Chapter 50: Undercurrents
Somewhere in the Sunset Forest, an owl on a tall tree was scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze, and suddenly, as if frightened, it hissed and flew away.
Not far away, two figures flew quickly and stopped in a dark corner next to the tree.
"Brother Wang, it was my fault that I lost more than a dozen brothers, I didn't expect that a seventh-order master of quenching would appear halfway, it was my negligence. ”
Song Ning slowed down, looked up at the man in black in front of him, rolled his eyes, and then said with a fist.
"Well, despite the loss of a dozen brothers, our mission was successfully completed. "The man in black who is called Brother Wang is the stout man in black before, his face is also gloomy and ugly at the moment, although he has completed the task, but more than a dozen people have died, this price is a bit big, I am afraid he will inevitably be punished after he goes back.
Song Ning was afraid of being blamed for such an accident on this mission, but when he heard the latter's meaning, he didn't seem to blame him, and when he heard this, Song Ning also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his legs that were a little sore, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, this damn little cub didn't expect it to be so powerful......
The black-clothed man on the side also showed a wry smile on his face, Quenching the seventh order, if they hadn't run fast, I'm afraid they would both have died there, but the latter also had the heart to listen, frowned slightly, turned his head and asked, "Before you looked, you seemed to know him?"
"Well, a young man who Pan Yue was carrying on the road during the day, heard Pan Yue say that it was his friend. Song Ning thought for a while and said.
"Oh, what is the name of Pan Yue's friend?" the man in black asked again.
"As for the name, I don't know. When he first met Wu Ming, Song Ning asked, but was interrupted by Pan Yue, and Song Ning didn't ask much when he saw that Wu Ming was young.
A stranger came, and he didn't ask much, the man in black looked at Song Ning angrily, and then thought of something, and suddenly said to Song Ning: "By the way, give me the Shadow Stone." ”
Nodding, Song Ning took out a white fluorescent stone from his arms and handed it to the man in black.
After taking the lingering stone, the man in black moved his fingers slightly, and the fluorescent stone suddenly threw out an impact light curtain, any scene of the mercenary group before was recorded, and it was being repeated one scene after another, and when he saw the young man, the man in black was immediately stunned, and then exclaimed: "Wu Ming?!"
The man in black stared at him with a round face, and his face was full of surprise, even he didn't expect that the young man who appeared before was Wu Ming, who had rescued him in the Sunset Plain, the Wu Ming he had seen before was wearing coarse cloth and rags, but the person in front of him was dressed in brocade and satin, and he didn't expect Wu Ming to appear in this place, so he didn't recognize it for a while.
After recognizing the latter, the man in black was also bitterly relieved, with Wu Ming's strength, it was easy to defeat more than a dozen of their brothers, and the latter's cultivation was much stronger than before, this talent can be called terrifying.
"But this Wu Ming, isn't he in the Lin Hai Medicine Workshop, how can he be with the people of the mercenary group? Is it really a hitchhike as Song Ning said?" The man in black lowered his eyes and groaned slightly, sorting out the relationship.
"Lin Hai Pharmacy, Mercenary Group, Wu Ming ......"
"I still need to go back to report this matter to the group leader, you can find a place to hide in the town these days, and when there is news, I will come back to you." After saying that, he took the shadow stone into his arms, and the stout man in black did not linger, turned over and jumped, and disappeared into the night with a few leaps.
Hearing that he was going to hide, the corners of Song Ning's mouth also trembled, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey, and then turned around and left.
......
Chengrou Town.
In a secret room, a stout man in black was kneeling on one knee at this time, with a nervous look on his face, staring ahead.
In front of it, a middle-aged man, looking at the image of the shadow stone in his hand with a calm face, projected an image, and the latter's eyes were firmly fixed on the slightly emaciated young figure in the image.
"This Wu Ming ...... How could he appear?" the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and a deep voice came slowly.
swallowed his saliva, and the black-clothed man below had a slightly unnatural expression, so he carefully repeated Song Ning's original words.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded slightly, and then asked, "Are you sure there is no living mouth?"
"Yes, Leader. ”
The deep voice echoed throughout the secret room, shaking the chest of the man in black, and the strength of the middle-aged man in front of him was much better than some time ago, and the latter's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists and said respectfully.
I don't know how long it took before the middle-aged man in front of him slowly spoke: "Wang Qin, you did a good job. ”
The black-clothed man below is Wang Qin, and the group leader in his mouth is naturally Han Tian, the group leader of the Tianfeng Business Group.
Wang Qin, hearing this, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his nervous face was now much easier, he thought that the latter would blame him for sacrificing so much, but he didn't expect that he would praise him, so that he would be a little confused, but it was always a good thing not to be punished.
"Thank you for the group's praise. Wang Qin hugged his fists and said.
"Yes. Han Tian nodded slightly, staring at the image in front of him, as if thinking about something.
"Group Master, what happens next......" After a moment's hesitation, Wang Qin asked softly.
"I have other plans for this matter, you go down first. Han Tian waved his hand and said softly, "By the way, don't let Miss know about this matter, understand?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Wang Qin's eyes rolled when he heard this, and then he answered, and then turned around and retreated.
After Wang Qin left, there was a faint laughter in the secret room.
"Wu Ming, Wu Ming, I gave you a chance, but you are not rare, you are on the wrong team, then you can't blame anyone. ”
"But your presence has done me a great favor, hehe. ”
......
At the same time, in a thatched hut, the dim candlelight flickered and danced, pulling the figure of the coarse cloth woman very long.
"Who?" Wu Ling's hands that were mending clothes suddenly stopped, raised her head to look out of the door, and asked softly.
There was no response quietly outside the house, and Wu Ling didn't care about thinking it was some small animals, because it was close to the back mountain, and there were often some lost small animals attracted by the lights, and Wu Ling was not surprised by this.
Just when Wu Ling was about to withdraw her gaze, two figures suddenly appeared at her door.
Wu Ling was stunned, but when she saw the patterns engraved on their robes, the look of horror on her face suddenly appeared, and her pretty face suddenly turned white at the moment.
"Guy, you're really hard for us to find. ”
One of them, an old man with a snake face like dry wax, wearing a white snake robe, stared at Wu Ling with shining eyes, and smiled evilly.
"Hmph, this time it depends where you go. The bald man in the yellow robe next to him also sneered, his eyes mixed with banter and resentment.
"It's you?!"
Wu Ling opened her mouth and exclaimed, her face was full of panic, and she saw the faces of the two figures in front of her clearly, and the memory in Wu Ling's mind was traced to fourteen years ago.
One day fourteen years ago, the heavy rain was pouring down, and it was the two familiar and unfamiliar voices in front of her, chasing her thousands of miles away, to be precise, their target was not Wu Ling, but the baby in Wu Ling's arms.
"Truly, I didn't expect you to survive my Ten Thousand Snake Cold Yin Poison. The snake-faced old man's terrifying and piercing voice slowly came, and his eyes also looked at Wu Ling in front of him with interest, and said coldly, "However, it's not comfortable, Jiji." ”
Even if he doesn't die, if he survives, his cultivation will be lost, the snake-faced old man doesn't feel that she has any cultivation at all, and now Wu Ling is just an ordinary person.
Hearing this, Wu Ling didn't speak, her beautiful eyes were full of this fierce color, and she stared at the two people in front of her.
The bald man on the side waved his hand, and then said lightly to Wu Ling, "Say, where is that evil obstacle?"
"If you want to know about him from me, no way, I won't tell you if I die. ”
Wu Ling's thin body trembled violently, clenched her fists tightly, and the look of perseverance and determination also appeared on her face in vain, and she said word by word.
When the young lady entrusted Wu Ming to her, she swore that even if she fought for her life, she would never let Wu Ming be hurt in the slightest.
After 14 years of hiding, I thought it would end like this, but I didn't expect it to be found.
"Hmph, you're still as hard-mouthed as you were fourteen years ago, but now do you think you still have the strength you had before?"
The snake-faced old man roared angrily, and an indescribable terrifying force erupted from his body in vain, and the breath that was enough to oppress and suffocate frantically surged around, and the dilapidated thatched hut exploded with a bang under the impact of that terrifying wave of qi.
All of a sudden, it went dark.
Then the snake-faced old man sucked it violently, and sucked Wu Ling over, pinching Wu Ling's jade neck with his palm, making the latter's face flush and very painful.
"Where's the obstacle?" the snake-faced old man asked again.
"Even if it's ...... Die, too...... Won't say. Wu Ling gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, her eyes were extremely fierce.
In the only broken basket that remained, Xiao Jin also woke up at this time and stretched his waist, but when Xiao Jin saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned, and he couldn't react.
On the other hand, Wu Ling also saw Xiao Jin through the afterglow, and then her face tightened, and she shouted, "Xiao Jin, run." ”
"Squeak. ”
Xiao Jin also paused for a moment, then understood, squeaked, and ran to the dark place in a panic.
"Huh, this monkey...... It's kind of interesting. The bald man looked at Xiao Jin in the distance, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Forget it, don't worry about that brute, it's important to do it first. The snake-faced old man waved his hand to stop the latter and said.
Hearing this, the bald man also nodded, looking at the disappeared figure with some regret in his eyes, and then turned his attention to Wu Ling.
"I have a way for you to say it, do you? The snake-faced old man said lightly, with a few fingers, a fluorescent screen covered Wu Ling was blocked, and then Wu Ling was swept away with a wave of his robe, and his figure was shot away at the night sky, and then the bald man followed closely.
High in the air above Woyun Village, three figures stood in the air.
"Jiji, I'll give you one last chance, do you want to talk about it?" the snake-faced old man's terrifying voice came out again.
On the other hand, Wu Ling was still tightly closed, and her face was resolute.
"Okay, good, good. ”
The snake-faced old man sneered, stretched out his dry palm, the air around him trembled violently, and the true qi around him quickly surged here, forming an air palm that was huge enough to cover the entire Woyun Village that was visible to the naked eye, and then it was pressed down in Wu Ling's frightened eyes.
"No!"
"Boom!"
A loud bang fell, and Woyun Village disappeared.
It was as if the whole earth was trembling and shaking violently, and the light of the candle flame below had disappeared, and only a huge pit of palm prints on the ground was faintly visible, and it was pitch black.
Wu Ling's weak body fell down weakly, slumped on the screen, two lines of tears also fell slowly, and her face was extremely painful and remorseful.
It was she who affected Woyun Village, and it was she who affected innocent people......
"I'm sorry...... I am the one who has harmed you. Wu Ling cried in pain.
The two people next to him felt very interested, and looked at the woman in front of them with the corners of their mouths crooked, and after a while, the snake-faced old man frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and said, "There is a message from the sect, let us hurry back to the sect." ”
"Huizong, what about that evil obstacle?" the bald man began.
"Don't worry, with her in hand, are you afraid that the evil obstacle will not be found?" The snake-faced old man smiled evilly, and with a wave of his sleeve robe, a white stone flew out of it, flying downward, and after doing this, he said to the bald man next to him, "If he comes back, he will see the Lingering Stone, and when the time comes, Ji Ji, he will take the initiative to send it to the door without us looking for him, Ji Ji." ”
"Let's go, go back to the sect. With a wave of his hand, the snake-faced old man disappeared into the night sky.
