Chapter 171 The Lion's Plan
In a secluded corner of the cliff.
"That brat Qin Ming took on a disciple, but he didn't even bother to bring him to see me."
The Lion Douluo scratched his bald head.
"Never mind, I'll deal with him later.
Bibi Dong is the one I need to focus on."
The Lion Douluo turned his gaze towards Spirit City.
In the Lion Douluo's view, seeing Qin Ming and his disciple was fine anytime.
However, if he left early and Bibi Dong escaped during this time,
it would create a hidden danger for the Spirit Hall that could erupt at any moment—something he absolutely couldn't allow.
Thinking of this, the Lion Douluo's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself,
"Now I just hope Bibi Dong can make the right choice.
After all, Bibi Dong is Xiao Xue's birth mother. If she stays peacefully in the Spirit Hall and doesn't cause trouble, I don't want to touch her..."
At this moment, inside the spacious carriage.
Qin Ming suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at Zhao Wuji, who was driving the carriage.
"Teacher Zhao, something seems amiss. Please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji, outside the carriage, immediately realized what was happening.
"Alright."
With that, Zhao Wuji forcefully pulled on the reins.
After he brought the speeding carriage under control, he lifted the curtain and asked Qin Ming,
"Your Highness, have you forgotten something in Wuhun City?
If you need to retrieve it, just let me know.
I, Old Zhao, am quite adept at these kinds of chores."
Hearing Zhao Wuji's joking words, Qin Ming shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher Zhao, no, it's nothing.
I have a storage soul tool on me. I store most of my important items in it, so I won't forget anything."
With that, Qin Ming stepped out of the carriage.
Qin Ming scanned his surroundings with a puzzled look.
Under the blazing sun,
towering cliffs lined both sides of the canyon, with a wide road specially repaired by the Spirit Hall running straight ahead.
There were no weeds, no birdsong, no insect sounds.
Only when a gentle breeze blew could one hear the occasional sound of pebbles rolling down.
'Was I imagining things?
I clearly felt like someone was watching us.'
Qin Ming frowned. After practicing the Distraction Technique, Qin Ming had become extremely sensitive to even the slightest fluctuations in his mental energy.
This was why he could sense someone spying on him.
As he pondered, Qin Ming lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the wings of light on his back unfolded. In the
blink of an eye, Qin Ming soared into the sky, overlooking the entire canyon.
The extraordinary eyesight granted by the Autumn Water Dew was once again fully utilized.
The entire canyon was laid out before him.
With just a glance, Qin Ming noticed the Lion Douluo's bald head, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
'Teacher?
So my perception wasn't wrong.'
The faint fluctuations of spiritual energy I just sensed were Teacher investigating our carriage.
But didn't Teacher just leave Spirit City this morning to complete the Divine Trial?
What's he doing here?
Lion Douluo also noticed Qin Ming's gaze.
After giving Qin Ming an awkward smile, Lion Douluo silently hid his three-meter-tall body behind a boulder.
Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't choose to approach.
Qin Ming was somewhat puzzled, but he knew that Lion Douluo must have a reason for not actively seeking him out. To avoid affecting Lion Douluo, Qin Ming didn't want to expose his disguise.
After briefly surveying the area twice in the air, Qin Ming pretended to have found nothing and landed directly on the ground.
As soon as he landed, Zhao Wuji and the others surrounded him.
Zhao Wuji, who had ventured into the Soul Master world in his early years, was more wary than Ke Lin and Xue Qinghe. He asked Qin Ming with a serious expression,
"Your Highness, have you discovered anything?"
Meeting their gazes, Qin Ming shook his head without changing his expression.
"It might just be my imagination. I vaguely felt like someone was watching us.
However, I just surveyed the area from the air, and there's no one else around except us."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Xue Qinghe, who was less than 1.2 meters tall, said in a low voice.
"Teacher, you must be mistaken.
When I left Heaven Dou City, my father told me that Spirit City has a large number of Title Douluos and is the safest place on the entire continent.
No Soul Master would dare to cause trouble here."
Hearing this, Qin Ming reached out and ruffled Xue Qinghe's hair.
"Hmm...
Qinghe, you're right. I was mistaken just now."
Saying this, Qin Ming waved to Zhao Wuji and Kelin beside him.
"Let's go straight, don't waste time.
The sooner we finish the Soul Hunt, the sooner we can come back."
After saying this, Qin Ming turned and walked into the carriage.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji and the others didn't think too much about it.
After everyone got into the carriage, the carriage sped off again towards the Soul Hunting Forest...
At this moment, the Lion Douluo sitting behind the boulder covered his face with his hands.
"Damn it, I've lost face big time.
This place is already quite hidden, how did Qin Ming see me at a glance?"
Halfway through his sentence, the Lion Douluo suddenly realized.
After touching his head, which was burning hot from the sun, Lion Douluo's face darkened.
Realizing how he had been exposed, Lion Douluo stood up and looked in the direction the carriage had sped away.
"Although my manipulation of mental power is only average, and I didn't deliberately hide my mental power fluctuations,
logically speaking, most Soul Saints shouldn't be able to sense my mental power.
How come Qin Ming's perception of mental power fluctuations is so sharp?"
Lion Douluo habitually tried to stroke his beard, but found nothing; the smooth texture of his chin left him somewhat helpless.
"Oh well, this is a good thing.
Judging from the current situation, Qin Ming shouldn't encounter any bottlenecks in breaking through to the Soul Saint level in terms of mental power.
He just needs to continue his cultivation with patience and perseverance."
As he spoke, Lion Douluo stroked his chin, his gaze becoming distant.
"Our Spirit Hall has no records of fire-attribute 100,000-year-old spirit beasts.
It seems I need to find one.
Every spirit ring this kid acquires needs careful consideration; we can't waste precious slots."
As he spoke, Lion Douluo took out a topographical map from his storage spirit tool.
Looking at the carefully marked locations of the volcanoes, Lion Douluo made his decision.
"When I complete the Divine Trial, I can explore the volcanoes.
I might gain something."
After muttering this, Lion Douluo stopped thinking about it.
Having learned his lesson, Lion Douluo chose a relatively secluded spot, punched a few times, and carved a cave in the cliff face, hiding himself in the shadows…
Just as Lion Douluo began to ambush Bibi Dong again
, Bibi Dong had already returned to her residence. She had decided to go into seclusion to cultivate, hoping to break through as soon as possible and avenge herself…
