Chapter 133

Shi Qinghan was overjoyed. He quickly reached out his hands and solemnly accepted the Qiankun Gourd.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he laughed, "Oh my, little sister, you're truly my lucky star! With this treasure you gave me, I'm sure my success rate and the quality of my pill refining will improve even further! Hahaha, this thing is just too good, I love it so much! Seriously, little sister, you're practically my god of wealth!"

Gu Shihan looked at the map, surveyed her surroundings, and her smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.

She scanned her surroundings warily, carefully observing the changes in the environment, and then said in a serious tone, "Alright, brother, don't just get excited. Haven't you noticed? We're getting closer and closer to Black Wind Cliff, and the number of monsters appearing here seems to be gradually increasing. So we have to be careful from now on. Just to be safe, let's activate stealth mode as soon as possible."

"Black Wind Cliff is only a hundred miles away, we really can't be careless!" Shi Qinghan also put away his joking tone and became serious.

Xingbai looked around and said, "Hanhan, there's a sixth-tier lion-tiger beast's lair five miles to the left, and a black eagle's lair ten miles to the right. Shi Qinghan doesn't have his own flying spirit beast yet, right? We can go there and contract one for him."

"Oh? Is that so? But we still need to ask his opinion first. If he's willing, then let's go and help him contract one."

Gu Shihan nodded, then turned to Shi Qinghan and asked, "Big brother, Xingbai just told me that there are black eagles ten miles to the right. These black eagles are excellent flying spirit beasts. Are you interested in contracting one?"

Hearing this, Shi Qinghan's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He nodded without hesitation and replied, "A flying spirit beast? That would be great! I've always wanted one. Speaking of which, I've been eyeing your Little Black for a long time; its flying speed is practically lightning fast! Alright, let's set off right away!"

After saying that, Shi Qinghan couldn't wait to take a step forward.

And so, the group quickly set off, teleporting together towards the Black Hawk's lair.

Under normal circumstances, if one could fly on a sword, a mere ten miles would be covered in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, due to the unusually dense miasma and the extremely lush, towering trees surrounding them, even though they were anxious and wanted to speed up, they were powerless to do so.

It took almost half an hour for the group to finally arrive at the Black Eagle's Nest.

When they arrived at their destination, the sight before them astonished them.

The place that should have been the Black Eagle's nest was now filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood.

Scattered on the ground were jet-black feathers, but what was even more shocking was that several black eagle corpses lay there, covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.

"Xingbai, what on earth is going on?" Gu Shihan stared at the scene before her, completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

Seeing this, Xingbai quickly jumped off Gu Shihan's shoulder and landed on the ground. Then, she carefully approached the corpses of the black eagles and began to examine them closely.

A moment later, it raised its head and said somewhat uncertainly, "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics either. I could definitely sense that this was Black Hawk territory. These black hawks must have died very recently, no more than a quarter of an hour. And judging from their wounds, they were clearly injured by sharp weapons. Based on this, it's highly likely that other cultivators are hiding nearby!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan and the others dared not be negligent in the slightest. They quickly took out concealment talismans and activated them to completely hide their auras. They quietly hid in the surrounding secluded places, leaving only Xingbai to continue to investigate the situation nearby.

Just then, Xingbai's urgent voice came over: "Hanhan, something bad has happened! Someone is walking this way! You all need to quickly enter the spatial dimension to hide!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan did not hesitate for a moment. With a flash, they entered the space at an extremely fast speed, while also making sure to completely eliminate any trace of their presence.

After hiding in the space, Gu Shihan gently opened the skylight and peered out through the narrow gap.

Sure enough, less than twenty breaths later, a group of people dressed in strange clothes appeared next to Black Hawk's corpse.

The group of people looked wary, constantly glancing around as if they were urgently searching for something.

"Ling'er, I told you long ago that no one would appear here, why did you insist on believing me?!" A tall man in a gorgeous red and green robe held the small hand of the woman beside him and said affectionately.

The woman gently lifted her veil, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face. Her delicate, white hands, as smooth as mutton-fat jade, slowly caressed the man's face, her eyes revealing a hint of coquettishness and reproach.

"Senior brother, Ling'er is just worried that something unexpected might happen. After all, this is the first time Ling'er has accepted such an important mission, so naturally I dare not be careless. Are you going to laugh at Ling'er, senior brother?"

Upon hearing this, the man's heart stirred, and without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his strong arms and pulled the woman's soft and slender body tightly into his embrace.

His handsome face quickly approached the woman's pink and delicate lips, and without hesitation, he covered them with his own hot lips, fully enjoying the sweetness and tenderness of this moment.

The two of them lingered in a passionate kiss for a while, until they were both a little out of breath, before reluctantly parting ways.

He waved his hand, signaling the people following him to look around, but they found nothing.

The man then put his arm around the woman's slender waist and left together. However, just before they left, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked thoughtfully toward the place where Gu Shihan was hiding.

This sudden action startled the unsuspecting Gu Shihan. She hurriedly used both hands and feet to close the sunroof as quickly as possible, afraid that the other party would discover her whereabouts.

Hiding in the shadows, Gu Shihan's heart raced, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her eyes widened as the image of the woman she had just seen kept flashing through her mind—it was Bai Ling!

You should know that I heard before that Bai Ling's cultivation was destroyed and she was expelled from the Wuhua Sect because she killed her fellow disciples!
But now, seeing it with my own eyes, this woman is not only alive and well, but the aura emanating from her body clearly shows that her cultivation has reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm!
