Chapter 128: Chapter 112: Following the Clues and Catching Them All (Two-in-One)_2
As long as we meet ’Lei’, the rest will be easy to handle.
His Soul Capturing Eye Technique has improved further, now with the Power of Heaven and Earth to support it, it’s sufficient to extract a lot of information. He doesn’t think this ’Lei’ would typically carry a Gu Insect like that woman used for suicide last time, otherwise, if he accidentally encountered a Celestial Being, wouldn’t it be in vain?
People aren’t that foolish. Those kinds of things are surely only used during missions with a high likelihood of death.
Ning Qi is not in a hurry.
Silently experiencing the prosperity of Canghe Prefecture City.
It’s a rare trip down the mountain. While there’s no attachment, experiencing it deeply is a change of mindset, which might provoke a different kind of inspiration for Enlightenment.
In a blink.
Another four days passed.
Ning Qi silently headed towards Black Wind Mountain.
During these days, he was not idle and had secretly familiarized himself with the terrain of Black Wind Mountain.
It was late at night.
He changed his appearance and concealed his breath, like a ghost, treading in the air from the perilous back cliff. He released his Perception, quietly waiting with a calm heart.
Soon after.
Suddenly, cries and shouts of killing erupted in the night sky.
"Dog Zhao, give me back the life of my son!"
A loud cry full of grief and fury started the night battle.
A hearty laugh was heard:
"Tsk tsk tsk, your son’s flavor was indeed not bad. My brothers and I played with him for three days and nights; he was even tenderer than the courtesans of Snowflake House. What a pity, what a pity, if only he could last longer, maybe Old Man Sun could have seen for himself!"
Loud, unrestrained laughter echoed continuously.
One ferocious Martial Artist after another charged out.
New grudges and old hatreds, entangled interests.
The two forces were fiercely clashing in a treacherous spot, with other forces even placing bets.
Among them.
There were the most Martial Artists at the Body Tempering Realm, the Inner Essence Realm Martial Artists were the backbone, and a few Gang Essence Realm Martial Artists would decide the ultimate outcome of the battlefield.
Ning Qi just stood in the shadows watching, undetected by anyone.
With his current strength, watching this perilous battle was like watching children play, giving him the feeling of being a high-level player bullying novices in the newbie village.
He was waiting for ’Lei’ to appear.
The gap between the two forces wasn’t that big, only the appearance of the assassins from Blood Rain Tower could deliver a decisive blow.
The battle grew ever more intense.
Ning Qi was very patient.
Suddenly.
He raised an eyebrow, focusing on the most intense battleground, where the Iron Fist Sect Leader and the Black Wind Thieves’ leader were locked in a struggle. In the shadows, a figure stealthily approached, unnoticed by anyone but Ning Qi.
"Here it comes!"
Just as this thought crossed Ning Qi’s mind.
A killing intent suddenly appeared from the shadows, a long sword like lightning and thunder, stabbing towards the leader.
The Iron Fist Sect Leader seized the opportunity to unleash his full power.
With this two-pronged approach.
In just a brief moment, the Black Wind Thieves’ leader was killed.
Everyone in the Black Wind Thieves was shocked, this sudden change threw them into chaos.
The following outcome needs no further elaboration.
With the addition of two Gang Essence Realm experts, and a new wave of black-clad reinforcements joining the fight, it was a one-sided massacre.
Screams echoed unceasingly.
Not long after.
The battle came to a complete halt.
Everyone in the Iron Fist Sect cheered.
But the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder looked at the black-clad assassins with a hint of apprehension:
"Many thanks for Lord Lei’s assistance! Truly worthy of the Blood Rain Tower’s gold-class assassins, renowned in Qing State, I am impressed!"
Lei’s voice was emotionless, he simply said calmly:
"Just as agreed beforehand."
The Iron Fist Sect Leader nodded, feeling a bit of pain in his heart, as the price for hiring Blood Rain Tower’s gold-class assassins was no small cost.
"Understood."
Moments later, the spoils of war were collected.
Everyone in the Iron Fist Sect departed, and once they reached the foot of the mountain, a great fire was set ablaze on Black Wind Mountain.
The Grand Elder was puzzled:
"Why is Blood Rain Tower setting a fire? Didn’t they want Black Wind Mountain?"
The Iron Fist Sect took a deep gaze towards the mountain:
"Why worry about so much, the more you know, the faster you die, better deal less with these kinds of people in the future, they always seem a bit sinister."
...
On Black Wind Mountain.
The fire burned fiercely.
But it wasn’t as the Iron Fist Sect thought, where everything was reduced to ash, instead the bodies of numerous Martial Artists were neatly arranged together.
’Lei’s eyes were fervent as he gazed at the many bodies, feeling particularly delighted.
Among them, there were two or three bodies of Gang Essence Realm, one even reaching the Primordial Core Realm, with high quality.
Ever since they found out someone was secretly investigating, Blood Rain Tower had been acting cautiously, just looking for scraps here and there, finally finding an opportunity to take a big bite this time!
"Fearless of hunger, daring brings prosperity, with this achievement, the Blood Pool already has enough to let the Blood King Gu absorb again, those worthless things have no room to complain, they can’t even destroy the Divine Sword Sect, and they dare blame us, they are unworthy!"
’Lei’ felt a bit disdainful in his heart.
Taking advantage of the conflict between the two major forces to pull off a stealth move under the table, quietly bringing these bodies back, no one would find out, a big fire would erase all traces, and since this was a normal Martial Path Sect dispute, it wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.
He commanded in a deep voice:
"Bring these bodies back!"
"Yes, Lord Lei!"
One by one, the black-clad assassins began to move, assured since the bodies had already received additional cuts.
The ready-prepared carts took the bodies away.
But they didn’t know.
In the shadows, a calm gaze had been watching them all along.
