Chapter 349: Chapter 349 Liu Ming’s Suspicions, Chu Yun’er

“`

“This… this woman is too fierce!”

Watching from a distance, Han Er quickly retreated, then he burrowed underground and fled the scene at his fastest speed.

“It’s over!”

“When I get back, I’m definitely going to be punished by big brother!”

Han Er was running and keeping a diary at the same time.

Gong Qingqiu looked around her; those who met her gaze hurriedly cupped their fists and said, “Elder Gong, we are just here to watch… out of concern for you, with no other intentions.”

Gong Qingqiu did not comment further.

She also wanted to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, but looking around, she could not spot anyone suspicious.

Having no alternative, she took out her Spirit Snake Flying Boat and continued on her way back.

Soon, a piece of news spread throughout County King City.

“I saw it with my own eyes; Mad Blade took on a mission to kill Misty Sect’s Outer Sect Elder Gong Qingqiu but was killed by her instead.”

“What?”

“Wasn’t Gong Qingqiu just at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm?”

“She was originally at the Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, fell back to the Fourth Layer because of a great battle, and was forced to lower her cultivation level, but today, she almost stepped into the Seventh Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, which is shocking.”

“But can she kill Mad Blade in a fight of the same rank?”

“I won’t tell you that within less than ten breaths, Mad Blade was slain by Gong Qingqiu with a spell that can turn corners.”

“What spell?”

“I vaguely remember it’s called qi… qi shaking cold?”

“Pah, that’s called Qi Fighting Technique!”

“No, it’s called qi shaking cold.”

“It’s clearly Qi Fighting Technique!”

…

The people of County King City were all arguing, and the news spread rapidly.

County King’s Manor.

Hearing the news reported by a maid, Shu Hongyu suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, “The one being chased is Gong Qingqiu, and she killed Mad Blade in retaliation?”

“To report to the Commandery Princess, that is the case.” The maid nodded.

Shu Hongyu’s eyes widened instantly.

Originally unremarkable, Gong Qingqiu had become increasingly formidable ever since she joined the Misty Sect, deepening Shu Hongyu’s surprise towards the Misty Sect.

Sect Main Hall.

Liu Ming and Mo Wenshi exchanged glances, both frowning.

“There’s something wrong with this!” Mo Wenshi muttered, “Gong Qingqiu seems to have no enemies, but someone hired an assassin from the Assassin’s Hall, which means they’re targeting Misty Sect.”

“Perhaps,” said Liu Ming with his hands behind his back, “it’s connected to the previous attack on Misty Sect by demon fiends.”

“Oh?” Mo Wenshi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Liu Ming looked into the distance, his face flashing with cold light, “As I understand it, that demon fiend was summoned, which means that within the Southern River Basin, there are foreign enemies lurking.”

“Hiss!” Mo Wenshi was shocked.

Foreign enemies capable of summoning a Demon General level demon fiend?

If it’s true, this is a serious matter!

“Moreover, judging from today’s events, Gong Qingqiu arrived at our County King City first and was then pursued by Mad Blade. Hence, those foreign enemies are most likely hiding within County King City. It might even be someone both you and I know, someone of high position and great power,” Liu Ming said in a deep and serious voice.

Upon hearing this, the surprise in Mo Wenshi’s eyes intensified, and then he frowned and said, “It seems like County King City has been infiltrated for some time.”

“It has,” Liu Ming nodded.

He had another piece of information he didn’t share.

The foreign enemies that had infiltrated County King City were not just from one group.

But given the gravity of the situation, Liu Ming couldn’t possibly tell Mo Wenshi, after all, it was a secret only to be grasped by Spirit Sea Realm experts.

For the time being, it was not suitable to disclose.

“Hall Master, do we need to send someone to escort Elder Gong Qingqiu?” Mo Wenshi thought of something and asked hurriedly.

“The strength she displayed is no less than that of the Ninth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm and even capable of fighting you. Who should be sent to escort her?” Liu Ming asked in return, silencing Mo Wenshi.

In County King City, the news continued to spread like wildfire.

Many people didn’t know who Gong Qingqiu was, but they knew about Mad Blade, the tenth-ranked assassin, and were filled with awe for him.

“`

But now, Mad Blade was killed in retaliation by Gong Qingqiu!

The news was released, and it immediately caused a sensation.

“Gong Qingqiu actually joined Misty Sect and has become so powerful. His strength is enough to overwhelm the Sect Masters of many One-Star Forces.”

“It is said that Ye Feng, the Misty Sect’s Sect Master, is even stronger, having once slain two peak Demon Generals.”

“I heard that the Protector of Misty Sect is even more of a freak, and has publicly blown up a Demon King Level fiend.”

The people of County King City began to discuss.

A small portion of the population thinks that Misty Sect is very strong and sincerely acknowledges it.

Underground in the Black Stone Wasteland.

[Sect Prestige Points +1572]

[Sect Prestige Points +1277]

Ye Feng, listening to the system’s notification, was dumbfounded.

After the affairs of Hu Feifei blowing up the One-horned Demon, along with the battle in South Ming Country’s Northern Liang City, the Misty Sect’s Prestige Points had skyrocketed to over a million.

But lately, the increase had stabilized, with only a few dozen to a hundred points gained each day.

However, today it had soared by tens of thousands.

“What happened?”

“Could it be that Princess has gone out to cause trouble again?”

Ye Feng was increasingly bewildered.

He didn’t know the reason, but the increase in Prestige Points was a good thing; the more, the better.

At the moment, the best use for Prestige Points was to “develop” them, quickly comprehending various spells, cultivation techniques, and secret techniques, turning Ye Feng into a true Great Master of Magic.

“Sect Leader, shall we not take action yet?”

The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was getting restless.

At this moment, the two maintained their disguise as Bi Lian’er, sitting in an independent courtyard.

“No need to rush; we wait for the opportunity,” Ye Feng whispered.

The underground space occupied by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect was different; here the mini-sun was man-made and rarely experienced night.

In broad daylight, it was not suitable for them to go out and investigate secrets.

But plants require photosynthesis.

Therefore, Ye Feng conjectured that there must be times when the underground mini-sun would be turned off, and that would be when their mission started.

“Bi Lian’er, my name is ‘Chu Yun’er’, and from now on, I will be your master, specifically teaching you how to cultivate,” said a graceful beautiful woman in a blue skirt as she walked into the courtyard.

She was a Steward of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.

A woman in her thirties who had just broken through to the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, she had two small dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.

“Greetings, Master,” said Bi Lian’er hastily, bowing.

“This is the Cultivation Technique “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”, let me teach you how to cultivate,” Chu Yun’er reached out, grasped Bi Lian’er’s wrist, and began to take her pulse.

“So comfortable!” touched by Chu Yun’er’s hand, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch couldn’t help but let out an internal laugh like a wild boar.

Ye Feng was speechless.

Still, if the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch wanted to take advantage of Chu Yun’er, Ye Feng didn’t mind, as long as he didn’t interfere with their plans.

“Lian’er, why are you still holding your master’s hand?” Chu Yun’er was curious, noticing that Bi Lian’er before her was staring straight at her with unrestrained eyes, occasionally curling up the corners of her mouth.

“Master has a really nice figure,” Bi Lian’er smiled.

“Huh?” Chu Yun’er reached out and flicked Bi Lian’er’s forehead, chiding, “You naughty girl, why are you focusing on your master’s figure? I am actually envious of your figure; it’s more slender than your master’s.”

As she spoke, Chu Yun’er stretched out her hand.

The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch enjoyed the caress, pretending to be embarrassed on the surface, but inside, he was overjoyed.

“I love cross-dressing!”

“Sect Leader, I’ve decided, I’m going to turn Chu Yun’er, and make her my sixth Dao companion!” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch transmitted to Ye Feng.

“We’re here on an undercover mission, not to chase girls!” Ye Feng really wanted to hang the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch up and beat him.

“If I turn her, won’t we get more information?” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch mumbled internally.

Ye Feng was even more speechless.

All he wanted to say was: Do you really want to turn Chu Yun’er? No, you don’t; you just lust for her body, you’re despicable!
