Two whispers rang out in his ears, causing Zhou Qi's flying figure to suddenly pause.
Foreign monk?
These four words rolled through his mind like thunder, instantly giving him insight into the key clues.
People here don't know Spiritual Qi's practice, but regard the monks who fly in the air as aliens. Obviously, the practice system of this world is completely subverted with the Profound Spirit Realm's.
The thought passed quickly, Zhou Qi's eyes narrowed, and his figure suddenly turned around, turning into a pale shadow and heading towards the ground where the two of them were.
As the distance quickly narrowed, the appearance of two figures came into view clearly.
The appearance of the two of them is the same as that of ordinary humans, except that their clothes are extremely weird. There are no standard clothes on their bodies. There are only two large pieces of gray cloth wrapped around their bodies. The cloth is rough and dry, stained with dust, and exudes a strong rustic atmosphere of Savage Wilderness.
The moment he landed, Zhou Qi felt wary.
The two seemingly ordinary people are by no means ordinary mortals.
The boy was about ten years old, with green brows and piercing hatred in his eyes.
The older young man next to him was in his twenties, with a dark and tough face, his eyes locked tightly on him, his eyes fierce and tight, and his hostility was undisguised.
What Zhou Qi is even more concerned about is that there is no Spiritual Qi fluctuation in their bodies. It seems that they have never set foot on the path of spiritual practice, and their bodies are ordinary and unremarkable.
But he Divine Sense keenly captured that there was a faint strange aura lingering in both of their bodies. It was of the same origin as the silver-white streamer he had touched at high altitude before. It was a unique energy in this world.
"Where is this place?" Zhou Qi spoke in a deep voice and asked directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young boy immediately raised his eyes, hatred welling up in his eyes, and he stared at Zhou Qi with his teeth clenched, as if he had a blood feud.
The older young man on the side was even more tense, with a fierce look on his face, and said sternly, "Why should I tell you!"
Zhou Qi's expression remained unchanged. "It seems that you are quite hostile to me."
Hearing this, the young man became more wary, and the fierceness in his eyes grew stronger. He secretly raised his hand and quietly pushed the young man behind him back, moving twice in a row, as if to provide some signal to the young man.
The next moment, without saying a word, he turned around with the young man and ran towards the distant wasteland. At the same time, he opened his mouth and roared with all his strength, and his voice penetrated the wilderness. "Come quickly! There are monks from outside the territory!!"
The harsh cry for help echoed in the gray sky and earth.
Zhou Qi frowned slightly, and a cold color flashed across his eyes.
His mind moved slightly, the light in his palm flashed, and a wisp of slender and sharp Sword-Ray instantly solidified, and Air-Breaking Slash shot out quickly.
"Pfft--"
Sword-Ray is as fast as lightning, instantly penetrating the wilderness, accurately penetrating the young man's back, and coming out through the body.
The running body suddenly stiffened, and the steps suddenly stopped.
A wisp of dark red blood foam escaped from the young man's throat, and his body fell heavily to the ground. His limbs twitched twice, and then he completely lost his breath.
Zhou Qi slowly floated to the ground and his eyes fell heavily on the young man who was lying limply on the ground.
At this moment, the boy's face was already pale, his whole body was shaking violently, his eyes were full of extreme fear, and he was staring at his dead brother who fell to the ground.
But deep within those layers of fear, there was a trace of resentment that was almost paranoid, which he firmly hid at the very bottom.
Zhou Qi's face was still cold, and he said calmly, "I'll ask you a few questions, answer them truthfully, and I'll spare your life."
The young man trembled all over. He nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and his body lay in the dust, not daring to disobey again.
"Where is this place?" Zhou Qi got straight to the point.
"Yes... it's Hidden-Heaven Realm!" The young man's voice trembled and he answered with trembling words.
Hidden-Heaven Realm!
Zhou Qi's mind suddenly moved, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Hidden-Heaven Realm, Hidden-Heaven Dao Pearl?
The two names vaguely echo each other, could it be a coincidence?
He immediately asked, throwing out doubts in his mind. "Is this an independent world? Or is it Small World under the jurisdiction of which force? How to leave here?"
The young man shook his head hurriedly, his tone urgent and panicked. "It's not Small World! This is the real big world, and... you can't get out of here, no one can ever leave Hidden-Heaven Realm!"
Zhou Qi's brows suddenly furrowed, and his heart became even more shocked and suspicious.
Not Small World?
But this place Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is desolate, the rules are weird, and there is a sense of occlusion everywhere, and there is no trace of the grandeur of the big world.
He pondered for a moment, then spoke again, testing the practice pattern of this world. "Have you heard of the Primordial Immortal Sect, Primordial Dao Sect, Violet Cloud Heavenly Palace?"
The young man shook his head blankly, his eyes full of confusion. "I've never heard of it."
Zhou Qi nodded silently, changed the topic, and directly expressed the core doubt:
"Since we have never met each other, why do you hate me when you see me and treat me as an enemy?"
After saying these words, the young man suddenly shut up, bit his lower lip, lowered his head deeply, and fell into a long silence.
The wind in the wilderness was bleak, and only his rapid and panicked breathing could be faintly heard.
After a long time, he carefully raised his head with a cry in his eyes, begging. "I told you, are you really not going to kill me?"
"Just say it bluntly, I won't kill you." Zhou Qi said calmly and with a clear voice.
The young man took a deep breath, seemed to have summoned up a lifetime of courage, and slowly revealed the secret. "We have been imprisoned in this Hidden-Heaven Realm for generations."
"The elders in the family have passed down from generation to generation that it was you monks from outside the territory who imprisoned us here!"
"All those who practice different paths from ours are all outsider monks and our enemies!"
Zhou Qi's heart was slightly shaken, and he understood the source of all the weirdness.
There is no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here, and the local creatures naturally do not practice Spiritual Qi Cultivation Method. The cultivation methods they have learned since their birth must be completely different from those of monks outside the region.
The long-term imprisonment and rumors made them develop a bone-deep hostility and wariness against all alien monks.
"What kind of Tao do you practice?" Zhou Qi asked in a deep voice.
The young man hesitated for a moment and slowly raised his palm.
A tiny ray of silvery white light slowly rose from his palm, flowing with a warm and strange strange energy.
"Let's repair Primordial Qi." The young man put away his streamer and looked up at Zhou Qi, his face full of sincerity and he kept begging:
"Sir, this is all I know. They are all rumors passed down by the old people from generation to generation. I really have nothing to hide! Please let me go. I will never say anything when I go back and I will not tell anyone that I have seen you!"
Zhou Qi's eyes were deep and he had already caught the young man's subtle expression.
This young man seemed to be frightened and humble, begging for mercy and showing weakness, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of cunning and cruelty that never disappeared.
He remained calm and nodded lightly. "Let's go."
The young man's tense body suddenly relaxed, he let out a long breath, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
The moment he lowered his head, a fierce look flashed across his eyes, and in an instant he changed into an extremely respectful look:
"Thank you sir for sparing me!"
After saying that, he stood up and didn't dare to stay any longer, turned around and ran towards Wasteland in the distance.
As the distance grew further and further away from Zhou Qi's sight, the fear in the young man's eyes completely dissipated, replaced by undisguised coldness and resentment.
"Foreign monks... if you kill my brother... you must tell the Lord!" He cursed secretly through gritted teeth in a low voice, filled with vengeful rage.
But before he finished speaking, two tiny rays of bright golden light suddenly appeared from the void and passed over the earth silently.
The first ray of golden light accurately passed over his waist and legs, and severe pain swept through his body instantly. The young man's body stiffened suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a shrill groan of pain escaped from his throat, but he had no time to scream.
The next second, the second golden light arrived in an instant and cut off his neck with precision.
The head soared into the air and the body fell to the ground.
In just a short moment, the young man died on the spot full of resentment.
Zhou Qi stood quietly on the spot, his eyes indifferently sweeping over the two fallen corpses.
As we all know, he Zhou Qi always doesn't mean what he says when it comes to his enemies.
This place is unfamiliar, and the whole region hates me. A woman's kindness will only lead to her own destruction.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and took out Hidden-Heaven Dao Pearl, completely hiding the aura of a tyrannical monk in it.
After a few breaths, the aura on Zhou Qi's body has turned into a mortal.
Then he stepped forward, took off the gray cloth robe from the older youth, and put it on himself.
Then he briefly inspected the two people's belongings. They were all ordinary daggers, bows and arrows, but there was no Cultivation Method.
The wounds of these two corpses are still exuding traces of Spiritual Qi.
Zhou Qi pondered for a moment, dug the soil on the spot, buried the two corpses deep in the ground, and then casually created a ban to cover up the scattered Spiritual Qi.
He raised his hand and swept across the surrounding wilderness, guiding all the Spiritual Power aura remaining in this place into the restriction.
After everything was done, I buried it with confidence.
He raised his eyes to look at the shining city in the distance to the east, and walked steadily towards the civilized land of the Hidden-Heaven Realm.
