God-Slaying Blade

Half an hour later.

Qin Jue opened his eyes, and a strange, dark red light flashed across them.

At this moment, a diamond-shaped dark red light mark has successfully floated in his soul sea.

This light imprint is the Soul-Connecting Blood Imprint!

"Big White".

Swish!

At Qin Jue's shout, the big white dog, which had been dozing on the back of the black eagle, suddenly jumped up.

"ah--"

"Oh no! That white-haired bastard has discovered I'm faking unconsciousness!"

"Ah Jue, when did you learn to howl like a wolf?"

Two voices, one in front and one behind, entered Qin Jue's ears in a somewhat noisy manner.

Qin Jue was overjoyed; this Beast Soul Communicator truly allowed him to communicate with demonic beasts!

However, the sound he emitted was directional; only when his voice reached the Great White's ears could the Great White hear his 'wolf howl.' Although the Black Eagle could hear his voice, it heard a human voice, not eagle language...

Qin Jue laughed and scolded, "I don't know any wolf howls. I've just cultivated a method that allows you to hear what I'm saying more directly in wolf language. Although we've always had a good understanding, it's still more convenient to communicate directly."

With wide, bright eyes, she exclaimed in delight, "That's wonderful!"

"Haha, I think it's pretty good too. That old man Nie has finally done something worthwhile." Qin Jue smiled, then glanced at the black eagle that could no longer feign unconsciousness and said, "That old man is dead. What will you choose now? Will you follow me, or will I pluck your feathers, gut you, and roast you over a fire?"

The black eagle exclaimed in surprise, "You've also learned Beast Soul Techniques?"

Qin Jue said calmly, "Now is not the time for such nonsense. I want to know your choice!"

The black eagle quickly replied, "A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, and I am the wisest of all birds, so of course I choose to follow you."

Nie Hengtian is blind, but it isn't.

Seeing Nie Hengtian's miserable death, as a black eagle with a brain, it naturally knew what choice to make.

Qin Jue smiled with satisfaction: "That's excellent. Although we'll miss out on one meal of meat, our journeys will be much easier from now on."

"Big White, get off it. It has decided to follow me from now on."

Big White leaped down from the black eagle's back.

The black eagle flapped its wings twice and stood up.

"Big White, you stay up here and keep watch. Black Eagle and I will go down and take a look."

Qin Jue gave a brief instruction and then flew onto the black eagle's back: "Go to the cliffside cave."

With a flap of its wings, the black eagle took flight and soared to the top of the cliff, where it steadily and slowly plummeted downwards.

Upon reaching the front of the grotto, Qin Jue heard the cries of many babies and the sobs of some women.

His heart sank, and he said to the black eagle, "You wait here. When someone comes out, take them upstairs."

"Yes, Master," the black eagle replied.

Qin Jue flashed and rushed into one of the cave entrances.

The interior of this grotto clearly shows signs of excavation. But these signs indicate that many years have passed.

"Was this place once the site of a sect?" Qin Jue wondered to himself.

After all, even a normal person who wants to live in seclusion wouldn't choose such a dangerous place. Moreover, the numerous grottoes here clearly indicate that many people once lived here.

With a thought, Qin Jue took out the God-Slaying Blade.

"Sister Qingxue, doesn't this look like the ruins of a sect?" Qin Jue asked.

Liu Qingxue looked around the cave and asked, "Are there many caves like this?"

"I estimate there are close to a thousand," Qin Jue said.

Liu Qingxue said, "That's undoubtedly the ruins of a sect. Use your spiritual sense to keep an eye out; you might find something unexpected."

"That's what I think too. But for now, let's get the people trapped here up first," Qin Jue said.

"Um."

Liu Qingxue responded softly, without saying anything more.

Qin Jue walked deeper into the cave, and after walking about ten zhang, a faint light emanated from within.

"That old bastard is dead. I'm here to rescue you. Pack your things and come over." Qin Jue didn't get too close, standing about two zhang away, and said to the figure inside.

In the dim light, Qin Jue seemed to see the woman inside, who appeared to be completely naked.

In the dim light, the woman, who had been sitting on the ground with her knees drawn up, showing little reaction even to the approaching footsteps, suddenly trembled upon hearing Qin Jue's words and turned to look at him: "He...he's really dead? I...I can really get out of here?"

"Yes. Once you're ready, go straight to the cave entrance. The black eagle outside has been tamed by me; it will take you up." Qin Jue finished speaking and was about to turn and leave when the woman hurriedly said, "Young master, could you give me a piece of clothing? That old beast threw all my clothes into the water below the cliff."

Qin Jue didn't say much, but simply took a piece of clothing from his storage ring and threw it over.

He strode out of the cave, leaped onto the back of the black eagle, and addressed all the caves: "Listen up, you people in the caves! That old dog is dead, you are free! Pack your things and wait at the entrance. The black eagle outside will take you up there one by one! I will leave some clothes up there; put them on and wait where you are. I will come back in half an hour to lead you out of this forest!"

"Wow--"

"Waaah—"

Before Qin Jue could finish speaking, the sound of women crying came from many of the grottoes.

Qin Jue sighed softly and said to the black eagle, "You wait here. When someone comes out, take them upstairs."

After saying that, Qin Jue leaped up and flew upwards.

Fortunately, he has quite a few storage rings, so he should be able to find enough clothes.

Otherwise, Qin Jue simply couldn't bear to imagine the scene of leading over three hundred naked women through the woods...

Back on the cliff, Qin Jue began rummaging through his various storage rings for clothes.

He threw all the clothes, whether men's or women's, on the ground.

Soon, the clothes on the ground piled up into a small mountain.

Upon hearing the sound of the black eagle's wings flapping, Qin Jue temporarily left.

These women are already unfortunate enough; he certainly wouldn't stay and embarrass them further.

Half an hour later, Qin Jue returned riding his white horse.

Amidst the cries, more than two hundred women, already dressed, squatted on the ground, while the black eagle stood to the side, covering its head with its wings.

Although Boss Liu said he had arrested more than 300 women, some of the strong-willed women probably committed suicide long ago.

"Our benefactor has returned!"

Suddenly, a woman saw Qin Jue riding over on his white horse and excitedly stood up and exclaimed.

"I kowtow in gratitude to my benefactor for saving my life!"

"Oh, thank you so much, my benefactor!"

All the women knelt down, choking back tears as they kowtowed in gratitude.

Qin Jue said in a low voice, "Get up, all of you. I will lead you back to the main road, and then you can leave on your own. I still have some things to take care of right now, so you should follow this white wolf for now."

"Um... my benefactor, can we wait for you together?" a woman said weakly.

The other women also looked at Qin Jue pleadingly.

They were a little scared when they were told to follow a wolf.

Qin Jue said, "Da Bai is my spirit pet, it won't harm you. It's 160 li from here to the official road. You're already slow at walking, we can't delay any longer. You should follow Da Bai and set off first."

"Okay..." Seeing that their benefactor had not agreed, the women had no choice but to lower their heads and agree.

Qin Jue got off Da Bai, patted Da Bai's back, and said, "Walk slowly and be considerate of them."

Da Bai nodded and walked towards the official road.

The group of women bowed to Qin Jue before hurriedly chasing after Da Bai.

Among these women, only a dozen or so were holding children in their arms.

There were also more than sixty women, their bellies slightly protruding, clearly indicating that they were pregnant.

Qin Jue didn't ask any further questions about the remaining women who had neither children nor pregnancies.

Even if someone abandons the child, what can an outsider like him say?

Qin Jue looked at the black eagle and waved.

Black Eagle quickly walked up to Qin Jue.

"I have doubts about your loyalty, so I'm going to use some methods on you. Are you willing to accept them?" Qin Jue said calmly.

The black eagle was stunned for a moment: "I am a beast, and I haven't even entered the Spirit Realm yet, so I can't sign a soul contract with you."

"I have my own way, but I need your cooperation!" Qin Jue said calmly.

The black eagle nodded and said, "A wise eagle knows when to yield! I understand! Besides, I know that the consequence of not cooperating is definitely becoming a roasted eagle."

Qin Jue smiled faintly and said, "You really are not a fool, but a clever eagle."
