In the Shadow Pavilion, Mu Qingdu was still recalling his experience in the previous trial when he saw a man with a face covered hurriedly came over, slapped the table in front of him, and asked:
"The dignified Shadow Pavilion is actually making fun of people!"
Mu Qingdu didn't understand what it meant at first, but he understood it after seeing the other party's reaction.
He was surprised in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Shadow Pavilion doesn't know how to play tricks on people. If you want to slander, you have to think about the price you have to bear!"
Liu Minghua calmed down his anger, suppressed his emotions and said: "Okay, you said that the Shadow Pavilion will not play tricks on people, so you sent out well-trained killers from the seventh level of the Dan formation to lie in ambush in the dark to kill a person who has just broken through the fourth level of the Dan formation. Can a person who has only recently risen to the top still fail a mission?"
Mu Qingdu put the question to the other party, "You said that, you should think carefully about the target you want to solve. Why can you defeat the killer repeatedly? Is there any concealment of our information that leads to the failure of the mission?"
"How is that possible? He was once a loser!"
"Do you think it's possible for a loser to reach the fourth level of alchemy in such a short period of time?" Mu Qingdu sat aside and took a slow sip of tea with a pleasant smile on his lips, "And everyone sent out is better than him. None of the assassins came back, and I remember that with the strength of the backer in the foundation-building stage, it was impossible for him to survive. Did he really awaken inside?"
He explained everything one by one in a slow tone, and Liu Minghua's anger gradually disappeared and he analyzed calmly.
It is indeed incredible to think of all the changes that Qi Mingchen has undergone before.
Reality sent Liu Zi out, and Liu Zi died in a strange way. It didn't look like he failed in a fight, but more like he was killed.
Later, he secretly colluded with the elders of the Punishment Pavilion, causing Qi Mingchen to receive the most severe punishment, being whipped seven times and thrown into the back mountain.
As a result, one month later, not only did he survive to reach the quota competition, but he also defeated everyone and broke through to the third level of pill formation with his strength at the second level of pill formation.
My own brother...
It became especially strange after that battle, as if he was afraid of Qi Mingchen.
Everything that happened after that, including the failure of the assassin sent to form the seventh level of the pill formation, almost confirmed one thing!
"Is someone secretly helping him?"
Mu Qingdu nodded, "This is very likely. It's possible that he got some opportunities before, which led to our frequent failures."
"So let's forget it?" Liu Minghua was not reconciled to why that loser always had someone to help him. Without his master, there were still others showing up.
Why couldn't he and his brother get such an opportunity!
Mu Qingdu stretched out his index finger and shook it, stood up and said: "Of course I won't let it go like this. Being unable to kill a person in the middle stage of pill formation will also have an impact on the reputation of our Shadow Pavilion, so I will personally take action this time .”
"You?" Liu Minghua looked at this man who was younger than himself and looked very unreliable. "What is your strength?"
"Me?" Mu Qingdu pointed at himself, "I am the master of this branch of the Shadow Pavilion. What kind of strength do you think it is?"
"Pavilion Master!"
Liu Minghua took two steps back and looked at the man in front of him who was still picking his nose in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that such a person was actually the master of the pavilion?
"You actually entertained people yourself?"
"I'm bored. As a pavilion master, I usually don't have much assassination work, so I'm here to see how ugly you are."
...Liu Minghua had blue veins popping up on his forehead. Faced with such rude words from this man, he could bear it no matter how angry he was.
After all, he is the Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion. Even if he is only the sub-pavilion master, he should not be underestimated. He should at least have reached the middle stage of acquired strength, and may even be in the late stage. In that case, even if Qi Mingchen has great ability, he will definitely die.
"You have to take action yourself, but the reward..."
At this price, it is estimated that even if he sells him, he will not be able to buy it and let someone buy it later.
"It doesn't cost money. I'm just very interested in that person. I plan to meet him. After I understand his secret, I will solve him..."
Liu Minghua looked at the pavilion master's eyes and shuddered inexplicably. He always felt that there were dangerous emotions hidden in his eyes.
Like looking at prey.
"In this way, you shouldn't blame our Shadow Pavilion for the problem, but remember to pay the balance."
Liu Minghua thought of the assassin he hired at the seventh level of Danjie. In the gambling agreement, a large part of the money was not paid.
"But, the killer didn't..."
"Qi Mingchen is bound to die. If you don't want him to die, then you don't have to pay the remaining money." Mu Qingdu bit the split on his fingernail and said in a vague voice.
"No, I will find a way to raise money. Please be sure to get rid of him completely!" Liu Minghua didn't care about money anymore.
Qi Mingchen's fate has become his inner demon. If he doesn't deal with it, he may go crazy like before at any time.
So try it no matter what the cost.
But before that, he had to try to solve Qi Mingchen by himself. If he could kill him on his own, not only would he not have to pay a large amount of spirit stones, but he would also be able to eliminate his inner demons and get the money returned after the Shadow Pavilion mission failed. deposit.
Thinking of this, Liu Minghua left the Shadow Pavilion with satisfaction.
…
Qi Mingchen came to a mansion and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Liu Mingxiao's voice sounded, and he rubbed his eyes and opened the door, looking like he had just woken up.
But when he saw the person clearly, his whole body trembled, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
"Senior Brother Qi...Qi?!" The tone of his voice changed. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he said, "Why are you here? Do you have anything to do with me?"
He didn't want to hear that Qi Mingchen was looking for his brother, so he asked.
"No, I'm here to see your brother."
"He's not here!" Liu Mingxiao said immediately, "He's not here. If you have anything to tell me, I'll tell you!"
Qi Mingchen smiled and said, "In that case, let me ask you some questions..."
"What...what's the problem?" Liu Mingxiao swallowed and asked with difficulty.
"Has your brother made any other moves against me recently?"
Liu Mingxiao shook his head wildly, "I don't know. Ever since I started to persuade him to give up, my brother basically didn't say anything to me. I only know that he is about to break through the eighth level of the core formation."
Qi Mingchen frowned when he heard this. He still had confidence in facing someone at the seventh level of Dan Formation, but if this person broke through to the eighth level, he would not be so easy to deal with.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Do you know where your brother went?"
Liu Mingxiao hesitated for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "My brother went to Shadow Pavilion!"
He saw the other person's expression in his eyes and nodded, "In that case, I'll leave first."
He still knows the location of the Shadow Pavilion very well. Since he can send two assassins to block him on the road he must pass, let him return in this way.
We must not give this person a chance to break through the eighth level of the core formation!
If he wanted to hide his identity and leave the sect, Liu Minghua would definitely go to the woods at the foot of the mountain. This was a trail the two of them discovered when he was still in the inner sect and had a good relationship with him, and it was also a secret that belonged to them alone.
Therefore, based on his understanding, Liu Minghua would definitely take this path when going to Shadow Pavilion.
Soon, he came to this road in the night. He had not been here for several years, and it gave him a familiar yet strange feeling.
Recalling every bit of the past, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.
Pick up the wine from your waist and drink it bit by bit.
He used to be ignorant about everything, trusting his father who brought him to the sect, trusting his kind and gentle senior brother, and trusting the senior sect officials who treated him enthusiastically when he reached the peak of foundation building.
He once considered this place his home, the place he trusted most...
The good things in those memories turned into gentle blades at this moment, piercing his heart bit by bit, choking his breathing.
"What's the use of thinking about all this?"
He took the last sip of wine and saw a familiar figure appearing not far away.
Liu Minghua!
Even with his face covered, Qi Mingchen could recognize him at a glance.
He bent down, picked up a stone on the ground, covered it with spiritual power, and threw it out.
The stone hit the opponent almost straight, and Liu Minghua didn't even have time to react before he was hit directly in the stomach.
"Who?" Liu Minghua said angrily, clutching his stomach. How could there be such an arrogant person within the sect who dared to take action against the inner disciples? He completely forgot that his face was covered and his identity was completely hidden.
Fortunately, the force of this attack was not fatal, but there were some hidden wounds on the abdomen.
Qi Mingchen looked at the other party's appearance, thought of something, and said seriously: "Who are you? Why do you look like this? Are you a spy sent by another sect?"
After Liu Minghua saw the attacker clearly, his eyes widened. He didn't expect that the person he was thinking about was right in front of him, in such a remote place in the sect.
Then, he smiled and thought: No matter who was secretly helping, they would not have expected to meet me here. Since they bumped into me here, they can't blame me.
"Too simple." Liu Minghua whispered, and circulated his spiritual power throughout his body, launching a fatal attack.
Just treat it as if you have encountered an intruder that cannot be dealt with, poor junior brother!
Qi Mingchen pretended to be frightened and took two steps back, exclaiming, "Late stage of pill formation!"
He took out the dagger hidden in his waist, blocked the attack, and pretended to be invincible. He was knocked back and took a few steps back, then turned around and ran away.
Naturally, Liu Minghua couldn't just watch his prey run away, so he quickly chased after him.
Because of the huge disparity in strength, Qi Mingchen was soon caught up. He said righteously: "No matter who you are, if you dare to invade here, the Canglong Sect will never let you go!"
Liu Minghua sneered. He didn't know whether the Canglong Sect would let him go, but this junior brother was definitely going to die!
Thinking of this, he became even more excited. I wonder if it was an illusion, but his spiritual power seemed to have become stronger.
Waving his fist, Liu Minghua felt excitedly that the fatal attack was getting closer and closer to the opponent. Getting closer!
"Die!"
