Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 332 - 315: You Still Want to Run Now?

Upon hearing Qin Qing’s words about not fearing Lu Yu’an, Qin Ren, Zhu Shuangyu, and Sui Jin all revealed a slightly strange expression.

Undoubtedly, in their opinion, what Qin Qing said was probably just youthful bravado.

"Qin Qing, you do need to go to Heifeng Valley to save your father," Qin Ren added. "However, no matter what, Qin Qing, you still need to be careful of Lu Yu’an..."

"I will!" Qin Qing nodded with a smile.

"Then, Brother Qin... since you’ve decided to go to Heifeng Valley, let’s go there together!" Sui Jin said.

"Alright!" Qin Qing glanced at Sui Jin’s injuries, "Brother Sui, with your current condition, perhaps you should withdraw from the Spring Hunt?"

Sui Jin’s arm had been severed by a Ferocious Beast, and if the severed limb could be retrieved, it could be reattached.

The fear was that the severed limb was now nowhere to be found.

If the missing part of the arm wasn’t available, regrowing it from scratch would be exceedingly difficult, requiring the mythical medicinal herbs of legend.

Herbs that could bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and mend bones.

The so-called ’bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and mend bones’ meant to revive a person who had just died and to make flesh grow again over bare bones.

Of course, bringing the dead back to life did not mean reviving someone who had genuinely died, but rather someone who had just passed away and still retained a breath of life, or whose body still held a touch of vitality, not yet withered away. Only such a person, seemingly dead, could possibly come back to life.

At this moment, Sui Jin took out his severed limb from his Spirit Ring.

Thankfully... Sui Jin had managed to wrestle his severed limb from the jaws of that tiger-like Ferocious Beast right when it was bitten off.

"There’s no reason to withdraw!" Sui Jin’s face was filled with determination, "I’ll reattach my arm now, please wait a moment for me."

After saying that, Sui Jin cleaned the area of the severed limb, then reconnected the limb to his arm. He took out a rope to securely tie and fasten the wound, fixing the severed arm to his body.

It was impossible for the severed arm to recover in a short period of time.

Even with the best Spirit Pills, it would still take some time for the severed arm to heal anew.

However, Sui Jin did not seem to care. After taking the Spirit Pill, he insisted on setting off immediately.

——

At this time, at the entrance of Heifeng Valley.

Two other teams had already arrived one after another.

The team of the Seventh Prince, Qin Zheng, consisted of Lu Yu’an, Shen Gongyuan, Du Yuan, and Xu Wenjian.

The team of the Fourth Prince, Qin Yuan, was made up of Pei Hong, Qin Zhantian, and Zhao Qilin.

"Master Yu An, we still haven’t found that Qin Qing..." Shen Gongyuan stood by Lu Yu’an’s side and turned to him.

"Still not found?" Lu Yu’an’s face darkened.

He had searched for a long time in Tianjue Forest as well, but had not found Qin Qing.

After all, Tianjue Forest was so vast that it was extremely difficult to locate Qin Qing inside it.

"Master Yu An, could it be that Qin Qing has fled out of fear?" Shen Gongyuan ventured again.

"Unlikely!" Lu Yu’an shook his head, "Qin Qing is not someone who would run away. If he were truly afraid, he wouldn’t have joined this Spring Hunt, and he certainly wouldn’t have had the courage to kill my brother!"

"He will come! I believe it!" Lu Yu’an whispered as if also reassuring himself.

"Then we might as well wait here," Du Yuan suggested nearby.

"We can’t just wait here..." Lu Yu’an turned back and glanced behind him. Less than a hundred yards away, a Ritual Officer from the Great Qian Royal Family stood there.

He was a surveillance officer for this spring hunt.

Entering Heifeng Valley, one must report to him.

And the place where he was located was the entrance to Heifeng Valley, which was also the safe point mentioned in the previous rules.

As long as Qin Qing reached the safe point and reported to this Ritual Officer, then Lu Yu’an couldn’t kill Qin Qing!

"Let’s move a bit farther out and hide... As soon as Qin Qing appears, we will kill him directly!" Lu Yu’an said coldly.

...

Qin Qing quickly followed Qin Ren, Sui Jin, and Zhu Shuangyu as they arrived at the entrance of Heifeng Valley according to the map.

"It’s just ahead!" Qin Ren pointed forward; they could already see a Ritual Officer standing at the entrance to Heifeng Valley.

It would only take the time it takes to drink tea to get there from where they were.

"Qin Qing... if we encounter Lu Yu’an later, you just rush forward, and I will find a way to hold him back," Qin Ren whispered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing simply smiled.

"Thank you, Ninth Highness. However... there’s no need!" Qin Qing replied.

Before Qin Qing’s words had fallen, a cold laugh came from beside them: "Indeed, there’s no need for that now."

Lu Yu’an had already stepped out.

Also, there were Shen Gongyuan, Du Yuan, and Xu Wenjian, all standing by his side.

"Qin Qing! You’ve been quite good at hiding. I haven’t found you all day!" Lu Yu’an said coldly as he looked at Qin Qing.

"Hide?" Qin Qing raised an eyebrow, "You’re overthinking it. I have no need to hide from you."

"Master Lu!" It was at this moment that Qin Ren spoke, "Could the grudge between you and Qin Qing be settled after this spring hunt?"

Upon hearing Qin Ren’s words, Lu Yu’an couldn’t help but sneer, "Settle it after the spring hunt?"

"He should’ve died long ago. It was your Royal Family that wanted to protect him and let him participate in this spring hunt!"

"And it was already said that no one can stop me from killing him once the spring hunt starts! How is it, Qin Ren, do you think the words your father has spoken can be taken lightly?" Lu Yu’an said with a cold gaze upon Qin Ren.

Before Qin Ren could speak, Qin Qing interrupted, "Ninth Highness. This private grudge between Lu Yu’an and me is not related to you, Ninth Highness. There’s no need for you to get involved!"

Qin Qing knew that it would not be good for Qin Ren to get involved now.

The private grudge between him and Lu Yu’an was also a feud between him and the Lu Clan. Emperor Qin Sheng had surely negotiated with Lu Tianlong late at night.

Qin Sheng had gotten the opportunity for Qin Qing to participate in the spring hunt, but at the concession that during the hunt, Lu Yu’an could kill Qin Qing at any time.

If Qin Ren were to intervene now, it would indeed lead the Qin Imperial Clan and the Lu Clan into unnecessary complications.

And then, Qin Ren would inevitably be the first to be caught up in the vortex.

Having already considered Qin Ren a friend, Qin Qing naturally did not want to drag his friend into these troubled waters.

"Qin Qing, wait, I’ll go report for you now!" Seeing the Ritual Officer in the back, Qin Ren glanced and quickly sprinted towards the entrance of Heifeng Valley.

Sui Jin and Zhu Shuangyu, on the other hand, stood behind Qin Qing, showing no intention of avoiding Lu Yu’an.

"Brother Sui, Brother Zhu. Thanks for your good intentions, but... there’s no need for you two to get involved in this matter," Qin Qing said to Zhu Shuangyu and Sui Jin with a cupped fist salute, and then he turned around and walked away.

"Trying to escape now??"

Seeing Qin Qing turn to leave, Lu Yu’an sneered, thinking that Qin Qing was trying to flee. Immediately, he stepped forward, his figure chasing after Qin Qing like lightning...
