After leaving Qing Yueqiu, Zuo Zhicheng walked quickly through the forest and climbed up a tree to rest. Although he had escaped from the underground ruins, he had used up a lot of his energy and stamina.
After eating a psionic fruit, Zuo Zhicheng tied himself to a tree branch with a rope and started to sleep.
Two hours later, Zuo Zhicheng opened his eyes. There seemed to be beams of light shooting out from his eye sockets. He untied the rope and did not leave immediately. Instead, he was thinking about what to do next.
Thinking about the strength that Shenzong had shown in the information, Zuo Zhicheng thought to himself, 'Looks like my original plan won't work. I'll have to take the risk of being exposed and speed up the process.' The existence of the ancient ruins and NASA's discovery made Zuo Zhicheng feel a strong sense of urgency.
With the existence of psionic food, the time for him to practice martial arts would be greatly extended. In addition, he still had to translate the first two volumes of Taoist scriptures, practice Night Sea, and achieve a breakthrough in Spirit and Human Form. Zuo Zhicheng had too many things to do in the future.
'I need some power. It's troublesome to rely on Gui Quan's identity alone. I also need to borrow the power of the Shadow Corps. 'Zuo Zhicheng touched his chin.' And the dojo … '
After thinking for a while, he had a rough idea of what to do next. In order to speed up the process of improving his strength, he made some adjustments to his original plan. Although it would increase the possibility of being exposed and attracting Shenzong's attention, it seemed that speeding up the process was inevitable.
…
Two days later, Qing Yueqiu looked at the documents in front of him. His eyes flashed with surprise and understanding. He looked up at his subordinate and asked, "You didn't tell anyone about this, right?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Very good." Qing Yueqiu set the documents in his hand on fire and burned them. He looked up and said, "You can leave now. Pretend that this never happened. Don't mention it to anyone."
"Understood."
Seeing her subordinates leave, Qing Yueqiu let out a deep breath. After returning, because of her relationship with Song, she began to suspect Gui Quan's identity. After careful consideration, she sent people to investigate.
He immediately discovered that Zuo Zhicheng from the dojo had also disappeared during the few days they had been away from New Continent. He even said that he had gone to work on a ship, but he did not manage to find any news about him on any of the ships on New Continent.
At this time, the man he sent to track down Zuo Zhicheng was found unconscious in an alley.
"A warning?" Thinking about Zuo Zhicheng's appearance, his Innate Qi was different from Gui Quan's. The two of them shouldn't be the same person, but they both left at the same time. This meant that the two of them had a close relationship. Of course, it wasn't impossible for Zuo Zhicheng to have the ability or item to hide his Innate Qi.
"Even if they aren't the same person, from the fact that he wanted me to spare Song's life, their relationship must be extraordinary." Qing Yueqiu thought this, but did not continue investigating. The other party's investigative and anti-investigative abilities were obviously much stronger than theirs. If they continued investigating, they would only offend the other party for no reason.
For Qing Yueqiu and the others, knowing that Zuo Zhicheng and Gui Quan had a relationship was already a great help.
Tang Xianghui said, "If that's the case, do we need to secretly support the Haoran Martial Arts Center? After all, they are currently at a disadvantage in the battle with the Chaoyang Martial Arts Club."
Qing Yueqiu said, "We don't need to for now. If we interfere too much, Gui Quan might be unhappy."
Tangyuan speculated, "We've been guessing that Gui Quan used to be in some secret force. If he has a close relationship with Zuo Zhicheng, could Zuo Zhicheng be his former comrade?"
"Comrade?" Tang Xianghui shook her head. "Zuo Zhicheng doesn't look like it. I think it's more likely that he's a son, nephew, or disciple. "
After the exploration in the underground relics, the members of the Shadow Corps were more and more in awe of Gui Quan's strength. They also truly understood how terrifying this person was. Not only was he terrifying now, but he also had the potential to become a super strong person.
Qing Yueqiu said coldly, "Don't worry about that. We just need to know that Zuo Zhicheng and Gui Quan have a close relationship."
"What about Song?" Tangyuan asked. Although Song wasn't killed, he was temporarily put under house arrest by the Shadow Corps to keep the secret.
"Let him go." Qing Yueqiu said lightly, "Just warn him to keep the secret."
The exploration in the underground relics not only brought Gui Quan closer to the Shadow Corps, but it also brought Qing Yueqiu closer to Tangyuan and Tang Xianghui.
The three of them discussed for a while. Lin Gang Ho, who was in charge of the Hundred Families Association, also hurried over. He came to report the situation in New Lu City during Qing Yueqiu's absence.
"This Ri Huo is getting more and more arrogant. During your absence, he challenged six Wushu associations. In addition to the few that Xiao Jingyang bought with money, the entire Wushu associations are almost under the control of Chaoyang Martial Arts Club."
"However, Ri Huo's skills are indeed very strong now. In his hands, the Eagle Claw is much more powerful than Xiao Jingyang's. This time, even Jiang Tien-cheng was plotted against by him … "
Lin Gang Ho was halfway through his words when he realized that Qing Yueqiu and the others were all staring at him. He muttered, "What's wrong?"
Qing Yueqiu frowned and said, "You just said that Jiang Tien-cheng was plotted against? How is that possible? His martial arts should be higher than Ri Huo's. "
"He's been drugged." Lin Gang Ho seemed to feel the unusual tension in the atmosphere. His expression also became serious. "Ri Huo injured a student from the Haoran Martial Arts Center. Jiang Tien-cheng was arguing with Xiao Jingyang at the dinner table today. In the end, Ri Huo broke his waist. He's lying at home right now. I don't know if he can still stand up. "
"Drugged?" Qing Yueqiu said anxiously, "Why didn't you stop him?"
"Why … Why should I stop him?" Lin Gang Ho saw that Qing Yueqiu, who had never been angry before, was like this. He asked weakly, "With the unification of the Wushu associations and Ri Huo's position in the Hundred Families Association rising, isn't this more beneficial to the mission given by the higher-ups? It's also in line with the original action plan set by the regiment this year, to control the enemy with the enemy. "
"These idiots." Qing Yueqiu thought for a moment and immediately asked, "When did this happen?"
"Just a few hours ago. They gathered at the Chaoyang Martial Arts Club and had dinner. "
"Maybe there's still time." Qing Yueqiu exhaled. "Gather everyone and go to the Chaoyang Martial Arts Club. Also, inform the City Defense Army to send a flintlock team over and surround the Chaoyang Martial Arts Club."
"Miss, are you going to …" Tang Xianghui said in surprise.
"Just in case. Tell everyone that no one is allowed to do anything without my order." Qing Yueqiu stood up. "Let's go. I hope it's not too late."
Qing Yueqiu and the others hurriedly walked out. However, they did not notice that Zuo Zhicheng, who was wearing a mask, nodded slowly in the shadows outside the wall. The Shadow Corps' judgment was as he had expected. However, he did not expect that the Haoran Martial Arts Center …
…
Under the moonlight, a figure slowly pushed open the door of the Haoran Martial Arts Center.
Zuo Zhicheng walked towards Jiang Tien-cheng, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Jiang Qing was lying on the side, holding a bowl of black medicine in her hand.
"Zuo?" Jiang Qing turned her head. There was surprise in her eyes, but it immediately turned into sadness. "You're back?"
"Sorry … I'm late."
"You left without saying anything, and now you're back." Jiang Qing smiled sadly. It seemed that she wanted to vent all the sadness and sadness in her heart. Jiang Qing grabbed Zuo Zhicheng's shoulder and shook it non-stop.
