"Hehe, you dare to cheat me, do you think I don't have any countermeasures?"
Fang Xing sneered. His eyes flashed and his expression relaxed, as if he did not put Hou Qing in his eyes at all. He sneered, "Don't try to be ruthless towards me. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, you won't dare to touch me even if I give you ten guts. Otherwise, you won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow! Hmph, do you still think your identity is hidden well? I've already seen through you and even left a letter behind … … "
Cold sweat seeped out of Hou Qing's forehead. With a thought, the silver light closed in on Fang Xing again. The cold light was breathtaking.
It was a silver sword engraved with runes. It looked exceptionally agile.
"I'm asking you how you know my identity … …"
Hou Qing's murderous intent was overflowing. The sudden panic of having his identity exposed almost made him want to kill.
However, Fang Xing's appearance as if he was certain of being able to defeat him caused him to be slightly flustered. He thought that Fang Xing had set up a contingency plan and was rather fearful.
Fang Xing was forced into a bit of a hurry. Shouting out Hou Qing's identity was something he had no choice but to do in order to make Hou Qing stay. But at this moment, he had to think of a reason to convince him, otherwise Hou Qing might really dare to kill him.
His brain was spinning rapidly. Suddenly, he blurted out, "You idiot, why don't you think about it. How many people in the outer sect need the Stone Essence Powder so urgently?"
Hou Qing was stunned. His legs swayed and he was a little embarrassed.
That's right, he thought he had nothing to worry about. He never thought that there would be such a method to expose his identity.
Among the outer sect disciples, other than those who had just entered the Dao Gate half a year ago, there were only a few who were promoted from the Dao Children or the previous batch of disciples. Although they did not break through to the fourth stage of spirit formation, they still had some connections and continued to cultivate in the Dao Gate. As for the disciples who had just entered the Dao Gate half a year ago, no matter how high their cultivation was, there weren't many who needed the Rank Breaking Dan … …
In fact, Hou Qing knew in his heart that he was the only one with such a cultivation among the thousand or so disciples.
The reason was that before he entered the Dao Sect, he already had the cultivation of spirit formation second layer. After entering the sect, he received the help of an old friend and consumed a large amount of elixirs. Only then was he able to quickly advance to the peak of spirit formation third layer.
There were indeed many people who knew about his cultivation. After all, when he had gone to Vermilion Cloud Valley to look for Junior Sister Xu, he had once fought against the people who provoked him. He had even defeated them with a single stroke of his sword.
Of course, he was naturally quite pleased with himself. Now that he thought about it, this was indeed an incident that could easily expose him …
"That's not right. Even if that's the case, you could only guess that it was me. How could you be so sure that you could shout out my name?"
Hou Qing suddenly realized this, and the silver sword pressed forward again.
He was not a young master of an aristocratic family who had not seen the world. He was very experienced in the martial world.
However, after thinking it through, Fang Xing's thoughts flowed like a spring. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and sneered: "There are indeed more than a dozen people that I suspect. However, who am I? I've been hanging around in the outer sect since I was young. Among these dozen people, I know at least half of them. Your voice is different from theirs, so naturally, I can eliminate it. Furthermore, when others enter the Ghost City, they all wear a black cloth to cover their faces. Only you, this fellow, wear a white cloth. Your clothes are as clean as if they've just been washed and dried. This means that you either like the color white, or you're a germaphobe. After asking around like this, the scope has been narrowed down a little. In addition, there's a strong musk smell on your body … "
Fang Xing seemed to be unable to bear it. He waved his hand in front of his nose and disgustedly said: "It's hard not to find you!"
Hou Qing's body shook. He raised his hand and sniffed his sleeves. He awkwardly shook his body and took half a step back.
Fang Xing struck while the iron was hot: "Humph, after I went back that day, I found someone to secretly inquire about you. With so many clues, it would be too outrageous if I still couldn't find you. In fact, I've already observed you closely. Based on the small mole at the corner of your eyebrows, I've determined who you are. It was only for the sake of a safe transaction, and I didn't want to expose you, but I didn't expect that you would dare to deceive me!"
Hou Qing's heart was a little flustered, and at the same time, he felt a chill on his back.
He originally thought that Fang Xing was an ignorant and incompetent Taoist second generation ancestor, and he looked down on him. However, he didn't expect that the other party would have such a clever plan. When he thought that he had secretly observed himself, but he didn't notice anything, he felt a chill in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Fang Xing to see if he was someone he had met in the past nine days …
Fang Xing saw that Hou Qing's expression was complicated, and he didn't put away the flying sword in the air. He knew that Hou Qing still had doubts in his heart, so he needed to add fuel to the fire.
He suddenly took off his black cloth and coldly said, "I just want to properly complete this transaction, and I don't want any more trouble. Now I'll let you see my true face, so hand over the Demon Spirit Pill. From today onwards, we don't know each other, and you don't have to worry about me lying to you. If you're really afraid of me taking revenge, just the fact that you've seen my true face is enough for you to threaten me …"
"You …"
When Hou Qing saw that Fang Xing had revealed his true face, he was even more shocked and couldn't help but take another step back.
"Sou …"
Suddenly, a golden light flashed beside Fang Xing, and a Flying Sword that was flickering with golden light flew up, and around the sword, nine small snakes were dancing.
The might of this sword was several times stronger than his small silver sword, and it exuded a piercingly cold aura.
Hou Qing was shocked. He calmed his mind and coldly said, "Do you want to fight me?"
Fang Xing sneered and said, "I just want to make a good deal. At the same time, let me tell you, although your cultivation level is higher than mine, I don't lack good magic treasures. If we really fight, you won't be able to win …"
Hou Qing looked at the Nine Snake Golden Flame Sword in the air and slowly nodded his head.
In his view, this golden sword was indeed very troublesome. If they really fought, even if he wasn't afraid, he would still be injured.
He felt a strong threat from this sword.
This group of Dao Sect's second generation always had a lot of good magic treasures. It was indeed a headache.
"Okay, since Senior Brother only wants to complete the transaction, then I'll apologize to you here …"
Hou Qing slowly put away the silver sword and slowly bowed toward Fang Xing. He didn't let down his guard while bowing.
Fang Xing impatiently waved his hand and said, "Stop messing around. Give me the Demon Spirit Pill!"
Hou Qing smiled awkwardly. He reached into his robes and took out a small porcelain bottle, tossing it to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing caught it and opened the cork. After confirming that it was real, he pretended to smell it and then resealed it. He sneered at Hou Qing and said, "It was a simple transaction, but you made it so complicated. Junior Brother, don't think so much in the future. You will only bring trouble to yourself! Hmph, let's go. It's best if we don't meet again … "
With that, he sneered and turned around. He still didn't put away the Nine Snake Golden Flame Sword.
"Once again, I apologize to Senior Brother …"
Hou Qing politely bowed. He also didn't want to provoke a Dao Sect's second generation for no reason.
In fact, he was already regretting it. He was worried that the other party would use the Dao Sect's power to suppress him.
But with a second thought, he remembered the other party's appearance. At most, he would reveal the truth and no one would be able to take advantage of it.
Moreover, he had some connections in the Blue Cloud Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter the Dao Sect with only a cultivation of spirit formation second layer.
With that thought, he put away the flying sword and quickly walked down the mountain.
As he walked, the mountain wind blew and the cold sweat on his body disappeared. However, his brows were still tightly locked, "Who is that person? I don't think I've seen him before. But just in case, I'll have to ask Junior Sister Xu to help me inquire about this person. Hmm, this person's specialty is that he likes to call himself 'Laozi'. He's tall and skinny, and he uses a golden flying sword … "
"Wait, the golden flying sword has nine little snakes coiling around it …"
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere …"
Hou Qing slowly stopped his footsteps. After a long time, he suddenly remembered that someone once told him that a great thief came to the Ghost City and stole a Nine Snake Golden Flame Sword. It was very extraordinary … This made Hou Qing's heart suddenly jump. As if he thought of something, he immediately took out the Stone Essence Powder to check. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. When he found that there was a faint stain on his hand …
The Stone Essence Powder was a bit moist because it was stained with his sweat. However, it was too strange for it to lose its color …
How could a Dao Sect's second generation sneak into the Ghost City to become a great thief?
Similarly, how could a great thief turn into a Dao Sect's second generation?
"I'm going to kill you!"
Understanding one acupoint, understanding a hundred acupoints. Many doubts surfaced clearly in Hou Qing's mind.
He was so angry that he was about to go crazy. The veins on his neck were exposed. His angry roar could be heard three to four miles away.
After that roar, he immediately turned his head and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain. Then, he madly chased after Fang Xing along the road up the mountain.
However, at this time, Fang Xing had already taken a detour to go down the mountain. Moreover, he was walking very fast. How could he catch up?
All of this could be said to be Hou Qing's own doing. If he hadn't wanted to cheat Fang Xing and get distracted while examining the Stone Essence Powder, he wouldn't have been unable to find the flaw in the Stone Essence Powder. Unfortunately, at that time, most of his thoughts were on how to cheat Fang Xing and he didn't have the heart to examine it. It was really like trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it …
