26: C26 It All Depends on Acting

C26 It All Depends on Acting

Qin Zheng was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. A guard was kneeling on the ground in fear. On the left side of the chair sat a tall and thin man in purple.

"Tell me what happened." Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Last night, we were guarding the cold storage. For some reason, we all fell asleep. When we woke up, the body of the assassin who tried to assassinate Lin Muqing was gone. Second young master, please punish us!" The guard heavily knocked his head on the ground.

"Looks like some people are anxious. They actually took the risk and stole the corpse." Qin Zheng snorted lightly, "You go down first. You must keep this matter a secret."

"Yes, thank you, Second Young Master!" The guard felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly retreated.

"Shih Teng, what do you think of this matter?" Qin Zheng looked at the man in purple.

"The assassin is at least at the fifth level of the Pulse Opening, but we can't find any information about him in the Registration Centre. This means that he isn't part of the Qin Family's normal organization. Perhaps the eldest young master has some power that can't be underestimated in private. " Shih Teng said slowly.

Qin Zheng nodded. He also thought of this.

He had never thought that this idiot Qin Gaang would have such courage and intelligence. He definitely had a master by his side to guide him.

"Now that the assassin's corpse has been stolen, let's put this matter aside for now." Qin Zheng rubbed his brows, "It's almost time for the Beast Hunting Association. Come with me this time."

"It's my duty." Shih Teng cupped his fists.

"Come, accompany me to see Lin Yue. There are some things that I need to clarify." Qin Zheng stood up and walked outside.

Hwa Zhuyin had already told him that Lin Yue had woken up. Of course, she did not come to report this matter, but to ask for payment.

Qin Zheng could not understand why Hua Butuo accepted such a money-grubber disciple.

Creak!

Qin Zheng pushed open the door and saw that Qin Zheng was still lying on the bed.

"Lin Yue." Qin Zheng called out tentatively, and Shih Teng followed him in.

Lin Yue frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's the second young master." Lin Yue said hurriedly and wanted to get up, but it seemed to have affected his wound, causing him to grin in pain.

"Don't move. Lie down properly." Qin Zheng said hastily.

"Good acting. It's a pity that you don't want to be an actress. Damn it," ___ said. The Moon-devouring Dog's disdainful voice sounded.

When Qin Zheng was about to reach the main entrance of the courtyard, Lin Yue already knew that he was here. He was pretending to be asleep.

Lin Yue couldn't be bothered with the Moon-devouring Dog. He was thinking about how to deal with what would happen next.

"Lin Yue, what happened that night? There was almost nothing left in your room. Why didn't we hear such a big commotion?" Qin Zheng was very curious.

Lin Yue smiled bitterly. When he said that the assassin knew how to set up the formation, Qin Zheng and Shih Teng looked at each other in shock.

"How did you avoid the assassin's assassination?" Qin Zheng continued to ask.

"I'm not his opponent, and I can't escape either. He touched me lightly, and my right fist was destroyed." Lin Yue said helplessly.

His right fist was wrapped in layers of gauze. It was hard to tell whether it was good or bad.

"Then why didn't he just kill you?"

"He wanted to interrogate me. How many things have I helped you do in the past year? What other plans do you have?" Lin Yue said.

"At first, in order to save my life, I endured the pain and made up a few lines. Later, he saw through me. I flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to kill me. At this time, another person appeared. "

Qin Zheng frowned. As expected, there was an expert helping him.

" The two of them started a fight right away. I was dazzled by what I saw. Everything in the room had been destroyed by them. After that, for some reason, the killer just stood there and did not move. Only when he fell down did I know he was dead." Lin Yue had a look of shock on his face.

"Who was the one who saved you?" Qin Zheng asked.

Lin Yue shook his head. "It was too dark in the room. To be honest, I didn't even see the assassin's face clearly."

" Oh, what happened after that?" Qin Zheng still did not believe it.

"Later that person searched the assassin's body for a while and left after saying a word."

"What did he say?" Qin Zheng was a little nervous. He realized that what he said was very important.

"He said he finally found it." Lin Yue also looked confused. "After that, I fainted. When I woke up again, I was here."

"I finally found it... No wonder the assassin's Storage Ring disappeared. It turned out that the assassin took it away." Qin Zheng had someone check the assassin's corpse. There were traces of a ring on his right index finger, indicating that he had the Storage Ring.

With this, the matter became much more complicated.

That person's goal did not seem to be to save Lin Yue, but to obtain the assassin's Storage Ring.

"A Storage Ring that can arrange formations is indeed very tempting." Qin Zheng thought in his heart, but he did not have any clue about this matter for the time being.

Shih Teng did not believe Lin Yue. He looked at Lin Yue from head to toe and confirmed that he had not cultivated before.

"Oh right, let me introduce you. This is Shih Teng, my good brother." Qin Zheng introduced him.

Lin Yue hurriedly greeted Shih Teng. This person's strength was not weaker than Qin Zheng, or even higher.

To be called a brother by Qin Zheng meant that this man couldn't be underestimated.

"The Beast Hunting Association will be here in a while. Take care of your injuries and come with me when the time comes." Qin Zheng said.

He knew Lin Yue did not know martial arts, but the Beast Hunting Association would last for a month. He needed someone to give him advice.

Besides, during the Beast Hunting Association, Qin Zheng would arrange for his elite subordinates to be in the Demon Mountain in advance. He would not be at ease even if Lin Yue was at home.

Seeing that Lin Yue was puzzled, Qin Zheng told him some of the rules of the Beast Hunting Association.

In this world, wild beasts could also cultivate, and were called demon beasts. Their levels were divided into one, two, and nine.

The location of the Beast Hunting Association was the Demon Mountain. The demon beasts here were basically all First Level, and their fiercest combat strength was comparable to a peak Pulse Opening Stage.

The Demon Mountain was very dangerous, and every time the Hunter Association was held, someone would be killed.

"Do you believe what Lin Yue said?" Qin Zheng asked after he returned from Lin Yue's place.

Shih Teng shook his head, "I can't find any flaws in this kid's words. It's just that this matter is too strange. There are only two possibilities for that expert to sneak in."

"One is that he has already reached the Star-treading Stage. The other possibility is that this person is also a disciple of the Qin Family. He is usually in the inner courtyard of the Qin Family."

"The first possibility isn't very high. As for the second possibility, besides the Duke of Qin, the only people who can bring someone into the inner courtyard without having to register are you and the Eldest Young Master..." Shih Teng said slowly.

Qin Zheng understood what he meant. If he didn't send anyone, then they could only be Qin Gaang's subordinates.

If that was the case, even if there was hatred between the experts and the assassins, they wouldn't keep Lin Yue alive.

"You mean that Lin Yue is hiding something from us?" Qin Zheng frowned.

Shih Teng nodded and shook his head. "Maybe, maybe not."

"What do you mean?"

"Lin Yue was originally an ordinary person. After he was seriously injured, it is possible that he could not remember some things." Shih Teng said.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's think about the trip to the Demon Mountain first. Qin Gaang will definitely not be obedient. You go and make the arrangements first. If Qin Gaang really dares to make a move in the Demon Mountain, we don't need to be polite! " Qin Zheng said.

Shih Teng should withdraw.

"Qin Gaang, don't let me down..." The corner of Qin Zheng's mouth curled up as he played with the jade pendant in his hand.

Lin Yue waited for Qin Zheng to leave before entering Fiendgod Pagoda to cultivate.

There was pure spiritual energy in the Fiendgod Pagoda, so it would be twice the result with half the effort. With the help of the power of ice marrow, Lin Yue could vaguely feel the barrier of the fourth energy vein loosening.

"Before entering the Demon Mountain, I must break through to the fourth level. Also, I must reach the third level of the Nine-heavens Wind Controlling Arts. At that time, I will be able to ride the wind. Even if we can't defeat him, we shouldn't have any problem escaping. " Lin Yue sat cross-legged and started cultivating.

The Moon-devouring Dog lay beside him, sleeping soundly.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Beast Hunting Competition had arrived.

"Luckily, I finally broke through." Lin Yue was in high spirits. He clenched his fist and concentrated his strength. He threw a punch, and the air actually made a slight explosive sound.

"Very good. The strength of this punch is at least 1,500 Jin." Lin Yue smiled slightly. With a light step, he actually went from the bedside to the door.

"Nine-heavens Wind Controlling Arts, it is indeed powerful. Among Pulse Opening Stage warriors, there shouldn't be many who are faster than me. Adding the power of the Ice Marrow, as long as I don't meet any powerful opponents, I can save my life. " Lin Yue was very satisfied.

At this moment, he furrowed his brows. A thousand meters away, Spring Apricot was walking towards them.

Entering the fourth level of the Pulse Opening Stage had made his divine sense much stronger, allowing him to hear further and see more real.

"Lin Muqing, the second young master wants you to go over. We're about to set off." Not long later, Chun Xing spoke in a low voice outside the door.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Yue became sickly and opened the door.

Someone had already prepared a carriage and carried Lin Yue to the gathering place.

The participants of this beast hunting gathering were mainly the children of the Qin Family.

This was the rule of the Qin Family. The children of the Qin Family who were 15 years old and below 30 years old, regardless of their family background, were required to participate in the Beast Hunting Competition if there were no special circumstances.

Qin Yue was in charge of this mission. He brought everyone and set off towards the Demon Mountain in a grandiose manner.

Everyone rode horses or carriages at a very fast speed. Two hours later, they arrived in front of a continuous stretch of mountain range.

Several simple tents had already been set up on a flat ground.

"Before entering the Demon Mountain, I will emphasize the rules once more!" Qin Yue's dignified voice rang out.

"The purpose of the Beast Hunting Association is to allow you all to quickly grow in the battle with demon beasts. If you find any deficiencies, you will be able to increase your cultivation base. Remember, do not kill each other. Once you find out, you will be punished by military law! " Qin Yue's words were like thunder that shook people's hearts.

"After entering the Demon Mountain, those below the Fourth Level Pulse Opening Stage, don't cross Liu Xi. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. The time limit for entering the mountain is one month. During this period of time, the number of Demon Cores obtained will increase. The higher the quality, the more rewards one would receive. The top three places will receive rewards personally bestowed by the Duke of Qin. " Qin Yue continued.

"The reward for this year's first place is a Third Class Elixir!"

As Qin Yue's voice faded, the crowd went silent for a moment. After a moment, the crowd started boiling.

A Third Class Elixir, what a tempting reward!1

"Heavens, if I had this Pill, I would definitely be able to break through the shackles of many years and break through to the seventh layer. I might even be able to break through to the eighth layer in one go!"

Everyone's eyes burned with passion. The temptation of this reward was simply too great.

"Everyone, dismount and enter the Demon Mountain!"
