Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Escape

“Is this the village where that kid named Lu Qing lives in seclusion?”

“This place is so ordinary, yet it has given birth to such a peerless genius. The destiny of heaven is truly mysterious and unfathomable.”

The figure with disheveled hair looked at the quiet mountain village ahead, a curious look in his eyes.

He had spent the past few days expending considerable effort to locate Lu Qing’s location, and then he immediately rushed over without stopping.

However, he seemed to have no sense of any powerful aura in the village.

“Did he go out?” the figure with disheveled hair muttered to himself.

He was in no rush to enter the village. Rumor has it that Lu Qing’s master was a mysterious Xiantian realm cultivator who had once defeated Wang Cangyi of the Tiancang Sect with a single move.

His true level of strength was unknown. With his current strength, he would struggle even against a Xiantian beginner, let alone one at a higher level. There was no need to confront them.

The figure with disheveled hair immediately decided to lurk outside the village and wait for a few days to see if he could find an opportunity.

Anyway, with his abilities, if he really wanted to hide his presence, even those at the Xiantian realm would have difficulty detecting him.

Just as the disheveled figure was about to hide on the hillside outside the village and wait for the opportunity,

he suddenly heard a few words of conversation and paused.

“Aunt Ming, where do you think Ah Qing and the old doctor and the others are now? Have they left our Cangzhou?”

“How could they be so fast? Our Cangzhou is not small. The carriage Ah Qing and the others are riding in doesn’t look like it can run very fast. It’s only been two or three days, so it shouldn’t be able to leave Cangzhou so quickly.”

“Ah Qing and the others are going to Zhongzhou. I don’t know how far Zhongzhou is or how long it will take to get there.”

“I don’t know about that. I’ve never been out of Cangzhou in my life, and I’ve only been to the county town a few times. But I heard from the old people in the village that Zhongzhou is very far away. Ah Qing and the others set out this time, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to come back for at least a year or two.”

“It’s so far, I don’t know if Xiaoyan will cry on the road. Being away from home is not an easy thing. Why do the old doctor and the others have to go so far to Zhongzhou?”

“The old doctor and Ah Qing are all great warriors. How can we understand the affairs of such important people as them? Didn’t you see that even the young master of the Wei family followed Ah Qing? It must be something very important.”

The figure with disheveled hair turned around and saw two village women carrying bamboo baskets and chatting as they walked out of the village.

Thinking of the conversation between the two people just now, he was moved and the expression on his face immediately changed. His body hunched over, and with his shabby clothes, he looked quite pitiful.

“Two aunties, the old man has something to ask you.”

The figure with disheveled hair stepped forward and stopped the two village women, saying a little weakly.

“Old man, what’s the matter?”

The two village women stopped when they saw that it was an old man blocking the way.

“I heard there’s a miracle doctor here, a kindhearted man who can cure all diseases, so I’ve traveled for several days to come here to seek his help. I wonder where he lives?” The

figure with disheveled hair spoke weakly, his clothes looking sick.

“Old man, are you here to see Doctor Chen?”

One of the village women was a little surprised when she heard this. “You’re a little late. Doctor Chen is not home. He and his apprentice went on a long journey two days ago.”

“How could this be?” The figure with disheveled hair showed disappointment on his face. “I wonder where the old miracle doctor went on such a long journey and when he will be back. Can I wait here for him?”

“That’s probably difficult. Doctor Chen and his friends went to Zhongzhou, which is said to be quite far away. I’m afraid they won’t be back for at least a year or two.”

The village woman looked at him pitifully. She could tell that the old man was not in good health.

“Is that so? That’s a shame indeed.”

The disheveled figure, a look of regret on his face, turned shakily, as if about to leave, but a sinister glint flickered in his eyes.

“Wait a moment, old man,”

a peasant woman called out to him.

She then pulled two rice balls from a bamboo basket and handed them to him, “You’ve come a long way, and I’m afraid you haven’t eaten yet. Here are two rice balls for my husband working in the fields. Take them with you on your journey.”

Another peasant woman also pulled two vegetable dumplings from her basket, “I have some food here too. If you don’t mind, old man, take them.”

Seeing the disheveled figure seemed stunned, the two women pressed the food into his hands without further ado.

“Old man, we still have farm work to do. You’re old,

so be careful on your way back.” With these words of advice, the two women hurried off towards the fields outside the village.

The disheveled figure remained motionless, simply watching them leave.

He didn’t look away until the two figures disappeared outside the village.

He looked at the rice balls and vegetable balls in his hands and threw them into the ditch beside him.

Naturally, he disdained to eat such cheap food.

“Just consider it as the money to buy your lives. After all, the lives of you insects are as cheap as these rice balls.”

The figure with disheveled hair chuckled and turned away.

According to his character, anyone who had seen his whereabouts must be killed.

But after all, they were just two village women and posed no threat to him, so it was okay to let them go.

Moreover, he also vaguely felt that in the villa not far away, there seemed to be a very powerful aura sitting in it. If he acted rashly, it might alert it. He still had to chase Lu Qing, so it was not appropriate to cause trouble at this time.

“Is that the Wei family’s Xiantian realm cultivator? He’s quite capable, and only half a step away from the Xiantian Minor Success stage.”

“But, traveling so far at this hour? Is it a coincidence, or is it some mysterious destiny protecting you?”

A glint flickered in the eyes of the disheveled figure.

“As expected of a child of destiny, you possess it when danger strikes, allowing you to avert disaster.”

“The more this is the case, the more it demonstrates your extraordinary abilities.”

“If I can devour you, my very essence will undergo an unprecedented transformation.”

“Lu Qing, wait! You can’t escape my grasp. You’re destined to become my nourishment. Even the destiny of heaven and earth can’t protect you forever. Once you’re in my belly, even your destiny will be mine…”

With a sneer, the disheveled figure gradually disappeared outside Jiuli Village.

At the village entrance, only a few rice dumplings lay quietly in the ditch.

No one knew what a terrifying demon had just come through.

Even less did the villagers know that they had, without even realizing it, escaped a disaster.
