Zhao Min suddenly remembered something.
"Junior brother, the training you have been talking about in the past few years is to secretly plan this, but... but you are too bold..."
Dong Liqing has been in a bad mood recently. It has been almost three years and his plan has made no progress at all, which has greatly dissatisfied the elders of his branch.
"These old fools only know how to urge her. Zhao Min spends most of her time in seclusion. What can I do? Tell me!
I met her once in a while before, and she was not only unresponsive, but whenever I tried to get close to her, she would use her status as the Supreme Elder to pressure me. Can you bear all the consequences for me
You say I'm incompetent. If you have the guts, go find someone else to try. It's been decades, and who can get close to her now..."
Dong Liqing paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the scene today when he was called over by the clan elders, and felt more and more depressed.
Zhao Min was inside the "Holy Demon Palace". Although the "Holy Demon Palace" was large, it was undoubtedly very close to them. However, even with his Nascent Soul stage identity, he was unable to get close to her.
In recent years, he has been unable to concentrate on his cultivation, and the elders of his branch would ask about his progress every once in a while.
It seems that as Zhao Min's cultivation level increases, they both realize the importance of each other. Once Zhao Min succeeds in conceiving a baby one day, it will be many times more difficult to form a marriage alliance than it is now.
At that time, each branch would try every means to prevent others from getting close to Zhao Min, and recommend their own elite monks for marriage.
Just as Dong Liqing was pacing back and forth in anxiety, his expression suddenly moved, and then his consciousness fell outside the cave.
There was a sound transmission note there that was like a headless fly, flying around in the restrictions outside the cave, constantly flashing light.
Dong Liqing then bent his fingers and grabbed at the void. The sound transmission note disappeared outside the cave, and a yellow light flashed in his hand, and there was an additional sound transmission note.
When he put it on his forehead, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"You finally came out. I'm going to find a reason today to prevent you from leaving immediately!"
As he was thinking about this, his figure quickly faded and disappeared.
Zhao Min has not left the cave for nearly three years, and after coming out today, she wandered around the palace.
After being constantly urged by the elders of the clan, Dong Liqing has already sent people to guard inside and outside the palace every day. The last time, his fourth disciple actually followed him out to report his merits.
Not only did he fail to inform herself in time, but his whereabouts were eventually discovered by Zhao Min.
This made Dong Liqing scold the disciple severely. Such a good tracking opportunity was wasted by him. From now on, Zhao Min would have to be more vigilant in the future.
Moreover, he also compared Zhao Min's cultivation level and found that her spiritual awareness was at least not inferior to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
Several disciples were arranged now to send a message to him as soon as they found Zhao Min. Anyway, he couldn't concentrate on his practice because of the trouble caused by those old guys.
Dong Liqing found the beautiful female disciple who sent the sound transmission note within a few breaths.
He arranged female disciples in the palace to keep an eye on Zhao Min, so even if she was discovered, the trouble caused would be much smaller.
Before Dong Liqing could ask, the female disciple spoke hurriedly.
"Master, that person just left the palace. Second Senior Brother was guarding there, so I didn't follow him!"
Dong Liqing was shocked, and then he was happy.
"You're out again. This time I'll follow you in person to see what you want to do. Maybe this time I can find the person you want to meet."
He must find out the reason why Zhao Min left the palace. This time, his efforts were not in vain, as he got the news first.
Dong Liqing arrived outside the "Holy Demon Palace" almost in an instant. He saw his disciple at the corner of the mountain at a glance, and he appeared behind the man in a flash.
"How long has she been out?"
The monk was looking around in the dark and was startled by the voice coming from behind. He turned around suddenly, saw who was coming, and immediately wanted to pay homage.
Dong Liqing said impatiently.
"Say it!!"
"Master, she just came down the mountain less than five breaths ago, and she should not have reached the foot of the mountain yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash before his eyes and Dong Liqing disappeared. He swallowed.
"If I lose him again this time, it won't be my fault. Last time, Fourth Junior Brother got scolded like a dog.
We also need to cultivate, and it’s really annoying to do these things every day!!”
He kept complaining in his heart. He had just sent the sound transmission note diligently and conscientiously. He just didn't know that Dong Liqing had already come out after receiving the first sound transmission note.
Dong Liqing soon spotted a woman in white walking quickly down the mountain, and a smile appeared on Dong Liqing's lips.
After Zhao Min came down the mountain, she walked eastward along the street, and she didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
After walking for more than half an hour, she began to become secretive, constantly changing her route, and she went further and further away, finally moving away from the main urban area.
After more than half an hour, Zhao Min had already entered the East City of "Holy Demon City". She wandered through the dilapidated low rooms.
After twists and turns, she entered a long and narrow alley. After pausing for a moment, she walked straight forward.
In the long alley, Zhao Min finally stopped under a dark courtyard wall. There, a hunchbacked old man in gray clothes was hiding in the corner. It was almost difficult to detect his presence at first glance.
After Zhao Min stopped, the hunchbacked old man in gray slowly walked out from the shadows. He was wearing a bamboo hat and his face could not be seen clearly.
After the two met, they did not speak, but used their spiritual sense to record words on a jade slip, and then handed it to the other party. After the other party scanned it with his spiritual sense, he also recorded what he wanted to say and gave it back to the other party. "You are so cautious!!"
Dong Liqing who was far away could not help but feel extremely angry. With his cultivation level, if the two of them were talking in a low voice, even if they were telepathically transmitting messages to each other, he would be able to eavesdrop.
What he never expected was that the two of them remained silent from beginning to end and actually passed a jade slip back and forth, which made him hesitate to spy.
Some jade slips are restricted during their refining process and can only withstand a certain amount of spiritual power at a time. Therefore, the engraver must master the strength of the spiritual power before he can engrave.
Dong Liqing didn't know whether the jade slips in the hands of the two men were like this, so once his spiritual sense quietly probed over, the jade slip exploded and he would be discovered.
He was not afraid of the other two's cultivation level, but he did not want to alarm Zhao Min immediately.
Just like this, after the two people in the depths of the alley exchanged thoughts silently over a cup of tea, Zhao Min crushed the jade slip and then turned around and walked back the way they came.
Only the hunchbacked old man in gray clothes and wearing a bamboo hat was left in the alley. After watching Zhao Min's figure disappear from his sight, he immediately walked quickly towards the exit at the other end of the alley.
Just when the hunchbacked old man in gray took less than five steps, a figure quietly appeared behind him, followed by a cold voice sounding in the heart of the hunchbacked old man in gray.
"Old man, can you please stay for a moment so we can talk?"
The hunchbacked old man in gray suddenly trembled as he was walking forward, and immediately froze in place.
Then, he slowly turned around and raised his head. It was an extremely old face. He looked at the blurry figure behind him and spoke in a somewhat stiff voice.
"Excuse my poor eyesight, do I know you?"
Dong Liqing only felt a gloomy spiritual sense sweeping towards him. He sneered in his heart, thinking that the other party wanted to find out his cultivation and background.
However, the power revealed in the transmitted spiritual consciousness was not very stable, as if it did not dare to use its full strength.
"He used a technique to conceal his aura. This technique should be quite strong, but in my opinion, his aura still fluctuates greatly. His true cultivation level should be around the middle to late Jindan stage."
"I don't know you, so why can't we talk? You're just a Jindan!"
As Dong Liqing spoke, his arm suddenly stretched out, spanning dozens of feet in an instant, and he grabbed the chest of the hunchbacked old man in gray.
He wanted to capture the old man in one fell swoop. As soon as he caught the old man, he would immediately use the soul-searching technique to find out all the old man's secrets, and then destroy the body.
Now under the pressure from the elders above, he no longer cares about killing people in the city, but he must do it cleanly and leave no traces.
He was very sure that the hunchbacked old man in gray opposite him was not from the White Demon clan. It was precisely because he was sure of this that he dared to take action.
For a foreign monk, the "Holy Demon Palace" has never had much obligation to investigate the murderer, and most of the time it just wants to show its majesty.
Dong Liqing had a good idea, and with his level of cultivation, it was indeed not difficult for him to do this. It was just a piece of cake.
The reaction of the hunchbacked old man in gray was just as he expected. The gap in cultivation between the two was too big, and a look of shock and anger appeared on the face of the hunchbacked old man in gray.
He had just raised his hands when the long arm that came across the distance grabbed his chest.
"With your level of cultivation, you still dare to question me? I will crush you to death without you even breathing a single breath!"
Dong Liqing's mocking voice was heard, and just when his fingertips touched the other party's collar, Dong Liqing only felt a flash before his eyes, and the hunchbacked old man in gray clothes suddenly disappeared.
Such a sudden change made Dong Liqing a little stunned.
Then he saw a huge black dragon moving quickly in front of him, and then Dong Liqing felt his fingertips touching a layer of hard substance.
Then he saw a black dragon's tail flash in front of him, and the yellow light at the tail shattered into pieces, and then the dragon disappeared.
"What a fast escape technique, what a strong body, and a very good defensive magic weapon!!"
Dong Liqing's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, and the other party revealed his true form in the midst of a busy schedule, and also protected his body with a defensive magic weapon that could at least compete with a late Jindan cultivator.
Dong Liqing's attack was sure to succeed, but it was resisted by the opponent. Dong Liqing knew that he was careless just now.
“I actually missed it!”
A hint of anger appeared on Dong Liqing's handsome face.
At this moment, at the exit of the alley, the hunchbacked old man in gray clothes who had been standing still also opened his mouth and spurted out blood.
The old face suddenly became blurred, and a normal young man's face flashed for a moment, and then quickly returned to its wrinkled appearance.
"Well...well... there's no need to force blood out! The gap between us is too big..."
Then, with his arm trembling slightly, he quickly waved his hand towards the blood on the ground, and an invisible air covered the blood.
The pool of bright red blood on the ground immediately made a slight "hissing" sound, and after some smoke rose, it turned into a dark green color.
Then the hunchbacked old man in gray clothes took a quick glance and saw Dong Liqing, who was still alone in the middle of the alley, grabbing the empty space with his claws.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the nausea caused by the splitting headache, and immediately rushed towards the East City Gate.
"His cultivation level is much higher than those who took the test, which is quite different from the expected results of the tests over the past few months.
The phantom poison can only affect him for about three breaths at most, and it may not even last that long. Moreover, with my cultivation level, I cannot get close to him to launch a sneak attack, otherwise, I will destroy the environment created by the phantom poison!"
