Chapter 3989 Mutual Hostage
"Then Elder Jing can just kill it, right?"
Everyone's heads started to feel dizzy.
"No, because another monster trapped Elder Jing again."
"You mean, one of the monsters held the Star Palace disciples hostage, Elder Jing held it hostage, and it was controlled by another monster?"
"Absolutely, so no one dares to move now. There is a stalemate in the cave, and the monster keeps blackmailing Elder Jing and the others. The elder had to fight to the death to throw me out, so only you can help.
Maybe save them."
"Junior brother, are you confused?"
"Please explain more clearly why the monster still blackmails the monk."
"And if we go, what can we do to help?"
The cultivators were completely confused. This was the first time for everyone to hear such an outrageous thing.
"I can't explain it clearly at the moment. It's more complicated."
Facing the crowd's questioning, Junior Brother Li's face flushed red from holding back. He was a little disorganized and couldn't speak properly. As a result, his mind became unstable, he became anxious, and he spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Okay, don't ask anymore. Carry him in first, and I'll cure him completely before asking." Qin Cheng said.
"It's all up to Senior Brother Qiu."
Although there were countless doubts in their minds that they wanted to figure out, the cultivators still knew their priorities, and they quickly carried the young man into the cave, into a room specially opened for Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng was left to treat Junior Brother Li while the others withdrew.
At this time, in the quiet room, Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows as he stared at the unconscious young man in front of him.
"Elder Jing, the strength of Mingzhou Star Palace is similar to that of Qingzhou. There are only two elders who have reached the level of overcoming the second decline of the Tribulation Realm, and Elder Jing is one of them."
"Soon, we will meet the high-level monks of Mingzhou."
I didn't expect that things would change so quickly.
First five people turned into thirteen, and now Mingzhou is old.
This is a very important choice for you.
"Qin Cheng, what are you going to do? Are you really going to help this elder, or are you going to kill this monk with one knife?" Fu Mo said.
"It would be a bit dangerous to help. Zheng Ling and the others are not familiar with Qiu Zuo, but Elder Jing is from the Star Palace."
"I know this, but there's no need to rush. Let's figure out the situation first."
Qin Cheng shook his head. The young man's injury was not serious, he was just fainted from exhaustion.
The elixir before was enough to restore his consciousness, but he deliberately chose something that was not effective enough in order to create an opportunity for the two of them to come into contact alone later.
According to the news I received before, Qiu Zuo also has some medical skills, so this does not arouse suspicion.
Put the elixir into the young man's mouth again, and when the medicine takes effect, the young man wakes up again.
"Senior brother."
But this time, as soon as the young man shouted a word, he met Qin Cheng's eyes.
A feeling of dizziness spread, and the young man lost consciousness again. Although he slowly sat up from the jade bed, his eyes were empty but like a statue.
"I'm asking you now, first tell me who you are."
Qin Cheng stared at the young man and began to interrogate him.
"The relationship between Qiu Zuo and Elder Jing is not good, even bad?"
"Yes, Elder Jing can't stand Senior Brother Qiu's closeness to Yunzhou Youzhou, and he supports Senior Sister Gu in the Star Palace, so the two of them are on the same level." The young man said dullly.
After some questioning, Qin Cheng's expression changed slightly.
This young man would be thrown out by Elder Jing as a hope. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person, but a direct disciple of Elder Jing, and he knows quite a lot.
So Qin Cheng asked more questions and got a lot of useful information.
It is true that Qiu Zuo is the strongest male cultivator of this generation in Mingzhou, but the most powerful one in this generation in Mingzhou is a woman named Gu Shuyan.
Not only did Gu Shuyan have a high level of cultivation, but her conduct was also well-liked by the elders of Mingzhou and even the palace master, so most of her efforts were spent on cultivating this senior sister Gu.
No wonder Qiu Zuo wanted to hang out with Ying Yuci and others, even for the sake of resources and connections, he even gave up the chance of enlightenment in the Enlightenment Mountain.
This guy probably has never thought about staying in Mingzhou in the future.
After knowing this, Qin Cheng also frowned and started thinking.
"If this Elder Jing has a deep relationship with Qiu Zuo, I will kill him directly. Without the exact location, I can stay away from Elder Jing and others and let them fend for themselves."
"But I don't have a good relationship with Qiu Zuo now, so maybe I don't know him well enough."
"Qin Cheng, I don't think we should take any chances. It's better to just kill him," Fu Mo said.
Qin Cheng shook his head.
"This is indeed safe, but since I plan to borrow Qiu Zuo's identity, I will continue to meet Mingzhou monks in the future. Should I turn them away if they have some relationship with me?"
"There are some things that we still have to face. If I can hide this from Elder Jing, it will be good news for me."
The advantage of having more people can be seen from the previous discussion.
Not to mention, as all forces move towards the central area, there will be more and more opportunities for encounters. If you are alone, you may be in trouble.
"You want to go gambling?"
Fu Mo saw Qin Cheng's thoughts.
"We should go and have a look, even if it's not for the sake of Elder Jing and the others. Where there are monsters, there may be veins of spirit stones. You can't and don't want this thing." Qin Cheng said seriously.
Anyway, let’s go over there first.
If there is really a problem, you can still run away if you want to.
If you are timid before you meet someone, your identity will not be valid.
"Have you ever thought about what if you meet the real Qiu Zuo one day?" Fu Mo said suddenly.
"What are you afraid of? This world is so big. Mingzhou is at the bottom. The monks teleporting in should be the most scattered." Qin Cheng said with a low hum.
"I haven't seen Qiu Zuo for so many days. Maybe he is not in this area at all. If he is, why not just kill him when the time comes."
Why is there such fierce competition among all parties in the star-shooting competition?
The first four and the middle four are all teleported to one place in each of the four areas, so almost everyone will be in one place.
But the six forces at the bottom will be divided and then immediately divided into different regions.
Just like a state's power, one-third of the people are in this southeastern location, and the other two-thirds are in two different areas. In that case, the distance is much farther.
After not meeting him for so long, Qin Cheng felt that there was not much chance of meeting Qiu Zuo soon.
"Let's go, let's find out what's going on with Elder Jing first and see if there's anything we can gain from it."
After interrupting the illusion, Qin Cheng called Zheng Ling and others over again.
This time, Junior Brother Li was completely awake and explained the situation in detail.
All the cultivators looked at Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng didn't talk nonsense.
With a wave of his hand, a spiritual boat appeared in the valley, and everyone flew into it.
