Chapter 151: Seizing the Initiative! Gong Qing's Other Wager

Not long after, carrying the Secret Technique of Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching written by Wang Bing, Gong Qing left directly.

"Great-grandfather, what if this guy is lying?"

Wang Bing asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter, even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. If the Wang Family doesn't find anyone helping later, we'll spread the news that the Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching was stolen by him."

Lying on the hospital bed, Wang Ai said in a deep voice.

"I see, Great-grandfather wants to divert the disaster?"

"This is just the final fallback. It is also the last resort."

Wang Ai personally experienced the past events of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques back then; now that the Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching has reappeared in the world, it can also attract a lot of attention.

As for the chaos, let it be chaotic; what does it have to do with the Wang Family?

"What about Baiyun Guan?"

Wang Bing hesitated for a moment before speaking, not even daring to mention Lin Xuan's name.

"We'll talk about this matter later!"

Wang Ai also dared not bring it up.

Moreover, now is not the time to provoke Baiyun Guan again.

Gong Qing, having left Wang Ai's place, wore a smile on his face.

Afterwards, he turned left and right, arriving at the area where the five people were.

"Come out. You've been watching me for so long, yet I haven't seen you make a move!"

Gong Qing stood still and said with a relaxed expression.

"The Acting Sect Leader has quite the airs, but if this matter isn't handled well this time, the Acting Sect Leader's little life won't be saved!"

A voice filled with intense malice rang out.

Yuan Tao walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Heh, not getting results from Longhu Mountain doesn't mean I can't get them elsewhere. Besides, I ordered the retreat this time for your sake.

Since we were exposed, staying on the mountain would only mean repeating what happened four years ago. Or are you saying you want to experience it again?"

Gong Qing was very clear about the fear the experts of Quanxing held for Lin Xuan of Baiyun Guan.

It was a fear so deep they didn't even dare to get close.

Why put on an act now?

Hearing Gong Qing mention the three words "Baiyun Guan," Yuan Tao's face darkened.

Damn it, this brat!

"Don't mention that person, especially here!"

Yuan Tao subconsciously glanced in the direction of Longhu Mountain.

"Take me to see them; there are some things that still need to be said."

Gong Qing said directly.

Yuan Tao looked at Gong Qing seriously, then nodded.

"Follow me."

Saying this, Yuan Tao turned and left with his hands behind his back, and Gong Qing followed behind him with a smile.

It didn't take long to reach the place.

"It seems you have been watching me all along?"

Looking at the group of people sitting or standing around, Gong Qing said with a smile.

"To be able to smile when death is imminent, I have to say, you kid still has some guts."

Xia Liuqing grinned.

"No, no, no, Elder Xia, this kid thinks that I really won't die this time!"

"You certainly have a big mouth!"

Xia Liuqing snorted.

"Elder Xia should take a look at this before saying that!"

As Gong Qing spoke, he didn't hesitate; he went all out, took the item from his bosom, and threw it to Xia Liuqing.

Xia Liuqing was stunned, raised his hand to catch it, lowered his head to look at the item in his hand, and felt somewhat puzzled.

But after reading a few sections, his expression changed abruptly, and he looked up at Gong Qing.

"This is... Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching?"

As soon as Xia Liuqing said this, the people who had been watching Gong Qing without hiding their malice could no longer sit still, and one by one they craned their necks to look toward Xia Liuqing.

"Elder Xia has a sharp eye!"

Gong Qing nodded.

"Gong Qing, you said at the time that you wanted to find the secret from back then, didn't you?"

Xia He crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"Could it be that this Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching is not one of the secrets from back then?"

As soon as Gong Qing said this, the others were all stunned.

Damn, come to think of it, don't say it, it really is.

This truly is a secret from back then, and one of the Core ones at that.

After all, the Jiashen Rebellion back then was all caused by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

"You guy, you got the Spirit-Binding and General-Dispatching from Wang Ai's hands?"

Xia Liuqing looked at Gong Qing suspiciously, then lowered his head to look at the booklet in his hand.

"Not only that, I have also more or less figured out the birthplace of these Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

Gong Qing narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xia Liuqing.

"Wait, don't say that!"

Xia Liuqing suddenly raised his hand, then looked around the circle.

"What? Xia Liuqing, can this not be said?"

Yuan Tao asked suddenly.

"The reason a secret is a secret is that once too many people know it, it is no longer a secret."

As Xia Liuqing spoke, his eyes looked toward Gong Qing.

"Then what about this bet?"

Gong Qing had his hands in his pockets, his expression relaxed.

"I don't have any objections; although the Spirit-Binding and General-Ordering is different from what you said, it can be considered completed."

"If I could take a look at it, I wouldn't have any objections either."

"Laozi is the same; this Spirit-Binding and General-Ordering is one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and Laozi is truly curious."

"Tu Junfang, you are probably even more interested, right?"

Someone looked at the Corpse Demon Tu Junfang standing in the corner.

"Fine!"

Tu Junfang nodded and said nothing more.

"To think that little benefactor Gong Qing would survive a desperate situation; this monk had even thought about what incantations to chant when performing the funeral rites for the little benefactor!"

Lei Yan Pao said with a kind face.

When Gong Qing took out the Spirit-Binding and General-Ordering, the matter was basically settled.

"However, there was a deviation in this mission, so you still won't be able to become the Sect Leader."

Yuan Tao said suddenly.

"How about I remain the Acting Sect Leader, and this little one dares to make another bet with everyone."

Gong Qing said with a smile.

"Again?"

"Not having become the Sect Leader, this little one is naturally unwilling to accept it; besides, this time we encountered a force majeure, and after all, that person is not someone just anyone can contend with."

The person Gong Qing was naturally referring to was Lin Xuan.

Everyone present naturally understood.

"So you were really driven out by him?"

Xia He said with a serious face.

"Naturally that is the case; if it weren't so, why would I send you all a message? After all, your lives and deaths have nothing to do with me, but I couldn't let you all die on Longhu Mountain.

That person truly had the intent to kill; I have a feeling that if we didn't leave, we would really die, the kind where we'd be wiped out completely."

Gong Qing said with a serious face.

"So, we should thank you for saving us?"

Shen Chong sneered, his tone somewhat mocking.

"No need to thank me!"

Gong Qing's skin was even thicker.

The others were speechless.

"Speak, what is the bet?"

Xia Liuqing threw the Spirit-Binding and General-Ordering in his hand back to Gong Qing.

"How about this, what about an Eight Extraordinary Technique?"

Gong Qing shook the Spirit-Binding and General-Ordering in his hand.

"Find another Eight Extraordinary Technique."

Gong Qing said in a relaxed tone.

"Kid, you are quite cunning."

Xia Liuqing snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"I have no objections!"

Yuan Tao said directly, "But I have a condition: this Eight Extraordinary Technique must be the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements!"

"Senior, are these Eight Extraordinary Techniques customizable now?"

Gong Qing turned his head upon hearing this.

"That is just my thought; if you don't agree, then I will..."

"I am still the Acting Sect Leader right now!"

Gong Qing looked at Yuan Tao with a smile, but that smile made the hairs on Yuan Tao's body stand up.

The others did not speak, watching coldly from the sidelines.

"But forget it, since Senior has said so, then let it be the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."

Gong Qing changed his tone and accepted the task of finding the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements.

"However, before that, I hope you all will continue to act according to the orders of this Acting Sect Leader; if any trouble arises, I will come to collect your lives then!"
