Chapter 153: Backups, Backups! Still Backups

"That is Nature, we are going to save people this time, not to clash with the Company!"

Gong Qing said with a smile.

"Since that is the case, then contact us when the operation begins."

Dou Mei, the Gut-Piercing Poison, turned and left after finishing her sentence.

"This monk will also take his leave!" Gao Ning chanted a Buddha Sect name and left together with Dou Mei.

Shen Chong and Xia He exchanged a glance, then turned and left directly.

Seeing the four of them leave, Gong Qing stood in place for a moment, and a young man about his height walked out.

"The Acting Sect Leader is indeed the Acting Sect Leader; this method of yours is truly breathtaking to me. It's just that my Minghun Technique wasn't needed this time, so I wonder why the Acting Sect Leader still kept me here?"

The person who came was Lv Liang.

A descendant of the Lü Family who awakened the Minghun Technique, and also the Core of the original plan: to extract memories from Tian Jinzhong.

However, the plan had changed, yet Lv Liang had received a message from Gong Qing, which was why he appeared at this time.

"I naturally have a reason for looking for you!"

Gong Qing looked at Lv Liang, "The Minghun Technique actually has another name, right?"

Gong Qing said with a beaming smile.

As soon as he said this, Lv Liang's expression changed, and blue Qi surged from his palms.

"Don't be impatient. Although my strength cannot compare to those seniors, I haven't wasted these past few years either. Listen to me finish."

Seeing that Lv Liang wanted to make a move, Gong Qing waved his hand directly.

"What do you want to say?"

Lv Liang did not withdraw the Qi on his hands, his expression becoming guarded.

"You are a member of Quanxing, and I am the Acting Sect Leader of Quanxing; we are on the same path!"

"You, a Quanxing person, are telling me this?"

Clearly, Lv Liang found Gong Qing somewhat amusing.

Just because both are in Quanxing, they are on the same path?

There are a hundred people in Quanxing, and at least a hundred and twenty different paths.

No one is on the same path as anyone else.

"You want to investigate some things, and it has to do with the Double Perfection Hand, right?"

Gong Qing stated the name of the Double Perfection Hand directly; Lv Liang's face stiffened, and killing intent surged from his entire body.

"Since I know, that means this is not a secret, so you don't need to be so guarded. This is better for everyone."

Gong Qing waved his hand, walked to Lv Liang's side, and patted his shoulder, appearing without a shred of defense.

But this action of his instead made Lv Liang withdraw the Qi from his hands.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Nothing much, just being frank with you about some things. Only then will there be a foundation for cooperation. I help you, and you help me."

Gong Qing said with a smile.

"Just this?" Lv Liang asked with a look of confusion.

"That is all!"

Gong Qing glanced at Lv Liang's profile.

"Cooperation requires mutual trust. I am still the Acting Sect Leader of Quanxing, and you also want to find the answers to some things, so we can cooperate."

"It seems you know a lot of things."

Lv Liang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze had returned to calm.

"Actually, it isn't hard to investigate, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Liang gave a wry smile and nodded, effectively admitting to the matter.

"Then you should leave first. The Company has been searching for people like us recently; it is better to leave early."

"What about those people on the mountain? There should still be quite a few left on the mountain."

"Everyone has their own fate; the choice was given to them!"

Gong Qing shook his head.

"Fine, I will wait for your contact!"

Lv Liang nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave.

Watching Lv Liang's figure disappear, Gong Qing withdrew the smile from his face. After a moment, he raised his hand and gently turned the ring on his finger.

"I do not like things to go wrong."

Gong Qing said expressionlessly.

"Heh, listen to you, as if your plan didn't have any problems. What about the result now? You encountered that person, and you still fled in a sorry state."

"I don't know who you are. Since you said you could find me and contact me, I will trust you once. The Spirit-Restraining and General-Sending is in my hands, but I will not hand it over to you."

Gong Qing's tone did not change, but his voice became a few degrees heavier.

"Of course, Acting Sect Leader of Quanxing!" A woman's voice sounded, emphasizing the word 'Acting'.

"Some things require a foundation for cooperation, right? This time is just a foundation for cooperation; the place where we truly need to cooperate is still to come.

Therefore, this matter regarding Ding Daoan counts as my sincerity."

"Not enough!" Gong Qing said.

"Oh?" The woman on the other side seemed somewhat surprised.

"I also want the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements!"

"How greedy, but I agree. As long as you dare to ask for it, I dare to give it!"

Gong Qing heard this and turned the ring on his finger; the sound stopped abruptly.

As expected.

She possesses the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements.

Who exactly is this woman?

Gong Qing frowned in deep thought.

But he was currently dancing on the tip of a blade; either side could easily take his life.

Fortunately, however, he truly did not cherish his own life.

Therefore, things were becoming increasingly fascinating.

Ten thousand times more fascinating!

A smile appeared on Gong Qing's face, looking slightly unhinged.

He suppressed his smile and walked out; before long, a half-grown child with an ordinary face headed toward Longhu Mountain.

……

"How truly interesting!"

Yaoxing Society!

A playful smile appeared on Qu Tong's face.

This Acting Sect Leader of Quanxing is indeed interesting.

But he can certainly be used.

Smart people have their uses, and fools have their uses.

As long as they are used well, they have value.

"Wang Family, Quanxing!"

"Longhu Mountain, Baiyun Guan!"

"Na Du Tong, Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"

Qu Tong rose and walked, whispering to herself as her silk pajamas slipped off, revealing her stark naked body.

Her fingernails grazed her arm, leaving several bloody marks; before the blood could flow out, the wounds writhed and healed rapidly.

Yet she did not seem to notice at all.

"The Northwest Grasslands? Should I go?"

Until the wounds on her arm healed, Qu Tong did not turn her head to look at her own arm.

Such a great battle—even for her, there was an urge to go and take a look.

"Cannot be impulsive!"

Qu Tong reminded herself as she walked into the bath, raising her hand to turn the ring on her finger.

"Sister!"

A young man's voice rang out.

"How is it? Have you played enough?"

"I am not playing!"

Hearing Qu Tong say this, Ma Xianhong on the other end became anxious at once.

"Fine, fine, fine, not playing; later, someone with the Spirit-Binding and General-Sending might come to find you, let him take a look at the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."

"Oh!"

Ma Xianhong agreed upon hearing this, his emotions showing no change; he did not seem to care much about this matter.

"The Cultivation Furnace here is almost ready and will be finished soon; now we are just missing a warlock, but I have already found someone, so it will be completed by then."

Ma Xianhong was like a child showing off his achievements to an elder.

"Not bad, then I will wait; by the way, do not provoke that person from Baiyun Guan, you know who I am talking about!"

"Why? Perhaps he will also join our plan, and then the world will be in great harmony..."

"Be obedient!" Qu Tong's tone remained gentle, but Ma Xianhong, who was about to argue a few more words on the other end, stopped abruptly.

"Alright, Sister, I understand."

"It is good that you understand; that person is already an Inner Elixir True Person. Do you think someone like that would watch everyone become the same as him?"
