"Richie, it's time. Roy, who was sitting quietly on the side, said suddenly.

Hearing this, Li Qi slowly opened his eyes and came back to his senses from his cultivation state.

Five hours had passed since he had begun to enter the cultivation state, and the night outside the window was getting darker and darker.

He groaned, after some cultivation just now, he was more proficient in refining the skills of Wu Yuan, and the time for refining ten times of Wu Yuan was reduced by ten seconds, but there was still a big distance from the twenty seconds prescribed by Senior Sister Luo Yi to refine ten Wu Yuan.

"It's almost moonless, let's go. Roy instructed, and the spirit turned into a puff of green smoke and drifted into Richie's body.

Richie nodded, put on his black cloak and mask, and jumped out of the window, plunging headlong into the deep night.

Sure enough, as the leopard said, the moonlight tonight was unusually bleak, windless, and the gray clouds did not disperse for a long time, covering the sky and the moon.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high...... I don't know if I can find what I'm looking for at the top of this Dragon City?" Li Qi muttered to himself as he ran.

Although the central district of Weilong City is more prosperous than other districts, it is not as good as a city that never sleeps like Dongguang City, and there are many dark corners.

He climbed to the top of a five-story building and looked into the distance, looking for the highest point in Weilong City.

There were tall buildings in the distance, but because of the dim lighting, it was difficult for Li Qi to tell which building was the tallest or if there was no tallest place at all.

Li Qi closed his eyes and stared, and when he opened his eyes again, a faint red light appeared in his pupils, and he activated his heart eye.

"Look southeast of you. Roy reminded.

Richie's pupils immediately focused in the southeast direction, and as the red light continued to shrink into his pupils, he felt that his eyesight was getting better and better, and the distant scenery was becoming clearer.

He noticed a distortion in the area where his pupils were focused, faintly and strangely, as if it was covered by a transparent protective film.

There is a strange feeling of space distortion, could it be that the highest part of Weilong City is hidden there? Li Qi thought about it, and ran towards the distorted world with doubts.

A quarter of an hour later, two or three kilometers from the twisted place, Richie's shouting suddenly sounded in his head.

"Be careful, don't rush over!"

Li Qi immediately stopped, and his expression suddenly became cautious, "Is there someone guarding there?"

"Well, it's heavily guarded, and I can sense a powerful psychic force unleashed there, which seems to be used to detect the enemy. Roy said.

While Li Qi was thinking about how to avoid the enemy's induction, wisps of light blue light suddenly floated out of Li Qi's head, and after a while, Li Qi's entire body was wrapped in it.

"Senior sister, this is ......" Li Qi raised his hand and looked at the film covering his body, his face was surprised.

"I cover you with my own spiritual power, so that others will not be able to sense your presence. Roy said.

"My temperature, smell, and sound can't be sensed by others?" ffge Li Qi was a little worried, after all, he knew that with current technology, if you want to detect the existence of biological reactions, there are methods, such as using temperature, sound waves, smells, etc. to detect biological instruments and equipment.

Roy nodded, "As long as you are not a strong person of the sensing type, otherwise you will not be able to discover your existence." ”

In fact, Li Qi was worried that he would accidentally touch a foreign object and make a sound, or he would not be able to control the power of the flood in his body, so as to break through the sphincter muscle of the back door, after all, he couldn't help but be greedy just now, and ate a few strings of spicy black chewy mushrooms on the side of the road, this mushroom fragrance is quite fragrant, refreshing and delicious, but it has an embarrassing effect...... The laxative effect is strong!

With trepidation, Richie descended to the distorted space under the cover of Roy's mental power.

Li Qi glanced around, this space is very hidden, if it weren't for Luo Yi's reminder, even if he opened his eyes, it would be difficult to find that there was an unknown space hidden here.

"To be able to create such a space, this kind of strength, I'm afraid I have reached the realm of Tianhe Steps......" Li Qi swallowed, his face full of shock.

"Self-contained space?" Roy smiled contemptuously, "It's just a trick to use mental power to hide one's own existence and shield the outside world from exploration." ”

Forehead...... Senior sister, it seems that you have also played such a trick. Of course, these big truths can only rot in the stomach.

Under the guidance of his senior sister, Li Qi chose a place with a slightly weaker sense to sneak in, like a drizzle of moisturizing things, quietly.

As soon as Li Qi entered the inside, he was greeted by a tall tower with a pitch-black body, and when he looked up, he couldn't see the spire at all, giving him the illusion of towering into the sky.

This tower is probably the highest place in Weilong City. Li Qi tilted his head and secretly smashed his tongue.

He glanced around a few times, and sure enough, as Roy had said, there were many guards lurking around. Moreover, Wu Yuan's cultivation is higher than him, it can be said that this place is the Longtan Tiger's Den for him, and once his big white pig is discovered, he will definitely end up in the wheel.

"Senior sister, did you sneak into the tower secretly, or did you help me fly up?" asked Li Qi in his heart.

"It's more difficult to sneak in secretly, it's hard to guarantee that you will encounter traps and the like, and my mental shield can't let you escape into the void and ignore the obstacles of the outside world. ”

"Is that to help me fly?" Richie looked up, and his heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Your weight is too much of my mental strength, don't think about flying up, you climb up by yourself. Roy immediately vetoed it.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Climb up, senior sister, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking, aren't you not good at Wu Yuan's external attachment? As a martial artist, controlling your own Wu Yuan is the most basic, and if you can't use Wu Yuan well, even the highest cultivation is in vain. Take advantage of the fact that you are just doing a cultivation now, attach Wu Yuanwai to the surface of your body, and climb up to the spire. "Also, be prepared to fall, you accidentally stepped on the air yourself, don't expect me to save you." ”

The last sentence directly extinguished Li Qi's luck of holding his senior sister to help. However, he didn't refute it, the senior sister did this with good intentions, after all, only in danger can people's potential be stimulated, which Li Qi deeply believes.

Li Qi gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed all over his body, and his gaze at the spire couldn't help but be a little solemn.

Quietly, the pale red Wu Yuan condensed on his hands and feet, and he also cautiously walked to the side of the tower.

......

Weilong City Central District, Longming Pond

The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

The night is dark and windless, the surface of the pond is calm as a mirror, and there are only ripples in the center of the pool, where there is a painting boat, which looks like a two-story eaves pavilion from a distance, and the hollow carved wooden windows reveal a little bit of firelight.

The interior of the painting boat is simple and elegant, with a few green vines hanging upside down from the hanging beams, and a small sandalwood table with only a small cup of warm tea and a small incense burner with a hint of sandalwood.

In front of the sandalwood table sat an old man in a green robe who was closing his eyes and recuperating, with a kind face, and next to him stood a slender man in black, although his face was wearing a mask, but his handsome eyebrows and eyes faintly revealed a tough gaze, obviously he was also an extraordinary person.

"Yuan Zhen, prepare tea, they're coming. The old man suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly.

When the black-clothed man on the side heard this, he immediately squatted down, took out another pair of tea sets from the side, and while cleaning them with hot water, he couldn't help but ask a question, "Elder Shouchen, who is the other party, and I need you to come to Weilong City to meet you in person?"

This old man is the elder of the Song family, Song Shouchen.

Song Shouchen took a sip of tea and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Yuan Zhen, since I called you here this time, I didn't plan to let you stay out of the matter, after all, in the Song family, you are my most trusted disciple." But this time the matter is not as simple as before, involving many forces, once you step in, you can no longer get out of the matter, and the slightest carelessness will kill you. So, would you like to follow me?"

"Yuan Zhen is willing to follow!" Yuan Zhen immediately said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination.

"Yuan Zhen, this matter is not trivial, you must think twice!" Shouchen admonished.

"Elder Shouchen, Yuan Zhen has already made up his mind, no matter what you do or where you go, I will swear to the death!" Yuan Zhen emphasized again and again, looking at Song Shouchen's eyes full of unwavering loyalty.

Looking at this disciple who had followed him since he was a child, the corners of Shouchen's mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a relieved smile, "I can have Yuan Zhen you, it's really a blessing from God!"

Shouchen took out a finger, dipped it in the water in the teacup, and scratched it on the table for a while, leaving two words, coiled.

"Root ......" Yuan Zhen looked at the desktop and read it slowly, with some doubts on his face.

"The people who are waiting this time are the ones who are rooted. You may not have heard of such an organization, after all, in today's martial arts world, where there are some forces, they are all world-famous families, sects, or alliances. And an organization like Packing, which is hidden in the underground world, is not well known to outsiders, just like its name, Packing, buried in the deep soil is intricately intertwined, and even if you go deep into it, it is difficult to understand one or two of them. It may seem loose, but it would be a big mistake to take it lightly. As far as I know, the warriors gathered by Pangen are by no means idle, with high strength, special abilities and even weird, mysterious whereabouts, individual can fight against a family with their own strength, plus they are good at hiding and lurking, even if it is a large sect, if it infiltrates a person from Pangen, it is enough to make the entire sect chaotic. Song Shouchen said patiently.

Yuan Zhen listened quietly with bated breath, his expression solemn.

"Do you remember when the Qi family was wiped out overnight?" Song Shouchen asked slowly.

"Well, could it be ......" Yuan Zhen's pupils dilated suddenly, "This matter has something to do with the roots?" But there are rumors in the underground martial arts world that it seems that the person who destroyed the Qi family is a character named 'Mr. HK'......"

"After all, it is a rumor, this so-called Mr. HK is nowhere to be found, his identity is mysterious, and no one knows his true face, and it is just speculation from outsiders that he is the murderer of the Qi family. ”

"Then according to what you mean, Elder Shouchen, this organization called Pangen is the real murderer?" Yuan Zhen said in a deep voice, with a hint of suspicion in his tone.

"It's not 100% certain, but there's a 70% chance that they did it. can quietly wipe out a big family overnight, and let the outside world know about it, such a powerful and strange strength can only be possessed by the roots. Song Shouchen sipped his tea, seeing that Yuan Zhen's expression was still questioning, knowing that he didn't quite agree with his own explanation, no wonder Yuan Zhen thought like this, after all, in the world of martial arts, there are many major forces, not to mention mysterious and powerful figures, not to mention that the roots can quietly destroy the Qi family, and other forces may be able to do it.

Song Shouchen smiled, "Another main reason why I think so is that the Qi family has what they need, which has become the fuse for the Qi family's destruction." ”

"This ...... What do you want?"

"It's what we want. Song Shouchen said lightly, "This is exactly why I met with them this time. ”

"Won't it be?!" Yuan Zhen's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, as if he had heard some amazing secret.

"Shhhhhh ”

Yuan Zhen suppressed the shock in his heart and looked out the window.

I saw the calm mirror-like lake, ripples in the distance, and a silver-white figure stepped on the water, walking lightly like a dragonfly touching the water, and the ripples behind him slowly rippled.
