C118 An Expert in Disguise
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia already knew that there were several maps of Heavenly Nether Secret Cave in the Thousand Searching Sect. However, none of the maps were detailed. The value of this map... Du Qingluo gave it to them without saying anything!
"Yudia, this Heavenly Nether Secret Cave has a circumference of a thousand miles. There are countless places with abundant medicinal herbs. It is really a treasure vault!"
Carefully looking at the map, Qi Zhuohao could not help but sigh. If it was not for the fact that the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave only opened once for seven days, he would really want to explore the entire Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. How many Medicinal Ore would he need to collect? If he was lucky, he might even encounter some precious Heavenly Material!
Nan Yudia rolled her eyes at Qi Zhuohao and said, "This is natural. A place like a mystic realm is not something that can be found anywhere."
Changing the topic, Nan Yudia continued, "Zhuohao, because of the time, it is impossible for us to wander around the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave to gather Medicinal Ore. With this map, we can easily avoid many dangerous places. Head straight to the forbidden area in the north. "
"En, seven days should be enough for us to find the Poison Scripture. It's just that Yudia, the restricted region is extremely dangerous. I think I should go in alone! You don't have to go in. Just wait for me outside when the time comes. "
Qi Zhuohao nodded his head. His tone was extremely serious. Even though Nan Yudia had the Defensive Ground Weapon protecting her body, however, a low grade Defensive Ground Weapon could not block the attack of a spirit beast. Since they were going to take the risk... Then let him go alone and bring Nan Yudia along. It would only drag him down instead.
Nan Yudia's heart was very warm, but her face instantly sank. She said angrily, "Zhuohao, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to leave me alone to take the risk. If that is the case, I would rather not have the Poison Scripture. We live and die together. No one is allowed to leave anyone behind. "
Nan Yudia could not watch Qi Zhuohao take the risk alone in order to help her find the Poison Scripture. When the two of them were together, they would at least look after each other. The more people there were, the more powerful they would be, wouldn't they?
"Yudia, I have no intention of leaving you behind. Never mind, let's not talk about this first. We will talk about it later..."
Early the next morning, Qi Zhuohao and the other three acted as usual. They sat together with Du Qingluo, Jiang Mengyuan and Yang Yuanqiao to eat. Suddenly... Qi Zhuohao's eyes stopped on a maid who was serving the dishes. His heart was filled with worry. He was shocked and nervous!
Qi Zhuohao had seen this servant girl yesterday, but he was sure that... This maid who looked almost exactly the same as yesterday was an expert in disguise. He wondered what kind of Medicinal Pill she had consumed. Even her realm was concealed at the ninth level of the Spirit Acceptance Stage.
After Luh Shisan left the Sunset Hall, Qi Zhuohao only needed to see the guards and maids in the Sunset Hall. Under his Spiritual Sense... An expert in disguise had nowhere to hide. He didn't expect that his and Luh Shisan's guess would come true.
Within Qi Zhuohao's Spiritual Sense, the true appearance of this servant girl was crystal clear. In fact, he was a middle-aged man in his forties. His expression was unusually calm. There wasn't a trace of nervousness on his face. Obviously, he was very confident in his disguise technique.
Qi Zhuohao remained silent and secretly used the Spiritual Sense to monitor the movements of the maidservants. After the maidservants poured a bowl of hot water for them, Qi Zhuohao suddenly stood up and said, "Three Peak Lord, allow me to relieve myself first."
The servant girl's expression suddenly changed, and then returned to normal. When Du Qingluo and the others who were about to drink the soup heard Qi Zhuohao's words, they could not help but put down their hands. To say such words while eating, Qi Zhuohao was too dishonest.
Qi Zhuohao did not pay attention to the looks in Du Qingluo and the others' eyes. He walked quickly out of the dining table. The reason he said such disgusting words was to make Du Qingluo and the others not touch the bowl of soup. He suspected that the soup was poisonous!
Not long after, Qi Zhuohao returned to the living room. When he passed by the maid naturally, he suddenly moved. The Hot Flame Palm, which contained his heartforce, hit the maid's back at lightning speed.
The maid's body rolled and flew out of the dining table, turning the dining table into a mess. The soup in the seven bowls sprinkled on the ground, emitting white mist and bubbles. Qi Zhuohao felt a lingering fear. This fellow had indeed poisoned his target. It was not Qi Zhuohao himself, but everyone present!
Blood flowed out of the maid's mouth. She stood up and stared at Qi Zhuohao in a sorry state. Her eyes were filled with confusion and shock. How did Qi Zhuohao discover him? Furthermore, why did Qi Zhuohao know that he poisoned the soup?
Thinking about it, the maid quickly understood. It shouldn't be Qi Zhuohao who found out about him, but his every move was under the control of Qi Zhuohao and his group. In other words, there was a spy from the Afterglow Peak by Zhu Tianrong's side.
At this moment, Du Qingluo and the others finally reacted. Du Qingluo, who was about to question Qi Zhuohao, looked at the maid with a gloomy expression. Her eyes were burning with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly, ready to launch a fatal strike at the maid at any time.
Du Qingluo and the others were not fools. The soup was poisonous. If it wasn't for Qi Zhuohao, they would have most likely been plotted against. The servant girl who had followed her for many years had actually rebelled. This was the most intolerable thing that Du Qingluo could not tolerate.
"Poison Peak Lord, this person is not your servant girl, but an expert in disguise? I'm afraid that your maid is already dead!"
When Qi Zhuohao's words came out, Du Qingluo and the others were shocked. Everyone stared at the maid, and the killing intent in their eyes intensified. Shen Ba actually sent an expert in disguise to ambush them. This had exceeded their expectations.
"Truly powerful! Your information is truly amazing. You actually found out that I had disguised myself and sneaked into the Afterglow Peak."
The maid's voice was a man's voice, and it was a bit hoarse. As soon as she finished speaking, the aura around his body surged, and he instantly returned to his original appearance. His realm had also risen from the ninth level of the Spirit Acceptance Stage to the sixth level of the Huayuan Realm.
"You really are an expert in disguise. Tell me, who are you? And who sent you here? "
Yang Yuanqiao's voice had yet to fade when he already took out an Earth Soldier Spear and flew to block the door. They nearly fell into the hands of this spy. This spy must die today!
Similarly, Du Qingluo and Jiang Mengyuan also took out their artifacts and surrounded the expert in disguise in the middle. The three of them were in a higher realm than the expert in disguise, so the expert in disguise would not be able to escape even if they had wings.
Furthermore, after being hit by Qi Zhuohao's Hot Flame Palm, the expert in disguise had been injured. With the current situation, it was impossible for him to escape!
As if he had understood his situation, the expert in disguise burst into laughter. After that, he coldly swept his eyes across Qi Zhuohao and the others and said, "Who am I? You don't need to know this. Who sent me here? Don't you know this in your hearts? "
" Since you already knew I would come, why put on an act? I've lost, but it's impossible for you to get any information from me. "
As the voice of the expert in disguise fell, black blood suddenly flowed out from his mouth and nose, and his body instantly fell to the ground.
This sudden turn of events made Qi Zhuohao feel helpless and regretful. The expert in disguise actually took poison and committed suicide. Originally, he wanted to use the expert in disguise to force Zhu Tianrong and the others to start a rebellion. So that he could use the Thousand Searching Sect to get rid of Zhu Tianrong. But now, it seemed like... He had thought too much.
Not only was this man an expert in disguise, he was also a fearless assassin and death warrior. Seeing that the situation was not right, he decisively committed suicide, not giving Qi Zhuohao and the others any chance. It was impossible for them to get any information from this man.
It could be said that this expert in disguise had died mysteriously. Until his death, he had always thought that there was a spy by Zhu Tianrong's side. He had never thought that Qi Zhuohao had the Spiritual Sense. It was Zhu Tianrong's negligence that had harmed him.
Zhu Tianrong should know about Qi Zhuohao's possession of the Spiritual Sense. It was impossible for him to deliberately frame an expert in disguise. As the saying goes, a wise man would make a mistake every time he thought about it. This was the logic. A small negligence would completely change the situation!
"Qi Zhuohao, it's all thanks to you this time. By the way, how did you know that this person is a master in disguise?"
Moving her gaze away from the corpse on the ground, Jiang Mengyuan sighed. Then, she looked at Qi Zhuohao and asked in confusion. At this moment, she still did not think that Qi Zhuohao had the Spiritual Sense, let alone Zhu Tianrong at that time.
"Junior disciple Jiang, there's no need to ask. Qi Zhuohao has the Spiritual Sense, and a master in disguise is nothing in front of him."
Yang Yuanqiao's words could be considered as answering Jiang Mengyuan's question on behalf of Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao said. He said, "Yang Peak Lord is right, in case there are spies who want to sneak into Sunset Hall. These two days, I have been using the Spiritual Sense to scan the surrounding guards and maids... "
Qi Zhuohao's words were half true and half false. In short, he would never tell anyone about Luh Shisan. The fact that he had the Spiritual Sense was not a secret in the Thousand Searching Sect.
"What a pity. If only I could get some information from him. Perhaps we can force Shen Ba's side to make a move in advance." Du Qingluo sighed. Compared to defending with fear all day long, she hoped to have a good fight with Shen Ba and the others.
Until now, Du Qingluo and the others still thought that the expert in disguise was sent by Shen Ba. They had never thought that it would be Zhu Tianrong. Regarding this, Qi Zhuohao was too lazy to say anything. This was exactly what he wanted.
"En, after being messed with by this guy, I have lost my appetite for food. Alright, let's go back to our rooms and rest!"
Yang Yuanqiao said and left. Seeing this, Jiang Mengyuan, Shen Ji and the others also left.
"Zhuohao, Yudia, it seems that the protection of Afterglow Peak is still very lax. You guys go back and rest too. I will go and make arrangements." As soon as she finished speaking, Du Qingluo arranged for the guards to deal with the corpse of the expert in disguise. Then, she left Sunset Hall alone.
Du Qingluo was very angry. The opponent had even sent out an expert in disguise. It was indeed time to reorganize the defense work of Afterglow Peak. Perhaps Shen Ba's side would use other tricks to sneak into Afterglow Peak. She had no choice but to guard against it!
"Zhuohao, that expert in disguise was sent by Zhu Tianrong. It wasn't sent by Shen Ba. Am I right? "
In the room, Nan Yudia asked calmly. She knew that the reason Luh Shisan came to find Qi Zhuohao yesterday was definitely to tell him that an expert in disguise would sneak into Sunset Hall and assassinate them. Although Qi Zhuohao had the Spiritual Sense, he would not release it at all times. After all, using the Spiritual Sense would consume the Spiritual Sense.
"En. Zhu Tianrong went to find Luh Shisan and asked him to steal a set of clothes from a servant girl from Sunset Hall and send it over. At that time, we were thinking that Zhu Tianrong might send an expert who practiced the disguising technique to assassinate him. Therefore, I secretly paid attention to the movements of the guards and maids. This time, Luh Shisan has really helped us a lot. "
Qi Zhuohao did not need to hide anything from Nan Yudia. What he said was the truth. If it wasn't for Luh Shisan this time, they would have most likely died. Not a single martial artist would constantly use Spiritual Sense to observe others. No martial artist would be so careful! But, knowing the location of the operation ahead of time was another matter altogether...
