"Elder Gu, stick close to me," Shi Jingqiong suddenly transmitted her voice.
Gu Qing heard this and was stunned for a moment.
What, hadn't he made himself clear enough?
Could it be that Shi Jingqiong was really feeling amorous this spring and mistook him for a proper gentleman?
Seeing Gu Qing dazed, Shi Jingqiong found it inexplicably cute. Such a handsome and aloof young man suddenly showing this contrast made Shi Jingqiong harbor wicked thoughts.
If she were to hold Gu Qing in her arms and hear him obediently call her "sister," that would surely be interesting.
"What on earth am I thinking?" Shi Jingqiong shook her head, pushing the inappropriate images out of her mind.
Immediately, she flicked her long sleeve, sweeping up Gu Qing and Zhi Meng, and took a step into the Soul-Sea Star Domain.
"Wuwuwu!"
The moment they entered, ghostly wails and divine roars echoed in their minds, making them dizzy and powerless.
"Boom!"
Shi Jingqiong's Heavenly God Realm seventh-stage cultivation erupted as she extended her palm, gathering Ten Thousand Fire Divine Patterns to burn the heavens.
"Maintain your focus, this is the innate divine ability of the Heavenly Ghost Clan—Ghostly Demon Melody."
Without needing Shi Jingqiong's reminder, Gu Qing had already begun to cultivate to resist the ghostly wails piercing his ears.
Scanning their surroundings, they saw a gloomy and terrifying void filled with blood mist, floating limbs, and countless ghostly shadows.
Roughly estimating, at least half of the several thousand people who had entered just now had died.
The remaining small half were barely holding on, struggling desperately for their lives.
Only a few had managed to escape.
"How tragic." Gu Qing felt for the first time the danger and cruelty of searching for treasures.
His divine sense scanned the void, locking onto a ghostly shadow.
"Jijijiji!"
The ghostly shadow locked by Gu Qing's divine sense transformed from ethereal to solid, revealing a green face with fangs, emitting a strange laugh.
The voice contained a bizarre magical power that rushed straight for the soul, capable of arousing the deepest fears in one's heart, giving rise to heart demons.
Gu Qing finally understood why these Divine Flame Realm cultivators died so quickly.
The entire star domain hid countless Heavenly Ghost Clan members. Although their strength wasn't high, only at the Divine Flame Realm and Saint Realm.
But such a bizarre and widespread soul attack, once hit by it, one would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Presumably, those cultivators struggling desperately weren't surviving through their own abilities, but because this group of Heavenly Ghost Clan members didn't intend to kill them.
Instead, they treated these people as prey, torturing and killing them bit by bit.
"Little brother, if you're scared, then stick close to sister. Sister will definitely protect you," Shi Jingqiong said with a charming smile upon seeing Gu Qing's solemn expression.
From the first moment she saw Gu Qing, she was deeply attracted by his incomparable beauty and extraordinary temperament.
Previously, she had been restrained in the outside world, but now in the Heavenly Ghost Clan's territory, Shi Jingqiong's courage grew.
She dropped the act, no longer calling him Elder.
"Hehe."
Gu Qing chuckled lightly.
What made Shi Jingqiong mistakenly think he was weak?
It was time to give this stunning beauty a real shock.
Gu Qing's Heavenly God Realm Third Layer aura erupted, causing the void to rumble as ten thousand laws surrounded him, like a deity descending to the mortal realm.
He unleashed the Sun God Fist divine ability, like a scorching sun that could burn the heavens.
Before the fist print even arrived, the Heavenly Ghost Clan let out terrified screams as their forms evaporated like smoke.
The dozen or so Heavenly Ghosts who couldn't escape in time were instantly annihilated, both body and soul.
These evil creatures feared extremely yang things above all else. Although the Heavenly Ghost Clan was special and could shift between solid and ethereal forms, ordinary yang divine abilities couldn't harm them!
But Gu Qing used the world's most yang divine fire—the Sun God Fire. With his Heavenly God Realm cultivation, these Heavenly Ghost Clan members were as fragile as paper!
"Hiss~"
The beautiful young woman Shi Jingqiong stared at Gu Qing in shock with her beautiful eyes.
Her bright eyes reflected Gu Qing's figure, both divine and demonic, his spirit soaring, as majestic as a deity. The heart of this passionate young woman began to beat wildly.
She never imagined that in her eyes, Gu Qing, who had always been focused on alchemy and as serene as a chrysanthemum, could be so powerful.
Was this really an alchemy master?
Shi Jingqiong couldn't help but fall into deep doubt.
"Hmph!" Zhi Meng glanced disdainfully at Shi Jingqiong, her heart filled with contempt.
Shi Jingqiong was only worthy of warming her disciple's bed.
"Boom!"
Gu Qing continued to strike, creating a bright and clear world as the sunlight illuminated the gloomy void.
"Alchemist Gu, impressive techniques."
Long Jie appeared with a group of followers, a smile on his lips, but his eyes showed a hint of solemnity.
He knew Gu Qing had to be at the Heavenly God Realm.
Otherwise, he couldn't possibly have refined the Divine Origin Pill.
But he didn't expect Gu Qing's combat prowess to be so formidable. It wasn't much weaker than their own peerless geniuses who dedicated themselves to achieving invincibility within their realm.
And this Sun God Fist—how was it so similar to the Sun God Fist divine ability of the Star Emperor Sect?
Could Gu Qing be a disciple of the Star Emperor Sect?
"Decent."
Gu Qing replied, then walked with Zhi Meng through the void, shrinking the earth to an inch, heading toward the Time Essence.
He planned to find a secluded place to undergo his tribulation first, break through to the Divine Fire Realm, and then go treasure hunting.
"Shi Furen, would you like to join us?"
Long Jie withdrew his gaze and looked at Shi Jingqiong, his expression gentle like that of a refined scholar.
But only he knew how passionate his heart was.
Every time he saw Shi Jingqiong, with her voluptuous figure, gentle temperament, and mature charm, he found himself unable to resist.
Long Jie had been coveting this top-tier beautiful young woman for a very long time.
"No, I already have my plans. I won't disturb you, Seventh Prince."
Shi Jingqiong smiled and declined politely, then quickly left with her followers.
Long Jie's eyes gradually darkened as one after another refused him.
Could it be that he, Long Jue, was really so worthless?
He had to know, he was the son of an Immortal King, the seventh prince of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, with monstrous talent, undefeated among his peers.
Long Jue's status was noble, with boundless prospects.
It was one thing for Zhi Meng to reject him, after all, Gu Qing was an alchemy master with the makings of a grandmaster.
But why did Shi Jingqiong also reject him?
Could Shi Jingqiong's good-for-nothing husband even be compared to him?
"Hmph!"
Long Jue laughed in anger, feeling he had been angered to the point of foolishness, actually comparing himself to Shi Jingqiong's good-for-nothing husband.
Looking in the direction where Shi Jingqiong and Zhi Meng had disappeared, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
These two women were not only as beautiful as fairies, but could also help him strengthen his power, so Long Jue naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
"You two, follow them from a distance, but absolutely don't be discovered."
Although women were good, improving one's cultivation was the top priority.
The purpose of his trip was the Immortal Flower, and it wouldn't be too late to find the two women after he obtained it.
