Bai Xiaofeng's heart was in turmoil, his eyes were flickering, staring at Qin Wuye's retreating back. The black robe rustled in the wind, like a shadow that separated the world.

Ninth Elder Need elixir?

And it seems to be a suppressive elixir?

This thought exploded in his mind, making him almost restless.

In his mind, Qin Wuye has always been synonymous with being cold, powerful, and arrogant. How has he ever seen him need to rely on external objects to maintain his condition?

He couldn't help but turn his head, lowered his voice, and looked eagerly at Jiang Donghua beside him.

"Master Jiang, did you see clearly just now? Ninth Elder Is there something wrong with his body?"

Jiang Donghua frowned slightly, looking deeply at the direction Qin Wuye left, his fingertips lightly touching his cuffs, as if he was thinking.

After a long while, he slowly shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was somewhat helpless and self-deprecating.

"Ninth Young Master, you think too highly of me."

He whispered.

"That's Dou Huang expert, a person who can attract the attention of strong men with just a few gestures. And what about me? I'm just a little Da Dou Shi. I haven't even touched the threshold of Dou Ling. How can I possibly see through the situation inside his body?"

Bai Xiaofeng was unwilling to give in and asked.

"But you are an alchemist after all, so your eyesight should be better than ordinary people, right? Can you recognize the pill he just took?"

Jiang Donghua sighed and shook his head.

"Ninth Young Master, you have to know that Dou Huang expert's body has long been transcendent. The Dou Qi, meridians, flesh and blood, and even souls in their bodies are far beyond our ability to guess."

"I couldn't even fully capture the breath of the elixir he just took, let alone identify it."

"I can only feel it roughly, and it will never be lower than Fourth-grade Pill."

He paused, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and continued.

"Moreover, the thing that makes a Dou Huang expert need to be suppressed by pills is either a serious injury that has not healed, or a backlash from practice, or it may even be the price of some forbidden secret technique. No matter which one it is, it is definitely not something that ordinary pills can solve."

Bai Xiaofeng felt his heart tremble when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

"Then if you come to refine it, is there any way?"

Jiang Donghua smiled even harder and shook his head.

"Ninth Young Master, you overestimate me. An injury or backlash that can make Dou Huang expert helpless requires at least a fifth-grade elixir to have any effect."

"And now I'm just a Fourth-grade Alchemist. I haven't even tried Fifth-grade Pill yet. How can I possibly refine a spiritual elixir of that level?"

He paused, his tone slightly helpless.

"Unless Elder Qin is willing to tell his situation personally and provide prescriptions and materials, I'm afraid I won't be able to help him even if I try my best."

Bai Xiaofeng After listening to this, his face was cloudy and his thoughts were surging in his heart.

Qin Wuye is the Ninth Elder of Heavenly Snake City, and his strength is unfathomable. If something goes wrong with his body, it would probably be a big turmoil for the entire Heavenly Snake City.

Moreover, he was ruthless just now and obviously didn't want anyone to know about his condition. If he rashly inquired, would he get into trouble?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but shudder, quickly calmed down and whispered.

"Master Jiang, please keep this matter confidential for the time being."

Jiang Donghua smiled slightly and nodded.

"Ninth Young Master Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person."

Bai Xiaofeng forced out a smile, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

The convoy continued to move forward, and the sound of wheels rolling over gravel echoed in the silent valley, like an omen of some uneasiness.

In the distance, the figure of Qin Wuye had already disappeared at the end of the line of sight, leaving only a vague chill lingering in everyone's hearts.

Seeing this scene, Tie Shan opened his mouth, a trace of hesitation flashed across his rough face, as if he wanted to stop Qin Wuye and ask something.

As soon as he raised his hand, before he could make a sound, Mo Tianhen next to him suddenly pulled his arm and lowered his voice.

"Are you crazy? Where does Elder Qin want to go? Can you stop it?"

Tie Shan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He put down his hand slyly, scratched his head, and murmured in a low voice.

"Don't I just want to ask about the next arrangements?"

Mo Tianhen rolled his eyes and lost his temper.

"Arrangement? Elder Qin just didn't slap those assassins to death. It was already a show of respect. Do you still expect him to discuss it with you?"

Tie Shan shrank his neck, not daring to talk any more.

Although he is Dou Wang expert, in front of Dou Emperor like Qin Wuye, he doesn't even dare to take a breath.

In the scene just now, the two killers of Peak Dou Wang, Blood Blade and Shadow King, did not even survive two moves in the hands of Qin Wuye, and died without even a scum left.

This disparity in strength prevented him from even thinking about resisting.

He secretly glanced in the direction of Bai Xiaofeng, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and whispered.

"I didn't expect that this Ninth Young Master usually looks like a playboy. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, or he is joking with women in the mansion. He actually hides such a skill!"

Mo Tianhen couldn't help but nodded and whispered.

"Yeah, who would have thought that we all underestimate him."

Tie Shan smacked his lips and sighed.

"No wonder he dares to come out so arrogantly. It turns out he is confident!"

Mo Tianhen sneered and said.

"Haha, now that I think about it, those so-called dandy behaviors before were probably all fake. This kid is very scheming!"

Tie Shan nodded with deep understanding, and then said with some fear.

"Fortunately I didn't offend him before!"

He didn't dare to continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

On the other hand, Bai Xiaofeng didn't know that his image in the hearts of these two Dou Wang had changed from a good-for-nothing young master full of sperm to a hidden ruthless character.

At this moment, he was sitting in the carriage, his brows furrowed, and the abnormal behavior of Qin Wuye just now was constantly replaying in his mind.

"What happened to Ninth Elder?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.

After all, Qin Wuye has a sinister and ruthless personality. If he offends him, he might not even be able to save his own face, Ninth Young Master.

"Forget it, let's just wait and see what happens."

And these Dou Wang expert have other things to do. The two killers who rushed over just now were killed except Dou Wang expert.

There are also many Dou Ling strong men who have been directly captured alive. Naturally, they need to be tortured to show Ninth Young Master.

A few minutes later, Tie Shan was sprayed on the face by a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and he suddenly became furious. His rough face instantly turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, like twisted earthworms.

"Okay! Very good!"

He laughed angrily, and his voice was so low that it seemed as if it was squeezed out of his throat.

"I want to see today whether it is your words that are stronger or my fists that are stronger!"

Before he finished speaking, his big palm-like hand suddenly clenched, his five fingers grasped the Dou Ling strong man's head like iron pliers, and pressed down hard.

"Bang!"

The man's face was smashed directly into the ground, gravel flew out, and blood instantly stained the soil red.

Tie Shan smiled ferociously, pushed his knee against his back, grabbed his arm with the other hand, and twisted it violently.

"Crack!"

The sound of broken bones was clear and harsh, and the Dou Ling strong man let out a shrill scream. His entire arm was twisted into a twist, and the white bone stubble pierced the flesh, dripping with blood.

"Say it or not?!"

Tie Shan asked in a ferocious voice, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

The Dou Ling strongman was twitching in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and roared.

"You bitch, if you can, kill me!"

Tie Shan grinned, showing his white teeth.

"Want to die? It's not that easy!"

He grabbed the man's hair, lifted him up, made a fist with his other hand, Dou Qi condensed, a layer of khaki light appeared on the edge of the fist, and punched him in the abdomen.

"Poof!"

The Dou Ling strong man spurted out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with the fragments of internal organs. He curled up like a shrimp, his face was as pale as paper, and his breath suddenly withered.

Tie Shan let go of his hand and let him lie on the ground, twitching like a dead dog.

He shook off the blood on his hands, turned to look at the other captured assassins, and grinned.

"What about you? Want to try too?"

The faces of those Dou Ling strong men were pale and their eyes were full of fear, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to speak.

Tie Shan snorted coldly and was about to continue taking action when Mo Tianhen on the side suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said calmly.

"Don't waste your time. These people are dead soldiers. There's nothing you can ask."

Tie Shan frowned, somewhat unwillingly.

"What should we do? Just let it go?"

Mo Tianhen glanced at him and said with a faint smile.

"Let go? Of course not."

He slowly walked up to one of the Dou Ling strong men, squatted down, a faint blue light shone from his fingertips, and gently touched the man's eyebrows.

"Since you don't want to say anything, then let me feel the pain for you."

The Dou Ling strong man's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he realized something, and started struggling in horror.

"You, what do you want to do?!"

Mo Tianhen smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Brain Devouring Technique!"

"Ah--!"

The shrill screams instantly resounded through the mountains and forests. The Dou Ling strongman's whole body twitched violently, his orifices were bleeding, and his eyes popped out, as if he was suffering some indescribable pain.

"I really don't know!"

After a moment, Mo Tianhen took back his hand, and the strong Dou Ling had died, with an expression of extreme fear still on his face.

Mo Tianhen stood up, clapped his hands and said calmly.

"Sure enough, they were just following orders and didn't know the real mastermind behind it."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to say a word while the brain is being decomposed inch by inch."

Tie Shan curled his lips.

"Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Mo Tianhen shook his head.

"No, at least we know that more than one force was involved in this assassination."

He raised his head and looked into the distance, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"The road ahead may be even more uneven."

Tie Shan also fell silent after hearing this. The fierce look on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a look of solemnity.

At this moment, the voice of Bai Xiaofeng suddenly came from inside the carriage.

"Since we can't find out anything, let's kill them all."

His tone was calm, but there was a cold murderous intent.

Tie Shan and Mo Tianhen looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The next moment, screams sounded one after another, and the ground was stained red with blood.

The convoy set off again, leaving only a few cold corpses, silently telling the cruelty of this killing.

Bai Wuchen suddenly crushed the tea cup in his hand to pieces, and did not even notice the hot tea splashing on his robe.

His narrow eyes flashed with cold light, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Qin Wuye That old guy actually escorted him in person?!"

The black-clothed spy kneeling on the ground was trembling all over, his forehead pressed to the ground, and he said in a trembling voice.

"Third Young Master, it's absolutely true that Ninth Elder killed Blood Blade and Shadow King in two moves. Our people didn't even have a chance to escape!"

"Trash!"

Bai Wuchen kicked the spy over and his face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.

He turned to look at Bai Qingshuang on the side and sneered.

"Fifth sister, it seems that our ninth brother is more valued than we thought."

Bai Qingshuang was dressed in white, her fingertips gently touching the jade pendant on her waist, but there was no smile on her pretty face.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and her voice was soft but with a biting coldness.

"Third brother, do you think my father has known about it for a long time?"

Bai Wuchen's pupils shrank.

Yes, if his father acquiesces to Qin Wuye secretly protecting Bai Xiaofeng, then wouldn't their actions these days be all under his eyes?

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

"Withdraw, ask everyone to withdraw, and don't touch that Jiang Donghua again!"

Bai Wuchen suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

Bai Qingshuang sighed softly, waved his sleeves and said to his kneeling subordinates.

"Didn't you hear what Third Brother said? Get out of here and sweep your tail clean."

After his men rolled and crawled to the ground and retreated, Bai Qingshuang said quietly.

"Third brother, I'm afraid we may have frightened the enemy this time."

Bai Wuchen sneered.

"What are you afraid of? How long can an old guy who relies on elixirs to survive protect that waste?"

He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice.

"On the contrary, Ninth Brother has hidden it so deeply. He might even be pretending to be a dandy for his father and us brothers and sisters."

Bai Qingshuang fingertips.

If this is true, their ninth brother may be more dangerous than Qin Wuye.

Bai Xiaofeng scratched his hair irritably, slumped on the carriage cushions with a depressed look, and muttered.

"Damn, this old guy usually drags you away for like 25,800,000 yuan, but he suddenly did something like this today, which makes me feel scared!"

Jiang Donghua's eyes twitched, thinking that this man looked worried just now, why did he turn back into that rough-mouthed playboy in the blink of an eye?

He considered it for a moment and whispered.

"The situation of Ninth Young Master, Elder Qin is indeed strange, but with my eyesight, I really can't see any clues."

Bai Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes, yes, it's useless to ask you! Fourth-grade Alchemist, it sounds very bluffing, but in the end, I can't even tell that I'm sick!"

Jiang Donghua smiled bitterly, wondering whether this man really doesn't understand or is he just pretending not to understand?

Dou Huang expert's physical condition could be spied on by any alchemist, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only follow the lead.

"Ninth Young Master taught me that I am not good at studying."

Bai Xiaofeng curled his lips, suddenly lowered his voice, and moved closer slyly.

"Old Jiang, do you think this old guy got carried away while practicing martial arts or did he fall into some evil trick?"

Jiang Donghua's eyelids twitched and he shook his head quickly.

"Ninth Young Master Be careful! How could Elder Qin, who has cultivated to the heavens, easily become possessed by evil spirits? As for the possibility of poisoning, Dou Huang expert is not invulnerable to all poisons, unless it is some powerful and poisonous monster."

Jiang Donghua hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.

"Ninth Young Master, these are just speculations and should not be taken as true. Besides, if Elder Qin really has some hidden illness, he doesn't want people to know about it, so we are making rash speculations?"

He didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was very clear, he was seeking death!

Bai Xiaofeng made a sound, leaned back, his legs were dangling, and he was humming a tune, looking careless.
