Without waiting for Du Huaishang and Meng Qi's reply, Miao Hu continued, "My son has fallen into the enemy's hands. I dare not act rashly for fear of harming him. However, Master was able to slay Lord of Shadows in the camp surrounded by masters and Heavenly Weapons before leaving. You'll definitely be able to rescue my son from the hands of those rascals. Please help me, Master."
He admitted that he did not have the strength to risk losing his son, so he asked Mengqi, who had just accomplished an incredible feat, to help.
As a master of the top three ranks, it was not that he had no confidence in himself, but killing Lord of Shadows was too difficult. Anyone who could accomplish it would be highly regarded.
Mengqi did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Du Huaishang and nodded slowly when he saw the latter's pleading expression. "My companion has a secret skill. Perhaps he can find Young Master Miao's whereabouts."
In his own tent, Mengqi's doppelganger transmitted his voice to Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others. He explained the situation and invited Qi Zhengyan over.
The void behind Qi Zhengyan floated as if something had detached from it. He remained seated without a trace.
In the main camp, the Restrictive Spell disappeared. A blood-red light flashed to Mengqi's left before vanishing. Qi Zhengyan appeared. His breath was steady, making it hard to tell if it was Qi Zhengyan or his doppelganger.
He cut to the chase and said, "I do have a secret skill, but I need the blood of my relatives to guide me."
"Well said!" Seeing that Du Huaishang and Meng Qi were looking at him, Miao Hu's expression became anxious. He nodded without hesitation and extended his left hand that was not holding the crutch. His skin cracked and a few drops of blood flew out, forming a clear spherical shape.
Qi Zhengyan grabbed the blood in his hand and held it tightly. His eyes shone brightly as if there were countless blood-red lines protruding.
"West Camp …" Qi Zhengyan said in a low voice.
"Progeny Army? Liu Shunshui, that bastard! "Miao Hu was furious. He looked like he was ready to confront" Great Heavenly King "Liu Shunshui.
"Calm down, Miao Hou. Maybe it's a spy," Du Huaishang said calmly.
Without waiting for Miao Hu's reply, he looked at Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan. "I'll have to trouble the two masters to make a trip and inform them that I've regained consciousness. I'd like to invite the Great Heavenly King over to discuss important matters. When the time comes, the Army of Progeny will be without a leader. You can use the excuse of being a spy to sneak in and ask the young generals for help in the search."
As he spoke, he took out a brass token with a dragon on the top and a tiger on the bottom. This was the symbol of the leader of the Revolutionary Army and contained Du Huaishang's breath.
Miao Hu was, after all, a Grandmaster. Even though he had only taken the path of tempering his bloodline, he was still experienced and had good control over his emotions. He suppressed his anger and said sincerely, "Thank you for your trouble, Masters."
Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan changed their disguises slightly and walked to the west camp of the Army of Progeny as the leaders of the Red Coat Army. They requested an audience with "Great Heavenly King" Liu Shunshui.
Liu Shunshui was a dignified middle-aged man dressed in a loose black robe. He had a steady bearing and restrained strength, unlike Zhu Shou and Miao Hu who were flamboyant and wanted everyone to recognize them as masters of the top three ranks at a glance.
"Foster Father, they're the ones requesting an audience." The valiant man who led Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan in bowed respectfully.
Beside Liu Shunshui stood a few men and women who were either handsome or dignified. Their breaths could stir heaven and earth and they were all at the level of the Exterior.
They were Liu Shunshui's foster sons and daughters. Including those who were patrolling outside, there were a total of seven of them!
It was precisely because Liu Shunshui liked to adopt young people with potential who followed him as his foster sons and daughters. They were like father and son soldiers in battle and brothers when fighting tigers. That was why his volunteer army was called the "Army of Progeny".
"Foster Father, Foster Father …" The corner of Mengqi's mouth twitched. He took out Du Huaishang's token and said, "Great Heavenly King, our Heavenly King has awakened and is recovering well. He would like to invite you over to discuss an important matter."
"Heavenly King Du has recovered?" The one who blurted out was a beautiful woman beside Liu Shunshui. She had a voluptuous figure.
Liu Shunshui's other foster sons and daughters were stunned. They never expected Du Huaishang, who was on the verge of death yesterday, to miraculously recover and wake up!
Liu Shunshui narrowed his eyes, his gaze almost solid. "I met Heavenly King Du yesterday. His injuries are strange and Immortal Wanshi was helpless against them. How could he suddenly recover? Could it be that he is favored by the gods and demons and is under the protection of the Heavenly Dao? "
He kept a close eye on his Army of Progeny, afraid that this was a trap set by the other families. If he went there and fell into the trap, he would be surrounded by masters and be at the mercy of others. That was why he had to ask in advance.
Mengqi said sincerely, "Last night, a Dissimilated Man called 'Shi' came to join us …"
At this point, he felt strange. The name 'Shi' didn't sound good …
He quickly came to his senses and wanted to slap himself. Even if he was Heavenly Primogenitor Yuanshi, calling him 'Yuan' would be better than 'Shi', or 'Pan' or 'Gu' would be good too. But now, how could he report his name? Perhaps it could make the other party laugh to death and disturb their mood!
His heart was in turmoil, but his expression did not change. Mengqi continued, "This Dissimilated Man is an old acquaintance of our Heavenly King. He is powerful and resourceful. He found out that our Heavenly King's injuries were caused by cursed Gu worms entangling his Vital Spirit, so he went to the camp of the imperial court that very night and killed Lord of Shadows, who was controlling the Gu worms. Our Heavenly King recovered without any medicine!"
"Went to the camp of the imperial court that very night and killed Lord of Shadows, who was controlling the Gu worms …" Mengqi said it so casually that Liu Shunshui did not react for a moment. He pondered for a moment before his pupils contracted unnaturally.
"Killed Lord of Shadows?"
"Yes, but I don't know the details." Mengqi's expression did not change.
Liu Shunshui's powerful foster children looked at each other in disbelief. They had all witnessed the strength of the Lord of Shadows during the War of the Mountains and Rivers. How could he be so easily killed by someone? Furthermore, it was in the most heavily guarded camp!
After a moment of silence, Liu Shunshui seemed to be secretly calculating. After confirming that Lord of Shadows was really dead, he sighed and said with mixed emotions, "A Dissimilated Man came to our aid when we were in danger. Heavenly King Du is truly blessed."
After giving a few instructions to his foster children, he did not wait for Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan. He took a few steps forward and flashed to the central camp.
At this moment, Mengqi cupped his hands again and said, "Young generals, we discovered a spy earlier but he hid in the camp of your Army of Progenitors. Please help us search for him."
The "young generals" were still in shock. Liu Chao, the number one foster son, said, "Third sister, you lead them to search. Don't break the rules of the camp."
They had all adopted Liu Shunshui's surname, which was a great honor in the Army of Progenitors.
Liu Yuntao, the beautiful girl who had lost her voice just now, nodded and agreed. She looked at Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan and asked, "Are we going to search every tent or do you have some clues?"
Mengqi said, "We have a secret method to trace him."
"Good." Liu Yuntao turned around, lifted the tent flap, and led the way.
Qi Zhengyan followed beside Mengqi and sent him a telepathic message. "Aren't you ashamed of praising yourself like that?"
He seemed to be unaccustomed to Mengqi praising himself as the leader of the Red Coat Army, saying things like "powerful strength" and "remarkable abilities" …
Mengqi laughed dryly. "Isn't this to boost their confidence? Creating an image of mysterious and invincible reinforcements is the only way. Look at how Liu Shunshui dispelled some distracting thoughts at the end. "
Qi Zhengyan did not say anything else. From time to time, he would ask Liu Yuntao to change directions.
After walking for a while, he sent a telepathic message to Liu Yuntao and Mengqi, "It's in the tent ahead. Let's approach it carefully."
Liu Yuntao's face suddenly turned red. "Nonsense! That's my tent!"
"Are you implying that I'm colluding with a spy?"
Mengqi's right hand was already on the hilt of his saber. He stared at Liu Yuntao with a deep gaze.
Qi Zhengyan did not look embarrassed. He said bluntly, "Even if Miao Cong isn't hiding in there, there's something related to his bloodline."
Liu Yuntao's face turned red, then white, then red. After a long while, she finally asked, "Why are you looking for Miao Cong?"
"He was kidnapped. Didn't you notice the commotion he caused last night?" Mengqi explained, sensing that the situation was a little strange.
Liu Yuntao shook her head blankly. "I thought it was a conflict between Zhu Shou and Immortal Wanshi. I wanted to watch the fight from the sidelines, but it turns out he was kidnapped …"
"No wonder I didn't see him …"
Qi Zhengyan looked into her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have an affair with him?"
'Damn it, Senior Brother Qi, this kind of question is shameful. You have to be tactful, do you understand?' Mengqi cursed in his mind.
Liu Yuntao was silent for a while before nodding gently. "We've known each other since we were in Jianghu. We made a promise to marry each other. The night before yesterday, we agreed to meet at the foot of West Hill by the river bank. However, after I rushed there, I didn't see him even after waiting for a long time. I thought he was grounded by Miao Hou because of the urgency of the war … The item related to his bloodline should be the brocade sachet tangled in our hair."
She led Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan inside and rummaged through the brocade sachet of love.
Qi Zhengyan did not feel ashamed of having made a mistake. He said calmly, "Meeting near West Hill? There are indeed clues about our bloodline there. "
"With his strength and identity, no one in the camp can subdue him without a sound! Yes, he must have been kidnapped after sneaking out of the camp! "Liu Yuntao suddenly became agitated and felt guilty.
Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan looked at each other and turned around, heading straight for West Hill. Liu Yuntao hesitated for a while before chasing after them.
…
West Hill was a certain distance from the camp of the Revolutionary Army. Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan smoothly left the gate with Du Huaishang's token and arrived at West Hill.
The hills by the river were stained with the breath of demons all year round. They had strange shapes and many caves. Without waiting for Liu Yuntao, they followed the strange connection of their bloodline and went deep into the hill.
"It's just ahead." Qi Zhengyan stopped and said.
Mengqi nodded. "I'll transform and go check it out first."
Qi Zhengyan did not show any emotion. "Be careful."
"Don't worry. It's not like I haven't experienced something similar." Mengqi said with a smile.
With a shake of his body, he transformed into a flying insect and stealthily bypassed the hill and ravine. He discovered a concealed depression in front of him. Two men in black were guarding it closely.
Behind them, a young man in a general's robe of the Nine Mountains had his eyes closed and his breath sealed. He leaned against a rock, looking very similar to Miao Hu.
…
In their own tent, Jiang Zhiwei and the others were meditating with their eyes closed, waiting for the result of Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan's rescue. Suddenly, Xu Wei walked in and said with a smile, "Lord of the Sea Pagoda invites you to meet him."
Jiang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly opened like a famous sword leaping out of its sheath. Xu Wei could not help but take a few steps back.
…
After a brief discussion, Mengqi lurked nearby and let Qi Zhengyan launch a surprise attack, fearing that the other party would kill them in a hurry.
A purple river of stars fell from the sky and rushed toward the two men in black. Mengqi suddenly changed back to his original form. He exerted strength in his waist and stepped on the ground, leaving an afterimage. He forcibly rushed through the guarded pass and arrived beside Miao Cong.
He had just turned around to prevent the two men in black from killing when a palm suddenly came from behind.
"Slap!"
The palm fell on empty air. Mengqi had already turned around at some point.
Behind him, Miao Cong's breath surged and his face was full of astonishment!
Mengqi looked at him with a smile, not the least bit surprised.
"After the incident with Jiuniang, I know I have to guard against hostages!"
