No. 175, all credits go to hard work

  Lightning struck and cut off the power line, causing a blackout in several villages around here. Sorry about that. There will be two updates today and four tomorrow.

  "It's really strange, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Hong and Zhao Feiyang have died suddenly. It seems that I've missed a lot of things in this month." Qi Feng sighed, but didn't dare to make any noise, because there were powerful guards in this place, and every now and then, a wave of Yuan Shen's power would sweep by, and if one was slightly careless, they would be discovered.

  But just as he was waiting for the right moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight. It was a slender black-clad person who seemed to be a 'female'.

  This 'girl' seemed to be very familiar with the situation here, and after a few flashes, she slipped into the Wang City. Every time her primordial spirit scanned over, she could predict in advance and then use special treasures to conceal her breath.

  And so, he soon entered into that building.

  Qī Fēng was somewhat curious about his identity and also wanted to see what he was up to, so he tried his best to restrain himself and followed closely behind.

  Before long, Qi Feng followed the man in black to a house and saw him take out a bamboo tube and blow air through the gap of the door.

  After about two minutes, she took out a dagger and quietly opened the door of the house. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, she jumped in.

  He had barely entered when he rushed out of it with someone in his arms, without any stay, and ran straight to the outskirts of the city.

  "What is this guy doing?" Qi Feng felt a bit strange, but still followed him. This time, she actually jumped directly into a dry well.

  After Zifeng jumped into the dry well, she completely lost her figure, and even her primordial spirit couldn't be locked on.

  Qī Fēng smoothed out his hair, then followed and jumped down as well. He felt that following this black-clothed person might bring some gains.

  He soon discovered that the dry well actually hid a secret passage, and he didn't know where it led to. At this point, Qi Feng couldn't care less about anything else, so he immediately released Yun Kong and let him lead the way, while he followed closely behind.

  This secret passage doesn't have any traps, but the entire passageway is made of a type of stone that can isolate spiritual consciousness, and it's also very long, enough to leave the royal city.

  Before long, Qi Feng arrived at the end of the passage, but he didn't find an exit, and that black-clothed person also lost his trace.

  "Master, could it be up there?" Yun Kong tentatively pushed the stone slab on top of his head, and finally when he pushed the last one, a faint light actually 'shot' in.

  Yun Kong carefully pushed it open and jumped out after finding no danger, followed closely by Qi Feng.

  They carefully identified it and found that they were already outside the Great Desolate King City, but the black-clothed man had disappeared without a trace.

  "Empty cloud, is there any way to find that man in black?" Qi Feng found that what was missing was not only the man in black, but also his aura.

  "I can, I have a treasure that can track down the scent of people. That black-clothed person may have a secret treasure to erase his aura, but he can't erase the smell as well. It's just that we don't have the source of the smell..." Before he finished speaking, Qi Feng pointed at the black cloth strip on the branch of the tree beside them, obviously left behind by the black-clothed person.

  "It's truly a case of 'after searching everywhere, it was found effortlessly'..."

  "Cut the crap and get to work!" Qi Feng interrupted him, what's with all the nonsense at a time like this.

  "Yes!" Yun Kong responded with a sound, and immediately took out a white round ball. The round ball had two holes on it, looking just like nostrils.

  Afterwards, Yun Kong put the two holes on this sphere facing the cloth strip. This thing actually sniffed it, and after a while, it automatically flew up and flew in one direction.

  "The master is following him," Yun Kong said.

  "Alright, remember to erase our tracks as well." Qi Feng saw that the black-clothed man was being so cautious, obviously afraid of being discovered. This meant that the person he had stolen was very likely an important figure.

  So he can't be careless either, like taking the blame for someone else's mistakes, that's something he doesn't want to do.

  "Yes." Yun Kong responded with a single word and stayed behind, while Qi Feng took the lead and followed that white round ball, which was easy to recognize in the dark night.

  After a long while, he was led by this thing into a bamboo forest, and its speed suddenly slowed down, refusing to move.

  Zi Feng didn't find it strange because he had already sensed the aura of that man in black right here.

  Then Qifeng hastily reined in his breath and followed the black-clad man's breath to a bamboo hut, where he could see inside through the window.

  "It's Zhao Xuan!" Qi Feng saw a person standing inside, and that person was none other than Zhao Xuan, with whom he had fought once before.

  Then he took another look and found that the one she had brought was actually the night charm he wanted to capture this time when he sneaked into the Great Desolate King City.

  "What is she going to do?" Qi Feng didn't understand why Zhao Xuan wanted to bring Ye Mei out, but he wasn't in a hurry either. He stood on top of the bamboo and merged with it, quietly watching the situation inside the house.

  Just then, Zhao Xuan moved. She picked up a bowl of water and splashed it directly onto Ye Mei's charming little face. Only then did Ye Mei slowly wake up.

  It wasn't until a while later that she came to, and it was clear that Zhao Xuan had just used an extremely potent 'medicine', or else it wouldn't have been possible for a cultivator like her to become so disoriented.

  "What is this place?" Ye Mei was a bit dazed at the moment, only feeling that this was not her room, and had not yet noticed Zhao Xuan beside her.

  "This is where you will meet your end." Zhao Xuan's icy voice rang out, immediately snapping Ye Mei awake, and she looked in Zhao Xuan's direction.

  "It's you!" After seeing Zhao Xuan clearly, Ye Mei was also startled and wanted to struggle free, but found that her body had been tied up with a rope. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

  "Don't waste your energy, this is nurtured by my father's blood, it's extremely tough, let alone you, even if it were your brother, it would be hard to open. Zhao Xuan's icy voice came over, immediately making Ye Mei shiver, asking: "What's the purpose of bringing me here?"

  "I have two questions for you, and if you answer them truthfully, I will spare your life." Zhao Xuan replied.

  "What's wrong?" The woman asked back with a flicker of her eyes.

  "How did my father and eldest brother die?" Zhao Xuan didn't believe that his father and eldest brother would suddenly drop dead, after all they were top-notch experts, especially his father, how could he possibly drop dead.

  So she suspected that it was her second brother and Ye Kuang who were behind the scenes, because before her father's accident, she had seen Zhao Longyue and Ye Kuang getting close.

  But whether this was true or not she wasn't clear about, so she needed to ask Ye Mei clearly about this point, and also to confirm who her enemy really was.

  "So that's what it was about!" Ye Mei pretended to let out a sigh of relief, then said: "This matter isn't any secret, I can tell you, it was your second brother who did it. His ambition is vast and he won't be content with being below your older brother, this point you should be very clear about."

  "You seem to have left out one person, shouldn't your brother also be involved in this matter?" Zhao Xuan asked sternly.

  "My brother was not involved in it..."

  "Alright, since you don't want to tell the truth, I no longer have a need for you. As for who killed my father, I will investigate until the truth is revealed." With that, Zhao Xuan walked towards Ye Hui, and somehow, a sword appeared in her hand, while a cold-blooded intent flashed in her eyes.

  "Spare me, don't kill me, I'll talk." Ye Mei was startled by Zhao Xuan's reaction and hastily shouted.

  "It's okay, I already know the result." Zhao Xuan saw her reaction and immediately understood that his previous guess was correct, so there was no need for Ye Ni to stay any longer.

  "No, you can't kill me. I am a princess of the Demon Clan. You are just my subordinates. Killing me would be treason..."

  "Do you think I care about these things?" Zhao Xuan sneered, his long sword slowly rising in his hand, and then directly stabbed at her heart.

  "Don't..." Night Elegance closed her eyes, she didn't think that she would actually die at the hands of a human.

  She was a princess of the demon clan, with an unattainable status. Who would dare say something that displeased her? But now she's going to die, in this place she once despised, and in such a miserable way.

  But just at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and Zhao Xuan found that her long sword suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to advance another inch.

  Along her long sword, only two fingers were seen holding her sword in place, as if there was infinite power, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge.

  "It's you." Zhao Xuan exclaimed as he clearly saw Qi Feng's appearance.

  "It's really her." Qi Feng smiled and let go of his hand, then said: "This girl is still useful to me, I wonder if Miss Zhao can give her to me?"

  "What do you want her to do?" Zhao Xuan furrowed his brow and asked strangely.

  "Go to the Demon Clan." Qi Feng didn't conceal it either, because Zhao Xuan and Ye Kuang had a grudge against them, they definitely wouldn't tell them about this matter. Moreover, he also felt some sympathy for this little girl.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much to this girl and would have taken Ye Mei away directly.

  "Do you know she's a demon?" Zhao Xuan was startled by Qi Feng's words, after all, she didn't know that she and Ye Kuang were demons until her father told her later.

  Looking at Qi Feng's appearance, it seemed as if he had known they were demons all along, which made her a bit puzzled.

  "It's not just that I know them, I've even 'crossed hands' with them a few times... No good, they're after us!" Qi Feng suddenly received Yun Kong's warning and immediately turned around to pick up Ye Mei. Then, he pried open her hand and found a purple jade token inside.

  "The little girl actually has some brains." Qi Feng glared at her for a moment, then tossed the 'jade' token aside and looked at Zhao Xuan, who nodded understandingly and immediately took out three more 'jade' tokens, tossing two to Qi Feng before pushing open the window and jumping out.

  Qī Fēng took over the 'Yu' symbol, and immediately knew it was a type of Introspection Treasure. Without saying another word, under Yè Mèi's angry gaze, he stuffed one into the cleavage in front of Yè Mèi's chest, then put another at his own waist, turned around and also jumped out of the window.
