C1416 Luring the Snake out of the Hole
1416. Luring the snake out of its hole.
It had been two months since the last time he killed the Demonic Heart Pirates. The advisor that the woman spoke of... Ning Qi suspected that it was Pi Jiu, who was standing beside the young Sect Leader of the Misty Sect. He couldn't enter the Misty Sect. He could only choose to lure Pi Jiu out. If he could lure that young Sect Leaders out... That would be even better. Ning Qi could try out the power of the Coiling Dragon Staff and the Nine Reserve Divine Bell.
"Shopkeeper Ning, you don't even need to hire a few cultivators to guard this merchant group?"
In Jianyang Market, a total of more than 50 merchant caravans set off together. As everyone's goods were more valuable this time, after some discussion, they decided to group up and travel together. This way, they would be able to fight together with the cultivators invited by the various bandit families.
The group that was walking side by side with Ning Qi was the Long Teng merchant caravan. When Ning Qi heard this name, his expression was a bit strange. He couldn't help but sigh with admiration that there were really Long Teng everywhere. However, this Long Teng was not Long Teng.
The young master of the Soaring Dragon trade caravans seemed to be in his twenties, and his actual age was over a hundred years old. He had a Late Combat Core cultivation base, but in this place, he could only be considered a 'junior'.
"Young Master Long, according to the legends, there have been a few Devil Heart Thieves in this place. Even if this old man invites a dozen Eternal Stage Cultivators, will they be a match for the Devil Heart Pirates?"
Ning Qi said with a smile on his face.
"That's true."
Young Master Long nodded and said with a sigh, "These bandits are really inhumane. It was not easy for us Low Rank Cultivator to form a team. We will fight for some cultivation resources for ourselves. As long as we meet them once... All of our hard work will go down the drain."
"Young Master Long, you must be careful when you speak. It's hard to guarantee that we don't have any spies among us. If you speak ill of them like that, what will we do if we are implicated?"
The other team slowed down and walked side by side with Ning Qi and Young Master Long's team. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression. His cultivation base was about the same as Young Master Long's.
There were more than a hundred Battle Core Stage warriors in these dozens of groups, including the guards they had hired. Even if they encountered Eternal Stage bandits, they would still be able to fight them.
However, judging from their experience, it was more or less enough for them to encounter Battle Core Stage bandits. How could the Eternal Stage Cultivator take a fancy to a small business like theirs?
"Lin Yuv, look at what you're saying. If there really is a spy among the bandits, I don't need to say anything bad about it. They will also attack us. If you are so afraid of the bandits, why don't you go home and stay for a while? Why do you need to come out and do business?"
Young Master Long said sarcastically.
When the middle-aged man who was called Lin Yuv heard this, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he was afraid of Young Master Long and did not continue to argue with him. Instead, his gaze fell on Ning Qi.
"Rich merchant group, haha, they really dare to name such a shabby group. They also dare to call themselves rich merchants? A few days ago, I heard that you robbed something that the Nangong family and the Sun family took a fancy to in Jianyang City. I advise you to leave the team. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep these things!"
Lin Yuv said with a sneer.
"Lin Yuv, what did you say?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded in front of them.
When Lin Yuv heard this, he smiled and said, "I misspoke, please forgive me, Nangong Young Lord!"
"If there is a next time, die!"
A cold voice drifted over once again, and Lin Yuv immediately shut his mouth. After that, he threw a glance at Ning Qi, shook his head, and hid in the carriage.
"What Lin Yuv said makes some sense. Manager Ning, I think you should think about it."
Young Master Long suddenly sent a voice transmission.
Ning Qi smiled and glanced at him, then at Lin Yuv's carriage. He said with a faint voice transmission, "We are all businessmen. I am quite confident in the Nangong family and the Sun family."
Young Master Long thought for a moment and felt that what Ning Qi said made sense. This group was formed by the Nangong family and the Sun family, although there was a rumor that these two families did something despicable behind their backs. These two families each had a Dharma Image Cultivator. It was normal for them to be overbearing during normal days.
A few days later, the group in front of them gradually slowed down. The caravan from the Nangong family and the Sun family suddenly turned around and left. The managers of each caravan were watching this scene in silence.
Not long after that, the men from the two caravans surrounded Ning Qi's caravan.
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will be at a disadvantage."
Lin Yuv said to Ning Qi via divine sense. Then, he tactfully led his caravan to the side.
Young Master Long looked at this scene in bewilderment. Suddenly, he forced a smile and said, "You two, I don't know what happened. Why don't you continue moving forward?"
The leader of the Nangong family was the son of the patriarch, Young Lord of the Nangong family. He wasn't very old, but his cultivation base had already reached the Late Period of Battle Core Stage Peak, and he wasn't very far away from the Eternal Stage.
The leader of the Sun family was an old man. Both of them looked at Ning Qi with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Manager Ning, right? A few days ago, I heard from my subordinates that you had an argument with them in the Jianyang Market. How many stalks of three thousand years old immortal grass and herbs did you steal?"
Nangong Young Lord said with a faint smile.
The managers of the merchant groups nearby looked at Ning Qi with pity. In their opinion, if Ning Qi didn't hand over those few stalks of immortal grass and herbs, he wouldn't be able to leave today.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Qi cast a sidelong glance at the two men.
Nuwa was obediently kneeling beside Ning Qi and massaging his legs.
"Hehe, it's nothing. Since the two of us have taken a liking to these herbs, they naturally belong to us. We won't bully you. We will charge you whatever price you pay."
Nangong Young Lord said in a flat tone.
"Not for sale."
Ning Qi said with a smile on his face.
Both of their expressions changed instantly. Nangong Young Lord coldly looked at Ning Qi from head to toe and said, "If you're not selling it, we won't force you to sell it, but your team can't be with us anymore."
"As you wish."
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
"I hope you don't encounter any bandits. I heard that this road has been very chaotic recently."
Nangong Young Lord sneered, then he exchanged a glance with the leader of the Sun family. He turned around and left. At the same time, a few guards stayed where they were, staring at Ning Qi with fierce eyes. After the large group of people had left, they turned around and left.
"Let's go too."
Ning Qi said with a smile that was not a smile.
About a few hundred miles away.
"Master, a group of people is chasing us."
Nuwa said with a smile.
"It looks like Nangong and Gongsun Tianyang's dogs are chasing us."
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
"The people in front, you..."
Puff!
With a light palm strike, hundreds of figures were turned into ashes within a breath's time.
"Now, they have killed so many people. I really don't feel anything at all. These... are just ants."1
Ning Qi could already somewhat understand the mentality of the Dragon Clan when they saw the Human Clan.
After another few hundred miles, Ning Qi saw the caravan led by the Nangong family and the Sun family. At this moment, everyone was standing on the spot with a pale face, and dozens of figures were standing on top of their heads.
"How is it? Is it him?"
In the air, Pi Jiu wore a silver mask on his face and said lightly.
"Advisor, that person is not here."
One of the Devil Heart Pirates shook his head and said.
"You, you are the Demonic Heart Pirates..."
Nangong Young Lord suddenly cried out in fear. He recognized the mask Pi Jiu was wearing, and in an instant, countless figures fell to the ground with weak legs. If they encountered the Demon Heart Pirates, they would die for sure!
