Chapter 27 Before the Storm (Part 2)
"Cuck, Cuck, Cuck, Cuck."
The white-haired wolf spider king danced its jointed limbs and swallowed its fangs, devouring Tuo Zhentian clean in the blink of an eye.
In the end, there was only an inhuman head with a white skeleton.
"Duan Mu!"
Duan Gaojing called out.
After a while, the pock-marked monk walked softly from the other side of the stone gate and said respectfully: "What are your instructions, young master?"
"Throw the old monster's body deep into the mine, and hide it so no one can see it!"
Duan Gaojing warned, picked up two velvet hairs of the Wolf Spider King from the blood pit and stuck them on his head.
"Don't worry, young master, I will handle it well."
Duan Mu collected the bones and threw them into the storage bag, then said in a cold voice: "The people below reported that Lu Yu entered our No. 1 mining area not long ago. Young Master, do you want to order Hei Bal'er to kill him?"
"Not for now. That guy is very close to Meng Yan. Don't cause any more trouble."
Duan Gaojing's eyes moved and he immediately objected.
In order to pretend that Tuo Zhentian was killed by a wild white-haired wolf spider, Duan Gaojing did not even take any of his belongings.
In this way, even if Tuo Zhentian's body is discovered, the supervisor will not hold him accountable.
But if someone dies at the mouth of a monster again and again, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the supervisor.
Now that his strength has greatly increased, the white-haired Wolf Spider King is his most favored right-hand man and cannot be abandoned easily.
Therefore, he decisively rejected Duan Mu's proposal.
"Old slave, I understand."
Duan Mu nodded and then withdrew.
"Meng Yan still has half a year left in his term. When he leaves office, Duan will come back to play with you."
Touching the beard on his lips, Duan Gaojing said with a sly smile.
To him, Chen Ping was not someone whose hatred was as deep as the sea and whom he could not kill.
Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity, Duan Gaojing will not let it go.
…
The terrain of the western half of the mining area is much more complex than that of the eastern half.
There are hundreds of branching passages alone.
Even though Chen Ping galloped all the way without stopping, the search was not completed in several days.
On the map, only the last 10% of the area remains unexplored.
"Where have you been hiding?"
Chen Ping talked to himself, but was not in a hurry and retreated from the side road.
Compared with Meng Lingqiu's exact whereabouts, the search for Ye Mofan is just a side detail.
Calculating the time, it has been less than seven days since the opening of the Scarlet Xiao Sect's trading conference.
If Meng Lingqiu wanted to go to the distant Mingji Island to attend the trading conference in person, he would probably leave within the next two days.
Taking square steps, Chen Ping came to the platform again.
After looking around for a week, Meng Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Only Yu Man sat alone in the center.
Chen Ping secretly rejoiced and said calmly: "Fairy Yu, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I dare to ask where my friend Meng Dao has gone?"
Yu Man folded the black silk silk and threw a jade slip on the ground. The sound was like a silver bell: "See for yourself. Fellow Taoist Meng Yan entrusted me to give it to you before he left."
"Does this woman hate me so much?"
A flash of anger flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, and he bent down to pick up the jade slip. After looking at it quickly, the corners of his mouth turned up in an evil way.
There are only two brief sentences in the jade slips.
"The third elder left the island yesterday."
"Meng will definitely live up to his trust and will return to the island to reunite with Brother Lu one day."
Chen Ping was determined.
Once Meng Lingqiu left, there was no more master of foundation building in this place.
But just in case, he decided to take the risk and go outside the cave to find out.
At night, ghostly wind howls in the mines.
Yu Man lay on the stone bed and closed his eyes to rest.
There are two light cyan formation flags planted in the space about one foot around her, which should be a simple early warning formation.
As her breathing gradually became evener, a black shadow passed silently across the platform.
This ghostly black shadow is definitely Chen Ping.
At this moment, he used the crape myrtle breathing technique with all his strength and came out of the cave like chasing wind and lightning.
Lying on a soil slope, Chen Ping unfolded his consciousness and enveloped the outside world with an invisible wave of water ripples.
At the same time, he was also ready for a battle of wits.
If the news is wrong and Meng Lingqiu has not left the mine, Chen Ping will directly launch an attack and fight to the death.
Five feet, ten feet, fifty feet, two hundred feet, one thousand feet.
Chen Ping tiptoed, like a ghost flying around the basin at night.
The night is getting darker and the bright moon is in the sky.
Chen Ping returned to the mine with a faint smile.
Within the coverage of the Seven-Color Rainbow Formation, this second-level formation, except for the restricted area where the situation is unknown, there are only eleven monks left in the Meng Yu family.
Four of them have practiced Qi at the ninth level, and two have practiced at the seventh level.
As well as four silver-armored guards at the eighth level of Qi training guarding the outside of the formation.
As for Yu Man, who was sitting on the platform, he was openly ignored by him.
It’s just a video of a girl who has reached the sixth level of Qi training.
As for those at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi training, there is no need to worry too much, they can be destroyed by flipping their hands.
What's a little trickier are the four monks who are at the peak of their Qi training realm.
Of course, it can only pose some threat to him.
…
Taizhu Mountain, copper crystal vein.
Bundles of colorful rays of light are released from somewhere in the space.
Where the light is most intense, there is a gorgeous golden lotus platform.
The lotus platform is not surrounded by a circle of lotus petals, but a blade that emits golden light.
It gave this otherwise silent night a hint of chilling air.
This is where the eye of the Seven Color Rainbow Formation is located.
A white-haired old woman in plain clothes was standing in front of Meng Ping and said with a troubled face: "Sixth brother, the third elder insists on going his own way to Mingji Island. Do you want to send a transmission note to the family to report this matter?"
Meng Ping had a bitter look on his face, shook his head slowly and said, "Don't you still know the temperament of the third elder?"
"If we go to the family, the most he can do is deduct his salary."
"But life will not be easy for you and me in the future. Brother Six cannot bear the anger of the foundation-building monk!"
After hearing what he said, the white-haired old woman also smiled bitterly: "Tengshan Island has lost a foundation-building master, and I'm afraid something will change. The family has been recruiting miners over the years, and it has no choice but to arouse the suspicion of other forces."
"well!"
Meng Ping couldn't help but sigh, he had a severe headache.
How could he not know the worries of his eighth sister Meng Xiu, but the other party was the Foundation Establishment Elder who held the real power, so he really had nothing to do.
"The risk mainly comes from outside the big formation. The casual cultivators in the mine are of low level, so there is no need to be too cautious."
"And the third elder will only be away for a few months at most."
Meng Ping said helplessly: "Everyone, please work harder these days, and your daily rest time will be reduced by one hour."
"I also ask the two fellow Taoists from the Yu family to bear with me."
After saying that, Meng Ping clasped his fists in the distance towards the two monks in blue who had surprisingly similar looks and stature across the lotus platform, and said sincerely.
"That's right. My Yu family also holds 40% of the shares in the Tengshan Island mine. Naturally, my two brothers will not just work but not contribute."
