Chapter 163 Infiltrating to Rescue People

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Ning immediately sensed that Bao Weijing had arrived.

Xu Ning casually put away the alchemy furnace and then put on his mask.

"Come in."

Xu Ning spoke to the person outside the door.

The door opened, and Bao Weijing walked in.

After closing the door, he bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

"Greetings, Senior Tao!"

The higher Bao Weijing's status rose within the family, the more respectful he became to Xu Ning.

In his view, everything he had received was a gift from Xu Ning. Since Xu Ning had been able to elevate him to this position, he could naturally take it all away with ease.

Moreover, Bao Weijing felt genuine gratitude towards Xu Ning.

Besides this help, Xu Ning had also saved his life twice.

"Have you reached the state of mental arousal?"

Xu Ning discovered that Bao Weijing's strength had improved again.

Although this is largely due to his own elixirs, it also shows that Bao Weijing has considerable talent.

If placed within the Yue Lan Sect, with proper training, one would at least become an elite inner disciple.

"It is all thanks to Senior Tao's elixirs that I have been able to make such progress."

Bao Weijing was humble.

"Senior Tao..."

Bao Weijing stepped forward: "Recently, my strength has improved rapidly, which has made me valued by the family head and elevated my status within the family. Now, I am qualified to participate in the family's decision-making meetings. There are also quite a few people secretly siding with me, wanting to help me obtain the position of family head's successor."

"Oh?"

This went even more smoothly than Xu Ning had imagined.

Xu Ning initially helped Bao Weijing with the intention of promoting him to a high-ranking position in the Bao family, infiltrating him, and then targeting the Bao family.

Xu Ning originally thought the process would take longer, but she didn't expect it to be effective so soon.

"Well done."

Xu Ning praised Bao Weijing.

Although it was just a short sentence, Bao Weijing seemed very pleased.

"Senior Tao, I received some information during yesterday's family meeting."

Bao Weijing said, "The patriarch, clan elders, and Fang Jie, the true disciple of the Yuelan Sect, all participated in this meeting."

"Among them, I learned that Bao Ruyuan, an elite member of the family and a true disciple of the Yuelan Sect, has died. Fang Jie came here to deliver this message. Moreover, before returning to the Yuelan Sect, Fang Jie will take some outstanding family members with him to become outer or inner disciples of the Yuelan Sect."

Xu Ning's expression remained unchanged, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he asked in return, "Your talent is quite good. If you can enter the Yue Lan Sect, you'll be more than qualified to be an inner disciple."

"I do not intend to join the Yuelan Sect. I only hope to serve you, senior."

Bao Weijing spoke respectfully at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning smiled but remained silent.

Upon hearing this, Bao Weijing continued, "Besides this, there is another matter that concerns you, senior."

"The death of the family elder Bao Xinxuan made the eldest elder Bao Qiuhua feel threatened. She felt that someone was targeting the Bao family. So she persuaded Fang Jie to stay and help find the person who killed Bao Xinxuan and then take care of him."

Bao Weijing glanced at Xu Ning, a hint of concern in his eyes: "Senior Tao, Fang Jie's strength is said to be at the eighth level of the Void Realm. You must be careful."

Besides concern, Bao Weijing also felt a touch of curiosity at this moment.

Because the elder of the clan, Bao Qiuhua, possessed the strength of the sixth level of the Void Realm, she dared not face Xu Ning, who had killed Bao Xinxuan, on her own and had to rely on the even stronger Fang Jie for help.

This made Bao Weijing doubt Xu Ning's strength once again.

Previously, Bao Weijing thought Xu Ning might be a martial artist at the fourth level of the Void Realm, but now it seems that he is already a terrifying existence at the seventh or even eighth level of the Void Realm.

"To deduce my true strength simply by attacking Bao Xinxuan, it must have been Fang Jie who discovered it..."

When Xu Ning made his move, he only used his true energy, but Fang Jie still managed to deduce it.

"Bao Qiuhua was able to persuade Fang Jie to become her accomplice, so she must have paid a considerable price. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Dao Seal..."

Xu Ning also sorted out this matter.

"What are their plans to deal with me?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"have."

Seeing that Xu Ning remained calm even after hearing about the enemy being an eighth-level Void Realm martial artist, Bao Weijing was certain of his suspicions: this Senior Tao must be a high-level Void Realm martial artist.

"Bao Qiuhua has deduced that your actions are aimed at the entire Bao family, so they plan to use an important figure in the Bao family as bait to lure you out."

Bao Weijing continued in detail: "Five days from now, the family will send the patriarch and several elders at the Void Realm, along with the younger generation of family elites, out on an expedition. Before that, this news will be spread, deliberately to lure you into a trap. They believe that this will make you feel compelled to destroy the core of the Bao family."

"At the same time, Fang Jie will secretly follow you and make his move once you show yourself."

Xu Ning nodded; the plan did seem reasonable.

Will Bao Qiuhua also participate in the operation?

Xu Ning pressed for an answer.

"She will not participate; she will remain at the Bao residence."

Bao Weijing was certain: "She seems to have something very important to do, but she didn't reveal the specifics."

"I see..."

After understanding everything, Xu Ning pondered for a while.

"Well done."

Xu Ning said, "I already have a plan for what to do next."

"These are the pills I recently prepared for you."

Xu Ning then tossed out a bunch of porcelain bottles, containing pills he had recently casually refined for Bao Weijing.

"Senior Tao, there's really no need..."

Bao Weijing was somewhat flattered: "I haven't finished taking all the pills you gave me before..."

"It's alright, you can increase the dosage, which will further accelerate your training."

Xu Ning never expected that Bao Weijing's family status would rise so quickly by donating such a large amount of medicine.

The more this is the case, the more Bao Weijing needs strength to back him up.

"Then I'll accept it..."

Although it wasn't the first time Bao Weijing had received a pill from Xu Ning, he was still overjoyed.

He knew very well that the pills Xu Ning had given him were of extremely high quality.

Despite having almost no side effects, its enhancement effect is in no way inferior to those pills that deplete one's potential.

"Go back and strive to advance to the Spirit Realm as soon as possible. I will also find a way to help you obtain the status of the family heir."

Xu Ning made a promise.

"Yes."

Bao Weijing left.

"This Bao Weijing has been put to good use..."

Xu Ning pondered, "Since Bao Qiuhua wants to lure me out with bait, I will do the opposite. Instead of attacking her family's core members who are away, I will go directly to Bao's headquarters."

"With Fang Jie gone, dealing with Bao Qiuhua and rescuing the three Wei family members shouldn't be difficult."

Xu Ning knew that he would soon achieve his goal in Jingli Mansion.

……

Five days later.

By this time, news had already spread that the core members of the Bao family had gone out to visit other powerful clans, and they had left Jingli Mansion in a grand and imposing manner.

Xu Ning was not fooled, and instead took advantage of the night to go to the Bao family's house.

"As expected, Fang Jie and the core members of the Bao family were no longer in the mansion; even Bao Weijing had left with them..."

After carefully exploring the Bao residence, Xu Ning had already located Bao Qiuhua's position.

"Is she in an underground chamber or a prison cell...? And beside her, there are three familiar auras... It's the three members of the Wei family!"

Xu Ning's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed over.

at this time.

Inside the underground prison cell.

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were led into a secret room.

By this time, they were already tied to the rack.

The three people were pale and looked exhausted.

They had experienced this scenario far too many times before.

Each time, they would bleed a lot under these circumstances.

Ta-ta-ta.

Light footsteps approached.

A gaunt old woman with a gloomy expression walked in.

At this moment, she bent over, carrying a stone tablet on her shoulder, and entered the secret chamber.

It was Bao Qiuhua.

Upon seeing Bao Qiuhua walk in, Wei Changqing and the other two all looked surprised and suspicious.

Previously, when they had their blood drawn, it was always the guards who did it, but this time an old woman came instead.

They also knew this old woman.

Because it was she who kidnapped the three of them and placed them in such a desperate situation.

"It's you!"

Upon recognizing Bao Qiuhua, Wei Changqing's pupils contracted.

"Senior, could you spare our lives?"

Upon seeing this, Wei Changqing immediately pleaded.

The guards I had dealt with before were all minor figures; I was just taking their blood in a routine manner.

The old woman was definitely the decision-maker. If they could get her to agree to let the three go, then there would be hope of survival.

"Senior, we are direct descendants of the Wei family of Feiyun Prefecture. If you are willing to let us return, our family will surely reward you with ample treasures!"

Wei Changqing quickly replied.

"Oh……"

Bao Qiuhua's smile was unsettling: "What could possibly be more precious than a Dao Seal?"

"The Dao Seal?"

Although it wasn't the first time they had heard the term, Wei Changqing and the others were still confused.

At their current level of understanding, they have no idea what the Dao Seal is.

"Senior, you don't need to release me, even releasing my nephew and niece would be..."

Wei Changqing wanted to speak, but Bao Qiuhua pointed her finger and sent three streams of true energy into their bodies. They immediately felt their bodies go limp and could no longer speak.

"Stop struggling..."

Bao Qiuhua's voice was hoarse: "Don't worry, after this, your suffering will be over."

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were initially bewildered, but then filled with fear.

They understood what Bao Qiuhua meant; this was their last blood draw.

After this blood draw, they will lose their lives.

Wei Changqing and the other two were in great pain, but Bao Qiuhua was in a good mood.

After today, the Dao Seal will be completely unsealed.

Although it will eventually become Fang Jie's possession, I have enough time to observe it before that.

After observing, I, who had been stuck in the Form Realm for a long time, had a real chance to advance to the Seal Realm.

"The Dao Seal is about to be unsealed!"

Bao Qiuhua's fingertips swung fiercely, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Thank you to Mr. Wang, Brother Kuigege, and Brother Sanmei Daoren for the generous donations!
