After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 171 Panel [12th update, please vote with double monthly tickets!]

After leaving the residence of Madam Li and the others, Qi Sheng went straight to the central cave in the first layer of the array and found Shangguan Rou.

This Lady Shangguan was beautiful, with an ethereal sadness in her eyes that made her even more pitiful. She was originally a middle-aged beauty with a head of beautiful, black hair, but in just two short years, it had turned completely white, which was truly heartbreaking.

However, his full head of silver hair was not unattractive; on the contrary, it added to his charm. But in this formation, apart from Qi Sheng, no one else could appreciate it.

At this time.

Shangguan Rou was meditating and cultivating her Qi on a futon in the central cave when she saw Qi Sheng arrive. She gracefully rose to greet him, saying, "Sect Leader, True Person."

Qi Sheng said, "Madam Shangguan, there's no need for such formalities."

He looked at Shangguan Rou, who was once known as the "Sword of White Snow," and sighed, "What's done is done. People have to move on. Does Madam Shangguan really intend to grow old alone in this desolate array?"

Shangguan Rou smiled gently and said, "I am not lonely here. The sect leader added many restrictions to this array, which can manifest more than a hundred scenic spots of Changwei Mountain. Although I do not leave the house, I can still enjoy the spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Qi Sheng said, "In the end, it's just like trying to see the moon's reflection in water."

He looked at Shangguan Rou, unable to bear it any longer: "Why should one punish oneself for the sins of others in this lifetime?"

Shangguan Rou shook her head, unwilling to discuss these matters. She asked Qi Sheng, "What are your orders, Sect Leader?"

Seeing this, Qi Sheng stopped talking about it and returned to the main topic: "I would like to trouble you, Madam, to take care of the six people, including Old Madam Li, who arrived a few days ago. If they do anything unusual, please come and tell me immediately."

Surveillance?

Shangguan Rou was slightly surprised, but did not ask any questions. She simply nodded and said, "I will definitely keep an eye on it."

Qi Sheng quickly thanked him.

In the past two years, with Shangguan Rou overseeing the first layer of the array for him, she has been diligently watching over the entrances and exits of the Four Symbols Sword Sect. She has never made a mistake and has earned Qi Sheng's trust.

After giving the instructions,

Qi Sheng went to find Jing Gu again and told her about the strange things that happened today: "The old lady and the others have been here for several days, and 'Songshan One Cave Ghost' has not made a move until today when I showed up and immediately launched an attack on Qingzhu Lake. It is too coincidental."

Jinggu's face turned ugly: "Is there a mole?"

Qi Sheng said, "It's highly likely that an insider tipped me off. Once they saw me and confirmed that I was at Changwei Mountain, they tried to kidnap my mother-in-law to force me to submit."

Jinggu wasn't stupid either: "I actually had my suspicions too. The entire Wang family was wiped out. How could that 'Songshan One Cave Ghost' be such an old devil, yet he let my mother and all the other old women and children go? Now that I think about it, it is indeed strange."

but--

"My mother."

"Sister-in-law."

“Xuanfu, Zengqi”.

"Hong'er, Qing'er."

Jinggu frowned: "Who is the mole?"

The old lady has lost her husband and son, so it must not be her.

Lady Qin is widowed, so it must not be that.

Wang Xuanfu lost both his father and grandfather, so he must not have done so.

Wang Hong'er and Wang Qing'er are the same as above, so they must not be.

Then there is only——

"Zeng Qi?!"

Jinggu suddenly looked up.

Qi Sheng said, "At present, she is indeed more suspicious."

But when he went to deliver the body, he paid close attention to Zeng Qi's reaction, and it didn't seem like her. Of course, it's also possible that she hid it very well, but Zeng Qi has a slightly round face and a very sweet appearance. She doesn't seem like a person with such a deep mind.

Qi Sheng asked Jing Gu, "Who is Zeng Qi's family? How did she end up marrying into the Wang family?"

Jinggu recalled: "Two thousand miles away from Songxi, there is a Youwu Mountain. In the mountain, there is a Zeng family. The entire family has one or two famous masters. My elder brother has a deep friendship with the current head of the Zeng family and they have agreed to become in-laws."

Their identities and backgrounds are all clean.

If she were a mole who framed Han Fu, there's only one possibility: unless a close relative of the Zeng family was held hostage, Zeng Qi might be coerced into betraying Han Fu. But these are all just speculations.

Qi Sheng said to Jing Gu, "Let's leave aside whether it was Zeng Qi or not for now. Pay close attention to them when you're with them these next few days, and subtly inquire whether they're behaving strangely."

He thought for a moment and then said, "In a few days, I will have Madam Shi guard Qingzhu Lake and take Zeng Qi away. You will guard Huoyun Cave and keep an eye on Wang Xuanfu. Also, I will have Madam Shangguan and Third Aunt observe Hong'er and Qing'er for any abnormalities. It's always better to be careful."

Jinggu knew that today was dangerous. If Qi Sheng hadn't made arrangements in advance, Madam Wang would have been poisoned today. If Qi Sheng hadn't been truly capable, he would have been assassinated as well.

One is my younger sister.

One is her lover.

The two nearly lost their lives, and Jinggu was angrier than anyone else.

Not to mention that Zeng Qi was just her niece-in-law, even if it was her two nieces Wang Hong'er and Wang Qing'er, even if it was her nephew Wang Xuanfu, or even her sister-in-law Madam Qin, no matter who the mole was, she would not forgive anyone who dared to harm the two people closest to her!
Moreover, Jinggu knew very well that it was precisely because they were all her family members that Qisheng held back and conducted a covert investigation. If it were anyone else, they would have already taken them all down and investigated them thoroughly, even killing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.

They only showed leniency because he was a member of the Wang family.

Qi Sheng showed mercy.

Jinggu secretly resolved: 'I must get to the bottom of this!'

……

After giving instructions to Madam Shangguan.

I spoke with Jinggu.

Qi Sheng immediately returned to the fifth layer of the array diagram. This was originally the core area of the Four Phases Sword Sect, where he, the sect leader, resided. However, with the completion of the sixth layer of the array diagram in the past few days, the Four Phases Sword Sect expanded another twenty miles to the north, and his sect leader's residence could also be moved one layer further north.

"Six floors in two years."

"At this rate, in another ten years or so, we can lay down fifty layers of the 'Great Evolution Array Diagram,' which will cover the entire Changwei Mountain for thousands of miles."

Qi Sheng longed for that kind of scene.

Right now.

Under the cover of the six-layer array, the Four Symbols Sword Sect was impenetrable; even three or five top experts working together would not be able to break in.

Furthermore, the six-layered array continuously gathers spiritual energy from all directions, making the sect a blessed land for cultivation. Cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort, no less so than Qi Sheng's Jade Well Peak and Penholder Peak in the Netherworld Sect.

The foundation of a great school of thought has been initially laid.

The next step is to continuously cultivate internal strength and accumulate external skills until one day he can rival the Netherworld Sect, which will be Qi Sheng's first small goal.

……

This is the situation of the Four Phases Sword Sect in the past two years.
