Yue Qing carefully analyzed the cause of the master's death. He believed it was very odd.
At that time, they said there were Yalong lizard beasts in the Burning Desert. Adult Yalong lizards are considered demon beasts, so a Golden Core cultivator must lead the hunt.
Qinggang disciples also needed to undergo trials, so it was normal to have a Golden Core lead.
During the outing, it was originally Master Nanmen at the seventh level of Golden Core to take charge—unstable combat strength, but to ensure the disciples' safety, it's always better to overestimate the opponent.
Of course, if the disciples could handle the Yalong lizards, the Golden Core wouldn't need to intervene.
There were seven disciples at the dust-free stage and over a hundred in the Qi Refinement Realm. Since the Qinggang Sect officially organized the trip, they certainly wouldn't just deal with the Yalong lizards; they were also to sweep through the designated area.
