If there was really something wrong with Toad Market and it was related to the dark cultivators, then the only way to prove it was through Taoist Toad. Perhaps, he was a decoy used by the dark cultivators to confuse the Supreme Saint Council and other major forces.
Thinking of this, Ning Qi strolled around Toad Market a few more times, then headed towards Taoist Toad's dwelling.
"He's here. There's something wrong with this kid."
Taoist Toad had been paying attention to Ning Qi's movements. Seeing Ning Qi walking towards him, his face turned serious.
Soon, one of his men hurried to Taoist Toad and said in a low voice, "Master, that Immortal Palace cultivator wants to see you."
"Invite him in, then you and the others can leave."
Taoist Toad's eyes flickered and said.
"Yes."
Soon, Ning Qi walked to Taoist Toad with a smile. The cultivator who brought him here immediately left.
"What can I do for you, Young Master Jiang?"
Taoist Toad smiled.
"I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask."
Ning Qi smiled.
Taoist Toad's eyes turned serious, then he smiled, "Young Master Jiang, please ask. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."
"I followed the route left by an old senior and found this place. That old senior once told me that this is the gathering place of the dark cultivators. What do you think about this, Taoist Toad?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"The gathering place of the dark cultivators?" Taoist Toad was shocked, then he smiled fawningly, "Young Master Jiang, you don't have to say that. If this news gets out, I will have to receive Boundless Jiang cultivators every day. Just a few days ago, a few Boundless Jiang cultivators passed by this small place.
"Let's not beat around the bush.
"A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. I'm here to advance to the Karma Realm without the Holy Assembly's approval."
Ning Qi said plainly. "What? Without the Supreme Saint Council's permission? Doesn't that make you a dark cultivator, and everyone will kill you? Young Master Jiang, you can't do that. If the Supreme Saint Council finds out, they will send Boundless Jiang cultivators every day to hunt you down.
You will have nowhere to hide! "
Taoist Toad was shocked at first, then he quickly persuaded Ning Qi.
His expression and tone seemed to be flawless. Unfortunately, what Ning Qi had decided on had to be true even if it wasn't!
"Since you don't want to tell me, I'll just have to kill you."
Ning Qi's lips curled up.
Daoist Toad was stunned. "Young Master Jiang, you have to be reasonable. This is just a small market square. It has nothing to do with dark cultivators."
"Today, I will not rest until I achieve my goal. As for the truth, after you die, I will burn a stick of incense in front of your grave as an apology."
Ning Qi smiled.
"I …"
The Taoist Toad was speechless.
Burn a stick of incense to express my apology? By that time, the corpses would have already turned cold!
In the next moment, a terrifying aura surged from Ning Qi's body and locked onto Toad Enlightened. Toad Enlightened's cultivation in the later stage of the Dao Querying Realm was as insignificant as an ant before this aura.
"Young Master Jiang, let's talk this out!"
Daoist Toad exclaimed. Ning Qi ignored him. His palm slowly fell on Daoist Toad's head. Just as he was about to kill him, Daoist Toad's aura suddenly changed. The fear on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Ning Qi expressionlessly.
Then, his head suddenly turned into a toad head. Its bloody mouth opened wide and its chin dropped to the ground, turning into a dark hole. Daoist Toad's eyes became unfocused, as if he had lost his mind. He stared at Ning Qi blankly.
A gust of aura came from Daoist Toad's bloody mouth.
Karma State!
"You're just a cultivator from the Immortal Palace. How dare you come here? Tell me who told you that Toad Market is related to dark cultivators, and I will spare your life." As he spoke, a figure slowly walked out from Daoist Toad's mouth. It was a woman in purple, with a beauty mark between her eyebrows. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, which made her look neat and tidy. Most importantly, her aura had reached the middle stage of the Karma State.
His aura had reached the middle stage of the Causality Realm, perhaps even the late stage of the Causality Realm.
"Senior, are you a dark cultivator?"
Ning Qi's eyes flickered.
He had already sensed that an array had been set up around the house. The other party was not worried that he would escape from this place.
"You're still so calm even when you're at death's door. Tell me, who told you that this place is related to dark cultivators? If you don't tell me, I will make your life a living hell."
The woman in purple said coldly. "That senior is already dead. I found this place through the clues he left behind. He said that there was an item in this settlement that could help people bypass the Supreme Saint Assembly to advance. Coincidentally, I came to the Shenluo World illegally. Some time ago, I came to the Shenluo World secretly.
I just escaped from the Slums' Region, so I wanted to use this item to advance my karma. "
Ning Qi went straight to the point. "If senior doesn't believe me, feel free to check it."
He believed that there should be a similar verification method among the dark cultivators to verify a person's identity. Otherwise, how could they live together? Just their mutual suspicion could lead to a civil war!
"Could this person really be a dark cultivator?" The woman in purple frowned. After thinking for a moment, she took out a fruit and threw it to Ning Qi. "If you have any traces left behind by the Supreme Saint Council, you will die from the poison after eating this fruit. On the other hand, if you eat an ordinary fruit, you will die.
Do you dare to eat it? "
Ning Qi glanced at the fruit in his hand and lightly pinched it, crushing it into pieces. He shook his head and said, "Senior, please show me your true method of verification. If I eat this fruit, won't I be at your mercy?" With the help of the system, even if Ning Qi couldn't recognize the origin of this fruit, the system would be able to. Furthermore, there was detailed information about it. The Enchantment Fruit was a Mysterious Yin level fruit like the Purifying Spirit Flower. After eating it, the connection between the physical body and the Primordial Spirit would be severed.
At the same time, his connection with the Immortal Palace would be severed, and he would become a puppet.
"I didn't expect you to recognize the Enchanting Fruit."
The woman in purple sneered, but a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. Obviously, she felt it was a pity that the Enchanted Fruit had been crushed by Ning Qi.
"No matter how stupid I am, how would I dare to come here with a mere cultivation base of the Immortal Palace to seek death? Senior should be clear about this. "
Ning Qi smiled.
"If you weren't clear about this, you would already be dead. How would you still have the life to stand in front of me and boast shamelessly? Come with me. "
The woman in purple snorted coldly. She turned around and walked into the passage created by Taoist Toad's bloody mouth.
Ning Qi smiled and followed her in.
