The bullet was too fast for him to dodge.

However, after learning from the previous mistakes, the white-haired geezer immediately reacted. He quickly ran more Genuine Qi to protect his body.

With a bang, the bullet hit his chest, but it was blocked by his strong body-protecting Genuine Qi and only grazed his skin.

Although the bullet did not injure him, who was the Strong at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, it was enough to make the white-haired geezer turn pale with fright.

In other words, if he had not reacted in time, this strange item might very well have injured him.

While he was distracted, Niu Cuihua took Qin Haodong away quickly. Their figures disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, they arrived at a place a hundred miles away. After confirming that they were safe, Niu Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing that her cultivation had improved. However, she was not invincible in the whole world. The Four Kingdoms of the Lingwu Continent had their own deep foundations and countless masters.

After stopping, she asked, “Hubby, where are we going next?”

She didn’t want to go back to the Ghost King Sect and would follow Qin Haodong wherever he went in the future.

“Let’s go to the Dragon Kingdom. Li Mengyao has caused us so much trouble. No matter what, we have to get even with her.”

Niu Cuihua said, “Good idea! The two geezers from the Dragon Academy hurt me. I must pay them back for this!”

Qin Haodong said, “Before we go to the Dragon Kingdom, I have to go to the General Mansion of He Changhai to bid farewell to Ziwei.”

No matter what, he was the destined one that He Ziwei had chosen. He couldn’t just leave without saying a word.

Niu Cuihua said, “But we’ve created so much trouble in Rosefinch Kingdom. Is it safe for us to go back now?”

“It doesn’t matter. There is a saying in my hometown that the more dangerous the place is, the safer it will be.

“Now all the masters of Rosefinch Kingdom are at the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. Thus Rosefinch City is the safest place for us.”

After that, they turned around and flew back in the direction of Rosefinch City.

In the General Mansion, although it was already late, He Ziwei was still sitting at the window. She was unable to fall asleep.

Originally, after meeting Qin Haodong, she thought that she had found her Mr. Right, but Qin Haodong mysteriously disappeared at the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. There was still no news of him.

After hearing the news about the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring, He Changhai had rushed over with his people and He Ziwei wondered whether this incident was related to Qin Haodong.

“Where are you? Are you safe? Are you doing fine?”

Just as she was mumbling to herself, there was a sudden commotion in the General Mansion. She heard continuous fights and curses.

“What is happening? Is someone making trouble in the General Mansion?”

Filled with doubts, she went outside the door and saw that the guards of the General Mansion were badly injured. About ten men in black were standing in the courtyard.

The leader in black was wearing a golden mask and he exuded a powerful momentum. He seemed to have reached the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

He Ziwei couldn’t be more familiar with these people. They were from the Ghost King Sect.

It seemed like these people took advantage of the situation and attacked the General Mansion. They knew that the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring was in trouble at this very moment.

“Little girl, you’d better come out by yourself.” The man with the golden mask said when he saw He Ziwei, “I think you know why we are here. I’m the Seventh Elder of the Ghost King Sect. Hand over the Black Demon Pearl and we’ll spare your life.”

He Ziwei said, “I don’t know what a Black Demon Pearl is. I don’t have that either.”

“Little girl, you’re not being wise. You’re making me angry.” The Seventh Elder’s figure flashed and arrived in front of He Ziwei. Then, he stretched out his hand to grab her neck.

The difference in their cultivation was great. In the face of the Strong at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, He Ziwei didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.

“Little girl, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant.” The Seventh Elder released her neck and said coldly, “I’ll give you another chance. Hand over the Black Demon Pearl quickly.”

He Ziwei said, “I’ve already told you. Even if you kill me, I still don’t have that thing.”

“We know that He Changqing had already given the Black Demon Pearl to you.”

The Seventh Elder said in a cold voice, “I’ll count to three now. If you still don’t hand over the Black Demon Pearl, I’ll strip you naked immediately.

“If you continue to be stubborn, you should know what the consequence will be. Remember what our Ghost King Sect is good at. We can suck you dry and turn you into a mummified corpse.”

Then, he began to count down. “Three… two… one.”

After counting to the last number, the Seventh Elder was just about to take action. He suddenly heard someone shout from the side, “Who dares touch her?”

The Seventh Elder turned his head and saw another person in black with a golden mask appearing in the courtyard..

“First Elder, why are you here? The sect master was very anxious after he failed to find you during this period of time,” the Seventh Elder said and hurried over as he bowed to Niu Cuihua.

When Qin Haodong and Niu Cuihua arrived at the General Mansion, they happened to see this scene. In order to save He Ziwei quietly, Qin Haodong asked Niu Cuihua to reveal her identity.

Niu Cuihua said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

The Seventh Elder said, “I’m looking for the whereabouts of the Black Demon Pearl.”

Niu Cuihua said, “Let her go. You don’t have to worry about this thing here.”

“This…” The Seventh Elder hesitated for a moment before continuing, “First Elder, I have learned that the He Family has one Black Demon Pearl…”

Niu Cuihua said discontentedly, “Don’t you understand what I said? Let her go quickly.”

“But… this is what sect master ordered.”

Obviously, the Seventh Elder was unwilling to give up just like that..

“I will explain the matter to sect master. I do not wish to say it again,” Niu Cuihua said and suddenly exuded a powerful momentum.

The Seventh Elder was shocked. Originally, Niu Cuihua became First Elder because she was the sect master’s sister. He did not expect that she had reached the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm in just a few days.

The Strong were respected in the Ghost King Sect. Even if the First Elder asked him to die, he had to obey.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, “Yes, First Elder. I’ll leave.”

After that, he waved his hand and left the General Mansion with the other ghost slaves behind him.

He Ziwei looked at Niu Cuihua and coldly said, “I don’t care what tricks your Ghost King Sect are up to. I don’t have the Black Demon Pearl.”

Qin Haodong said, “Ziwei, you misunderstood. It’s me!”

Hearing the familiar voice, He Ziwei trembled and said in surprise, “Haodong, is it really you?”

Qin Haodong waved his hand and wiped away the disguising medicine on his face. His true face was revealed to He Ziwei. “Of course it’s me!”

“Haodong, you’re back. That’s great!” He Ziwei said and jumped into Qin Haodong’s arms.

Her eyes were filled with tears of joy. She had been worried about this man all these days. He was finally back.

Qin Haodong patted her on the shoulder and said, “I’m leaving Rosefinch Kingdom soon. What are you going to do?”

He Ziwei said without hesitation, “I don’t want to stay here if you leave. I want to go with you.”

“If you’ve made up your mind, let’s leave right now. It’ll be too late for us to leave if Rosefinch Kingdom finds out what’s going on here.”

“Okay! I’ll go with you now.”

He Ziwei turned around and stored some commonly used items into her Storage Ring. Then, she left the General Mansion with Qin Haodong and Niu Cuihua. The three of them flew in the direction of the Dragon Kingdom.

The journey from Rosefinch City to Dragon Kingdom took about two days. They were in no hurry and enjoyed the beautiful scenery as they flew.

The next day, when they were flying forward, a mountain range appeared in front of them.

Suddenly, Qin Haodong keenly felt a wave of energy fluctuation. It seemed that someone was setting up a formation.

As a formation master, he could immediately sense the unique energy fluctuation when a formation was being set up.

“Some people are here. Let’s go and take a look!” Qin Haodong said to Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei.

Qin Haodong was curious. The three of them approached the source of the energy fluctuation cautiously.

In front of them was a tall mountain. There was a huge cave at the foot of the mountain. Some people were walking in front of the cave. After taking a closer look, Qin Haodong found that they were from the Dragon Kingdom.

Li Mengyao, Li Tianxiong, and Li Tiankuo were all there.

Li Tianxiong was a high-level formation master. He was directing the others to set up a formation in front of the cave.

“Bastard, I’m going to kill them now.”

When she saw Li Mengyao and the others, Niu Cuihua was instantly infuriated. She wanted to kill those people from the Dragon Kingdom.

She was already at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so she didn’t care about Li Tianxiong and Li Tiankuo at all. Even if all the people from the Dragon Kingdom attacked her together, they still wouldn’t be her match.

“Wait a minute.” Qin Haodong stopped Niu Cuihua who was about to make a move and whispered, “No hurry! Let’s see what they are doing.”

Logically speaking, the people of the Dragon Kingdom had left Rosefinch Kingdom for quite some time already. Qin Haodong met them here. It meant that those people definitely had something important to do.

“Well, I’ll let them live a little longer.”

Niu Cuihua suppressed her impulse to kill these people. Qin Haodong, Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei hid and waited to see what Li Mengyao and her men were doing.

More than an hour passed, under Li Tianxiong’s command, the people from the Dragon Kingdom finally finished setting up the formation.

Those people were no longer so careful. Li Tiankuo took out the sword on his back and slashed it toward the cave.

Suddenly, a fierce gale sprang up. The huge Sword Qi cut the cave in two. Even the mountain behind the cave seemed to tremble.

“Ao… ao…”

After that, two furious roars immediately came from the cave. Soon after, two demonic beasts charged out, their bodies shining with blood-red light.

These two demonic beasts looked very similar to the bears on earth, but they were about ten times bigger in size than the bears on earth. They had a pair of wings on both sides of their bodies. When they spread their wings, their wingspans were more than 20 meters long.

Their eyes were golden in color and they looked very menacing. Their entire bodies were covered with fiery scales which looked like burning flames. This meant that their defensive power was amazing.

Qin Haodong didn’t know much about the demonic beasts in the Lingwu Continent, but Niu Cuihua knew what they were. She exclaimed, “They are the Flame Gold-eyed Beasts!”.

“Are they powerful?” Qin Haodong asked.

“Extremely powerful. They are the eighth-level demonic beasts and belong to the fire element. These two geezers of the Dragon Kingdom definitely aren’t a match for them if they have a contest.”

Qin Haodong nodded. No wonder the people of the Dragon Kingdom set up a formation here. It turned out that they were here to catch the two demonic beasts.

When they felt the might of the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts, the people from the Dragon Kingdom quickly retreated.

“Move!” Li Tianxiong shouted.

After that, Li Tianxiong, Li Tiankuo, and Li Mengyao each took a spot. The three of them activated the formation they had already set up.

With a loud bang, a dense fog suddenly appeared and covered a radius of 1,000 meters in front of the cave, which instantly surrounded the two defenseless Flame Gold-eyed Beasts.

“This is Hidden Dragon Trapping Formation!”

After the formation was activated, Qin Haodong immediately knew that this was a high-level trapping formation.

Niu Cuihua asked in a low voice, “Hubby, do you know anything about this formation? Is it very powerful?”
