Meng Qi was just imitating Duan Xiang's cleverness, using the Phantom Shape Great Technique to track him down.

  Although he was already a master of the Phantom Technique when he first met Duan Yu, he still had some distance to go. However, this time when he returned to the Tian Ding City world, he learned many practical skills from him. After returning for several days, due to the spiritual transformation brought about by killing An Guo Xie, the Phantom Technique made a significant breakthrough, and his own strength surpassed that of Duan Yu. The black-faced man was weaker than himself at the beginning, so he could get closer without fear of being discovered.

  The black-faced man continued his efforts to shake off the pursuit in a daze, circling around for a long time before entering the back door of a courtyard.

  He didn't let out a sigh of relief until then, and with a delighted expression on his face, he walked towards a side room and knocked on the door with a "thud thud thud".

  "Who?" came a clear and melodious male voice from inside.

  "The second master is me." The dark-faced man said with a relaxed tone.

  The door creaked open, and a young man with a mustache poked his head in to take a look at the black-faced man's back, then chuckled and said, "If you don't come back, I'll have to notify Big Dangzi."

  Hei Lian Han Zi is "dead room", he originally did not expect to come back alive, so hearing his voice, especially vigilant, fortunately nothing happened.

  The black-faced man was completely unaware of his own identity, and he said with a hint of fear: "Fortunately I'm clever, that person is probably another monk, soft-hearted and soft-handed, otherwise I would have died miserably long ago. Thank you, Second Master, for your concern, my life or death isn't worth notifying the master."

  I'm telling you, big guy, to get ready for the "guest". The young man stroked his newly grown beard and said with a smile: "Come on in and talk."

  The window paper was very thick and severe, the room was quite dim, and the young man seemed to like this environment, and did not light a candle.

  After closing the door, he asked with his hands behind his back: "But did 'Shi' really tell them about it?"

  "Yes, Second Master, I truly admire you. They are cautious and don't easily believe outside information, nor will they fall for tricks easily. Unfortunately, no matter how clever they are, how can they compare to you? How could they guess that the one who seems to be following them is actually the real 'trap'?" The dark-faced man said with a face full of admiration, although he didn't know the specific plan, but when Second Master told him not to keep it a secret, he roughly guessed it was a trap.

  The second master's face revealed a triumphant smile: "It's just more preparation, for the foolish ones, the rumors spread outside are enough to lure them to Che Lie Gorge, and for the relatively smart guys, they will go to Lao San's place to fall into their own trap, while the smart and cautious ones, it's up to you."

  "The Second Master is considerate and thoughtful, it's beyond the likes of us." The dark-faced man said with a serious expression, because the Second Master liked others to speak in such a tone.

  The second master smiled and nodded: "Notify the third elder that he no longer needs to disguise himself as Zhen Luo's opposing force, and immediately rush back to Che Lie Gorge. Perhaps it will be in time to see Xiao Tu Zi and his helper beheaded."

  Zerorou completely judges strength and specialty based on the corpse, and doesn't care if the enemy is one, two, or three. In short, their strength is just that range, no need to take action yourself, and other enemies don't need to bother investigating, as long as they catch the little bald donkey, it's clear at a glance.

  "Yes, I'll go inform them right away." The dark-faced man felt he had accomplished a great feat and his smile was exceptionally radiant.

  The second master waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, first tell me carefully about the situation just now."

  If this guy wasn't so obtuse and had a mind to fight for the secret, I would have reminded him at the beginning, so let's see if he made any mistakes.

  The black-faced man carefully repeated the conversation and finally said: "Second master, no problem?"

  The second master hesitated for a moment, picked up paper and pen, quickly wrote a letter, and then nodded: "No problem."

  He took a strange bird with white head and black feathers from the bird cage in his room, tied the letter to its foot, then pushed open the window and let it fly high.

  The strange bird's wings fluttered, just about to soar high, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the shadows, a long and powerful hand, firmly grasping it.

  The two masters and the black-faced man stared blankly at this scene, seeing a handsome young man with a black cloth wrapped around his head, with knives and swords hanging from his waist, walking out of the shadows, smiling and saying: "Go on, you guys keep talking, I love listening."

  The two were so scared that their souls were gone, how did he pop up, and how could they not have discovered it?

  That shadow is not deep and is in a conspicuous place by the door, how could the two of them possibly not notice it?

  "What a pity! I was just about to spare your life." Meng Qi sighed, drew his knife with his right hand and slashed diagonally at the dark-faced man.

  The knife flashed brightly, and the dark-faced man came back to his senses, rushing towards the side in an attempt to dodge.

  A flash of knife light, and the black-faced man who pounced on the side never got up again. Under his body, fresh blood flowed out.

  Meng Qi killed extremely quickly, and before Er Dang Jia could even take advantage of the opportunity to act, he saw the sword return, pointing directly at himself.

  "You must be Xiao Mian Hu Yu Lin?" Meng Qi said with a smile.

  "It was me."

  Innumerable thoughts were racing in his mind as he desperately sought a strategy to extricate himself from the mortal danger.

  Meng Qi sighed and said: "You're very clever, but unfortunately your strength is too weak, you can't even open the door yet."

  Yu Lin squeezed out a smile: "Isn't this good? Inferior strength is easier to control, cleverness makes communication convenient. Don't you want to know where that little monk went?"

  "You're full of lies, can't be trusted at all. Anyway, there's still a group of fools waiting for me to ask." Meng Qi still had that disappointed expression.

  Yu Lin saw Meng Qi's salt and oil not entering, and muttered: "There is a wicked knife chasing and killing order, that little monk has probably been caught by some horse bandit. To rescue him, relying on strength alone is not enough, but also need to move brains, be sinister enough, and I can help you, I can serve you."

  As long as I'm alive, everything will be fine, and it'll all come back eventually!

  Meng Qi smiled: "Sorry, you're a bad guy."

  What? Yu Lin was bewildered, and before he could react, a dark red ring-shaped blade slashed towards him. No matter how he dodged and weaved, it approached his throat without any deviation.

  I don't want to die! I still have a lot of clever ideas, and I can still guess what's on people's minds!

  He He, Yu Lin covered his throat, fresh blood sprayed to the ground, limbs convulsed a few times, and then there was no movement.

  "Che Lie Gorge, it's just half a day's journey..." Meng Qi muttered to himself, digging a hole in the yard and burying the two corpses directly - setting fire would make too much noise and easily arouse suspicion.

  …………

  Half a day later, the sun sets in the west, the sky is dark, the temperature drops sharply in Gobi, and the wind carries a chill.

  Chele Valley is a valley that seems to have been cut out by an immortal with a long sword, with smooth and inaccessible cliffs on both sides, and mist in the valley from time to time. It is a place of great danger and ambush.

  Gu Changqing and Meng Qi rode their horses, gazing out at the Che Lie Gorge, looking at the mountains on both sides, furrowing his brow: "How did you kill so quickly, without even asking where Dahanzi's camp is? How are we supposed to find it now?"

  He tried hard to make himself forget Meng Qi's strange tracking of the black-faced man, constantly telling himself that it was someone else's unique skill and couldn't be investigated.

  Meng Qi forced a calm and gentle smile: "Their camp is just another ambush, Shen Zui is definitely not inside, why bother going there?"

  "But we can pretend to raid the camp and lure out Shen Zui's ambush, then take advantage of the situation." Gu Changqing was no fool either.

  Meng Qi smiled leisurely and said, "Why bother with so much trouble, let's just go straight to their doorstep."

  "What's going on?" Gu Changqing felt that this guy who spoke in a half-concealed and half-revealing way was really asking to be beaten up.

  Of course, this was also Meng Qi's previous idea, but now it's different, because he can enjoy this feeling himself.

  He smiled but didn't speak, turning his head to ask: "Can you handle a few bandits who have opened their eyes?"

  Gu Changqing knew that he couldn't lie about this kind of thing, or else he would be the one in danger. He furrowed his brow and said: "Ma is cruel and ruthless, accustomed to fighting and killing, and not afraid of death. If it's one on one, relying on my family's swordsmanship, it shouldn't be a problem. But if there are two of them, then it will be more dangerous."

  He only came out to travel the world after opening his eyes, and the Gu family established their reputation with swordsmanship. "Kangetsu Shinsen" and "Gu Family Sword" are not bad, but in comparison, the internal skill "Enka Jue" seems relatively ordinary.

  "Then let's go together." Meng Qi nodded lightly.

  "Where did he go?" Gu Changqing asked angrily.

  Meng Qi chuckled and said, "There's a little guy who will take us there."

  As they spoke, he loosened the cloth bag in his left hand, and the white-headed black-feathered strange bird flew out, circled in the sky for a moment, and dived towards a valley near Che Lie Gorge.

  "Let's go." Meng Qi patted his horse and hastened on, closely following the white-headed bird.

  Gu Zhangqing looked at the white-headed bird, "hating" his teeth itching, if you had told me this earlier, how could I have appeared so stupid?

  …………

  In a secluded valley, there were three tents. In the middle one was Shen Zui Zi Ju, and on either side were four other enlightened masters: two with four apertures and two with eye apertures.

  He knew that the newcomer had killed Anguo Xie, so he didn't dare to underestimate him. He set up a trap and brought all the help he could - even if his opponent relied on various means to turn defeat into victory, Anguo Xie was still a master of the nine orifices, a top-notch expert, and no matter how bad his opponent was, he couldn't be that much worse.

  Just as he was concentrating on his training in the tent, the sound of flapping wings entered his ears. He opened his eyes to see that his own white-headed bird had returned.

  He took down the note, looked at it carefully, and suddenly felt delighted. He went out of the tent and called out four subordinates, letting them make preparations, adjust their minds and bodies, and enter the ambush circle after an hour.

  Four men were divided into two groups of two each, taking turns keeping watch and resting.

  Then he also entered the tent and took a rest in a hurry.

  Meng Qi and Gu Changqing watched the camp from a nearby tree, observing for half a moment to confirm there were no ambushes before jumping down and charging directly into the camp.

  The two patrolling and guarding masters just reacted, Meng Qi, who had cast the Wind God's Leg, pounced in front of them, with his sword slashing horizontally.

  At the moment of life and death, their swords flashed like lightning, also slashing towards Meng Qi's body.

  After two crisp sounds like cutting through gold and stone, two enlightened masters were killed or injured. The one who died was the one who only opened his eye aperture. The four-aperture master had a horizontal knife wound on his chest, which was scorching hot.

  Golden Bell Jar?

  He was shocked and lost his color, but there was no time to call for help. The opponent's knife came rolling in, exquisite and difficult to describe. In just a few short knives, the heavily injured him fell to the ground and died.

  Gu Changqing had just caught up when he saw two masters lying dead, and his heart skipped a beat as he gained a whole new understanding of Meng Qi's strength.

  He was stronger than ordinary four-meridian experts by a whole level, relying solely on his knife skills and Golden Bell Shield, without using any ultimate moves, hidden weapons or poison!

  Meng Qi's clothes were torn in two places, one with only a white mark and the other a shallow knife wound that didn't bleed much, and it looked like they would heal soon.

  The sudden noise awakened Shen Zui, he drew his sword and rushed out, shouting: "Who?"

  Under the dim light, Meng Qi smiled, revealing a row of white teeth:

  "I heard Big Brother was looking for me, so I came myself."
