Chapter 61: A Sneeze

  Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking inside is pitch black. After getting used to it visually, it's not that dark after all. You can roughly see the situation inside.

  The cave was not high, just over a meter, and both Ning Yuan and Ouyang Shasha were crouching, carefully moving forward while observing the surroundings of the cave.

  This cave does not seem to be man-made, the stones on the edge all have marks of being washed by waves, and it is very likely that it was formed by mountain water impact.

  The two of them walked forward for about thirty meters, and they could vaguely hear the sound of water. This also confirmed Ning Yuan's previous judgment that there was a water-filled cave inside the mountain, and the spring water outside was seeping out from here.

  Upon hearing the sound of water, Ning Yuan hastily stretched out a hand towards Ouyang Shasha behind him. Both of them slowed down their pace and cautiously moved forward.

  The further they walked, the more spacious the cave in front of them became. It was already wide enough for two people to walk side by side. After walking about ten meters further, both of them could clearly see that the entrance led to a large limestone cave.

  The end of the mountain cave was in mid-air, about 7 or 8 meters above the bottom of the cave. The two people arrived at the entrance and looked down, only to see that there were actually two people standing at the bottom of the cave.

  Two men, both in their fifties, one wearing a suit and tie with a resolute expression on his square face, the other wearing a traditional Chinese tunic, thin and somewhat disreputable-looking, with a giant python coiled behind him, which was exactly the one that Ningyuan had been chasing earlier.

  At this time, the two were standing face to face, about twenty meters apart, and they didn't look very harmonious. They should be in a standoff. The man wearing a suit had his back to Ningyuan and Ouyang Shasha's side, so they couldn't see his face clearly.

  Because they were in a karst cave, separated by more than ten meters, Ning Yuan and Ouyang Shasha could still hear the conversation between the two people. At this time, the one speaking was a middle-aged man wearing a suit.

  As soon as Ning Yuan heard the man's voice, a sly smile spread across his face. It turned out that the middle-aged man in the suit was none other than Fang Donglai of the Sanhe Gang, who had visited him last night.

  "Hmph, Qian Senming, others may not know your true nature, but I, Fang Donglai, am well aware of it. You raise your own pets, earn your own wealth, and even commit murder and arson without my interference. However, my son did nothing to provoke you, yet you killed him. How do you plan to settle this debt?"

  "You, with the surname Fang, don't think I'm afraid of you." Qian Senming's face was gloomy: "My reputation isn't very good, but I, Qian Senming, dare to act and take responsibility. Your son wasn't killed by me, I've said it many times already. Don't misidentify the person, not only will you lose your life, but in the end, you won't even know who your enemy is."

  "It wasn't you who killed him." Fang Donglai sneered, "In the entire Jiang City, there are only a few masters of secret techniques. My son has been in the realm of spiritual introspection for several years now. Besides you, who else would have the ability to kill him?"

  "Haha, Fang, it seems you've made up your mind about me." Qiansen Ming burst out laughing, his previously slightly hunched body suddenly standing straight, pointing at Fang Dong and saying: "Even if I did kill him, what can you do to me? You're just a spirit with an inner refinement boundary. If I could kill your son, why couldn't I kill you? In this place, even if I were to crush your bones into dust, no one from the Sanhe Sect would know."

  Listening to the conversation between the two, Ningyuan was at a loss for words for a moment. This person named Qiansenming was probably hiding in Lianyun Mountain to cultivate some secret method, but he didn't expect to be accidentally discovered by Fang Dong who came to Jiang City.

  Fang Donglai had always been wondering who killed Fang Shoutian, and when he met Qiansen Ming, he directly confirmed that Qiansen Ming was the murderer. The two then confronted each other.

  It turned out that Ningyuan was even more afraid to speak, and at the same time, he took a look at Ouyang Shasha. Both of them were staring intently at what was below, holding their breath.

  According to the time, Fang Donglai should have arrived for a while, and the two had been talking for half a day. At this moment, Qian Senming's sentence was like a spark that ignited Fang Donglai's anger. Fang Donglai's jade ruler drew a line in the air, and he pounced on Qian Senming.

  "Qian Yun Chi!"

  Upon seeing the ruler in Fang Dong's hand, Qian Senming, who had been full of confidence, involuntarily let out a cry of surprise: "No wonder you dared to question me, it turns out you've obtained the Thousand Cloud Ruler."

  "Hmph." Fang Donglai coldly snorted and said: "Since you know Qianyun Chi, that's good. Today I'll let you witness its power."

  This thousand cloud ruler can make Qian Senming astonished, it is a rare and powerful artifact. Fang Donglai was originally a master who had half of his foot in the spiritual realm, with one swing of his arm, a sharp gust of wind shot towards Qian Senming.

  A fierce gust of wind howled in, letting out a loud whistle in the cave, and when it reached near Qian Senming, it suddenly transformed into a black wolf.

  "Hiss!" Kanemori Akira also knew the severity of this yin evil attack, and with a flash to the side, he waved his hand to dissolve the black wolf. At the same time, he took out an unknown object, put it to his mouth, and blew lightly. The giant python that was originally coiled behind him suddenly pounced towards Fang Dong.

  The python's body was enormous and its speed was extremely fast. Within a distance of about 20 meters, it arrived in an instant. Its huge mouth opened wide towards Fang Dong, ready to swallow him whole.

  "Hmph, your little bug can handle others just fine, but it's still a bit lacking when it comes to me." Fang Dong didn't show any fear at all, and with his other hand, he flicked out a handful of powder that covered the giant snake.

  The majestic giant snake, upon encountering the powder sprayed by Fang Dong, let out a "hiss" sound, just like a mouse seeing a cat. Its massive head shook once, and its body darted off in the opposite direction, even faster than when it came. By the time it stopped, it was already thirty meters away.

  "Fang Donglai, you must have made thorough preparations before coming to my door this time?" Qiansen Ming's face turned even uglier as he saw his giant snake being scared off by Fang Donglai.

  "Now that I know my opponent is you, how can I not be prepared." Fang Donglai sneered: "How about it, my secret Huang Huang powder is still effective, you can try to let your little bug come and taste again."

  "I..."

  Ning Yuan almost blurted out a curse as he watched from above, thinking that Fang Dong had prepared something else. He didn't expect it to be so powerful, and it turned out to be a handful of yellow turmeric powder. It seemed that Fang Dong had already grasped the whereabouts of Qian Senming before coming here.

  "Those with the surname Fang, don't forget that I am a spiritual realm cultivator. Even if you have a thousand cloud feet, it's not necessarily enough to be my opponent." Qian Senming gritted his teeth and pulled out a small dagger from his body.

  "Then try it." Fang Dong came with a calm and fearless attitude: "The hatred of killing one's son is not shared under the same sky, today I would rather die here than let you have an easy time."

  As they spoke, the two of them didn't stop their hands, Fang Donglai had a thousand clouds and feet, his attack was very fierce, and with just one move, he formed a dark and sinister shape. Gan Senming's artifact in his hand wasn't working, but he was a genuine master of spiritual energy transformation, and his methods were naturally not inferior.

  This cave was originally devoid of sunlight, with an extremely heavy killing aura inside. With the addition of two secret method experts fighting each other, the cave was filled with a surging killing aura and chaotic earth veins.

  The two of them fought for over ten minutes, and Fang Donglai still underestimated the master of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. Although he relied on the terrifying power of his magic tool, he couldn't withstand the consumption and was hit by Qiansen Ming's dark wind in the waist eye, causing his body to stumble.

  A master of the secret arts was engaged in a fierce battle, where every second counted and one mistake could be fatal. Kanemori naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away, so he pounced forward, ready to take Fang Donglai's life at any moment. Just then, a sudden "Ah-choo!" echoed from within the cave.

  Upon hearing the voice, Qian Senming hastily stopped and retreated from Fang Donglai, looking up. Fang Donglai also quickly stabilized himself, warily glancing at Qian Senming without continuing to fight, and looked up as well.

  Two men were fighting, and there was a third person around. This is a very dangerous thing. Once the two are injured, wouldn't it let others take advantage of the situation? Therefore, before figuring out who was present, Fang Donglai and Qian Senming both chose to stop.

  Ouyang Sha on the edge of Ningyuan's bed was now blushing, embarrassedly rubbing her nose, and the voice just now was indeed hers.

  Ningyuan was originally a master of secret methods, and with the addition of a protective artifact, he naturally didn't have any issues. However, Ouyang Shasha clearly didn't understand secret methods and was affected by the evil energy stirred up by the two of them, feeling a chill run through her entire body and couldn't help but let out a sneeze.
