Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Whether it's a martial artist or a sorcerer, true qi has no attributes.

Warlocks are simply more compatible with certain attributes of the True Qi team and can more easily mobilize certain attribute energies existing in the surrounding area.

As for the additional attributes of true qi, there are only two possibilities. One is that it comes with the cultivation technique itself, but such techniques are extremely rare, at least in the current martial arts world, they are practically priceless.

One way is to reach the Grandmaster level, because true qi is attached to the body, which is a necessary path for a Grandmaster to become a Grandmaster.

In the eyes of the four, given that his attributes were so powerful and he was able to kill the young master, the latter possibility was obviously more likely.

"Walk."

The leading disciple wiped the sweat from his face. "Return to the base and send a message to the sect."

The four people came quickly and left quickly.

As soon as the fog rolled in, the alley was deserted.

Two hours later, an elder arrived at the Mirage's temporary stronghold in Beihai City.

It was called a stronghold, but it was actually just an inconspicuous old house in the west of the city.

On the surface, it appears to be a business dealing in dried seafood, but its backyard is a hidden gem.

The elder's surname was Qi. He was over sixty years old, with gray hair and few wrinkles on his face. He looked gloomy.

He also wore a jade bracelet on his wrist, but it was thicker and darker in color than the ones worn by his disciples, almost bluish-black.

After listening to the report from the leading disciple, Elder Qi did not speak immediately.

He had someone lead him to the site again, and it was still the same wall.

Elder Qi stood in the alley and walked back and forth three times.

Finally, he walked to the base of the wall and, instead of squatting down like the disciples, gently tapped a few stone bricks with his toes.

Then he stretched out his right hand, palm facing the misty shadow at the base of the wall.

Without using the jade bracelet, he directly probed with his divine sense.

A moment later, he suddenly jerked his wrist and took half a step back.

It was as if something exploded in the air, extremely slightly, but the mist within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) was pushed aside by a silent wave, scattering to both sides in unison.

Elder Qi looked at his palm and saw that a small patch of skin in the center had turned a pale gold color, as if it had been dusted with gold powder.

After a few breaths, the color slowly faded, but a burning pain still lingered in my palm.

He clenched his fist, tucked the hand into his sleeve, and spoke in a deep voice that sounded like it was being squeezed from the depths of his throat.

"I can't investigate. The other party's cultivation level far surpasses mine. The aura he left behind is extremely yang and intense, clashing with the illusory mist. When I tried to trace it with my divine sense, I was backfired by his true energy."

He paused, then added, "To leave such marks, one must be at least in the late stage of the True Person Realm, or even higher."

The disciples turned pale upon hearing this.

"Elder, then wouldn't the other party be...?"

"If the speculation is true, this person is beyond our ability to handle."

Elder Qi took a deep breath. "We must consult the Master!"

He didn't linger in the alley. The other party was capable of killing the young master and could turn against his spying ability, so their cultivation level was at least at the late True Person Realm, while he himself was only at the early True Person Realm.

With such a disparity, if faced head-on, even escaping would be difficult.

Fortunately, the Mirage's greatest strength has never been direct confrontation.

That evening, Elder Qi used the mirage's unique communication tool to contact the building's master.

The message was delivered in a short time, but Elder Qi adopted an extremely humble attitude.

Through the misty air, the poster's voice sounded like it came from the deep seabed, muffled and heavy.

"Your judgment is correct."

After listening, the poster remained silent for a while before speaking, "If you act rashly, none of the Mirage's people in Beihai will return."

"OP, what should we do?"

The host did not answer immediately when Elder Qi asked the question.

About five breaths later, the voice came again, "The Void Aperture Body is still in the Xu family. Take some men and tie him up and take him back to the back mountain."

Elder Qi was taken aback. "You mean... lure them to the back of the Mirage Mountain?"

"Since he dared to kill my son, he should have the guts to come back."

The original poster's voice was calm and devoid of any emotion. "If he comes to the back mountain, I will meet him in person!"

After hanging up the message, Elder Qi sat in his chair for a long time, having understood the meaning of the host.

The Xu family had no experts, so tying up the woman with the Void Aperture Body didn't take much effort.

If you take the person away, the other party will naturally come after you.

Once they reach the back of the Mirage Mountain, it becomes their home turf.

There are fog formations, restrictions, and illusionary killing formations set up by successive leaders of the tower.

Once the other party enters the back mountain, even if he is in the late stage of the True Person Realm, he may not be able to come out alive.

Elder Qi still felt a little uneasy.

Since the opponent can counteract the fog, could they also break the illusion array in the back mountain?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suppressed it.

The level of cultivation of the original poster is beyond my comprehension.

Since the original poster said they would meet him in person, then this person's fate is probably nearing its end.

Immediately after the communication was interrupted, Elder Qi led five disciples in two groups to sneak towards the Xu residence.

He was cautious by nature and did not go directly into the mansion.

Instead, he first sent a disciple skilled in stealth to scale the wall and circle around Xu Ran's courtyard.

The disciple returned and reported that apart from a few servants and Xu Yi, no martial artist's aura was detected in the manor. Only then did Elder Qi order his men to take action.

When Xu Yi woke up, there were already three gray-robed men standing in the room.

He tried to shout, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

Qi Chang waved his hand, and two disciples behind him walked to the bedside and pulled Xu Ran out of the quilt.

Xu Ran was sleeping so soundly that when she was lifted up, her head was limp and her hair was disheveled.

Xu Yi was so anxious that his eyes almost bled, and he struggled desperately, but the restraints on his body were like iron hoops, binding him so tightly that he couldn't even move a finger.

Elder Qi walked up to Xu Ran, glanced down at her, and said, "A person with an empty aperture body is not an ordinary being. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame your own incompetence!"

"We've taken your daughter away. If you want to save her, tell the person who killed the young master that we're waiting for him behind the Mirage Tower."

Another disciple took out a thin piece of gray paper and threw it at Xu Yi.

The location of the back mountain was drawn on the paper, and the ink was formed by gray mist, which felt like a layer of water vapor to the touch.

Once Xu Yi was able to move, the gray-robed man was nowhere to be seen in the room.

The window was open, and the fog outside was terrifyingly thick, pouring into the room through the window, making it bitterly cold.

Xu Yi rolled off the bed, staggered out of the room, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help!"

The entire Xu mansion was in chaos, with servants scattered and running around.

Xu Yi ran to the front hall with disheveled hair, his hands trembling as he reached for his phone.

He swiped his finger across the screen several times before finally getting through.

"Xu—"

Chu Nan answered the phone, but before he could even address him, Xu Yi's anxious voice came through the receiver, "Chu Nan... Xiao Ran... Xiao Ran has been taken away by them!"

"Speak slowly, don't panic!"

As Chu Nan spoke, he began to put on his clothes.

Xu Yi choked up as he said, "They froze me; I couldn't move at all. I could only watch helplessly as Xiao Ran was taken away!"

Chu Nan asked, "Did those people leave any message before they kidnapped Xiao Ran?"

"They said they wanted to save Xiao Ran, so they want you to go find them behind the Mirage Mountain!"
