Chapter 214 You? Not yet! Let Wugensheng come to see me
Xu San's brow furrowed, his gaze darting through the night, as if searching for something. "It's hard to say, but their behavior is certainly suspicious," he whispered, a subtle hint of worry in his voice.
Zhang Chulan's eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement when he heard this. "How about we go and have a look tonight?" he suggested, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.
When Xu Si heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he nodded in agreement.
His eyes were deep, as if he could see through all the secrets in the night.
As the night deepened, the five people quietly arrived at the back mountain of Biyou Village.
This was originally a place for villagers to rest, but now it was filled with many contestants. They sat or stood, their expressions solemn, as if waiting for something.
Zhuge Qing looked around, and the scene before him made him feel a little emotional.
The last time he came here, he and Wang Ye had a fight over a treasure.
At that time, they had completely different identities and purposes. He sighed softly, and the sound dissipated in the night wind.
"There have been so many changes here." Zhuge Qing exclaimed, his eyes filled with memories of the past and confusion about the future.
Wang Ye heard this and a playful smile appeared on his face. "Yeah, we had a fight here last time," he teased, as if trying to break the dull atmosphere.
Zhuge Qing heard this and smiled awkwardly. He really didn't want to bring up that fight again, but Wang Ye always seemed to bring it up, intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel a little helpless. However, he also knew that Wang Ye was just teasing him and meant no harm.
The five of them quietly made their way through the crowd and arrived deep in the back mountains. There was a dense forest there, looking somewhat mysterious. The trees were tall and dense, their branches intertwined, as if swallowing up all sound and light.
Xu San and others looked at each other and decided to act separately to find a possible secret training place.
They knew that this mission was of great importance and they had to be cautious.
Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye were paired together, following a narrow path deep into the dense forest. Densely packed trees lined the path, and moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Zhuge Qing couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing full well that this dense forest might harbor unknown dangers.
"Wang Ye, what do you think is here?" Zhuge Qing asked in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly in the night wind.
Wang Ye glanced back at him, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I don't know, but since I'm here, I have to investigate thoroughly," he replied, his tone unquestionable and firm.
Zhuge Qing shook his head helplessly. He knew Wang Ye's character. Once he made a decision, he would never give up easily. So, he could only muster up his courage and follow Wang Ye on.
As they went deeper into the dense forest, the trees grew thicker and thicker, nearly blocking out all the moonlight. Zhuge Qing's heart raced, and he gripped his weapon tightly, ready to respond to any danger.
At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from the front. Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye immediately stopped, held their breath, and listened carefully. The sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching them.
Zhuge Qing looked at Wang Ye nervously, only to see that Wang Ye looked normal, with even a hint of excitement in his eyes. He gently patted Zhuge Qing's shoulder, signaling him not to be afraid.
At that moment, a figure suddenly leaped out from the bushes. Zhuge Qing was so startled that he nearly dropped his weapon. But he quickly saw the figure: it was a nocturnal animal.
Wang Ye couldn't help laughing at Zhuge Qing's nervous expression. "Look how scared you are! It's just a small animal," he said jokingly.
Zhuge Qing smiled awkwardly. He knew he had lost his composure a bit. But he also knew that this mission was of great importance and he had to remain vigilant at all times.
They continued on, finally emerging from the dense forest. Before them lay a quaint village, its houses arranged in a neat pattern, and curls of smoke rose from chimneys. This was once where Ma Xianhong had refined his furnace, but now it seemed unusually peaceful.
Wang Ye looked at the village in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Just then, the voices of Xu San and his companions rang out from the front. They had apparently discovered the village and were approaching cautiously. Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing immediately rushed over to meet them.
Xu San looked at the village in front of him, his brows furrowed. "Something's wrong here. We have to be careful," he said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, deciding to slowly approach the village from three different directions. Wang also chose the northeast direction. He climbed onto a rooftop and looked down at the entire courtyard. He saw the aliens in the courtyard with expressionless faces and mechanical movements, as if controlled by some force.
Wang Ye was shocked. These strange people had actually been turned into puppets! He immediately realized that there must be a huge secret hidden here. He shook his head, turned and left the roof, and decided to find others to discuss countermeasures.
When he returned to the surface, he found Li Qiankun resting in his tent. Li Qiankun was an old friend, and this time he had come to Biyou Village with them. Wang Ye gently patted his shoulder, signaling him to wake up.
Li Qiankun opened his eyes and was slightly startled when he saw Wang Ye. "Wang Ye, what did you find?" he asked.
The king didn't say anything, but simply pointed in the direction of the village. Li Qiankun looked in the direction he pointed and saw those strange people wandering around the yard like zombies. His face suddenly became solemn.
At this moment, an old woman in linen clothes and with silver hair suddenly appeared in front of them. She claimed to be Duanmu Ying, which surprised Li Qiankun and others.
Li Qiankun looked at her and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But he soon realized that this Duanmu Ying was not the person he knew. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Duanmu Ying smiled slightly, with a sly glint in her eyes. "I'm Duanmu Ying, don't you recognize me?" she said.
Li Qiankun shook his head, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance. "No, you are not her. The Duanmu Ying I knew is dead," he said.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Li Qiankun asked warily, his eyes fixed on the mysterious woman before him. She was tall and slender, dressed in a black suit, with a delicate face and a deep and mysterious look in her eyes.
"Me? You don't need to know. I came here to find someone." Her voice was calm and deep, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, making people feel a chill involuntarily.
Li Qiankun looked at her, his heart full of doubts. He was not sure whether Duanmu Ying was a friend or an enemy, nor did he know what her purpose was in coming here.
But he was very clear about one thing: there must be some secret hidden in this village, and this secret was very likely related to Duanmu Ying.
At this time, Wang Ye slowly walked out from the darkness. He stood aside and silently observed the development of the situation.
His eyes showed both memories of the past and worries about the current situation.
"Li Qiankun, you have defeated many people. Your strength is truly admirable. But the only one in the world who can be our enemy is the one from Longhu Mountain."
Duanmu Ying's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a tremendous force that could not be ignored.
Li Qiankun raised his eyebrows, shocked.
Although he had never met Duanmu Ying, he had already heard of his name.
There are many masters in Longhu Mountain, but only a few can match him.
However, Duanmu Ying dared to speak so frankly, which shows that he is very powerful and is definitely not an ordinary person.
"The emergence of Biyou Village seems to have attracted quite a few talented individuals," Li Qiankun muttered to himself, his heart already in turmoil. He had long known that there were many masters in the world, but he had never expected such a concentration in this small village.
What kind of secret is hidden behind this? Li Qiankun couldn't help but feel curious and uneasy.
Duanmu Ying watched Li Qiankun's unpredictable expression, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Li Qiankun, do you know the 36 thieves? What's your connection to them?" Her words were like a sharp blade, striking Li Qiankun in the heart.
Li Qiankun's face darkened. He knew Duanmu Ying was testing him. Thief 36, that was a long-forgotten past.
"I'd like to see the strength of Thief 36." Li Qiankun said lightly, with a cold light in his eyes.
Although he had never fought against the 36 thieves, he was absolutely confident in his own strength. He believed that no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would fight to the end and never retreat.
Duanmu Ying sneered, a hint of disdain in his voice. "You? You're not qualified. I was born for Wu Gen, and he wanted to test your strength."
Wu Gensheng! The moment this name came out, Li Qiankun's heart was instantly shaken. Wu Gensheng, the leader of the 36 thieves, was mysterious and his strength was unfathomable. He had never expected that he would attract Wu Gensheng's attention. What kind of conspiracy and calculation was hidden behind this? Li Qiankun couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
"What did Wu Gensheng say?" Li Qiankun asked in a deep voice.
He knew that Duanmu Ying's appearance must be related to Wu Gensheng, and Wu Gensheng's intentions were what he was eager to know.
"He said you're good, but you need more training," Duanmu Ying said, suddenly moving and attacking Li Qiankun. Her speed was extremely fast, like a ghost, making it difficult to defend against.
Li Qiankun's eyes fixed, and his figure instantly vanished, leaving only a shadow. With his extraordinary agility and keen intuition, he nimbly dodged Duanmu Ying's attacks. Each time, he narrowly avoided them, leaving everyone worried for him.
Duanmu Ying's attack missed and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
She hadn't expected Li Qiankun's movements to be so strange, leaving her momentarily unable to grasp them. But she didn't give up, and continued to attack. Her moves became more and more fierce, and her offensive became more and more intense.
Li Qiankun observed Duanmu Ying's moves and tactics while dodging. He found that although Duanmu Ying's moves were sharp, they were somewhat flashy and superficial. He secretly calculated in his mind, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Finally, while dodging, Li Qiankun found Duanmu Ying's weakness. He flashed, instantly appearing behind Duanmu Ying and striking out with a palm. His palm power was powerful and overbearing, like a mountain torrent, unstoppable.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Duanmu Ying was knocked back by Li Qiankun's palm and fell heavily to the ground. Her face was pale, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She lay on the ground, looking at Li Qiankun in shock, as if she couldn't believe that she had been defeated so quickly.
Li Qiankun looked at her coldly and said, "Where is Wu Gensheng? Let him come out to see me!" There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice, which made people shudder.
