Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 31 Tonight I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!
It's late at night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Ning Yan held five secret books and walked home with a happy face, like an old farmer after the autumn harvest.

Four of these five secret books are mental methods. Once they are studied thoroughly and combined with the Iron Saint True Art, it is believed that his cultivation speed will be able to reach a higher level. He may even be able to take this opportunity to loosen up his realm barriers.

Thinking of this, Ning Yan's steps couldn't help but become lighter.

When I returned to Heishui Hutong, the lights in Old Li's house were still on. Looking through the crack in the door, I saw that he was concentrating on copying something. It must be the "Jin Yuzhi" that I gave him last time.

Seeing how focused he was, Ning Yan stopped disturbing him and quietly returned to his old house.

After lighting the kerosene lamp, he carefully put down the box containing the secret book, opened the lid, and saw the "Three Blood Seal Body Skills" on the top layer. Ning Yan couldn't help but show a little distress on his face.

To get started with this secret book, one needs to take the blood of three things for seven consecutive days.

Ducks are easy to get, and clams are not difficult either, but where the hell can I buy this green moth?

If I catch them one by one, how long will it take me to catch them?
It seems that it is better to offer a reward to the outside world.

Most woodcutters live in poverty, and catching moths is easier than cutting wood.

Since there is a chance to help improve everyone's life, why not do it?

It is just right to let Old Li be in charge of this matter, so that he doesn't have to focus all his attention on the martial arts all day long. He is so old, and it will hurt his body if he spends too much energy.

Ning Yan was just thinking about it when there was a brief knock on the door. It sounded like someone wanted to visit, but was afraid of disturbing the people inside, so he was quite cautious and careful.

"Who?"

Ning Yan pulled open the bolt and saw a familiar face. It was Chen Jie, the captain of the Chen helm who had recently taken on the position of the head of this place.

Upon seeing Ning Yan, Captain Chen immediately clasped his hands together and said respectfully:

"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, Brother Ning."

Since taking over as the head of this area, Chen Jie has been here frequently. He watched Ning Yan reach the peak of vitality in just over half a month, surpassing his twelve years of hard training in one fell swoop.

Such a genius, as long as he does not die in the future, it is possible for him to achieve the Qi Gathering Realm, let alone the Qi Balancing Realm.

Therefore, he was even more respectful when facing Ning Yan, just like he was facing that ruthless gang leader.

Ning Yan saw that it was Chen Jie and waved his hand:
"Old Chen, we are acquaintances now. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't act like you are meeting your superior every time you come here. I am not a member of a gang."

"Brother Ning is extremely talented and will surely become a local tycoon in the future. The gang is a cesspool that cannot accommodate a giant like you."

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the matter."

Chen Jie snapped his fingers.

Immediately, two burly men came over, carrying a skinny guy.

This skinny monkey had a panicked look in his eyes, walked with a limp, and half of his face was swollen, obviously he had learned a lesson.

"This is?"

Seeing Ning Yan's puzzled expression, Chen Jie immediately explained:
“I am used to sending my subordinates to patrol the area at night to prevent any accidents from happening that I am not aware of.

As a result, my subordinates found this guy running into Heishui Hutong tonight, staring at your residence furtively. I don’t know what he was planning, so they tied him up and brought him here. "

Ning Yan listened and his eyes darkened.

He has always been kind to others, but someone is secretly watching him. What should he do?
"Who sent you?"

The skinny monkey actually had some backbone, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I won't tell."

Ning Yan glanced at Old Li's house and said slowly:

"Take him to the old locust tree first, I'll be there soon."

Chen Jie followed his instructions
After Ning Yan returned to the house, he put the five secret books on his chest and tied them tightly behind his back.

He was worried about leaving the secret book at home, so he carried it with him to protect himself from hidden arrows.

After packing up, he quickly left the house and came under the old locust tree.

Looking at the skinny monkey with a determined look on his face, Ning Yan said nothing and crushed his right little finger into pieces with one foot.

The sharp screams immediately tore through the darkness.

The two big guys next to him almost couldn't control him.

When the screams turned into faint groans of pain, Ning Yan crushed the ring finger of his right hand.

The skinny monkey twitched all over and screamed.

Before the third step landed, he shouted in a hoarse voice:
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! It was our Captain Xu who sent me here! Stop stepping on it, please stop stepping on it, wuwuwu..."

Looking at the skinny monkey crying bitterly, Ning Yan continued to ask for some detailed information about Captain Xu.

After asking all the questions and verifying them repeatedly, he simply broke the man's neck and threw him into the river nearby.

Seeing him do all this cleanly and neatly, Chen Jie and the two big men felt a chill in their hearts for no reason.

After a moment, Chen Jie looked at Ning Yan's calm face and said carefully:

"That Xu Qianjun is the leader of the Jusha Gang. Although he is at the same level as me, he is much stronger than me. I heard that he just successfully advanced to the Juqi level two days ago. I'm afraid he may not be easy to deal with. Should we take a long-term view?
Give me some time here, I can get some helpers, and then make some arrangements. If I launch a sneak attack in secret, I should be able to successfully kill him."

Ning Yan shook his head:

"Why is it so troublesome? It's just a matter of gathering energy."

Chen Jie and the other two couldn't help but hold their breathing slightly.

That's the gathering of Qi. Even if you have just entered this realm, fighting three people at the peak of Qi will be like a piece of cake.

Not to mention that they can't even gather three people at the peak of vitality.

Chen Jie was about to persuade him again, but Ning Yan seemed to have thought it through and walked straight forward:
"Forget it, let's kill them first. If we keep killing them, we will eventually find the source."

Watching his leaving back, Chen Jie hesitated for a moment, but finally he made up his mind and asked his two subordinates to find some trusted confidants to go together to support Ning Yan, and he hurriedly chased after him.

Xu Qianjun's residence is not far from here.

After crossing four streets, Chen Jie soon followed Ning Yan to a large courtyard.

Maybe it was because the gang was very famous, and he had just broken through to the Qi Gathering stage, Xu Qianjun had never worried about his own safety. The yard was empty, and there was not a single guard to be seen.

This made it easier for the two of them to move.

When you get closer, you can faintly hear bursts of soft music coming from the house.

Ning Yan frowned slightly.

Chen Jie understood immediately and handed over a black face towel.

Ning Yan covered his face and broke into the room at the same time as Chen Jie.

There was a crisp "clang" sound.

Ning Yan flashed to the front of the bed and pressed down the pile driver's head.

Before he could exert any strength, Ning Yan suddenly realized something was wrong.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from inside the house.

The woman with disheveled hair and rosy face pulled the thin blanket over her body.

The pile driver, which had been working hard just now, seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment.

He turned his back to Ning Yan and shouted with trembling teeth:
"Brother, I was wrong..."

Sure enough, this energetic yellow-haired man was not Xu Qianjun.

Ning Yan frowned slightly and asked:
"Where is the soldier Xu Qian?"

The energetic yellow-haired man was obviously stunned for a moment.

The woman lying on the bed suddenly had a sharp light in her eyes and quickly replied:

"Xu Qianjun was called away by Boss Fan, who said he had something important to discuss and would not be back tonight. Their gathering place was usually at a residence that Boss Fan did not often visit.

The specific address is the third courtyard on the right of Yunqing Lane, No. 3, Nanmingfang.

The couplet on the courtyard door reads [The window contains green mountains with birds beaking in their mouths, the door hangs over green willow branches with swallows chirping].

Ning Yan looked at her deeply and asked:

"How many people in total?"

"Seven, three are in Qi Gathering and four are in Yuan Qi. The leader, Fan Yuanhua, is not far from the peak of Qi Gathering."

"Where's the weakness?"

"Fan Yuanhua practiced evil skills in his early years, which injured his left arm and internal organs. Now he rarely uses his left arm and cannot fight for long.

Xu Qianjun practiced a very hard skill. His whole body was as hard as iron and was impervious to swords and spears. His weak spot was at the fourth vertebrae in his back.

I only saw the third one recently, so I am not very familiar with it."

Ning Yan then asked some more questions, and the woman answered them all fluently.

On the contrary, the yellow-haired man was shaking like a sieve, and was pinned down by him, unable to utter a word.

When the interrogation was over, Ning Yan knocked the two men unconscious and left the room directly.

Chen Jie walked out of the room, pulled down his face towel and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

His lips trembled for a long time before he asked:
"Three, three Qi gatherings, should we take a long-term view?"

"It's decided. We'll uproot them tonight."

"How do I pull this out?"

"Pull it out with your hands."

"How about we gather the people and take action tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Seeing that Chen Jie was about to persuade him again, Ning Yan said:

"Old Chen, I have already remembered your kindness in my heart. What follows is my personal matter, and it is not convenient to involve outsiders. You should go back to bed as soon as possible. You are old, so it is best not to stay up late."

Without waiting for him to refuse, Ning Yan rushed out like a gust of wind.

Watching Ning Yan's figure disappear at the intersection, Chen Jie's face changed for a while, and finally he stomped his feet and chased after him.

……

Yunqing Lane, small courtyard.

Two red lanterns are hung in the yard.

The dark red light fell like a rain curtain, illuminating the large stone table and the seven people sitting around it.

There was a sense of restlessness in the air.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

A Yuanqi warrior looked up at the night sky repeatedly and couldn't help but ask.

Fan Yuanhua held the teacup in his hand, half-closed his eyes and said:

"Don't be impatient. It's still early before the agreed time. Wait a little longer."

"But the next action is so important. Isn't it too hasty to give the target at the last minute?"

“It is precisely because this operation is so important that we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

The temporary target is given above to prevent the news from leaking.

After all, no one can be sure whether there is a traitor among us."

Fan Yuanhua glanced around at everyone and said calmly:
“The village has stationed a lot of people in the city, and we are just one of them.

This is the most important operation in history, unprecedented in scale.

All the hidden pieces will be activated to perform corresponding tasks.

If something went wrong, if something was done that shouldn't have been done.

Even I can't save him.

Turin, wake up and don't forget who you are."

After hearing Fan Yuanhua's warning, several people on the field responded solemnly.

At this time, Xu Qianjun, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly said happily:
"coming!"

In the distant night sky, I saw a dark blue swift pigeon fluttering towards me, its speed almost comparable to that of an arrow.

The Swift Pigeon has the bloodline of a demon beast and can travel a thousand miles a day without stopping. After being artificially domesticated, it is often used to deliver messages.

Looking at the swift pigeon swooping down from the night sky, Fan Yuanhua couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.

Several other people around stood up one after another.

However, just as they were preparing to welcome the arrival of the Swift Shadow Pigeon, a sharp scream suddenly came from the air.

The Swift Pigeon fell down immediately.

Falling down quickly.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the courtyard looked at each other in confusion, almost unable to react.

Then Fan Yuanhua's extremely suppressed roar was heard:

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you chase him?!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the yard.

Xu Qianjun and others woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly followed.

Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the alley.

On the empty street, I saw a young man holding a Swift Pigeon, his face full of joy:

"Where did you get such a big pigeon? It's too good to make soup with!"

"Put the pigeon down! It's ours!"

Fan Yuanhua yelled in frustration.

Ning Yan couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"You say it's yours, so it's yours? This pigeon is flying freely in the sky, how can it look like yours?"

"The dove has our red mark under its wings!"

Ning Yan opened the pigeon's wings and took a look, and immediately became furious:
"How dare you put your mark on my dove's wings?!"

Fan Yuanhua was confused.

Xu Qianjun and others were also confused.

Ning Yan looked at them steadily, and suddenly realized:
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Are you from the Jusha Gang?"

"Although I had long suspected that your evil deeds would be countless, I never thought that you would even want to snatch a pigeon!"

"Such an act is a heinous crime. Add to that the evil deeds committed against me, it is simply unforgivable!"

"Tonight I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and completely eliminate the Jusha Gang from Qingcang!"

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yan had already rushed forward.
