Ch 251: Qiang Liu’s Release!
“Junior Meng, what’s wrong with you?”
“Senior Brother Meng Changyong, are you feeling unwell?”
A male and a female Daoist looked at Meng Changyong, whose complexion wasn’t very good, and asked with concern.
Neither of them would ever have imagined that Meng Changyong, right before their eyes, would personally send them on their way.
“I… I’m feeling a little unwell. I’ll go and rest for a bit!”
Meng Changyong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his pale skin, and went to sit down to the side.
“Okay, alright! Senior Brother Meng, just rest well over there. The two of us are enough to guard the prison!”
“Junior Meng, if you’re unwell, should I call Teacher and ask him to take a look at you?”
The two remained very concerned about Meng Changyong.
“No, no…”
Meng Changyong smiled and politely refused, trying to calm himself down, but his heart still uncontrollably pounded “thump thump thump”.
Meng Changyong was undergoing an extremely intense inner struggle.
This was Meng Changyong’s first time committing murder, anyone would be nervous!
“Then rest well. We’ll go reinforce the talismans.”
The male and female Daoists, after giving their instructions, turned their backs and began inputting magical power into the talismans.
However, Meng Changyong’s expression changed from panic to ruthlessness…
I’m sorry!
After you die, don’t become ghosts and haunt me!
If you want to find someone, find Qiang Liu. It was Qiang Liu who made me kill you, it’s not my fault!
Meng Changyong took a deep breath, and a dim candle ignited in his hand…
…
Deng Ning felt a constant unease in his heart.
The Heavenly Yin Society infiltrated the Alliance, and he helped cover up, so he always felt anxious.
Hopefully, those guys from the Heavenly Yin Society won’t be caught!
And after the matter is completed, hopefully, the promised Reward won’t be less!
Deng Ning came to his room and opened a safe.
Inside, besides some talismans, there was a Cloth Bag.
Deng Ning opened the bag, and inside was a bag full of Essence Pills.
It was by absorbing Essence Pills that Deng Ning’s cultivation had made rapid progress in a short period, promoting him to Earth Level Daoist!
Seeing the Essence Pills in his hand, Deng Ning felt a little more at ease.
“Caught red-handed.”
Suddenly, Zhang Buran’s voice came from behind Deng Ning.
Before Deng Ning could turn around, he was knocked unconscious by a strong electric current.
When he woke up again, Deng Ning found himself tied up, panicked.
Before Deng Ning, Zhang Buran, Xia Yun, and Xu Cangtian looked at him coldly.
Deng Ning’s heart sank, but he still pretended to be calm and nervously asked:
“You… what are you doing? Why are you tying me up?”
“You colluded with the Heavenly Yin Society, and you still dare to act innocent here?” Zhang Buran glared.
Regarding this former classmate, although they weren’t particularly close…
But seeing Deng Ning fall to the point of collaborating with the Heavenly Yin Society, Zhang Buran still felt some regret.
Deng Ning’s face turned pale.
He had finally been exposed…
“You… don’t slander me!”
Deng Ning was still pretending to be clueless.
But Zhang Buran threw out the bag of Essence Pills, weighing at least seven or eight kilograms.
“How do you explain this?” Zhang Buran’s gaze was icy.
Deng Ning met his gaze, then nervously looked away.
“This… this was confiscated during a mission targeting the Heavenly Yin Society. I wanted to keep it for research, so I didn’t hand it in!”
Deng Ning was sweating profusely, but he still refused to admit it.
“Heh, Deng Ning, I wanted to give you some face, but you still won’t admit it…”
Zhang Buran snapped his fingers.
Qie Man then brought up the tied-up Jin Buhuan and Jin Zidou brothers.
The moment Deng Ning saw the two, his already pale face turned even paler.
It’s over, completely over…
…
With Jin Buhuan and Jin Zidou’s confessions, and the irrefutable evidence, Deng Ning had no way to argue.
After bringing out Deng Ning, the inside agent, and solving everything.
Zhang Buran patrolled the Daoist Alliance and its surroundings again, but did not find any sign of the Black Wings Team.
They must have already escaped.
But the Black Wings Team didn’t do anything too excessive, they only blew a hole in the Daoist Prison and stole some Earth Level Magical Treasures.
The loss of a few unimportant Earth Level Magical Treasures wouldn’t be taken too seriously by the Daoist Alliance higher-ups.
Actually, Zhang Buran had to thank the Black Wings Team for taking the fall…
Zhang Buran is at most a Freelance Daoist now, and he doesn’t have the authority to borrow the Earth Level Magical Treasure Golden Serpent Bone.
The loss of the Golden Serpent Bone, secretly taken by Zhang Buran, was naturally blamed on the Black Wings Team.
Zhang Buran unknowingly arrived at the barren mountain where he first met Bei Mingjie.
This barren mountain was unremarkable, just like the other hundreds of mountains, with nothing particularly outstanding about it.
It was very peaceful around.
Zhang Buran didn’t know whether what Nan Yu Bei Zhang said was true or false.
But Zhang Buran only knew that his feelings for Bei Mingjie were real. If he hadn’t gone astray…
Sigh…
Bei Mingjie, since you’re not dead, where are you?
If Nan Yu Bei Zhang is playing him, just consider it a revisit to the old place, to see things and think of people.
At worst, I’ll go back and beat up Nan Yu Bei Zhang…
Zhang Buran took out the Golden Serpent Bone.
Then, Zhang Buran didn’t know what to do…
He threw and smashed the Golden Serpent Bone…
But the Golden Serpent Bone remained just a hard Bone, without any movement.
“Did that fat slob deceive me?”
Zhang Buran felt like he had been tricked.
But why would Nan Yu Bei Zhang deceive him?
Doing so would only disgust Zhang Buran, and it wouldn’t benefit Nan Yu Bei Zhang at all.
At this moment, a slight sound came from the grass.
Zhang Buran looked closely, and it was a Cobra as thick as an arm slowly crawling over.
No, not one.
Upon closer inspection, there were 16 Cobras surrounding Zhang Buran, each as thick as a human arm.
Logically, so many Cobras shouldn’t appear on the same mountain.
The only explanation is that these snakes were attracted by the Golden Serpent Bone.
Zhang Buran remembered Bei Mingjie saying that the Golden Serpent Bone could resonate with cold-blooded animals.
Zhang Buran placed the Golden Serpent Bone on the ground, and flew up to see what reaction the snakes and the Golden Serpent Bone would have.
The usually ferocious Cobras were now focused on crawling towards the Golden Serpent Bone, winding around the snow-white bone.
The Golden Serpent Bone was originally just a white bone, but as several Cobras coiled around it, it began to emit golden and red veins…
The Golden Serpent Bone, originally curled up into a ball, now gradually unfolded, forming a Bone Spear.
This was also the form that the Golden Serpent Bone only showed when used by Bei Mingjie.
The next moment, the Golden Serpent Bone, transformed into a Bone Spear, seemed to suddenly come alive, transforming into a flexible Bone Serpent, wriggling.
The Cobras wrapped around it quickly scattered…
The Golden Serpent Bone shot into the ground at a speed faster than a rabbit, leaving a fist-sized hole in the ground.
But for a long time, the Golden Serpent Bone didn’t come out.
Zhang Buran, losing his patience, unleashed a Purple Lightning bolt, and the ground instantly cracked open.
The Golden Serpent Bone that had burrowed underground had nowhere to escape, instantly curling into a ball.
Zhang Buran picked up the lump of Golden Serpent Bone, but found that it was curled up, wrapping something inside.
It was a dark thing, like a small insect.
But because it was wrapped by the Golden Serpent Bone, Zhang Buran couldn’t see clearly.
But Zhang Buran could vaguely discern that it was a Gu Insect!
If it was a Gu Insect left by Bei Mingjie, then what did he mean by leaving this Gu Insect…
Just as Zhang Buran was puzzled, he noticed a wooden box nearby.
Opening the box, the contents immediately startled Zhang Buran.
It was a box full of Magical Treasures and Secret Manuals.
And…
A dried Female Corpse!
The dried Female Corpse had black and wrinkled skin, and its outline could only be vaguely identified as a woman’s.
Zhang Buran knelt down and carefully examined the Corpse.
Besides the fact that the Corpse was so well-preserved and hadn’t turned to bone, Zhang Buran couldn’t detect anything unusual.
What was Bei Mingjie’s intention in leaving this Female Corpse?
After removing the Corpse, there were some miscellaneous Magical Treasures and Secret Manuals in the box: six Earth Level Magical Treasures and more than 20 Profound Level Magical Treasures.
But Zhang Buran wasn’t interested in these at all.
After emptying the box, Zhang Buran saw a stone tablet at the very bottom.
The stone tablet was inscribed with several lines of text.
After reading it, Zhang Buran’s expression gradually changed from serious to solemn.
“Bei Mingjie, could it be that the Daoist Alliance, including me, have all wrongly accused you?”
“But back then… why didn’t you explain, but instead took on everything?”
“After your death, leaving this pile of clues to explain, what’s the point?”
Zhang Buran’s mind raced, completely baffled.
At this time, Zhang Buran’s phone rang.
It was Lin Wanmo calling.
After Zhang Buran answered, Lin Zhenghao’s panicked voice came from the other side.
“Zhang Buran, Wanmo has been kidnapped! Kidnapped by a madman!”
“What?”
…
At this time, outside the Daoist Prison, the male and female Yellow Level Daoists guarding it had already fallen.
Their chests were pierced, and they had already died, but their eyes were wide open in disbelief before their death…
Meng Changyong’s hands were covered in blood, and he trembled as he sat down on his buttocks.
‘Killing someone is enough to make you panic like this? Hahaha…’
In Meng Changyong’s mind, Qiang Liu, who had been silent for a long time, finally sneered.
‘Adult Qiang Liu, what should we do now?’
‘Come in, let me out.’
Meng Changyong took two deep breaths and stepped into the gloomy prison.
There’s no turning back, sooner or later the Daoist Alliance will find out about his murder, Meng Changyong can only rely on Qiang Liu now.
Inside the prison, facing the unkind eyes around him, Meng Changyong’s heart trembled violently as he approached the Cell covered with talismans.
Inside the Cell, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see if anyone was there.
“Adult, Adult Qiang Liu?” Meng Changyong mustered his courage and tentatively called out.
A pair of crimson pupils suddenly opened.
“You’re a loyal dog, Kid.”
“You should feel honored to be this Lord’s dog.”
Hearing this low but slightly playful voice, Meng Changyong felt a chill down his spine, and quickly bowed his head in agreement: “This Petty Person is greatly honored!”
“Since that’s the case, be a good dog, be this Lord’s dog.”
As soon as the words fell, Qiang Liu’s fingertip brushed past a dim candle, and all the talismans on the iron cage burned to ash.
Then, Qiang Liu raised his finger, and several iron bars thicker than arms were also melted by the dim candle.
Qiang Liu strolled out of the Cell, stretching.
Seeing this, Meng Changyong was stunned.
Qiang Liu could easily walk out, why did he have to make him kill people to save him?
“Qiang… Adult Qiang Liu, you could have escaped on your own, why did you make this Petty Person…”
“Of course, this Petty Person is only simply curious, absolutely no intention of disobedience…”
Meng Changyong’s survival instinct was at its peak.
In fact, Meng Changyong was half a head taller than Qiang Liu.
But in order to appear subservient, Meng Changyong hunched his back and lowered his head.
“Of course, it’s to test if you have the guts to kill.”
“You don’t even dare to kill, and you still dare to follow this Lord?”
“You should be glad that you killed those two just now, otherwise this Lord would have eliminated you without hesitation.”
Qiang Liu tore off a talisman, rolled it into a cigarette shape, and smoked it.
The prisoners in the surrounding Cells cast envious, fearful, or surprised glances.
“This Lord will only say it once, if you submit to this Lord, become this Lord’s dogs, this Lord will set you free.”
These prisoners who had been imprisoned for many years, upon hearing the chance to escape, instantly became excited.
“Me! I’m willing to be your dog!”
“And me!”
“Me too, I’ll be absolutely loyal!”
“Me! Me! Me!”
Listening to the chaotic expressions of loyalty, Qiang Liu snapped his fingers.
A dim candle ignited on the bars of all the prisoners’ Cells.
In just a moment, the seemingly indestructible Cells were burned through.
Some of the prisoners were unbelievable, at the moment they escaped the torment that had imprisoned them for so long, they were extremely excited.
“Kneel.”
Qiang Liu said in an unquestionable tone.
A Thin Monkey ran out, perhaps because of the regained freedom, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
The Thin Monkey didn’t know where he got the courage, he put his hands on his hips and shouted at Qiang Liu:
“You really think you’re someone important, huh?”
“Little master is known in the Jianghu as Sun Xiaosheng, no one can bind me!”
“Saying I’ll be your subordinate was just a temporary measure. Now that I’m out of prison, my magic is back. You still expect me to be your Little Brother, Pooh!”
