Qi sensed it too.
These evil demons seemed to be drawn here by something.
However, besides himself and the two with him, Wenren Xiaoxian and Zuo Qingyue, who else would enter such a godforsaken place?
Thinking of this, Qin Qi immediately stopped Wenren Xiaoxian and Zuo Qingyue.
"Qin Qi, what's the matter?"
Zuo Qingyue and Wenren Xiaoxian parted their red lips slightly.
Qin Qi explained the situation to them.
Hearing this, the two women opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
"Qin Qi, are you serious?" Zuo Qingyue shivered, "How could this be possible!"
She too slowly expanded her Sea of Consciousness.
As she focused, she also detected the presence of those evil demons.
Qin Qi shook his head, "I don't know!"
Zuo Qingyue bit her lip, "What should we do then? There are so many evil demons, we can't possibly get through them!"
Qin Qi fell into deep thought as well.
After a moment, he spoke, "At most three hours. If the evil demons haven't left after three hours, we'll have to figure out another way through."
After all, whether that Demon King with his information is still hunting him is still unknown.
If this Demon King is still chasing him, and catches up, he would surely die.
He didn't think that the method he used last time would work a second time.
But soon, the worst-case scenario for Qin Qi appeared.
Three hours passed.
The evil demons showed no sign of leaving.
This made Qin Qi feel a chill down his spine.
He took a deep breath, "We have no choice but to cross Mingzhi Mountain, we're out of time."
Zuo Qingyue worriedly said, "But how can we get past, these evil demons have an extraordinarily keen sense of smell. Even spying on them with Divine Thought carries the risk of being detected."
"Sneaking past them under their noses seems almost impossible!"
Qin Qi took a deep breath, "We have to try. Staying here is even more dangerous!"
"Later, you both must fully withdraw your True Qi inward, I will use my True Qi to cover you, thereby achieving a certain level of invisibility!"
"Now, we can only try this method and see if we can make it through."
Zuo Qingyue and Wenren Xiaoxian remembered the first time Qin Qi used the Invisibility Technique on them and nodded gently.
Qin Qi didn't waste any more time and fully covered the two with his True Qi.
Soon, to the naked eye, the True Qi of the three could no longer be detected.
Qin Qi took the lead, moving forward cautiously.
Though moving carefully, he dared not go too slowly.
After all, the duration for which he could control the Invisibility Technique was limited.
Even when it was just him, he could only maintain it for a few minutes. Let alone now, with two others.
The best scenario he hoped for was to reach the end of Mingzhi Mountain so that even if they were discovered by the evil demons, they still had an escape route.
With this thought, Qin Qi's heart was in his throat!
With every step closer to the evil demons.
The three held their breath.
One step.
Two steps.
Getting closer and closer!
Until they were right in front of the evil demons.
Qin Qi finally exhaled in relief!
These evil demons indeed couldn't see through the ability of the Invisibility Technique.
As a result, he, Wenren Xiaoxian, and Zuo Qingyue smoothly reached halfway through Mingzhi Mountain, and were gradually moving past all the evil demons.
But what Qin Qi didn't know was.
There were two people at the summit of Mingzhi Mountain, also hidden in the void, without their shadows being perceived.
These two were Zhang Sihai and Zhang Jinkui.
Zhang Sihai chuckled, "Ancestor, this talisman of yours is indeed effective, these evil demons cannot detect our presence at all!"
Zhang Jinkui sneered, "This is indeed the Invisibility Talisman passed down by the ancestors, once used, the True Qi completely dissipates, and the form is fully concealed. Not to mention these evil demons, even the Demon King wouldn't detect us unless they intentionally searched for us!"
Zhang Sihai clicked his tongue, "In this way, once Qin Qi arrives, we can use the Boundary Stone to leave again easily."
"Without anyone knowing, haha, it's simply perfect."
"But it's been two days, why hasn't Qin Qi arrived yet?"
Zhang Jinkui calculated the time, also feeling perplexed.
Logically, Qin Qi should have already arrived at Mingzhi Mountain by now.
"Could it be, that brat really died on the way?"
Zhang Jinkui squinted his eyes.
Not seeing Qin Qi die before his own eyes made him uneasy no matter what.
Just because of this, he glanced around.
It was this very glance.
Zhang Jinkui suddenly paused, "Hmm?"
Zhang Sihai was puzzled, "Ancestor, what's wrong?"
Zhang Jinkui grinned hideously, "Who would've thought, after searching so long, he was right under our noses. Qin Qi, oh Qin Qi, you really have many tricks up your sleeve!"
"If I hadn't looked carefully, I might have really been outsmarted by you."
Zhang Sihai was completely confused, "Ancestor, what do you mean? What's beneath our eyes?"
Zhang Jinkui snorted coldly, "Look carefully at your feet. With your cultivation, if you observe closely, it's not difficult to discern!"
