Chapter 289 The Witness Is Gone
Chapter 289 The Witness Is Gone
Ever since Qin Baiqing locked onto the person behind her, the other party's hiding skills have been greatly reduced in her eyes.
Just like now, although the opponent has perfectly concealed his aura, Qin Baiqing did not even hesitate. He immediately turned his gaze and locked onto the assassin again.
Before the opponent was about to be hit by the attack, he reacted quickly and escaped from his hands.
The man obviously had an impression of Qin Baiqing. After successfully dodging, he had no intention of taking action. He just dodged and wanted to leave. His figure retreated a hundred feet away and was about to escape from Qin Baiqing again.
But this time she was prepared early.
"System, let's chase!"
The attacker's methods were unpredictable, and Qin Baiqing was worried that she would lose him, so she simply used the system to track him.
The system reliably recorded the man's characteristics and led Qin Baiqing along the direction of his escape. Even though Qin Baiqing could not see the man's fleeing figure clearly, the system projected the route directly in front of her, so she chased in the direction where the man escaped and hid.
The two men, one chasing and the other fleeing, passed quickly over the sky. Someone below noticed something was wrong and wanted to check it out.
But I only had time to see the two people breaking through the clouds, but could not capture their figures.
All the way to Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect's formation repels foreign objects. Qin Baiqing didn't think the other party had the ability to get in, so he leisurely slowed down and waited for the man to fall into his hands.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even stop, and broke into Qingyun Sect directly, without anyone coming to stop him.
"not good!"
The opponent's strength is more mysterious than I imagined!
Qin Baiqing realized something and caught up with the man again while sending a message to Ping Haoran, reminding him to keep up his state of mind in the sect and never let this man break into the disciples' retreat.
Even if no one advances, the retreat place is not a quiet place that can be easily disturbed. They cannot let this person affect their disciples again!
The two of them had almost unimpeded access in Qingyun Sect.
The message had already been sent, but Qin Baiqing still couldn't let go of her worries.
The direction the assassin was heading was exactly where the Qingyun Sect was in seclusion, and he seemed to know everything about the internal affairs of the Qingyun Sect, which clearly showed that he was well prepared.
Especially when she saw the direction the man was heading, Qin Baiqing's heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, finally dropped. But she didn't feel relieved, but instead felt heavy in her heart.
The one who is in seclusion now is Ping Haoran.
The purpose of this person rushing into Qingyun Sect today was obviously to attack Ping Haoran and the elders of Qingyun Sect.
"The old man is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed!" Qin Baiqing no longer hesitated, quickened his pace and caught up with the man, and finally arrived in front of the cave where Ping Haoran was in seclusion before the man.
The man had a clear goal and acted without hesitation. He launched a powerful and full-strength attack directly towards Ping Haoran's cave, which was even more ruthless than when he dealt with Du Huizhou.
It seemed that he had learned a lesson from himself and was worried that he would be attacked by himself again, so he simply decided to win by force and came to do something that could affect Ping Haoran.
But Qin Baiqing was not afraid at all. She had already prepared herself mentally for this man to get angry, so she started to use the Five Elements.
The thick and gentle earth path blocked Ping Haoran's cave, and the water path like spring rain followed closely above his head, moistening everything silently and dissolving the powerful attack again.
When he was stopped by the same person for the second time, that person became obviously impatient and his movements were no longer as decisive as at the beginning.
Even before running away, he looked back unwillingly in the direction of Qin Baiqing.
Then he disappeared again, trying to escape again by the same method he had used before.
Qin Baiqing would definitely not give him a second chance.
She continued to chase after him, leaving the retreat area in the back mountain. Just when she was about to catch up with him, she was stopped by the oncoming attack. "Who is it!" she was shocked.
Could it be that these people have already infiltrated Qingyun Sect!
"Little thief, where are you running?"
"Elder, we caught the murderer!"
"This man was extremely daring and committed many evil things, but he was finally captured by our Qingyun Sect!"
Several excited voices were heard from behind the attack. Qin Baiqing identified the tone and withdrew his hand, looking at the elders opposite in silence.
Eyes wide open.
"Where is the thief?" asked the elder who had laughed the loudest just now in confusion.
"I was just about to ask you something," Qin Baiqing sighed, "Didn't I send you a message? Asking you to be on guard against the sect." Is this how they are on guard?
After talking, I found out that these people were guarding here cautiously and not daring to be careless just because they received Qin Baiqing's reminder. Who knew that in the end, it was Qin Baiqing who was stopped by accident.
"After we received your message, we also thought of the thief who attacked the advanced cultivators in the cultivation world," Qi Pulan was also in the crowd and stepped forward to explain:
"Right now, only the headmaster is in seclusion to advance. We dare not be careless, so we are here to guard. What is going on today——"
Before she finished her words, a sharp and sharp sound of "clang" came from behind her.
The sound of gold colliding was extremely harsh, and it seemed as if one could feel the cold sword energy from the sword even from a distance.
Li Ziwen's gaze fell on one place, and he did not hold back when he attacked. He used both swords to strike together, forcing the man hiding in the dark out.
He was so sharp that he could detect the thief who even he had difficulty detecting! Qin Baiqing was amazed and unbelievable.
The thief who broke into the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect was eavesdropping not far away from where the few people were gathered.
Relying on his perfect concealment skills, he stood not far away and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation, trying to get some useful information from Qin Baiqing.
Unexpectedly, Li Ziwen suddenly took action.
He didn't even react for a moment, and just folded his arms in a eavesdropping posture. He was stunned when he was forced out, and after staring at everyone in silence for a long time, he flashed and fled again.
It's too late this time.
"Trap!" Qin Baiqing shouted loudly and set up a trap formation before the thief could make any move.
The man tried to break out of the blockade, but to no avail. Qin Baiqing breathed a sigh of relief, raised his chin and approached the man with satisfaction, thinking about what question would be most appropriate to torture him with.
"Now, tell the truth," she stepped on the man and looked down at him, "Tell me everything you know, don't try to hide it, or I will do it myself!"
The elders also broke out in cold sweats thinking “that was a close call”.
While complimenting Li Ziwen, they approached the thief to interrogate him. Seeing that Qin Baiqing had already started, they all looked at the man leisurely.
As a result, the next moment, the man's eyes suddenly turned gray.
The person who was struggling just now collapsed to the ground, his spirit was destroyed and he was no longer alive.
Everyone present was a powerful being with impressive cultivation base. They knew without any hesitation that this man was already dead beyond death.
"The witness is gone..."
Qin Baiqing frowned, gaining a new understanding of the ruthlessness of the person behind the scenes.
And... the witnesses are dead and no information can be dug up, which means that it is impossible to attribute these assassins to the same clan and it is impossible to prove that they are in collusion.
