Chapter 2328 desperate
"Everyone, you all use your spiritual sense to search the surroundings first. If you don't find it, you will search and search secretly along the area you are responsible for. I guess the target is to get the news in advance or notice something strange, either not coming or have left after coming."
Ma Zhijian ordered that he secretly sneak towards the mountains and forests behind him.
After all, this Linglong Market is not very far away from Qizhen Pavilion. First, they cannot use their spiritual sense extensively, and second, they cannot make a little noise during searching, and they should not search far away.
Letting the team do this now is just a lucky mentality.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, he asked these seven people one by one, and the other party's answers were the same: no target person was found.
"Okay, evacuate and go to the agreed location." Ma Zhijian directly issued an order.
The place is only twenty miles away from Linglong Market. After arriving, before Ma Zhijian could not help but ask questions before a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Lingzong could not help but ask.
"Elder Ma, are we just evacuated like this? If the target did not realize the danger, it was just because of personal reasons and could not arrive on time at midnight? Should we wait a little longer?"
Ma Zhijian had long expected someone to raise this question, but he was not angry. He shook his head and said, "There is no need. The action plan we have obtained is very detailed. Sect Master Guo believes in the content on the stone tablet and believes that the target will appear in Linglong Market at midnight. We only need to do things according to the rules and cannot make a decision. Otherwise, act rashly under the nose of Qizhen Pavilion General Pavilion, which may cause trouble to the sect."
Then he added, "What's more, we've already alerted the enemy before, so there's no need to waste time, just evacuate."
The Ling Sect sent eight Nascent Soul monks to capture the target, which shows how determined he is to capture this person. Ma Zhijian is very clear about this, but he didn't wait for the opportunity tonight, and it would be useless if he was unwilling to accept it.
After the content on the stone tablet was introduced to the Ling Sect, the sect leader contacted them and told them what was going on. He also knew. A monk from Qizhen Pavilion revealed to the Xiaotan Sect that he found the murderer who killed Yin Jie and snatched the Sumeru Stone. The murderer was a Nascent Soul monk from Qizhen Pavilion and targeted the person who reported it. As for why the murderer had to deal with the person who reported it, the other party did not write it out in the content on the stone tablet, but the other party was confident in the dialect that the murderer would appear in Linglong Market at midnight tonight.
It was precisely because the murderer took the Sumeru Stone and Lingzong wanted this Sumeru Stone, so after Xiaotan Sect reported the situation to Lingzong, the sect leader Guo Qunqi directly arranged the operation.
As long as you can catch the murderer, you will have an explanation to Xiaotan Sect, and the Sumeru Stone will naturally belong to Ling Sect.
Even if the murderer appears, the main hall of Qizhen Pavilion is very close to the Qizhen Pavilion, the sect leader wants them to carry out their actions. He is indeed determined to win the Sumeru Stone.
Now that the action is gone, the sect leader must be disappointed when he knows it, but this is reality, there is nothing he can do about it.
Ma Zhijian continued: "Let's leave first to avoid conflicts with the people in Qizhen Pavilion. I will report the situation here to the sect leader."
The man who raised the doubt nodded and could only agree, after all, every sentence Elder Ma said was reasonable.
The eight people quickly left, left Linglong Market and stopped, and were about to part ways.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, thank you for your hard work." Ma Zhijian came to Wang Lun and continued, "Fellow Daoist back to the sect, remember to come to me, let's have a drink and have a good chat."
Ma Zhijian became the leader of the team after he came here. In other words, everyone was ordered by the sect leader, and then they arrived at the same place. He only had the power to give orders to the other seven people during the action. Now that the mission is over, he can no longer talk to Wang Lun as a boss.
He took the initiative to say a good thing and invited the other party to drink, so he was naturally polite. Unlike Tang Xingqiu, Tang Xingqiu was full of resentment towards Wang Lun. Through Tang Xingqiu's experience, he felt that there was no need to make enemies with Wang Lun, nor was there any need to win over Wang Lun, and he had a neutral attitude.
"Okay, no problem." Wang Lun also responded politely.
Ma Zhijian knew that Wang Lun was on vacation now and the mission was over. The other party could go anywhere. It was not his turn to arrange it, so he smiled at the other party and said goodbye and left.
Wang Lun greeted several other people he knew, left in one direction in the forest, and after a period of sneaking, he quietly arrived at the peak where Hou Xiaowu was hiding.
The one who stuns the other person is naturally himself.
Bang.
At the top of the peak, Wang Lun emitted a magic power, which made Hou Xiaowu wake up from pain. Wang Lun didn't speak and just looked down at the other party.
"King...Winner Wang?"
When Hou Xiaowu saw the person in front of him, he recognized him, and was filled with fear in his heart. He was in a panic and hurriedly got up and said as if he was in fear: "Real person, I have some trouble temporarily..."
Bang.
Wang Lun slashed out with a palm, broke several ribs of the other party, and looked at Hou Xiaowu coldly: "Say it again."
"I..." Hou Xiaowu didn't dare to say that there was still hope.
"I was the one who knocked you out. I know why I didn't appear in Linglong Market at midnight? You think well, and you dare to use it to kill someone with a knife?" Wang Lun sneered.
Hou Xiaowu immediately understood, the other party knew everything!
"Real person forgives the sin! He deserves to die!"
Hou Xiaowu fell to the ground directly, and his head began to kowtow to the ground with great force, and his head kept knocking.
"Tell me what you did." Wang Lun asked.
Hou Xiaowu didn't understand why the other party asked for this, but he knew one thing that the other party was not furious and did not kill him directly, so he certainly could not disobey the other party's wishes and act according to the other party's wishes, and perhaps he could still save his life.
So Hou Xiaowu told him everything he had done.
The abdomen was very painful, the ribs were broken, and blood stasis remained inside, but the pain was not as good as the nervousness at this moment. Hou Xiaowu was so scared that he was even trembling.
"Then you can definitely guess why I knew about your plan to borrow a knife to kill someone in advance?" Wang Lun asked back.
Hou Xiaowu nodded and really understood.
The other party was not fooled at all, but instead found himself directly, indicating that he had informed Xiaotan Sect and Ling Sect before today. The other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator from Qizhen Pavilion, but he knew about the extraordinary things about Ling Sect. It was obvious that there were strong people in the Ling Sect who knew about this and told the other party!
Continue to speculate, it is not difficult to infer that the strong man in the Ling Sect should also be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Only those with such status can know the extraordinary things about the Ling Sect.
Even, that person helped "Wang Zhenren" in time, that person
His identity may be a monk from Qizhen Pavilion hidden in the Lingzong!
"Oh, this time it's all over." Hou Xiaowu sighed in his heart.
No matter what relationship is with that person and "Zhengren Wang", it is meaningless to be entangled in the face of "Zhengren Wang" to gain vitality. He should only do now.
Hou Xiaowu continued to kneel on the ground, lowered his head and said, "I beg the real person to give me another chance."
"Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Although Wang Lun asked, he did not mean to ask the other party to answer. He said directly, "If I don't kill you now, your situation is not much better than death. After all, in order to deal with the cultivators of the same sect, you will be informed by other sects. Just this one is passed to the sect, and you will die tragically, not to mention that you have not succeeded in reporting and offending Ling Sect. Ling Sect will only think that you have played with them. Once you have confirmed your identity, you will still die tragically."
"I know, I know." Hou Xiaowu nodded desperately.
"What do you know?" Wang Lun asked back, waiting for the other party to say the words.
Hou Xiaowu continued to lower his head, knocked his head against the ground, and crawled out: "Will the things I did come to the sect? Will my identity be known by the Lingzong? It depends entirely on the real person's wishes. If you want me to die, you don't need to take action directly."
He really understood that he really had a huge handle and was caught by the other party!
Before tonight, he was coerced by the other party, who deliberately gave him the handle. The handle he held was: he knew that the other party was the murderer who killed Yin Jie and grabbed the Sumeru Stone.
But now, after his handle was caught by the other party, the situation was completely different.
Because the handle he held was not worth enough, the other party's identity was in a fog, and he had no idea.
The handle held by the other party was very important because his identity was exposed!
In other words, his life is now completely controlled by the other party. If he doesn't want to die, he can only obey the other party!
"What are you going to do?" the other party asked him coldly, and his voice came into his ears.
Hou Xiaowu immediately nodded and said, "Real person, from now on, my life is true. I will do whatever the real person asks me to do. I will never dare to go west when I go east."
"Don't think about guessing my identity, and then hold my handle to get out?" Wang Lun sneered.
Hou Xiaowu shook his head desperately: "I dare not, I will never dare to do this, nor can I do it."
He really couldn't guess the other party's identity. If he could guess, he would talk about it. He would have written the other party's name on the stone tablet long ago, allowing the strong people of Lingzong to lock on the other party.
Of course, he had not done this before. After all, there were only a few Nascent Soul monks in Qizhen Pavilion, and half of them were staying in time and space city and other places. However, the other party had already considered this and his identity was kept secret. He could only lock in the level of seven or eight Nascent Soul monks at most, and he could not further narrow it.
So it was impossible to do it before, but now it is also impossible to do it. The other party is not stupid and will not leave such a flaw to give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Submit to me?" Wang Lun asked.
At this moment, the matter of conquering the other party can be considered to be over. He has forced the other party to the point of desperate situation, and the other party can only obey him.
Chapter completed!
