Chapter 63: Back Attack

  As Qin Ke'er returned, the ordinary people who had been poisoned by the bat's venom all filled their eyes with hope. The middle-aged officer took the jade bottle from Qin Ke'er and gave it to a middle-aged man who was more deeply poisoned. After a moment, he saw the middle-aged man's complexion gradually improve. Qin Ke'er leaned down, her right hand gently placed on the man's wrist, and a faint spiritual power flowed into his body, instantly feeling the toxins inside his body rapidly dissolving.

  "Give it to someone else too, and they'll be fine in a while," Qin Ke'er said calmly, standing up and speaking with a tranquil expression.

  "Thank you so much, thank you so much for saving me, thank you so much..." The poisoned civilian kept kowtowing to Qin Ke'er in gratitude.

  Qin Ke'er's expression was calm, she turned her head to look at the middle-aged officer and said slowly: "You guys take care of the remaining Hanshui water, if we encounter something like this again in the future, it will be easier to handle."

  "Thank you, Immortal Savior." At this time, these people became extremely reverent towards Qin Ke'er. If it weren't for Qin Ke'er risking her life to retrieve the Cold Spring water from the Blood Bat Cave, perhaps these people would have only been able to wait for death with their eyes open.

  "Shao Zongzhu is really kind-hearted and generous." Wang Ke now knew why Qin Ke'er wanted to go to the Blood Bat Cave to fetch the Cold Spring water, and he saw that Qin Ke'er's gaze was somewhat different from before.

  Who would have thought that beneath Qin Ke'er's aloof exterior lay such emotions.

  Qin Ke'er walked over to Wang Ke's side, her expression calm and serene. Just as she was about to say something, her eyebrows suddenly changed and she turned her head to gaze at the distant sky. Beside her, Qin Ke'er's expression also changed.

  "Not good, it seems like a master is chasing after us!" However, it was Wang Ke who first let out a cry of surprise, and at this time, Wang Ke also turned his head to look towards the distant sky.

  He could feel the strong aura emanating from afar, dispersing a chill that was absolutely from a formidable demonic cultivator.

  "I didn't expect them to chase us all the way here. They must be with that previous group of demonic cultivators, foundation stage cultivators. We can't handle them." Qin Ke'er's brow furrowed, her face slightly tense.

  After a moment, he made up his mind and said hastily, "Let's leave quickly." Qin Ke'er waved her right hand, and a cyan flying boat appeared out of thin air, instantly appearing beside them. Then Qin Ke'er pointed with her finger, and a cyan light shot into the flying boat, causing it to float immediately. Next, Qin Ke'er flashed onto the flying boat in an instant, beckoning to Wang Ke with one hand: "Come on up."

  Wang Ke suddenly appeared on the flying boat, and Qin Ke'er stretched out her right hand. The spiritual power in her hand poured into a light ball on the flying boat, and the flying boat rose with a flash of light. Then, a thick white light column shot out from the rear of the flying boat, and the flying boat suddenly accelerated forward, rising to an altitude of hundreds of feet in an instant.

  Ordinary people below saw such a scene, and they worshipped again, their mouths chanting words of admiration, full of reverent color, in the blink of an eye, the flying boat had disappeared from everyone's sight.

  Just as Feizhou was leaving, a rolling black cloud flew over from the sky above and chased after him in the direction he had left.

  The flying boat was a deep blue color, about two zhang long and half a zhang wide. On its surface were carved many mysterious spiritual patterns. At the front of the boat was a small raised platform, on which was inlaid a white crystal ball. The crystal ball was emitting a faint, ethereal glow. Qin Ke'er's right hand was pressed against the crystal ball, and her spiritual energy was pouring into it.

  The flying boat's flight speed was actually three points faster than the sword flight, and Wang couldn't help but feel a little envious. Only Qin Ke'er, as the young master of the clan, had such things.

  "Not good, the guy behind is catching up, didn't expect the speed to be so fast" Although Fei Zhou's speed was already very fast at this time, Wang Ke felt that the breath of the pursuer behind him was getting closer and closer, and he suddenly became anxious.

  Qin Ke'er's eyebrows were also tightly furrowed at this time, her face turned extremely ugly, and a look of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

  "Hurry up and recover your spiritual power, next time it's your turn to control the Wind Chariot" Qin Ke'er said to Wang Ke while urging the flying boat forward.

  Upon hearing this, Wang Ke immediately sat cross-legged at the rear of the flying boat, reached out and took out a jade bottle, poured out several small spiritual pills and swallowed them, then closed his eyes to regulate his breath.

  At this moment, Qin Ke'er also stuck her left hand on the light ball in front of Fei Zhou, and more spiritual power surged into the light ball. Suddenly, the speed of Fei Zhou increased by threefold.

  "Huh, there's actually such a flying spirit tool. It seems that this little guy is quite wealthy." Just as the flying boat suddenly accelerated in front, a surprised cry came from the dark clouds behind.

  Then the dark cloud rolled over, and the speed also picked up, keeping pace with the flying boat in front. A dry, cold laugh came from the dark cloud: "Heh heh, I'd like to see how long you can last, this flying boat consumes a lot of spiritual energy".

  The more extraordinary the spiritual instrument, the greater the consumption of spiritual power. He saw that in front of him were two Nascent Soul stage disciples, and since he was also injured, he thought to himself that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Therefore, he adopted a strategy of boiling a frog in warm water.

  Qin Ke'er urged the flying boat forward with all her might, and the spiritual power that had just been restored in her body was rapidly consumed. The fluctuations of spiritual power on her body were getting weaker and weaker.

  Just as the spiritual energy in his body was about to dry up, Wang Ke stood up at the rear of the flying boat and walked to the front.

  "Junior Master, you go to the back and rest for now, I'll take care of the rest." After a brief recovery, Wang Ke's spiritual energy had recovered significantly, and the spiritual energy from the small Ling Dan he had swallowed earlier was still surging within his body.

  "En." Qin Ke'er nodded, withdrew her hands and quickly walked to the back of the flying boat. She sat down cross-legged without caring about others, took out two dan pills and swallowed them, starting to cultivate. As she released the light ball from her hands, the white light pillar at the tail of the flying boat gradually weakened, and the speed of the flying boat began to slow down.

  Wang Ke arrived at the spot where Qin Ke'er had just stood, his hands stuck to the light ball, and instantly spiritual energy surged into the light ball from both arms. A slight vibration came from underfoot, and suddenly a white light pillar burst out of the rear of the flying boat, becoming turbulent in an instant. The speed of the flying boat also suddenly increased, and it actually accelerated again.

  "What's going on?!" A puzzled murmur came from the rolling black clouds behind, just as he had sensed that the flying boat in front had slowed down. He was initially delighted to think that the two of them couldn't hold on any longer, but at this moment, the speed of the flying boat suddenly increased again, leaving him somewhat perplexed. His heart skipped a beat, and after a brief moment, an eerie smile appeared on the old man's cold face in the black clouds.

  "Let you persist for a while, cat catching mouse, the enjoyment is in the process, the helpless soul should be a great supplement to the soul flag." A strange voice came from the black cloud.

  On the vast land, plains, high mountains, swamps and forests flew by under the flying boat. Unbeknownst to them, the flying boat had already flown for three days and three nights. Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er on the flying boat looked very tired. At this time, Qin Ke'er took over from Wang Ke, but now the two people exchanged shifts to urge the flying boat forward with shorter intervals. The faces of both of them looked very bad.

  "Shaozong master, if we don't think of a way to shake off this tail, it's going to be very troublesome." Wang Ke said anxiously without returning to the back of the flying boat to cultivate.

  "But his speed is so fast, it's not easy to shake him off. As long as we pause for a moment, we'll be caught up." Qin Ke'er said with a serious expression, judging from the enemy's pursuit speed, the two of them only needed to pause slightly, and they would be caught up in no time.

  "It would be great if there was a formation that could trap the enemy, but setting up a temporary formation might be a bit difficult." King Ke thought to himself, wanting to set up a formation to trap the Foundation Establishment cultivators wasn't as simple as he thought.

  "I do have a way, I just so happen to have a set of array flags here that can be used to set up a large-scale Soul-Confusing Array. However, setting up the Soul-Confusing Array requires a lot of spirit stones, and the amount I have on me is probably not enough." Although she had a set of array flags on her, the amount of spirit stones needed to set up the array was insufficient, causing Qin Ke'er to feel somewhat disappointed.

  "How many spirit stones are needed?" Wang Ke's eyes lit up, he didn't lack spirit stones, if it was just a matter of using spirit stones to set up the Soul-Confusing Array, then it was worth trying.

  "Do you have it? Setting up the Soul-Confusing Array requires 50,000 low-grade spirit stones." Qin Ke'er was taken aback and turned to look at Wang Ke, her pale face slightly surprised.

  "Five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Wang Ke's heart skipped a beat, five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones was no small amount, even if he didn't have that many low-grade spirit stones on him. Although spirit stones could aid in cultivation, having too many seemed useless to him. However, his expression changed as he asked: "I wonder if mid-grade spirit stones would work, I have six hundred mid-grade spirit stones here."

  "Six hundred mid-grade spirit stones!" This time Qin Ke'er was truly shocked by Wang Ke's words, never expecting that the Nascent Soul stage cultivator in front of her would have so many mid-grade spirit stones. For an ordinary inner sect disciple, having a single mid-grade spirit stone was already a luxury.

  Seeing Qin Ke'er's shocked expression, Wang Ke's face became somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, as a mid-term Nascent Soul cultivator, having such a large number of middle-grade spirit stones was shocking enough to be talked about.

  "Cough cough, Young Master Shao, I don't know if it's okay," Wang Ke asked after clearing his throat.

  "Ah, having a mid-grade spirit stone effect is naturally the best. There are thirty-six array flags here, you take them first and also take a look at the method of setting up the Soul-Confusing Array." Qin Ke'er composed herself, waved her right hand, and an array flag set appeared in front of Wang Ke, along with a small booklet.

  Wang Ke first put away the formation flags, then picked up the booklet beside him that recorded the formation method and began to flip through it.

  The way of array is vast and profound, fortunately, Wang Ke had also flipped through some books on array analysis for a year, not without any foundation at all. With the small booklet in hand recording it very clearly, he quickly memorized the key points of the Soul-Confusing Array. When he closed the small booklet, only a short while had passed, just about the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

  "Alright, Young Master, let's find a place to set up our formation," Wang Ke hastily said.

  "What, you've already read the manual for the Soul-Confusing Array?" Qin Ke'er looked at Wang Ke with some surprise and asked. In just a short period of time, although the Soul-Confusing Array wasn't a particularly profound array technique, it was rare for someone to become familiar with its layout in such a short amount of time.

  "Hehe, I've read some books on formation explanations before, and a few of them are similar to the Soul-Confusing Formation." Wang Ke said with a scratch of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  Upon hearing this, Qin Ke'er's face revealed a hint of surprise, and she nodded slightly. She turned her head to look forward, and in the distance, there was suddenly a stone forest that appeared to be enormous. Qin Ke'er urged the flying boat forward, and it shot towards the direction of the stone forest.

  "Heh heh, the two little ones are finally about to give up, huh? Just in time, I'm also losing patience. Let's settle this ahead of us." The old man behind the dark cloud sensed the movement of Qin Ke'er's flying boat and revealed a cold smile on his face, urging the dark cloud to follow closely behind.
