All of a sudden, Gu Zhanlin bellowed, cutting off Su Jingxing
With that, he leaped into the air and dashed swiftly towards the cliff on the
right.
He was very fast. He covereda distance of several hundred meters ina breath’s
time. With another flash, he covered another few hundred meters and
disappeared from the top of the cliff.
The crowd took a long time to return to their senses.
‘What’s going on?”
“Didn’t Commander Gu already shout? There was someone on the mountain
over there!”
“Tss! To think there’s a third party here!”
“The most frustrating thing is that we didn’t sense anything when he was
hiding at the top of the mountain!”
Xiong Qifan, Li Chunzhen, and Yu Qi analyzed and complained, their
expressions ugly.
Su Jingxing listened in silence.
He didn’t sense anyone on the mountaintop at the first moment either.
This meant that either the other party had excellent concealment techniques
and wasn’t staring at him,
or he had only arrived in the valley for a short while and had only come to take
a look because he heard the commotion caused by the shattering of the seal.
Su Jingxing was leaning towards the latter.
If the other party had arrived long ago, he would have stared at him.
As long as his gaze stayed on hinm for more than three seconds, Su Jingxing
would be alerted and notice the other party.
So, it was obvious that the other party had just arrived and cultivated a
powerful lightness skill. Instead of taking the entrance of the valley, he had
arrived by flying through the air.
From this flight, he could deduce that his opponent was either third-grade or
fourth-grade martial artist.
Before this, he already knew about the location of the seal.
In other words, the Green Cloud Court wasn’t the only faction that was
coveting the Flying Lions!
Now that the seal had been destroyed by Su Jingxing, the lake where the Flying
Lions were hibernating was exposed to the air. Anyone who brought the Flying Lion Ring could easily break the array formation and awaken the 108 experts.
In this case, Su Jingxing had also been a huge help to this third party!

Hu
Swoosh!
The sound of rapid wind echoed.
A figure descended from the sky and landed on the slope.
“How did it go, Commander Gu?” asked Li Chunzhen nervously when he saw
the person.
“He got away,” said Gu Zhanlin grimly. His face was ashen. “He managed too
escape and burrowed into the woods. He concealed his aura, and his techniques
were exceptional. He leaked nothing!”
Li Chunzhen gaped at him in silence.
The others were equally shocked.
The third-grade Gu Zhanlin had actually lost his target
Gu Zhanlin even came clean about it.
What the heck was going on?!
The crowd remained silent.
What could they say?
With the person gone, there was no point in talking about it.
Gu Zhanlin, who was ready to throw caution to the wind, was angry but did not
continue picking on it.
“It’s no big deal. The only way to break the array formation is to find the Flying
Lion Ring”
“Therefore, our next task is to search for the Flying Lion Ring. I hope we can
share all information about it.”
“No problem,” replied Li Chunzhen hastily.
Now that he had picked the Changyang Prefecture Army’s side, the only thing
he could do was to make the joumey to the end. He had to help the Prefecture
Army brealk the array formation and wake up the Flying Lions. Only by waking
up 108 experts would he be able to continue his relationship with Gu Zhanlin
and confim his as a backer of Green Cloud Court.
Xiong Qifan and Yu Qi could tell as much.
The two of them remained silent, not contradicting Li Chunzhen at this point.
However, Su Jingxing did not need Gu Zhanlin.
“I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
With that, Su Jingxing soared into the sky and controlled Thunderbolt to wrap
around him before disappearing into the horizon.
In terms of speed, he was even faster than Gu Zhanlin.
When Xiong Qifan, Du Kexin, and the others looked up immediately after
hearing the sound, Su Jingxing was already nowhere to be seen.
Even Gu Zhanlin could only see the last of his shadow flitting across the
horizon.
.S0 fast!”
murmured Xiong Qifan subconsciously.
“What do you guys know about this Jiang Ziya?” asked Gu Zhanlin in a low voice
as ne retracted his gaze.
“Not much. We really just happened to run into him by chance,” said Xiong
Qjfan with a dry laugh.
“Is that so” asked Li Chunzhen, puzzled.
“why would we lie to you?” said Xiong Qifan, feigning helplessness.
“Alright, let’s not bother about anything else,” said Gu Zhanlin irritably. “The
most important thing at the moment is to find the Flying Lion Ring before
anyone else!”
He couldn’t wait for Su Jingxing to leave.
For every second that this mysterious “old fellow” was around him, he felt
uneasy.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The night breeze stirred the mountains.
Su Jingxing flew in the sky on Thunderbolt.
As a precaution, he didn’t hurry back to Qinghe City. Instead, he circled the sky
once before making a beeline for his small courtyard at the foot of the
mountain. There, he landed on the ground.
After entering the house, he took off his cloak and mask, took a shower, and
made some food.
Once he was done, Su Jingxing SWitched on his computer and searched for
information about the Flying Lion Ring online.
Su Jingxing wasn’t interested in whether or not the Flying Lion army would be
awakened.
However, he was a little interested in the Flying Lion Ring, that could crack the
array formation. The reason why he was searching online was to find out more about the Flying
Lion army. It would be nice if he could find some leads on the Flying Lion Ring.
However, the results surprised Su Jingxing.
Nothing!
After a long search online, there wasn’t a single piece of news regarding the
Flying Lion Ring.
The only thing he could find was information about the Flying Lion.
This “Flying Lion” referred to a type of Mutated Beast-a winged flame lion.
In ancient times, it was already very famous.
The reason for that was because the Flame Flying Lion had once burned
downed an entire city.
Even though an ancient city did not have a big population, and the city that
was burned down by the Flame Flying Lion only had about 200,000 residents,
burning down a city was burning down a city.
Ever since the
, the Flame Flying Lion rose to flame. Its formidable strength
was something that only martial artists in the top ranks could contend against.
There was no record of Flying Lion army under the command of the Rising
Dragon Saber King.
It had been too long, and very few people knew about it.
On the other hand, the Internet had only been developing for a short time, and
no one would be bored enough to record such news from hundreds of years
ago.
Similar hidden incidents could not be found online.
Su Jingxing didn’t have high hopes in the first place. After a series of searches,
he found no leads, so he switched off his computer and continued cultivating
and strengthening his secret abilities.
The next day, he did not go to work at the crematorium.
For the next few days, he did not go either
The crematorium’s commotion would last more than a week.
Rather than going there to watch a bunch of people do all kinds of silly things,
it was better to stay at home and cultivate.
And he stayed for ten days.
When it was about time, Su Jingxing returned to the crematorium.
As expected, the sensation caused by the “third-grade expert” had subsided.
No one continued to stop and examine every single worker at the crematorium.
At ease, Su Jingxing got back to work.
About a week later, he rushed to the Tai Ming Mountain Reservoir in excitement.
After half a month, the Concentration Fruit should have fully ripened!
