"Looks like robbing and killing passersby is this guy's main job. But he's also very vigilant. He clearly thinks that I'm not even a martial artist, but he still poisoned me to make me stupid before he made a move. Heavenly Chord Sect's disciple … The little demoness should be here because of this guy."
Under Ning Qi's stupid appearance, he was actually clear-headed.
When he drank the wine just now, he felt a mysterious force trying to affect his mind and turn him into a fool. But when this mysterious force encountered Ning Qi's majestic spiritual energy, it instantly melted like snowflakes under the blazing sun.
The housekeeper listened to Hu Yuan's instructions. Just as he was about to extend his hand to Ning Qi, Ning Qi raised his head and smiled at Hu Yuan. "Uncle Hu, I was a little distracted just now and didn't hear what you said. Can you say it again?"
The housekeeper's hand stopped in mid-air. He didn't know if he should retract it.
The smile on Hu Yuan's face instantly froze. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
In his early years, he had accidentally obtained a type of spiritual fruit. After grinding it into powder, it could be placed in wine. It could steal a person's mind and make them stupid for a short period of time, only obeying his control.
This move had never failed before. Why did it only make Ning Qi stunned for a moment?
"Ning Qi, you … didn't hear what I said just now?"
Hu Yuan said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded his head and poured another cup of wine into his stomach.
Seeing this, the doubt in Hu Yuan's heart immediately dissipated. He vaguely felt that Ning Qi had some secret that made his move ineffective. But he was also more certain that Ning Qi really didn't hear the conversation between him and the housekeeper. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drunk the wine in the cup.
Dispelling the strange feeling in his heart, Hu Yuan stood up and smiled. "Ning Qi, I've collected many rare treasures over the years. Do you want to take a look?"
"Is that so? Uncle Hu, quickly lead the way."
Ning Qi's eyes shone with curiosity. He looked like a hothead who was curious about everything in the Jianghu.
Hu Yuan immediately relaxed, and the strange feeling in his heart also dissipated by eighty to ninety percent. He enthusiastically brought Ning Qi to the place he mentioned. Halfway there, his wife and daughter also came to meet up with the three of them. Not long after, Hu Yuan brought Ning Qi to a flight of stairs.
The staircase extended downwards, and it was pitch black inside, as if it was a bottomless abyss.
Hu Yuan smiled and looked at Ning Qi. "Ning Qi, please."
If Ning Qi didn't go down, he would be able to conclude that Ning Qi had heard the conversation just now and kill him on the spot. However, if Ning Qi really dared to enter the cellar, Hu Yuan wouldn't mind teaching Ning Qi a good lesson. He would let him know how dangerous it was to roam the Jianghu at his age and not a cultivator! "Uncle Hu, I won't stand on ceremony then."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. He walked down the stairs and headed for the cellar. Hu Yuan and the others exchanged glances and smiled as they followed behind Ning Qi.
They didn't notice that the smile on Ning Qi's face had already turned into ice, like the ice and snow in the deep mountains and forests that would never melt.
There were more than a hundred rooms in the cellar, and each room was filled with the stench of blood.
Many of the rooms still had naked figures hanging on the walls. Some of these figures were still alive, breathing weakly. Some of them had been dead for a long time, but because there was ice around the room, their corpses hadn't rotted yet.
Other than that, there were also some rooms with many lifelike wax figures. These wax figures were dressed differently, and there were both men and women. However, within the wax figures, there were real bodies of flesh and blood. These wax figures were made from living people! Hu Yuan nodded with a smile and didn't say anything. He only looked at Ning Qi indifferently, as if he was looking forward to seeing the expression he wanted to see on Ning Qi's face.
The result was disappointing. The bloody scene in the first room of the cellar and the broken limbs hanging on the ceiling didn't move Ning Qi at all.
"Ning Qi, aren't you afraid?"
Hu Yuan asked with a strange look on his face.
"Afraid?
What's there to be afraid of? They're just corpses, not zombies. They won't jump up and bite me. "
Ning Qi smiled.
After a pause, he continued, "That's right, Uncle Hu. Since you like these things so much, you must have a very perverted mentality. I wonder if you've seen zombies before?
If you haven't, I'll invite you to have a look. "
As soon as Ning Qi finished speaking, two figures appeared behind the butcher and the manservant, revealing their ferocious-looking faces.
Snow-white, slender, and sharp fangs that emitted a cold aura sank into the butcher and the manservant's necks without them noticing.
In just a few breaths, the two men's blood had been sucked dry. Then, the two bronze-armored corpses dug out their hearts and swallowed them.
The two men who were still alive just a moment ago seemed to have been sucked dry by the bronze-armored corpses. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of wrinkled human skin that fell to the ground.
Hu Yuan stared at this scene dumbfounded. His eyes revealed a trace of disbelief. His wife and daughter were also shocked by the two green-faced bronze-armored corpses in front of them! "Uncle Hu, let me introduce these two bronze-armored corpses to you. They are my guards."
Ning Qi turned around and revealed a harmless smile as he introduced them to Hu Yuan and the others.
"Copper, bronze-armored corpses …" Hu Yuan spat out a few words with some difficulty. It was as if a storm was set off in his heart.
Among the zombies, bronze-armored corpses were comparable to Golden Core ancestors! If the other party wasn't lying, then didn't the two bronze-armored corpses in front of them represent two Golden Core ancestors?
Ning Qi, who had such a terrifying existence as a guard, just which family's disciple was he!?
At this moment, Hu Yuan felt like the hunter had become the prey. He could already confirm that his previous drug did not cause Ning Qi to be distracted. The other party clearly heard the conversation between him and the housekeeper!
