Huangxiu

Chapter 256 Black Pearl
"Right here?" Huang Shirong was surprised.

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Tianqi is here."

Huang Shirong turned her head and looked around.

The Tianlong divine horse was so fast that she couldn't even tell the direction and came here dizzy.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It is a thousand miles due west of Yujing. It fooled everyone. It's amazing."

It’s not difficult to lead everyone away.

When I first saw Zhang Youling perform it, it was truly indistinguishable from the real thing.

But Zhou Tianqi not only made the fake look real, he also hid the real thing, so no one looked in this direction.

That's what's really great.

Huang Shirong whispered: "How is this done?"

"It could be a magic trick or a magical object." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's catch him first?"

In fact, he was already certain that it was caused by a strange object, and he had seen this strange object.

Huang Shirong showed a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan put his arms around Huang Shirong's slender waist and dismounted from the horse.

The dragon and the divine horse turned into golden light and flew into the woods nearby to play to their heart's content.

Chu Zhiyuan and Huang Shirong turned into two wisps of smoke and disappeared into the quiet mountain village.

Smoke was rising from every household, and the air was filled with the smell of burning firewood, mixed with the coolness of the evening.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped outside a small courtyard and looked at Huang Shirong.

Huang Shirong nodded slowly.

She stepped forward and gently opened the door.

The gate opened with a slight push, without being broken by the strong energy.

She pushed the door open and entered the yard, and saw a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the yard. He had just finished practicing martial arts and had a calm expression.

"Senior Brother Zhou," Huang Shirong recognized the middle-aged man immediately and looked at him with a complicated expression: "Finally found you."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No wonder you found me. It was you, Junior Sister Huang."

Huang Shirong stared at him and asked curiously, "Brother Zhou, I've always been curious, why?"

Zhou Tianqi shook his head and said, "No reason."

"Is it because of Master Kong? Master Kong feels sorry for you, Brother Zhou?"

"Yes and no."

"Brother Zhou, can't you help me solve this puzzle?"

"You won't understand." Zhou Tianqi sighed and sat down on the chair next to him: "You are a child of destiny and the most talented person in our sect. You won't understand my despair and helplessness."

"Brother, are you so eager to become a Grandmaster?"

"If you can't become a Grandmaster, what's the point of living?" Zhou Tianqi sneered, "You only have a short life and will die soon. It would be better not to practice martial arts in the first place. It would be better to enjoy yourself, earn money, play with women, start a family, and do business, which is worse than practicing hard in the sect."

"Brother Zhou, don't you think that the time in the mountains is great? It is a kind of enjoyment in itself, much better than making money by doing business outside."

Huang Shirong couldn't understand his thoughts.

In the mountains, everything is simple and beautiful, and the relationships among senior and junior brothers and sisters are all friendly.

It's much better to be in the mountains than in Zhenwusi.

The people's hearts and interests are too complicated at the foot of the mountain, which is far inferior to those on the mountain.

"Junior Sister Huang, you feel good because you are a child of destiny. Everyone praises you, so you naturally feel that everyone around you is good, life is good, and the time in the mountains is even better."

"So Senior Brother Zhou feels that the mountain is not as good as the foot of the mountain."

"In fact, it's the same everywhere, it's nothing more than the survival of the fittest." Zhou Tianqi sighed: "In this world, being weak is a sin, so if you don't want to be bullied, you have to keep getting stronger, keep getting stronger, and eventually become a grandmaster, so that your life will not be in vain and you will not let this life down!"

"So in order to become stronger, Master can kill?" Huang Shirong asked, "Why did you want to kill Master Kong?"

"Because this old guy wants to kill me!" Zhou Tianqi said calmly: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he wants to kill me!... Since he is unkind, why should I talk about righteousness!"

His expression was indifferent and calm, but veins were bulging on his hands as he gripped the armrests of the chair.

"Because Master Kong discovered that you practiced evil skills, right?"

"good."

"The evil power of the Yuding Sect?"

"Junior Sister Huang, you know a lot."

"Did the demon from the Yuding Sect come looking for you?"

"I killed a demon from the Yuding Sect and obtained their cultivation method, so I tried it out and it was indeed amazing."

"Did you kill someone?"

"Almost there. We tried it with wild beasts, but before we started killing anyone, the old guy found us." Zhou Tianqi said.

Huang Shirong breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Tianqi smiled: "It seems that Junior Sister Huang is really kind-hearted."

Huang Shirong said, "Since no one was killed, there is still hope. Senior Brother Zhou, come back with me." "What will happen after we return?" Zhou Tianqi sneered, "Your martial arts skills will be abolished and you will become a menial servant from now on."

"You still have a chance to practice again." Huang Shirong said, "If you continue down this path now, you know the consequences, Brother Zhou."

"Death?" Zhou Tianqi laughed, his expression indifferent: "If I can't practice, I would rather die."

Huang Shirong frowned and looked at him: "Brother Zhou, are you also not afraid of death because you practiced evil skills?"

"It's worse to die than to lose your martial arts." Zhou Tianqi looked regretful: "If that's the case, it's better to leave quickly... Junior Sister Huang, you shouldn't have come!"

"...Brother Zhou, there is one thing I don't understand. How did you escape the pursuit of the Law Enforcement Hall? You suddenly became several people. Your tricks were very powerful and you fooled them."

"Junior Sister Huang, you are also going to leave, why are you so curious?"

"Brother Zhou, do you really want to kill me?"

She felt the murderous intent in the air.

Since Zhou Tianqi was able to kill his master, how could he not kill himself?

"On the road to the underworld, we have each other's company, so we are not lonely."

"Then how did Senior Brother Zhou manage to hide his knowledge from the Grand Master?"

"It's a rare item, but it's a pity that you can't use it, Junior Sister Huang."

After he said this, he suddenly stood up and was about to rush towards Huang Shirong.

Huang Shirong suddenly rushed forward, with a flash of cold light at his waist.

"Uh……"

Zhou Tianqi couldn't believe it and his eyes widened.

He never expected that Huang Shirong's sword was so fast, and it struck before he could use the jade-burn-all-distress strategy.

He was just one step away from destroying himself and her together, leaving this troubled world with her and walking together on the road to the underworld.

This thought emerged in his mind, but was quickly swallowed up by the darkness. His eyes went dark and he died silently.

"Good swordsmanship." Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands and appeared in the courtyard, praising: "What a fast sword!"

Huang Shirong's sword was extremely powerful in terms of both the timing and speed of its execution.

The tip of the sword pierced Zhou Tianqi's eyebrows directly, instantly cutting off his thoughts and stopping the destruction of both sides.

Huang Shirong frowned, gently wiped the tip of the sword, and put it back into the scabbard.

This was all thanks to Chu Zhiyuan's reminder outside Taizhou City, which allowed her to grasp the signs of a common destruction.

She looked at Zhou Tianqi who was standing upright.

There was a small red dot between the eyebrows, and the eyes were still open, but their gaze was dim and lifeless.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You acted cleanly and efficiently, and you acted when it was time to act. You really have the qualities to be a palace master."

Seeing Huang Shirong's heavy expression, he smiled and said, "If you don't kill him, he will kill you. What's the point of being entangled? Let the people from the Zhenwu Division come over?"

"Yes." Huang Shirong said slowly: "I can only trouble them."

Chu Zhiyuan drew out the Qingying sword and raised it lightly.

He picked out a black bead from Zhou Tianqi's arms and stuck it on the tip of the sword.

The stone beads, the size of a little finger, looked as if they were coated with ink, without any luster.

It exudes a strange aura, which is dim and obscure, and makes one feel dazed as soon as they touch it.

In addition to the bead, there is also a small black tripod in the house, which is the size of a thumb and exquisite.

It is carved with fine patterns.

Under the light from the cave, these patterns are indeed the ones commonly used by the Yuding Sect. They look ordinary at first glance, but seem to come alive upon closer inspection.

These patterns contain strange powers.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was solemn.

He gradually came to some speculations about the evil sects, and judged that the rapid improvement in their power was not only due to the rapid strengthening of their bodies by absorbing essence and blood, but also because of other forces mixed in.

This power is likely to be from outer space.

It is these extraterrestrial forces that truly change their nature.

This was his guess based on what he saw through the Fearless Great Perfection Mudra.

Huang Shirong looked at the small black bead: "What is this?"

"It should be the strange object that conceals the Qi," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Who does it belong to?"

"Of course it's yours, Prince." Huang Shirong said.

This kind of strange object is indeed strange. It has infinite uses for these evil sects, but it is of no use to the Baiyun Sword Palace.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then I will accept it with pleasure."

He was very eager to study the strange power of this black bead.

What's more, with it, it should be possible to block the Grand Master's perception.
