Chapter 62: Destination, Phoenix Lake!

  Qin Li raised his head, looking at Fang Haonan with a puzzled expression. Although he could hear the conversation between the two, out of politeness, he hadn't listened in. However, seeing Fang Haonan's excited appearance, he was also curious and said: "I'll be interested too? If it's convenient, Brother Fang can tell me!"

  "Hey, convenient, nothing inconvenient, there's news that the water level of Phoenix Lake suddenly dropped by more than half for some reason, and a huge ancient ruin emerged from the water. This has alarmed the Emperor himself, who has dispatched 17 Heaven-level warriors, 50 Earth-level warriors, and 200 high-ranking Xuan-level cultivators to rush here. Who would have thought that the old emperor's nose is so keen? If it weren't for internal news transmitted back from the Imperial Capital, our local lord wouldn't even be aware of this. Alas, what a failure!"

  Qin Li was shocked and said: "Actually sent so many strong people..."

  Fang Haonan glanced at Qin Li, shook his head and said, "Not many!" Then he looked around suspiciously, released the yuan force, and after not feeling any other abnormalities, he whispered: "If I were the emperor, I would rather send out more elite troops! Do you know that your cultivation of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Unmatched Battle Technique is from that flow? The formula for the Tianxuan Dan is probably also in there. If we get that dan formula, with the power of the whole country, what kind of medicine can't be found? No need to say more, create a team of 5,000 people, all reaching the heavenly level, and who on the continent would be an enemy?"

  Actually, Fang Dashi is only in his early twenties, and in Qin Li's eyes, he is just an immature little kid. Young people, occasionally showing off a bit of foolishness, is nothing out of the ordinary.

  But this matter can cause such a big commotion, and Qin Li is also somewhat moved. His understanding of this world is still too little after all, and the best way to increase his strength, apart from fighting, is adventure!

  Thinking of this, Qin Li had already made up his mind and refused Fang Haonan's invitation to follow the Fang family team. Qin Li returned home.

  The next morning, Qin Li hurried to the Hunter's Guild. Unfortunately, he didn't meet Ah Hu and his group there. The sloppy old man who sold him the skill was also nowhere to be found.

  Qin Li casually asked around and found that the old man had not appeared for over a decade. Qin Li's heart slightly stirred, connecting it to the royal family's actions. In Qin Li's mind, a vague outline gradually formed: could this divine-level combat technique have been in the royal family's hands all along?

  As he practiced the peerless martial skill, Qin Li increasingly felt that what he was practicing wasn't the complete version! There should be something else on the real secret manual!

  Because Qin Li has already practiced all of the above to a very high level, there is a feeling that his unique martial art skills are unmatched, and there must be a second layer... or even higher!

  How to break through this first layer, Qin Li had no way, secretly leaving the city to find a deserted place to try several times. Qin Li believed that even if Qin Thirteen, such a warrior, fought him again, he would not need any conspiracy or tricks, and Qin Li could cut him down with his sword!

  But now Qin Li is just a Xuan-level warrior!

  All confidence comes from the mighty technique of "Unparalleled Dominance", with its unique moveset and energy flow, which is fundamentally different from any other martial art in this world.

  Qin Li originally wanted to ask that old man, but unexpectedly he had disappeared.

  But this time at Fenghu Lake, I suppose many things will be clarified?

  Qin Li thought to himself, bought a map to Phoenix Lake at the Hunter's Guild, and casually purchased some necessary items for adventure. Qin Li alone, quietly left Huangsha City, heading in the direction of Phoenix Lake.

  As soon as he left the city, Qin Li felt that there were several people sneaking behind him. A cold smile spread across his mouth, and Qin Li's body suddenly moved. The originally somewhat thin figure instantly transformed into a residual shadow, throwing itself into the forest.

  The proverb says "don't chase into the forest". It means that if the other party enters the woods, don't lightly pursue them, because it's very likely you'll fall into their trap and suffer a great loss!

  However, those warriors who were tracking Qin Li apparently did not have this awareness. They watched as the little waste that was about to be captured suddenly discovered them as soon as they left the city. Suddenly panicked, they didn't care that it was broad daylight and one by one frantically chased after Qin Li.

  The yellow sand city, due to the climate, snow can't be stored, so although it's still winter, the snow on the ground has already melted. Qin Li's speed was too fast, and in a moment of carelessness, he let Qin Li drill into the dense thicket, disappearing from sight.

  Behind them, about five or six people chased into the forest, but after half a day, they still couldn't find any sign of Qin Li. They gathered together again, all with sulky expressions on their faces.

  One of the middle-aged men with a scarred face, his eyes cold and menacing, stood up and cursed: "This little bastard, actually ran away like a mudskipper, that divine-level battle skill, is it really that powerful?"

  "Nonsense! If it weren't for the master's great power, how could he have sent out so many people to search this time? Originally wanted to find that little thing and see what reason it was, but he didn't even reincarnate. Conveniently, he could also frame the Qin family. Damn it!" A young man in a green shirt with an arrogant face also looked indignant.

  "Alright, let's not say too much. We're not assassins, and even if we lose him, it's not like we'll be humiliated. He's not going to disappear forever. It's just a pity that if his mother hadn't left, we could have caught her directly and he wouldn't dare lie to us. For now, let's go back and wait for the master to send those people over."

  A group of people left with a fuss, and the forest returned to its tranquility, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. A moment later, the group that had just left suddenly rushed back from all directions at an extremely fast speed, then looked at each other in dismay.

  "It's really not here!"

  "Good grief, he ran fast!"

  "Alright, alright, let's head back to the city and have a drink. Don't mention it, but the women in Huangsha City are actually quite good, especially their voices when they're called... hmm..."

  “……”

  After a long time, under a pile of withered branches and leaves that had accumulated for many years, something moved slightly. Then, a figure emerged from inside, brushing off the leaves and mud on his body, muttering to himself: "I thought it was someone sent by Qin Feng or Mo Jia's little demon girl, but unexpectedly it's actually the imperial family... My small-time reputation is still quite impressive!"

  Qin Li muttered to himself, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. The place where those people were standing was only a dozen or so meters away from him! If it weren't for the fact that the innate purple energy and yuan force within his body had very different properties and wouldn't emit any fluctuations, he would have probably been discovered by now.

  Moreover, if Qin Li's patience was slightly worse, he would definitely be killed by that group of people!

  "He also said that he was not a killer, and killers were just like you!" Qin Li sighed and shook his head. Among the few people who had just gathered here, at least two of them were martial artists above the ground level, and the rest were all high-ranking Xuan-level cultivators. This point, when they first gathered here, Qin Li had already sensed it. It was also because of these few people that Qin Li discovered another benefit of the innate purple energy. Not only could it block others' probing, but it could also sense the fluctuations of the opponent's yuan force!

  Among them, three people's yuan force fluctuations were slightly stronger than Qin Feng and Qin Hu, and two others, especially when they were concentrated and on guard, the fluctuations were even several times that of those few Xuan-level warriors.

  It was a fact that Qin Li had not dared to show his head, dealing with one Earth-level cultivator, he was confident, but two Earth-level cultivators, plus several Mystic-level cultivators, and he didn't have any assurance.

  However, his tolerance was not in vain. At least he knew that he had already caught the attention of some people. He thought to himself: It's just right for me to disappear for a while now. Everyone will probably think that I've gone into hiding to cultivate myself!

  At the thought of this, a smile spread across Qin Li's face, and he walked towards the depths of the forest. The next day, Qin Li had transformed into a handsome young man in his early twenties with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes!

  Yi Rong, although not the old Taoist's strong suit, but in that Taoist temple, years of inheritance would always have some hidden treasures. Coincidentally, Qin Li had been fond of learning various knowledge since childhood...

  Qin Li dared to travel alone because most people of status in Huangsha City knew about the matter, and various families sent out large teams, ostensibly to cooperate with the country and the Emperor to search for treasure, but in reality, everyone understood that there was a mix of public and private motives.

  In this case, a large number of warriors rushed into the jungle towards Fenghuang Lake. In front of Qin Li, there were actually many people, so he was absolutely not the only one who stood out.

  Qin Li's purpose was simple, just to broaden his horizons and take advantage of opportunities. If he couldn't gain an advantage, he wouldn't be discouraged either.

  Because being alive is what matters most.

  Qin Li thought to himself, ahead, suddenly a fight broke out, a very clear and crisp girl's voice, was constantly cheering loudly, the voice full of excitement.

  Qin Li's face was a bit strange, and he thought to himself that it was really true that the evil spirits wouldn't disperse, and they would run into them wherever they went.
