Hidden moth

Chapter 166: The Cold Light Does Not Relax

Controlling objects with consciousness sounds magical, but for many modern people, it has long been fascinated. Regardless of whether you have seen it in real life, it is everywhere in various literary and film and television works. Isn't it just like controlling objects with telekinesis?
Judging from He Kao's current cultivation level, this "telekinesis" is still very weak and difficult to reach far. If it is just throwing an ordinary stone, it is not as strong as throwing it with the hand. At most, the flight trajectory can be controlled by spiritual consciousness.

If that were the case, it might not even be possible to break Ren Zhongqing's defense.

Ren Zhongqing also mastered the spiritual sense. When he was escaping, he was aware of the situation behind him and could easily dodge. Even if he couldn't dodge, he could kick the stone away with a kick.

When faced with harmful and malicious attacks, Ren Zhongqing may also have telepathic perception.

Why did He Kao make such a judgment? Because he himself had it. This is called estimating the enemy's weakness.

After mastering the control of objects, He Kao discovered that all kinds of things seemed to have "affinity for spiritual consciousness", and the almost natural magical weapon like Xue Guanghan had a 100% affinity for spiritual consciousness.

He happened to carry Xue Guanghan with him. Although he had not yet mastered the method of refining weapons, he could refine his spirituality by communicating with him through his spiritual consciousness on a daily basis, in preparation for future refining.

Seeing that Ren Zhongqing was about to escape from Guanyinshan Park, the most useful treasure on him was this bead. He threw it with all his strength and controlled its trajectory with his spiritual sense. It was much faster than throwing ordinary objects and was very concealed.

What's even more amazing is that He Kao deliberately made this hidden weapon harmless. Even if it hits, it would be equivalent to a light flick on the head... Ren Zhongqing's spiritual perception did not detect any danger.

Why did He Kao recite that mental formula? It was to restrain his murderous intent, and out of a "kind" desire to nourish the other person's Qi and blood. He had only just begun to master the magical power of Xue Guanghan, and he could only do so little.

As for who taught him, you should ask the immortal Tan in the painting.

Although Ren Zhongqing was a third-level sorcerer, he probably had never heard of a treasure like Xue Guanghan, and he never imagined that someone would use it as a locust stone, not to hit people, but to help them...

He Kao retracted Xue Guanghan, glanced at Ren Zhongqing lying on the ground, straightened his chest and raised his head as if looking around, thinking to himself: That's it? This Ren Zhongqing is too easy, he pinned him down without any effort!
When He Kao suddenly encountered Ren Zhongqing on the street, he was quite nervous. The first thing he wanted to do was to calm this person down and then call for help.

The disciples of the seven major martial arts sects each have their own strengths. For example, the disciples of the Wangqi Sect are not very good at fighting, while the disciples of the Xinpan Sect are known to be the best at fighting and are best at face-to-face combat.

What about the disciples of the Yin E Sect? They excel at poisoning, lurking, sneak attacks, and assassinations. In short, they prioritize the unexpected when doing anything sinister, avoiding direct confrontation and engaging in extended struggles with their opponents.

If they let loose and engaged in a head-on fight, conventional wisdom would dictate that their methods would be inferior to those of the Xinpan Sect disciples. Therefore, He Kao had previously been very wary of Ren Zhongqing, but after their actual exchange, he discovered that—nothing special!

But then he thought again, he shouldn't be too arrogant. Ren Zhongqing had only just broken through the third realm and wasn't much of a master. Ren Zhongqing had run away after the fight. If he hadn't run away, He Kao couldn't guarantee he would win.

He Kao kicked Ren Zhongqing on the ground twice again, using such skillful force that he dislocated both his left and right shoulder joints.

By this time, Ren Zhongqing had already woken up. His previous coma was actually very short, and he was awakened by the pain. He struggled to sit up but found that he could no longer lift his arms. He Kao broke off a branch and pointed it at his throat.

"Why? I clearly left on my own initiative, why are you still chasing me?" Ren Zhongqing looked up and asked.

He Kao: "Thinking about what happened to Jinluyuan, how can I let you go? How dare I let you go?"

At this moment, a man came up from the foot of the mountain. He seemed to have floated out from the shadows of the trees, and his position was blocking the direction in which Ren Zhongqing had just escaped. If He Kao had not knocked Ren Zhongqing down, he would have been intercepted by this man.

He Kao looked up and said, "Old Qian, I've already taken care of everything, and you just showed up! Why didn't you take action when I called you just now?"

Qian Guran: "Are you going to do it in the neighborhood? There are all those grandpas and grandmas and cats and dogs! And I see you are so powerful, you can definitely handle it by yourself."

He Kao said modestly, "Actually, this guy is quite formidable. If he hadn't been so intent on escaping, I might not have been able to win."

Qian Guran: "He is already weak and it is not unfair for him to lose to you."

He Kao: "What you said sounds like a judge's speech, you sound like a master!"

Qian Guran pocketed the gold paperweight in his hand and said, "I am just at a higher level. If we really have to fight, I can only rely on my magic weapon to crush you with my cultivation."

He Kao inexplicably felt that Lao Qian's action was very funny, because such gold bars could not be put into ordinary trouser pockets, otherwise they might hit his feet directly. His trousers must be specially made.

Although the money was used to buy He Kao's pair of gold paperweights, which weighed twenty pounds, they have now been asked to be refined into rough pieces of magic weapons. The pair has been combined into one, and the size has also become much smaller, but the plum branch pattern is still retained, with one branch on each side.

I received a message from He Kao today, and he also came with his magic weapon, but unexpectedly he witnessed this scene in secret.

The two men were talking animatedly, but they ignored Ren Zhongqing, as if he didn't exist. Ren Zhongqing couldn't help but shout, "What do you two want? You can kill me or chop me up, as you please. If you have any further questions, feel free to tell me!"

Lao Qian was very straightforward and slapped him in the face: "Do you have the right to speak?"

Ren Zhongqing, who had just woken up, was knocked unconscious again by the slap. Qian Guran also hit him with a few more slaps to block the flow of his spirit and energy meridians.

He Kao asked, "How should we deal with this man?" Qian Guran replied, "The clan law hall has issued a martial arts order, confirming that he must be executed by all under heaven. In principle, it doesn't matter if he's dead or alive. Even if we kill him, it won't matter. At least the sect won't pursue the matter. But it would be better to capture him alive and hand him over to the clan law hall."

He Kao: "How do I pay?"

Qian Guran: "Jianghu Ling has the contact information. Let them know and three deacons will come to handle it. If you can't take care of it, you can give the person to me first. I will find someone to temporarily guard him. I estimate that the three deacons will be here tomorrow."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If it's Deacon Wei, just make a phone call and he'll probably be here in a short while."

The three deacons appointed by the Zongfa Hall to investigate the matter are Wei Luo, a fifth-level inquirer from Lingxi Sect, Yu Shangzheng, a fifth-level Jianghu person from Xinpan Sect, and Gong Xiaodong, a fifth-level incantator from Guanshen Sect.

Among them, Wei Luo is an acquaintance of He Kao, and Yu Shangzheng seems to have a grudge against him because his son Yu Lianhong died in Happy Valley Amusement Park.

The investigation by the clan law hall has concluded, and everything has been clarified. Otherwise, the Jianghu Order would not have been officially issued. Wei Luo has returned to Qiyuan City. She is still working here, so it will be quick for her to come here.

He Kao: "Then I have a favor to ask of you. Get me out of here, and all the credit goes to you. Just say that you were the one who captured Ren Zhongqing."

Qian Guran was stunned, and pointed at Ren Zhongqing on the ground and said, "Then you have to kill him. If I hand him over alive, won't he tell?"

He Kao shook his head and said, "No, I'll hand him over alive. Tell the deacons what you saw, and then convey my request. I hope that when the clan law hall announces this matter to the public, they won't mention my name, and just say that it was you who caught the murderer."

Qian Guran frowned and said, "Those three deacons can't make the decision on this matter. It has to be decided by the elders of the clan law hall."

He Kao: "Then let the elders decide. Anyway, this is my request."

Qian Guran suddenly understood and nodded, "Okay, let's do as you wish. It seems that some of your circumstances are not convenient. I believe the clan law hall can understand."

He Kao: "Thank you!"

Qian Guran smiled and said, "You called me over today not to help with the fight, but because you have already figured out how to deal with the whole thing?"

He Kao: "That's not the case. I was unsure at first, but now you're here I feel relieved."

Qian Guran: "Where did you learn such good Kung Fu... Forget it, I won't ask if it's inconvenient."

He Kao: "It's not inconvenient at all. These are all Kung Fu tutorials downloaded from the Internet... You know, I encountered some problems last year, so I practiced a few moves afterwards."

Qian Guran's mouth twitched, but he held back and didn't say anything. He saw clearly just now that He Kao had already reached the third level of cultivation, and his Ren Di Ban shape-shifting technique was performed very skillfully.

It's confirmed! He is the secret disciple of Earth Master Gu Chun.

Elder Gu once had two disciples.

The eldest disciple was a gifted man, having already broken through to the fourth level of cultivation. Unfortunately, he met his end unexpectedly. It was rumored that he was killed by the scum of the sect, and it was rumored that Gu Chun was enraged and killed a group of them.

His second disciple is the descendant of an old friend. Gu Chun accepted him mainly to take care of him, but his qualifications are limited. So far, he is only a second-level knight and has not yet broken through to the third level.

In the current Shu sect, Gu Chun is mainly responsible for monitoring the behavior of disciples all over the world. He accepted He Kao as his disciple, probably because he wanted to pass on his teachings in this area.

This was a job that would offend people, so Elder Gu adopted a secret teaching method. Since He Kao was a secret disciple, it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity, so he was asked to come forward to receive the credit...

At this moment, although He Kao said nothing, Qian had already figured out the complete cause and effect in his mind, and even guessed Elder Gu's intention.

Qian Guran asked again, "Xiao Kao, then I'm the one who will collect the reward too?"

He Kao: "Reward, what reward, is there still a reward?"

Qian Guran: "You are not well-informed enough. The reward has already been publicly issued.

The first was a private reward from Jinlu Garden, a bottle of Chunlin Pill. Danding Sect added another in the name of the sect, and Zongfa Hall added another in the name of all the sects, for a total of three bottles of Chunlin Pill.

Why do you think Ren Zhongqing said those words to you just now? He just wanted to tell you that if you help him, you can get the same reward.

If the talks don't break down, he should promise you more benefits, even saying he found the secret cave of a senior master, just to whet your appetite..."

He Kao raised his hand and interrupted him, "No, let me sort it out first!
A while ago, I wanted to ask Senior Lin if I could get a few bottles of Chunlin Pills, but Senior Lin said that no one is making it now. How come it suddenly became available?
