Ch. 243Departure
Su Qiu continued his journey toward the Blood God Legion, traveling on foot through Mingdu and into the desert while reflecting on cultivation and hearing that the Federation had increased its patrols. When a Sand Demon Worm swarm attacked near a Federation Army convoy, soldiers rushed to rescue him, unaware that he was already holding his ground.
- Guang asked Su Qiu why they were walking, and Su Qiu explained that he wanted to experience the world and hoped the journey would improve his Mental Power.
- In Mingdu, a restaurant owner warned Su Qiu that Federation troops were patrolling the city; Su Qiu suspected the Federation had learned about the Holy Spirit Cult’s threat.
- Su Qiu crossed into the western desert and used his Mental Power to detect a convoy of Federation soldiers traveling nearby.
- A Sand Demon Worm swarm opened a quicksand vortex beneath Su Qiu and attacked the convoy, prompting a female soldier to lead a rescue team toward him.
- As the soldiers approached, Su Qiu prepared to teach the Sand Demon Worms a lesson, though they believed he was struggling in the quicksand.
