Chapter 316

Zheng Yi's complexion changed, her fingers tightened, and she couldn't help but lift her sword and protect it in front of her.

"Anqisheng!?"

This was an answer she had never expected... at least it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be in this Nanjing city.

Traveling with Li Miao for this period, Li Miao was wary of her at the beginning, and the clues and inferences he obtained were not all shared with her. But since the Xue Bangzhu incident, Li Miao began to gradually get close to her.

And since the Kongming Sect incident, she told Li Miao everything about her mother's affairs. After Li Miao heard it, he also shared all clues and inferences with her—including the hints left by Ji Tianrui.

She thought that perhaps the enemy standing at the end of this road would be that "Anqisheng," but that should be after killing to Yingzhou with Li Miao, at least after investigating the background of Yingzhou clearly.

She really didn't expect at all that the background of Yingzhou, the secret of her mother, the role of the mysterious mirror, and the truth of the destruction of Penglai, all of which were still hidden under the water—

Anqisheng had already appeared before her.

Zheng Yi already had the intention to retreat.

Just at this moment, she heard the man opposite laugh lightly.

"No, not Anqisheng."

"Just Zheng Anqi."

Zheng Yi's footsteps, which were secretly moving backward, paused.

"What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

The man who called himself Zheng Anqi spread his hands and said with a teasing smile.

"Tsk."

Zheng Yi gritted her teeth.

This person... how does he look so much like Li Miao?

Both are the same speaking with a smile, the same looking down on people. If it were on one's own side, this attitude would naturally be refreshing. If it were on the opposite side, it would be annoying.

But the reason she stopped was naturally not the other party's attitude.

"Not Anqisheng, but Zheng Anqi... what does it mean? Zheng Anqi is the original name of Anqisheng, what is the difference between the two? And... his appearance in Nanjing is also a bit odd."

With a thought, Zheng Yi pointed her sword at the other party slowly.

Killing intent and true Qi condensed on the sword tip.

Zheng Anqi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Zheng Yi with a smile, his whole body full of flaws, as if he were really facing a guest.

The air condensed at this moment.

And then exploded!

Across a distance of several zhang, Zheng Yi stabbed with her sword!

The battle with Wang Ziyi did not damage her meridians; the Sumeru realm had long ago replenished the consumed true Qi, and now Zheng Yi's true Qi was ten out of ten—and she bet all ten out of ten true Qi on the gambling table!

The sharp whistle tearing the air exploded, as if the process had been eliminated, and Zheng Yi's sword tip appeared in front of Zheng Anqi in the next instant!

————————

"This way!"

Wang Hai rushed out of the crowd and shouted without looking back, then jumped off the roof. Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan followed closely and leaped into the courtyard of a civilian house.

The guards chasing them followed and leaped down; just in mid-air, they saw hundreds of cold lights shooting out from the ground in front of them!

Blood splashed, and the dark blue cow-hair fine needles pierced through their bodies, pinning them to the wall with a swish.

Several guards stumbled after landing, their complexions pale as they reached out to touch the places on their bodies that had been pierced, but they felt no pain or itch, as if nothing had happened.

But the next instant, a strange change occurred!

Eyes bloodshot, bodies hunched, hands and feet twitching... the scene that happened on Mount Taishan, where disciples were transformed into insect soldiers, reappeared at this moment! These few guards turned around and pounced on their comrades behind them, tearing with their mouths!

Taking advantage of this chaos, Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan followed Wang Hai and rushed into the house.

Wang Hai flashed to the wall, reached out and hammered on the wall; only a series of mechanical sounds were heard, and a hole appeared on the ground, the three leaped in, and the hole closed behind them.

Along the secret passage under the hole, the three detoured for dozens of zhang and drilled out from one of the exits.

Wang Hai took the two and flipped into the neighbor's house, took out two sets of clothes from the woodshed for Gao and Gu to change into, and opened a hole again to drill in.

Repeating this several times, the three tossed for half an hour, and even Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan were dizzy and didn't know east, west, north, or south, before Wang Hai took the two to the side of the Qinhuai River.

Looking at the two, Wang Hai leaped down.

Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan looked at each other and had no choice but to follow, leaping into the water.

Swimming for about twenty or thirty zhang under the water, Wang Hai touched the riverbank, reached out to grope on the stone, applied force and twisted, and pried a stone off, revealing the hole behind it.

The three drilled into it, swimming for several zhang along the passage only one arm wide, and saw firelight faintly appearing above the water ahead. Wang Hai swam to the surface first, poked his head out, and let out a long breath.

Xiaosi ran over and reached out to pull Wang Hai up.

"Brother Hai, was it smooth?"

Wang Hai leaned on the force to flip onto the shore, true Qi steaming, steam suddenly rising from his body, and in just a moment, his clothes were steamed dry, only then did he smile and say to Xiaosi.

"It was okay, these guards are not difficult to deal with, and that peerless one was entangled by poisonous insects, so he shouldn't be able to catch up for a while; we are still safe tonight."

"It's thanks to this Nanjing city, the capital of the founding, the birthplace of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; if it were any other place, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to find so many secret rooms and passages."

While the two were talking, Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan also flipped up, staring wide-eyed, looking around curiously.

This place was actually an extremely spacious secret room, several zhang square, with beds, tables, and chairs in the secret room, and even a stove. There were several secret doors on the stone wall, and there were clearly other rooms and passages.

No wonder the Embroidered Uniform Guard office had fallen, and under the full-city search of the four Garrison Eunuchs, Wang Hai and Xiaosi could still hide in Nanjing city for such a long time.

Wang Hai and Xiaosi whispered for a while, then turned around and bowed to Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan.

"Brother Gao, Brother Gu."

Only then did Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan react, first bowing to thank them, and then asking.

"Are you two Battalion Commander Wang and Battalion Commander Li?"

"Exactly."

Wang Hai nodded.

With You Ziyang passing the letter in the middle, Gao Anyu, Wang Hai, and Xiaosi all knew each other's identities; although Gu Feixuan was added later, he was also told by Gao Anyu, and at this time there was no need to introduce again.

After the four of them got to know each other, Wang Hai's complexion turned solemn.

"This is not the time for pleasantries, I have a question—is Senior Zheng Yi already gone to the Embroidered Uniform Guard office?"

Gao Anyu nodded.

Wang Hai sighed long.

"In that case... I'm afraid it's ominous."

Gao Anyu's complexion changed, and he asked urgently.

"Brother Wang, why do you say that? With Senior Zheng's Wu Gong, it's hard to find an opponent in the Jianghu... what kind of agenda does this Immortal Master Zheng have, that you are so sure Senior Zheng will fall into his hands?"

Wang Hai sighed long.

"Heaven-Men of the two-road realm are indeed shocking in the Jianghu, but except for the Commander, I'm afraid that at this time, these Heaven-Men of the one-road or two-road realm in the Jianghu cannot hurt that Immortal Master Zheng in the slightest."
