Chapter 122: Master-Disciple Game

Wu Tu couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this.

If not for the fact that Master Qi had such cultivation at such a young age, he would have had two masters, both of whom were at the level of immortals. Two immortals taught him one thing. How could this blessing be any less?

Since he is a Taoist immortal, he is also a great master of Pingzhang.

But having said that, after listening to the meaning of Master Qi's words, the first master seemed not satisfied with Master Qi's apprenticeship with Master Donghua, so he gave Master Qi a small lesson.

The twists and turns here are not something outsiders can know.

Qi Xuansu put away the flying knife and asked, "How are things in the village?"

His attention was entirely occupied by Zhou Mengyao's flying knife, and he did not care to watch the situation on Wutu's side.

Wutu hurriedly replied: "Except for one person who escaped, all the insect men were killed. As for those who have not been implanted with insect eggs, I have made appropriate arrangements."

Qi Xuansu nodded, still thinking about Zhou Mengyao's question.

This sword is elusive and subtle to the extreme, but it is not powerful enough. Did Zhou Mengyao intentionally hold back? Or is it that the power of the powerful crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Zhen?

If it is the former, it is a matter of motivation and may be a warning, but this is inconsistent with Zhou Mengyao's past behavior. Zhou Mengyao is the kind of person who will not easily alert others. If Qiniang hadn't become a mole, Qi Xuansu I still don’t know that Zhou Mengyao exists. How could such a person give Qi Xuansu a warning inexplicably? It doesn't make sense.

If it is the latter, it means that Zhou Mengyao is not nearby, which leads to another question. Since Zhou Mengyao is not nearby, how did she lock Qi Xuansu? Could it be that Zhou Mengyao left something similar to a trap near the village? When Qi Xuansu came here and accidentally triggered the trap, Zhou Mengyao would take action from a distance.

But it still doesn't make sense, because when the distance is too far, it is difficult for even the immortals to directly kill the heavenly beings in the creation stage. Only the nightmare method cast by the birth date or blood hair can ignore the distance.

So what is the significance of Zhou Mengyao's action?

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu said to Wu Tu: "Wu Tu, check the surroundings to see if there are any traces of similar formations or traps, especially those related to Taoism."

Wutu was startled and then understood Qi Xuansu's intention. Although he is not a member of the Taoist sect, after reaching the realm of pseudo-immortal, many methods have the same goal in principle. Maybe Wutu will not use the Taoist sect's methods, but it is not difficult to identify the Taoist sect's methods. In other words, if you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?

The two began to search separately.

It’s still the old way, don’t bother, check carefully inch by inch, don’t miss any place.

It took Wutu about two hours to find traces of a triggered formation about three miles east of where Qi Xuansu was attacked.

This formation was only the size of a wheel and was carved on the back of a big tree. After being triggered, it began to gradually dissipate. If Qi Xuansu and Wu Tu had not found this formation, it would have completely dissipated in a short time without leaving any traces.

Qi Xuansu and Wu Tu studied the remaining formations and were able to determine that the formation itself was not powerful, but mainly served as a warning, covering the entire village and some areas outside the village. Qi Xuansu did not trigger this warning formation. It should have been when Utu was inaugurating the heavens and the earth that the divine power of the night triggered the formation.

Then the spiritual thoughts in the formation quickly swept across the entire area. After confirming Qi Xuansu's existence, Zhou Mengyao, who was thousands of miles away, felt it in his heart, and then shot out a knife, hitting Qi Xuansu in the middle.

The timing matched up, and Qi Xuansu was attacked just after Wu Tu left. On the contrary, it gave people the illusion that someone had been lurking nearby, waiting for Wu Tu to leave before taking action immediately. In fact, it was Wu Tu's action that triggered the formation, causing Zhou Mengyao to discover Qi Xuansu's existence.

Qi Xuansu watched the traces of this formation completely dissipate and thought secretly in his heart.

Judging from the handwriting of this formation, there is no doubt that it was left behind by Zhou Mengyao. From this, it can be concluded that Zhou Mengyao has been to this village before. She thinks Qi Xuansu is likely to come here, but she cannot be sure when Qi Xuansu will come here. She may not have time or patience. Anyway, she does not wait here. So this formation was left.

After all, he was Qi Xuansu's former master. He knew Qi Xuansu well and could easily grasp Qi Xuansu's thoughts.

It is also possible that Zhou Mengyao went to all the insect villages and left behind similar formations. As long as Qi Xuansu attacked the insect people, he would always encounter them.

It is not difficult for an immortal to find the insect stronghold by himself. Immortals can do it as long as they are willing to spend time and effort. The key is that other immortals don't do it. If it weren't for Qi Xuansu, Zhou Mengyao wouldn't be willing to do this kind of thing. He is already in a high position and has great power, and he still does it himself. Doesn't that mean he is in charge? It's better to leave this kind of trivial matter to

As for why Zhou Mengyao didn't go to Xinxijing or Xinpaititi to find Qi Xuansu, the reason is very simple and easy to be discovered.

Qi Xuansu is not a lone ranger in the world, but one of the successors that the Taoist sect focuses on. It is inevitable that the stars will support him. There are always many people around him, including fake immortals like Wu Tu and Hu En Ahan. These people are not vegetarians. Three pseudo-immortals can resist the immortals. At least two pseudo-immortals will not be able to fight back.

As long as there is some noise, other immortals will take action.

New Xijing is the base camp of Xidaomen. Tantai Zhenxiao likes to stay in Tanxiu Mountain, and Gongfu is usually in New Xijing. New Paititi is the base camp of the ancient gods. Ishichel is not sleeping like Kukulkan. Maybe he is always watching everything in New Paititi. Even if Ishichel cannot descend directly, the ancient gods' voters and incarnations combined cannot be underestimated.

In addition, Qi Xuansu himself is not a child without any resistance. Under such conditions, it is difficult for Zhou Mengyao to do something to Qi Xuansu.

Before, Qi Xuansu had been to the North Continent, but Zhou Mengyao had not freed up his hands at that time, and had not yet confronted Qi Niang.

So Zhou Mengyao could only wait until Qi Xuansu left New Paititi and New Xijing before taking any action, which makes sense.

There is only one last question left, what is Zhou Mengyao's intention in giving him a knife?

Qi Xuansu habitually pinched his eyebrows, which happened to be the place where the flying knife hit.

Then Qi Xuansu noticed something wrong.

A small scar was left here.

Scars left on wounds are not a problem, but they are very problematic for warriors. When Qi Xuansu's hand was cut off by someone, no trace was left after the limbs were reattached. Qi Xuansu has suffered many injuries, and his flesh and blood have all recovered as before.

This time, a scar was left, which has not disappeared for a long time.

Qi Xuansu's nails suddenly became longer and sharper than a knife. He slowly cut the scar, which was like a bloody vertical eye, and then looked at it in a mirror.

There was a faint breath lingering in it, gathering and dispersing, and the outline of the talisman could be vaguely seen.

Wu Tu saw this scene and understood what it meant. His face was solemn: "This seems to be a mark. In this way, Master Qi's... master can lock Master Qi's specific location."

Locking Qi Xuansu through the formation is only temporary. This kind of mark imprinted on Qi Xuansu can last forever.

In this way, Zhou Mengyao can grasp the specific whereabouts of Qi Xuansu, and then suddenly jump out at an unexpected time to give Qi Xuansu a big "surprise".

This makes sense.

Zhou Mengyao's knife is not for killing or warning, but to lock Qi Xuansu. After all, the southern continent is so big, and Qi Xuansu's whereabouts are uncertain. It is really troublesome to find him.

However, Qi Xuansu's reaction is quite fast. He confirmed Zhou Mengyao's identity through Xiao Yin, and with a little luck, he saw through Zhou Mengyao's intention.

In the first confrontation between the master and the apprentice, Qi Xuansu did not lose too much.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Is there a way to remove it?"

Wu Tu observed carefully for a moment, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty can definitely do it. Otherwise, let's go back and ask Your Majesty to remove this mark."

In Wu Tu's view, the insect man problem is a trivial matter. If he does it well, he won't get any benefits. But if there is a problem with Qi Zhenren, then his sin is great, and he may become a scapegoat. Her Majesty the Queen and the Western Dao Sect have to give an explanation to the Dao Sect, and he is that explanation.

Although he is considered a big man in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the Dao Sect, especially the eyes of the Dao Sect's top leaders, he is a small man. After all, Itsamna and Kukulkan are dead, what is a voter?

So Wu Tu put his attitude very low, hoping that Qi Xuansu would put his own safety first.

Qi Xuansu didn't think this was the case. Could it be that he could only shrink into his turtle shell after being frightened by Zhou Mengyao? Then will he still do things in the future?

Will he be a coward for as long as Zhou Mengyao is alive?

Then what's the point of talking about the Grand Master? What's the point of talking about being in charge of the Dao Sect?

The fundamental solution to this problem is of course for Qi Xuansu to improve his cultivation. After he has the pseudo-immortal cultivation, he will at least have some ability to fight back. After becoming an immortal, Qi Xuansu doesn't have to be afraid at all. He even hopes that Zhou Mengyao will come to him so that he can kill her with his own hands.

However, Qi Xuansu is still quite far from being an immortal. He can't keep shrinking like this. He still has to think of a way to hurt Zhou Mengyao and make her afraid.

Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay. It's just a small matter. There's no need to make a big fuss."

Wu Tu hesitated.

Qi Xuansu certainly didn't want to joke with his own life. If Zhou Mengyao got angry and wanted to kill him, he had to have a way to deal with it.

Qi Xuansu really had a way, that was the "Moon in the Water" left by Wu Niang. He could ask Master Jiang to take action. This incident happened in Paititi Cave Heaven, Zhou Mengyao should not know.

If the plan is well planned, Qi Xuansu will use himself as a chess piece and personally join the game. If he plays chess with the immortals in this way, he may be able to win by half.
