Outside Of Time

Chapter 949  Youʼre Afraid, Iʼm Afraid Too (4)

He had carefully examined the traces and deduced that the thiefʼs cultivation level should be at the Golden Core stage, which filled him with anger.

Moreover, he had scattered poison in his cave abode, so he followed the trail and found the thief.

With the help of the poisonʼs trail, he immediately confirmed that it was the other partyʼs doing the moment he looked at Chen Fanzhuo. His eyes couldnʼt help but reveal a cold glint and he was about to walk over.

However… at that moment, Chen Fanzhuo was at the entrance of Xu Qingʼs apothecary.

The old manʼs peripheral vision swept past Chen Fanzhuo. At the same time, he instinctively glanced at the scene in the apothecary.

There, he saw an ugly girl and an expressionless youth.

The instant he saw this youth, the old manʼs eyes narrowed and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His body gradually shivered uncontrollably and waves of emotions surged in his heart.

”Wha, wha, what…”

”Itʼs him!”

”Heʼs actually here!!”

The old manʼs breathing was hurried. It was as though a powerful lightning had exploded in his mind and it continued to rumble. He felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

His fear of Xu Qing had reached the extreme. Back then, Xu Qingʼs terrifying combat strength caused him to have lingering fears every time he thought of it.

Moreover, he had already judged the other party to be an old monster with a higher cultivation base than his. In addition, Xu Qingʼs sharp perception was also the reason why the old man was frightened.

Coupled with the ineffectiveness of his poison, he felt a boundless threat to his life at this moment.

The most important thing was that he came here with his main body!

Chen Fanzhuo was also as horrified as him. He had paid a considerable price to rob a cave abode some time ago.

The cave seemed abandoned for a long time, and he found many valuable items inside. After taking those items, he felt a mix of fear and anxiety. However, after observing for a while, he realized that no one came to investigate or track him down.

Hence, he had relaxed a little. After that, he sensed that he had been poisoned, so he came to the apothecary.

Earlier, when he heard Xu Qing telling him that he had been tracked and locked onto, he already felt that something was amiss.

Now that he had personally seen the main character, the fluctuations of the other partyʼs Nascent Soul caused him to fall into extreme fear. In fact, he seemed to be frozen in place. He could only stand there under the huge pressure and tremble. His body swayed as he barely spoke.

”Senior, calm down. I know my mistake… All the items are still here…”

However, his words were useless. The old man also didnʼt dare to move.

The old man no longer cared about the small matter of the cave abode being stolen.

Right now, what he was thinking about was how he could survive.

This scene looked bizarre from afar. Chen Fanzhuo looked at the old man in horror and the old man looked ahead in horror. The two of them didnʼt dare to lift their feet.

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

The old man didnʼt speak and Chen Fanzhuoʼs fear grew even more intense. Xu Qing didnʼt speak and the old manʼs fear was surging like waves in the sea.

In this life-and-death crisis, the old manʼs mind raced as he rapidly analyzed.

ʼThis is an apothecary. That ugly girl is the source of the fragrance. The attire sheʼs wearing clearly indicates sheʼs an assistant. This is the old monsterʼs apothecary!ʼ

ʼSince that Golden Core thief is so frightened, it means that heʼs not the old monsterʼs person. Thereʼs a high chance that he doesnʼt know the cultivation of the old monster.ʼ

ʼIt must be because the old monster doesnʼt want to be exposed. In that case, why is he hiding here?ʼ

ʼBecause he has some mysterious plan!ʼ

ʼMy appearance and performance might indirectly expose this old monsterʼs cultivation and affect his mysterious arrangements. In that case, he will definitely vent his anger on me.ʼ

ʼIf I turn around and escape, the same outcome will happen!ʼ

ʼI canʼt beat him or escape…ʼ

The old manʼs heart was extremely conflicted. When he was in a dilemma, his eyes turned red.

As Chen Fanzhuoʼs heart trembled even more, the old man gritted his teeth and took a step forward. The expression on his face instantly turned from solemn to ecstatic as he shouted excitedly.

”Benefactor, youʼre here too?”

Chen Fanzhuo was stunned.
