Night without Borders

Chapter 63 Turmoil
The entire mansion was as bright as day. Although it was a snowy season, it was as warm as spring and summer. The flower beds were full of colorful flowers, and the grass and trees in the courtyard were lush and green.

In the spacious hall, the dignified middle-aged man did not speak immediately. The brief silence made Cui Hong, who was standing with his hands hanging down, feel like he was facing a towering mountain.

"Leave him some money for the day so that he can have enough food and clothing and live a prosperous life there."

Cui Hong, the man with long arms, nodded immediately, but then he carefully asked again: "If he has been reborn, does he need to..."

The middle-aged man said: "The method in the silk book cannot be practiced."

"If he has abandoned the silk book, and changed his practice to survive in that remote and barren area, and embarked on the road to a new life..." Cui Hong asked cautiously.

The middle-aged man stood up and stood in front of a thick pillar engraved with cloud patterns. He looked at the garden dotted with pavilions and towers, and a different scene at every step. He said, "Let him live a normal life and take root there. It's enough for him to be rich and peaceful."

Although Cui Hong nodded, he felt it was quite tricky. This matter was easy to handle at the moment, but who knew if there would be trouble in the future.

Before he died, he said, "If he is no longer here and didn't make it, I will bury him properly."

The dignified middle-aged man hummed and signaled that he could leave.

……

The destruction of Jinji Ridge was like a hurricane sweeping across the area, and the villages outside the mountains naturally cheered.

The forces rooted in this area were stunned and shocked, such as some chambers of commerce, mountain patrol teams, and even the alien species in the mountains were alarmed.

"The scene was horrific. I went to see it and saw wild animals snatching food from the victims. Not even a single intact bone was left."

"Gao Yi from Jinjiling, when they collected the protection tax last time, they said that in order to keep us safe, they fought against the aliens in the Great Rift Valley and were almost wiped out. I didn't believe it at the time. But now I am convinced. They kept their word and really wiped out all of them and fed the mutants!"

Some people were mocking, which shows how unpopular Jinjiling was. After learning of their deaths, it was almost impossible not to cheer everywhere.

"Which great hero did this? Please accept my greetings!" someone shouted excitedly.

Many people know that the two big bandits in Jinjiling are four-time newborns. The few people who know the inside story know that there is also an old golden rooster that has mutated five times and is one of the strongest forces in the area.

As a result, they were wiped out overnight.

Some chambers of commerce sent people there, and some experienced mountain rangers also accompanied them.

"There are knife marks, gunshot wounds and arrow holes on the remains of the alien after it ate too much, which means that three powerful men must have worked together to flatten Jinji Ridge." Someone analyzed seriously.

A ranger said, "The one who used the knife must be a master. There was not a single crack on the bone he cut, and the cross section was as smooth as a mirror. The one who used the spear was also very capable. The force of each spear was the same, and the holes in the bones looked like they were carefully polished. The archer must be the weakest among the three. Although his accuracy was terrifying and he shot and killed most of the bandits by himself, the strength of his arms was less than two thousand kilograms."

When Qin Ming heard this comment, he was speechless.

After learning about this, some larger organizations also began to pay attention to this matter.

Because there are gold thieves behind Jinjiling, the latter's activities are extremely wide, spanning a vast area, and are not limited to the area radiating from Chixia City.

Now someone showed no respect to them and wiped out one of their strongholds.

Later, some hidden secrets were uncovered. It was found that not all the people in Jinjiling were killed. Two survivors went out that night and escaped the disaster.

The two men had already gone to join the gold thieves, but before leaving they spread the message.

"Our leader died tragically. When we returned to the mountain stronghold, we heard their shouts from afar. They mentioned the city lord and the mountain protector from outsiders."

At this point, this case seems to have surfaced, and many people have guesses in their minds.

Then news came from the aliens that the new Lord of Chixia City, Meng Xinghai, had passed by this place that night and went into the mountain to meet the old Lord of the mountain.

Afterwards, someone in Qingsong Town also claimed that they saw a man from outside the world and two mountain protectors in golden armor checking into the inn that night.

"This new city lord is very powerful. You have to be careful when dealing with him in the future."

"The outsiders are also in trouble? Well, there is news that Meng Xinghai once walked with a woman in feathered clothes. It seems that they are the ones."

Some organizations are thinking about this matter. They don't care about the life or death of Jinjiling, but are studying what kind of person the new city lord Meng Xinghai is.

Li Qingyue was also paying attention, wanting to know the reason why Cui Chonghe did this and the consequences it caused. She never thought that the "melon" would fall on her head.

She was an eyewitness and knew who committed the crime, but she was wrongly accused.

The most crucial thing is that even Meng Xinghai was blamed. It was believed by all parties that the new city lord was extremely powerful and difficult to get along with. The new official might make three big moves upon taking office and might target the gold thief.

"Uncle Meng, I'm so sorry. You helped me go to the Black and White Mountains to get the Yin-Yang Elixir, but people misunderstood you..." Li Qingyue looked apologetic.

Destroying Jinjiling was a small matter, they deserved to be killed, but causing all parties to misjudge Meng Xinghai's character and subsequent actions would have a significant impact.

Meng Xinghai was dressed in green, and looked to be about 37 or 38 years old. Although he looked like a scholar, his words were very strong. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. City Lord Lingxu and I have corresponded and discussed before. Originally, he wanted to lure the gold thieves to appear in Jinji Ridge and hunt them down. I also want to do this, and I am not afraid of misjudgment by all parties."

Then he added: "What I got from the mountain master was the branches of the black and white tree. Ling Xu also has roots. I will get a copy for you later."

"Thank you, Uncle Meng."

"Why are you being polite to me? Actually, this kind of thing can be solved by your family or your master with just one word." Li Qingyue shook her head and said, "The Yin-Yang Medicine is very important to people outside the world. Now more than one powerful mountain sect is jealous and has written letters to ask for it or is sending people to come. If you are a step late, you may fall behind and make a wasted trip."

Meng Xinghai said: "Your path is enviable and truly brilliant. Other paths are incomparable. In a few years, you may catch up with me."

……

The destruction of Jinjiling had an impact on all aspects, with different reactions from large organizations to local forces.

For example, the Three Eyes Cult, contrary to their usual behavior, actually sent people to various villages to inquire whether there were any alien creatures wreaking havoc nearby and that they could help get rid of them. Their attitude was extremely nice.

They even sent food and provided relief to several villages with the most difficult conditions.

Everyone’s first reaction was that the Three-Eyed Cult was crazy. It would have been fine if they didn’t exploit people, but why did they even provide aid?

Soon, people realized that the local Three-Eyed Sect leaders had become cowardly and were afraid of following in the footsteps of Jinjiling and being destroyed. They now wanted to gain some good reputation to protect themselves.

"Let me tell you, the hero who flattened the Golden Rooster Ridge that day was someone else. He rode on a purple lightning beast and held a sky-breaking spear. He was really heroic and single-handedly wiped out the group of bandits and killed the old golden rooster. He also came to our Qingsong Town and scared all the members of the Three-Eyed Cult so much that they ran away overnight."

Finally, someone revealed a very reliable piece of information, but it was difficult to dig deeper because all the clues had long been lost.

Some people tried to contact the aliens, but when they heard that they wanted to inquire about the purple lightning beast, some mountain monsters turned hostile on the spot and didn't want to get involved at all.

People realized that the purple lightning beast had a great origin.

"I'm so angry. This shit isn't over yet, is it? Is it going to become a part of my dark history?" In the mountains, the purple electric beast was furious. He called the white owl again and asked if there was any clue about the outsider. If not, he should send more people immediately.

Owl said: "Black and White Mountain is not our home ground after all, so it will take time to investigate."

……

Qin Ming has been practicing the Yellow Mud Palm. He has not only achieved initial success, but has reached a certain level. When the soft force is running and the skylight force bursts out, it is extremely terrifying.

He found a wild buffalo for testing, and with a light tap of his right hand, the flesh, internal organs, and bones under the tough hide were quickly destroyed and smashed to pieces.

"It's not suitable for sparring. There will be casualties if we fight." Qin Ming said to himself.

What he was most looking forward to was the Yellow Mud Palm that was integrated with the essence of the earth. That was the unique skill he wanted to master.

Before leaving, Qin Ming wanted to find one or two more ancient books, so he asked Old Man Liu to help him look for them. There was indeed a declining family, but the price they asked for was too high. After knowing that the Wu family had received fifteen pieces of daytime gold, they asked for fifty pieces of daytime gold.

"Please ask what kind of Tianguang Jin his family has."

Old Man Liu said, "No need to ask, everyone knows it's Nail Power, it's really powerful, but the price is too high."

"Even if they lower the price to one day gold, I won't even look at it!" Qin Ming said.

He felt a little emotional. As expected, there were only a limited number of secret books in this remote place, with only a few of them circulating. He had already mastered the so-called nail strength, which was the strength that the bearded man in the sword manual who wrote "I wish I could master the Tathagata strength" had found after going through untold hardships.

Two days later, Qin Ming was preparing for a long journey. He didn't want to disturb too many people, so before leaving, he came to the yard next door.

After Lu Ze ate the fire snake meat, not only did his injuries recover extremely quickly, but he was also reborn for the first time.

Qin Ming told him that there was a fire snake that had mutated twice frozen in his cellar. He should remember to eat it before spring. If its potential was not too bad, it might be able to be reborn again.

Qin Ming brought back two big snakes and six small snakes. He didn't even finish eating the big snake. He also gave some of the meat soup to Old Man Liu to help him heal his injuries.

Lu Ze and his wife were shocked and suddenly understood who had destroyed the patrol team.

"Xiao Qin, are you really leaving?!" They were reluctant to let you go.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "I want to go and take a look far away."

"Uncle, will you come back?" Wen Rui wiped her tears and hugged him not wanting to let go.

Wenhui, who was just over two years old, couldn't speak very fluently yet, but he knew he was about to leave, so he looked up and called out "uncle" incoherently.

"They will be back." Qin Ming touched the two children's heads.

Before leaving, he handed some handwritten skills to Lu Ze, asking him to practice them well so that he could teach them to Wen Rui in the future.

"Practice Harmonizing with the Light and Dust first. If you are reborn again in a short period of time, it can help cover it up for you."

Qin Ming did not let them see him off. He disappeared outside the village at an extremely fast speed, carrying the mutton-fat jade iron knife on his back.

Old Liu and others were waiting in the snow in the distance, and came here specially to see us off.

At the same time, a huge bird of prey carrying Cui Hong and a young man in gorgeous clothes penetrated the night fog, crossed the vast land, and came to the area of ​​Black and White Mountains. After circling for a long circle, it slowly landed in the snow outside Yinteng Town.

Some book friends said that Cui Chongxuan had mastered the Tianguang Jin at the age of thirteen, and they thought it was wrong. There is nothing wrong with this, as it was briefly mentioned in Chapter 55.
