Qin Xuan's gaze flickered.
This so-called Divine Stone was actually a Spirit Stone, and it was the lowest quality kind.
However, even the lowest quality Spirit Stone was more than enough to activate this statue and cart.
By this point, Qin Xuan was certain that this so-called guide cart was powered by Spirit Stones.
After moving forward for a while, the cart stopped, and the statue immediately pointed in another direction.
"Let's go, this way!"
Mu Jing and the others immediately changed direction and continued forward.
This, isn't this the direction we just came from?
Qin Xuan was stunned; the direction they were now heading was exactly where they had come from. Wouldn't that mean they were going back?
After taking a few steps, Qin Xuan immediately discovered something unusual.
The scene ahead was changing in an extremely slow manner.
Although this change was slow and imperceptible to ordinary people, it could not escape Qin Xuan's observation.
"There's probably a barrier here, but this barrier has long since integrated with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to distinguish."
Qin Xuan pondered as he followed behind the cart, trying to figure out how to leave this place.
Thus, Qin Xuan followed them, constantly changing directions for several hours, and finally, just before sunset, the group emerged.
The miasma dissipated, and the oppressive feeling also vanished.
"It seems to be getting better. This isn't Ghost Mountain, nor is it the Kun Peng Nest. We're finally safe, no need to be so on edge anymore."
Han Ye transmitted a message to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan exhaled and stretched his muscles slightly.
However, the people beside him clearly hadn't relaxed; their expressions were grim, and Qin Xuan soon understood why.
"Boom!"
Just then, a ball of flame descended from the sky!
Seeing this fireball, the people present immediately turned pale with fright, trembling all over, and wanted to turn and flee.
"Oh no, the Qingyang Bird is still here! This is trouble!"
"Damn it, we waited so long inside, how is this thing still here, and hasn't left yet?"
Qingyang Bird!
Qin Xuan looked up and immediately saw a large bird, three or four zhang in size, constantly circling above, spitting flames downwards.
"Is this really a Qingyang Bird? I'm afraid a Qingyang Bird can't spit flames, can it?"
There were many Qingyang Birds in the Azure Green Sect, but these birds didn't have such great attacking power.
"It must be a mutated Qingyang Bird, otherwise its power wouldn't be this strong!"
"Young Master, please..."
Mu Xuan came over and tugged on Qin Xuan's sleeve. Looking at the fireball in the sky, she was at a loss.
Having finally escaped from inside, Qin Xuan was certainly not an ungrateful person.
Therefore, at this moment, he merely waved his hand indifferently.
In an instant, a pillar of Spiritual Qi shot upwards. A moment later, the pillar of Spiritual Qi struck the fireball, directly sending it flying.
"Boom!"
The fireball created a large crater nearby, scaring everyone present pale.
Only then did they realize how powerful that attack had been.
"Thank you, Young Master. If it weren't for Young Master, we would have died here!"
Mu Jing's face was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Qin Xuan with immense gratitude.
"No worries, it's just a small matter!"
Qin Xuan waved his hand.
The Qingyang Bird in mid-air saw its attack directly sent flying by Qin Xuan, immediately flew into a rage, and continuously spat fireballs downwards.
"Evil beast, you seek death!"
Qin Xuan hadn't originally intended to kill the Qingyang Bird, but since the Qingyang Bird insisted on seeking death, Qin Xuan certainly wouldn't indulge it!
With a flick of his finger, a pillar of Spiritual Qi instantly pierced through the Qingyang Bird, killing it in mid-air!
"Boom!"
Looking at the Qingyang Bird that was instantly killed, everyone present was utterly shocked.
"This, Young Master... Immortal, you are truly amazing! This Qingyang Bird was so powerful, yet you instantly killed it!"
Mu Xuan looked at Qin Xuan with stars in her eyes.
She hadn't expected Qin Xuan to instantly kill the Qingyang Bird with just a raise of his hand.
They had been chased by the Qingyang Bird all this way just to survive!
They never expected such a powerful enemy couldn't even withstand a single move from Qin Xuan.
Not only Mu Xuan, but Mu Jing also stared at Qin Xuan with gratitude.
At this moment, in their eyes, Qin Xuan truly seemed like a deity.
"Young Master, please accept my bow. If it weren't for you, we truly would have died here!"
A moment later, the other few people all simultaneously prepared to kneel down.
"Get up. You brought me out, and saving you was something we had already agreed upon. You don't need to be too concerned."
Speaking of this, Qin Xuan paused slightly and looked at the others.
"Alright everyone, this is where we part ways. The green mountains remain, the green waters flow on, we shall meet again!"
Qin Xuan said, cupping his hands, and was about to leave.
"Young Master, wait a moment!"
Just then, Mu Xuan ran over and tugged on Qin Xuan's sleeve.
"Young Master, you've traveled so far alone, you must be very far from home. Why don't you come to our village today, and tomorrow when the sun rises, everyone can leave!"
Saying this, Mu Xuan looked at Qin Xuan expectantly.
"Xuan Xuan, don't be mischievous!"
Mu Jing said, about to pull Mu Xuan away.
Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned, then thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Alright, I happen to need a map of the vicinity and to understand the forces around here!"
The most urgent task was to determine his location here, and it would be even better if he could find a map of the nearby area.
With these, Qin Xuan could deduce the nearby forces.
As long as he found sufficiently powerful forces, Qin Xuan could borrow a teleportation array from them.
This was the East Region Southern. To return to the Great Gan, the required teleportation array would at least have to be a medium-sized array, which only relatively powerful forces could provide.
In fact, perhaps only the most powerful forces in this vicinity would have such long-distance teleportation arrays.
If he were to search for it himself, it would undoubtedly take a lot longer.
If he could get help from these local villagers, he might be able to find it more quickly.
Returning to Great Gan and participating in the Great Gan's Alchemist competition was the most crucial thing.
After all, only then could he qualify to go to the Dan Tower.
As the number one Holy Land of Dao of alchemy in the East Region, Qin Xuan naturally wouldn't miss it.
Agreeing to Mu Xuan was also out of this consideration.
Seeing that Qin Xuan had actually agreed to her request, Mu Xuan clapped her hands excitedly and directly jumped up.
Mu Jing had originally wanted to say something, but looking at Qin Xuan, he suddenly changed his mind.
Qin Xuan's performance just now was simply too powerful.
He instantly killed that powerful Qingyang Bird with just one move.
This absolute crushing power had given them too much shock.
Even the strongest warrior in the village was not qualified to compete with Qin Xuan!
Now that they could establish a connection with such a strong person, it could only benefit them.
Moreover, Qin Xuan was a man of his word and didn't abandon them after leaving, which showed that he was not a bad person. Given this, what reason did they have not to befriend Qin Xuan?
