Chapter 685: Getting on the Right Track
One month had passed since they discovered the traces of the Jiao.
Inside the cave dwelling, the old couple and the other three had already returned at some point. All five of them were in the main hall, looking restless. Only Qin Sang was absent.
"Daoist Master’s evasion speed is far beyond ours. Why hasn’t he returned by now? Could it be..."
The Wang Sisters frowned, their tone heavy with worry. "If something really happened to Daoist Master, would the guild blame us for our poor scouting and say we got him killed?"
The elderly couple still maintained some composure. "Daoist Master’s strength is extraordinary. Even a Demonic Core Realm demonic beast wouldn't easily be able to trap him. Don’t worry. Let’s wait another day. If—"
Before the old man could finish, the old woman’s expression suddenly shifted. She flickered and rushed out of the cave dwelling.
The others also sensed something at that moment and followed her in quick succession.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw a streak of sword light slicing through the sky. It circled once above the island before landing in front of them. It was Qin Sang.
The group collectively let out a long sigh of relief, joy washing over their faces.
"Senior, you’ve finally returned! Was there really a Demonic Core Realm demonic beast among that group of Jiao?"
Qin Sang nodded. "Yes. At the very least, it was at the middle stage of the Demonic Core Realm."
He hadn’t expected to encounter such danger during the final hunt.
