Chapter 948

The woman in red hastily swallowed an elixir and sat cross-legged on the ground. Her face was green and her body was surrounded by sword light. If she encountered someone with bad intentions and was not strong enough, she could automatically attack the enemy.

Mengqi sat in the chair and looked her up and down. He found that her main wound was below her chest. It seemed to be caused by a Water-splitting Thorn or some other strange weapon. It was short and deep, almost piercing through her back. The blood was contained by the Sword Qi and did not spill much.

"After the news of the Ninth Heaven ruins spread, the Grand Formation of Luoyang was in a half-activated state. Once there was a sign of drawing the Force of Heaven and Earth, the Six Fan School and the Political Affairs Hall would immediately notice …" Mengqi's mind instantly flashed with images, outlining the cause and effect.

Spying, stalking, encountering at night, suppressing the Interior, long swords and strange weapons. Finally, the woman in red named Sun Yuexiu lost. She was stabbed in the chest and her Protective Upstanding Qi was broken. She barely escaped …

"It is said that Bai Ning, who holds half of the entrance map of the Ninth Heaven ruins, lives in seclusion. There are masters of the imperial court and the Six Fan School secretly monitoring and restraining each other. Why did she have a life-and-death battle with someone else?" Mengqi suddenly laughed at himself. Anyway, he had decided to stay out of it. What was the point of guessing the reason?

He had heard of Sun Yuexiu. She was probably the last of the Four Talents of the Azuremoon Sword Sect in the generation of Amour Monk. She should have crossed the first step of the Celestial Ladder.

He stood up and pushed the door open to check the situation in the courtyard. If he could help, he would. If not, he was not in the mood to step into the muddy water since they were unrelated and he was inexplicably involved.

There were a few drops of blood in the courtyard. Only the low chirping of insects could be heard. Mengqi sensed slightly and found that no one was chasing.

"It seems that she has gotten rid of the pursuers. But she couldn't hold on at the last moment and couldn't stop the blood from dripping. She was worried that the enemy would notice, so she asked for help." Mengqi made a preliminary assessment of the overall situation. Seeing that it was no trouble at all, he did not take it seriously. He washed a basin of water and sprinkled some soil to cover the smell.

Sun Yuexiu was dizzy and relied on her will to protect her Niwan, Hidden Latch, and heart meridian. She mobilized her genuine Qi and mixed it with medicine to relieve her injury. Her mind flashed with the previous encounter.

The wind and rain were heavy, and the night was dark. She found the clues and followed them in the dark …

At the corner of the alley, a ray of dark light suddenly pierced through the air. It was soundless, like an invitation from the King of Hell. It made one's hair stand on end …

He barely managed to dodge the stab, but the other party's attacks were like raging winds and stormy waves, yet they were also flawless. He, who had always been proud of his swordsmanship, actually had no way of fighting back …

Both sides had a tacit understanding to not mobilize the Force of Heaven and Earth, but Meng Qi was still losing ground. Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, he could only conjure the Azure Moon Washing the Sky to confuse the enemy and escape with the help of the water. However, the enemy seemed to have predicted this and entered the water in advance, giving him a fatal blow. Fortunately, Meng Qi's Lightness Skill was extraordinary.

She changed directions several times and finally could not hold on when she reached the yard …

The terrible dark light, the sharp moves, and the flawless attack echoed in Sun Yuexiu's mind. Finally, it stopped at the Water-splitting Thorn in her chest. Blood gushed out!

Sun Yuexiu suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath. She seemed to want to spit out the fear in her heart.

What a terrible enemy!

In a situation where he was unable to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth and the gap between their cultivation levels had been reduced to the minimum, he was still suppressed to such an extent. The other party's insight, experience, understanding of the principles behind the moves, and the speed and strength brought about by his powerful physical body were probably stronger than many Grandmasters!

After a few breaths, she came to her senses and looked out the window. The wind and rain had stopped, and the night was quiet. Inside, the green-robed young master was sitting on a chair with an umbrella and a small parcel in front of him.

"Young master, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have involved you if I had a choice." Sun Yuexiu reluctantly stood up and thanked him.

Mengqi could hide the strength of his body, but he could not completely remove it without changing it. It was obvious that he was an expert who had enlightened the Apertures. That was why she came to him for help.

Seeing that her attitude was acceptable, Mengqi was calm. He did not tease or complain. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's nothing."

Sun Yuexiu coughed. Her eyes were sparkling and full of apology. "Although I'm sure the enemy has been shaken off, I can't guarantee that he won't find this place. You risked your life to help me just now."

"Risked my life?" Mengqi laughed. "The Great Jin Dynasty is bright and clear. Luoyang is under the rule of the Emperor and the benevolent city. It's understandable to encounter bandits on the road. Who would dare to attack an inn?"

Sun Yuexiu's expression froze on her pretty face. She felt that she could not communicate with him. She seemed to have never met someone who trusted the imperial court so much.

She sighed and reminded him, "Luoyang is turbulent. Something big might happen. The inn is not a safe place. I'm afraid it will become a place of trouble. If there's nothing else, please leave as soon as possible."

Mengqi smiled and pointed at the umbrella and the parcel on the table. "I met a friend today and planned to leave tomorrow. If you were in danger one day later, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find anyone to help."

"That's good." Seeing that Mengqi had the intention to leave, Sun Yuexiu was relieved. She solemnly bowed and sincerely said, "Thank you for your help. This is a little money. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to Mount Biyue of North Zhou Dynasty. I will do my best to help."

The promise of an expert of the Exterior was worth a lot.

Looking at the two gold ingots she handed to him, Mengqi almost could not help but accept them with a smile.

Sun Yuexiu's expression relaxed slightly. She bid farewell and returned to her room to continue healing. Mengqi casually stuffed the gold ingots into the parcel for show. He closed his eyes and rested, waiting for Tianming City to open.

After a while, the Taoist priest with the wooden hairpin returned. His left leg was slightly limping. He glanced at Sun Yuexiu's room with a vigilant expression.

Clap, clap, clap! The sound of knocking on wood came from afar. It sounded like the sound of the night watch, but it also sounded like someone singing in the night.

The Taoist priest with the wooden hairpin listened attentively and did not find anything out of the ordinary. He limped back to his room and closed his eyes to heal.

Mengqi ignored it. He held the Tao Te Ching in his hand and calmly read, "The Way of Heaven is to take away the excess and make up for the deficiency. The Way of Man is different. He takes away the deficiency and makes up for the excess."

In order to figure out the strangeness, this was the first time he had read this Taoist scripture so seriously.

Clap, clap, clap! The sound of knocking on wood gradually grew louder. Mengqi suddenly frowned. Something was wrong!

If it was a normal Exterior master, as long as he was not fully alert, communicating with nature and comprehending the various Dharma and Logos of Heaven and Earth, he might not be able to detect the strangeness of the sound. However, Mengqi was sensitive and had already sensed the subtle changes of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, he had a partner like Ruan Yushu. Even if he did not know Temperament, he had some understanding in this aspect!

"The evil sound is specially used to stir up the blood and Qi of the injured …" Mengqi squinted his eyes.

Other than Sun Yuexiu and the Taoist priest with the wooden hairpin, there were probably many ordinary people who had been injured for various reasons. The evil sound did not distinguish between good and bad and caught them all in one fell swoop!

"How vicious!" Mengqi listened attentively and "tasted" the changes of Heaven and Earth. He bent the fingers of his left hand and was ready to strike.

Clap, clap, clap! The sound of knocking on wood had just sounded when Mengqi followed the subtle changes of Qi activity and knocked down with his left hand.

Thud!

The sound was not loud but penetrating. It traveled a long distance and the sound of knocking on wood stopped abruptly.

After a short while, the sound of knocking was heard again. Mengqi observed the changes and once again knocked on the "Dharma and Logos" at the key point of Temperament connection.

Thud!

In the dark shadows of an alley far away, an old man with a hooked nose spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the black wooden board in his hand.

His white hair was messy and he said to himself in horror, "There's a master living in seclusion in Gou-yu Lane!"

The sound of knocking on wood completely disappeared and the night returned to peace.

The Wooden-hairpin Taoist priest, who was slightly injured, looked surprised and doubtful. He looked at where Mengqi was through the wall.

Mengqi closed his eyes and rested, allowing him to peep at him.

After a long time, a faint light appeared on the horizon. Mengqi suddenly had an idea. He spread his spirit and sealed the room, isolating it from the outside world.

"What will come will eventually come …" Mengqi sighed. He operated the Eight Nine Mysteries and sensed the call of the unseen world. This was the power of the contract!

The green lamp was old and the flame was as small as a bean. In the blink of an eye, it jumped and made a crackling sound. The light outlined a figure in a white dress. Her eyebrows were like a painting, delicate and ethereal. She tilted her head slightly and smiled. She was beautiful and charming. It was the Demoness of Grand Luo, Gu Xiaosang!

"It's been a long time. Have you ever missed Xiaosang, my husband? I often miss you so much that I can't sleep. "Gu Xiaosang's lips moved slightly, revealing her teeth like braided shells. Her tone was full of affection.

"Thinking of how to harm me …" Mengqi thought. He said calmly, "Miss Xiaosang, are you here for the ruins of the Ninth Heaven?"

"My husband, why are you still so distant?" Gu Xiaosang looked aggrieved. Suddenly, she broke into a smile that was more beautiful than the blooming of a hundred flowers. "I understand now. My husband is flirting with me. Just like other couples, they always call me brother, sister, and sweetheart. Since you call me Miss Xiaosang, should I call you Young Master Su, Young Master Meng, or Brother Zhen Ding?"

Her voice was so soft and sweet that Mengqi couldn't help but shiver.

"Get to the point!"

"Point?" Gu Xiaosang put her right index finger on her cheek. "I wonder if my husband has learned anything from the collection of Shang River Fairy? I'm still looking forward to exchanging information. "

Her eyes were deep and full of laughter. It seemed that she was teasing Mengqi.

Before Mengqi could fly into a rage, Gu Xiaosang slightly straightened her face. "My husband, now is the best time to explore the ruins of the Ninth Heaven. Where are you? I'll come to find you."

"I'm in Luoyang." Mengqi said concisely.

Gu Xiaosang's eyes were mesmerizing. "We really are fated to meet. I'm also in Luoyang. Let's meet tomorrow night by the Golden River Bridge. The moon is high above the willow tree. We'll meet after dusk."

Mengqi chuckled and suddenly asked, "Did you deliberately spread the news about the ruins of the Ninth Heaven in Luoyang?"

Gu Xiaosang's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. She smiled and said, "If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The light dimmed and the figure disappeared. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Mengqi was lost in thought. He was thinking about many things.

Early in the morning, Mengqi, dressed in a green robe, stepped out of his room with a bag on his back. He saw Sun Yuexiu coming in to welcome a woman in green. She looked ordinary but her eyes were fierce and terrifying.

"Master, are you leaving?" Sun Yuexiu asked.

"Yes." Mengqi nodded with a smile.

The woman in green smiled and said, "I'm Yuexiu's Senior Sister. I just arrived today. I thank you on behalf of my sect. Please tell me your name so that we can remember it."

Sun Yuexiu's Senior Sister liked to wear green. Mengqi immediately knew who she was. Ren Jingxiu!

More than ten years ago, she was famous for her swordsmanship. She occupied the first place on the Ranking List of Young Masters for two years. Now, she was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster. She was the first master of the Xiu generation in the Biyue Sword Sect!

"I never leave my name when I do good deeds." Mengqi laughed and walked past them without a care. He left the inn and planned to find Yuan Lihuo to make sure he could meet Gu Xiaosang.

"Master, you're quite chivalrous." Ren Jingxiu was stunned for a moment before she praised him.

Sun Yuexiu looked at Mengqi's back and nodded slightly. "It's a pity that I missed the best time to practice the best skills …"
