Chapter 136 What Can We Do to Fight Him
When the barrier moved, Ning Mingmei didn't have time to put the lotus lantern and other items back into the secret vault, so he could only put them into the Qiankun bag.
The refining room was located very deep, and by the time he came out, the barrier on the back mountain had suffered several impacts.
——But, it was just a collision.
The barrier on the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak is very powerful. It is impossible to break it open with the abilities of just a few disciples. Xu Changze felt regretful.
But this is just the first step of the plan.
After seeing Ning Mingmei rushing over, he took the initiative to smile at him and said, "Elder Ning, the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak is really a different world."
"Xu Changze." Ning Mingmei looked at the people of Anhua, his face showing no sign of joy or anger. "Are you Anhua people so abiding by the rules when doing things?"
Xu Changze sighed upon hearing this and pushed a disciple in front of him: "Why don't you apologize to Master Ning Feng quickly?"
The Anhua disciple stood beside Xu Changze, looking embarrassed. But there were two disciples beside him.
Two disciples who were leading the way and wearing Taoist robes not from Minghua Valley.
Ning Mingmei took a look at their Taoist robes - this disciple should be from... Yixian Palace? Egret Academy? No, it seems to be from the Haoran Sect.
A disciple from a second-rate sect. A disciple from a second-rate sect who could be brought to Qingji Sect to watch the battle must be one of the best in the sect.
But both of them had bloodshot eyes, their chests heaving violently, and they took the lead and stood in front of the gap in the barrier, looking at Ning Mingmei with resentful eyes.
No matter how you look at it, they are the ones who stick their heads out and are used as targets.
Perhaps this is often the case when young people in the world of fame and fortune who have no protection from their elders are exploited.
The most troublesome thing is to talk to such a young and energetic disciple. Ning Mingmei signaled the Anhua disciples to speak: "Were you the one who took the lead in trespassing into the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak?"
"It's not Brother He's fault. If it weren't for them, we would still be kept in the dark!" The disciples of Haoran Sect really spoke up, "We came here to find the murderer!"
The good thing about young people is that they will come forward to take the blame without the old foxes having to do anything.
After they talked a lot, Ning Mingmei finally figured out what happened.
There is a blood feud between these two disciples of Haoran Sect and Gui Ruoxue - the cause of this is that Gui Ruoxue once used mortals from a village to test medicine.
The village was located in a forest surrounded by miasma and was often attacked by monsters. The villagers suffered heavy casualties and the village was on the verge of death. Gui Ruoxue then took out a medicine she had prepared and gave it to the villagers. This medicine will make the villagers become extremely powerful for a short period of time after taking it, but in return, those who take the medicine will also grow wolf hair at night. Therefore, Gui Ruoxue told them that each person could only take one pill of this medicine every three days, and it would be best if they only took it in emergencies.
But the ending was "unexpected" by everyone. After giving the medicine, Gui Ruoxue still made medicine in the village. The powerful force was so dazzling that the villagers gradually took excessive amounts of medicine and became greedy, wanting to take away Gui Ruoxue's property.
They were confident that after taking the medicine, they could defeat an immortal.
What's more, since Gui Ruoxue can make medicine to increase their strength, why doesn't she help them completely get rid of the miasma? Gui Ruoxue should have this ability, right? Therefore, this immortal was not trying to help himself, but just wanted to use the village to test the medicine.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with taking action against Gui Ruoxue!
At this moment, several disciples of Haoran Sect passed by here, discovered something strange in the miasma, and walked towards the village on the full moon night. At this moment, several villagers had taken excess drugs and launched their attack on Gui Ruoxue. Facing the completely frenzied villagers, Gui Ruoxue only did one thing -
He ran away with his medicine and, before leaving, wrote down the symptoms the villagers experienced after taking the overdose.
Gui Ruoxue has never been someone who would repay evil with kindness.
The few Haoran Sect disciples who were passing by were later drawn into the riot. The frenzied villagers caused them serious injuries, and two of their disciples even died at their hands.
These two disciples are the senior sister and senior brother who are respected by the younger disciples.
From then on, Haoran Sect regarded Gui Ruoxue as their mortal enemy. The world sees Gui Ruoxue as an evil cultivator, and good and evil cannot coexist.
Unfortunately, Gui Ruoxue's whereabouts are unknown. The disciples of Haoran Sect never found an opportunity to take revenge. It was not until the Qingji Sect competition that they heard about Gui Ruoxue's whereabouts from the mouth of this Minghua Valley's secret disciple.
And we learned that this person was most likely hiding in the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak.
Instigated by the Anhua disciples, the two men broke into the back mountain of Piao Miao Peak, and no one else could stop them. Xu Changze had been prepared for this moment. He "rushed over" with his disciples to act as a "peacemaker", and was the first to push forward his disciple who "spoke out of turn" to apologize to Ning Mingmei, showing his great demeanor.
It’s a very good trap, just waiting for Ning Mingmei to get into it.
The Anhua disciple apologized. The two Haoran Sect disciples refused to give in and directly asked Ning Mingmei whether he was an accomplice and was in cahoots with the evildoers.
"If there was nothing shameful inside, why would there be a barrier on the back mountain?" they said.
Ning Mingmei said to the system: "Tsk, that's why I hate these brats the most."
Full of passion, he dares to say anything, without even using his brain.
However, Ning Mingmei found the two people's reactions quite strange. Logically speaking, although most of the elites in second-rate sects are arrogant and used to being local tyrants, few of them dare to speak so arrogantly and without considering gains and losses when facing the elders of Qingji Sect like them... until the system prompts: "They are pure cultivators."
Before Ning Mingmei could speak, several disciples from Piaomiao Peak around him had already been aroused by the two men's words.
"This is the Qingji Sect, not your Haoran Sect!"
"You are so bold to say that the world's number one sect is behaving improperly!"
...Sometimes graduate students’ level is not good enough, which really hinders their supervisors in debates.
Ning Mingmei saw in them a few PhDs who, because of their insufficient English proficiency, had stumbled and made things difficult for him at international conferences, and were asked questions that left them speechless.
The two people from Haoran Sect said, "The world's number one sect? If it weren't for you, the stupid cultivators, squeezing out our cultivation resources, do you think we couldn't enter Qingji Sect?"
"You outsiders from the fairyland, get out of here!"
Why is there still a Hell Knight?
The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes; the more loopholes are revealed, the more they are exposed. After discovering that his side had made an omission, Xu Changze immediately said, "Elder Ning, since they all said that it was in the back mountain...why don't you take everyone in to have a look? It's also for the sake of preserving the reputation of Qingji Sect for fairness."
The real purpose is revealed.
Several disciples stopped arguing and just looked at Ning Mingmei.
The hardest thing in the world is to prove something you haven't done. Those who defend themselves often end up being unable to defend themselves.
Fortunately, Ning Mingmei does bad things every day. This made him feel very calm.
"The Qingyan Competition is underway now. You are the guests and I am the host. But you have trespassed into Piaomiao Peak based on a few hearsays. This really makes me doubt the upbringing of Haoran Sect." Ning Mingmei said, and then looked at the two disciples. "I left for a while, and someone put a big hat on my head!"
He spoke these words harshly, and without restraining his aura, the two disciples who were originally shouting began to shrink back.
Bailixi was standing nearby, he saw it all and felt anxious.
Among all the people present, he was the only one who had no doubt that Ning Mingmei was hiding Gui Ruoxue in the back mountain where there were many talented people and beautiful scenery. Not to mention Gui Ruoxue, he thought it was very reasonable that Ning Mingmei was hiding the ten greatest demons in the demon world and the ten greatest mentally ill people in the human world.
After all, Ning Mingmei is an undercover agent whose purpose is to disrupt the Qingji Sect! For an undercover agent at such a high level, is there anything that an undercover agent cannot do?
An undercover agent should be cold, intelligent, and inhumane!
For this reason, Baimian, who had noticed this early on, deliberately found a way to get Lu Mengqing away. But Xu Changze refused to give in and still insisted on the plan.
Now Ning Mingmei is in a difficult situation and it is really difficult to deal with him.
He was anxiously trying to think of a solution for Ning Mingmei, but Ning Mingmei suddenly waved his sleeves and removed the barrier at the back mountain!
He was so decisive that everyone, including Baimian, was shocked.
It should be noted that the reason why rumors are powerful is that they are rootless, cannot be verified, and are illusory. Xu Changze didn't expect Ning Mingmei to open the barrier in the back mountain from the beginning. Only in this way can it be proven that Ning Mingmei "harboured a fugitive".
But he really opened the barrier in the back mountain!
"Take a step forward, you can enter the back mountain. This is my tolerance for you." Ning Mingmei said calmly, "But if you go in, there is no Gui Ruoxue inside..."
"You are barking wildly and ruining the reputation of Qingji Sect... You will bear the consequences at your own risk."
The two Haoran Sect disciples sweated.
"Moreover, now that the emergency has occurred, the demon world and the monster world are ready to make a move. Unknown people inside and outside the Qingji Sect are waiting, waiting for the opportunity to take action. You are trying to divide people and flatter them at this critical moment, which really makes me doubt your intentions."
Isn't it just putting a big hat on someone? Who can't do that?
You said that Piao Miao Peak was colluding with evil forces. Then I would say that you are yelling and destroying the united front and community of shared destiny between the immortal world and the demon world.
Ning Mingmei was very open and confident at the moment because he had really done something bad. The two disciples had clearly achieved their goal, but for a moment they did not dare to take even a single step forward.
Finally, they turned to Xu Changze for help. Ning Mingmei said casually at the right time: "Elder Xu, the way they are looking at you now makes it seem like you are the mastermind behind this chaos."
A drop of cold sweat dripped down Xu Changze's forehead: "Elder Ning, you are joking."
"Elder Xu, please use your spiritual sense to scan the back mountain!" A disciple of the Haoran Sect said unwillingly.
When Gui Ruoxue left, he was in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now, his cultivation level is on par with Xu Changze. It is very easy for him to hide his cultivation level in front of Xu Changze.
Xu Changze had already scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found no clues.
It seems that this time, it was Xu Changze who missed a move. Xu Changze looked at Ning Mingmei deeply and said, "Elder Ning, we are sorry for disturbing you this time..."
"What are you all doing here?"
It’s Lu Mengqing’s voice!
The woman in white came slowly. When Xu Changze saw her, he was overjoyed. He glanced at Ning Mingmei out of the corner of his eye, only to see that Ning Mingmei's expression hadn't changed at all.
Xu Changze called Lu Mengqing just now because of this trap he had set up. It’s a pity that Lu Mengqing left at the last minute. At this moment, he was overjoyed to see Lu Mengqing coming back.
Lu Mengqing is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!
She will definitely find traces of Gui Ruoxue!
It feels good to take advantage of young disciples. Without Xu Changze saying anything, two disciples of the Haoran Sect rushed to Lu Mengqing and told him what had happened today.
Lu Mengqing looked at them sternly: "How could you..."
"Master Lu, they are indeed young people with sincere hearts." Xu Changze sighed.
A disciple said with tears in his eyes: "Master Lu, please give us justice!"
Surrounded by them, begging, and moral pressure, Lu Mengqing finally closed his eyes.
Ning Mingmei looked at them with an indifferent expression.
The system just said, "Oh no."
Ning Mingmei said: "Don't panic, even if the worst happens, I have a way."
But Lu Mengqing said something that Ning Mingmei didn't expect.
"There are indeed a few people in the back mountain, but none of them is Gui Ruoxue." Lu Mengqing said, "Elder Xu."
This voice made Xu Changze look at Ning Mingmei in surprise and suspicion, and then at Lu Mengqing who spoke.
"Elder Xu, you led a few disciples to speak nonsense and slander the elders of Qingji Sect. Not only did you fail to unite the major sects before the disaster, but you were also incompetent in controlling your subordinates, which led to such incidents." Lu Mengqing said sternly, "I will mention this matter at the next Five Sects Conference. It's time for Master Gui to take care of the affairs of the valley."
This five-sect conference is exactly the joint plan of the five major sects that Ning Mingmei mentioned before.
Moreover, the Five Sects Conference does not have the principle of not interfering in the internal affairs of other sects. The meaning of Lu Mengqing's words was very clear. If Xu Changze continued to be ignorant, she would not mind assisting Master Gui to "revive" Minghua Valley.
But Xu Changze only moved Ning Mingmei.
But no one expected that Ning Mingmei would have such a high position in inter-sect strategy. It was as if his body was already tied with dense threads of interests, and whoever dared to move would be affected.
He doesn't need to take any action, the other sects will clear all obstacles for him.
Xu Changze's face turned slightly pale... Without Fei Si Bu, he could no longer keep up with the information age and missed a lot. He could only whisper: "I'm really sorry."
Anhua returned with failure, along with the disciples of Haoran Sect. On the way back, Xu Changze's trusted disciple whispered, "Master, is Gui Ruoxue really not in Piaomiao Peak?"
"Even if it's fake, it can only be real now." Xu Changze rubbed his solar plexus and said, "The leader of Qingji Sect, the leader of Yanyun Tower, and Yinbing Pavilion... all the big forces are on Ning Mingmei's side. What can we use to fight him?"
Finally, he continued, "Originally, the best plan was to capture Gui Ruoxue and privately reach an agreement with Sect Leader Qi to conceal the matter, in order to gain the support of Qingji Sect. The middle plan was to use this to threaten Ning Mingmei and gain his support. Unexpectedly, it turned into a worst plan that no one had expected... Let's put this matter aside for now."
After everyone returned to the attic where they were temporarily staying, no one noticed that a disciple had secretly left the place.
This disciple is Bailixi.
He came to a secluded place in Qingji Sect, where the woman in white had been waiting for a long time.
The woman in white asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
Baimian said: "Yes."
"Although I don't know why you suddenly want me to lead Lu Mengqing away." The woman in white raised her eyebrows and said, "Forget it, as long as the matter can be done, I don't care about these details."
The woman has narrow eyes and a special look between her eyebrows.
Baimian said: "Boss Liu, when are we going to do something big?"
