Chapter 188 Hiding Place
When Chu Qing and Wen Rou heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.

The poison was lost...and then picked up by Wenrou.

Well, that makes sense!

It was just the two people who were talking, and it was obvious that they did not explain the situation clearly.

I heard confusion in that person's voice:

"Why did you throw away the poison?"

"I didn't throw away the poison..."

The hoarse voice defended:

"It's poison, throw it away!"

"So why was it lost?"

The other party was even more confused: "Don't you want to kill Cao Qiupu? As long as you kill Cao Qiupu, you will definitely have a place on the Seventy-two Demon Killing List."

"Don't you understand people?"

The owner of the hoarse voice suddenly became gloomy:
"I didn't lose the poison; I lost the poison."

"..."

The person on the other side was silent for a while:
"You were the one who lost it..."

"I……"

The hoarse voice wanted to make some excuses, but found that it could not refute anything.

The poison had indeed been dropped from his own hands.

But the problem is that he has been preparing and using poisons for many years.

There has never been a precedent of losing the poison I carry with me... I don't know what happened this time. I had already arrived at the designated place, but the only thing left was to poison me.

As a result, when he reached out and touched it, the poison was gone.

He searched up and down several times but couldn't find it.

It was like seeing a ghost.

I was already upset, and now I was even more angry when I heard what the other party said:
"Stop talking nonsense, it's lost..."

"Now what?"

"Get me some herbs, and I'll prepare some more."

The owner of the hoarse voice said coldly:
"It's just a small matter to me."

"...This fortress is heavily guarded. It's already difficult for you and me to sneak in... It's impossible to bring in more medicinal herbs.

"Don't underestimate Tie Lingyun.

"This guy looks rough on the outside, but he's actually very smart. Otherwise, with his martial arts skills, how could he have taken over the huge business of the Iron Blood Hall?"

"What should I do? So far, I have already attacked Cao Qiupu and Hua Meiren twice.

“The first time I borrowed the golden hook from the Xu family, I let him get poisoned, but I didn’t expect that he would escape by luck.

“The second time, I used the [Seven Night Magic Mushrooms] to poison an entire village, and just gathered them in the forest... but I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t do anything to them.

"Cao Qiupu and Hua Meiren are extremely wary of me now. I should take advantage of the fact that they have just arrived at the Iron Blood Hall camp and are not yet fully alert to everything around them.

"Once we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Having said this, the two of them paused, seemingly at a stalemate.

After a while, the voice on the other side spoke:
"I'll find a way to get you out. You go directly to the hiding place in the canyon, and I'll have someone deliver the herbs to you.

“When you go there, prepare the poison directly.

"By the way, don't touch the things in there...

"That was prepared for the masters on the Demon Slayer List. They are coming to assassinate Tie Lingyun."

"Oh?"

The hoarse voice laughed:

"But I don't know who is coming this time?"

"This has nothing to do with you... Wait until one day, when you are able to ascend to the Evil Slayer Ranking, then come and ask about these matters."

When Chu Qing heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

The two people talking here, one is Gui Du and the other should be his contact.

But the contact person coordinated more than just one killer.

This person is also responsible for contacting the masters on the 72 Evil-Slaying List.

The canyon they are talking about... should be the Ghost Gorge.

However, the Ghost Gorge is a desolate place and normally no one would live there. Unexpectedly, they actually created a hiding place out of it.

But I don’t know where it is?
Thinking of this, Chu Qing pulled Wenrou a little further away.

Since the contact person wants to send the poison out, there is no need to rush to take action inside the city.

You can wait until they reach their hiding place in the canyon and then kill Guidu.

At the same time, you can wait there for the masters on the Evil-Slaying List to fall into their trap.

But this contact person cannot be let go.

But if you kill the contact person directly at this time, there is a chance that it will alert the enemy.

You can let Tie Lingyun send someone to secretly monitor the movements first, and then get rid of this contact person after you have killed all the masters on the list.

After going over the matter in his mind, he heard a creaking sound and the door opened. A plain-looking man walked out first. He was wearing the attire of an Iron Blood Hall disciple and looked no different from an ordinary Iron Blood Hall disciple.

About a cup of tea's time after he left, another person came out.

Although this person was dressed exactly like the other disciples of the Iron Blood Hall, Chu Qing still recognized him at a glance.

He was the man in black whom he had met once in the main hall of Qimei Villa.

Chu Qing's gaze did not stay on him for too long, and he directly asked Wenrou to take him to find the contact person.

After moving around in the city for a while, when he saw the contact person again, he was next to the law enforcement elder.

The law enforcement elder's name is Xu Cunxiao. According to Tie Lingyun, this person has been with him for many years and has always been upright.

But I don’t know whether I was deceived by this contact or he had betrayed me a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh again.

The Tiexuetang is so big and has so many people that good and bad people are mixed together. It is not easy for Tie Lingyun to bring this huge and leaky Tiexuetang to its current state.

I just don’t know whether Tie Lingyun himself knows that there is more than just Cheng Tieshan’s accountant who has problems.

Even his own law enforcement elder could be a spy?

Chu Qing and Wenrou followed the contact person for a while, and only left after they confirmed his residence.

Afterwards, they found the place where Guidu and his contact were plotting, and from there they followed the smell of Guidu to search for him.

The smell has gradually spread outside the city.

The contact person's execution ability was indeed strong. He said he would send the poison out, and he did not stop for a moment. He sent the person away in such a short time.

Chu Qing and Wen Rou chased forward for a while and found that the group of people who walked out of the city were a convoy responsible for transporting supplies.

Only halfway through the journey, Gui Du had already left the convoy.

Continuing to follow the smell, we gradually walked to the edge of the cliff of Guishen Gorge.

This is an extremely large canyon, with hundreds of feet between the two ends and extending hundreds of miles on the ground.

It is a natural barrier between the Iron Blood Hall and the Fiery Hall.

To get from here to there, if you take a detour, you will have to walk hundreds of miles because of the terrain, poisonous miasma and other reasons.

Perhaps the predecessors felt that the detour was too difficult, so they thought of pulling huge chains on the edges of the cliffs on both sides, with a total of eighteen chains.

Each one is about ten feet apart.

Coming out of the main gate of the Tiexuetang stronghold, right in front of you are these eighteen cableways.

Chu Qing and Wenrou followed the strange and poisonous smell, but they were still far away from the cableway. When they arrived at the edge of the canyon and looked down, they could see the miasma swirling in the canyon.

These miasmas are extremely poisonous. Once, someone was chasing wild beasts for hunting, and the beasts ran into the miasma and immediately let out howls in pain.

They ran out desperately... When they came out, half of their bodies were already covered with white bones. So no one was willing to easily enter this miasma.

Wenrou pointed to a place and said:
“That man went down from here.”

Chu Qing took a closer look and indeed saw signs of someone passing by here.

He jumped down first, and after walking down the rock wall for a while, he saw a huge gap in the mountain wall, which was big enough for one person to pass through.

Chu Qing watched in amazement, stretched out his hand to the mountain wall, steadied his body, and with a push of his palm, flew to the edge of the cliff again.

Pull over tenderness:

"Be careful and follow me."

According to Chu Qing's thoughts, he didn't want to take Wen Rou and himself into danger.

But Chu Qing was worried about leaving Wenrou alone at the edge of the canyon.

There are risks both ways, so it’s better for her to stay by my side so that I can protect her if there are any problems.

As for Chu Qing, he flew down the canyon. Whether there were one person or two people did not affect his performance of lightness skills. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the crack again.

Chu Qing stepped into it first, and then let Wenrou step into the crack.

Then Chu Qing asked:

“Is the smell right here?”

"Correct."

Gentle nodded.

"Then follow me and take the detoxification pill first."

"it is good."

Wenrou always obeyed Chu Qing's orders, and without any hesitation, she swallowed the detoxification pill directly.

Chu Qing also took out one and hid it under his tongue.

The crevice in the mountain is not very wide at first, but once you get in, the view in front of you suddenly opens up.

What comes into view is a hollow cave.

There was a gap above my head, which cast the light down and landed on the roof of a thatched hut.

The gentle light from the sky illuminated the thatched hut, but it also allowed Chu Qing and Wen Rou to clearly see the floating dust dancing in the light.

There was a sound coming from the thatched hut.

I can hear some grinding noises...

Chu Qing and Wenrou looked at each other, slowly walked to the thatched hut, and leaned over to the window to look inside.

The thatched house was not big and they could see the whole thing at a glance.

Next to the candlelight, a man in black was seen grinding some powder.

He looked a little strange... sometimes angry, sometimes happy, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes laughing.

He was completely different from the day I saw him at Qimei Villa.

The evilness at that time was extremely quiet.

Now he seems like a madman...

Chu Qing did not beat the madman to death immediately, but watched him quietly from the window with Wen Rou.

Watch him put the ground things into some pots and jars.

Then he took out another one and started making it.

The poison he wanted to prepare should be extraordinary. Although Chu Qing was not familiar with medical knowledge, he knew that there were several poisonous plants and flowers that were deadly.

After struggling for nearly half an hour, Gui Du finally finished preparing the poison.

Carefully put the powder into the bottle.

He held the bottle, looked at it quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly grinned again:
"Well, in this case, I wonder how you can survive!
"I won't lose you this time."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt my hands were empty.

He had just sworn that he would never lose the bottle of Gui Du, but when he looked back in his hand, the bottle was gone.

After being stunned, he became furious:
"who?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he saw the person who made the move, he saw a white hand coming towards him.

How could Guidu be willing to show weakness?

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, which was filled with gusts of cold wind and the palm was purple in color, which looked like it came from nowhere.

However, the man didn't even bother to look at him. He just turned his claws, raised his elbow, and directly opened his palm. Then he stretched out his arm and grabbed Guidu's shoulder.

There was a crackling sound and all the bones in the shoulder were broken by this claw.

But this is not the end yet... Then a white palm swiped downwards, and with such powerful force of fingers and claws, all the bones were broken wherever his five fingers passed.

Finally, he pinched the pulse point on his wrist and bent it lightly. In an instant, he could no longer use his poisonous and strange abilities.

His body was involuntarily turned around, with his back facing Chu Qing.

"who are you?"

When Gui Du said this, he felt not only despair but also humiliation.

And all these actions were so fast that he, the disciple of the dignified Demon Lord Bai Hai, was defeated before he could even see the opponent's face clearly.

I don't even know who defeated me.

If this gets out, it will be a huge joke.

Chu Qing did not answer his question, but asked:

"What are these things you made?"

This sentence gave Gui Du a wrong signal:

"Isn't he here to kill me?

"That's right, the only people who can find this place are those from the Niejingtai.

“This person’s martial arts skills are so high that I’m afraid he’ll be on the evil-killing list.

"Is he the expert on the Demon Slayer Ranking that the contact mentioned?"

He immediately said:

“Senior, please wait. I have no intention of offending you. I am just borrowing your precious land to prepare some medicine.

"You and I are both from the Niejingtai. I hope that the senior will forgive me this time."

Chu Qing was confused after hearing this. How could they be seniors and juniors?

“That’s not the right answer.”

Although Chu Qing was confused, his men showed no mercy at all.

The five-finger claws changed their position and directly grasped Guidu's throat, lifting him up.

The fear of suffocation and death made Gui Du's face change drastically:
"Senior...Senior...please don't, please...kill me...I really...know...I'm wrong!"

But when he said this, he finally saw Chu Qing's face.

In an instant, his expression changed drastically:
"You... it's you!! How did you know to find this place!?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"The mountain man has a clever plan!"

In fact, mountain people are gentle...

But it is really hard to say this to a dying killer from the Niejingtai.

When I applied force with my five fingers, I heard a clicking sound.

This person's neck had been directly broken by Chu Qing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this person died, his flesh and blood suddenly expanded and moved.

Chu Qing's face darkened, and without any hesitation, he threw him out of the hut.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud explosion, and the poisonous corpse shattered.

Balls of green mist spread in all directions in an instant.
