Night without Borders

Chapter 168 Unpredictable
"He was actually seriously injured?" Li Qingyun had a ruddy complexion and crystal white hair. He was usually very calm, but now he showed an expression of disbelief.

It is conceivable how powerful Cao Qianqiu is! The news of his injury shocked Master Li.

Meng Xinghai even believed that this was a major event.

When Qin Ming heard this, he truly felt Cao Qianqiu's status and strength. It was like a mountain standing in the clouds, weighing on the hearts of all parties.

At the same time, he was very uneasy.

He came from that area. What is there in the Black and White Mountains?
Cao Qianqiu's achievements were so great that everyone was afraid of him, but he hit a wall there!

This time he didn't kick it through or crush it. Could it be that there is a big shot in that area?

Qin Ming looked back at the road he had come from, wondering if he had missed anything.
"Could there be an old senior who lives in seclusion?" he wondered.

Five hundred years ago, the Black and White Mountain was a desolate place that made everyone shudder. Then it collapsed inexplicably and has been in decline ever since, becoming a desolate land.

Are there any masters from the old times who are still alive?

"On this occasion, we should drink a glass of fine wine." Meng Xinghai said with a smile, and ordered someone to bring a luminous cup, Jinxia wine, etc.

Li Qingyun took a sip of the wine that was filled with the glow of the sunset and asked, "Any more specific news?"

Meng Xinghai said: "An old friend in the mountains sent a message. He did not dare to approach, but heard from other aliens that Cao Qianqiu was staggering and needed his disciples to help him walk."

Qin Ming's heart was filled with emotions. Such a domineering person had actually been hurt to this extent. It seemed that he had really met a ruthless person!

Li Qingyun said: "It's going to be lively now. Will anyone go to that area to hunt the injured Cao Qianqiu? For so many years, he has been in peak condition and no one can do anything to him."

"I guess there will be some trouble." Meng Xinghai said.

Qin Ming naturally hoped that Cao Qianqiu would not be able to leave the Black and White Mountain. This old guy was too dangerous. If you accidentally looked at him, you might be caught and killed by him.

But which expert is taking action?

“Even if there are mysteries in that area, they are most likely related to god-like creatures rather than humans.” Qin Ming pondered.

The current owner of the mountain, the white-haired monster, once cried at the grave there, kowtowed earnestly and offered sacrifices. It is said that an alien is buried in the old grave.

Soon, the news spread and caused a huge sensation!

Cao Qianqiu's injury shocked all parties. The files of Heishan, a name that had been silent for many years, were once again placed on the desks of many major forces.

All this has nothing to do with Qin Ming. The competition among big shots is still too far away from him.

"The Five Thunders to Refine the Internal Organs is quite magical!" After Qin Ming calmed down, he began to study the book and was deeply attracted.

He first heard of it when he was at the Luofu Mountain ruins, and never thought that he would be able to get his hands on it today.

It can strengthen itself internally, and it seems that it can be used in combination with the Purple Palace Thunder and Fire.

Unfortunately, there was no emotion left on the handwritten copy of "Five Thunders Refining the Organs" with the scent of ink, so Qin Ming could not use it to determine who had given the book.

"The combination of thunder and fire, the meeting of dragon and tiger, and the internal refining of elixir may really be realized in the future." After studying this book, Qin Ming felt that it was a very valuable supplement.

Five-colored rays of light flowed between his internal organs, followed by lightning flashes that rumbled out of his body, scaring the dozing Yuque so much that it flapped its wings and flew up, almost hitting the beam of the house.

"Master of the mountain, you really have a broad mind and your organs are as strong as thunder and lightning." It looked full of admiration.

Qin Ming looked at it and asked, "Do you have any inheritance?"

It sighed and said, "Bird life is difficult. I only have the most basic methods in the mountains, the kind that everyone knows. Even though I have divine nature, if I want to rise, I can only rely on physical mutation."

"I'll teach you two articles." Qin Ming said, and wrote down the "Black Peng Fragmentary Scripture" he got in the Shenshang Plain.

"Heaven and earth, it turns out to be the Peng clan's mental method. I, the little bird, am so happy that I am about to cry. I wish I could master it immediately to repay the mountain master." Yu Que was very excited. He did somersaults repeatedly, pointed one wing to the sky, and was very passionate, swearing to follow the mountain master until death.

"I also have a magic trick for a rare bird. It's a brocade bird that looks a lot like a phoenix..."

Before Qin Ming finished speaking, Yuque felt dizzy. It felt that the happiness came too intensely. It was like it was drunk and almost fell to the ground.

Qin Ming's words made it stunned again and completely calm down.

"You are weak now, so you should practice in Chixia City first. I will be going on a long journey soon. The place I am going to is very dangerous. If you follow me, something might happen."

"Master, are you going to travel alone again?" Yuque looked at him eagerly.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "After I teach you two scriptures, you should improve yourself here."

"Alas, Xiaoque is too weak." Yuque was very disappointed. He sighed and silently memorized two scriptures, preparing to practice hard.

Qin Ming was indeed afraid that it would die accidentally if it followed him. As his strength increased, the level of his opponents also continued to rise. If a bloody battle really took place, a flash of consciousness or an arrow feather with divine wisdom from the opponent might take Yuque's life.

He comforted her: "Practice well, maybe you will be the next Lord of Black and White Mountain, so you don't have to call others the Lord of the Mountain all the time."

At this moment, Qin Ming already has a target - Kunling.

Soon, he will head to the special area between the three major dynasties of Yu, Qian and Rui.

There are many schools, dojos, blessed lands, and extremely dangerous Jedi, all of which are very particular and have various legends. With Qin Ming's current state, there is no need to be bound to one religion.

Kunling not only borders the three great dynasties, but also has close relations with esoteric Buddhism and otherworldly places.

As long as various collections of books are open to Qin Ming, it doesn't matter where he goes. Reading various scriptures will be of greatest benefit to him.

Before leaving, Qin Ming had a small gathering with Wu Zheng, Xu Sheng and Sister Fenfang.

"At first, I was teasing Zheng Maoze, but later, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. He had the aura of an old peddler." Xu Sheng said that he felt that Zheng Maoze might have had "something wrong".

Qin Ming was in a trance. Logically speaking, the place outside the world was full of masters. If anything went wrong with Zheng Maoze, he would definitely be noticed at the first moment.

Or was it that Zheng Maoze was entangled by something inexplicable after he came out this time? Suddenly, his heart shuddered. Could it be that the giant centipede was not completely dead?

He frowned. Normally, that wouldn't be the case. The four old veterans were hunting the god together, so they wouldn't leave it any chance at all.

Qin Ming shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking. If something really happened, he would have taken away so much divinity, and the cause and effect would be huge. That "great being" would definitely come to him first.

Several of them were slightly drunk and clamoring to go into the mountains. They had teamed up several times to look for spiritual substances in the mountains, but they always returned empty-handed.

"I still remember how that man in gray intercepted our Xuelian. It was so hateful!" Zhou Lin was so angry that he was about to swear again.

Qin Ming also thought of that person. He saw that figure again later but did not catch up with him. Now he had an urge to go into the mountains to catch that person!

Afterwards, the group went into the mountains and the Yuque followed. Soon it started to make friends with the birds in the mountains and to find out if there was someone who liked to steal things.

The result was beyond their expectations. They got the answer directly. This was a gray organization that liked to do this kind of thing, but they would not offend anyone to death. They would rob money but not kill.

On that day, Qin Ming, Xu Sheng and others destroyed the stronghold in the mountains and obtained a lot of daytime gold, spiritual materials, etc.

Zhou Lin finally stopped cursing and returned with a smile on his face.

Qin Ming only took some daytime gold. The spiritual material here was not of a high enough level and was no longer useful to him.

Yuque and Wu Zheng's eyes were very eager. Xu Sheng and Zhou Lin were also very happy and had gained a lot.

On that day, a piece of news came that made everyone stunned. Cao Qianqiu was not injured at all. The old guy was just fishing and killed two powerful men who possessed him.

"This old man is immortal!" Many people were disappointed.

It is reported that Cao Qianqiu had a sudden impulse recently and sensed something unusual, thinking that someone wanted to harm him, so he took the initiative to "show weakness" to lure the enemy.

"Is it really so terrifying at this level?" Qin Ming was lost in thought. Could those old seniors sense what was about to happen in advance?

"It's really outrageous that an old guy of that level is walking in the front row." Li Qingyun sighed.

However, another piece of news came the next day, which made everyone's expressions even more exciting.

After killing the two possessed warriors, Cao Qianqiu really encountered an accident. He acted on a whim... and miscalculated the target.

Meng Xinghai said: "People from Fangwai Pure Land have confirmed that this is true. Lao Cao ran back overnight to recuperate."

"What's going on?" Qin Ming really wanted to know.

"Still in Black and White Mountain..."

Cao Qianqiu went to the Black and White Mountains with some purpose in mind. He wanted to find something, and he had asked the locals about various conditions and inquired about unusual legends.

In a village, there was an old man who was very enthusiastic. He told Cao Qianqiu that he had encountered a strange thing in his childhood. The kite he flew was stained with blood.

When Qin Ming heard this, he felt quite familiar, because he had also heard this story!

Could it be that Old Man Liu is enthusiastically giving directions?
Soon, Qin Ming learned that Cao Qianqiu was the one who caused the incident near Shuangshu Village.

It is said that after he understood the situation, his consciousness transformed into a huge red sun, rising into the night sky and carefully exploring the entire area.

But soon after, he let out a muffled groan, and the bright sun dimmed in an instant and fell down at a high speed. Then he took his disciples and fled overnight.

"Could this be fake again?" Li Qingyun was suspicious. Now he was a little doubtful. Was Cao Qianqiu trying to lure the enemy for the second time?

Meng Xinghai shook his head and said, "This time it's not fake. Someone in the Pure Land who doesn't like him has confirmed that he is indeed injured, but his problem is not particularly serious. Moreover, he himself said that no external enemy can seriously injure him."

Qin Ming really wanted to know what happened to the old guy.

Cao Qianqiu did not reveal the secret, but only said that those who were not convinced could investigate it themselves.

That night, when Qin Ming fell into a deep sleep, he suddenly felt a sense of horror. He suddenly opened his eyes and then felt something was wrong.

He felt as if his consciousness had left his body and was about to sink into a dark fog.

He wanted to rush back to his body, but failed. He had already touched the flesh and blood, but could not go back. He was being pulled away by an inexplicable force. At the last moment, his consciousness only had time to grab an object in his "hands".

After that, he completely distanced himself from his physical body.

"This fog..." Qin Ming was shocked. When he was at the Six Imperial Ancestral Temple, he saw endless black fog appearing behind Lu Zizai and the physical bodies of the Six Imperial Ancestral Master. In that fog, there was a terrifying giant corresponding to the two people, shining with golden light.

He felt like he had entered a similar black fog!
