Chapter 31 Trouble
After passing the resting Qinghe Guards, Chen Ran sped directly towards the city gate.
With his vital energy surging within him, Chen Ran's speed more than doubled when he unleashed the full power of the Divine Form Step.
Not long after, Chen Ran arrived at the big tree where he had buried the silver.
The trees are lush and green, and even in the cold winter, the leaves remain green.
This is a ghost tree.
This tree is the opposite of the world.
The more prosperous the times, the more withered and decayed the ghost tree becomes.
Only in times of chaos, when the tree is nourished by blood and corpses, will the ghost tree grow ever more lush and verdant.
After carefully inspecting the marked area and confirming that no one had touched it, Chen Ran took out the tools he had prepared beforehand and began digging.
A short while later, Chen Ran dug out a dusty iron box.
Chen Ran took out a bag of silver, about two hundred taels, and put the box back down, restoring the scene to its previous state.
After doing all this, just as he was about to go back...
"Da da da~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A cacophony of footsteps echoed around them.
Hearing this voice, Chen Ran frowned. How could someone actually come to this godforsaken place?
He didn't have time to think, and activated the Divine Form Step.
In a short while, it appeared on the tree.
By shielding himself from view, Chen Ran peered into the distance through the gaps in the leaves.
A beautiful figure was seen clutching her shoulder, rushing towards them.
Behind her, two masked men in black were closing in on her.
The Ghost Eye is activated.
Everything in the distance was clearly visible.
Ning Wanqiu's stunningly beautiful face was reflected in Chen Ran's ghostly eyes.
"What a coincidence. But didn't Ning Wanqiu return to the inner city? Why is she here?"
Chen Ran frowned.
After seeing who it was, Chen Ran decided not to meddle.
Regardless of their past, they are all unstable factors for Chen Ran.
It's better to just hide here and wait for them to pass by.
"It's a pity. I was planning to take advantage of the night to go to the black market to buy some more monster meat."
Never mind, tomorrow will be the same.
Just as Chen Ran closed his eyes to rest.
As the three chased and fled, they arrived at the large tree where Chen Ran was.
Once you pass through this big tree, there will be a dark and dense forest behind it.
At that time, Ning Wanqiu's chances of escaping will greatly increase.
She dared not be careless. Although the aphrodisiac in her body was about to take effect, she still bit her lip tightly, and even as blood flowed out, she dared not relax in the slightest.
Hope is at hand.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Three arrows came flying, and Ning Wanqiu quickly rolled to the side.
In that short delay, the two men in black completely blocked her escape route.
The three were locked in a stalemate under the big tree.
"Hehehe, I never thought that the two of us would be able to enjoy such a top-quality beauty today."
"Third brother, it seems we're really lucky with the ladies."
"Who says otherwise? Look at that figure, look at that face, plus that personality, she'll be absolutely top-notch when we start having fun."
The two men in black were spewing vulgarities.
But there was not a trace of lewdness in his eyes.
Clearly, they did this to disrupt Ning Wanqiu's mindset.
From the tree, Chen Ran watched this scene, studying it frame by frame.
This is the art of combat.
Ning Wanqiu's face was cold, but the blush that gradually appeared on her face proved that she was about to reach her limit.
"Third Brother, do you think Ning Baichuan would accept this bastard child if such a beautiful woman got pregnant?"
"Hahaha, Qingfeng Martial Arts School is known as the number one martial arts school in Qinghe. The school master, Ning Baichuan, is a three-blood martial artist. His Qingfeng Unmoving Palm technique is among the best in the inner city."
Such a prominent figure, and his daughter actually gave birth to an illegitimate child—the scene was truly hilarious!
The two continued to provoke each other verbally, put away their crossbows, and slowly retreated a few steps.
After realizing that Ning Wanqiu was not in good condition, the two became increasingly unrestrained in their conversation and battle.
"You, you beasts, even if I die, I won't let you get away with it."
Knowing that escape was hopeless, a resolute glint flashed in Ning Wanqiu's eyes.
It suddenly crashed into a large tree behind it.
Upon seeing Ning Wanqiu make this move, a dark glint flashed in their eyes.
"Who dares to hurt my senior sister?"
A powerful voice came from behind.
Hearing the sound, Chen Ran, who was crouching on the tree, looked up and saw Ke Sheng, dressed in light blue clothes, rushing towards them.
Upon seeing this figure, Chen Ran frowned. How could today's events be so coincidental?
Upon hearing Ke Sheng's voice, Ning Wanqiu, who had originally intended to smash her head against a wall, turned around, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.
"Heh heh, I'd like to see who's courting death!!"
The two men in black exchanged a glance, a smug smile flashing in their eyes, before turning to look at Ke Ran.
The changes in this situation are truly unfathomable.
With his Ghost Eye activated, Chen Ran could see every change in the expressions on everyone's faces.
Ke Sheng's face was solemn, the man in black's eyes were smiling, and Ning Wanqiu's face was filled with hope and expectation.
Judging from the seriousness on Ke Sheng's face, today's situation was likely aimed at him.
It seems that many people within the inner city also do not want this genius to rise to prominence.
"So it's Ke Sheng! We've finally waited for you! Die!!!"
One of the men in black suddenly ripped off his clothes, and a faint black light continuously emerged from his body.
Then, he suddenly rushed towards Ke Sheng.
The other man drew his long sword and followed closely behind.
Ke Sheng's eyes were solemn. He clasped his hands together, and a rich aura of blood and qi continuously emanated from his body.
"Bang!!!"
In just a moment, their fists and palms collided.
The man in black was instantly sent flying backward.
"Aaaaaah!!! Despicable!!!"
On the spot, Ke Sheng let out a scream as a black smear spread across his palm.
"puff!!!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The once-powerful energy of blood and qi dissipated rapidly, like a deflated balloon.
"The taste of the Blood-Dissolving Powder is not bad, is it?"
The man in black swung his sword down with terrifying force, severing both of Ke Sheng's legs.
Gouge out the eyes, slice through the throat.
In just a moment, Ke Sheng became a useless person.
"Waaaaah~"
The intense pain caused Ke Sheng to roll around on the ground.
"A second-tier warrior!!!"
Chen Ran was startled and realized something was wrong.
A second-blood martial artist's perception is several times that of a first-blood martial artist.
This person has been hiding their true strength all along?!
Did he notice me?!
In uncertain situations, Chen Ran always imagines the worst-case scenario.
After the initial panic subsided, Chen Ran quickly covered her face with a black veil.
At the same time, he had prepared several kinds of poisons, including lime and fragrant bone.
He has the will to fight back should anything change.
"Heh, the sect has issued a kill order against you. If you're not crippled, how can you incite conflict between the martial arts schools and the forces in the inner city?!"
"Hey friend in the tree, you've been watching for so long, it's time to come down."
