C583 Serial Killing
"Little Young Master!"
"Little Young Master!"
The moment Ning Lo stepped inside, he found that the passageway leading to Wai Canghai's room was filled with people standing at 5 steps, 10 steps, and 10 steps.
Some core members were even equipped with firearms, appearing as if they were about to face a great enemy.
Ning Lo nodded and pushed Wai Canghai's door open.
In the room, the leather sofa was made into a temporary bed by Wai Canghai.
At this moment, Wai Canghai and Woo Zhantian were sitting cross-legged on it.
Woo Zhantian turned his back towards Wai Canghai, who was continuously channeling his Zhen Qi with his palms on Woo Zhantian's back.
Perhaps it was because they had maintained this posture for too long, but at this moment, their bodies were covered in a layer of dense sweat.
Inside the house stood several trusted aides, daggers and submachine guns in their hands.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, they were all on guard. When they saw Ning Lo enter, they all relaxed.
"How is it? Have you made any progress?"
"Little Young Master, the situation isn't too clear. Master Wai has been treating Young Master Wu since he came back last night, and he hasn't stopped since. During this period of time, the fifth master had vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, but there was no sign of him waking up.
On the side, a trusted aide whispered to Ning Lo.
"He didn't wake up?"
Ning Lo was slightly shocked.
He remembered that when he brought Woo Zhantian to rush out of the foot of the South Mountain Mountain last night, this brat still had some awareness.
Why was the treatment going on worse than before?
He was somewhat puzzled.
"He hasn't woken up yet. We don't know much about him either, so we'll have to wait for Master Wai to finish his treatment before we can ask him about it."
"Right, Little Young Master, this is a report from the Yanjing. It's from my family."
As he spoke, the latter took a piece of information from his pocket and handed it to Ning Lo.
This was a piece of confidential information that was kept under special seal. It was similar to the previous sealed confidential letter. However, aside from the style, there was also a fundamental difference.
After the confidential letter was sealed and encrypted, except for a few people who could open it, if anyone tried to open it, the information inside would be destroyed and disappear without a trace.
Ning Lo was still in the Yanjing when he was young. His hoodlum father had once handed over the family's intelligence department to his mother for a period of time, and he had once seen this kind of letter being opened while sitting in his mother's arms.
It was amazing.
But now, he understood the principle behind this.
When the letter was sealed, there was a certain amount of spirit energy stored inside, or perhaps true energy or true essence (Profound energy was below the level of origin energy, and spirit energy). Earth Stage was true energy, and above Earth Stage was true essence.
Only when spiritual energy of the same attribute comes into contact with the letter would it be able to undo the mechanism on the letter, and the spiritual energy in the letter would produce destructive damage to the information.
Ning Lo easily opened the letter after sending a thread of spiritual energy into the letter.
The letter was personally written by his aunt, Ning Qingcheng. The handwriting was delicate and rich, but it was not vigorous. It was like the letter was written in the style of a rich family.
However, Ning Lo was more concerned with the contents of the letter than with the beauty of the characters.
There was only one sentence in the entire letter — Last night at the foot of Swallow Mountain, your elder brother had been attacked by some unknown origin. He was seriously injured and currently unconscious! Aside from your big brother, some of the other important disciples in the side branch of Ning Family also received quite a bit of impact, resulting in some deaths or injuries. Stay in Jiang City alone for a while, don't go out for the next few times, and be careful as much as possible. If it's not possible, then move to Old Wei's side. He's using Earth Stage, so he can still guarantee your safety!
His simple and concise sentence revealed an extremely serious matter.
It has to be said that Ning Family was one of the five great families in the Dragon Country, and in the past few decades, they had always been the heart of authority for the Dragon Country.
It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that he could cover the sky with one hand, but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could call the wind and summon the rain.
In the past, many people would have to look forward to such a clan's existence, afraid of offending them.
But the year seemed to be changing.
During the latter half of the year, Ning Lo heard too much about some forces that were hidden in the dark and started to act against Ning Family.
Even his aunt, Lau Baiyi, and Ye Chen's uncle Ye Qiu all said the same thing.
It was as if Ning Family had become the target of public criticism overnight. Anyone would want to bully a street rat.
And last night, such a shocking thing happened.
Without exception, all of the members of the Ning Family younger generation, including himself, had suffered a blow and even lost many people.
"Even the boss who was far away in the Yanjing and the other branch disciples were attacked? "Looks like the heavens are going to change."
Ning Lo's pupils contracted. He rubbed his fingers and muttered to himself.
All of this gave him a sense of conspiracy.
Some people wanted to use their Ning Family, but as they were helpless against the old thing and their aunt, they chose to attack the younger generation that had yet to fully mature.
However, what Ning Lo didn't understand was what happened.
There had always been a rule in Dragon Country that the grudges and grievances of the various great families could not be resolved by bullying the weak.
In short, he was the elder of one clan, and in principle, he couldn't make a move against the younger generation of another clan.
However, last night's situation clearly exceeded this limit.
"Cough cough cough …" "Such a vicious heart. Such a cruel person. I must be more careful. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Young Master Wu would really go to King Yan's place this time."
At this time, Wai Canghai let out a long sigh and ended the treatment. He then stood up.
At the same time, Woo Zhantian, who was in front of her, spat out another mouthful of blood.
Ning Lo looked down and saw a few Gu Worm the size of pinky fingers wriggling inside.
"Gu Worm?!"
All of a sudden, Ning Lo's pupils constricted and his heart sank.
If he remembered correctly, he did not sense Gu Master's existence last night during the battle.
How did Tian get infected by the Gu?
No wonder with Wai Canghai's Earth Stage, treating Woo Zhantian would take around seven to eight hours.
"Young master, you've come up. Have you recovered well?"
"I'm fine, it's just that I consumed too much energy last night. Is Tian alright?"
"It should be fine now. Young master, what was the origin of the battle with you two last night? Why is there a way to place the Gu?"
"If I tell you that none of them is Gu Master, would you believe me?"
Ning Lo looked at Wai Canghai and said solemnly.
"No Gu Master, what's going on with that Young Master Wu? These are all Soul Devouring Gu. I found out that one of them went into Young Master Wu's head. If he went in, even the immortals of Da Lou would not be able to save him."
"I'm not sure either, but none of the three powers that fought against us last night were Gu Master."
"Three waves?" Didn't you guys say that it's two groups of people? "
Hearing this, Wai Canghai's face instantly turned cold. He suddenly turned around and looked at his men.
After receiving Ning Lo last night, Wai Canghai directly sent people to the scene to search for clues.
Before he treated Woo Zhantian, the subordinate reported that two battles had occurred, which didn't match with Little Young Master's.
"Reporting to Master Wai, there are indeed two groups of people. We found the corpses of these people, but when we went over, the people from Jiang City had already been restrained. The time difference between the two groups was about a few minutes. Then, Little Young Master escaped with Young Master Wu and a witness. As for why Little Young Master was at odds with him, that was... We don't know. "
The people behind were a bit embarrassed.
This was indeed the information they had been searching for.
"You all …!"
Wai Canghai frowned and his expression became dark.
"Uncle Wai, you don't have to blame them. Last night, I fought against three waves without a mistake. However, two of them were humans while the other one was five Strange Beast."
"Strange Beast? Little Young Master, you mean, the mountain behind Jiangcheng University? "
All of a sudden, Wai Canghai understood.
"That's right!" I killed those 28 people first. There are other forces surrounding us, so I didn't dare to stay any longer. I left with Tian. After travelling more than ten kilometers, we met those five Strange Beast in another valley and fought a bloody battle.
"That's why I said we didn't meet Gu Master last night."
"Could it be that Gu Master had secretly drugged Young Master Wu?"
"It's not impossible, but I don't think it's likely. Last night I realized that these people were after me, and that they were here to hang me. Tian has lost his value, do you think they will still kill him? "
"It seems that the possibility isn't high, but this Soul Devouring Gu doesn't seem to be easy to explain."
"We'll know when Tian wakes up and asks him."
Ning Lo glanced at Woo Zhantian, who was being helped to lie on the sofa by his subordinates, and felt guilty.
Initially, he didn't have anything to do with this fellow, but because of his friendship with Zhang Xuan, he was targeted and nearly lost his life.
"Oh right, a letter came from Yanjing. I just read it, what do you think happened?"
"Could it be that aside from you, Little Young Master, someone else's Yanjing was in trouble last night?"
In the end, Wai Canghai was an old man who had stayed in Ning Family for many years. With just a glance from Ning Lo, he could guess a little.
"That's right, my elder brother was heavily injured, and as for the disciples from the other branches, some of them died." Last night, there were some people who planned to take action against my Ning Family, which was fierce enough, and they wanted to annihilate my Ning Family's young generation. "
The moment Ning Lo finished his words, the aura around him suddenly became cold, as if the temperature around him had dropped by quite a bit.
"Not long ago, my family's intelligence network received some fragmented information. I reported it to them, but in the end, it didn't attract any attention. Who would've thought …"
"Did you get the news earlier?"
"Hm!" Do you still remember Liu Renhuai? "
"Of course I remember. What? Was the news revealed by him?"
"That's not true. Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on this kid? That's why I've been sending people to monitor him." "This brat is very cunning, he even managed to shake off our tail several times."
"Later on, when I saw that I couldn't dig anything out of this kid, I should have targeted the lackeys beside him. That was why I got such a small harvest. "But at the same time, all the people who are with Liu Renhuai are very vigilant. Our people drank with him for a few days, and paid a huge price to know who the person behind Liu Renhuai is and seemed to be dissatisfied with the actions you took against Liu Renhuai."
"But that kid didn't say much. He just mentioned it for a bit and then stopped talking. Due to the information being too fragmented and a small fry, the family didn't take it too seriously. I was prepared to tell Little Young Master about it, but in the end, you went to the Hai City.
Wai Canghai sighed, "If I knew that the situation was so serious, I would have called the Old Master."
"It doesn't matter who you call. At that time, even you didn't think it was possible, so how could you convince my grandfather? All his life he believed in evidence. "
"Forget it, since what has happened has already happened, so what's done is done. "Just be more careful in the future."
"Since everyone is dead, I can't just go to the Underworld and get them back."
Ning Lo grunted, "You think my Ning Family, which is also known as one of the five great families of Dragon Country, has fallen to the level of people shouting for battle? It's truly a failure. "Uncle Wai, do you know what happened here?"
"This … Little Young Master, to tell you the truth, ever since I followed Little Young Master, I have started to hide some information from my family, whether intentionally or not. However, I do not know about this information."
Wai Canghai felt a burst of awkwardness.
He was hesitating, unsure of whether this was true or false.
"Forget it, I won't ask you." Things are going on, and there will always be a day to know, won't there? I just hope that at that time, I won't have to face a situation that is even more miserable than three years ago. "
Ning Lo laughed at himself and waved at the others.
"You guys go out first, I need to talk to Uncle Wai about something alone."
"Yes sir!"
A few trusted aides nodded and left the room.
Ning Lo then signaled Wai Canghai to bring the fruit plate over, and swept his hand across the Storage Ring.
In the next second, a bloody Strange Beast head directly appeared on the fruit plate.
Even Wai Canghai was shocked.
Only after a long while did he regain his senses.
"Little Young Master, is that the Strange Beast that you killed?"
"That's right, all of them were in the late stage of Profound Stage, so they had a total of five. This is the one with the head of a leopard. "One more thing."
"Five late stage Profound Stage s, Little Young Master, you killed them all by yourself?"
Wai Canghai looked at Ning Lo in shock.
"You also know that those who follow this old man, there will always be some life-saving moves. I have even played a few rounds with someone at the peak of the Earth Stage, let alone someone at the late stage of the Profound Stage."0
"Little Young Master, you're the only one who said that. Other people don't believe me when they say I'm a servant."
Wai Canghai sighed.
"In any case, I used to be the top student under 30. Although I have not been here for a long time, I still have some background." I didn't take it out for you to see, but because I suspect that the Strange Beast is being controlled from the back. "
"The Strange Beast is being controlled, this … Is that possible? "
"Before, I also thought that it was impossible, but now, I can believe it."
Ning Lo looked at Woo Zhantian who was still unconscious, and suddenly smacked the Strange Beast on the head.
Something fell from his neck.
"Gu Worm!"
Wai Canghai exclaimed.
