Chapter 138 Sinister
"It seems that if you want to get in, you need a key."

Chu Qing felt for the keyhole. It was embedded in the stone wall and was made of metal. But he didn't know what method was used to make the stone wall and the metal fit together perfectly.
"This technology is truly amazing."

Wen Fusheng glanced at Chu Qing:
“That person should have the key… This may be the only entrance and exit besides the Tianji Valley gate.

“But even if we get the key, we’ll probably be discovered if we go in like this.

"By then, we will surely alert the enemy..."

The old beggar once said that the Tianji Valley was heavily decorated with various deadly moves.

Now it is unclear whether these numerous arrangements are people, or mechanisms? Or are they some kind of ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, or poisons...

We need to investigate it thoroughly before we can resolve the Luochen Villa incident without leaving any trouble.

The problem is not just the Tianxie cult, the key lies in people's hearts.

If we don't let that group of people give up, even if we let them go to Tianji Valley and there is no Tianxie Cult... they will still suspect that the things in Tianji Valley were done by Luochen Villa. In this way, Luochen Villa will never have peace in the future.

Chu Qing thought for a while and asked Wen Fusheng:

"Master Wen, do you have any method of torture to extract a confession?"

Wen Fusheng groaned slightly:
"I have a martial art called [Soul-piercing Finger]. If you get hit, it's worse than death. Maybe you can give it a try?"

"Then try it."

Chu Qing said:

“The man we captured today was a breakthrough, and now that we have found this place, it is the second breakthrough.

“Let’s see if we can dig something out of that person’s mouth first.

"Find a way to explore this place and see if what we see and hear can correspond to what they said."

"it is good."

Wen Fusheng nodded:
"Then we have to hurry... since that person is hiding here, if he is captured accidentally, the people in Tianji Valley might notice it.

"We must seize the advantage before they take further action."

After the two of them discussed it briefly, they took Wenrou out.

After two trips back and forth, my clothes were all wet.

But now they had no time to sit down and practice their skills, so the three of them used their lightness skills to reach that halfway point.

One on the left and the other on the right grabbed onto Wenrou's shoulders, leaped up, and flew more than ten feet along the mountain wall before reaching the top of the cliff.

Wen Pingce stood up quickly:
"Big brother, fourth brother!"

Wen Fusheng pondered for a moment, then became furious:
"What a mess, what are you yelling about?"

Chu Qing glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Master Wen wants to become sworn brothers with me, big brother, are you unwilling?"

absurd!

Wen Fusheng glared at Wen Pingce. Wen Pingce scratched his head, wondering why his elder brother was so angry.
"You call me big brother, so how can I talk to Xiao Rou'er?"

Wen Fusheng glared at Chu Qing again.

Without waiting for Chu Qing to speak, Wen Rou spoke with ease:
"To each his own."

"..."

Wen Fusheng felt that it was a big mistake not to keep his daughter by his side for so many years. How could a guy like Cui Paozhao raise a good child?
She was such a good little princess, what has happened to her?

However, this is not the time to educate the children, so let Wen Pingce continue to guard here. If there is any unusual movement, there is no need to conflict with the other side, and he should immediately return to Luochen Villa to report.

Afterwards, the three of them hurriedly left here, followed the path to the forbidden cave, returned to the forbidden area, and returned to Luochen Villa.

The disciples of Luochen Villa who were guarding the forbidden area looked at each other.

The owner of the manor did come early in the morning...

But when did the Third Young Master and the Eldest Young Miss run into the forbidden area?
Could it be that I have been here before and forgot about it?
The three of them finally split up and returned to Luochen Villa in two groups. After all, Wen Fusheng still had a reputation of being an assassin, so it was not appropriate for him to wander around so openly.

He hid his tracks and returned stealthily.

Chu Qing and Wenrou returned to the yard openly.

As soon as he came in, he saw Si Ye guarding the door. When he saw Chu Qing and Wen Rou, he stepped forward and bowed to greet them.

"What about people?"

Chu Qing got straight to the point.

Time waits for no one these days, so hurry up if possible.

Si Ye subconsciously glanced at Wen Rou, then pointed at the door and said:

"in the room."

Chu Qing was stunned, his ears twitched. There was indeed someone in the room, but it was not the same person as before.

The man was injured by him, so it was impossible for his breathing to be so steady:
"Who's in my room?"

"A girl."

Si Ye listened to Chu Qing's question frankly and answered it without any hesitation.

Wenrou immediately turned her head to look at Chu Qing, with a hint of surprise in her clear eyes.

Chu Qing thought about it for a moment and realized that the woman who would come to him at this time... was probably only one.

To Wenrou said:
"Wait for me, I'll be fine soon."

She nodded gently, without any dissatisfaction.

Chu Qing walked over quickly, pushed open the door, and saw Xia Wanshuang sitting at the table, looking at the door helplessly.

Feeling a little helpless, Xia Wanshuang began to have some doubts. She thought that he came here tonight probably to test herself and get an answer.

Their eyes met and Xia Wanshuang opened her mouth several times, not knowing what to say.

It was Chu Qing who spoke first:
“Miss Xia is persistent about repaying a favor.

"But running into a man's room at this hour... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Xia Wanshuang looked at Chu Qing:

“Sir, you misunderstood. I came a little early, but I didn’t expect that you were away because of something.

"There's nothing else to do, so I'm waiting here."

She paused for a moment, and looked into Chu Qing's eyes:
"My Lord, is it true that you only saved my life?"

"Um……"

Chu Qing did not deliberately avoid her eyes:

"That little thing yesterday can't be considered a favor, right?"

Chu Qing's eyes did not avoid him at all, Xia Wanshuang could not help but turn her head away:
“I come from a merchant family, and I am a trustworthy person, and I don’t want to owe anyone a favor.

"Although my martial arts skills are low, as long as you can say it and I can do it, there is absolutely no reason not to do it."

Chu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he knew in his heart that he had dealt with this wave of attacks...but this woman was a trouble after all.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will inevitably grow into towering trees. If this towering tree is not properly controlled, it may grow branches.

Fortunately, this seed is still small, and as long as it is not allowed to continue growing, there will be no problems.

Or maybe this seed will grow according to your own wishes...

Thinking of this, he said softly:

“Miss Xia wants to repay you for saving my life, but I have two things that I need help with.

"You just have to pick one."

"Please explain clearly, sir."

Xia Wanshuang clasped her fists and spoke.

“The first thing is the girl you saw during the day, and her brother.

“They are not from the Jianghu, and it was just a coincidence that they ended up in Luochen Villa.

"I asked them to return home tomorrow. Although the journey home is not too far, there may be some unexpected events.

"Miss Xia, if you can help me send them home safely, then the previous favor will be written off."

After listening to this, Xia Wanshuang nodded slightly:

"What about the second thing?"

"The second thing... is a bit troublesome." Chu Qing said:

"The Divine Sword Hall committed evil and ended up losing the Divine Sword City.

“Dragon Spear Fang Tianrui is stationed in Divine Sword City, so this place now has a backer again.

"There is a lot of waste there now, so this is an opportunity...

"Miss Xia said she came from a merchant family, so she probably knows a thing or two about making money?
"How about I give you money and you help me run some business in Shendao City?"

"what?"

Xia Wanshuang was stunned:

"What kind of business is this?"

"Miss Xia decides what kind of business to do, I only look at the results."

He said and looked at Xia Wanshuang:
"Miss Xia, which one do you want to choose?"

"..."

Xia Wanshuang pondered for a while, then said:
"I choose the second one."

Chu Qing looked at Xia Wanshuang deeply, took out a stack of gold leaves from his sleeve and placed them on the table:

"This is the capital... I have a favor for Dragon Spear Fang Tianrui. I will write a letter tomorrow. After you arrive at Divine Sword City, if you have any difficulties, you can go to see Fang Tianrui with this letter and my name."

"it is good."

Summer's late frost collects the golden leaves:
"Sir, aren't you afraid? After I take this golden leaf, I will escape from Luochen Villa tonight?"

"Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, don't doubt those who are employed."

Chu Qing smiled:
"It's just a casual move. Since there's no hope, why bother?"

Xia Wanshuang gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that this person really didn't take her seriously.

He took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Chu Qing also followed her out the door. After seeing her walk away, he retracted his gaze and said to Wenrou:
"It's late at night, go back and rest first. It's better for you not to be present for what happens next."

Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing after hearing this, and nodded slightly:

"I see."

Watching Wenrou leave, Chu Qing said to Si Ye:

"Take me to see that person."

Si Ye immediately led Chu Qing out of the yard. The place where the man was imprisoned was not far away and the surrounding area was also strictly guarded.

Entered the yard and opened the door to the main room.

I saw the man lying on the bed, like a puddle of mud.

He didn't sleep, his meridians felt like they were cut by a knife, and the internal force and frosty energy left by Chu Qing made him suffer terribly.

His spine was shattered, and lying like this was like torture, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't sleep.

When he saw Chu Qing and Si Ye coming, he gritted his teeth:

"You despicable villain...I will definitely kill you!!"

Chu Qing turned his gaze away from him and glanced at the scattered things on the table.

“This is something he carries with him.”

Si Ye explained to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing nodded and said:
"Please invite the owner of the manor carefully."

"Yes."

Si Ye agreed and turned to leave.

Chu Qing counted the things on the table, starting with thirteen skull needles.

Behind them were various types of elixirs, and next to the elixirs was a pair of gloves. I didn't know what material they were made of, but they were soft to the touch and looked very comfortable to wear.

Next to it is a key.

This key has two parts. When released, it becomes a metal stick. When turned, branches spread out from inside, which looks very delicate.

Chu Qing took the key while looking at it, played with it, and finally put it in his arms.

He took out the skull needle again, chuckled and said:
"Soul Chaser Sang Qing, whose light skill is [Hundred Ghosts Wandering], comes without a shadow, leaves without a form, moves like a ghost or spirit, and makes no sound.

"Your specialty is the [Thirteen Needles of Ghostly Crying and God Howling]. Seeing you perform it today really opened my eyes.

"It's a pity that I haven't really fought with you."

When he said this, Sang Qing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly changed his expression:
"How...how do you know my name?"

"Not only do I know you... I also know that there is another Soul Capture Guard Shiye in Tianji Valley.

"And...Lord Tomb, Zang Hansheng."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

“To be honest, we already know everything about your arrangements in Tianji Valley.

"He wants to use the Heavenly Secret Order to lure the heroes of the martial arts world into Luochen Villa, and then show the location of the Heavenly Secret Valley to everyone...

"Use the arrangement you have prepared long ago to kill people...cause a bloody incident, and awaken the Heavenly Demon Cloth with the blood of the master!
“The Tianxie Cult is indeed very generous and has a very sinister heart!
"It's just that it's too naive for you to show off your little tricks in front of me.

“To tell you the truth, when you tell us the location of Tianji Valley, all the heroes from Jianghu will enter the valley.

“That was the time when Zang Hansheng and Shiye died!
"If you want to use the blood of the heroes to accomplish your goal, then you should be prepared to die at their hands."

With every word Chu Qing said, Sang Qing's face became paler and more incredulous.

After Chu Qing finished speaking, he subconsciously shook his head:

"Impossible... Even though you know that we have placed 'Huangquan Powder' in Tianji Tower, it is impossible for you to get so many antidotes!!"

Huangquan powder!
Chu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.

This item was once used by people from the Divine Sword Hall, and some was also given to Yinfeng Village.

Yinfeng Village took advantage of this and let the residents of the town poison passers-by and plunder Yinfeng Village's property and people.

This thing has a strong medicinal property and requires a unique antidote to detoxify it.

But Chu Qing had too few antidotes for this thing on him.

It would be impossible to find out what medicinal ingredients the antidote is made of or to re-refine it within a day or two.

I'm afraid this will be troublesome.

However, he couldn't just believe the other party's words, and immediately sneered:
"You're about to die, but you still don't tell the truth?
"Did you really place Huangquan Powder in Tianji Tower?"

After hearing this, Sang Qing was confused for a moment.

After a while, he seemed to react and became furious:
"You lied to me again!!

"You...you don't know our arrangement in Tianji Valley at all, you are deceiving me!!"

Chu Qing nodded:

"Now we can basically confirm that it is Huangquan Powder."

Sang Qing almost bit his back teeth to pieces, closed his eyes and simply stopped talking to Chu Qing.

This despicable man is too treacherous and sinister.

How on earth had he come up with such a flawless statement just now?

So much so that I believed him without any hesitation...

The point is, everything he said was right.

He was only vague about the arrangements within the Tianji Valley, which made him subconsciously speak out about this matter.

Thinking back on how he fell into this man's hands, Sang Qing broke out in a cold sweat.

It's really too sinister.

Chu Qing was happy to see this:

"You're quite interesting, like a child. Do you ignore people when you're angry?"
