After one stick of incense.

Qin Gengyun walked out of Danfu Tower, with about 3,200 spirit stones still in the spirit crystal in his arms.

He didn't buy any secret books on fighting.

One thousand spirit stones for one book, this price is really staggering.

But it wasn't that Tong Jinyin wanted to blackmail him.

Just like how fourth-grade elixirs cannot be circulated outside, secret manuals on fighting techniques are also controlled by the three major sects. Only by becoming an outer disciple can one learn some basic fighting techniques.

Buying and selling secret fighting manuals is like secretly selling banned items, and only a powerful place like Danfu Tower would dare to do it.

Even so, do it stealthily.

Therefore, it is not excessive to cost one thousand spirit stones for a secret book.

However, Qin Gengyun had no experience in fighting, nor did he know which kind of martial arts was suitable for him, so he planned to go home and discuss it with his wife first.

Qiu Zhihe had been in a cultivation sect before, so she must have some understanding of fighting techniques. It would be safer to ask her opinion before deciding which secret book to buy.

However, if he bought the secret book, he would have to buy spiritual marrow for cultivation, and there would be less than a thousand spirit stones left, so the plan of buying a house and a flying sword would have to be postponed.

While thinking, Qin Gengyun walked into an alley, which was a shortcut to the narrow rain alley.

It is now the hour of Xu and it is almost dark, so we should go home early.

Suddenly, a strange black light appeared around him, enveloping him.

"Boundary?"

Qin Gengyun's face changed.

This should be a barrier formed by a confinement formation that can trap people inside. Unless you kill the person who set up the formation, or your cultivation level is far higher than that of the person who set up the formation, you will never be able to get out.

However, this formation consumes a lot of spiritual essence, and the cost is not small.

Who is willing to go to such lengths to trap me?

This was the first time Qin Gengyun encountered such a situation. He was a little nervous, but he remained calm on the surface and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoist He Fang, is there any misunderstanding? Can you show up and talk?"

He did not release his spiritual power immediately to demonstrate his fifth level of Qi training. The situation was unclear at the moment, so he had to wait and see what would happen.

His fingers trembled slightly, and he suppressed his instinctive nervousness and tried his best to keep his mind clear.

After waiting for a while, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and Qin Gengyun's pupils shrank slightly:

"Zhou Kun!"

Zhou Kun snorted coldly: "You are only at the fourth level of Qi training, and you don't even call me senior when you see me! You are so rude, you deserve to die!"

Qin Gengyun's mind turned over and over, and Qiu Zhihe's words emerged in his mind:

"If you fight with others, there is no dignity, no morality, the only truth is that the enemy dies and you live."

The cold words seemed to echo in his ears, but they gradually calmed Qin Gengyun's violently beating heart.

The next moment, he pretended to be terrified and his voice trembled:

"Senior Zhou, we have no grudges against each other. What do you mean by this?"

As he spoke, he quietly sent out his spiritual sense.

He is now at the fifth level of Qi training, and the length of his spiritual consciousness has increased to four meters. Qin Gengyun has seen in a book on formations that this kind of low-end confinement formation will not have a very large range.

Four to five meters at most.

Zhou Kun came with bad intentions, and I don’t know if he has any backup plans. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you have a chance to escape danger.

"No grudges or hatred? Haha, hahaha!"

Zhou Kun suddenly burst into laughter:

"You stole my woman and embarrassed me in public at the night market. Any one of these is enough for me to kill you ten times! How dare you say that you have no grudge against me?"

Qin Gengyun controlled his consciousness to bypass Zhou Kun, and the other party really didn't notice. He controlled his consciousness to explore the surroundings while continuing to pretend to be terrified:

"Senior Zhou, what a misunderstanding! I just happened to be delivering goods to Daoist Friend Mo that day. Besides, I have never heard that Daoist Friend Mo has found a Taoist partner. She should have nothing to do with you, right?"

Zhou Kun stopped laughing, his expression was extremely cold:

"Do you really think I don't know? I have interrogated Huang Xun and he has confessed everything. You and Mo Xiaolan have had an affair for a long time. She was afraid that I would vent my anger on you, so she left Yunling Town!"

"Tell me, where did Mo Xiaolan go? I can make your death more painful!"

"What?!" Qin Gengyun was stunned.

Didn’t Mo Xiaolan go to Zhenyang City to do business and come back in half a year?

The thought flashed through my mind, and I understood.

What Zhou Kun said was probably true. Mo Xiaolan was afraid of being implicated, so she quietly left Yunling Town.

In order not to make him worry, she asked Huang Xun and landlord Lin to keep it a secret from her.

However, Mo Xiaolan has lived in Yunling Town for so long, and her network of contacts is all here.

Now that she suddenly leaves, where can she go?

How difficult is it to start all over again in a strange place?

Mo Xiaolan...why are you so stupid!

For a moment, Qin Gengyun felt mixed emotions: surprise, heartache, and regret...

But facing the crisis at this moment, I cannot be distracted and continue to pretend to be afraid:

"Senior Zhou, don't believe other people's nonsense. I really don't know where Fellow Daoist Mo has gone."

As he spoke, he took out the sword talisman with a "trembling" motion.

"Senior Zhou, it is better to resolve an grievance than to create one. Why do you have to embarrass a young cultivator like me, who is only at the third level of Qi training, over such a small matter?"

Zhou Kun saw him take out a sword talisman, but he was not afraid at all and laughed again:

"Qin Gengyun, you are quite scheming. You still want to hide your cultivation level even now. Unfortunately, someone has already told me your details. You have already advanced to the fourth level of Qi training, right?"

Qin Gengyun's face turned pale, and his body trembled more violently:

"Who told you that? Don't come over here!"

He was holding a sword talisman and looked as if he was hoarse.

His spiritual sense had already reached the edge of the barrier. About two feet behind Zhou Kun, there stood a short and fat figure.

There is actually another person!

His spiritual consciousness had reached its limit. While acting, Qin Gengyun tried his best to control his spiritual consciousness to move forward.

Zhou Kun admired the fear on Qin Gengyun's face and laughed:

"I'm not afraid to tell you that when I went to the Northern Wasteland this time, I got a soul-forbidden talisman, which can not only generate a barrier, but also make offensive talismans below the third grade ineffective within the barrier."

Qin Gengyun's face changed, this time it was 50% true.

He had heard of the Soul-Forbidden Talisman, and he tried to activate the Sword Talisman, but as expected, there was no reaction.

Zhou Kun's voice sounded again, full of teasing and joy:

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. I will destroy your cultivation and break your limbs. Someone will come to torture you slowly."

"Senior Zhou, you have a high level of cultivation, why do you bother a mere casual cultivator like me?"

While Qin Gengyun was "begging for mercy in fear", his mind became clearer and clearer.

Once when I was drinking with Mo Xiaolan, I heard her say that the soul-forbidden talisman is different from ordinary talisman paper. In order to maintain the barrier, someone needs to continuously inject spiritual power into the talisman.

No wonder Zhou Kun brought someone with him. I guess he is the one who uses spiritual power to maintain the barrier.

His spiritual consciousness slowly extended forward, and he saw that the person hiding at the edge of the barrier had a faint light in his hand, and his spiritual power was continuously injected into a piece of talisman paper stuck on the wall.

And that person's face gradually became clear.

Yang Fengshan!

"Hahaha." Zhou Kun's laughter was sharp, full of the joy and cruelty of playing with his prey:

"Mr. Qin, do you know why you died? It's not because of Mo Xiaolan, but because you have no respect for the strong. This is the way to die!"

After saying that, Zhou Kun exuded the pressure of a fifth-level Qi training master and raised his palm to slap Qin Gengyun!
