"According to the agreement, if you take us out of the forest, I will pay you." The gray-robed leader said calmly.

"But unfortunately, it seems that the situation has changed. This monk can no longer lead the way. So we can't be blamed for breaking the contract."

"You want to break the contract?" Elder Jing said displeased.

"My nephew is probably just overtired. He just needs to rest for a while and he will recover."

"And you have followed for more than half the distance, and now that the end is so close, it would be a bit inappropriate to leave like this."

Although Qin Cheng's interests were involved, Elder Jing himself didn't know why, but he subconsciously spoke up to seek benefits for Qin Cheng.

"If we need to rest for a while, then we can wait. But how long will that be? Half a day, one day, or three days and five days?" The gray-robed leader chuckled.

"We don't have so much time to waste here. If it is within one day, we are willing to wait."

"this……"

Elder Jing was speechless.

I don't even know why Qin Cheng suddenly started practicing, so how could he possibly give him time?

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. We can't spend time here forever."

Seeing Elder Jing speechless, the gray-robed leader shook his head.

"Of course, you helped lead this long journey, and we will not burn bridges across the river. When you get to the city, you can come to us. I will compensate you and others with rewards such as spiritual stones and fairy grass."

"

"Of course, there is another way to repay you."

"Now there are only a few hundred meters away from the big city, and your leader is obviously in trouble. You can follow us, and maybe we can get you out of the forest faster."

This group of gray-robed men were able to reach their previous position only because they were followed by masters who knew the formation.

Although I was injured due to excessive consumption of my consciousness before, I have recovered a lot after such a long time.

And there are only a few hundred meters left, so close.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we will stay here and wait. Please do as you please."

Seeing that the other party had already decided to leave, Elder Jing didn't give much advice.

As for the invitation, he didn't hesitate for too long and refused it directly.

Compared to these gray-robed men, he trusted Qin Cheng more.

"Then feel free to do whatever you want, see you later."

The gray-robed leader didn't care about this. He glanced at a monk behind him, and then everyone slowly crossed the crowd and began to walk forward.

Next, when the Mingzhou cultivators were waiting for Qincheng, they watched these people gradually move away, leaving the area where they were little by little, getting closer and closer towards the city.

Although these gray-robed men walked very slowly, and sometimes had to go backwards and change directions, they were far slower than Qin Cheng's speed.

But there were no mistakes along the way, and we were always on the right path.

Seeing that the other party was about to arrive at their destination, everyone's moods also fluctuated a bit. They wondered whether it was a better choice to leave with these people.

"Fellow Taoists, if you are willing to follow me, you still have a chance."

After walking more than three hundred meters, the gray-robed leader turned back and looked at Elder Jing and others again.

This time, Elder Jing's complexion changed slightly, and his expression kept flickering.

I didn't trust these guys before. After all, I was trapped and had to be rescued by Qin Cheng. Any tampering might cause new troubles.

But now, this group of people is obviously capable of walking out of the forest.

At this time, on one side was Qin Cheng who was sitting cross-legged for some reason, and on the other side was a man in gray robe who was only about a hundred meters away from the city.

At this time, the mentality completely changed.

Elder Jing also had no doubt that if he refused again, the other party would probably not ask again.

These two inquiries should be based on Qin Cheng's previous help and kindness in return, but we cannot expect the other party to show kindness again and again.

Then can they also leave with the gray-robed man?

As for Qin Cheng, Zheng Ling can be taken with him, so that even if Qin Cheng wakes up, there will be no risk.

"Since a few fellow Taoists are willing to help, then we..."

With a slight cough, Elder Jing gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Rather than being trapped here, it would be better to go out and talk.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an indifferent voice.

"Although you have good intentions, if you don't want to waste all your efforts, I advise you not to continue leaving."

"Senior Brother Qiu, you wake up!"

The cultivators in Mingzhou were startled for a moment, and then they immediately cheered up when they saw Qin Cheng standing up slowly and regaining his energy again.

Unexpectedly, Qin Cheng woke up at this time.

"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean?"

Qin Cheng's words were obviously meant for the man in gray robe.

The gray-robed leader frowned and asked.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just my original intention. The path you are taking now is wrong. If you take...well, three steps, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you will definitely regret this choice."

Qin Cheng smiled slightly, twisted his neck and said.

Although I stayed in the medicine refining space for eight days.

But in fact, he has not solved the chaotic divine pattern yet, and has only cracked half of it so far.

However, just like the previous divine pattern chain, as long as the divine pattern can be loosened, the backlash will be partially alleviated.

Qin Cheng just tried it. Detecting divine patterns in a short time will no longer cause headaches.

"My fellow Taoist's words are a bit ridiculous."

"I think you are worried about losing the residual picture, so you are lying to us, right?"

"We have been on the right path all the way. Now we are only one step away from the outer edge of the forest. Do you think we are going the wrong way?"

Regarding Qin Cheng's warning, everyone in the gray robe did not believe it, but laughed at it.

According to the previous agreement between the two parties, they would hand over the scroll to Qin Cheng only after Qin Cheng took them out.

But now, during the journey, due to Qincheng's problems, the gray-robed people found their own way out. In this way, when the journey is over, even if Qincheng is not given the residual map scroll, the ancestral blood will not come back to them.

Therefore, if Qin Cheng wants to get the scroll, he must let them come back and lead the way again.

"You can understand this, but it will cost you a heavy price." Qin Cheng said casually.

"Elder, as he said, give it a try."

Keeping a deep look at Qin Cheng, not seeing any trace of panic or nervousness in Qin Cheng's expression, the gray-robed leader turned to look at an old man.

"Sir, how do you try this?" The old man was stunned.

"I remember that the elders have things like puppets in their hands. Just let them test them according to the route we deduced." The gray-robed leader said cautiously.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

Qin Cheng is so confident that he is not sure whether he is pretending or not.

But if there is a real problem, then they are really out of luck.

"Okay. But sir, I don't think there is anything wrong with this road."

The elder shook his head slightly, as if he didn't believe Qin Cheng's statement at all.
