Chapter 113: Follow the clues and catch them all (two in one)

Seeing that Ning Qi had made full preparations, Taoist Longshan was relieved immediately, and then said solemnly:

"That's good, then we will go down the mountain together, work together, and try to catch all these evils in one fell swoop!"

But Ning Qi shook his head slowly and said:

"No, I am enough, Master, you stay in Zhenwu Mountain."

Taoist Longshan was stunned.

Ning Qi smiled and explained:

"If Master and I go together, Zhenwu Mountain will be unguarded? Although the Demon Sect is quiet now, it would be better to have a strong man in the Heaven Realm guarding Zhenwu Mountain just in case. Besides, I don't know if those southern border forces will risk going up the mountain again."

"Moreover, this time to track the gold medal killer 'Lei', it is not good to have more people, but mainly to be able to find out his traces. I know some tracking and shape-changing techniques, and one person is more flexible."

There is another sentence he didn't say.

With Ning Qi's current strength, if he can't complete it, then having one more Taoist Longshan will not help.

Even if he really encountered an invincible enemy, Ning Qi could still escape by himself with many means, but if Longshan Taoist was there, he might have to fight to the death, so it was actually the best choice for him to go alone.

Longshan Taoist 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 that of my master now, if I go with you, there will always be someone to take care of you. There are probably powerful people in the Heavenly Realm behind the forces in the southern border." He was still a little worried.

Ning Qi just smiled.

The next moment.

The jade liquid sea in his body vibrated, and strands of aura vibrated, surrounding the two of them.

Longshan Taoist's expression changed slightly, and he immediately mobilized the power of heaven and earth to resist the oppression, but no matter how hard he tried, the terrifying aura around him always remained at a strong level, and there was a feeling of unfathomable depth.

Even after he had tried his best, Ning Qi was still calm.

Taoist Longshan finally smiled bitterly and waved his hand:

"Forget it, Xiaojiu, you should be more careful."

He felt bitter and proud at the same time.

Last year, he used the power of heaven and earth to measure Ning Qi's strength, but now Ning Qi used the power of heaven and earth to measure the strength of his power of heaven and earth. As time passed, the roles of the two changed so quickly that he was a little caught off guard.

He also understood.

With the current strength of his disciple, if he forced himself to follow him, he would not only not be able to help much, but might even drag him down.

Thinking of this.

Taoist Longshan was no longer obsessed. As Ning Qi said, 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."

The Taoist Longshan said again:

"If it's convenient, kill the murderer who destroyed the Divine Sword Sect together. It can also be regarded as an explanation to the spirit of Brother Divine Sword in heaven."

Ning Qi nodded seriously.

That was his original intention.

...

The next day.

Ning Qi claimed to be in seclusion, but actually went down the mountain quietly. No one knew except Taoist Longshan.

At this moment.

Ning Qi turned into a middle-aged man in black clothes. He walked on the bluestone street, feeling the coming and going of people and the fireworks, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

It has been nine years since he traveled to this world.

But strictly speaking, this is the first time he has been so far away from Zhenwu Mountain. The farthest place he has been before is Zhenwu City.

However, it was only a little fresh at first.

After a few more turns, Ning Qi felt that it was nothing more than that. He would not be shaken by the sight of the prosperity of the world. This time he went down the mountain just to settle the old things nine years ago.

Identifying the direction of Canghe Prefecture City, Ning Qi stepped into the air without being noticed.

…

Canghe Prefecture City.

It is also a well-known prefecture city in Qingzhou. Its prosperity can be ranked among the top five in Qingzhou. Its internal forces are 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 to sit down. He looked ordinary now, and his aura was not strong, so he would hardly attract any attention.

After ordering a few side dishes casually, Ning Qi sensed the movements around him and captured the information he wanted.

"Hey, have you heard that the son of the Iron Fist Sect's great elder was kidnapped by the Black Wind Bandits? This old man's son was precious, but he was abused to death..."

"Is this true? Aren't the two families going to fight?"

"Yes, it is said that the two families sat down to talk several times, but they all ended in failure. 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's not so easy to destroy them?"

...

Ning Qi listened and was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that only two or three days had passed, and the confrontation between the two first-class forces was already exposed.

Obviously.

This is someone who is fanning the flames.

I'm afraid it involves the open and secret struggles of certain forces, and there may even be shadows of the Demon Sect and the government.

But Ning Qi doesn't care. With his current strength, the struggle between a group of Gangyuan realms is just like playing house.

Da Yan is vast.

The realm of heaven and man is not so easy to appear.

"Since that 'Thunder''s target is the leader of the Black Wind Pirates, I will wait at the Black Wind Pirates in advance."

Ning Qi's idea is simple.

As long as you see 'Thunder', the rest will be easy.

His soul-catching pupil technique has now gone a step further. With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, he is enough to ask for a lot of information. He doesn't think that usually this 'Thunder' will bring a kind of Gu like the one the woman used to commit suicide last time. Otherwise, if If you accidentally encounter the realm of heaven and humans, wouldn't it be in vain?

People wouldn't be that stupid. That kind of thing must be equipped when carrying out dangerous missions with a high possibility of death.

Ning Qi is not in a hurry.

Silently feeling the prosperity of Canghe City.

It's rare to go down the mountain, although I won't miss it, but when you experience it carefully, you will have a different state of mind, and you will have a different touch on enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye.

Another four days have passed.

Ning Qi quietly walked towards Heifeng Mountain.

He has not been idle these past few days, and has already secretly figured out the topography of Black Wind Mountain.

It's late at night.

He changed his shape and held 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 after.

A cry of death suddenly erupted in the night sky.

"Old Gou Zhao, give my son back his life!"

A loud shout filled with grief, anger and fury kicked off the night battle.

A hearty laugh sounded:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your son tastes really good. My brothers and I played for three days and three nights. He is even more tender than the courtesans in Xuehuafang. It's a pity, it's a pity. If only he could last longer, he might be better. You can show it to Mr. Sun for yourself!"

There was a lot of unbridled laughter.

One by one the warriors came out fiercely.

New and old grudges, entangled interests.

The two forces are engaged in a fierce confrontation in a strange and dangerous place, and there are even more than just two forces, there are other forces making bets.

in.

The Body Tempering Realm warriors are the most numerous, the Neiyuan Realm warriors are the backbone, and the very few Gangyuan Realm warriors will determine the trend of the final battlefield.

Ning Qi just stood in the dark and watched quietly, no one could notice his presence.

With his current strength, looking at the extremely dangerous battle before now, it was like watching a child play house, and it felt like a full-level boss was running rampant in the novice village.

He was waiting for ‘Thunder’ to appear.

The power gap between the two parties is not that big at the moment, and only the killers from Blood Rain Tower appear to be able to make a final decision.

The fighting became more intense.

Ning Qi is very patient.

Suddenly.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at the most intense battlefield. The master of the Iron Fist Sect and the master of the Black Wind Bandits were fighting. In the shadows, a figure was quietly approaching. No one except Ning Qi noticed it.

"Coming!"

Ning Qi's idea just came to mind.

Murderous intent suddenly appeared in the shadow, and a long sword was like lightning and thunder, stabbing at the master.

The leader of the Iron Fist Sect also seized the opportunity to explode with all his strength.

So a two-pronged approach.

In just a short moment, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits was dead.

Everyone in the Black Wind Bandits was horrified, and this sudden change completely panicked them.

Needless to say, the next result goes without saying.

With the addition of two Gang Yuan Realm powerhouses, another group of fresh troops dressed in black came out, and what followed was a one-sided massacre.

The screams were endless.

It didn't take long.

The fighting had completely stopped.

Everyone in Iron Fist Gate cheered.

But the sect master and the great elder looked at the black-clothed killers with cold auras, their eyes a little fearful:

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Lei! You are indeed the famous gold medal killer of Blood Rain Tower in Qingzhou, I admire you!"

There was no sadness or joy in Lei's voice, he just said calmly:

"Just follow what was agreed in advance."

The master of the Iron Fist Sect nodded, feeling a little hurt in his heart. The price to pay for the gold medal killer of Blood Rain Tower was not small.

"clear."

After a while, the loot was captured.

Everyone in the Iron Fist Sect left, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, a fire started rising on the Black Wind Mountain.

The great elder was puzzled:

"Why did the Blood Rain Tower set fire? Didn't he want Black Wind Mountain?"

Iron Fist Gate took a deep look at the mountain:

"No matter what they are doing, the more they know, the faster they will die. I will have to deal with these people less in the future. I always feel that they are a little evil."

…

Black Wind Mountain.

The fire was raging.

But unlike everyone in the Iron Fist Sect who thought that everything was burned to the ground, the corpses of the warriors were neatly stacked together.

‘Lei’ looked at the many corpses with fiery eyes, feeling particularly happy.

Among them were two or three corpses from the Gangyuan realm, one of whom even reached the Yuandan realm and was of very high quality.

Ever since he discovered that someone was secretly investigating, Xueyulou has been acting cautiously, just looking for some mosquito meat everywhere, and now he finally found an opportunity to eat a big bite!

"Starve the timid to death, and starve the bold to death. Thanks to this achievement, the blood pool is enough for the Blood King Gu to absorb one more time. Those useless things have nothing to say. They can't even destroy the Divine Sword Sect, and they still blame us. They deserve it too!”

‘Lei’ felt a little disdainful.

This time, through the dispute between the two major forces, these corpses were brought back unnoticed and no one could find them. A fire was enough to wipe out all traces, and this was a normal conflict between martial arts sects. , and there will be no suspicion.

He ordered in a deep voice:

"Take these bodies back!"

"Yes, Lord Lei!"

The black-clad assassins began to act. The bodies had already been stabbed, so they were relieved.

The long-prepared carriage took the bodies away.

But they didn't know.

In the dark, a calm gaze was watching them.

Ning Qi's expression was a little amused.

He originally planned to capture Lei directly, and then kill them directly to their lair after interrogating him with pupil skills.

But now, he has a better idea.

...

Lei sat upright in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.

The killing also consumed his energy. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't find the source.

"Where are we?" he asked in a deep voice.

A respectful voice came from outside the carriage:

A correct version of the book in 1619!

"Sir, we will reach the base in about an hour."

Lei took a deep breath.

He walked out of the carriage.

He felt that he needed to relax his tense spirit.

"Take a break, check if there are any survivors among those corpses."

After saying that.

He walked towards the dense forest alone.

As soon as he entered the dense forest, his eyes changed. He hid in the dark, and kept scanning the busy black-clothed men with sharp eyes. He also sensed the surroundings from time to time. He believed in his intuition and would never feel wrong.

If there was really someone secretly spying.

Either he was disguised as a corpse, or mixed in the team, or followed in the dark.

He knew clearly that someone had been secretly investigating them in recent days, so it was never too careful.

But after watching for a while.

There was nothing to find, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Am I really feeling wrong?" Lei just had this thought in his mind, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

A series of faint voices entered his ears:

"Are you...looking for me?"

Lei was instantly horrified, and a chill rushed straight to his head, but he could no longer breathe out. A big hand pinched his neck, and the terrifying pressure enveloped every inch of his flesh and blood. He even heard the groaning of his muscles and bones.

No matter how vigilant he was, he could not escape the dimensionality reduction attack.

Ning Qi was too comprehensive.

Ning Qi stared at the fierce-looking middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes like a deep pool:

"Look into my eyes."

...

After a while.

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 transformed by Ning Qi.

With his mastery of the Shape-Shifting Skill, even people who have been with Lei day and night can't find any flaws.

Just now in the dense forest.

Ning Qi was well prepared and had asked many questions he wanted to know with his pupil technique. With the experience of asking the charming woman before, Ning Qi cleverly avoided some questions that he couldn't ask this time.

Now knowing information such as various handover codes, organizational structure, whether there are masters behind the scenes, etc., is enough for him to temporarily disguise Lei's identity.

This is Ning Qi's new idea.

It is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net when killing them one by one. These people don't usually gather in one place. If that 'Master Feng' gets the news and runs away, it will be troublesome to find them again.

But if there is an identity of Lei, you can find a reason to gather everyone together.

At that time.

It would be great to catch them all in one net.

So as not to waste time in vain.

"According to Lei, there are probably two groups of people from the Blood Rain Tower and the nameless force in Qingzhou. 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 two fat and thin elders each have a Blood King Gu in their hands. Generally, if they have a big harvest, they will ask one of the elders to bring the Blood King Gu."

"It seems that only these two people know what the Blood King Gu is specifically 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 relics. This was not a conjecture, but was seen from the way the Blood King Gu was cultivated.

"The Gu worms that absorb the essence of human blood must contain extremely abundant vitality."

For a moment, Ning Qi's interest became even stronger.

If he could get these two Blood King Gu, perhaps he could shorten the time it takes to advance to Yuan Dan.

Since he was here, Ning Qi would not miss it. After all, it was a convenient thing to do after revenge.

"The fat elder seems a little weak, so first invite the fat elder with the harvest this time, and then invite everyone in the name of the fat elder!"

"Otherwise, it would be a bit abrupt if Lei directly summoned other people."

Ning Qi had a plan in mind.

The convoy moved forward quickly.

An hour later.

They had already arrived at the stronghold.

The location of this stronghold was very secret, between a valley, and there were heavy guards in the dark. The convoy full of corpses was strictly checked, and even Ning Qi was checked.

However, Ning Qi's shape-shifting technique was superb, and no one could see the clues.

After entering the valley.

Everyone carried the corpse into the underground palace.

And then they reached the deepest part of the underground palace.

Ning Qi looked at the blood pool in front of him, and a trace of murderous intent rose in his heart.

It was hard to imagine how many people had died.

It didn't matter that the Black Wind Bandits burned, killed and looted like this, but most of them were probably innocent people.

In the blood pool.

The bloody smell was pungent. In addition to human blood, there were also many precious medicinal herbs. Ning Qi only sniffed slightly and roughly identified a few of them. He watched the corpses being thrown into the blood pool one by one. The corpses gradually melted with bubbles, looking particularly evil.

As the corpses of powerful warriors were thrown into it, the evil vitality in the blood pool became more and more intense, and the blood pool became clear.

It vaguely reached a certain limit.

Several confidants around him all knelt down and shouted:

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir! This success will definitely get a generous reward from the two elders!"

Ning Qi laughed and waved:

"Come on, quickly send a message to invite the fat elder!"

There was some expectation in his eyes.

...

In the stronghold.

Ning Qi was alone.

Even with the Shape-Shifting Technique, there was a possibility that one would say too much and make mistakes.

He silently waited for the arrival of the Fat Elder.

The blood pool reached its limit, which was a normal process, and the Fat Elder would not have any doubts.

One day later.

A figure came from above the stronghold.

This 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 breath.

"He is just an ordinary Heavenly Man Realm, and his strength is probably at the level of Xiaoyao Jun."

His mind was turning over his thoughts, but his hands were not slow.

"We have met the Fat Elder!"

The Fat Elder snorted in response, his eyes stayed on Ning Qi, and finally praised:

"Lei, you did a good job. If you keep it up, I recommend you to become the owner of the Blood Rain Tower."

The position of the owner of the Blood Rain Tower has been vacant since its establishment, making the four gold medal killers very jealous.

Ning Qi pretended to be ecstatic and tried his best to restrain himself:

"It is our duty to serve the elders, and we dare not 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, the others all retreated respectfully, and the door was closed. Only Ning Qi and the fat elder were left here.

This is a routine. Others only know that they have to collect blood pools, but they don’t know what this blood pool is used for. Only the core Yuandan realm masters know the existence of the Blood King Gu.

The fat elder looked at the blood pool in front of him with extremely strong evil vitality, and his eyes were extremely hot.

"Good! Well done! Better than those rubbish Zhao Dong!"

He did not hesitate to praise.

Ning Qi hurriedly responded with compliments.

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 and seemed to have the effect of nourishment.

The fat elder was mumbling something in his mouth, speaking at an extremely fast speed, not in the official language of Dayan.

Ning Qi was shocked, listening carefully to the changes in his syllables, and paying attention to the fluctuations of his qi. He seemed to have some understanding in his heart. This should be the art of controlling Gu, which is not difficult.

Then he saw a blood-colored Gu worm lazily crawling out of the purple jade bamboo tube.

He saw it clearly.

The Gu worm was about the size of an adult's thumb, and its body was like blood-colored agate. There were strange lines 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 so powerful and a little small.

"Is this the Blood King Gu?"

As soon as the Blood King Gu appeared, the 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 relic, and the effect was even better than the relic.

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 wings, it landed in the blood pool.

Then it went deep 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, and was being absorbed by the Blood King Gu. Although the Blood King Gu could not be seen, Ning Qi could feel that the vitality in its body was rapidly growing, and even some kind of power was changing qualitatively, which 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 vaguely understood the purpose of this Blood King Gu.

If the Blood King Gu matures, it may be a treasure that can allow people to break into the realm of heaven and man.
