Chapter 229 Unpacking

The Shen family's money was finally deposited into the Liehuotang's warehouse, and Chu Qing did not intend to ask how it was used.

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Chu Qing left the City Lord's Mansion.

He did not go to meet Li Hanguang...time was a bit tight, so the task of handing over to Li Hanguang was handed over to Qi Zhenhai.

Chu Qing went straight back to the inn and knocked on Wenrou's door.

When Wenrou came out, she still had a tired look on her face. No matter who is woken up in the middle of a sleep, they would probably look like this.

But she quickly cheered up:
"what happened?"

Chu Qing wouldn't wake her up in the middle of the night for no reason.

"Pack up and follow me to a place."

Chu Qing said this and went to knock on Wu Chan's door again.

Wenrou went back to pack her things without saying anything. About a cup of tea later, the three of them left the inn.

Without stopping, they rushed directly to the place where the previous battle ended.

Niu Kui was still waiting here. Chu Qing had previously instructed him to disperse the surrounding gangsters and not to touch anything here. He would return tonight.

When Chu Qing and the other two arrived here, Niu Kui and the others were scattered around, looking quite exhausted.

But perhaps they hoped to perform well in front of the young master, so even though they were so sleepy that they were bending over, they still forced themselves to be energetic and cheer themselves up.

Chu Qing noticed that several people secretly pinched their thighs to refresh themselves.

When Niu Kui noticed Chu Qing and others coming, he quickly cheered up:
"Son!"

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"Brothers, you have worked hard. Now that we have finished our work here, you can go back first."

Niu Kui didn't dare to say more. After hearing this, he quickly agreed and withdrew with the disciples of Liehuo Hall.

They wanted to show their face in front of Chu Qing and perform well. Now that Chu Qing's attitude was kind, their goal was achieved.

If I can leave a good impression on Chu Qing tonight, any words I say to him in the future will benefit him greatly.

Chu Qing ignored Niu Kui's thoughts and just asked Wen Rou:
"Can we still capture Feng Xiaoyu?"

Gentle frown:

"Weird...how did she do that?"

"Ok?"

Chu Qing was a little confused.

Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing and whispered:

“I can smell the inner strength, and few people can resist this kind of situation.

"You said Feng Xiaoyu was here, but I didn't smell her...her scent was very bland.

“There’s only an extremely strong smell of blood here.

“This is clearly not the smell of Feng Xiaoyu… The smell of Feng Xiaoyu is not here either.

"But you are so sure about what you said, it is obvious that this bloody smell was brought by Feng Xiaoyu.

"So how does she hide the smell?"

Chu Qing understood Wenrou's doubts.

Her natural scent is almost invincible and she rarely fails.

If she had smelled the scent of Feng Xiaoyu's inner strength during the day, or if she had smelled it when she first met "Liu Sanniang" at the Niejingtai branch, Feng Xiaoyu could not have deceived them at all.

This, in turn, illustrates two things.

The first thing is that the Blood Prince is very capable, and her changes are from the inside out.

Even Wenrou could hardly detect that the Blood Prince was under such a heavy disguise...

The second thing... is that the gentle natural scent is not invincible.

Some people can hide from a gentle nose.

This thing that is almost metaphysical has been avoided by only two people so far.

The first one is You Zong, the world’s best thief who possesses all the nine stars in the sky.

As a master thief, this person's method of hiding is naturally a hundred times better than that of others.

Chu Qing and Wen Rou were chasing this person at that time, but they found Sun Xiaoxiang, and when they looked for him again afterwards, there was no trace of You Zong.

Now, this Blood Prince can change his appearance and become a different person both inside and out...even the state of his internal energy can be changed easily.

Even Chu Qing couldn't do this.

"Twelve Holy Kings, some things are reasonable..."

Chu Qing frowned slightly:

"I am only worried that this person is still alive. You can still catch the bloody smell now. Did it dissipate here? Or did it fade away?"

"She's not dead."

Gentle and soft voice said:

“That smell went north.”

This is the answer Chu Qing wanted:
"We chase."

After wasting half the night, Chu Qing didn't actually want this answer.

What he wanted to hear more was that the Blood Prince died and disappeared into thin air.

But now that this is the answer, I can only give it a try and see if there is any chance to catch up with the Blood Prince.

Chu Qing had previously told those wandering people in the martial arts world that the one who died in his hands tonight was the Blood Prince.

This is to prevent the Blood Prince from faking his death.

Once this rumor spreads, Prince Blood will definitely think that Chu Qing really believes that she is dead.

As a result, when she was seriously injured, she did not dare to rashly draw blood to heal herself.

Otherwise, his whereabouts would be exposed, allowing Chu Qing to realize that this person is not dead.

Chu Qing can use Wenrou to track down this person as much as possible, and try to find her and kill her before her injuries heal.

This was a backup plan Chu Qing had left to prevent any unexpected events.

At this moment, perhaps it could be of some use... I just don't know how far the seriously injured Blood Prince can run in such a short time relying on his blood and the [Blood Demon Sutra]?
Having lost both legs, is it possible for her to escape from the pursuit of Chu Qing and others?

Time waits for no one. Chu Qing grabbed Wenrou in one hand and Wuchan in the other, and used his Qinggong skills to chase in the direction pointed by Wenrou.

But this time the pursuit was not smooth.

According to common sense, the smell remains in the air for three days.

It might be that the Blood Prince was traveling by means of blood shadow illusion, and his speed was so fast that the smell left in the air was so thin that it was outrageous.

Gentleness requires a great deal of effort to be able to capture that faint trace.

If you are not careful, you will go astray and have to go back to the last point where the taste still remains and start looking again.

But even so, after a night, the three men chased north for more than a hundred miles... but still could not find any trace of the Bloody Prince.

There wasn't even a trace of blood on the ground.

Seeing that Wenrou was a little tired, Chu Qing put her and Wuchan down and suggested that they take a short rest.

There was a bit of stubbornness in Wenrou's clear eyes, and she didn't want to rest...

But he couldn't beat Chu Qing:

“The Blood Prince is very powerful, and since she is not dead, she must have a thousand ways to escape.

“Now we just have to do our best and leave the rest to fate.

"If I really can't catch up, then that's all I can do..." Wenrou nodded gently, preparing to sit down to rest and eat something.

Chu Qing found a secluded place and sat down slowly.

After a night of hard work, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, but he still had two boxes to open.

One is the task [Not on the List]. Previously, Chu Qing only opened the martial arts treasure chest and obtained the Nine Yang Magic Skill.

There is also a clue treasure chest that has never been opened.

The other box is the random martial arts treasure box obtained after killing Shen Juke.

But I don’t know what to get out of it…

Recently, Chu Qing has not been looking forward to the martial arts that can be found in these boxes.

But in reality, even if the treasure chest is in an optional state, the martial arts that come out are not all satisfactory.

Even though the rewards given by my system have a rough classification, they are too random...

He rubbed his brows gently and opened the treasure chest containing the clue first.

[There is an unopened clue treasure chest. Do you want to open it? ]

"Turn on."

[Opened successfully, got the clue: Taiheng Gate! ]

"??"

Chu Qing was stunned. How could it be Tai Heng Sect?
Taihengmen is indeed the only way for him to go, after all, he still has Ling Beichen's ashes on him.

But the Tai Heng Sect, one of the five sects, has stood tall in the martial arts world for many years without any wavering. How could the Nie Jingtai have nothing better to do than to go to the Tai Heng Sect and do evil things?

What is this for?
Chu Qing was puzzled for a moment, but now it seems that Tai Hengmen really needs to go there quickly.

However, within the territory of Liehuotang, in addition to pursuing the Blood Prince, he also had to go to Guang'an City and, in the identity of the Night Emperor, go to Beitang Zun to ask for money.

I’m afraid that Beitang Zun has not returned to the headquarters of Liehuotang yet... He still has to stay in the territory of Liehuotang for a while.

I was thinking about how to split myself into two places to create the illusion that they were not in the same place, but I found it difficult no matter how I thought about it.

Although his Qinggong skills were powerful, if he focused on Taihengmen first, it would take too long to travel back and forth between Taihengmen and the headquarters of Liehuotang.

The best case scenario for this round trip is to make the whole trip overnight.

Everyone saw the Third Young Master go back to his room to rest. He could come out of the room the next day, but no one knew that he traveled thousands of miles back and forth between two places that night.

This is the only way to hide it from the eyes of others.

Thinking of this, he breathed out lightly:

"At worst, we can just calculate the distance and make the arduous trip. Beitang Zun had better return to the Liehuotang headquarters as soon as possible, otherwise, this matter will be difficult to complete."

As he was thinking this, a prompt popped up on the system.

[There is one unopened martial arts treasure chest. Do you want to open it immediately? ]

"Turn on."

Chu Qing didn't have much expectation in his heart, after all, he didn't even wash his hands this time.

Although opening the box and washing hands is a bit too superstitious, it is better than doing nothing...

[Open successfully, obtain Qinggong: Lightning Step]

The system's feedback is incredibly fast, and in this respect, it doesn't feel like a copycat system at all.

Chu Qing's eyes suddenly widened. What is this called?
This is called a soft pillow when you are sleepy!
Where in the world can such a coincidence happen?

I was just wondering how I could travel a thousand miles back in one night, and then the Lightning Step came along! ?
A stinging sensation like electric shock instantly spread throughout the body.

The waist on both sides is the most intense, followed by the ankles.

The next weakest parts are the legs and back, and the weakest parts are the shoulders and arms...

The Lightning Step may seem like a light Kung Fu, but in fact it requires strength from all over the body, and is far from being as simple as it seems.

What followed was a series of mantras and methods of circulating internal energy that invaded his mind.

Chu Qing closed his eyes silently, taking it all in. However, after a moment, when he opened his eyes again, there was a hint of electricity in his eyes.

But it disappeared in an instant.

This flash of electricity was generated by the practice of the Lightning Step, not a new internal skill.

But even so, Chu Qing was satisfied enough.

“It seems that you don’t have to wash your hands before you can get good things.

"Last time I didn't wash my hands, didn't I perform the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

Chu Qing thought of this, and stood up, eager to try out the power of the Lightning Step.

But after hesitating for a while, he stopped again.

Wu Chan is a good monk, but not to the extent that Chu Qing can reveal his secrets without restraint.

If Wenrou was the only one around him, he would have nothing to worry about...

Thinking of this, Chu Qing said:
"How was your rest?"

Wu Chan naturally didn't care, as Chu Qing took him away all night.

Gentleness stood up:
"We have to hurry..."

Although she is the eldest daughter of Luochen Villa, she has been well protected by Cui Bunu since she was a child.

But it’s not that he is unaware of the sufferings of the world.

The Blood Prince was seriously injured, and Chu Qing's words could certainly deceive her for a while, making her temporarily afraid to draw blood from a large area to heal herself.

But there is no way I can just sit there and wait for death...

Every moment we stay now could mean that an ordinary person could fall victim to the murder.

Chu Qing's moral standards were not high enough to help someone even though he knew the other person was not a good person.

But he has not stooped to the point of turning a blind eye when he knows that someone will be harmed by treacherous villains.

He hurried along the way because he was worried that something like this might happen.

Seeing that Wenrou was ready, he continued to stay with Wenrou and Wuchan on their journey.

But it seemed to be becoming increasingly difficult for Wenrou to find the scent of the Blood Prince.

The smell that lingers in the air dissipates faster than you can imagine.

Finally, after chasing for a long time, a rare look of dejection appeared on Wenrou's face.

"...I, I can't find her."

Chu Qing's eyes turned around and he nodded gently:

"It doesn't matter. After all, they are the Twelve Holy Kings..."

The people of the Tianxie Cult have always been omnipotent. Otherwise, they would not have been able to harm the martial arts world for so long and still leave people helpless against them.

Wuchan looked around and suddenly pointed:
"Are we near Guang'an City?"

"Ok?"

Chu Qing was stunned:
"Guang'an City...that's not you..."

Wuchan had said before that he was coming to Guang'an City to find someone.

Chu Qing was heading north and happened to pass by this place, but he didn't expect that he would end up here while chasing the Blood Prince.

His mind moved slightly:
"If that's the case, it's a good opportunity to go to Guang'an City."

Wu Chan wanted to go find someone, and Chu Qing could also find someone from Liehuotang to arrange some things.

But when his eyes passed over Wenrou's gentle face, his expression suddenly changed:
"What's wrong with you?"
