Chapter 550: Summons
Qin Sang followed them into the black cloud and greeted the Xuanlu Guards under Qiu Mubai’s command, most of whom were disciples of Shangyuan Tranquility Palace and Shaohua Mountain. Once formalities were exchanged, Qin Sang naturally took orders and joined the operation.
This black cloud was, in fact, a special forbidden artifact capable of stabilizing spiritual qi. With it, they could engage in combat without being disturbed by the chaotic spiritual qi in the environment.
However, it was said that this type of artifact had limited power and could only function during the low tide of the Spirit Tide.
Xuanlu Stronghold had its own Core Formation experts to clear out large swaths of Cloud Beasts. The role of the Xuanlu Guards was simply to fill in gaps or relay information. The danger was minimal, though accidents could happen, as in the case of Yu Yangzi’s unfortunate death.
Qiu Mubai was clearly curious about Qin Sang, and the two conversed pleasantly.
Qin Sang was a skilled Cloud Beast slayer. With his help, the team quickly completed their mission and returned to Xuanlu Stronghold.
"Junior Brother Qin, you should first head to Junpan Mountain to register yourself. We’ll talk more another day," said Qiu Mubai.
Then, after a moment of thought, his expression turned serious. "Junior Brother Qin, with your temperament, you shouldn’t be afraid of rumors from the outside. If any of our fellow disciples speak nonsense, just let me know. I’ll deal with them for you."
Qin Sang was taken aback, then cupped his hands. "Many thanks, Senior Brother Qiu."
After parting ways with Qiu Mubai, Qin Sang proceeded to Junpan Mountain to report and register his service record. While there, he also rented a cave dwelling in the city. The price was steep, and even Qin Sang felt a pang of pain at the cost.
Though the military compound offered free dwellings, Qin Sang needed to heal the flying yaksha. This was something far too inconvenient to manage in a shared space.
He then went to find Wandering Man.
