Crimson Flame Serpent and Fu Qinsheng

In Lu Yuan's plan, only top-tier Soul Beast like the Netherworld Violetspirit Cat and the Ghostflame Howling Wind Tiger were worthy of Zhu Zhuqing.

Moreover, Lu Yuan easily capture top-tier Soul Beast under a thousand years old. With his current strength, he could even hunt down super Soul Beast under a thousand years old, such as the Titan Giant Ape, on his own.

That's how strong they are!

"Let's go, Zhu Qing!" After tossing the Nether Cat aside, Lu Yuan smiled at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing beside him.

"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and followed closely beside Lu Yuan, the two of them moving forward side by side.

In fact, if two people are teaming up, especially if one person is strong and the other is weak, the best way to move forward is to walk side by side, because it is easier to take care of each other. If one person is in front and the other is behind, it is very likely that they will not be able to rescue each other in time if something happens.

Lu Yuan held Zhu Zhuqing's small hand in one hand and carried the World-Shocking Spear in the other.

Zhu Zhuqing's hands felt different from Hu Liena's. Hu Liena's palms were warm and hot, while Zhu Zhuqing's small hands were somewhat cold and slippery, more like a piece of moist, cold jade, which felt very nice to hold.

Holding Lu Yuan's hand, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little shy, but the feeling of Lu Yuan's large hand gripping hers was exceptionally strong and fulfilling, giving Zhu Zhuqing a great sense of security.

Gazing at Lu Yuan's almost perfect profile, Zhu Zhuqing became somewhat mesmerized once again.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had seen him many times these days, even seeing him every morning when she opened her eyes, she still never got tired of looking at him. Zhu Zhuqing felt that she was almost obsessed with Lu Yuan's good looks.

Lu Yuan originally intended to put the mask back on, but for some reason, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't allow it. Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan had to give in to Zhu Zhuqing's idea.

After all, she's his woman, so he should always pamper her.

Pushing aside the weeds ahead, Lu Yuan pulled Zhu Zhuqing forward again.

It has to be said that this forest is indeed very large. Lu Yuan and his companion have been walking for so long, but they still haven't left the forest. In fact, Lu Yuan estimates that they may have only covered less than half the distance.

The Soul Beast in this forest are quite powerful, but perhaps because those who enter the ruins are all young people under the age of twenty, most of the Soul Beast are hundreds or thousands of years old. Apart from the Dream Demon Fox, Lu Yuan has not yet encountered any other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, it makes sense. Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are almost a deadly threat to those below the Soul King. Even Lu Yuan, when facing Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, could only protect himself. Killing it would be extremely difficult.

As for the Dream Demon Fox, that's a special case!

If there are too many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and their strength is too disparate, then there is no need for them to undergo training. As one of the Five Great God Kings, the Goddess of Life could not have failed to consider this point.

Although Lu Yuan still believes that people who die in the ruins can be resurrected outside the ruins, this is just Lu Yuan's speculation. Without actual evidence, Lu Yuan is unlikely to risk his and Zhu Zhuqing's lives to prove this pointless conjecture.

Moreover, if one dies, even if one is resurrected, it means that the treasures in the ruins will be completely out of reach. Lu Yuan would never do something so foolish.

Therefore, Lu Yuan remained cautious as he walked through the forest, wary of potential dangers from all directions.

As he parted the weeds in front of him again, Lu Yuan suddenly paused, his ears perking up slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

"There seems to be some movement ahead, it looks like there's a fight!" Lu Yuan up his ears, listening to the faint sounds coming from ahead, and made a simple assessment of the situation ahead!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing also became vigilant, and she had no doubt about Lu Yuan's judgment!

"It's alright, don't be afraid, it's still far from us, let's go up and take a look first!" Lu Yuan comforted Zhu Zhuqing said softly to her.

As she spoke, she picked up her mask and put it on. It didn't matter if it was just Zhu Zhuqing, but if she might run into other people, she would need to keep it a secret.

Zhu Zhuqing saw Lu Yuan putting on the mask, but she didn't stop him. She believed that Lu Yuan had his own reasons for doing so.

"Come on, Zhu Qing!" Lu Yuan took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and slowly moved forward.

After walking about 500 meters, the battle situation came into view.

In the arena, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old dressed in white was fighting a four-meter-long, blood-red python. Lu Yuan recognized the python; it was the Crimson Flame Serpent, which was probably of the same rank as the Mandala Snake among snake-type Soul Beast.

The Crimson Flame Serpent in front of them clearly had a thousand years of cultivation, as its four-meter length was a sign that it had reached that age.

The white-clad youth opposite him was holding a radiant ancient zither, but strangely, while ordinary zithers have seven strings, the one in the youth's hand only had six.

This young man's cultivation level was not low. Three Soul Ring, yellow, yellow, and purple, rippled beneath him. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had already broken through to the Soul Elder. He was another genius.

Lu Yuan recognized the person somewhat, because this young man was the same one who had detected Lu Yuan's Soul Power fluctuations in the Qin Sect.

"It's him?" Lu Yuan murmured softly.

"He is Fu Qinsheng of the Qin Sect!" Zhu Zhuqing said with a hint of surprise.

"What, Zhu Qing, do you know him?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing with curiosity.

"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "He is the young sect master of the Qin Sect, Fu Qinsheng. I met him once before, I think it was at a banquet, but I can't quite remember which banquet it was!"

"The young master of the Qin Sect?" Lu Yuan said softly, "I have some impression of this sect. Their Martial Soul is a weapon Martial Soul called the Radiant Flowing Lyre. They are good at mental control, but they lack offensive power. The strength of this sect should be second only to the Lower Four Sects. It is precisely because their Martial Soul lacks offensive power that they have never been able to enter the ranks of the Lower Four Sects."

"However, the one in front of me, Fu Qinsheng, has a Martial Soul attack power that is not weak. The power of his Soundwave Blade attack Soul Skill is actually quite great, definitely no less than the Soul Skill of other Power Attack System Soul Master. Moreover, his Martial Soul only has six strings, perhaps it has undergone Martial Soul Mutation!"

"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be a pure control type; he's more like a hybrid control/attack type!" Lu Yuan said, stroking his chin as he watched Fu Qinsheng's Soundwave Blade add another wound to the Crimson Flame Serpent.

"Hmm!" Seeing Lu Yuan habitually analyze Fu Qinsheng's situation, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the scene and asked, "Should we intervene?"

Lu Yuan nodded and asked, "Zhu Qing, you are from the Star Luo Empire. Do you know the relationship between the Qin Sect and the Star Luo Imperial Family?"
