Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 183 Hope Despair
Su Ji followed Jiang Ling's gaze, and the attic in the distance must be the alchemy room she mentioned.It's not too far from here, and we should be able to arrive before dark.

Looking at the alchemy room from a distance, Su Ji showed doubts, "Why didn't you find such an obvious place before?"

"Because it wasn't there before."

Su Ji was a little surprised, "You mean that Neidan, the White Wolf King, was placed elsewhere?"

"No..." Jiang Ling then added, "What I'm talking about is that the alchemy room was not there before."

"The alchemy room only appeared there recently?"

"That's right. I just noticed it not too long ago, it appeared about half an hour ago."

"No wonder I didn't see it this morning."

There was hope in Su Ji's eyes, and he immediately set off to walk in that direction.

Kunlun Mountain stretches for thousands of miles from east to west, and the higher it is, the less populated it is. A place as high as Mount Everest can only be set foot in by disciples.The two of them didn't meet a fellow student along the way, nor did they encounter any obstacles.

At dusk, the sun sets.

The two of them had reached a place less than [-] steps away from their destination. Looking around, the alchemy room in the distance was as ethereal as a mirage.The mist lingers around the attic, and the thick aura is no less than that of Yuxu Palace, the ancestral court of Chanjiao.

Seeing that the alchemy room was close at hand, Su Ji suppressed his excitement, and did not move forward in a hurry, but swept around vigilantly, carefully checking the surrounding environment.If the white wolf king inner alchemy is really hidden in that alchemy room, in order to prevent outsiders from intruding, there must be layers of restrictions nearby.

However, the strange thing is that Su Ji didn't find anything unusual, nor did he see a guard.

Jiang Ling was also puzzled. The current situation reminded her of the time when she and Ji Gongyan went to Yuxu Palace secretly, and it was also in this unguarded state.She faintly felt a little uneasy. Judging from her rich experience in stealing treasures in the past, the current situation is not a good omen, because only when the security of a place is so tight that it is absolutely safe, such a seemingly lax situation will appear.

The two of them walked forward slowly and cautiously for a long time, but the distance from the alchemy room remained at [-] steps, which did not change at all!
Looking at the misty building not far away, the two of them were at a loss.

Jiang Ling frowned, and immediately took out an oil-paper umbrella, her figure turned into a red line, and Yu Kong chased after her, but the attic drifted farther and farther with her movement, keeping a distance of two hundred steps.

After a while, Su Ji saw Jiang Ling flying back alone, landing on the ground, with his hands on his knees, panting one after another.

"Damn!" Jiang Ling put away the oil-paper umbrella and said angrily, "That attic seems to have legs, and it can run away by itself!"

Su Ji's heart sank, the hope just now had turned into despair, and his shining eyes were instantly eclipsed.

"Presumably that attic itself is the strictest restriction in the world. I'm afraid that no matter who it is, as long as it approaches two hundred steps, its position will move."

"Could it be that the attic is usually running around on the mountain? That's too weird!"

"Let's go first. If anyone inside is disturbed, it will be troublesome to be discovered." Su Ji didn't stop after speaking, turned around lonely, and returned according to the way he came.Jiang Ling sighed and silently followed his footsteps.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the night is coming quietly.

The two walked on the dark mountain road without talking.

There was a dead silence all around.Jiang Ling's lost expression merged with the dim night.

Su Ji walked with her head down, she was as disappointed as she was, but in the current situation, she really didn't know what to do.

White Wolf King Neidan.

The only life-saving straw that can save his apprentice.

At this moment, there is not much time left for Hua Rulang.The half-year deadline mentioned by the one-eyed doctor has already passed more than half, and there is only one month left after excluding the time needed on the way back to Shenhou's mansion, but now he has come to a dead end. Where to start.

"Have you ever thought about...asking Master?" Su Ji broke the quiet atmosphere with one sentence.

"Master?" Jiang Ling snorted, "You really regard that old guy as your master?"

Su Ji pondered: "I don't think he is as heartless as I imagined, maybe he will find a way to help you."

"He won't!" Jiang Ling said categorically, "If Wu Ji had any humanity, he wouldn't have knelt down and died there alive at the foot of Kunlun Mountain that day when he wanted to save his master's child! Don't forget what you are here for. Yes, you are not here to learn from a teacher! We have only one goal!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Ji opened his eyes slightly, and immediately looked at her suspiciously, "You said... there is only one goal for us?"

Jiang Ling was momentarily at a loss for words, realizing that he had accidentally missed some important information in a moment of excitement.

Su Ji sighed softly, "You finally said it yourself. You overheard my conversation with the White Wolf King in Wangxian Tower, so you came to Kunlun Mountain with me all the way, and you chose to let me steal the inner alchemy for you, because You know that we have the same purpose, so we will cooperate with you smoothly."

Jiang Ling looked straight into his eyes that see through everything, and he didn't expect him to speak so clearly in one breath!

"You... never believed me?"

"You are a thief, how can I trust you?"

"It turns out...you have always regarded me as a thief..." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Ling's mouth, "Yes, I am a thief. But do you think I have harmed you? There are good and bad thieves. Harmful people are worse than thieves, and some people are more cruel than thieves?"

Su Ji thought of the scene where she stole Mu Lingyu's weapon and almost killed the two of them, and couldn't help but angrily said: "I have been a man, pretended to be a ghost, and pretended to be a fairy, but I have never been a thief! Even if I want to steal it, I will Not for yourself! And you will only satisfy yourself by stealing other people's precious magic weapon!"

Jiang Ling held the handle of the umbrella and clenched it slightly, "Well, since we're talking about this today, there's no need for us to continue working together. There is only one White Wolf King inner alchemy, and I will take it according to my ability in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ling held up the oil-paper umbrella and left through the air.

Su Ji stared at the red shooting star piercing the night sky, and stood still for a long time, until the excitement gradually calmed down, and then realized that she was a little serious just now, even if she was a thief, she didn't like others to call her a "thief", because a thief's conscience Always telling her that stealing is wrong.

Back at the top of Mount Zhuyu, Su Ji sat alone all night, blaming himself for not being strong enough?If I can have as profound mana as Wu Ji, maybe I can change the tragic ending of the wolf...

After thinking about it all night, he finally understood what he wanted.

At dawn the next day, Wu Ji appeared on the peak early, and then the rest of the disciples came in droves, even Guo Han who left yesterday was no exception.

The four disciples sat around Wuji, waiting quietly.

Wu Ji's gaze swept over the four of them, and he said slowly, "Did you think clearly about what the teacher explained yesterday?"

"Think clearly." Su Ji and Jiang Ling responded in unison.

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and turned their heads resentfully.

"I've thought about it too." Niu Zhu scratched his head and said.

Guo Han "cut" disdainfully, "What's there to think about."

Wu Ji looked sideways, picked up a branch from the ground, folded it into four pieces, and brought it to the four of them.

"If you've already made up your mind, write down what you really want to do on the ground..."
