Bang――gurgle gurgle――
Bai Zhi's head fell to the ground and rolled like a ball for a few rounds before coming to a stop. This scene stunned the onlookers, including the cultivators and the common people. After a moment of silence, the street erupted into a commotion.
"Oh my god! Young Master Bai has been killed!"
"This is a big deal now!"
"Who is that young man up there?"
"He deserved it. This kid was too arrogant, I couldn't stand him for a long time!"
Listening to the discussions below, Qin Jun remained indifferent.
At this moment, the cat person jumped back to his side, rubbing against his thigh affectionately, resembling a domestic cat from his previous life.
"What's your name?" Qin Jun asked, lifting the messy hair on its face. He found that this little guy looked quite delicate. If it weren't for its claws, cat ears, and tail, it would be almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
The little cat person whimpered, and the old man, Yi, timely translated, "Its name is Xiao Jiu."
Qin Jun couldn't help but look at him and ask, "How can you understand it?"
"Hmph, although the cat people have declined in my time, they are still a force that cannot be ignored," Yi sneered.
"By the way, how long have you lived?" Qin Jun blinked and asked. This old guy in front of him was an existence longer-lived than the history of China.
Yi put down the chicken bone in his hand and said, "I'm not sure how long I've been imprisoned. According to that brat Nangong Liethian, I've been imprisoned for ten thousand years. So, I'm at least fifteen thousand years old now."
Even though Qin Jun was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, there were no other guests on the second floor of the inn. Xiao Jiu had killed Bai Zhi, which was a big deal, and no one wanted to get involved.
The innkeeper and the waiters also didn't dare to go upstairs, fearing being mistakenly killed.
"It looks like we need to leave," Qin Jun shrugged and said with a smile, then turned to Xiao Jiu and asked, "Where is your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu quickly jumped onto the windowsill and kept shaking its head, indicating for Qin Jun and the others to follow it.
Qin Jun and the others exchanged glances, then got up to follow it, and Yi wiped the oil off his face and followed suit.
Their speed was fast. They leaped on the top of the building and quickly disappeared into the night.
When the Bai family's people arrived, it was already too late.
"Who killed my son!"
The head of the Bai family roared in anger, but no one responded to him on the street. Most people didn't want to get involved.
Bai Zhi was known for being a playboy, otherwise, he wouldn't have shown off by bringing a cat person. A wild and untamed transcendent beast at the mortal realm was extremely dangerous.
...
On the other side, Qin Jun and the others followed Xiao Jiu over the city wall. Even if they were discovered by the guards, they couldn't stop them.
"I wanted to rest for a night, but now we have to hurry again," Qin Jun sighed as he sat on the cloud mist conjured by Lei Zhenzi. With Xiao Jiu leading the way, he was happy to be at leisure.
The night was like water, and the occasional roar of beasts in the mountains and forests added a touch of horror to the night.
"The cat people are very strong. It's worth the hard work for a night," Yi said, picking his teeth with a wooden stick, his smile looking lewd no matter how you looked at it.
Hearing Yi's praise for the cat people, Qin Jun began to look forward to it.
Xiao Jiu's speed was very fast, like a shadow in the forest, making it difficult to catch. Fortunately, Qin Jun and the others could rely on their divine sense to track it. Unconsciously, they had already entered the Langya Mountains.
The Langya Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, and it was rich in resources. It harbored many powerful races, and there were even formidable sixth and seventh rank monstrous beasts.
A sixth-rank monstrous beast was equivalent to a Earth Immortal realm cultivator, and a seventh rank was a Heaven Immortal realm cultivator. It was said that there had been eighth-rank monstrous beasts in the Langya Mountains, but it was only a legend.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. As they delved deeper into the Langya Mountains, Qin Jun could feel more and more powerful auras, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The night in the mountains was a time for the beasts to revel and for the cultivators to tremble.
An hour quickly passed, and it was already late at night.
Under Xiao Jiu's guidance, Qin Jun and the others arrived at a valley. Under the cover of night, the valley was surrounded by four high mountains, and at the top, there was a green light barrier, sealing off the valley.
In front of the valley, there was a small river, which was now burning with fire. Upon closer inspection, one could see thousands of cultivators meditating or chatting softly. Not only at the mouth of the valley, but also at the top and edges of the four peaks, there were cultivators on guard, making it impossible to find an escape route.
Xiao Jiu seemed to be emboldened by Qin Jun's protection, and it boldly rushed into the sight of the cultivators, heading straight for the entrance of the valley.
"Something's wrong!"
The cultivators jumped up instantly, each taking out their own magical tools. When they saw it was a cat person, they subconsciously prepared to take action.
Boom――
A dark thunder illuminated the night sky, accompanied by a deafening sound, startling the cultivators, who quickly retreated. At the same time, Xiao Jiu successfully rushed into the entrance of the valley.
Lei Zhenzi's technique of controlling clouds and mist was incredibly fast, and he quickly led Qin Jun and the others into the valley, preventing the cultivators from seeing their true faces.
"What was that thing that just went in?"
"I don't know. That thunder almost blinded me."
"Could that cat person have come to report something?"
"Hmph, what's there to fear? The cat people are already trapped, and we can't let dozens of cat people in the valley go!"
The cultivators discussed among themselves and then returned to their original positions to rest. The formation in the valley prevented them from breaking in, so they could only wait outside.
In the valley, there were dozens of cat people resting and recuperating, most of them were young cat people. Among them, a cat woman stood out. She had silver hair cascading over her shoulders, and she was dressed in a perfectly fitting animal skin outfit that accentuated her curves. Her arms and legs were snow-white, and her tail swayed as her two cat ears trembled slightly. Even from behind, she captivated the attention of most men.
Not long after Xiao Jiu ran in, the silver-haired cat woman turned to look, her exquisitely beautiful face showing a hint of panic. She did not seem pleased by Xiao Jiu's arrival.
"Oh no! Someone has broken into the formation!" she exclaimed, prompting the other adult cat people to quickly pick up their weapons.
The valley's formation allowed cat people to come and go freely, but not cultivators. Xiao Jiu had not considered this, so Lei Zhenzi had barged in directly.
Qin Jun and the others quickly landed, causing the cat people to become extremely nervous. Qin Jun's gaze was instantly drawn to the silver-haired cat woman, his eyes widening.
So cute and beautiful...
Qin Jun stared blankly at the silver-haired cat woman. At this moment, Xiao Jiu came to her and called out, presumably explaining the origins of Qin Jun and the others.
Soon, the cat people relaxed, and the silver-haired cat woman walked towards Qin Jun and the others.
"Hello, my name is Wang Xue, I am the daughter of the chief of the cat people. Thank you for saving my brother," the silver-haired cat woman introduced herself, her exquisitely beautiful face causing Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong to be momentarily dazed, while Qin Jun noticed a hint of wariness in her eyes.
