Chapter 113: Follow the clues and catch them all (two in one)
Seeing that Ning Qi was fully prepared, Taoist Longshan immediately felt relieved and said solemnly:
"That's great. Then we will go down the mountain together as master and disciple, and work together to wipe out these evildoers!"
But Ning Qi slowly shook his head and said:
"No, I am enough. Master, you stay in Zhenwu Mountain."
Taoist Longshan was stunned.
Ning Qi explained with a smile:
"If Master comes with me, won't Zhenwu Mountain be left unguarded? Although the Demon Sect is quiet now, it would be better to have a Heavenly Realm expert guarding Zhenwu Mountain just in case. Besides, we don't know if those southern border forces will risk going up the mountain again."
"Moreover, this time, tracking down the golden killer 'Lei', it is not about having more people, but the key is to be able to find out his traces. I know some tracking and shape-shifting skills, so I can be more flexible alone."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
With Ning Qi's current strength, if he can't accomplish it, then having another Taoist priest Longshan will be of no help.
Even if he really encountered an invincible enemy, Ning Qi could still escape by himself through many means, but if Taoist Longshan was there, he might have to fight to the death, so going alone was actually the best option.
Taoist Longshan hesitated slightly. What Ning Qi said made some sense, but he had promised Ning Qi a long time ago that he would help him destroy the Blood Rain Tower.
Of course, the most important thing was that he was still worried that Ning Qi would be in danger.
"Although your strength has surpassed mine now, Xiaojiu, if I go with you, there will always be someone to look after you. There is a high probability that there are powerful people in the Heavenly Realm behind these forces in Southern Xinjiang." He was still a little worried.
Ning Qi just smiled.
The next moment.
The sea of jade liquid in the body vibrated, and wisps of energy vibrated, surrounding the two of them.
Long Shandao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately mobilized the power of heaven and earth to resist the oppressive feeling, but no matter how hard he tried, the terrifying aura around him always remained at a strong level, and there was a feeling of being unfathomable.
Even after he had tried his best, Ning Qi remained calm.
Taoist Longshan finally smiled bitterly and waved his hand:
"Forget it, Xiaojiu, just be careful."
He felt both bitter and proud.
Last year, he was the one who used the power of heaven and earth to measure Ning Qi's strength, but now it is Ning Qi who is measuring the strength of his power of heaven and earth with his Gang Qi. As time goes by, the roles of the two have changed so quickly that he was caught off guard.
He understood too.
With his disciple's current strength, if he were to force himself to follow him, not only would he not be of much help, he might even become a burden to him.
Think about it this way.
Taoist Longshan was no longer obsessed. Just as Ning Qi said, his staying in Zhenwu Mountain could make Zhenwu Mountain safer.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry, Master. I cherish my life more than anyone else."
Taoist Longshan said again:
"If it's convenient, then we can kill the murderer who destroyed the Divine Sword Sect. This will also be an explanation to Brother Divine Sword's spirit in heaven."
Ning Qi nodded seriously.
That was his original intention.
…
The next day.
Ning Qi claimed that he was in seclusion, but in fact he quietly went down the mountain, and no one knew about it except Taoist Longshan.
now.
Ning Qi transformed into a middle-aged man in black. He walked on the bluestone street, feeling the coming and going of people and the atmosphere of life, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
It has been nine years since he traveled to this world.
But strictly speaking, this was his first time being so far away from Zhenwu Mountain. The farthest place he had been to before was Zhenwu City.
However, it is only a little fresh at first.
After walking around a few more times, Ning Qi felt that this was just the way it was. He would not let the sight of the prosperity of the world shake his determination to become a Taoist. This time he went down the mountain just to settle old matters from nine years ago.
Ning Qi identified the direction of Canghe Prefecture and flew away without being noticed.
…
Canghe Prefecture City.
It is also a famous city in Qingzhou. Its prosperity can be ranked among the top five in Qingzhou. The forces within it are complex and intertwined. In addition to the government, there are several first-class forces, and the Iron Fist Gang is one of them.
Ning Qi found an inn and sat down. He looked ordinary now and his aura was not strong, so he would hardly attract any attention.
Ning Qi ordered a few side dishes at random and sensed the movements around him, capturing the information he wanted.
"Hey, have you heard? The son of the Iron Fist Sect's great elder was kidnapped by the Black Wind Bandits. A son born in old age is precious to him, but he was actually abused to death..."
"Is this true? Aren't the two families going to fight?"
"That's right. It is said that the two families sat down to talk several times, but nothing came of it. In the end, they got angry. The Iron Fist Sect has already announced that they will kill all the Black Wind Bandits and grind them to ashes!"
"The Black Wind Bandits have such a dangerous place as Black Wind Mountain. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to destroy them, right?"
…
Ning Qi listened, somewhat surprised.
I didn’t expect that only two or three days had passed and the confrontation between the two top forces had already come to light.
Obviously.
This is someone fanning the flames.
I'm afraid it involves the open and covert struggles among certain forces, and there may even be shadows of the Demon Sect and the government.
But Ning Qi didn't care. With his current strength, the fight between a group of Gangyuan realm masters was just like playing house.
Dayan is vast.
The realm of heaven and man is not so easy to appear.
"Since Lei's target is the leader of the Black Wind Bandits, I will just wait for him there in advance."
Ning Qi's idea is very simple.
As long as you see the 'thunder', the rest will be easy.
His Soul Capture Eye Technique has now been further improved, with the power of heaven and earth blessing it, enough to get a lot of information. He doesn't think that this 'Lei' would normally carry a poisonous insect like the one the woman used to commit suicide last time. Otherwise, if he accidentally encounters a celestial being, wouldn't that be a waste?
People wouldn't be that stupid. That kind of stuff would only be equipped when carrying out dangerous missions with a very high possibility of death.
Ning Qi was not in a hurry either.
Silently feeling the prosperity of Canghe City.
It is a rare opportunity to go down the mountain. Although I will not miss it, it will change my state of mind if I experience it carefully, and it will have a different touch on enlightenment.
In the blink of an eye.
Another four days passed.
Ning Qi went towards Black Wind Mountain silently.
He has been busy these past few days and has already secretly figured out the terrain of the Black Wind Mountain.
It's late at night.
He changed his form and concealed his breath, like a ghost, stepping into the air from the dangerous back cliff. He let go of his perception and waited quietly with a calm mind.
Not long.
Suddenly, a burst of shouting and killing broke out in the night sky.
"Old dog Zhao, give me back my son's life!"
A loud shout filled with grief, indignation and rage opened the curtain of the night battle.
A hearty laugh sounded:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your son is really good. My brothers and I played with him for three days and three nights. He is even more tender than the courtesans in Xuehuafang. What a pity! If only he could last a little longer, maybe he could show it to you, Old Man Sun!"
There were many unbridled laughs.
One warrior after another rushed out fiercely.
New and old grudges, and conflicts of interest.
The two forces are engaged in a fierce battle in a dangerous place, and there are not only two forces, but also other forces are betting.
in.
The most numerous warriors are in the Tempering Body Realm, the Inner Yuan Realm warriors are the backbone, and the very few Gang Yuan Realm warriors will decide the final outcome of the battlefield.
Ning Qi just stood in the dark and watched quietly. No one could detect his presence.
With his current strength, watching this extremely dangerous battle was like watching children playing house, giving him the feeling of a max-level boss running rampant in the novice village.
He was waiting for 'Thunder' to appear.
At present, the gap in power between the two parties is not that big. Only the appearance of the killer from the Blood Rain Tower can the final word be settled.
The battle became increasingly fierce.
Ning Qi is very patient.
Suddenly.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the most intense part of the battlefield. The leader of the Iron Fist Sect and the leader of the Black Wind Bandits were fighting each other. In the shadows, a figure was approaching silently. No one noticed it except Ning Qi.
“Here it comes!”
Ning Qi just had this thought.
Murderous intent suddenly appeared in the shadow, and a long sword stabbed at the boss like lightning.
The leader of the Iron Fist Sect also seized the opportunity and burst out with all his strength.
So two-pronged approach.
In just a short moment, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits was dead.
All the Black Wind Bandits were horrified. This sudden change made them completely panic.
Needless to say, the following results are obvious.
With the arrival of two more powerful Gangyuan realm warriors, a group of new reinforcements dressed in black rushed out, and what followed was a one-sided massacre.
The screams continued.
Not long after.
The fighting had completely ceased.
Everyone in the Iron Fist Sect cheered.
But the sect leader and the great elder looked at the cold black-clad assassins with a bit of fear in their eyes:
"Thank you so much for your help, Master Lei! You are worthy of being the famous gold medal killer of the Blood Rain Tower in Qingzhou. I admire you!"
Lei's voice did not convey any emotion, he just said calmly:
"Just follow what we agreed upon beforehand."
The leader of the Iron Fist Sect nodded, feeling a little pained. The price to pay for hiring the gold medal killer from the Blood Rain Tower was not small.
"clear."
A moment later, the spoils were seized.
All the people from the Iron Fist Sect left, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, a huge fire broke out on the Black Wind Mountain.
The elder was puzzled:
"Why did the Blood Rain Tower set fire to it? Doesn't he want Black Wind Mountain?"
The Iron Fist Sect took a deep look at the mountain:
"Why bother with so much? The more you know, the faster you'll die. I should have less dealings with these people in the future. I always feel like they're a bit evil."
…
On Black Wind Mountain.
The fire was blazing.
However, unlike what the Iron Fist Sect members thought as everything was burned to ashes, the bodies of the warriors were neatly stacked together.
Lei looked at the numerous corpses with fiery eyes, feeling particularly happy.
Among them there are two or three corpses in the Gangyuan realm, and one of them has even reached the Yuandan realm, with very high quality.
Ever since they discovered someone was secretly investigating them, Xueyu Tower has been acting cautiously, just looking for small gains here and there. Now they finally find a chance to take a big bite!
"The timid ones will starve to death, and the bold ones will be gluttonous to death. With this achievement, the blood pool is enough for the Blood King Gu to absorb once more. Those useless things can't say anything. They can't even destroy the Divine Sword Sect, and they still blame us. They don't deserve it!"
Lei felt somewhat disdainful.
This time, they took advantage of the dispute between the two major forces to replace the original with the fake, and brought back these bodies without anyone noticing. No one could find out. A fire was enough to completely destroy all traces. Moreover, this was a normal conflict between martial arts sects, so it would not be suspected.
He ordered in a deep voice:
"Take these bodies back!"
"Yes, Lord Lei!"
One by one, the black-clad killers began to act. The corpses had already been stabbed, so they were very relieved.
The carriage that had been prepared long ago carried the corpses away.
It's just that they don't know.
In the darkness, a calm gaze was watching them.
Ning Qi's expression was somewhat amused.
He originally planned to capture Lei directly, then interrogate him with his pupil technique and then head straight for their lair.
But now, he had a better idea.
…
Lei sat upright in the carriage with his eyes closed.
The killing spree also exhausted him a little. For some reason, he always felt uneasy, but he couldn't find the source.
"Where are you?" he asked in a deep voice.
A respectful voice came from outside the carriage:
"Sir, we will reach the base in about an hour."
Ray took a deep breath.
Get out of the carriage.
He felt that he needed to relax his tense mind.
"Take a break and check if there are any survivors among those corpses."
After saying that.
He walked into the dense forest alone.
As soon as he entered the dense forest, his expression changed. He hid in the dark, constantly scanning the busy men in black with sharp eyes, and also sensing his surroundings from time to time. He believed in his intuition and would never be wrong.
If there really is someone spying on us.
Either they were disguised as corpses, mixed in the team, or following in the dark.
He knew clearly that someone had been secretly investigating them in recent days, so he could never be too careful.
But watched for a moment.
He didn't find anything, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"Am I really feeling it wrong?" As soon as this thought came to Lei's mind, his pupils suddenly shrank.
A series of faint voices entered his ears:
"Are you...looking for me?"
Lei felt a chill run down his spine for a moment, but he could no longer utter a sound. A large hand pinched his neck, and the terrifying pressure enveloped every inch of his flesh and blood. He could even hear the groaning of his own bones.
No matter how vigilant he was, he could not escape the dimensionality reduction attack.
Ning Qi is so comprehensive.
Ning Qi stared at the fierce-looking middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes like a deep pool:
“Look me in the eyes.”
…
A moment later.
Lei walked out of the dense forest again.
Many men in black said respectfully:
"Sir, the inspection is complete, there is no problem."
Lei nodded slightly.
Get on the carriage.
When the curtain was lowered, Lei's eyes became a little strange. No one knew that the real Lei had died in the dense forest without any trace, and the current Lei was Ning Qi's transformed form.
With his mastery of the art of shapeshifting, even people who spend every day with Lei would not be able to find any flaws.
Just now in the dense forest.
Ning Qi was well prepared and had used his pupil technique to ask many questions he wanted to know. With his previous experience of questioning charming women, Ning Qi cleverly avoided some questions that should not be asked this time.
Now knowing information such as various handover codes, organizational structure, whether there are experts behind the scenes, etc., is enough for him to temporarily disguise his identity as Lei.
This is Ning Qi’s new idea.
If we kill them one by one, there will inevitably be some that slip through the net. These people don't usually gather in one place. If that 'Lord Feng' gets the news and runs away, it will be troublesome to find them.
But if there is someone with Lei’s identity, we can find a reason to bring everyone together.
By then.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to catch them all in one fell swoop?
So as not to waste time.
"According to Lei, the people from Qingzhou are probably the Blood Rain Tower and the nameless force. Above them, there are two masters of the Heavenly Man Realm, one is called the Fat Elder, and the other is called the Thin Elder."
"The fat and thin elders each have a Blood King Gu in their hands. Usually, when they have a big harvest, they will ask one of the elders to come with the Blood King Gu."
"It seems that only these two people know what this Blood King Gu is used for."
Ning Qi's eyes flickered.
He felt that the Blood King Gu might be of great use to him and could be used to make pills instead of the relics. This was not just a guess, but could be seen from the way the Blood King Gu was cultivated.
"The Gu worms that are cultivated by sucking the essence of human blood must contain extremely abundant vitality."
For a moment, Ning Qi became more interested.
If he could get these two Blood King Gu, perhaps the time it takes him to advance to Yuan Dan would be shortened a lot.
Now that he was here, Ning Qi would not miss it. After all, it would be a convenient opportunity to take revenge.
"That fat elder seems a little weak, so let's use our harvest to invite him here first, and then invite everyone here in the name of the fat elder!"
"Otherwise, given Lei's status, it would be a bit abrupt if he directly summoned other people."
Ning Qi had a plan in mind.
The convoy moved forward quickly.
An hour later.
They have already arrived at the stronghold.
The location of this stronghold was very secretive, in a valley, and was heavily guarded in the dark. The convoy loaded with corpses was strictly checked, and even Ning Qi was checked.
However, Ning Qi's shape-shifting technique was so superb that no one could tell.
Into the valley.
Everyone carried the body into the underground palace.
Then they reached the deepest part of the underground palace.
Ning Qi looked at the pool of blood in front of him, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his heart.
It’s hard to imagine how many people died.
It doesn't matter that the Black Wind Bandits are burning, killing and looting, but I'm afraid most of them are innocent people.
In the pool of blood.
The smell of blood was pungent. In addition to human blood, there were also many precious medicinal herbs. Ning Qi recognized several of them with just a slight sniff. He watched as corpses were thrown into the pool of blood. The corpses gradually melted with bubbles, looking particularly evil.
As the corpses of powerful warriors were thrown into the blood pool one after another, the evil vitality in the blood pool became more and more intense, and the blood pool actually became clear.
It seems that a certain limit has been reached.
Several of the confidants around him all knelt down and shouted:
"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! With this success, you will surely receive a generous reward from the two elders!"
Ning Qi laughed and waved:
"Someone, quickly send a message to invite the Fat Elder!"
There was some anticipation in his eyes.
…
In the stronghold.
Ning Qi was alone.
Even with the ability to change shape and bones, there is still the possibility of making mistakes if you talk too much.
He silently waited for the fat elder to arrive.
The blood pool has reached its limit. This is all normal and the fat elder will not have any doubts.
One day later.
A figure appeared in the air above the stronghold.
The figure had his hands behind his back, was fat and had big ears, fair skin, and a certain pride in his eyes. Ning Qi had already been waiting here with a group of subordinates. He secretly looked at the fat elder and sensed his aura.
"He is just an ordinary Heavenly Man Realm, and his strength is probably about the same as that of Xiaoyao Jun."
While thoughts were turning in his mind, his hands were moving quickly.
"I have met the Fat Elder!"
The fat elder snorted in response, his eyes stayed on Ning Qi, and finally praised:
"Lei, you've done well. If you keep it up, I can recommend you to become the owner of the Blood Rain Tower."
Since the establishment of Blood Rain Tower, the position of the tower owner has remained vacant, making the four gold medal killers very jealous.
Ning Qi pretended to be ecstatic but tried his best to restrain himself:
"It is our duty to serve the elders, and we cannot expect anything else!"
The fat elder waved his hand casually:
"Take me to the blood pool."
Ning Qi hurriedly led the way.
After entering the blood pool at the deepest part of the underground palace, everyone else retreated respectfully and the door was closed. Only Ning Qi and the fat elder were left here.
This is a common practice. Others only know that they need to collect blood from the pool, but they don’t know what the blood pool is used for. Only the core Yuandan realm masters know of the existence of the Blood King Gu.
The fat elder looked at the blood pool in front of him, which was filled with extremely evil vitality, and his eyes were extremely hot.
"Good! Well done! Better than those rubbish Zhao Dong!"
He did not hesitate to express his praise.
Ning Qi quickly responded with a compliment.
then.
He saw the fat elder carefully take out a bamboo tube from his arms. The bamboo tube was not simple. It was like purple jade all over and seemed to have a nourishing effect.
The fat elder was mumbling something at an extremely fast speed, but his speech was not in the official language of Dayan.
Ning Qi was startled, and listened carefully to the changes in his syllables, and paid more attention to the fluctuations of his Qi. He seemed to have some understanding in his mind, thinking that this should be the technique of controlling Gu, which should not be difficult.
Then a blood-red poisonous insect lazily crawled out of the purple jade bamboo tube.
He saw it clearly.
The poisonous insect was only about the size of an adult's thumb, and its entire body was like blood-red agate. There were some strange patterns on its back, like eyes, and there were three pairs of transparent wings on its back, but the last pair of wings did not look that powerful and were a little small.
"Is this the Blood King Gu?"
As soon as the Blood King Gu appeared, the extremely abundant vitality made Ning Qi's eyes light up.
He knew that his guess was correct. This was definitely an excellent thing that could replace the relics, and its effect was even better than that of the relics.
at this time.
After the originally lazy Blood King Gu appeared, it seemed to be attracted by the evil vitality in the blood pool and immediately became active.
With a flutter of its wings, it landed in the pool of blood.
Then go deeper into it.
Ning Qi could feel that the original evil vitality in the blood pool was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye as it was being absorbed by the Blood King Gu. Although the Blood King Gu was invisible, Ning Qi could feel that the vitality in its body was rapidly growing, and even some kind of power was undergoing a qualitative change. That was the fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth.
"This Blood King Gu seems to have played a role in filtering and purifying?"
Ning Qi had already vaguely understood the purpose of the Blood King Gu.
If the Blood King Gu matures, it may be a treasure that can allow a person to break into the realm of heaven and man.
