This woman was naturally Duan Meng!

With this thought in mind, Qin Qi had already made up his mind. He pushed his speed to the maximum and sprinted all the way, heading towards the location of the barren mountain dry well.

The secretary on the left and Wang Qiang suffered for this frenzied run.

The secretary on the left frowned, "This kid seems to have detected that I'm tracking him..."

Wang Qiang looked surprised, "No, this kid's just a country bumpkin, how does he know something like the Tracking Technique?"

The secretary on the left said gravely, "Have you ever seen a country boy who can perform Cloud Steps? This kid has many secrets, otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to confront General Cai!"

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly, "Secretary, what do we do now?"

The secretary on the left said sternly, "What else can we do? Naturally, we keep chasing him. I want to see just how much True Qi this kid has in him!"

"Hmph, if we don't take him down in one go, where would my reputation go? Plus, if we miss this chance, once the Governance Department's shift change is over, we'll only be able to go back and wait for General Cai's punishment!"

Wang Qiang, hearing that the secretary was also getting angry, felt a dark joy in his heart.

As long as the secretary keeps making moves, Qin Qi will have no way out but death.

At this point, even his True Qi is nearly spent, he doesn't believe Qin Qi can hold on much longer!

Time passed by, minute by minute.

With the help of the Tracking Technique, the secretary on the left could constantly lock onto Qin Qi's position.

Qin Qi was sprinting ahead, while the two pursued desperately behind him.

This continued for over two hours!

The secretary on the left and Wang Qiang were both cursing internally!

They both had the same thought in their minds!

"No, just how much True Qi does this kid have inside him?"

Is his True Qi inexhaustible?

The reason why Qin Qi's True Qi hadn't been exhausted yet was, in essence, due to the Source Celestial Scripture.

"Based on estimates, my amount of True Qi is a bit more than Wang Qiang's!" Qin Qi murmured to himself, "But even so, after traveling a long distance, my True Qi is still greatly diminished, with not much left!"

Though reaching true strength makes one incredibly fast, in a long journey, it's still considerably less efficient than a car.

"Fortunately, we're nearly there!" Sweat subtly dripped from Qin Qi's forehead.

The closer he got, the more uncertain he felt in his heart.

After all, even after rescuing Duan Meng, he wasn't sure if the first person she'd want to eliminate was himself or the other two!

Nevertheless, given the circumstances, he could only trust the training he'd provided in his dreams!

"Qin Qi, those two are catching up again," a mysterious woman responded.

Qin Qi, having just rested for a moment, inhaled sharply when he heard this, "These two are really like a dog skin plaster!"

He didn't dare to stop, seeing that the time was approaching dawn, he took advantage of the dim night and once again pushed his speed to the limit.

Not long after, where Qin Qi had disappeared, two more figures appeared.

It was the secretary on the left and Wang Qiang.

The secretary on the left felt the direction of Qin Qi's disappearance, anger rising on his somber face, "That bastard, how can he run so far? Very well, well, let me catch him. Otherwise, I definitely won't let him off lightly!"

With those words, the two figures disappeared once more, hastily chasing after him.

Finally,

Over an hour passed again.

Qin Qi's pace began to slow!

He had arrived within the barren mountain.

His appearance caused the Chen family guards there to shiver, and upon recognizing Qin Qi, they quickly spoke with respect, "Mr., Mr. Qin!"

Qin Qi glanced around, "I have an emergency. If you don't want to die, you better evacuate this mountain quickly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Afterwards, he couldn't be bothered to say more and directly dived into the deep well with a single breath.

The Chen family bodyguards looked at each other, puzzled.

"Should we heed Mr. Qin's advice?"

"What are you still dawdling for? Mr. Qin told us to leave, so we leave. With Mr. Qin's capabilities now, even if he wants to take the treasure within this dry well for himself, our young master would only applaud and say it's well deserved. What right do we have to question Mr. Qin's words?"

"Let's go!"

Everyone left without questioning Qin Qi's words.

As everyone dispersed, the secretary on the left and Wang Qiang quickly chased after.

Wang Qiang looked around, "Did that kid escape again?"

The secretary on the left gently sniffed with his nose, "No, the True Qi mark I planted is nearby."

Soon.

His gaze directed towards the direction of the dry well.

"Oh? Hiding?" The secretary on the left scoffed, "I initially thought this kid had seen through my Tracking Technique. Now it seems I've overestimated him, hiding in this dry well, thinking I wouldn't realize it?"

Wang Qiang smirked, "He's hiding in the dry well? Haha, Secretary, let me go in first and scout it for you!"

With that, Wang Qiang leaped directly in.

Meanwhile.

Qin Qi had already arrived inside the ancient temple beneath the dry well.

Duan Meng, trapped within the statue, noticed Qin Qi's arrival and was slightly stunned.

Because she had been waiting for Qin Qi all night, yet she hadn't encountered him in the dream!

She didn't expect that Qin Qi would directly come to this ancient temple to find her. What was he intending to do?

"Duan Meng!"

Looking at the stunning statue, Qin Qi said with his hands behind his back, "I, Qin Qi, always keep my promises. Since I've made an agreement with you, and given your impressive display in the dream!"

"There's no reason for me not to help you out of your predicament, now I'll rescue you!"

His words were just and firm.

Then, he gathered all his True Qi into his palm!

Duan Meng had told him before that with true strength, he could directly break this statue by brute force!

He transformed his remaining True Qi into a powerful palm strike, blasting it onto the statue!

"Crack, crack..."

Soon, the sound of shattering reached Qin Qi's ears.

"It's working!" His eyes lit up.

But just then.

A figure fell from above through the deep pond and entered the ancient temple.

Looking closely, it was Wang Qiang.

Soon after Wang Qiang landed, the cold silhouette of the secretary on the left also descended.

Wang Qiang surveyed his surroundings, his gaze finally resting on Qin Qi. He grinned fawningly at the secretary on the left, "Secretary, I didn't expect there to be a hidden world down here, and Qin Qi, he's been hiding here all along!"

The secretary on the left frowned, "This place is a bit strange, with a hidden space beneath the dry well, it seems to be a rather ancient sealing method. But given the current situation, there's no time to think about it!"

"Kid, you've been quite the escape artist, so what, your True Qi is running low, that's why you hid here?"

Seeing how quickly the secretary and Wang Qiang had chased him, Qin Qi's heart sank.

His only hope now was to shatter Duan Meng's statue.

"There's just a little bit of True Qi left!"

"I must break this statue seal!"

Qin Qi gritted his teeth, using his last resort, he charged at the statue with a palm strike!

"I have to break it!"
