C229 A hidden cave

Qin Shaojie did not stay in the Lingyun City for long, on the second day after receiving the letter, the Gauguin found Qin Shaojie.

Regarding this, Qin Shaojie did not hesitate either.

The matter with Chen Yuner had let Qin Shaojie clearly know that it had been more than a year since the beginning, but it was not so. Especially since he still needed to properly cultivate and raise his own strength to reach this stage. Therefore, Qin Shaojie could leave the Great Yan Dynasty in peace only after he had dealt with it quickly.

Otherwise, if Qin Zhu did not handle the matter well, once she leaves Great Yan Dynasty, not only Qin Mai, the Tiangyou City Chen family, the Exquisite Auction House and even the Holy Flame Academy would be in trouble. After all, Qin Zhu couldn't let go of anyone who was related to him.

In this kind of situation, Qin Shaojie could only do whatever he wanted. Only by eliminating Qin Zhu would he be able to get the job done once and for all.

As for the future of the Great Yan Dynasty, it all depended on the luck they received. But no matter what, he would definitely return here in the future.

After briefing Wen Ya for a while, Qin Shaojie left with the Gauguin. Before they left, the two of them had gone through some disguise. After all, the current Qin Shaojie was too eye-catching, if they were to be careless, they would be targeted.

It had been five days since the disappearance of the Emperor and there were still no movements in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. There was not the slightest change, and many people even thought that everything was normal. However, it was under these circumstances that the undercurrents started to surge.

Presumably, Qin Zhu had already sent out a large number of experts to search secretly, and even sent a large number of experts to search for Qin Mai. All of these things were explained to him by Gauguin along the way, and were exactly the same as what Qin Shaojie had guessed.

It was a good thing that Qin Mai was smart and had hidden all of his trusted aides and followers in advance. Even if Qin Zhu wanted to look for him, the huge Great Yan Dynasty was not something that he could find in the vast sea of people. Of course, Qin Zhu was not an idiot. From the disappearance of Qin Mai and his relatives, she could vaguely guess that this matter was definitely not unrelated to him.

But right now, Qin Mai was also extremely anxious. With Qin Zhu mobilizing more and more power and means, if they couldn't quickly revive the emperor, they would still be unable to completely escape Qin Zhu's detection in the end.

Gauguin brought Qin Shaojie and traveled carefully, picking out small paths and no one knew, and even secretly observed to see if there were people following them. Fortunately, this time, the operation was quite covert, so there was no one following them. The two of them had completely suppressed their own auras as they quietly headed toward the location where Qin Mai was hiding the emperor.

Fortunately, the Gauguin had been in the Ma Clan for a long time, and was very familiar with the paths in the Great Yan Dynasty. After all, if something were to happen to the Ma Clan, the best way for them to escape would be to leave the official road and choose between the paths.

Even Qin Shaojie couldn't help but admire Gauguin's methods. It was no wonder that even after being a horse gang Gauguin for so many years, he was still safe and sound. Even Qin Shaojie did not completely remember this path, and if it were anyone else, it would be extremely difficult to achieve it.

Finally, at the entrance of a seemingly ordinary valley, the Gauguin stopped in his tracks. This place was quite far from the city, and even the nearest village was at least a hundred miles away. Besides the chirping of the birds and the flowing of the stream, there were no other signs. It was difficult to sense the breath of a martial artist even in the air.

Qin Shaojie squinted his eyes slightly, everything here looked extremely normal, but from the looks of the Gauguin, Qin Shaojie knew that this was Qin Mei's real resting place and temporary resting place.

As expected, as the Gauguin entered the valley, under the cover of the lush trees, the light from the sky could penetrate through the dense tree branches and leaves, but it would be extremely difficult for anyone flying in the sky to see what was happening inside through these small holes.

There were still no signs of human activity within the valley. In the end, at the end of the valley, a huge cave appeared before Qin Shaojie's eyes.

At the entrance of the cave, several figures were currently sitting on top of it like fishermen. However, these people's appearance caused Qin Shaojie to frown, and even though there were no auras amongst these people, the despicable and fierce gaze on his hands allowed Qin Shaojie to know that these people were definitely practitioner practitioners.

"Everyone is inside."

From then on, Gauguin spoke to Qin Shaojie in a deep voice. This was where Qin Mai had hidden himself. Then, he waved to the few of them, and the newcomers also nodded at each other when they saw the Gauguin, but their gazes landed on Qin Shaojie, it was clear that they had never seen Qin Shaojie before, and continued to use their divine senses to size up Qin Shaojie, as though they could see through him.

Seeing this, Gauguin felt rather embarrassed, the current situation was extremely tense. Even if Qin Mai was here, he would have to accept their examination. It wasn't because they didn't trust him, but because they were powerful in that they were able to check if there were any imprints left on their bodies by outsiders.

If they found any marks left by an outsider, they would immediately move on to the other side.

Hearing that, Qin Shaojie was also surprised, this kind of method was something that only talented people would have, even Qin Shaojie did not have such a method, it seemed like all these years, Qin Mei had truly brought many talented people into the network.

Then, Qin Shaojie followed the Gauguin into the cave.

The cave was wider than he had imagined, and although it was simple, it had all the necessities of a normal life. His gaze swept over the mountain cave and found that the cave wall was extremely smooth. One could tell that it was not naturally formed but meticulously constructed. Obviously, this cave was not formed out of thin air. Qin Mai must have thought of this day and planned to leave behind a backup plan for him.

After entering the cave, they noticed that there were a few warriors who appeared from time to time. All of them seemed to not say a word, but the aura they gave off was extremely tyrannical, almost at the Three Spiritual Realms level. Every time these warriors saw Qin Shaojie's aura, there would be movements, and if not for the presence of Gauguin, they would have long ago intercepted him.

After entering the deepest part of the cave, Qin Shaojie had lost a bit. There were at least thirty Three Spiritual Realm Warriors s and this amount was indeed quite a lot. The most important thing was that Qin Shaojie was sure that what was here was not Qin Mai's full strength.

Everyone was very clear on the principle of not putting the eggs in the same basket, let alone Qin Mai.

It appeared in the deepest part of the cave. It was an orderly and smooth stone wall. It seemed as if the stone wall had been forcefully cut down by someone. Looking at the stone wall, Qin Shaojie secretly nodded his head, most of the stone wall was made from meteorites falling from the sky, even if a Spirit Sea Realm expert were to use all their strength, they would not be able to destroy it.

Even though he was only the crown prince, he was still quite generous. However, compared to Qin Zhu, it was much better.

No wonder they said that the imperial court was extremely wealthy, and it seemed that it was indeed so now.

Gauguin gently placed his palm on the stone wall, and then, he stealthily channeled his profound energy into the stone wall. Not long after, a voice sounded from within the stone wall. "Who is it?"

"I, have brought Young Master Qin Shaojie over."

After the Gauguin responded, a pinhole like small crack actually appeared on the stone wall, then immediately after, one of the eyes inside could vaguely be felt looking towards the Gauguin and Qin Shaojie.

Not long after, a low and deep rumbling sound came from the stone wall as well.

"You're finally here, brother Shaojie!"

The first person to walk out from the stone wall was Qin Mai, obviously because he was extremely excited about Qin Shaojie's appearance. He quickly greeted them.

Behind this stone wall was a different world. It was not just a house. On the contrary, it could be said to be a small space. There were mountains, water, buildings, everything that should be there was there.

And inside, Qin Shaojie also realized that there were more warriors, there was even the Earthly Yuan Stage expert that followed Qin Mai to attack together.

Just as Qin Mei was walking forward with Qin Shaojie, Elder Ye hurried over as well. Seeing that Qin Shaojie was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Since they arrived here, in order to ensure their safety, they had practically cut off all contact with the outside world. After all, if they were discovered by Qin Zhu's men, then everyone would truly be in danger.

"Right, where is the Emperor?"

Qin Shaojie also did not have time to exchange pleasantries, as the main mission this time was the emperor's injuries. The current Elder Ye was already a Tier 4 Alchemist Heavenly Shi Master. With that kind of technique and ability, he could almost revive the dead. If even Elder Ye could not handle it, it meant that the situation was truly a little complicated.

This was one of the reasons why Qin Shaojie hurried over. After all, the longer he dragged on, the worse his condition would be.

Qin Shaojie's words caused everyone's expression to turn serious. Now, everyone was betting on themselves and if they lost, unless they were to conceal themselves and leave their homes, the world would definitely not have any place for them to hide.

"Behind there."

Qin Mai pointed at the last spot in this space. At this moment, he did not dare to be negligent.

But no matter what, Qin Shaojie's appearance gave everyone hope. After all, Qin Shaojie had indeed created too many miracles this year!
