Chapter 373 Poison

A person who knows the whereabouts of the Southern Region Headquarters of Nie Jing Tai is indeed worthy of being hunted down by Nie Jing Tai.

And for Nie Jingtai, this person must die no matter what!
Chu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but there were ripples in her heart:
"I see, it seems like you are really hopeless.

"In order to protect the headquarters, they will definitely do everything they can to kill you."

"..."

Wenren Qianluo was speechless for a moment. Although this was the fact, it was still a bit too much to say it so bluntly.

She let out a breath:

“What you want to know, you already know.

"Can you give me my sword back?"

Chu Qing took another look at the Hidden Dragon Sword in his hand, sheathed it, raised his hand, and threw the sword to Wenren Qianluo.

Wenren Qianluo held the sword in his hand and let out a long breath.

Then Chu Qing said:
"A dead man is useless even if he holds the best sword."

"..."

Wenren Qianluo raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"Am I wrong? You may be safe tonight, but what about tomorrow?
"Once we separate, with your seriously injured body now, how many times can you withstand the pursuit of the Evil Mirror Platform?

"We all have to die sooner or later..."

Wenren Qianluo looked at Chu Qing in silence for a while before saying:

"If I tell you where the South Territory Headquarters is, what will you do?"

"Kill them all."

Chu Qing answered without any hesitation.

Wen Renqian was stunned for a moment, then he pondered for a moment and asked:

"If...if I asked you to protect me, what would you do?"

"Then we'll see what price the girl can pay."

Chu Qing smiled slightly and sat back down.

At this time, there were corpses everywhere around, and Suning actually dragged these corpses away one by one.

Chu Qing grabbed the cooked food that had been warmed up beside the campfire, tore off half a chicken, and threw it to Wenren Qianluo.

Wenren Qianluo hurriedly caught it, and gasped repeatedly because of the heat. After finally holding it steady, he frowned and said:

"what do you want?"

"What I want is not the point. The point is, what can the girl give?"

Chu Qing broke off a chicken leg and handed it to Wu Qianhuan.

Wenren Qianluo saw this scene, looked at himself again, and smiled bitterly:
“I have nothing but the Hidden Dragon Sword and myself.

"But I don't know, which of these two can be exchanged for you to protect my life?"

"both are not."

Chu Qing's answer was straightforward.

"..."

Wenren Qianluo seriously suspected that Chu Qing was playing a trick on him.

She didn't want the man or the sword, she had nothing left.

He simply pursed his lips and stopped talking.

But Chu Qing smiled and asked:

"Do you have any money?"

"……Have."

Wenren Qianluo nodded:

"But it's less than ten taels."

Less than ten taels of silver was enough for travel expenses, but it was obviously not enough to hire a great master like Chu Qing.

Chu Qing said:
"Well, I think you are quite sincere.

"How about we make a pact?
“Three thousand taels of silver and the location of the Southern Territory headquarters in exchange for my protection along the way.

"You don't have to give me the three thousand taels of silver right away. You can pay me back gradually over the next three years.

“But we have made an agreement in advance, and we cannot renege on our debt.

"Otherwise... no matter where I go, I will definitely get your life back."

Wenren Qianluo suddenly looked at Chu Qing, nodded without thinking and said:

"it is good!"

"Empty words."

Chu Qing said, glancing at Wen Rou.

Wenrou took out a small notebook and a brush from her arms.

Just as he was about to hand it to Chu Qing, he heard Chu Qing say:
"Please write for me."

Wenrou thought of Chu Qing's handwriting and nodded, thinking that he was probably afraid that people would laugh at his ugly handwriting.

He immediately opened the notebook and wrote down the transaction between the two people in the blank space.

Finally, he tore off the page and handed it to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing threw it in front of Wenren Qianluo with a flick of his hand:
"Sign and pledge."

Wenren Qianluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still bit his finger and pressed a handprint.

As the handprint fell, a prompt popped up in front of Chu Qing.

[Triggering commission: No one on the list! ]

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, somewhat unexpectedly.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, I heard Ren Qianluo say:
"The Southern Region Headquarters is quite far away from here, within the Xuanji Sect's sphere of influence...

"I even suspect that there is a close connection between Xuanji Sect and Niejingtai."

Xuanjimen is one of the three prefectures, three gates and three sects. It is also the only sect among the nine major forces in Lingbei that excels in mechanical engineering.

Chu Qing's expression remained unchanged:

"how do I say this?"

"I broke into the headquarters of the Niejingtai after conducting extensive investigations.

“It’s just that before that, I didn’t know where that place was… until I alerted the experts there, and then I learned from them that it was actually the Southern Region Headquarters.

“Although I escaped from the siege at that time, there were always pursuers behind me.

“That’s fine… The key point is that the people chasing me are not only the masters of the Niejingtai, but also the people of the Xuanjimen.

"They track people with wooden kites, making it almost impossible to escape.

"It was not until I left Xuanji Sect's sphere of influence that the people who were chasing me were left with only the Nie Jingtai."

Wenren Qianluo said this simply, but in reality the whole process of being hunted down was far from as easy as she said.

Her entire family was wiped out when she was young, so from that time on, she knew what kind of people she would have to deal with after she became a disciple.

She had worked hard both in tracking and being tracked.

This is also the key to her being able to escape from the clutches of the Evil Mirror and escape to the present.

But even so, he escaped death several times.

Until recently, for some reason, Nie Jingtai seemed to relax a little towards her...

But today, a Sun Youxian suddenly came.

This person ambushed her on the path she had to take using the art of wandering. He first broke her legs, greatly reducing her swordsmanship, and then attacked her with a knife. She had no choice but to endure the severe pain and jump onto the tree.

Because he still had some strength of sword left, Sun Youxian didn't dare to confront the trapped beast head-on, so he prepared to kill time.

This gave Chu Qing and others a chance to rescue people.

After Chu Qing heard what Wenren Qianluo said, he just nodded:

"After eating, take a rest. We have to continue on our journey."

"Hmm?" Wenren Qianluo was stunned:
"Where to go?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Chu Qing's answer was particularly inhumane.

Wenren Qianluo closed his eyes and swallowed his breath secretly.

Because what Chu Qing said was right...if she were separated from them now, she would surely die.

Since I have chosen to entrust my life to Chu Qing's protection, I naturally have to do whatever he says.

After taking a few bites of roast chicken and drinking a few sips of water, she leaned against the tree trunk and closed her eyes for a while.

Later she was awakened by Suningzhen.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Suning walking towards her. Without saying a word, he picked her up and placed her on the horse.

Wenren Qianluo realized what was happening and said that she could ride with Su Ningzhen and sit still. There was no need to lie down here...

However, considering the injury on her leg, the proposal was rejected.

Then there was a bumpy ride...

Wenren Qianluo really wanted to ask them where they were going?

Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you traveling so late at night?
However, all the questions she asked were scattered in the wind, and the shaking of the horse's hooves made her internal organs feel uncomfortable. In the end, she wanted to speak but couldn't, so she simply closed her mouth and endured it quietly.

Chu Qing and his group were gone for the entire night.

The next morning, everyone slowly slowed down and there was a small town just ahead.

So I planned to go to the town to buy some food and drinks.

A few people were walking with their horses. When they passed by a bun shop, they saw the steaming big meat buns that had just been made and they all felt hungry.

Chu Qing waved his sleeves and asked for fifty buns.

The store owner was overjoyed and quickly packed them up, but one of them fell out when he delivered it.

The shop owner was apologizing to Chu Qing and offering to replace the bun when the bun on the ground was eaten by a stray dog ​​passing by.

Chu Qing smiled and didn't take it seriously. He took out the silver and was about to pay when he saw the wild dog that had eaten the meat buns turn around twice on the spot. Suddenly, blood flowed out of its mouth and nose, and the whole dog was so stiff that it died on the spot.

This scene was truly shocking, and the shop owner quickly waved his hands, trying to explain, but he was unable to make any case.

Anxious and jumping up and down:

"There's nothing wrong with this bun. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it! If you don't believe me, I'll give you one..."

As he spoke, he opened the paper package and took out a big bun. He took a big bite without caring about the heat.

While eating, he said to Chu Qing:

"Look, isn't this all right?... Isn't this..."

Before he could finish the second sentence, his face turned blue and black.

Then he pinched his own neck and fell stiffly to the ground, already dead.

The woman who was working in the house heard the noise and came out to see what was happening. She was stunned.

"Boss! Boss!!"

She hurriedly came to the shop and was about to reach out to touch it.

Chu Qing said quickly:
"Don't touch him."

The woman didn't listen. Chu Qing frowned slightly, raised his palm slightly, and pushed the woman away.

But she refused to give in and turned over and tried to touch the shop owner again.

At this time, the movement here also attracted the attention of the neighbors. Chu Qing looked around, and Wu Qianhuan put the injured sword sheath against the woman's shoulder:

"Your husband died of inexplicable poisoning. His body may contain a deadly poison. I know you are sad, but please take care of yourself..."

At this point, the woman suddenly raised her head.

With his mouth opened, a puff of white mist blew towards Wu Qianhuan's face.

Wu Qianhuan's reaction was also extremely fast. The moment the woman suddenly raised her head, she was already prepared. With a white mist coming out of her mouth, she exerted her internal strength, and the woman's body was immediately blown away.

Just when the ball of white mist was about to touch Wu Qianhuan's face, Chu Qing rolled up his sleeves and took all the mist into it. Then he flicked his hand and used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to send the mist to the woman's face.

The woman screamed, and the flesh on her face melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the bones were visible.

She was still screaming:
"This is a vicious gangster who is killing people!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar around them.

It's fun to watch, but seeing human lives being lost is another matter.

Some people didn't even think about it and went back to hide in their houses, while others went to the martial artist's location in the town.

Chu Qing and others are now in the Yaotai Sect's sphere of influence. Every town and city is presided over by Yaotai Sect disciples.

Su Ningzhen frowned and said to Chu Qing:
"The situation is not good. If we attract the attention of Yaotai Sect at this time, will it alert the enemy?"

"He should be a master of poison in Niejingtai."

Wenren Qianluo also spoke up:
"With such treacherous and cruel methods, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary character.

"There are too many people here, it's not suitable to fight with them... How about we leave here first?"

Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou did not say anything, just waiting for Chu Qing to make a decision.

Chu Qing looked at the two people on the ground and the body of a dog.

The woman was already dead, and before she died she had framed them.

The people around did not see the mystery. They only saw the woman die tragically, but did not see her attack Wu Qianhuan first.

But this shop owner...he should have died unjustly.

He sighed softly:
"No problem, let him come."

The disciples of Yaotai Sect arrived very quickly, a man and a woman, both with extraordinary temperaments.

The man looked stern, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said coldly to Chu Qing and others:

"Where do you all come from? Do you still respect my Yaotai Sect when you kill people here?
"Are you guys just surrendering and waiting for us to take action?"

Chu Qing glanced at them and shook his head slightly:

"We are not the ones who killed them."

"If it's not you... who else could it be?"

"That's right, we all saw it!"

"Don't let them go..."

Before the two Yaotai Sect disciples could speak, the people around them had already spoken.

The man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Whether it's you or not, we have to ask you to go back with us. After all, human life is at stake..."

"What if I say no?"

There was no ripple in Chu Qing's tone.

The Yaotai Sect disciple snorted coldly:
"If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame us..."

At this point, his face suddenly turned dark blue, and he looked at Chu Qing in pain:

"you you……"

"Brother!"

The woman's face changed drastically. Without thinking, she drew her sword with a clang and stabbed Chu Qing.

But the moment she looked up and met Chu Qing's eyes, the woman felt as if struck by lightning. A huge pressure came over her like a mountain collapsing, making her stand still on the spot, unable to even hold the sword in her hand.

For a moment, I felt extremely shocked.

Knowing that the person in front of her was a top master, she was afraid that she would be in trouble today... Before she could think of a way to deal with it, she saw Chu Qing spread out his five fingers and grabbed from a distance. A child who looked to be six or seven years old broke away from the adult's arms and fell into his hands.

The child struggled hard, and his parents could be heard crying:

"Oh, my son!"

"You, let him go!"

Chu Qing said nothing, just lifted the child up high and threw him hard to the ground.

There was a bang, and the child fell heavily to the ground, even bounced back, with blood spurting out of his mouth.

But at this moment, the bones all over his body began to crackle and grow almost at the touch of wind. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were torn through and he became a man who looked to be in his thirties.
