Soon, a powerful attack landed on the black-clothed man.
A scream was heard. “Ah…” The black-clothed man was sent flying hundreds of feet away. The black-clothed man’s eyes were filled with malice after being severely injured for the second time. “Brat, just you wait. One day, I’ll kill you with my own hands.”
With that, the black-clothed man decisively turned around and dragged his heavily injured body away.
“Heh, even this can’t kill him. An Out of Body expert’s life is really tough to take!” After forcing the opponent to retreat, Qin Lu put away the Sea God’s Halberd and flew towards Ye Qingcheng.
Seeing Qin Lu return, the anxious Ye Qingcheng relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face as he had saved her once again.
After the black-clothed man left, the surroundings returned to normal. Qin Lu, Ye Qingcheng, and the seven elders also returned to Wuchen Peak.
“Qin Lu, you’re amazing. You actually heavily injured an Out of Body expert!” The first elder held back her laughter. Fortunately, Qin Lu joined in the battle; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“First, elder, don’t praise me. I’ll become arrogant.”
“You play too much when you’re not serious, but you’re quite reliable when it comes to critical situations.”
“By the way, you’re already stronger than us. We’ll discuss it with the vice sect master and let you be the twelfth elder. The Holy Maiden Sect doesn’t really have a male elder.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want to be an elder!”
“Then, whatever you want, just say it. As long as we have it, we’ll give it to you.” The first elder said seriously. Although Qin Lu entered the sect late, his contributions to the sect were great. If they didn’t reward him, they were worried that Qin Lu would blame them for being stingy.
“First elder, as a disciple of the sect, is this what we should do?”
“Qin Lu, even if that’s the case, we’re such a big sect. There must be order and clear rewards and punishments!”
“If you really want to give me a reward, then reward me to be able to live with Qingcheng forever!”
“Uh…” The seven elders were instantly embarrassed. Ye Qingcheng’s face was also red. She reached out and fiercely twisted Qin Lu’s shoulder.
“Ah… it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
“Ye Qingcheng, you’re murdering your husband!”“Who’s your husband? You have been fooling around all day long!” Ye Qingcheng threw down her words and walked back to her room.
“Hey, you little girl, why are you leaving? In any case, I saved your life, and you don’t even have the slightest bit of gratitude!”
Looking at the two of them, the seven elders suddenly felt that they were an eyesore standing there, and as a result, they all turned around and left Wuchen Peak.
When the seven elders returned to the main hall, the vice sect master also returned.
Seeing that she had returned as well, the eleven of them immediately came forward to greet her.
The Second Elder asked hurriedly. “Vice Sect Master, how is it? Did you manage to kill that abyssal demon?”
“No, I was only able to heavily injure him. This guy is too cunning. He ran back to a branch of the demons. There were eight nascent soul experts there. I couldn’t kill him, so I came back.”
“Oh, what a pity. By the way, Vice Sect Master, after you left, another Out of Body realm expert came out.”
“Really?! Does Qin Lu have the ability to predict the future?” Tantai Yue was shocked. During the day, Qin Lu told them that there was going to be an Out of Body realm expert that would sneak attack during the night, but they didn’t believe it.
However, when they thought of Qin Lu’s performance on the ancient battlefield, they decided to believe him this time. But they didn’t expect that an Out of Body realm expert would really come.
“What about that expert? What happened to him?”
“He was injured by Qin Lu and fled!”
“Qin Lu actually injured an Out of Body realm expert?” The vice sect master was shocked again. Even she didn’t have the confidence to seriously injure an Out of Body realm expert. This time, if she hadn’t prepared in advance and borrowed the power of a formation, she wouldn’t have been able to injure that abyssal demon.
Qin Lu, an early Nascent Soul realm expert, was actually able to injure an Out of Body realm expert. It was too unbelievable.
“He used that divine weapon to injure the other party.”
“What about him? Where is he right now?”
“He’s on Wuchen Peak with Qingcheng. This fellow is indeed formidable, but he’s never serious. He’s always provoking that girl, Qingcheng, to get angry.” The second elder sighed with emotion.
“Actually, I think her change seems quite good like this. Didn’t you notice that ever since he came, Qingcheng changed a lot? Moreover, it’s very lonely for her to live alone on Wuchen Peak. It’s good to have someone to protect her and accompany her.”“Right, did you recognize the identity of that Out of Body realm expert?”
“Uh, that person’s face was covered, so we couldn’t see his true appearance. However, judging from his strength, he’s not a demonic cultivator,” the Third Elder replied.
“If he’s not a demon, then he’s a human cultivator. A human cultivator colluding with a demon? This is no small matter.” Tantai Yue’s expression was grave.
If not for Qin Lu’s prompting, it would have been very difficult for them to guard against an Out of Body expert. This person must be found as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
“Sect Leader, during the battle just now, I suspected someone. I just don’t know if it’s him!” The Sixth Elder, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
“Oh, who do you suspect?” Tantai Yue and the other elders instantly looked at her.
“Xiao Family, Xiao Ming.”
“Xiao Ming? You suspect him?”
“Yes. As far as I know, there aren’t many experts who use spears. Moreover, among the Out of Body realm experts who use a spear, I only know one person, Xiao Ming.”
Hearing the name Xiao Ming, everyone’s expression immediately became complicated.
The next day, Qin Lu was still asleep, suddenly Xiao Gu ran in from outside. “Father, Father, wake up, wake up.”
“Uh, Xiao Gu, it’s so early. Father is very sleepy. Let Father sleep a little longer. If you have any problems, find Mother!” Qin Lu turned over and continued to sleep.
“Father, hurry up and get up. Otherwise, Mother will come in a moment.”
“Aiya, if Mother comes, then she comes. It’s not like she hasn’t come to Father’s place before.”
“But Mother seems very angry. If you don’t get up, you’ll be beaten!”
“Angry?” Qin Lu was stunned. Could it be that Ye Qingcheng is still angry about what happened last night? That shouldn’t be the case! Usually, he would say similar things. Ye Qingcheng’s anger would only last for a short while, and it would quickly pass. Why was she still angry today?
“Xiao Gu, you didn’t see wrong, right?”
“I didn’t see wrong. Mother’s face had an ugly expression.”
“Uh, it’s so early in the morning. Did someone provoke her? There shouldn’t be anyone in the Holy Maiden Sect who would provoke her. What exactly happened to this girl?” After muttering a few words, Qin Lu prepared to get up.
Before he could get up, the door was suddenly kicked open. Ye Qingcheng, dressed in white, walked in with large strides. At the same time, Qin Lu also saw that her face was really as Xiao Gu said. Her eyes were filled with deep anger.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng like this, Qin Lu suddenly felt that something was wrong! He didn’t do anything, so why does it feel like she was so angry?!
