True Lord Yuanheng probably didn’t expect this either.
But he is not here now, and he doesn't know when he will come back, but this person is already here, and the deal is done, and he can only watch and take steps.
Besides, she still has the upper hand...and this person is not necessarily the enemy.
This is not because Ningxia is gullible. After all, it is impossible for the other party to be held hostage by her like this, even if she wants to cause trouble.
According to this fellow Taoist, he was also the honored guest of the fifth family invited this time, and he also obtained the qualification through a direct lineage of the fifth family. Unexpectedly, something like this happened halfway through the boat. Unfortunately, his cultivation was weak, so he could only retreat to this narrow reserve warehouse.
The other party's words were clear, the logic was clear, and every node was correct. Ningxia also believed it in her heart. Of course, this is just a preliminary judgment. It is still too difficult for her to trust such a person who suddenly appears. After all, in such a chaotic situation.
It’s amazing to find this place. This can no longer be described as secretive, and the luck is also very bad...
You must know that when Zhenjun Yuanheng circled such a place for her to stay, he flipped the surrounding space back and forth and removed all possible dangerous factors. Only then did he dare to use this as a place to settle Ningxia.
It was also Ningxia's good luck that the person hiding in this energy preparation warehouse was not some Nascent Soul Golden Pill, but a foundation-building monk with a weak aura. Otherwise, she would probably have to wash her neck and wait for death, and when True Lord Yuan Heng came back, he would probably have to collect her body.
This monk has a good temper. Except for his aggressive attack at the beginning, he was quite cooperative after that. He sounded good-natured and looked very calm.
The other party was not shy about his identity, saying that he was just an ordinary monk who got lucky, and he was not even a descendant of a noble family. It was only because of the blue eye of the fifth family that he was qualified to visit Cloud Island, which was rare for other cultivators to see.
If what he said is true, he is probably a poor man who was involved. Alas, everyone is the same. God knows they just want to wait quietly to enter Cloud Island, but they encounter such a thing inexplicably. It is quite unlucky.
I heard this person was even more unlucky than her. She was accompanied by an attendant dressed as Lord Nascent Soul, and he was truly alone. Because of his cultivation level, he was treated lightly by the servants of the fifth family on the ship, and even his room was arranged in the servant area.
However, because he was in the servants' area where news was mixed, he got the news much faster than others. When everyone was in chaos, he took the opportunity to hide here.
After hearing this, Ningxia began to have some impressions. She seems to have heard of this.
On the second day after boarding the ship, she went out for some fresh air and happened to pass by the corridor. She heard a group of servants discussing this matter. He said that he had trapped a very shabby-looking guy into the warehouse, and he also scornfully wondered why the fifth family would invite such a person to the island... It turned out to be this unlucky man.
Although now it seems that those people lying on the ground and turned into corpses outside are more unlucky. This one was lucky enough to survive with some blessings from God.
In this way, what the other party said does have some credibility. After all, she didn't know this person personally. The other person might have predicted this in advance and arranged for a servant to send her a message, so they really got it right.
However, sighs are sighs, and sympathy is sympathy. Ningxia cannot just trust the other party.
God knows there is still a bloody battle somewhere outside, and I don't know how many people have died. I can't relax easily. The enemy doesn't know where he is hiding, and he may come out at any time to take her life. It is better to be more cautious about matters related to your own life.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm sorry. Although you don't seem to have any ill intentions, for the sake of safety, I have to do this." Ning Xia changed her posture slightly, although the tip of the sword close to the opponent's back did not move even half a minute, but A slightly slower attitude.
Following Ning Xia's movements, the other party's posture seemed to relax a bit, no longer as hard as a brick. In the darkness, she could clearly hear the other party's uneven breathing, which was a little heavy, but obviously much calmer, and seemed to have calmed down.
The secret fight just now put a heavy burden on both of them. They were both on guard and in a state of extreme tension. It would be detrimental to both parties if they continued. It's better for everyone to take a step back, reduce hostility, and relax, so that everyone can have a good talk, right?
"It doesn't matter." Ning Xia heard the other party say slowly and authentically, as if he couldn't raise his anger. He was a little weak, but his tone was inexplicably firm: "I hope fellow Taoist can let me go after he leaves here."
"Of course, fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry. I am not a murderous person, and I will not do unnecessary things. As I said before, there is no malice. Of course, if you have a grudge against this matter and come to me for revenge, then It’s a different matter…”
Although the other party acted like he was defeated and at his mercy, being calm now does not mean he will be calm in the future. It cannot be ruled out that he secretly resents this moment and looks back to make amends. In this case, Ningxia would not be polite to him.
This is ugly talk at the front. Ning Xia felt that the sword was suddenly stabbed into someone's back. There was no need to be polite or impolite. It was better to speak directly and smart people would figure it out.
There was another moment of silence between the two.
The other party didn't know what he was thinking, while Ningxia was thinking about what to do next. Both of them are able to keep their composure at critical moments, so naturally they won't be in a hurry.
Ningxia now has the upper hand, and her attitude is much more relaxed and casual.
After some thought, Ningxia decided to inquire about this person. Although she didn't ask in detail just now, from the hidden meaning of his words, she probably knew something about what happened, at least more than she knew. that's enough.
"I wonder if my friend could tell me what happened before. I..." Ning Xia didn't hesitate and asked directly.
The other party was not secretive and told Ningxia everything he saw and knew one by one until he hid in the backup warehouse.
Ningxia finally restored a general story from these words.
In fact, it was a very simple incident, exactly the same as the guesses made by Ning Xia and Zhenjun Yuan Heng before they came out. The invited guests on this ship were targeted by a group of people for some reason. The unknown forces colluded with internal forces to plot a group of passengers, and then went on a killing spree.
But the distinguished guests on the ship were not just paper. There were also many powerful people, and all of them had backup plans. They immediately rose up to counterattack and started fighting with the outside monks. Only then did Ning Xia and Zhenjun Yuan Heng see the scenes of corpses everywhere.
...It's really exciting, comparable to the scene of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Of course, this kind of blockbuster film seems to make people emotionally high, but it would not be so pleasant to be an actor in one of them.
