One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Ma Long and Wang Ye chased after Gong Qing, but after running around for a while, it got dark and they still hadn't caught a glimpse of him.

They looked up and saw an old fisherman who invited them to go to the lake late at night.

"Sir, Dongting Lake is most beautiful at night!"

"You can take my little boat in now and stay overnight; it's much cheaper than staying in a hotel."

Ma Long wasn't interested, but Wang Ye was very willing.

"Junior Uncle, it's so late and we can't find anyone. Why don't we just go in and get some rest for the night?"

That way we can save on one night's accommodation fee; we can find another one tomorrow morning!

Ma Long couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to agree, and the two boarded the ship.

The thin, old fisherman struggled to row his boat.

"Crench!"

Ma Long and Wang Ye lay side by side on the deck, each lost in their own thoughts.

Wang Ye wasn't in a hurry at all. With his boss guiding him, he could slack off whenever he could. Anyway... there were people more anxious than him!

Ma Long, meanwhile, was wondering where Gong Qing could be hiding.

Why did he come out to attract me? Was it simply to provoke me?

After a long time, the small boat emerged from the reeds and finally arrived at the center of Dongting Lake.

"Sir, we have reached the center of the lake. Please rest here tonight."

The old fisherman put down his oars and sat on the deck.

"Huh! That's it?"

You said the scenery was beautiful? This won't do!

Wang was greatly disappointed and began to complain, feeling that he had been fooled by the old fisherman.

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry. Let me light a lamp first, and then you can see what the scenery is like!"

The old fisherman sat up, took an oil lamp from the boat awning, lit it, and hung it at the bow of the boat. Then he turned to look at the two men.

Ma Long glanced in the light and saw the old fisherman's face clearly; it looked so familiar!

This... isn't this Gong Qing?

"Fuck!

Gong Qing!

His face was covered in a beard, and he was hunched over. Ma Long didn't see his face, so he didn't pay any attention to it, and he certainly couldn't have imagined that this was Gong Qing.

But now he stood at the bow of the ship, his back straight, and by the light of the lamp, he was easily recognizable.

Enraged, Ma Long twisted his waist and jumped off the deck, stomping his foot on the deck to activate the Feng Hou Qi Men formation.

"Luanjin Tuo!"

"Ghostly Travel Record Sealing Talisman!"

"Five Warriors Binding Immortal Talisman!"

Ma Long simultaneously unleashed both the Feng Hou Qi Men and Tong Tian Lu techniques, both ruthless moves, without a single wasted effort.

After Gong Qing was subdued, a talisman sealed his meridians, blocking the flow of his Qi.

Another talisman bound him tightly, rendering him unable to move, and then slammed him onto the deck with a 'bang'.

Ma Long didn't stop; his arms moved like lightning as he continued to draw the Five Thunder Talisman.

"Nine-fold Five Thunder Talisman!"

After drawing it, he did not use it immediately, but looked at Gong Qing lying on the ground.

He was puzzled: why wasn't Gong Qing resisting or running away?

Don't arrest the wrong person!

He held the Five Thunder Talisman and shouted.

"Don't you dare move! If you dare resist, I'll blast you apart with my Five Thunder Talisman!"

He then walked over to Gong Qing, who had fallen to the ground, and carefully examined the other man's face.

Hahaha! Marlon!

Just how cruel are you to me?

"I don't remember ever offending you."

Gong Qing laughed; the voice was definitely his.

Ma Long stepped forward and ripped off his beard.

Stop playing dumb with me!

"Have you forgotten what happened on Longhu Mountain? How did Old Tian die?"

Ma Long grabbed his collar, the Five Thunder Talisman almost touching his head.

"Ma Long, calm down. I know you sympathize with Old Tian!"

Now that I've come to you, I'll explain it to you slowly!

Don't you want to hear it?

Seeing the Five Thunder Talisman about to hit his forehead, Gong Qing became a little anxious; he wasn't afraid of death.

I just don't want to be wiped out by Ma Long so inexplicably.

"Stop with your tricks. I'm too weak to escape."

That day at Longhu Mountain, I was able to teleport because of a talisman I had set up beforehand.

And if I wanted to run away, could you find me?

What Gong Qing said seemed to make some sense; it seemed that he really did come to find him on purpose.

Ma Long gradually calmed down. He couldn't help it; what happened to Old Tian made him very angry.

"Hmph! I'll believe you for now, tell me!"

Ma Long flicked his wrist to put away the Five Thunder Talisman, but the other two talismans remained, trapping Gong Qing in this way.

"Hey! Malone, let me go!"

Being trapped is so unbearable, I'd rather die than run away.

Gong Qing pleaded again, hoping that Ma Long would be more lenient.

"Would you be willing to die?"

What do you mean? You've decided to go to the Xilin Gol Grassland?

Ma Long was startled. He knew that the Old Celestial Master had publicly challenged Quanxing to a duel, specifically requesting to see Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing.

This matter has caused quite a stir these past two days. The company has intervened, and all ten bosses have started heading there.

It is said that even the masters of Quanxing Sect are getting restless and have decided to accept Zhang Zhiwei's challenge.

"That's right, if I don't die, how can the Old Celestial Master stop!"

Gong Qing spoke out; he had indeed decided to face his death.

Ma Long then removed the binding talisman from his body.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"hehe!

What do you think a dying person is most likely to tell you?

Let me tell you slowly!

I have a dream!

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you giving a speech?"

Love hurt me, like a piece of wood falling from my forehead?

Let's get straight to the point and stop with the nonsense.

Seeing Gong Qing sit up and speak unhurriedly, Ma Long became somewhat impatient.

"Hey! What's the rush?"

My life is short, what good will it do you even if you listen to it all!

Gong Qing also complained, feeling that Ma Long was too hasty.

"My dream is to become the leader of Quanxing!"

It sounds crazy, right? I wish I were a crazy person.

such a pity!

I overestimated my abilities!

I failed, and only then did I realize that I simply couldn't do it!

“Explain it in more detail, don’t be vague,” Ma Long reminded him.

"The last person in Quanxing to gain everyone's approval and become the sect leader was named Wugensheng!"

He was one of the instigators of the Jia Shen Rebellion, and he also organized the sworn brotherhood of thirty-six people.

He once divided people into four categories. Only the fourth category, those with skills and principles, knew what they were meant to do in this world and had the ability to do it. They only sought to achieve perfect merit in their lives, and even if they failed or were shattered to pieces, it didn't matter.

Only someone who has achieved this level of ability is worthy of becoming the leader of Quanxing Sect.

I believe I am that kind of person, and I believe I can give everything for this, regardless of anything else.

But I can't do it!

Because I valued my relationship with Elder Tian, ​​I didn't let Lü Liang act decisively, which delayed your arrival and caused the plan to fail.

Since I've already failed, and now that the Celestial Master has challenged Quanxing to a duel, I should hide away.

It doesn't matter to me how many people die outside, but I still can't do it!

Alas! There will always be disciples of the Quanxing sect in this world, and it is not a pity if many die.

But I can't let it go.

I considered myself a madman, acting insanely, yet I still retained a sliver of humanity; my defeat was inevitable!

"Ma Long!"

Listen carefully, I know you are also investigating the truth about the Jia Shen year.

Remember not to start with anything or anyone related to the Old Celestial Master, and never try to contact or test his bottom line!

Because he knows the whole story, he won't reveal any information.

The last person to try this was me, and I'm about to die!
