Chapter 162: Sneaking In to Save People

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Ning immediately sensed that Bao Weijing was here.

Xu Ning put away the furnace and put on his mask.

“Come in.”

Xu Ning said to the door.

Immediately after, the door opened and Bao Weijing walked in.

After closing the door, he bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

“Greetings, Senior Tao!”

The higher his status in the family, the more respectful he was to Xu Ning.

In his opinion, everything he had received was a gift from Xu Ning. Since he was able to give him this position, he could easily take everything away.

Moreover, Bao Weijing was sincerely grateful to Xu Ning.

In addition to these aids, Xu Ning had also saved his life twice.

“Intention realm?”

Xu Ning noticed that Bao Weijing’s strength had improved once again.

Although this had a lot to do with his pills, it also showed that Bao Weijing was quite talented.

If he was placed in the Yuelan Sect, he would at least be an inner sect elite.

“It’s all thanks to Senior Tao’s pills that I can make such progress.”

Bao Weijing was humble.

“Senior Tao…”

Bao Weijing took a step forward. “Recently, my strength has improved rapidly, so I have been valued by the Family Head, which has raised my status in the family. Now, I am qualified to participate in the discussion of the family’s decision-making hierarchy. There are also many people who secretly want to help me obtain the position of the family head.”

“Oh?”

This went smoother than Xu Ning imagined.

Xu Ning helped Bao Weijing in the beginning because he wanted to help him become a senior member of the Bao family, infiltrating the Bao family.

Xu Ning thought this process would take longer, so he didn’t expect this to happen so soon.

“Well done.”

Xu Ning praised Bao Weijing.

Although it was just a short sentence, Bao Weijing seemed very happy.

“Senior Tao, when I participated in the family meeting yesterday, I received some news.”

Bao Weijing said, “The Family Head, family elders, and Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect had participated in this meeting.”

“I learned that Bao Ruyuan, the elite disciple of the family and the core disciple of the Yuelan Sect, is dead. Fang Jie came here to deliver the news. Moreover, before Fang Jie returns to the Yuelan Sect, he will take some outstanding disciples of the family clan and let them enter the Yuelan Sect as outer and inner disciples.”

Xu Ning’s expression did not change, but after hearing the latter half of the sentence, he said, “You are quite talented. If you can enter the Yuelan Sect, you are more than qualified to be an inner disciple.”

“I don’t plan to enter the Yuelan Sect, I just want to be at your beck and call.”

Bao Weijing said respectfully.

Xu Ning smiled.

Bao Weijing said, “In addition, there is one more thing that is related to you.”

“The death of Elder Bao Xinxuan made Elder Bao Qiuhua feel threatened. She felt that someone was targeting the Bao family, so she persuaded Fang Jie to stay and help find the person who killed Bao Xinxuan, then get rid of him.”

Bao Weijing looked up at Xu Ning with a look of concern in his eyes: “Senior Tao, Fang Jie’s strength is said to be at the void realm eighth stage, you must be careful.”

Bao Weijing was curious.

Even though Grand Elder Bao Qiuhua was a void realm sixth stage, she didn’t dare to face Xu Ning, who had killed Bao Xinxuan, and had to rely on the help of the stronger Fang Jie.

This made Bao Weijing question Xu Ning’s strength again.

Prior to this, Bao Weijing had thought that Xu Ning was a void realm fourth stage martial artist, but now it seemed that Xu Ning was a terrifying existence in the void realm seventh stage or even eighth stage.

‘She deduced my true strength just from my attack on Bao Xinxuan. This should have been discovered by Fang Jie.’

When Xu Ning attacked, he only used his true qi, but Fang Jie still guessed it.

‘Bao Qiuhua must have paid a huge price to persuade Fang Jie to help her. If I’m not wrong, it should be that dao seal.’

Xu Ning sorted out his thoughts.

“Do they have any plans to deal with me?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Yes.”

After seeing Xu Ning remain so calm after hearing that there was an enemy in the void realm eighth stage, Bao Weijing was certain that Senior Tao was a high-level void realm martial artist.

“Bao Qiuhua has inferred that your goal is the entire Bao family, so they plan to use the important members of the Bao family as bait to lure you out.”

Bao Weijing continued to speak in detail, “In five days, the family will send the Family Head, several void realm elders, and the elites of the younger generation to go out together. Before that, this news will spread to deliberately bait you. They believe that this will make you have the urge to destroy the core of the Bao family.”

“In the meantime, Fang Jie will follow them in secret. And when you appear, he will attack you.”

Xu Ning nodded. This plan was reasonable.

“Will Bao Qiuhua participate in the operation?”

Xu Ning asked.

“She won’t participate, instead she will stay in the Bao family mansion.”

Bao Weijing was certain. “She seems to have something important to do, but she didn’t tell us the specifics.”

“Is that so…”

After understanding everything, Xu Ning started to think deeply about it.

“Well done.”

Xu Ning said, “I have a plan for what to do next.”

“These are the pills I recently prepared for you.”

Xu Ning threw out a bunch of porcelain bottles, and inside were pills that he had recently refined for Bao Weijing.

“Senior Tao, there’s really no need…”

Bao Weijing was a little flattered. “I haven’t finished the pills you gave me before…”

“It’s okay. You can just increase the dosage, this will speed up your cultivation.”

Xu Ning didn’t expect Bao Weijing’s status to rise so quickly.

The more this was the case, the more Bao Weijing needed strength to support himself.

“Then I’ll accept it…”

Although this was not the first time he had received pills from Xu Ning, Bao Weijing was still very happy.

He knew very well that the pills given by Xu Ning were of extremely high quality.

There were almost no side effects, and its effect was no worse than those medicinal pills that consumed potential.

“Go back and strive to advance to the spirit realm as soon as possible. I will also find a way to help you obtain the status of the family heir.”

Xu Ning made a promise.

“Yes.”

Bao Weijing left.

‘This Bao Weijing is quite useful…’

Xu Ning thought, ‘Since Bao Qiuhua wants to use bait to make me appear, then I will do the opposite. Not only will I not attack the core of the family, but I will go directly to the Bao family mansions.’

‘Fang Jie is not there, so it will not be difficult to deal with Bao Qiuhua and rescue the Wei family members.’

Xu Ning knew that he was about to achieve his goal in the Crystal Mansion.

…

Five days later.

The news that the core members of the Bao family had gone out to visit other big families had spread, and soon they left the Crystal Mansion Prefecture.

Xu Ning didn’t fall for it, instead he took advantage of the night and went to the Bao family mansion.

‘Sure enough, Fang Jie and the core members of the Bao family are no longer in the mansion, even Bao Weijing has left.’

Xu Ning carefully searched around the Bao family mansion. At this moment, he had already sensed Bao Qiuhua’s location.

‘Is she in a secret room or an underground dungeon? Moreover, there are three familiar auras next to her… It’s the Wei family members!’

Xu Ning’s eyes lit up, then he quickly rushed over.

At this time.

Inside the underground dungeon.

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were taken to a secret room.

They were then tied to shelves.

The three of them looked pale and exhausted.

They had experienced this many times before.

Every time this happened, they would lose a lot of blood.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Soft footsteps approached.

A skinny old woman with a dark expression walked in.

She walked into the secret room with a stone tablet on her shoulder.

It was Bao Qiuhua.

After seeing Bao Qiuhua walk in, Wei Changqing and the other two were surprised.

When they had blood taken in the past, it was always done by guards, but this time an old woman came.

And they knew this old woman.

This was because she was the one who abducted the three of them and placed them in such a hopeless environment.

“It’s you!”

After recognizing Bao Qiuhua, Wei Changqing’s pupils shrunk.

“Senior, can you let us live?”

Wei Changqing quickly begged.

The guards he came into contact with before were all minor characters. They only drew blood from them step by step.

But this old woman was definitely the decision maker. If he could make her agree to let the three of them go, then there was still hope.

“Senior, we are descendants of the Wei family in State Feiyun. If you are willing to let us go back, the family behind us will definitely give you enough treasures as repayment!”

Wei Changqing quickly said.

“Heh…”

Bao Qiuhua’s smile was eerie. “What is more precious than a dao seal?”

“Dao seal?”

Although this was not the first time they had heard this term, Wei Changqing and the others were still confused.

They didn’t know what a dao seal was.

“Senior, you don’t have to let me go, even if you just let my nephew and niece go…”

Wei Changqing still wanted to speak, but Bao Qiuhua pointed her finger and injected three strands of true qi into the bodies of the three people. They suddenly felt their bodies soften, inhibiting them from speaking.

“Stop struggling…”

Bao Qiuhua’s voice was hoarse. “Don’t worry, after this, your pain will be over.”

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng looked confused at first before an expression full of fear appeared on their faces.

They understood what Bao Qiuhua meant—this was the last time they would extract their blood.

After this, they would lose their lives.

Wei Changqing and the other two were in pain, but Bao Qiuhua was in a good mood.

After today, the dao seal would be completely unsealed.

Although it would not be hers in the future, she had enough time to observe it.

After observing, she, who had been stuck in the attribute realm for a long time, would have the opportunity to advance to the common seal realm.

“The dao seal is about to be unsealed!”

Bao Qiuhua’s fingertips were sharp, her eyes full of murderous intent.
