Chapter 157 Jiang Baishan, Danger
The Black Stone Mountains are also a very famous mountain range in Dayan. There are powerful beast kings in its depths, and ordinary warriors have to be cautious when entering.
But it’s nothing to Ning Qi.
Now the only existence that can make him feel wary is at the level of the Beast King.
Ning Qi walked casually on the street, and no one noticed that such a young man was passing by. He restrained his breath and had a very low sense of presence. Sometimes people seemed to notice him after he passed by, but when they thought carefully, they could not remember the specific face of the person who just passed by, and they just felt extremely surprised.
Ning Qi was naturally not wandering aimlessly.
Just now in the inn, he had already sensed several suspicious characters mentioned in the intelligence. Now that he realized they were escaping into the Black Rock Mountains, he immediately followed them.
There were three people in front of them, two men and one woman, all middle-aged, talking and laughing, and they looked no different from ordinary adventurous warriors who entered the Blackrock Mountains.
But once they entered the Black Rock Mountains, the demeanor of the three changed. The three who originally seemed to be of equal status immediately became led by the woman.
"Sir, what should we do now?" asked the two men.
The woman replied:
"Follow the old rules!"
Ning Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
He activated the Silence Technique and followed silently behind them. He saw the three people wandering around and occasionally encountering strange beasts, but they were all dealt with by a man wearing metal boxing gloves. This man's cultivation was not low, even higher than the intelligence showed, and he had clearly reached the Yuandan realm.
Then, the three of them stopped in a valley.
A low voice came from the valley:
"Registration number."
The leading woman replied in a deep voice:
"A little red in the southern border, which brother from the Holy Sect is this?"
"I'm from the North Wind Gate of the Fengzi Hall of the Holy Sect. I'd like to meet Master Hong."
“You’re welcome.”
After the two groups met and exchanged greetings, Ning Qi discovered that there were corpses hidden in the valley. It was not difficult to see that these corpses were all powerful warriors when they were alive. He raised his eyebrows, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.
He understood that the Demon Sect was assisting Southern Xinjiang in collecting the bodies of warriors, trying to shift from quantity to quality as much as possible to avoid attracting attention.
Under the leadership of the three people from Southern Xinjiang, the members of the Demon Sect continued to advance into the Black Stone Mountains carrying corpses one after another.
There was almost no conversation.
After circling for a while, they stopped in a forest. The three people from Nanjiang turned around and said with a smile:
"My fellow brothers from the Holy Gate, thank you for your hard work. I will just send you here."
The leader of the Demon Sect did not hesitate. He waved his hand and everyone put the corpse at their feet. Then he said:
"Master Hong, see you again if we are lucky enough!"
After that, everyone left together.
Ning Qi secretly praised the decisiveness, but a wisp of aura also attached to it. Although the strongest among them was only at the Gangyuan realm, since it was discovered that it was someone from the Demon Sect, it was also a clue.
He roughly figured out that every time the Demon Sect came to deliver the corpse, it was a completely different person.
He was somewhat looking forward to it.
Seeing that the handover was so cautious and orderly, this stronghold was very likely to be real.
Unexpectedly, he had already gained something from the first place he chose after going down the mountain. Ning Qi was in a good mood. As long as he got another Blood King Gu, he could start to see if he could find the existence of other Blood King Gu and eliminate the threat from southern Xinjiang first.
He waited quietly.
After confirming that the people from the Demon Sect had gone far away, the woman in the lead from Nanjiang took out a small box from her bosom, and then a red unknown poisonous insect crawled out of it and flew away with its wings.
Not long.
Warriors carrying wooden boxes appeared in the distance.
"Master Hong, we have made a great harvest this time. Those people from the Demon Sect are really good at keeping their promise." The people who came smiled and put the corpses into wooden boxes one by one.
The leading woman just hummed softly:
"If we in Southern Xinjiang hadn't been helping them, they wouldn't have done this. In the end, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."
Although they didn't know the purpose of collecting corpses, they thought that the people from the Demon Sect would not help casually. They also vaguely heard that the Demon Sect had something to ask for in the Ten Thousand Mountains. They were just using each other.
soon.
After the bodies were put in, everyone carried the wooden boxes and left quickly. Under Ning Qi's gaze, they stopped in front of another valley.
Another strict interrogation.
Even from the low complaints of one of them, Ning Qi knew that the code was different every time someone entered and exited, and it seemed to be combined with some characteristics of the person himself. In this way, it would be extremely difficult to impersonate someone.
Ning Qi vaguely felt that this might be related to the Qingzhou stronghold that he had destroyed before, and it seemed that they were intentionally guarding against people in disguise.
I think the people in southern Xinjiang reviewed the situation afterwards and thought of this possibility, so they took targeted measures.
Fortunately.
The Ning Qi of today is no longer the same as he was back then.
After entering the realm of heaven and man, his methods became more diverse.
now.
He just seized the opportunity and stepped into the valley silently. The warriors' perception was completely ineffective in front of him.
"There are people in the Heavenly Man Realm? And more than one?" Ning Qi was shocked. He felt a perception containing the power of heaven and earth sweeping over the place where he was hiding. And there were more than one, but four. If an ordinary person wanted to sneak in, it would be impossible.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
So many experts in one stronghold?
Even if Southern Xinjiang and the Demon Sect have a deep foundation, they shouldn't be so extravagant, right?
As the warriors carrying wooden boxes moved forward.
Ning Qi finally stopped in front of a palace.
His expression was slightly complicated, and a little self-deprecating.
Without even going in, he knew that his joy was in vain.
Inside this palace, there was not the slightest scent of a blood pool, nor was there any remnant of the Blood King Gu. Instead, the auras of those Heavenly Realm warriors were extremely dazzling, as if they were gathering strength and ready to strike.
At this point, he still didn't understand.
This is a trap.
It's obviously used for fishing.
If the people from the imperial court rushed in without knowing the danger, they would probably be trapped to death. For a stronghold of this size, it would be extremely good for the imperial court to send two people at the Heavenly Man Realm. After all, there were too many places where the imperial court needed people, and unless they had accurate information, it would be impossible to send many masters to any place at random.
"It turns out that we can't underestimate them." Ning Qi sighed lightly, putting away the slight contempt he had before going down the mountain.
With his ability, he thought at the beginning that this was really a base for cultivating Blood King Gu, not to mention other people.
Someone has already discovered Ning Qi's existence.
"who!"
An angry roar rang out from deep within the palace, and layers of power from heaven and earth burst out. A blue-haired figure soared into the sky, and then three figures with powerful auras rushed out and surrounded Ning Qi in an instant.
Many warriors in the stronghold rushed out fiercely.
The others were a little confused, but they still surrounded Ning Qi together.
The blue-haired old man looked at the young Ning Qi with some disappointment:
"It's just a small shrimp? What do you do? How could you let someone get here without noticing?"
Although he said this, Ning Qi's golden eyes had already discovered that he was secretly gathering strength with all his strength. Obviously, he knew that Ning Qi was able to get here alone, and must be no pushover.
Ning Qi's face was calm.
He just released the breath deliberately.
Now that we are here, even though this is not the Blood King Gu stronghold, killing some people from southern Xinjiang can reduce the threat a bit.
Sensing the movements around him, he said calmly:
"Very good, as long as no one is left out."
Those people in the Heavenly Man Realm were about to yell at Ning Qi for being ignorant of the immensity of the world, but the next moment, they all froze on the spot. They only felt that the vast power of heaven and earth like the ocean was gathering together, making it difficult for them to breathe. The feeling of oppression made their souls tremble.
Ning Qi slowly rose into the air and made a fist.
He didn't want to use the sword intent, but after thinking about it, he felt that King Zhenbei's Zhentian Fist was quite handy.
The power of heaven and earth suppressed everything, and the huge fist came like a mountain.
Everything was destroyed with ease.
Inside the valley.
The battle broke out.
The power of heaven and earth fluctuates, and the screams often come to an abrupt end.
A moment later.
Ning Qi turned and left.
All that was left was a mess.
After using the Soul-Captivating Pupil Technique to interrogate, several people in the Heavenly Realm did not know any more information. The only mission they were sent here was to ambush the powerful court officials who might arrive and severely betray the court.
Ning Qi also discovered that there was a special kind of poisonous insect in the bodies of these people in the Heavenly Realm, which could stabilize their spirits and fight against his Soul-Captivating Eye Technique. Apparently, Nanjiang had also taken precautions in this regard.
There was a moment of silence, and then Ning Qi let out a long breath.
Since there is no trace in this place, then just go to the next one. He doesn't believe that there will be no clues at all.
As for the aftermath of this incident, just leave it to the court.
Ning Qi returned to Black Stone City.
I felt a little depressed. After all, I thought I had gained something in the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be a false alarm.
This made him realize that things might not be as simple as he had thought before. He saw the magic sect and the southern border.
Having power but no target is useless.
If the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang were hiding, they would not be easy to find.
"But even if we can't find any trace, we have to delay their steps. If we really can't find any, then forget it. I will go back to the mountain and try my best to improve my strength!" Ning Qi secretly made up his mind.
Although he would go to the sky every day to practice the Three Flowers when he was outside, he ultimately wasted a lot of time on enlightenment.
"The time limit is two months. If you can't find it, don't waste your time."
Ning Qi exhaled slowly and calmed himself down.
Half a day later.
Ning Qi set off to another suspicious place recorded in the intelligence.
…
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
This period of time.
Ning Qi's footprints covered five or six states. He followed Luo Wentian's intelligence all the way, but unfortunately, he gained almost nothing. Without exception, they were either traps or smoke bombs.
It was as if the people in Southern Xinjiang had long stopped cultivating the Blood King Gu in Dayan.
Ning Qi was getting a little annoyed after a series of failed attempts.
The only gain was the destruction of several ambushes and the killing of nine powerful celestial beings from Southern Xinjiang and the Demon Sect. Both the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang knew that there was an unrivaled powerful man from the imperial court tracking down the traps, and they became much more restrained. This might be the biggest consolation.
But for Ning Qi, the most important thing is to find the secret place of the Martial Saint. Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if he killed more people in the Heavenly Realm. After all, it is impossible for him to slaughter all the Heavenly Realm masters in the southern border of the Demon Sect.
"A few days ago, my senior brother sent a message saying that the King of Zhenbei has sent elite troops to the Northern Barbarians to investigate. We can only wait and see if there is any news from there."
After a series of unsuccessful attempts, everyone suspected that Southern Xinjiang had already moved the cultivation of the Blood King Gu to Northern Barbarians or other places.
But that place is not the territory of Dayan, so it is much more difficult to investigate.
Ning Qi took a sip of wine.
He sat in the restaurant in a daze.
Suddenly.
His body trembled, his pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but look to the south.
"This is... the fluctuation of the Gangyuan Sword Seed!"
He is in Cangzhou at the moment. If he is not mistaken, the direction from which the wave comes should be... Leizhou.
Ning Qi's heart tightened.
When Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua went down the mountain, he gave them a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, which contained the Gangyuan sword seed. If they encountered a crisis, it would explode. Now, the sword seed has exploded. Doesn’t it mean that Jiang Baishan and his wife have encountered a crisis?
He suddenly couldn't sit still anymore.
