165 For no other reason than to piss off the Qiao family
Even though he was planning to kill the little girl once he got the information, the fact that he had to pay 20,000 high-quality spirit stones at once really made Qiao Ye feel heartbroken.
He gritted his teeth and took out another bag of spirit stones, then threw it into Jiang Xiao's hands with a sullen look.
The emerald green light in Jiang Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. Holding the spiritual stone bag filled with spiritual energy in both hands, he uttered a small exclamation: "Wow!"
Senior sister is so nice. She even thought of getting a copy for him even though she was trying to cheat him out of money.
Qiao Ye rolled his eyes secretly.
Look at how you look like you have never seen the world. Are you so amazed by just ten thousand high-quality spirit stones?
Country bumpkin.
There is no way these two kids are disciples of Tianshui Sect. They might have picked up the jade identity token.
"Okay, tell us where Qiao Xu is." Qiao Ye urged impatiently.
"He's there." Jiang Xin pointed in the direction of Tianshui Sect.
Yunming City is said to be at the foot of Tianshui Sect’s mountain, but in fact it is still some distance away from Tianshui Sect.
Jiang Xin simply pointed like this, and Qiao Ye was unable to obtain any useful information at all: "Tell me the exact location."
It’s hard to say about Jiang Xin.
The fourth senior brother might be practicing in Jiang Yunfeng’s own cave, or he might be going to other senior brothers and sisters to learn from each other, or he might be buying the materials needed to make puppets in the commercial street.
Jiang Xin was very honest and selective: "I don't know his exact location, but I can take you to see him."
Qiao Ye gritted his teeth, always feeling that this little girl was playing tricks on him.
Seeing his worried look, his subordinate whispered, "Master, it's more important to find someone. Otherwise, let this girl lead us there first. As for how to hide it from the Yunming City guards..."
He looked embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.
Jiang Xin said enthusiastically: "We can avoid going through the city gate. I know a small path."
Qiao Ye's mind moved, and he immediately signaled Jiang Xin to lead the way.
…
Half an incense stick later, looking at a small hole at the city gate that was less than half a person's height, Qiao Ye fell into deep thought: "You want me to crawl through a dog hole?"
Jiang Xin refused to admit it: "A dog hole is a dog hole. Are you a dog?"
Qiao Ye also did not admit it.
Jiang Xin was confident: "So this is not a dog hole."
She kept coming up with one twisted reason after another, and Qiao Ye knew very well that this girl was most likely trying to fool him.
But he really had no other choice. He was afraid that after missing this opportunity, he would miss the best time to capture Qiao Xu.
After struggling for a while, Qiao Ye told Jiang Xiao, "You go first."
Jiang Xiao was stunned when he was suddenly called and looked at Jiang Xin.
Seeing Jiang Xin agreed, he walked towards the dog hole.
He was small, so he only needed to bend down to pass through the small hole. After a while, he walked out of the city: "I'm out."
Seeing that he didn't encounter any accidents, Qiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and signaled his men to go over.
The adults had to crawl on all fours to barely move forward in this narrow dog hole.
After two people got through it safely, Qiao Ye felt relieved.
After signaling his men to keep an eye on Jiang Xin, he endured the humiliation, bent down, knelt on his knees, and slowly approached the dog hole.
Jiang Xin quietly took out the photo stone.
If for no other reason, it would be to make the Qiao family angry to death when we go to Xizhou to attack Huanglong in the future.
She was small and cooperative along the way, so the Qiao family members were not too wary of her.
As a result, Jiang Xin successfully recorded the entire process of Qiao Ye climbing the dog hole without anyone noticing.
A group of people walked out of the dog hole one after another and headed in the direction Jiang Xin pointed.
She and Jiang Xiao had short legs and walked slowly, so Qiao Ye sent someone to carry them.
Lying on the stranger's shoulder, Jiang Xiao stared at the inconspicuous dog hole on the city wall and fell into deep thought.
Why is there such a hole in the intact city wall?
He attended classes well today and learned a lot of basic knowledge about the world of cultivation.
The entire Yunming City is covered by a formation. No matter who sneaks in from where, they will be detected by the formation, and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and the guards on the city tower will arrive immediately.
The wall of Yunming City is so new, it looks like it has just been renovated, how could there be such a big dog hole left?
Jiang Xiao was full of doubts but had no place to talk, so he planned to ask Jiang Xin after there were no outsiders around.
Suddenly, he noticed that as they went away, the inconspicuous dog hole was slowly getting smaller, just like a wound slowly healing.
After a while, the dog hole disappeared and the city wall returned to its previous integrity, and there was no sign that there had ever been a hole there.
Jiang Xiao was even more confused and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xin, and saw Jiang Xin winking at him cunningly.
Jiang Xiao didn’t quite understand, but he guessed that his senior sister was trying to trick him. He couldn’t help but admire her cleverness and wanted to take out a little notebook to record his studies.
On the city wall of Yunming City, Zhao Shi’s puppet and two senior brothers and sisters who came to help Jiang Xin were looking far ahead, watching every move of Qiao Ye and his group.
They restrained their aura, and with their Nascent Soul stage cultivation it was easy for them to hide from Qiao Ye and the others who were only at the Golden Core stage.
Jiang Xin brought his men to the city gate and muttered about finding a small way out. Although his voice was not loud, it could not be hidden from the Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the city wall.
The disciples of Tianshui Sect had a tacit understanding when doing things. The monks guarding the city immediately took control of the Yunming City formation and opened a dog hole for Jiang Xin on the city wall.
Moreover, the size of this dog hole is just enough for Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao to walk in, and the rest of the people can only crawl through.
The tall and continuous mountains of Tianshui Sect stand in the distance, among the drifting white clouds and mountain mists. From afar, it looks like a splash-ink landscape painting.
Qiao Ye and his group were walking at the foot of the mountain, looking as small as slowly crawling ants.
Thinking of the situation after they were tricked by Jiang Xin to Tianshui Sect, the Yuanying stage sister who had just helped Jiang Xin to dig a dog hole in the city wall couldn't bear it and laughed: "Being tricked by a child who was born not long ago, I don't know if these people's hearts will be broken."
The senior brother next to him sneered, "It's good that they broke. They can threaten even children. How can they be good? Fortunately, Xinxin is gifted and controlled them. If it were an ordinary child, they would have died long ago. I just don't know why Xinxin insisted on bringing them back to the sect."
These people's cultivation is not high. If they commit crimes and need to be punished, the Law Enforcement Hall of Yunming City can handle it.
"Maybe there is something we don't know about. Let's take a look first." Seeing these people walking away, the senior sister followed them quietly, secretly protecting the safety of Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao.
Zhao Shi’s puppet was only at the Jindan stage of cultivation. If he got too close, he would easily be noticed by the other party, so he followed from a distance.
For some reason, he always felt that this guy named Qiao Ye looked a bit like his master.
…
With the speed of ordinary people, it takes three or four days to walk from Yunming City to Tianshui Sect.
After all, Qiao Ye and his companions were Jindan cultivators born into a prestigious family. After they thought they were out of Yunming City's surveillance range, they took out their flying magic tools and flew forward quickly.
It was a flying carpet that could seat ten people at once when activated.
They knew that Tianshui Sect was nearby, but they didn't know the exact distance between Tianshui Sect and Yunming City.
However, Qiao Ye felt uneasy because he had not found Qiao Xu for such a long time after leaving Yunming City.
Glancing at Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao who were playing cat's tangle in front of the carpet, the subordinate whispered to Qiao Ye, "Master, could this girl be lying to us? We're going into the mountains. If Qiao Xu is really in the mountains, how would this girl know?"
"Maybe she met Qiao Xu in the mountains with her family." Qiao Ye held up the gourd buckle inlaid with South Pearls and blue diamonds on his waist thoughtfully.
The South Pearl emits a warm, light glow that seems to be able to soothe people's hearts.
After he injected spiritual power into it, the blue diamond slowly started to move. The triangle swayed unsteadily in the direction they were heading, and then quickly returned to its original shape.
This thing can help them locate Qiao Xu's position, but there are layers of formation protection near Yunming City and Tianshui Sect, which seriously interferes with the operation of this secret treasure, and they are unable to further locate Qiao Xu's location.
However, the secret treasure worked several times and pointed in the direction he was heading, which meant that Jiang Xin did not lie to them.
Glancing at Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao who were unaware of what was happening and still having fun in front of them, Qiao Ye sneered.
Children are so gullible that they don’t even know that their death is approaching.
He put away the South Pearl and Blue Diamond gourd buckle and quickened his pace.
Penetrating through layers of mist, a towering mountain appeared before his eyes.
The rosy glow fell from the sky, towering ancient trees between the mountains reached up to the sky, rare and exotic animals frolicked in the woods, and colorful phoenixes and blue phoenixes flew across the sky, leaving behind a brilliant glow.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, and in the center of the pure solar fire, there was a Golden Crow cursing, "Get out of here! I won't give you a single hair!"
Looking at the towering mountains that were the residence of the immortal, Qiao Ye and his companions stood there in a daze, their hearts filled with rising uneasiness.
Until the thick fog in front of us was blown away by the wind, revealing the ancient, majestic and magnificent mountain gate.
Above the mountain gate, three large characters were carved in a powerful and majestic manner with sword intent that contained infinite mysteries.
——Tianshui Sect.
