Zhang Gaizhi helped Qiu Fei sit up, leaning against the cave wall.
"Is such that."
He explained: "There are people from Tianyin Pavilion patrolling at the foot of the mountain. I suspect that they are chasing my disciples from Tianyin Pavilion, so I want to rescue them.
However, the strength of Brother Lu and I is worrying, and self-protection is a problem. If you recover, you can give it a try. "
Qiu Fei listened and said silently: "The situation outside is unclear, and we are outnumbered. If we show up rashly, we may fall into a trap set by others."
Lu Zhonghe nodded repeatedly, "Junior Brother Qiu is absolutely right. That's what I thought, so I didn't agree to go down the mountain."
Qiu Fei was about to speak when his heart suddenly moved and he looked up at the entrance of the cave.
Zhang Gaizhi and Lu Zhonghe followed his gaze.
I saw a black shadow rushing in, it was the little black girl. It ran over with a "hoo" and threw itself into Qiu Fei's arms, humming with excitement.
Qiu Fei also held it with mixed feelings and stroked its hair.
"Junior brothers, stay away from Wu Shengyi!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the cave.
Several people looked up and saw Zou Pingyu's figure appearing in front of them.
However, his face was no longer as free and easy as usual, he looked very tired and embarrassed.
Looking at his body, his clothes were in tatters and stained with blood. It was obvious that he had experienced a bloody battle not long ago.
Lu Zhonghe hurriedly greeted him, "Senior Brother Zou, what are you..."
Zou Pingyu sat down on the ground, took a breath, and then replied: "I was chased by people from Tianyin Pavilion and fled into the forest.
When I was desperate, I saw the black girl and followed her all the way to the top of the mountain. "
Zhang Gaizhi was surprised, "Senior Brother Zou, are there no people from Tianyin Pavilion following you?"
Zou Pingyu shook his head, "They are still far away from me, but they are searching this way. Maybe they will be there in a few days."
As he said that, he looked at Qiu Fei, saw Qiu Fei's condition, and couldn't help but ask: "Junior Brother Qiu is injured?"
"A few days ago, I encountered a strong man from Tianyin Pavilion. I almost fell into his hands, but luckily I was alert and escaped."
Qiu Fei said calmly.
He didn't want to mention this matter, so he asked: "Senior Brother Zou, what happened to you and Senior Brother Yu after we left?"
"Don't mention it."
When Qiu Fei asked, Zou Pingyu couldn't help but sigh, "After you left, Senior Brother Yu and I kept a close eye on you.
We no longer lived in that cave. Instead, we dug a small hiding hole a hundred feet away from the cave and squatted in it. "
At this point, he looked embarrassed, "As for Junior Brother Qiu's warning, Senior Brother Yu said he didn't care, but he still took it seriously."
Qiu Fei understood. The two of them squatted in the newly dug pit just to verify the authenticity of what Qiu Fei said.
In fact, he was also very strange.
At that time, with the strength of the fourth level of the Zuohundong Ming Realm, even though there was only one person, he could definitely kill them all in one fell swoop.
But he didn't do that and chose to leave.
This makes people guess.
"and after?"
Qiu Fei couldn't help but ask.
"later?"
Zou Pingyu smiled bitterly, "We squatted in the pit for a day and a night, but we still didn't see anyone from Tianyin Pavilion coming.
Senior Brother Yu thought you were alarmist, so the two of us lived in the cave again and disguised ourselves again. "
"It seems that I am too nervous."
Qiu Fei laughed at himself.
"You're not neurotic."
Zou Pingyu looked solemn and said sadly: "On the night of the third day, a group of people came to the cave and trapped the two of us in the cave."
"Really here?"
Lu Zhonghe glanced at Qiu Fei in disbelief, full of shock.
Qiu Fei really guessed it right.
Zou Pingyu nodded, "Yes, there are more than ten people. The leader is a strong man at the fourth level of the Insight Realm. His name is Zuo Hun."
Qiu Fei frowned, "Is this man in his thirties, tall, ordinary-looking, with a stiff voice, but a very arrogant look?"
After listening to Qiu Fei's description, Zou Pingyu thought for a moment and nodded: "That person is exactly like what Junior Brother Qiu described."
He suddenly stared at Qiu Fei and said in surprise: "Did you meet him?"
Qiu Fei nodded, "If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't be like this!"
"and you……"
Zou Pingyu blurted out and wanted to ask, how did you escape from the other party's hands, but when he thought that there was something inappropriate about this, he stopped abruptly.
Zhang Gaizhi explained at the side: "Senior Brother Zou doesn't know that Junior Brother Qiu has been in a coma for more than ten days and just woke up."
Qiu Fei naturally understood what Zou Pingyu meant, and said calmly: "After meeting Zuo Hun, I knew I was outmatched, so I took the lead in pouring the pre-prepared poison on him.
At that time, he was drugged, but he still attacked me with a spiritual palm move.
Fortunately, I had escaped dozens of feet away. Although this spiritual palm hit my back, the damage was greatly weakened.
I was lucky enough to escape, otherwise, all the senior brothers would never see me again. "
After sobering up for so long, Qiu Fei finally figured out how to explain to everyone how he escaped from the Dongming Realm.
He had already deployed the drug once before to deal with the flame wolf in the cave, so he should not be suspected.
"That's the fourth level of the Dongming Realm!"
Zhang Gaizhi said in surprise, "Junior Brother Qiu's ability to escape death is remarkable. If it were me, my legs and feet would have been so frightened that I would have given up on the spot."
No one laughed at him.
Everyone knows that in the face of absolute strength, the so-called resistance is just adding another cold corpse.
"What happened to you...then?"
Qiu Fei asked Zou Pingyu curiously.
"What else?"
Zou Pingyu smiled bitterly, "Of course they resisted desperately. We were in the cave, with the natural rock barrier, and they couldn't do anything to us for a while.
However, their attacks also made us exhausted and unable to calm down and practice. As a result, our injuries have never fully recovered. "
Having said this, his eyes suddenly looked at Qiu Fei with a strange expression.
Qiu Fei was puzzled by the look and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Senior Brother Zou, why are you looking at me like this?"
Zou Pingyu suddenly asked: "Junior Brother Qiu, do you know why they have never killed us?"
Qiu Fei shook his head blankly.
"Because, Zuo Hun has been asking one thing, where did the four of you escape? And, you were particularly pointed out."
Zou Pingyu stared at Qiu Fei closely, "What did you do before that made a strong man in the Insight Realm miss you so much?"
Elder Liu quickly stood up and explained: "Senior Qiu killed the alchemist Shi in order to save me."
Elder Liu didn't know what the real situation was at that time.
However, by speaking out to support Qiu Fei at this time, he at least wanted to leave a good impression in his heart.
He finally saw it.
Among these people, Zhang Gaizhi and Lu Zhonghe did not like him and were dissatisfied with their exclusive use of Shifangsheng's storage bag.
However, for Qiu Fei's sake, it was inconvenient for the two of them to have an argument.
He knew better that the two of them were trying to beat him up, and they naturally hoped that the Liu family would not play tricks when activating the teleportation array.
Immediately, Elder Liu described the scene at that time. Finally, he confessed to Zou Pingyu the fact that his family owned the teleportation array.
"Teleportation array?"
Zou Pingyu was surprised and happy, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known there was a teleportation array, we would have followed you and left."
After saying that, Zou Pingyu sighed softly, "Although Zuo Hun is powerful, he did not participate in the attack, but stood aside and watched.
After staying for a few days, he left. I probably went to look for Master Qiu's disciples, so Senior Brother Yu and I seized this favorable opportunity and launched a breakout late at night.
During the breakout, Senior Brother Yu and I got separated. I don’t know how he is doing now or whether he has escaped Tianyin Pavilion’s pursuit. "
Zhang Gaizhi looked at Qiu Fei and said worriedly: "Junior Brother Qiu, I'm afraid it's not safe here anymore, Tianyin Pavilion will come looking for him sooner or later.
We should have planned ahead. "
Qiu Fei nodded, "This place is indeed unsafe and we should leave.
However, the people from Tianyin Pavilion are searching the surroundings at the moment. If you leave at this time, wouldn't you be caught? "
"Leave after dark."
Elder Liu interjected.
Everyone looked at each other, nodded in unison, and dispersed to get ready.
Zou Pingyu chose a place next to Qiu Fei, sat down, and meditated.
These days, he has been running away non-stop and has no time to practice. The old injuries have not healed and new ones have appeared, making him very depressed.
Qiu Fei patted the little black girl on the head and told it to stay in the jungle and come back immediately to report if it found a human approaching.
Originally, he had powerful spiritual consciousness, and it was clear after a little exploration. However, the sequelae of the explosion were too severe and he could not use it.
After receiving the order, the little black girl rushed out of the cave and went down the mountain with a "Zhisi" sound.
“It’s really nice to have a pet!”
Zou Pingyu looked at the little black girl's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not a pet!"
Qiu Fei glanced at Zou Pingyu and said solemnly: "Without the black girl, I, Qiu Fei, would have died twice.
In my heart, it is my relative, a relative who depends on each other for life, and is no longer a monster. "
After that, he took out eight middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag, held them in his two palms, and started practicing calmly.
Although his body is still very weak and his internal strength has not yet recovered, it does not prevent Qiu Fei from practicing slowly.
However, as soon as he mobilized his inner strength, he immediately noticed something strange in his body. He once again felt the barrier of the ninth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm.
Moreover, the will to break through is very strong.
Although Qiu Fei felt strange in his heart, he was very calm on his face, slowly running his mind, absorbing the spiritual power emitted by the middle-grade spiritual stone bit by bit.
As the practice progressed, the speed at which the meridians absorbed spiritual power became faster and faster, and the aura emanating from his body became stronger.
As the speed of absorbing spiritual power became faster, in a moment, all eight middle-grade spiritual stones were absorbed and turned into powder.
Qiu Fei was stunned, feeling ecstatic in his heart. This was a sign of a breakthrough!
Immediately, he took out dozens of mid-grade spiritual stones and piled them in front of him, absorbing them frantically.
When Zou Pingyu saw this scene, he was immediately shocked.
Looking at the dozens of shining middle-grade spiritual stones, he couldn't move his eyes away and swallowed hard.
This boy is so extravagant!
Zou Pingyu thought bitterly.
