Qin Shuo didn't answer directly but asked back:

"Since you are from the Demon Suppression Division, why not directly seek the City Lord's assistance, but instead go far away to seek to join forces with me?"

"Don't mention it, I get angry just thinking about it."

Perhaps he really felt Qin Shuo was reliable, He Mingjing revealed his true feelings and sighed:

"If it weren't for City Lord Xue not believing my one-sided words, insisting that the Sky Wolf Gang had done favors for Black Water City and could not be slandered, and wanting me to produce evidence.

Running into that Sky Wolf Gang protector demonizing into a wolf that day was just a coincidence; where was I supposed to find evidence for him?

Helpless, I could only follow Han Chong here, wanting to capture the protector who had turned into a Wolf Demon back then to prove it to City Lord Xue.

And here we are, just followed him here, and heard their wolf howls after demonization.

I thought I could catch them in the act, so I rushed over, but I didn't expect that all five of them had been killed by you."

Speaking of this, He Mingjing's gaze toward Qin Shuo was somewhat resentful.

Originally, as long as he captured any one of the five, he would have a way to prove to Xue Chengkong that the Sky Wolf Gang was colluding with Wolf Demons.

Now it was fine, all the evidence had been killed by Qin Shuo.

"You came to capture the Sky Wolf Gang protector?" Qin Shuo was suspicious.

Not to mention anything else, with Han Chong's strength after wolf-transformation, he probably wasn't inferior to the He Mingjing in front of him.

Where did the other party get the confidence to take on five alone and still want to kidnap one?

"What? Looking down on my strength?"

He Mingjing gave a cold laugh, as if he had seen through Qin Shuo's thoughts.

Clang!

The next second, the long saber left its sheath, a cold light like an ice river spanning across, grazing Qin Shuo's cheek and slashing onto a ten-thousand-catty boulder behind him.

Qin Shuo turned his head suddenly, only to see that the ten-thousand-catty boulder had been slashed in two like cutting tofu, the cut smooth, as smooth as a mirror.

"This is... saber Qi?" Qin Shuo was astonished.

This kind of attack method where internal Qi leaves the body was the first time he had seen it.

Back at Erlong Mountain, the Xiaoyue Yaowang's clone slashed out a silver moon giant blade, relying on bloodline power; Qin Shuo couldn't learn it even if he wanted to.

His Great Sun Golden Wheel, although it could briefly leave his body, the range wouldn't exceed one meter, otherwise, he would lose control and it would become a mess.

And He Mingjing's slash just now, the internal Qi left the body for more than ten meters, and it was condensed and did not dissipate, and could even slash a ten-thousand-catty boulder in two.

If he could learn this method, he would have another trump card for future battles against Pulse Opening experts.

After all, battles between Pulse Opening martial artists mainly relied on close-quarters combat.

Although they could achieve simple internal Qi release, wanting to hurt people from more than ten meters away was just wishful thinking.

But right now, He Mingjing had done it.

And the power was not bad, not losing to his Three Origins Merging into One, Strength Transforming into Light.

"How about it? Want to learn?"

He Mingjing was very satisfied with Qin Shuo's reaction, revealing an expression of a successful scheme,

"As long as you join our Demon Suppression Division, I can pass this superior Blade Cultivation Technique to you in advance on behalf of the Division Master."

"No need, let's talk about City Lord Xue's situation first!" Qin Shuo rolled his eyes.

Although he was indeed a bit envious of this Blade Cultivation Technique, selling himself to the Demon Suppression Division for it would be too cheap.

It wasn't like he didn't have superior martial arts; he even had a Martial Saint divine ability.

Wanting to bribe him with a Blade Cultivation Technique, keep dreaming.

Seeing Qin Shuo refuse so decisively, He Mingjing's eyes were strange: "This Blade Cultivation Technique is a superior martial art, are you really not tempted?"

"Not tempted."

Qin Shuo shook his head decisively and said calmly: "It's just a superior martial art; it can't buy Qin's life."

"This is not an ordinary superior saber technique..."

He Mingjing's voice was a bit urgent, as if he wanted to prove something.

Qin Shuo's eyes were strange, looking at the white-clad youth who looked like a wandering knight in front of him with suspicion, and said angrily:

"Don't tell me you joined the Demon Suppression Division just for such a cultivation technique? Then you are too cheap..."

"Cough, cough... how could that be? What kind of person is He Mingjing? Would I sell my life for a superior cultivation technique?"

Saying this, he tactically touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

"No way, you really joined the Demon Suppression Division for this martial art?" Qin Shuo was astonished.

Originally, he thought that the other party, who kept talking about the 100,000 people of Black Water City and the crisis of Black Water City, looking like he took the world's common people as his own responsibility, must have joined the Demon Suppression Division for justice and ideals.

As a result... just this?

At this moment, the filter in Qin Shuo's eyes for He Mingjing shattered all over the ground.

It was a pity that he had previously felt that the other party, knowing the Xiaoyue Yaowang was in Black Water City and not running away, and running around to find out the truth and working for Black Water City, was indeed a man worthy of respect.

Now it seems, that's just how it is!

"Uh... let's go back to City Lord Xue!" He Mingjing hurriedly changed the subject.

Joining the Demon Suppression Division for the Blade Cultivation Technique was his dark history, and he had been mocked by other colleagues for it more than once.

He didn't expect that it would be discovered by this youth in just a few words today, which really caught him off guard.

However, he was no longer the rookie he was when he first joined the Demon Suppression Division; his skin had been polished by his colleagues to be thicker than a city wall, so this bit of embarrassment didn't count for anything to him, and he immediately continued:

"City Lord Xue said, as long as I can prove that the Sky Wolf Gang is colluding with demons, he will immediately mobilize the army to encircle and suppress the Sky Wolf Gang.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to capture a Sky Wolf Gang disciple who can also transform into a Wolf Demon to obtain City Lord Xue's support.

As long as City Lord Xue is willing to take action, even if the Xiaoyue Yaowang is really hiding in Black Water City, it is nothing to fear.

After all, he was once a peak Condensing Truth Realm expert, although later due to some changes, his realm fell, and he only had the cultivation of the peak Pulse Opening Realm.

But as long as he is here, that Wolf Demon won't be able to make any big waves.

Because I suspect that after the Xiaoyue Yaowang was severely injured by the Dragon Elephant Monk, its remaining strength should not be strong.

Otherwise, with its arrogant style of slaughtering cities at every turn, it would be impossible to be so low-key in Black Water City.

And City Lord Xue also has a Wind Thunder Falcon; once it discovers traces of demons, he can quickly send a message to his sect, Wind Thunder Valley.

By then, even if that Xiaoyue Yaowang still retains the strength of the Condensing Truth Realm, it will have nowhere to run."

"Is City Lord Xue reliable? Is it possible he has already taken the Sky Wolf Gang's pills?" Qin Shuo voiced his concern.

What he was most worried about now was that this only top combat power in Black Water City had also fallen and become a puppet of the Xiaoyue Yaowang.

Once the other party awakened the demon soul sleeping in the pills, even if Xue Chengkong was at the peak of the Pulse Opening Realm, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to resist a Demon King's soul invasion.

After all, the cultivation of the Pulse Opening Realm had not yet touched the soul and was a blind spot for defense.

"Rest assured, City Lord Xue is a True Disciple of the number one Alchemy Sect in Yunzhou, Wind Thunder Valley, and he himself is a Master Alchemist. How could he look down on the Sky Wolf Gang's pills?"

"And I have already inquired, City Lord Xue just came out of seclusion two days ago, and before that, all the big and small affairs of the City Lord's Mansion were handled by Master Du; he couldn't have had time to come into contact with the Sky Wolf Gang's pills."

He Mingjing spoke with certainty, and Qin Shuo believed him seven or eight parts.

"Then what do you plan to do next?" Qin Shuo asked.

"Continue to capture people, capture one who can autonomously control transformation like the Four Great Protectors, and let him transform into a werewolf in front of City Lord Xue," He Mingjing said seriously.

"However, now that Great Elder Han Chong and the Four Great Protectors have all been killed by you, I'm afraid the only ones left who can autonomously transform are the two elders; we have to find a way to lure them out."

"You already have a plan?"

"That's right, but I need your cooperation."

"How to cooperate?"

"You infiltrate the Sky Wolf Gang to create chaos, and I will take the opportunity to severely injure the two elders and take them away."

Qin Shuo: "..."

"That's the Xiaoyue Yaowang's lair; isn't this throwing ourselves into the net?"

"Rest assured, based on my observation, that Xiaoyue Yaowang should have a very big plan for Black Water City. Before everything is ready, it won't take action rashly, otherwise everything it has done before will be wasted," He Mingjing was very confident.

"Mid-Autumn full moon, Ten Thousand Spirit Array..."

After some conversation, Qin Shuo felt that He Mingjing was relatively reliable, so he shared the information he had obtained from Han Chong.

"Mid-Autumn full moon? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

He Mingjing was shocked, "It seems we must take action tonight, otherwise it will be too late."

"I can cooperate with your action, but I have one condition..."

After some thought, Qin Shuo agreed to join forces with He Mingjing.

To confront the Xiaoyue Yaowang, which likely still had the strength of the Condensing Truth Realm, and the residents of the city who could turn into wolves at any time, he had to find helpers.

"What condition?"

He Mingjing looked up at Qin Shuo.

He wasn't afraid of Qin Shuo setting conditions; he was afraid of Qin Shuo not wanting anything and just running away.

With the foundation of the Demon Suppression Division, no matter what conditions Qin Shuo set, he was confident he could satisfy them afterward.

But right now, he really had no one else to use.

"Take me to the City Lord's Mansion, I want to see Master Jueming..."

Qin Shuo didn't dawdle and directly stated his requirement.
