Chapter 822

Mengqi nodded. "Facing a sneak attack from such a master, it's hard to hold back."

He felt innocent. It wasn't that he didn't want to catch him alive.

"Wearing the mask of Fire Lord … Civil Star … Are they in cahoots?" Jiang Hengchuan frowned as he looked at the slowly extinguishing flames. "No, last time someone deliberately framed Civil Star … Did they see that we didn't fall for it, so they used the same trick again? Unfortunately, they were not as good as you and died under your sword."

Deputy Hall Chief Chen Yasong and Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei also sensed that something was wrong about Chu Guan, the Dajiang Gang's Incense Master. They didn't report it to their superiors, lest they were scolded and thought they were stupid.

Of course, Chen Yasong couldn't hide the death of a Incense Master. He had to report it to the Head Altar in Hechuan. However, he only described it truthfully without adding his own opinion. He let the superiors of the Dajiang Gang judge it for themselves and deal with it.

Mengqi said thoughtfully, "The skill he used was similar to Fire Lord in the Myths."

According to the information from "Five Emperors' Knife" Qing Yu, he was 80% sure that it was the real Fire Lord. Coupled with the previous trap, he was even more certain that Civil Star was the mastermind. However, he didn't know how many people from "The Myths" came and whether there were any official members.

"To impersonate Fire Lord, their skills must be similar." Jiang Hengchuan said casually as he looked around. "Who are Civil Star and Fire Lord? Why are they unknown in Jianghu? And why would someone frame them? "

Meng Qi curled his lips. "You'll have to ask them themselves."

If I knew, why would I bother to investigate?

"Master Su, last time you were framed and almost hurt by me. Today you were attacked by a sneak attack. Fortunately, they were not strong enough …" Jiang Hengchuan frowned slightly and looked at Mengqi. "They repeatedly targeted you. I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. Can you think of a reason? This might be an important clue. "

Mengqi thought for a while and decided to reveal a little. "Maoling is full of undercurrents. Many young masters received notes and letters and came here for various reasons, like you. I was the only exception. I came to Maoling on my own. Maybe that's why the mastermind saw me as a thorn in his side or an uncontrollable pawn. "

But there was a problem. Since he had entered Maoling and escaped the trap, why did the mastermind still pursue him? Normally, shouldn't he turn him into a pawn as well?

Jiang Hengchuan was stunned. After a moment, he said, "I didn't expect something like this. I was involved in a mess.

He paused and said, "Master Su, I don, I have to say.

"I'm all ears," Meng Qi said doubtfully.

Jiang Hengchuan weighed his tone and said, "Maoling is the world's most magnificent city and the strategic point of the Yangtze River. Countless skilled fighters come and go daily, and I'm afraid most of them are not invited by the person behind the scenes. Why does he think that you, Master Su, will disrupt his plan and want to get rid of you? "Maybe I'm on the Ranking List of Young Masters." Jiang Hengchuan's words made Mengqi feel strange.

"Maybe I'm on the Ranking List of Young Masters." Jiang Hengchuan's reminder made Mengqi feel strange.

"Maybe my identity as a Secret-searching Nark has been found out by the mastermind?"

"No." Jiang Hengchuan shook his head. Jiang Hengchuan shook his head with certainty. "There are many masters on the Ranking List of Predecessors or late bloomers who come to Maoling. I dare not say that there are many who are as powerful as you, Young Master Su, but there are definitely not too few of them. Since you are here, shouldn't it be better to avoid unnecessary trouble?"

Mengqi nodded solemnly. "You're right."

"Master Su, please think about it. Have you done anything to make the mastermind misunderstand you? For example, did you make him think that you came prepared and wanted to disrupt his plan? "Jiang Hengchuan guessed.

Hearing this, Meng Qi's mind seemed to flash like a spark. He suddenly remembered something. "Yes!"

Jiang Hengchuan looked a little excited as he waited for Mengqi to continue.

"In the Hero Tower, 'Five Emperors' Knife 'Qing Yu said to me,' I didn't expect Donor Su to come. 'I didn't understand and thought it was strange, so I said,' If you can come, I can come too. '" Mengqi reconstructed the scene. "Others may not know, but the mastermind must know who he 'invited'. Killing Blade wasn't there, so why did 'you' look like you knew the secret? Did he come on purpose?"

Jiang Hengchuan looked serious and excited. "It's probably a misunderstanding because of what I said. Who heard it? Will they tell others? "

Mengqi thought for a while and said, "Few people can enter the fifth floor of the Hero Tower. At that time, only 'Five Emperors' Knife 'Qing Yu was there. He was invited. With his personality, he wouldn't use my words to ask others. Oh, and' Bizarro Man 'Ren Pingsheng, the owner of the Hero Tower …"

At the end of his words, he looked thoughtful.

"Could it be Bizarro Man …" Jiang Hengchuan also became serious.

"We don't have any solid evidence. We have to think about it." Mengqi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was. It was either Qing Yu or Ren Pingsheng …

Jiang Hengchuan exhaled. "That's how it should be."

Mengqi picked up Fire Lord's bronze ring. "I have to find out Fire Lord's real identity."

Fire Lord's strength was extraordinary. Even without Peerless Godly Kung Fu, he was at least in the top 30 of the Ranking List of Young Masters. However, as a member of the mysterious organization, his martial arts and weapons were unlikely to be the same as when he appeared as Fire Lord. Maybe that was why he wasn't on the Ranking List of Young Masters. It was difficult to find out his identity. They could only start with the materials of his weapons.

"Okay." Jiang Hengchuan nodded. "Let's find Eight-armed Flying Dragon and the others first."

The Eight-armed Flying Dragon and the Three Eagles of Cloud Ridge left behind messy traces. Mengqi and Jiang Hengchuan spent a lot of time asking the neighbors, but they didn't find any useful clues. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to each other and went home to sort out their thoughts.

Mengqi walked leisurely, thinking about Fire Lord and Bizarro Man, as well as the reason why Master Wang asked You Shaohui to put on a show. The sky got darker as he walked, and the autumn night wind was chilly.

Suddenly, he stopped and patted his forehead with his left hand. He said in a self-deprecating manner, "Why am I thinking about Qing Yu instead of asking him? What if he told someone? "

With a smile, Mengqi changed his direction. Carrying his blade and sword, he went through a secluded alley and turned to the Yellow Court Temple.

This alley was very quiet during the day, but at night, it was even more deserted. The trees on both sides of the walls cast pitch-black shadows, like dancing evil spirits, making people feel cold. The moonlight did not increase the brightness, but instead made it more gloomy.

Mengqi had even encountered real "evil spirits" and zombies, so he wasn't afraid of a secluded road at night. He subconsciously guarded against sneak attacks and walked forward.

Halfway there, a cold wind blew. Mengqi's hair suddenly stood on end, and an indescribable sense of danger suddenly emerged without warning. He subconsciously took a step forward!

Compared to the sneak attack by Fire Lord in the afternoon, this time he was completely relying on his spiritual mind and premonition of danger. Apart from that, he couldn't feel the enemy's movement, figure, or breath at all. It was as if the danger was just his own illusion, and there was no one behind him!

As he took a step forward, the cold wind blew on the back of Mengqi's neck, as if someone had just squeezed his neck to pieces.

Pulling out Heaven Inflicted Pain, Mengqi didn't even turn his head. He backhanded and swept with his genuine Qi, as if he had the power to sweep away thousands of troops.

There was nothing in the air. Mengqi's long blade cut the air, and the conclusion he got was the same as what he felt: there was no one behind him!

But the sense of danger in Mengqi's heart was still rising. He took another step forward, and then another cold wind blew on the back of his neck, making his hair stand on end. It seemed that he had narrowly avoided a fatal blow!

"The intruder can achieve Oneness of Heaven and Men, and become one with the surrounding environment, so I can't feel it?

"With the help of nature, he grasped the flow of my genuine Qi and the reaction of my muscles, and avoided Heaven Inflicted Pain in advance?"

Mengqi had the experience of fighting with Jiang Hengchuan, so his reaction was extremely fast. His Inner World operated, and part of his genuine Qi was dormant, while the rest was operating as usual. There was no abnormality on the surface of his muscles.

Heaven Inflicted Pain lifted backward, and indeed, it cut the air, as if there was no enemy.

At this moment, Heaven Inflicted Pain suddenly jumped, and strangely changed from a lift to a swing, sweeping out.

"Pfft!"

The blade finally cut something as hard as gold and stone. A strong force surged, exceeding Mengqi's inner force by two or three levels.

The dark golden light around Mengqi's body flowed, dispelling part of the force. At the same time, he used the Immortal Pressing Art to turn the dead back to life. He borrowed the force to run forward, and then turned around.

"Eh …" A slightly strange sound rang out, and then there was no more movement.

Mengqi turned around and was about to make a move, but he saw that the alley was empty. The moonlight was weak, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. Where was the enemy?

If it were not for the light "eh" and the feeling of the blade and palm meeting, Mengqi was afraid that he would have thought that he had a nightmare.

His back was drenched in sweat. It was more thrilling than killing Fire Lord in the afternoon, or escaping from Jiang Hengchuan that day. If he had reacted slightly slower, or if his Inner World had not reached the primary level, his neck would have been broken!

"I'm afraid that the enemy just now was more dangerous than Jiang Hengchuan. Moreover, he missed his attack and immediately fled, like a lone wolf …" Mengqi sighed, and he still did not know why the enemy attacked him!

He quickened his pace and became more alert. He quickly passed through the alley and soon arrived at the Yellow Court Temple. After troubling the receptionist, he entered Qing Yu's small courtyard at night.

As soon as he passed through the courtyard gate, Mengqi was stunned. Qing Yu was sitting on a stone bench in the moonlight, as if waiting for him.

However, his hair was messy, and there was a deep claw mark on his left shoulder, from which blood slowly flowed.

Qing Yu treated the wound and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"Who hurt you?" Mengqi seemed to think of something.

Qing Yu snorted proudly, "I was bitten by a wolf."

"Wolf King Tie Sheng?" Mengqi finally knew who the enemy was!

Qing Yu treated the wound and pulled up his clothes. "It's this wolf, a wolf that likes to hunt masters. I didn't expect him to come."

"Wolf King" Tie Sheng, the leader of the new generation in the grassland. It is said that he likes to kill like a wolf. He doesn't need a special purpose, as long as he thinks his opponent is good. However, he is not a crazy person and rarely provokes the core of the big forces in the grassland. I didn't expect that he would come to the Great Jin Dynasty and attack the heir of the Xuan Tian Sect and me … "Mengqi thought of" Wolf King "Tie Sheng's information." Then we have to inform the Six Fan School and the masters of Maoling to prepare to kill this wolf. "

Qing Yu nodded. "That's right. We can't be careless when dealing with a killer. We have to solve it ourselves. Does he really think that there is no one in the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"For him, being alone makes it easy to hide and difficult to expose himself. Once he provokes an Exterior master, he will immediately flee. Even if he kills the heir of a big sect or a son of a big family, as long as he can hide his tracks and escape back to the grassland, who can do anything to him?" As for the Wolf King Tie Sheng, Mengqi was eager to have a try. However, he knew that Tie Sheng's strength was about the same as Jiang Zhiwei's.

The grassland was at war with the North Zhou Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty. If Tie Sheng killed the heir of a big sect or a son of a big family, he would only be appreciated by Khan Gourdo.

Gourdo, on the other hand, was a master that only appeared once in 500 years in the grassland. He had obtained the "Earth-destroying Technique of Firmament" by chance and obtained the "Precious Body of Heaven's Punishment". He ranked first on the Celestial Rankings!

This was not because he was stronger than Taoist Chonghe, the divine monk Kong Wen, and Mr. Lu, but because he wielded a Peerless Heavenly Weapon, the "Scorpio Axe". Naturally, he was stronger than other Dharmakayas who only had normal Heavenly Weapons. Moreover, there was another Dharmakaya in the grassland who cooperated with him to fight against the Dharmakaya of the Central Plains — "Da Man" of the Longevity Denomination.
