The Ling Family bodyguards escorted the Heavenly Masters and the Adventure Supernatural Team members down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan retraced their steps, heading towards the undeveloped area of Qi Mountain.
They hadn't been walking long, no more than fifteen minutes, when Qin Ruan's shoes, caked with red mud, came to a stop.
Standing in the dense jungle, she pointed to a huge ancient tree not far to the left, so large that five or six adults could not hug it, and said to Ling Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, go stand over there. No matter what you see, don't move and don't make a sound. Can you do that?"
"Hmm——"
Ling Xiaoxuan simply replied, obediently walking over to stand beneath the ancient tree.
Hardly had she steadied herself when something seemed to happen over by Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan's slender hands moved in rapid flutters, forming beautiful hand signs, and her clear voice echoed with a deep, chilling undertone.
