Chapter 84: [Mission Successfully Completed]
Night is slowly falling.
During this period, more than 50 people searched the entire valley for seven or eight hours.
The reason why it took so long was because Ling Ping gave an order that everyone was not allowed to use Star Xuan Force, otherwise it would alarm Xing Ying who was hiding in the shadows.
But even if they didn't use Xingxuan Force, they still didn't find any trace of Xing Ying, not even a personal footprint, only some fierce beasts living here.
Gradually, even Ling Ping himself was a little suspicious, could Xing Ying not be hiding here at all?
As soon as this suspicion arose, a strange scream suddenly rose, which was particularly piercing in the valley at night.
"Over there!"
Ling Ping's eyes froze, and the whole person flew up in the air, galloping in that direction, and the others hurriedly followed.
Soon after, everyone looked at a rock with different expressions, and a strange-looking beast was tied to it with vines.
There was also a bloody wound on the beast's abdomen, and it seemed that someone had deliberately injured the beast and tied it to scream to attract them.
"That little brute is provoking us!"
Ling Ping's face was gloomy and almost dripping, and he said coldly: "Keep looking for me! He must be nearby!"
The crowd dispersed and continued their search.
Until dawn, they searched the valley again, but found nothing.
Ling Ping could only urge the Gu worm that recognized the breath again to guide the direction, and then quickly rushed in that direction.
rushed out of the thousands of meters, but only saw a lush tree, he slapped the tree to pieces, and sawdust flew all over the sky.
Although no one was found, what was certain was that Xing Ying was still in the valley, but he was hiding.
A few hundred meters away.
Xing Ying lay on his stomach behind a rock.
Just now, he was observing Ling Ping from a distance, and when he saw the Gu worm in his hand aimed at him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly used the time artistic conception to run out of a few hundred meters in an instant, and only then did he escape.
"I see, no wonder these people can catch up, it turns out that there are such means. ”
"But that Gu worm seems to have a cooldown time, otherwise that Ling Ping would have been used infinitely, how could he wait so long. ”
Xing Ying secretly analyzed, and then entered a stealth state, silently away from this place.
......。
Unable to catch anyone for a long time, Ling Ping's mood became more and more irritable.
In fact, he couldn't figure out how Xing Ying killed the two disciples in the middle of the Star Emperor Realm at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he figured it out.
Before the eldest elder went out, the bastard came to ask him for an aphrodisiac Gu, and he didn't think about it so much at first, just thinking that this kid wanted to harm a girl outside the sect.
But when the Wang family's tracker confirmed that the jade pendant was exactly the same, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and connected the things before and after.
It must be the illegitimate son of the Great Elder who wanted to use an aphrodisiac Gu to deal with the female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and then was killed by others, and after his death, the natal Gu attacked, and the female disciple was suppressed.
Xing Ying is afraid that it was at this time that he came out to pick up the leak and played a fisherman to make a profit.
It was also because he understood these things that Ling Ping suddenly calmed down in the lobby of the Wang family, and said that he had Gu worms that could only recognize breath.
This was to divert Xia Qing's attention and prevent her from continuing to think deeply.
The battle between the illegitimate son of the Great Elder and the female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Xing Ying must have seen it on the side, if he told the Hundred Flowers Sect everything that happened, the reputation of the Gu Sect would be completely ruined that day.
It may even cause a conflict between the two sects, after all, Xia Qing said that the female disciple is deeply loved by the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect.
In addition to the above possible consequences, there was one of the most important things that Ling Ping was worried about, and that was the aphrodisiac Gu carried by the Great Elder's illegitimate son, but he gave it!
If you really track him down, everyone will think of him first.
Because he is the one who is best at cultivating aphrodisiac Gu in the Heavenly Gu Sect, and in order to shoot the big elder's sycophants, he is also very familiar with that illegitimate child, so it can be said that he can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
In this way, he Ling Ping was indirectly responsible for the death of the two disciples.
Judging from the temper of the Great Elder, he will at least be abolished and driven out of the sect, and then he may be executed by the Hundred Flowers Sect Master.
Thinking of these terrible consequences, Ling Ping was trembling.
So after he was sure that Xing Ying was contaminated with the breath of the Great Elder's illegitimate son, he instantly wanted to kill people, as long as Xing Ying was killed, there would be no proof of death, and the matter was over, and all the black cauldrons would be carried by Xing Ying.
To put it simply, Xing Ying is one of his scapegoats.
But now that this scapegoat can't be found, he is very irritable and panicked, and he is very afraid that Xing Ying will tell the Baihuazong everything.
Only by killing Xing Ying completely can he feel at ease.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter who caught Xing Ying first, he would do whatever it took to immediately step forward and kill, and he would never let Xing Ying tell the whole story.
Ling Ping's mental activities, Xing Ying naturally didn't know.
In the next few days, he repeated his old tricks, constantly using various methods to make noise and attract the attention of these people.
Sometimes he starts a fire somewhere, sometimes he injures a beast somewhere and makes it scream, and sometimes he pushes a boulder down a steep rock wall somewhere.
In short, all his actions were a reminder to these people that he was still in the valley and that he had not left.
The time on the basic quest was also decreasing, and finally on the fourth day of the valley, the quest was completed.
【Achievement Mission】
"Basic Mission: Stay Stealthy (00:00:00). ”
"Advanced Mission: Maintain a stealth state (01:00:00) within ten meters of a Star King Realm cultivator. ”
......。
Xing Ying glanced at it, this advanced task is not difficult, as long as you choose a random disciple and follow this disciple within ten meters for an hour, the task can be completed.
However, just in case, he specially chose a disciple who was farthest away from Ling Ping and Xia Qing, in addition to being afraid that the task would be interrupted halfway, he also wanted to see that the situation was not good, and he had time to run.
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
In this hour, the disciple Xing Ying followed not only did not go in the direction of Ling Ping and Xia Qing, but also got farther and farther away.
After all, after searching in this valley for several days, these disciples were all tired, and none of them wanted to get close to Ling Ping and Xia Qing, so that they could secretly stop and rest for a while.
This kind of lazy behavior just brought convenience to Xing Ying's task.
An hour later, the mission was successfully completed, and now it was time to turn the sixth page of the skill book.
However, he didn't hurry, but his gaze slowly moved and stopped at the Heavenly Gu Sect disciple who was sitting under the tree and secretly resting.
......。
