My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 12 The fox's tail

“Li Changshou's, she could have followed a pair. Why did he have to go the third way ?! ”

Among the clouds above the Chaos Treasure Forest, Jiu Jiu sat on top of the gray clouds. He hit his knees in frustration, and then took out a gourd of wine to gulp it down. He wanted to settle the worries in his heart.

He had not expected so many disciples to come to the Northern Continent during this Prime Meeting. Four of them were even among the most valuable immortal seeds in the sect. He can't let anything happen to them.

Now, the five of them were so daring to be divided into three groups. Jiu Jiu started to feel depressed.

‘They are all really young cows who are not afraid of tigers! Youth who know no fear!’

However, Jiu Jiu remembered what she was like when she was still a young disciple. Isn't he just as ambitious as them?

Jiu Jiu took out her wine gourd and removed the stopper. Then, he stopped and replaced it.

‘Forget. I will wait for 20 days.’

Due to Miasma Qi, Jiu Jiu's Enhanced immortality sense could not develop too far.

The good thing was that they were in the outermost region of the Northern Continent. The beasts there were not so skilled. Moreover, some human or demon cultivators would remain in this outer region. Instead, most of them will travel deeper.

After pondering for a moment, Jiu Jiu turned her head to look at Yuwen Ling, who was standing on a gray cloud behind her. He wanted to ask her to follow Youqin Xuan and Yuan Qing so that she could relieve the stress. However, right before he said it out loud, Jiu Jiu blinked.

‘Aibi-Tuan Jiu, this person came for an unknown reason and was a little suspicious. Don't trust him easily.’

He recalled the voice transmission Li Changshou had sent him when he chased after him. Jiu Jiu did not accept Li Changshou's words. After all, the guy seemed to be about to faint with a single blow from him.

However, for some reason, Jiu Jiu was really hesitant.

‘Forget. The five of them have not wandered beyond my eternal consciousness for the time being. I don't need to panic.’

He pointed the gray cloud forward, and then turned to say, “Bung, follow me from near.”

“Remain assured, Ta’ala Eternal,” replied Yuwen Ling, cupping his hands. He kept a three-foot distance between them as he followed behind Jiu Jiu.

The group chose three different paths. Naturally, the further they walked, the farther they were.

After pondering for a while, Jiu Jiu decided to follow behind Wang Ji and Liu Yan’er temporarily. As for Yuan Qing and Youqin Xuanya, she was a little more relieved.

As for Li Changshou, Jiu Jiu was worried, but he could not let the couple roam around by himself while he protected the man who went alone. This will make it too obvious that he is biased.

Jiu Jiu prepared to follow behind the three groups in turn. At most, he would make sure that he spent the same amount of time following and protecting each of them!

The rule of Priming Meet was that the immortals only needed to send the disciples to the destination and allow them to practice inside. There was no need for them to bother about anything else.

As the saying goes, “Whether someone survives or not, it depends on destiny.” The disciples would be able to grow faster under such dangerous circumstances. However, pushing them into such dangerous circumstances comes with the risk of losing or injuring them.

According to Jiu Jiu's sense of immortality, his Youqin Xuan and Yuan Qing advanced very quickly towards the region they wanted to reach. The pond where the Fire-Hating Enlightenment Herbs grew was considered one of the safest places within the Forest of Chaos Treasure.

Both did not dare to fly. However, they advanced quite quickly. They don't talk much and run one in front of the other. From time to time, ferocious beasts would attempt to attack them, but they would deal with it easily.

‘Indeed, the disciples of Heaven-Breaking Peak are the most reliable.’

Jiu Jiu looked further down and could see the situation of Wang Ji and Liu Yan’er. Both of them talk while walking. It seemed like they were taking at least a little interest in each other. Although insects and wild animals often try to attack them, they handle them appropriately. Their skills are quite commendable.

‘No big thing happened, but why do I feel so dissatisfied?’

Jiu Jiu pursed her lips, wanting to observe Li Changshou's situation. He focused his sense of immortality and discovered that he was lost!

Was he ripped apart by a savage beast so quickly?! Or has he been swallowed whole?!

Jiu Jiu frowned and quickly intensified the search using her immortal senses.

That's not true. He used techniques to protect himself from his immortal senses. He could still sense the aura of the boy in the north, and he was also moving at high speed. He moved at least double the speed of his Youqin Xuan and Yuan Qing!

‘Brat, you are a Soul Formation cultivator at the Ninth Stage, yet you flew towards the deeper regions of the Chaos Treasure Forest? Are you in a hurry to die?!’

Jiu Jiu tilted her chin upwards and groaned wordlessly, causing her already torn top to tremble violently.

He glanced at Wang Ji and Liu Yan’er, who were studying the poisonous flower. Then, he pointed forward with his left hand and sped up to chase after Li Changshou.

He was going to catch this person and throw it at Wang Ji for treatment!

A moment later, Jiu Jiu finally caught up with Li Changshou and traveled in the same way as when he advanced. However, when he looked down to learn it, he frowned even deeper.

The boy seemed to be using the Trace Hiding Amulet to conceal his aura. That would allow him to avoid detection from a faraway savage beast.

Moreover, Li Changshou did not risk flying. Instead, he used the brilliant Dragon Swimming Across Clouds footwork and caused shadows to form under his feet. This cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Soul Formation was at peak performance.

‘It's not true. Tripod potion hanging on this guy's waist.’.

Jiu Jiu pursed her nose after smelling a strange smell. He looked down to study it for a while, and then immediately looked surprised.

‘That's Red Poisonous Dragon Bows?!’

The Red Poisonous Dragon lives in the North Sea. They like to eat demons, venomous animals, and ordinary living things. However, they were too ruthless and carried out massacres everywhere. As a result, the already lacking luck of the dragon race had been exhausted. Tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon race had cleansed them.

‘The Red Poisonous Dragon Water is not considered a rare treasure, but it is still quite expensive. Where did this brat, Li Changshou, get it?’

Jiu Jiu's eyebrows twitched as she muttered, “This guy is quite ready. It seemed like he was really determined to find the potion. What potion is he looking for?”

Yuwen Ling's rough voice sounded behind him. “Eternal Elder, why don't you ask him?”

“No need. He would be a useless person even after ascending to immortality if he knew that he was training under the protection of an immortal.” Jiu Jiu stretched her body, then turned to face Yuwen Ling who was standing behind her. “Come go. We'll go and see how the royalties are from your house. Don't tell me that these Aunts are biased behind my back. ”

Yuwen Ling immediately nodded in response, looking extremely excited. He played the role of a perfectly loyal guard.

However, when Jiu Jiu turned to fly, Yuwen Ling took the black beetle from her thigh and threw it into the gray clouds below.

This move was very subtle, and it was only done when Jiu Jiu shifted her eternal consciousness to focus on the other four disciples. Although Jiu Jiu's cultivation level was much higher than Yuwen Ling's, he did not notice the subtle movements.

After the two of them flew, the beetle continued to fly with gray clouds, following Li Changshou up close.

…

“Eh?”

Li Changshou looked up at the sky. As he sped up, he saw something unusual. It was almost like there was a pair of eyes in the sky, watching him.

However, on closer inspection, he was unable to find anything strange.

‘Bibi-Master? Couldn't. His gaze felt evil.’

Li Changshou lived according to the principle of safety rather than regret. He stopped and conjured the seal with both hands. He muttered a few soft words, and a thin wave began to appear on the gray ground in front of him.

As he advanced forward, his body was quickly sucked to the ground. Instantly, he disappeared.

Li Changshou used one of the escape techniques of the Five Elements, Earth Escape.

A moment later, Li Changshou's figure appeared among the bushes 25 kilometers ahead. Around him, there were countless poisonous insects and several poisonous beasts running in all directions.

The feeling of being watched has indeed disappeared.

Li Changshou quickly found his position, lowered his head, and continued running forward. At the same time, he took out two talismans from within his sleeves, gluing one on each thigh. This helped him to speed up a small portion again.

Soul Movement Thousand-Mile Talisman—it is considered an ordinary talisman, which can increase the movement speed of the user. It was usually only used by cultivators in the early phases of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Li Changshou had already guessed that since there were five of them on this trip, it was likely that they would face extraordinary circumstances.

The Chaos Treasure Forest was extremely dangerous, but they were in the extreme outermost region of the Northern Continent. Cultivators in the Void Return Realm would easily be able to face danger as long as they were careful. That meant that the danger of the Chaos Treasure Forest was not very applicable.

However, the external factors, namely Yuwen Ling, whom they had met halfway through, Yuan Qing, who looked warm and kind all the time, as well as Youqin Xuanya, who looked cold on the outside, but it lacks intelligence inside, complicating the whole situation. Most importantly, Her Highness Youqin Xuanya was the royal princess of the secular world.

Li Changshou had his personal theory and strongly believed that there was some sort of story to be parsed there.

The person who had planned all this behind the scenes must have thought that there was no loophole in his plan. However, the noble guards in the secular world suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instead of going to the immortal sect head-on to explain the situation and resolve the situation by stopping Youqin Xuanya out. This is not logical!

‘Forget. It has nothing to do with me.’

As Li Changshou ran, he took out his simple map and studied it again. There was a bit of disappointment in his eyes.

If he had a choice, Li Changshou would choose not to come to such a dangerous place. It was completely against his principle of life, to stay in the mountain until he died of old age.

However, he had to do it for his master.

“Purity as priority and remain unaffected by others. Then, it will be easy to avoid all kinds of crimes!”

Li Changshou said to himself, cheering himself on. Then, he continued to speed through the black forest filled with poisonous obstacles.

A moment later, he felt like he was being watched once again.

He frowned and cursed in his heart just how troublesome this was. This time, Li Changshou did not expose any more escape techniques. Instead, he inspected the battle equipment in the storage of his Dharma treasures. His spiritual consciousness also began to look for a place to hide.

Although he was cautious, Li Changshou was not a coward. There is a difference between these two things.

A long period followed. Li Changshou continued to feel watched, but he did not find anyone hiding, nor did anyone try to kill him.

He remained vigilant for two days and two whole nights, displaying his Earth Escape technique a few more times. The feeling of being watched does not go away.

Li Changshou tried to analyze his current position. Of course, he was already deep within the Chaos Treasure Forest. He must have traveled beyond the bounds of Aunt Jiu Jiu's eternal consciousness.

He did not stop moving, but he did not feel tired. The hard training he had gone through for the previous few years proved to have a tremendous effect.

Suddenly, Li Changshou sensed killing intent!

Li Changshou's spiritual awareness did not detect any threat. It was clear that the other party had the means to avoid his spiritual awareness.

He observed the source of the killing intent— to his left, in the darkness of the forest. Li Changshou continued forward, but the tip of his left finger was already moving smooth, creating a thin rope, which resembled a spider web, and unfurled it. His right hand began to call out a gentle breeze, undetectable.

That is the best way to investigate—web spider from Three-headed Spider Pupils Strong.

Shortly after, a blurry image appeared in Li Changshou's heart.
