Lu Qing's golden flying boat continued its swift northward journey.
Before long, they entered the polar region, where the surrounding temperature plummeted.
And it was during this time that he led everyone on their journey.
In a frost-covered cave, an old man dressed in black robes looked at a shattered jade tablet in his hand with some shock and anger.
"Heng'er's life tablet is shattered. He's dead? Who killed him?!"
In his shock and anger, the old man in black robes immediately used a secret technique to calculate with his mind.
However, the results calculated by the secret method were chaotic, and nothing could be calculated. It was impossible to know who the murderer was who killed his beloved disciple.
Upon seeing this, the old man in black robes immediately became serious.
There are only two explanations for this result.
Firstly, when the other party killed Mo Heng, someone used a rare treasure to conceal and confuse the secrets of heaven.
Secondly, the person who killed Mo Heng was far more powerful than him.
This is why he couldn't deduce even the slightest clue.
Neither of these scenarios is good news for the old man in black robes.
The former indicates that the other party has a powerful background, exceptional knowledge, and knows to use a rare treasure to shield their secrets before taking action.
The latter is even more terrifying, stronger than him, a heretical cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core Realm. He is probably only one of the most outstanding among the righteous cultivators.
"What exactly did Heng'er do outside to bring such a deadly disaster upon himself!"
I warned him long ago that the righteous forces are powerful in the world today, and we should try to be patient and lie low, accumulate strength, and only then will we have a chance to compete with the righteous forces in the future.
But once he tasted the pleasure of refining human essence and blood, he became hopelessly addicted.
Now, as expected, the goods have arrived.
If the old man in black robes had previously harbored some thoughts of avenging his disciple...
Now that he couldn't deduce any information, his anger had long since dissipated.
Instead, vigilance prevailed.
Because he didn't know whether his good disciple had revealed his whereabouts before he died.
"No, we can't stay in this cave any longer!"
Although he knew that his good disciple was unlikely to betray him.
But the old man in black robes did not want to take that risk.
At this moment, he no longer had any thought of avenging his disciple; he only wanted to leave as soon as possible and find a new place to hide.
He knew it because of the existence of the holy mountain.
The righteous forces of today are very keen on hunting down and annihilating these evil cultivators.
Therefore, even though his cave was protected by layers of formations, the old man in black robes still dared not risk staying there any longer.
"Pack your things and then leave!"
The old man in black robes was a decisive person. After making up his mind, he immediately began to pack up the things in the cave.
The main task was to collect the materials for setting up the formation in the cave.
He had been cultivating this secluded cave dwelling for a long time.
Five layers of magic arrays were set up around the cave, inside and out.
Most of the resources I've collected over the years are on this.
As long as these array materials are collected, once the next secluded cultivation spot is found, a few simple arrangements can create a new cave dwelling.
The old man in black robes felt he had been decisive enough, deciding to leave immediately upon learning of his disciple's death.
However, just as he collected the materials for the first layer of the array, his body suddenly stiffened.
He sensed that several auras had suddenly appeared in the sky.
The old man in black robes froze on the spot, completely afraid to move.
Although the auras in the sky were not powerful, only at the Innate Realm level, he could easily crush them.
However, it was extremely unusual for a mere cultivator at the Innate Realm to appear in the sky.
Furthermore, the fact that someone appeared above his cave dwelling so soon after Mo Heng's death made things even more suspicious.
It should be noted that his cave dwelling was extremely well hidden, concealed by the array.
It is almost impossible for cultivators below the Golden Core realm to detect it.
For a moment, the old man in black robes dared not make any rash moves.
They remained extremely vigilant, sensing the movements above, hoping that the other party had simply happened to be there.
They dared not continue dismantling and collecting the array materials.
If the other party is indeed coming for him, then the formation in the cave would be a great help to him.
"Brother, you're saying the person is down there?"
Looking down at the vast ice field from the sky, Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled.
In her perception, the ice field below was unremarkable and seemed to have nothing special about it.
"It can't be wrong."
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Lu Qing watched as the red lines of cause and effect activated by the Xuanji Bagua Plate fell straight down.
Furthermore, one could clearly sense the flow of energy within the formation.
"The other side has set up an array to conceal their cave."
Unfortunately, none of the formations the opponent knew could shield cause and effect.
Moreover, the opponent's skill in array formations was only average; the array they set up was only good enough to fool Xiao Yan and the other cultivators below the Golden Core stage.
But the energy of that formation was far too obvious to a master of formations like him.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Xiao Yan suddenly realized what was going on.
She knew that her brother was extremely proficient in the art of formations, so if he said so, it must be true.
As for Mu Tian and the others, upon hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, they immediately looked down to observe carefully.
But with their cultivation level, how could they possibly see through the formation set up by a Golden Core Realm cultivator?
However, they knew that Lu Qing wouldn't just say things offhand.
Since they couldn't see through it, it must be because the opponent's formation was so sophisticated that it was beyond their comprehension.
Therefore, after observing without success,
Mu Tian asked, "Senior Brother Chen, the other party is hiding in the cave. How can we force him to come out?"
“It’s very simple,” Lu Qing said calmly.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and slowly reached out to grab.
Mu Tian and the others were stunned by what they saw.
Just as he was pondering Lu Qing's intentions,
The next moment, their eyes widened in surprise.
As soon as Lu Qing's hand reached out, the wind and clouds within a radius of dozens of miles changed color.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth converged at an extremely rapid pace.
The speed at which it converged even directly stirred up a storm of spiritual energy!
With such a terrifying amount of spiritual energy gathered, a gigantic palm materialized at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A few breaths later, a gigantic palm, several miles wide and radiating a five-colored, glazed light, appeared in the sky.
The moment the giant hand was fully formed, an indescribably powerful pressure appeared out of nowhere.
It completely suppressed all the surrounding space.
"This, this..."
Such a shocking scene almost made Mu Tian and his companions' eyes pop out of their sockets.
They stared in disbelief at the scene before them, uttering incoherent shouts several times, unable to utter a single complete sentence.
And to their astonishment, Lu Qing pressed his palm down.
With this movement, the enormous five-colored glazed palm that stretched across the sky also stirred up countless gales, grabbing towards the ice field below with the force of the earth collapsing and the sky falling!
