Chapter 144: Chapter 92: Times Change_2

"Has the great battle broken out? Aren’t you short on manpower?" Qin Ming asked.

"The main problem is that we don’t know whether it’s one or two parties from the Outer World supporting the Golden Thief," the man in grey replied with a deep frown.

"Then you should go back, don’t worry about me. True masters won’t bother with a newcomer like me," Qin Ming said.

"Lord Ling ordered me to escort you," the man in grey hesitated.

Qin Ming urged, "I am extremely familiar with the Black and White Mountain region, you can go back with peace of mind, I won’t have any problems."

"Alright!" The man in grey was uneasy, worried that their side’s lack of manpower would ultimately lead to a big problem.

In Yinteng Town, some Fangwai disciples were looking towards the distant mountains. Someone spoke up, "Lord Ling, who is ringing the bell?"

"How would I know, just listen with a calm mind," Ling Xu responded.

The masters connected with the Golden Thief were unsettled. They originally intended to stop Ling Xu, not expecting that their opposition also wanted to hold them there, as someone else was planning to slay the leader of the Golden Thief.

It didn’t matter if the bandit leader died; the key was, some things had to be handed over and couldn’t fall into others’ hands.

...

The talking sparrow returned from scouting, very anxious, saying, "Things aren’t looking good, I saw a stupid bird that flies extremely fast carrying someone chasing down!"

Qin Ming stood on the mountain peak, frowning. Was someone really "thinking" about him?

Obviously, great masters didn’t even know who he was and couldn’t care less about a youth like him.

He sighed lightly, times change, and human hearts are unpredictable.

Qin Ming did not head towards Chixia City but traveled in the opposite direction, trying to avoid this bout of trouble.

"Wait, I’m going to dig up a treasure." Passing through a certain area, he remembered something and told the Crimson Eagle to wait on a mountain peak.

He entered a dense forest, identified his location carefully, and started digging.

The terrain in the Black and White Mountain area was relatively high, and the snow melted a bit slower; two meters underground, the soil was still slightly icy.

"Fortunately, it’s not rotten." Qin Ming picked up a frozen wild rabbit, examined it carefully, and found no adverse changes.

On the contrary, it seemed to still retain strands of fresh air.

"Is it harmless to the flesh and blood body?" Qin Ming pulled out a scrap of cloth from the frozen soil.

It was only palm-sized, woven with metallic threads and embroidered with cloud patterns. There should be other patterns, but the cloth was too small to see what they were.

In the past, he had slain a young man capable of vaporizing, obtaining this piece of cloth. The other party had once used it to protect his body and almost escaped.

"If there’s no problem, then I’ll take it." Qin Ming and the Crimson Eagle rejoined.

The talking sparrow flew over from afar, saying, "Disaster, some of my bird brothers were forced, betrayed me; some younger siblings are tracking us in the opposite direction, controlled by Fangwai people’s techniques, they had no choice but to comply."

Qin Ming’s expression changed; these birds could serve as effective nodes of information, which was of great significance. Now they had been exploited by others.

"Into Black and White Mountain!" Qin Ming commanded.

He did not go to find Ling Xu or Li Huamao because he knew that direction was even more dangerous. From afar, he had already seen a towering red Sword Intent coming from the direction of Yinteng Town.

"Hug that mountain ridge and fly, head to the desert!" Qin Ming was like walking on a tightrope, treading along the red lines of dangerous areas.

Soon after, the Crimson Eagle soared into the night sky, using the mists of the night to conceal their tracks.

"Chuanyunhe is completely controlled, always following behind; we’re done for, this guy is an expert in tracking, we can’t escape," the talking sparrow panicked.

Behind them, a Chuanyunhe led the way, moving very fast.

Qin Ming drew his bow and with a ’pang’ noise, an arrow hit one of Chuanyunhe’s wings, exploding into a cloud of blood, feathers scattered, and it twisted and fell towards the ground below.

"Master Qin is indeed kind; even at this critical moment, he didn’t deal a fatal blow, leaving a life for my crane brother," the talking sparrow said.

Then it whispered, "A thousand miles to send the lord, there must be a parting. I also..."

"You’d better get going," Qin Ming waved.

"Then I... will hold on a bit longer!" the talking sparrow said, gritting its teeth.

A raptor with black plumage followed, perched upon its back was an elegant figure that seemed to be a woman.

Qin Ming once again drew his bow, and the arrow he released was terrifyingly powerful, dispersing the night fog as it headed straight for the raptor’s head.

Under the night sky, the woman’s fingers, clear and sparkling, tapped out a stream of light that astonishingly enveloped the mighty Iron Arrow.

"Outsiders!" Qin Ming’s pupils contracted slightly.

He urged the Crimson Eagle, saying, "Let’s put more effort into it, we’ll only have a chance in the desert, otherwise, we’re likely to die here."

"Hm? There’s another raptor in the distance, and the man standing on its back is resplendent in golden armor, a Golden Armor Guard?" Qin Ming knew that the night would be extremely challenging.

...

Outside Yinteng Town, Ling Xu and Li Huamao left in the distance, pursuing the outsiders trying to enter the mountains.

"It’s quite lively tonight." The feathered robed youth, Li Qingxu, appeared, holding a purple-glimmering bamboo stick, his white shoes untainted by dust, ethereal and otherworldly.

His arrival caught the attention of many Outer Disciples; many greeted him because they knew he truly had exceptional talent.

"Just now, Cui Chong’s substitute, that Qin Ming, appeared," Zeng Yuan informed him and then chuckled, "No such thing as a blessed encounter. He has stepped onto the crude new path by relying on his body’s mutation."

"It’s hard to imagine, he once walked alongside us, but now he can only carry a bloodstained Big Hammer, rushing through remote places."

"I reckon that with his current physical state, he’s still not qualified to be among the Golden Armor Guards."

Those gathered around Li Qingxu spoke up one after another.

...

This night was tremendously difficult for Qin Ming, with his pursuers drawing increasingly near.

The Crimson Eagle was very capable of flight, but unfortunately, the raptors behind them had undergone more mutations.

Qin Ming continuously shot arrows with his bow, effectively slowing the enemy’s pace, or they would have already caught up.

"My Iron Arrows can wear down her strength; this person can’t crush me!" Qin Ming made his judgment.

But the situation was very serious; this outsider was not low in rank, and there was even a mysterious and unpredictable Golden Armor Guard further away. From the looks of it, it was very dire!

"Why hasn’t there been a few more grand Spring Thunders in the past few days?" Qin Ming had never longed for that terrifying lightning as he did now.

Not every rain brought lightning that struck the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall; often, there would just be a few rumbles in the sky, and that would be it.

"If I escape this calamity, I’ll find someone to erect a tall iron rod in the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall, and I don’t believe I won’t be able to attract lightning!"

He knew that doing this to the Golden Hall wasn’t realistic; even Meng Xinghai would have to beat him up first.

Qin Ming was just craving power. If he could safely return to Chixia City this time, he would definitely practice the Miracle Technique given to him by Ning Siqi and the rare books soon to be delivered by Meng Xinghai, to quickly enhance his physique.

"The desert is here!" He showed a look of relief.

Ahead, pitch black as ink, like the abyss, ready to swallow everything.

The Crimson Eagle was afraid and dared not enter, for if it went slightly further, it would become blind, unable to see anything.

"It’s okay, quickly descend, we’ll stick close to the ground!" Qin Ming instructed.

Suddenly, the black raptor behind them erupted with dark light, accelerating and landing on the ground ahead of them; the woman leapt down, blocking the path.

Qin Ming stood in the middle of the desert, dropped his Big Hammer, set down his bow and arrow, and slowly drew the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade from his back, saying, "Not giving me a way out, huh?"

He knew the woman with the veiled face was terrifying, surpassing any opponent he had ever fought.

In an instant, Qin Ming accelerated, unleashing the strongest Heaven Cutting Blade Intent, like a rainy night descending, lightning flashing, thunder roaring, tearing the night sky, he swept forward the strongest blade light.

"Not even barely qualified to be selected as a Golden Armor Guard, you dare..."

The veiled woman waved her hand lightly, a golden light flew out, aiming to restrain the dark Iron Blade.

The next moment, Qin Ming’s black blade suddenly cracked, its coating peeling off, revealing a pristine white blade body shining brightly as if a great sun was burning, dispelling the night.

With a ’pfft’ sound, blood splattered across the desert!
