C3388 The Dragon's Den and the Tiger's Den
The Dragon's Lake and Tiger's Cavern.
If there was really a problem with the toad market and it was related to the Dark Cultivator, if he wanted to prove this point, he could only do it from the Toad Zhenren. Perhaps, he was using the Dark Cultivator to confuse the Supreme Holy Council and the other major powers.
Thinking of this, Ning Qi walked around the toad market a few more times, then walked towards the toad's cave.
"He's here. There is indeed a problem with this kid."
The toad man had been paying attention to Ning Qi's movements. When he saw Ning Qi walking towards him, a serious expression appeared on his face.
Not long after, one of his subordinates rushed to the front of the toad man and said in a low voice, "Owner, that Immortal Palace Cultivator just now wants to see you."
"Invite him in, then you and the others can leave."
The toad man's eyes slightly moved as he said.
"Yes."
Not long after that, Ning Qi walked up to the toad man with a smile on his face. The cultivators who brought him here immediately retreated.
"I wonder if Young Master Chiang has anything that I can help you with?"
The toad man said with a smile on his face.
"I have a question, Master Toad said. I don't know if I should ask it."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
A serious look flashed across the toad man's eyes. He smiled and said, "Young Master Chiang, if I know, I will tell you everything I know."
"I followed the route left by a senior and found this place. That senior once told me that this is the settlement of the Dark Cultivator. I wonder what opinion does the toad man have on this matter?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"The settlement of the Dark Cultivator?"
The toad man was stunned, then he smiled and said, "Young Master Chiang wouldn't dare to say that. If this news were to spread out, I will receive the Boundless Cultivator every day. Just a few days ago, there were a few Boundless Cultivators that passed by this small place."
"Let's not talk about this openly. I'm here to break through to the Karmic Stage, and I don't need the approval of the Supreme Holy Council."
Ning Qi said in a flat tone.
"What? You don't need the approval of Supreme Holy Council? Doesn't that mean that everyone has the right to punish the Dark Cultivator? Young Master Chiang couldn't do that. If the Supreme Holy Council found out about this, they would send the Boundless Cultivator to hunt you down every single day. Even if you go to heaven or earth, you have nowhere to hide!"
Daoist Toad was startled at first, but he quickly tried to persuade Ning Qi.
His expression and tone seemed to have no flaws. Unfortunately, Ning Qi had to be right!
"Since you don't want to say it out loud, I will kill you."
The corner of Ning Qi's mouth rose.
Daoist Toad's face was filled with astonishment. "Young Master Chiang, you have to be reasonable in everything. I'm really just a small market city, and it has nothing to do with the Dark Cultivator."
"I'm here today, and I won't give up until I achieve my goal. As for the reason, I'll wait until you die to prove that you really don't know about all of this. I'll burn an incense stick in front of your grave to express my apology."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"I..."
Reverend Toad was speechless.
Burning an incense stick to express his apology? At that time, even the corpses would be cold!
In the next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly surged out of Ning Qi's body and locked onto Reverend Toad. In front of this aura, his late Dao Seeking realm cultivation base was as insignificant as an ant.
"Young Master Chiang, let's talk this out!"
Reverend Toad exclaimed.
Ning Qi ignored him and slowly placed his palm on his head. Just as he was about to kill the toad man, the toad man's aura suddenly changed. The fear on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Ning Qi with an expressionless face. After that, his head suddenly turned into a toad's head. He opened his mouth wide, and his jaw dropped to the ground. It turned into a dark hole, and the toad man's eyes... The toad man's eyes also became unfocused, as if he had lost his mind.
An aura came out from the toad man's bloody mouth.
Karmic Stage!
"A mere Immortal Palace Cultivator dares to come here and act impudently? Tell me who told you that the toad market is connected to the Dark Cultivator, and I'll spare your life."
As he spoke, a figure slowly walked out from the toad man's mouth. It was a woman dressed in purple, and there was a beauty mark between her eyebrows. All her hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked neat and tidy, and the most important thing was that her Qi had reached the Mid Karmic Stage. Or even the Late Karmic Stage.
"Senior, are you a Dark Cultivator?"
Ning Qi's eyes moved.
He had already noticed that a formation had been set up around the room. The other party was not worried that he would escape from this place.
"You're about to die, yet you're still so calm. Tell me, who told you that this place is related to the Dark Cultivator? If you don't tell me, I'll make you wish you were dead."
Purple-clothed Woman said coldly.
"That senior is already dead. I used the clues he left behind. He said that in the settlement here, there was something that could help people bypass the Supreme Holy Council and advance. Coincidentally, I sneaked into the Shenluo Realm and just escaped from the Commoner Realm a while ago. That's why I wanted to use this item to break through to the next realm. "
Ning Qi went straight to the point and said, "If senior doesn't believe me, just use your means to investigate."
He believed that there should be a similar method to verify a person's identity in the Dark Cultivator. Otherwise, how could they live together? Just by doubting each other, it could lead to a civil war!
"Could this person really be the Dark Cultivator?"
Purple-clothed Woman frowned. After pondering for a moment, she took out a fruit from her bosom. She threw it to Ning Qi, "If you have any marks left behind by the Supreme Holy Council on your body, after eating this fruit, on the contrary, it will be an ordinary fruit. Do you dare to eat it? "
Ning Qi looked at the fruit in his hand and pinched it lightly. He crushed the fruit into pieces and shook his head. He said, "Senior, please show me your true means of verification. If I eat this Bewildering Soul Fruit, won't I be at your mercy?"
With the system around, even if Ning Qi couldn't recognize the origin of this fruit, the system could also recognize it, and it also had detailed information. The Bewildering Soul Fruit was a Profound Yin fruit just like the Spirit Cleaning Flower. After eating it, the connection between the body and the Primordial Spirit would be cut off, and at the same time, the connection with the Immortal Palace would also be cut off. The entire person would become a puppet.
"I didn't expect you to recognize the Bewitching Fruit."
Purple-clothed Woman sneered, but there was a trace of heartache in her eyes. Obviously, she felt that it was a pity that the Bewitching Fruit was crushed by Ning Qi.
"No matter how foolish this junior is, how could he dare to come here with the cultivation base of a mere Immortal Palace and seek his own death? Senior should be clear about this point."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"If you weren't clear about this, you would be dead by now. How could you still have the life to boast shamelessly in front of me? Follow me. "
Purple-clothed Woman coldly snorted and turned around to walk into the passageway formed by the toad man's bloody mouth.
Ning Qi smiled and followed her.
He was not worried that Purple-clothed Woman would use this tunnel to harm him. If she wanted to attack him, he could have used his technique to suppress her just now. There was no need to hide it.
The Supreme Holy Council couldn't get through. This was the only possibility for him to advance. Even if it was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, he still had to go through it!2
