Chapter 755

Maoling, the tavern where the low-level Jianghu people gathered.

Mengqi changed his appearance and figure a little again. He stepped into the dark and smelly place and ordered a pot of wine and a stack of broad beans. He sat in a corner and quietly listened to others talk about Jianghu.

In front of him, a long-limbed man who seemed to be practicing arm boxing finally saw his companion. He said excitedly and deliberately in a low voice, "Did you hear? Last night, The Astounding and Killing Blade had a big fight in Flower-viewing Garden! "

His companion was dressed as an escort. He laughed and said, "I know more than you. Last night, the Chief Escort heard the noise and went to investigate."

Speaking of this, his expression became serious. He sat down and drank a cup of wine. His expression was either envious, depressed, or admiring. "A fight at the enlightenment of the Acupores was as destructive as a Top Class Master Pro of the Exterior. Wind blew, clouds surged, lightning flashed, the earth cracked, trees snapped, grass flew, houses collapsed, and everywhere was scorched …"

His tone was a little dreamy.

"So, so terrifying?"

"I can't believe it!"

The long-limbed man and his companion exclaimed in unison, full of disbelief.

The escort sighed. "The top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters is indeed worthy of their reputation. Even if Killing Blade Su Meng isn't in the top ten, he's not far from it."

"Does that mean that Frenzied Sword lost?" The man with long arms and legs could tell what was going on.

The escort pondered for a moment. "It's said that he was at a disadvantage, but he was still able to force The Astounding to retreat with one strike and leave safely."

"No wonder you said he was close to the top ten." Another companion smacked his lips. "Why did they fight? The Ranking List of Young Masters? "

The escort's expression was a little strange. "Killing Blade was at the scene when Jiang Hengchuan's cousin was killed. The knife wound was also thunder and lightning."

"What did Killing Blade want to do? Family members shouldn't be implicated! "The long-limbed man cried out.

The escort's expression became more and more strange. "But today, Jiang Hengchuan told several legendary figures that he was too reckless yesterday and wrongly accused Killing Blade. The incident was too coincidental and there must be a trap. Although the knife wound was thunder and lightning, it was actually slightly different from Killing Blade's bladesmanship and weapon. That's why he searched for Killing Blade to seek forgiveness."

"This …" The other two looked at each other. Wasn't this change too fast?

But it was normal. Jiang Hengchuan could enter the Ranking List of Young Masters of Young Masters of Ranking List of Young Masters of Martial Arts. To Jiang Hengchuan's cultivation, Jiang Hengchuan must be strong. Even if he was crazy, he wouldn't be so angry as to ignore the evidence. Once he had calmed down, he would naturally. of

Meng Qi listened quietly. From different Jianghu people, he confirmed that the news of Jiang Hengchuan seeking forgiveness had spread throughout the Martial Arts World. The possibility of it being a scam was very small. Only then did he slowly get up and go out. After taking a few turns, he bought a set of black clothes and restored his appearance and figure. Carrying his blade and sword, he walked on the street.

Forty-five minutes later, Meng Qi was not surprised to see Jiang Hengchuan rushing over like a fish.

He shuttled through the crowd, almost bumping into someone, but he only brushed past them and quickly approached them.

"Young Hero Su, I was rude yesterday. I'm here to apologize." Jiang Hengchuan kept a low profile, but his movements were full of natural interest. His thick eyebrows were still the same, and he looked like a farmer.

Mengqi accepted the bow without batting an eyelid. "Brother Jiang, it's noisy here. Why don't we find a quiet place to talk?"

"Very well." Jiang Hengchuan didn't waste any time. He turned around and led the way.

He chose the Hero Tower.

Since Meng Qi had already passed the test and Jiang Hengchuan's reputation was well known, the day before, they had even joined forces to create a destructive force of the Exterior level. Thus, no one stopped them and they directly climbed up to the fifth floor.

There was no one on the fifth floor. They found a corner and waited quietly for tea.

The aroma of tea wafted into their noses. Jiang Hengchuan stood up and cupped his hands in apology again. "Yesterday, I was too angry and lost my composure. Please forgive me, Young Master Su."

"I wouldn't have been able to calm down in that situation either. I would have taken down the person in front of me," Mengqi answered casually. He didn't hate Jiang Hengchuan.

He was thinking about Jiang Hengchuan's words. Did he also lose his composure yesterday?

In the second half of the night, Mengqi had reviewed the battle. He felt that he was at a complete disadvantage not only because of the difference in strength, but also because he had failed in the confrontation of spirit and soul. After all, he was facing the victim and couldn't really summon the will to fight. He was hesitant, so his momentum was naturally suppressed and he could only use 70% to 80% of his strength.

But now it seemed that Jiang Hengchuan's mind was also flawed. He lost his impatience. They were the same. The battle last night was a true comparison of strength.

He had to work harder!

In another month or two, his Seven Acupores would be completely stabilized and he could start to adjust his Inner World. At that time, his bladesmanship and sword art would be improved.

Jiang Hengchuan's dark skin hid the change in his expression. He said self-deprecatingly, "That's not true. The normal way is to ask Young Master Su to stay and examine the body together. If you don't want to, then I'll make a move."

"Later, I examined the body with Silver Badge Yu and Green-ribbon Dai of the Six Fan School and Head Escort Liang of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. We found that besides the traces of lightning, the genuine Qi was deliberately imitating the Shaolin Golden Bell Shield. However, Head Escort Liang is a Shaolin disciple, so he noticed the slight difference and identified the framing. Only then did I realize that I had made a big mistake."

"Genuine Qi can imitate the Golden Bell Shield … There can't be many martial arts like this …" Mengqi was lost in thought. But the main world was vast and there were many martial arts. There were many that he hadn't heard of, so he couldn't find any clues.

"Could it be the Minor Formless Skill …" Mengqi's thoughts wandered. Even the Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon was involved in this matter, so it couldn't be a coincidence that the Minor Formless Skill appeared.

To be honest, Mengqi's Eight Nine Mysteries could also be imitated. When he cultivated this peerless skill to the Seven Acupores Stage and his Inner World was formed, his control over his body and Vital Spirit would be stronger. His control over the details of genuine Qi and body would be unparalleled among his peers. As long as he had the corresponding scripts as a reference, it was natural for him to change his genuine Qi and imitate its peculiarities.

After thinking for a while, Mengqi frowned and said, "It can imitate the Shaolin Unique Skill. Do you have any clues?"

"Not at the moment. Although there aren't many similar skills, some have long been lost. Maybe someone dug it out from a grave …" Jiang Hengchuan shook his head. "I wonder if Young Master Su has any clues that can help me find the real murderer?"

Mengqi briefly told him about the coffin and the paper ball in the innkeeper's mouth. In the end, he asked, "Brother Jiang, how did your younger brother get killed with you watching over him?"

Jiang Hengchuan was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It's a long story. Please don't tell anyone else."

"Okay." Mengqi nodded slightly. He secretly guessed why Jiang Hengchuan had come to Maoling.

"A few months ago, I killed a heterodox master and obtained a 'chance'. I reaped some benefits in Maoling, but if I want to go deeper, I need three 'chances' at the same time. I didn't have any clues at the moment, so I had to leave Maoling and build a hut to cultivate myself. Unexpectedly, I received a dart message saying that my cousin, Tabo, had been kidnapped. They wanted me to come to Maoling and exchange my chance for him." Jiang Hengchuan deliberately used 'chance' instead of specific things.

"I couldn't get in touch with my third brother, so I had to secretly come to Maoling. I found that nothing had happened to him. He was just addicted to gambling and lost all his money in the Skyfirst No.1. He was forced to pay his debts. It wasn't easy for him to get the money.

"I thought it was strange, so I deliberately didn't show up. I disguised myself and lived in a yard near my third brother's to investigate the person who lured me to Maoling. Last night, I suddenly found a clue and got rid of them. I had just come back for a cup of tea when I heard some noise from the Breeze Villa. I rushed over to check it out and ran into it. I was shocked and angry, thinking that the mastermind was behind it. He warned me to be careful of my other family members!"

"Chance … Could it be the key to the Dongyang Villa?" Meng Qi listened to them calmly.

Qiu Fei must have gotten it from the Dongyang Cottage. What about the others?

After listening to Jiang Hengchuan's description, Mengqi smiled bitterly. "I'm also confused. How would I know what you're talking about?"

Jiang Hengchuan sighed. "I was afraid that others would hear me, so I purposely said that it wasn't easy for a Rogue Cultivator to reap the rewards. If it attracted an Exterior master, then I would have to give it up."

"Brother Jiang, do you have any suspects?" Mengqi went straight to the point.

Jiang Hengchuan's face darkened. "Yes, 'Wind-chasing Stick' Qiu Fei!"

"Why?" Mengqi wasn't surprised by the answer.

Jiang Hengchuan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to grit his teeth. "When I was reaping the rewards in Maoling, I ran into two groups of people. One group had a lot of people and they were competing with each other. The other group was Qiu Fei himself. He also reaped the rewards, but he lacked the other two Chances. He probably had his eyes on me. With his strength, even with his Precious Weapon, it wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat me, but it would be impossible for him to kill me. That's why he came up with this plan. "

Did Qiu Fei have the ability to set up such a trap? Mengqi thought of Wang Siyuan, but Jiang Hengchuan's next words stirred his heart.

"Qiu Fei is very suspicious. His advancement speed is getting faster and faster." Jiang Hengchuan had been paying attention to Qiu Fei for a long time.

Mengqi took a deep breath and recalled Qiu Fei's information.

"Enlightening the Apertures at 17, Four Apertures at 20, Six Apertures at 24, and Seven Apertures at 29." Up to this point, Qiu Fei was considered to be above average. But after that, "Eight Apertures at 32, Nine Apertures at 33, and Hidden Latch of Life and Death at 36."

Mengqi used to think that it was the adventure at Dongyang Thatched Cottage, but now that he thought about it, it didn't make sense. Since Qiu Fei had obtained the "Chance", he should have come to Maoling as soon as possible.

"Brother Jiang, does the Chance need a specific time?" He asked Jiang Hengchuan.

Jiang Hengchuan said with certainty, "No, but the Chances seem to appear at a certain time."

Mengqi didn't say anything else, nor did he mention Wang Siyuan's words. "Brother Jiang, many young masters have gathered in Maoling, and there's a lot going on behind the scenes. I'm afraid there's something fishy about this. Why don't we split up and investigate to find the mastermind?"

"Sure. What do you suggest, Young Master Su?" Jiang Hengchuan immediately agreed.

Mengqi took out the wooden carving from the coffin, the note, and the paper ball from the innkeeper's mouth, and handed them to Jiang Hengchuan. "Everyone who passes by leaves a trace. Brother Jiang, you can check the origin of the wooden carving and the handwriting on the note. I'll investigate the other young masters' purpose for coming to Maoling."

Jiang Hengchuan took the items, stood up, and apologized again.

Just as he was about to leave, Mengqi suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, since it's not easy to become a rogue cultivator, why don't you join the imperial court, aristocratic families, or sects?"

Jiang Hengchuan was stunned at first, and then he smiled like an honest farmer.

"I didn't cultivate so hard just to find a master for myself."
