Captain Qian stared at Lao Zhao in the distance, his eyes wide with anger, his chest heaving.

He bolted towards Lao Zhao, ready to settle the score.

He had only taken two steps when he saw a thin vine slip past Lao Zhao's heel, disappearing into the sand in an instant. His pupils constricted.

This scene happened too fast; only Captain Qian saw it.

When he raised his head, Captain Qian forcibly contorted a righteous and indignant expression on his face.

"Lao Zhao, why are you just now here?! Someone ambushed us just now and killed two of my brothers!"

Captain Qian's eyes gleamed menacingly. Though he was talking about the enemy, Lao Zhao felt a chill run down his spine and tensed up.

Lao Zhao instinctively touched the bone chain at his waist and took two steps back. "Is anyone there? But we were chasing a vine to get here, weren't you all as well? Could that vine be some cultivator's contract spirit beast?"

"No, it's a spirit without an owner." Captain Qian said this while looking meaningfully at Lao Zhao.

Whether a spirit has been contracted by someone is immediately apparent to all.

Otherwise, Captain Qian wouldn't have been so careless and wanted to seize the Heaven-Piercing Green Vine.

Old Zhao had known all along that Captain Qian disliked him.

It's a pity that Captain Qian is the team leader, he's just a small platoon leader. He can't confront Captain Qian directly. He had doubts in his mind but didn't voice them.

The main problem is still Captain Qian's arrogance and pride. He is domineering and cannot tolerate being questioned.

Old Zhao has already made an enemy of him once, and anything he says will definitely be refuted by Captain Qian.

He didn't want to make a fool of himself, nor did he want to appear undignified in front of his subordinates.

Behind Lao Zhao, his quick-witted brothers stepped forward to ask for him, "That Captain, have you found any lost souls?"

Captain Qian's eyes narrowed, and he slapped the person who was questioning him.

He was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the other party was still in the middle stage, and he was completely unprepared. His head almost got knocked out of whack, and he was directly thrown out, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling around.

Lao Zhao immediately glared angrily, "Captain, what do you mean?"

He knew that Captain Qian had already been unhappy with him since the last time they divided the gold.

He's always picking on me lately.

Lao Zhao had endured it for a few times, but unexpectedly, Captain Qian erupted at this moment.

This slap wasn't aimed at his brother; it was a slap in the face!

"Didn't you see I lost two brothers? Asking such stupid questions! I also want to know, how come you are so slow?!"

That broken vine caused such a big commotion, yet you all are nowhere to be seen!

Captain Qian scolded fiercely, but he wasn't actually angry. He was just using this as an opportunity to get Lao Zhao talking.

He just wants to know when this guy is coming!

Lao Zhao is really angry.

Why is it so late?

Isn't it just an excuse to procrastinate and watch shows?!

Otherwise, why wait for the Heavenly Green Vine to appear before taking action?

Of course, he wouldn't be so honest.

“We got here a while ago, but we had some trouble on the road and it took us longer than expected.”

Captain Qian sneered.

Something's wrong, maybe he wanted to leave early and is thinking about how to kill him.

He was about to make a sarcastic remark when he suddenly heard his subordinate cry out in surprise.

"Captain, he's dead!"

The captain was calling for Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao person a meal's, who died?

Everyone unconsciously looked at the demon cultivator who had been slapped away by Captain Qian.

Captain Qian actually slapped someone to death?

Old Zhao rushed to the body's side in a few steps and checked the situation. At a glance, he saw the fatal wound on the back of the evil cultivator.

His face changed color, and he immediately shouted loudly, “There’s an ambush! Dig up the earth three feet deep, and find the person hiding underground for me!”

"Dare to touch my brother, I will have him cut into a thousand pieces, leaving only white bones!"

Old Zhao's brothers also heard this, and they became furious, ready to seek revenge with a threatening air.

He was just about to get up when a chill wind swept past him.

A bone chain, as thick as an arm, pierced through the void and struck Lao Zhao's heart!

"You bastard, who do you want to kill?!" Captain Qian couldn't bear it any longer.

New and old grudges combined, he could no longer contain himself, releasing the murderous intent in his heart.

Lao Zhao's reaction was not timely enough, but his several brothers kept an eye on Captain Qian, fearing he would do harm to Lao Zhao.

In a flash, someone saw Captain Qian make his move and rushed forward without hesitation to protect Old Zhao from an attack.

In a flash, the bone chain pierced his chest.

One-hit kill.

In just a dozen or so breaths, Lao Zhao lost both of his brothers.

The first one could be said to be someone's ambush and scheme, the second was done by Captain Qian himself.

Cultivators of the evil path never adhered to morality and principles. The strong are supreme in the Pile of Bones Sect, a fact made abundantly clear.

To be oppressed to the very top of one's head, who could possibly bear it?

" Qian Cheng, all talk about restless spirits is just an excuse. You've probably wanted to kill me for a long time, haven't you?" Lao Zhao no longer bothered to maintain his composure and called out Captain Qian by name.

Captain Qian let out a cold snort, clutching the bone chain and charging towards Lao Zhao.

For a time, the two teams fought fiercely.

A relentless and uncompromising attack.

Lin Qi was surprised that her plan to sow discord had worked so well.

She didn't stand around idly watching the show. Instead, she took her sky-reaching green vine and sped toward the stronghold location.

This outpost can hold three teams!

Captain Qian and Lao Zhao's team turned on each other, which temporarily resolved the crisis.

Then the remaining third team won't be able to use the same tactics anymore.

Lin Qi wants to face this team head-on, the pressure is also very big.

The sixteen formations surrounding us have begun to take effect!

Icebreaker Gale Formation - Activate!

As Lin Qi struck the hand seal, sixteen spirit disks activated simultaneously.

A chill swept through, a blanket of ice covering the ground, spreading rapidly.

The gale raged like a blade, weaving through the air, its murderous intent spreading in an instant.

Six evil cultivators who were still monitoring the surroundings at their outpost simultaneously sensed the crisis.

Drawing sword, drawing sword. Extracting bone chains, extracting bone chains.

The sound of crunching ice mixed with the clang of clashing blades, and suddenly a group of people found themselves bound hand and foot.

Lin Qi's speed was as fast as lightning, his figure charging into the formation like a ghost.

As the Black Water Devouring Thunder Art was cast, a layer of water sheen appeared on his skin.

And within the water, there was a faint layer of blue shimmering.

The gale force wind slammed into her, but she didn't even raise an eyebrow.

The Zan Shen blade in his hand left only a fleeting shadow, swiftly slashing across a streak of silver, blood flying out in its wake.

A wicked cultivator fell with a thud.

With a flash of lightning, Lin Qi blinked, appearing behind the cultist at the edge in an instant.

These sensed someone behind them, and with a pat on their waist, the bone chains automatically shot out.

Lin Qi did not dodge or evade. Her Zhenshen Dao thrust forward, effortlessly piercing through layers of defenses. Blood exploded from his chest.

With the other hand, he yanked his bone chain back with force and shoved it into his storage space.

She saw that most of the evil cultivators in the black sandstone had such a bone chain, Lin Qi felt that it would definitely be useful in the future.

With his super powerful physique and speed, Lin Qi darted through the gale ice layers, effortlessly taking down four evil cultivators in the blink of an eye.

There is one Foundation Stage late captain and one Foundation Stage mid-term team member left.

(The End)
