Chapter 63: No Need to Thank Me

  The man in the lead raised an eyebrow, but didn't say a word, and just quietly waited. A piece of information emerged from the jade slip and entered Shen Cong's mind, which was Wang Shilang's order, requiring several disciples to go forward to check, what was the reason for the shock.

  Among the jade pieces, it is natural that no one will be named or asked to go, but those who execute the command are these few. They have the right to bring others with them, and others cannot refuse. Like Shen Cong's vanguard identity, it is even more impossible to refuse, otherwise it would be disobeying orders.

  "When are we leaving?" Shen Cong tossed the jade piece back, and the leader caught it with his bare hands, but his palm was shaken, and his face looked unnatural, as if he had suffered some internal injury.

  "It's an emergency, let's go at once! Don't delay, act quickly!" The person beside him shouted, his attitude not exactly friendly.

  "Why such a hurry? You must eat something before you go." Li Yan said with furrowed eyebrows.

  "There's no time for another meal, and it's just one meal, won't starve to death."

  Shen Cong smiled and stopped Li Yan from continuing, "I'm not hungry either, please go ahead, everyone."

  Those few people snorted, wanting to find something else to do, but had nowhere to vent their anger, and could only turn around and leave. Shen Cong glanced at the few people, "I'll be back soon, save me some food."

  "You'd better be careful." Huang Wei and others warned, the danger of the shock was secondary, they were more afraid of their own people.

  "Hurry up, slowpoke! You're slower than a woman!" Those people shouted again.

  Shen Cong glanced at those people and looked at Huang Wei and others, saying: "You guys be careful, that vibration is probably not ordinary, maybe something's up." It was just a hunch, so Shen Cong couldn't say anything else, he could only let his companions be more careful.

  Followed the footsteps of those few people out of the camp, just to explore, so there were not many people. Basically, they were the same people as before, and one person was randomly caught up with them, following Shen from behind at this moment. The cultivation is very weak, only in the middle of the second stage of combined force, and it's unknown how he participated in this task.

  "You two go ahead."

  "Why is it just the two of us?" Zhu Hong was dissatisfied, "This wilderness and mountain ridge, walking in front is the most dangerous. Since we both came out to scout, we should advance and retreat together."

  "You dare to speak out of turn before leaving, are you looking for death!" Xu Li was furious and slapped him. Zhu Hong was stunned, but didn't expect Xu Li to hit him as soon as he said it. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. His cultivation was already inferior, and he hesitated for a moment, his cheek had already been stimulated by the palm wind, making it feel scorching hot. This slap would likely knock out a few teeth.

  "Why resort to violence when you can talk things out?"

  Shen Congyi smiled, grabbed Zhu Hong's shoulder and took a step back, just avoiding Xu Li's slap. The air from the palm made a loud slapping sound, and it was clear how much force was behind it.

  "You dare to hit someone, you..." Zhu Hong's face turned slightly pale as he stared at Xu Li, but he was both angry and anxious. However, apart from being speechless, Zhu Hong couldn't do anything else.

  Xu Li sneered, turning his head to look at Shen Cong, "You're quite good at meddling in other people's business. Are you looking for a fight with me? I'm itching for one too, and it just so happens that now is the perfect time." Xu Li said this with a stern expression on his face.

  Shen shook his head, "Elder brother is joking, we came out to investigate the cause of the shock, not to engage in a duel, don't delay the main task!"

  "You also know what's right, so why haven't you gone ahead yet? Are you waiting for the five of us to invite you?" The leader, Zhou Hao, looked down at Shen Cong with a hint of cold smile on his lips.

  "What's the basis for..."

  Zhu Hong wanted to explain, but Shen Cong patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his words. "We'll go ahead, no need for Brother Zhu to ask." Shen Cong said, pulling Zhu Hong along as they walked in front. Zhu Hong's face was full of incomprehension and resentment, looking at Shen Cong helplessly, with a mediocre strength but still stubbornly insisting on being right, not that he wasn't correct, it's just that this wasn't the right occasion.

  "This kid knows his place!" Xu Li coldly snorted, the five of them walking behind while Shen Cong and the other two walked ahead.

  There are many ferocious beasts in the forest, although their levels are not high, but people also do not want to come into contact with them, lest they cause more trouble, and directly avoid them. The source of the shock is estimated to be dozens of miles away, at the speed of the crowd, without carrying anything else, it will take two or three hours to come and go.

  Zhu Hong's face was not satisfied, but he also knew the current situation and didn't dare to make a move. He just kept talking, "Why is this so? Among fellow disciples, shouldn't we be friendly and loving? How can you bully us like this? I'll definitely report it to Master Wang later and have several people punished!"

  Shen Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly, but didn't say much. After all, he couldn't say that this trip was going to be difficult to return from. To put it bluntly, Zhu Hong should have been dragged into this by himself, while Zhou Hao and the others had their sights set on Shen Cong. A first-stage three-tier, three mid-stage three-tiers, and a peak three-tier - such power could even rival an early fourth-stage condensed origin, yet they looked down on Shen Cong.

  The corpse burst out, and Shen Cong could barely fight against the condensed origin of the fourth stage, but in the end, it was likely that Shen Cong would fail. And now facing so many people, even if Shen Cong was in his strongest state, he would still be helpless. Moreover, if he were to use the corpse's body, he would have to kill everyone, but there were five of them on the other side, and it wouldn't be that easy!

  Xu Li and several others hung back in the distance, coldly watching Shen Cong, "When will we make our move? At this moment, we are already extremely far from that camp, but it won't be discovered by anyone."

  "No rush, the source of the shock has not been found yet. The two in front are truly in danger and can block it for us. If it's finally confirmed that nothing is wrong, wouldn't it be better to kill them afterwards? It's always best to make full use of waste materials." Zhou Hao chuckled softly.

  Dozens of miles flashed by, but the speed of the crowd was slowing down. When it comes to one's own life, no one will joke around. Moreover, having arrived at this place, the spiritual energy reaction ahead also alerted everyone, and that shock was not accidental.

  "Don't just stand there, hurry up and take a look!" Xu Li shouted.

  "We're going up, what are you waiting for!" Zhu Hong said discontentedly, having been scolded all the way, he had already had enough of it.

  "You two scout ahead, we'll cover the rear and prevent the enemy from attacking you from behind." Zhou Hao suddenly said with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

  "Did you hear that? If you did, then hurry up and go!" The other three shouted loudly, their faces full of scornful smiles. They were just waiting for Shen Cong and the others to resist, so they could use it as an excuse to beat them up and relieve their itch for a fight.

  Zhu Hongqi's fingers trembled, but Shen Cong's face was expressionless, staring intently ahead. Perhaps due to the Dark Night Life Spring energy within him, Shen Cong was somewhat sensitive to the spiritual fluctuations. Ahead, amidst the fluctuations, a hint of evil energy seeped through. Having never encountered it before, Shen Cong had no idea what it was.

  No palpitations, but a strange aura emanates from it, and a faint feeling is drawing Shen Cong over, making him want to go take a look from the bottom of his heart.

  "Hurry up and go, or do you want me to take action myself!" Zhou Hao shouted loudly, his tone already turning cold, even Zhu Hong felt it and his face turned pale.

  Shen Cong glanced at Zhou Hao and others, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Zhu Hong, "Follow me later, don't get too far away." Shen Cong said, his figure had already quietly moved forward.

  "It's better to know one's limits!" Xu Li sneered, thinking that Shen Cong had been scared away. The others exchanged a smile and collectively retreated backward, not caring what was in front of them, they always had time to retreat.

  Shen leaned in close, and that faint, almost imperceptible call seemed to become clear. Jumping onto a branch, the scene ahead suddenly opened up. A few figures were busy at work, with a woman sitting upright on high ground, looking down below. Her tight-fitting clothes perfectly showcased her figure, and even from afar, she had a breathtaking beauty that left one's heart racing. Shen couldn't help but think that in this world, there was still a woman who dared to wear such a seductive outfit - truly impressive.

  Zhu Hong also learned from Shen Cong's example and jumped onto a branch, his lightness skill was not bad, but as soon as he looked ahead clearly, Zhu Hong was stunned, the branch had been snapped off, making a dull sound.

  "Not good!"

  Shen Cong was shocked and grabbed Zhu Hong to flee towards the back. Although the woman was far away, Shen Cong could see her cultivation with one glance, which was above the middle of the fourth stage of Condensing Yuan, and it was even possible that she was at the peak. At present, Shen Cong's strength was not enough to compete with such a powerful expert, so escaping for his life was the priority.

  "A few small bugs came, why are you in such a hurry to leave." A soft and charming voice sounded beside his ear, Lyu Ying didn't know when he had appeared in front of Shen Cong, blocking the way.

  Zhu Hong gazed at Lü Ying with a dazed expression, unaware that danger was already approaching. Shen Cong didn't know how Zhu Hong had managed to survive until now. Perhaps it was because of his personality that he could only survive within the sect and not in the outside world.

  "It's not enough with just two, how can it be so few!" Wei Ba walked over with large strides, casting a sideways glance at Shen Cong and the other person, appearing completely unconcerned. At the Fourth Stage of Condensing Yuan, he didn't need to worry about two people who were only at the Second Stage, as they could be taken care of with just a few punches.

  Lü Ying glanced at Shen Cong, then looked at Zhu Hong, and put her finger to her lips, licking it lightly. "I want to know some things, can you two tell me?"

  This attitude is actually an enticement, Shen Cong's eyes suddenly became dizzy, the surroundings seemed to be swaying, and his consciousness became blurred. Shen Cong's gaze condensed, the Stunning Skill circulated in his body, the knife intent directly dispelled the illusion, and clarity appeared in his eyes. Shen Cong pretended to lower his head, deceiving the two people in front of him.

  "I am a disciple of the Luoshui Sect, and I have come to investigate the cause of the vibration under that order." Zhu Hong's hands were clasped together in front of him, as if embracing someone, his face flushed with embarrassment, completely immersed in his fantasy.

  "It seems that what we did earlier had some effect. If we increase the shockwave, it will inevitably attract those five high-ranking experts. As long as we can trap them, our matter will be settled!" Wei Ba burst out laughing loudly, looking excited.

  Lü Ying's face also showed a smile as he looked at Zhu Hong, "May I ask, what information is there about that fifth-stage expert?"

  "Wang Shi Lin, we are fellow disciples, and our cultivation is in the middle of the fifth stage of opening up the meridians. I heard that you were injured last year, otherwise you could have broken through to the sixth stage of becoming a master, be careful." Zhu Hong's face showed concern, while Shen Cong looked at him with surprise, this illusion was really formidable.

  Lü Ying smiled lightly and asked a few more questions, extracting all the information from the team. However, it was completely identical to what she had understood before, and just now she was just confirming again.

  "It's already been decided, so let's just kill these two and be done with it. Leaving them alive would only cause trouble." Wei Ba sneered.

  "No need to rush, put it in that formation, when there are enough people, we can still activate the Blood Formation and deal with Wang Shilin with more confidence." Lü Ying shook his head.

  "I have something important to say." Shen Cong, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

  Zhou Hao and several others were desperately fleeing, but when the aura of the Four-Stage Condensed Yuan Peak appeared, they were frightened silly. They took advantage of not being discovered to hurry away in escape, fearing being caught. Although there were many people, everything was futile in the face of powerful strength.

  "After running for so long, I think those people won't find us." There was no one chasing behind, and the five of them let out a sigh of relief.

  "It's good that Shen and the others took the lead, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape. We should thank them!" The few people couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on their faces.

  "We can't be careless, a fourth-order condensed yuan peak expert, we can't stop him, if two come, we will definitely die, let's run again!" Zhou Hao said with a smile and caution.

  "Why run so tiredly? Wouldn't it be better to take a rest?"

  "How can you rest? I..." Zhou Hao was about to scold, but suddenly felt something was off. The voice just now was a woman's. They were all men, where would there be a woman here?

  At this thought, Zhou Hao broke out in a cold sweat and looked forward to see that an enchanting woman was standing ahead of them at some unknown time, smiling slyly at them.

  "How did you find us!" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.

  "A person named Shen Cong informed you and said you don't need to thank him, he has already understood in his heart."
