However, against the even more ferocious Bright Crystal, failure was only a matter of time.
“Ow—oh ah—”
A group of people lay on the ground wailing. Mingxi, annoyed, drew her sword and stabbed each person once, leaving only Lie Hu as the sole survivor.
She didn't touch their pet beasts.
Mingxi looked down at the ashen-faced Lie Hu. Her exposed black eyes were as cold as ice, and the palpable killing intent made Lie Hu feel as if he was being 'affectionately' stared at by the God of Death.
“Don’t kill me!”
“You’re looking for someone in this vicinity, right? I can help you! My older brother is the head manager of the underground gambling arena! My biological brother!”
“As long as you’re willing to spare me, I can ask my brother to help find someone! You must have heard of the connections of the underground gambling arena; there’s no one they can’t find in this Weiming City.
Don’t worry, my brother only has me as a relative. As long as you spare me, I guarantee he’ll be willing to help!
Everything I said is true!”
Even the strongest person finds it difficult to remain fearless when death truly approaches, let alone Lie Hu, whose character was already not great.
He didn't think of using his older brother's identity to threaten the other party.
Who knew if this killing god would become enraged and simply kill him to silence him?
At that time, his older brother would avenge him, but he would be dead, and avenging him wouldn't bring him back to life.
So, one must still lie low when necessary; a wise man knows when to submit!
This was also the main reason he had managed to survive in the dark alley for so long without getting into trouble.
Being tough when necessary and yielding when necessary—these were his excellent qualities as a wise man!
Mingxi guessed that Lie Hu had another identity; after all, his strength in this dark alley was not very impressive, and if he had strength, he wouldn't use such a crude and unskilled honey trap.
But the reactions of those people just now couldn't be faked.
The only possibility she could think of was that there was a terrifying existence behind Lie Hu that those people feared.
“The underground gambling arena?”
Every dark and decadent city seems to need such a place, otherwise, it’s as if it can’t highlight its identity as a den of iniquity.
If Weiming City was the tumor and heart of Yingning Zhou, then this underground gambling arena was the tumor and heart of Weiming City.
More than half of the people who disappeared daily in Weiming City died there.
It was a gold-wasting den, a dreamland for getting rich overnight, and also a desolate mass grave.
“How did you know I was looking for someone?”
Lie Hu saw that her attitude had indeed improved; at least the killing intent in her cold black eyes had dissipated considerably, and he subtly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ahem, well, actually, we’ve been observing you for several days.”
Mingxi understood. These days, she had indeed been loitering around the dark alley. In the process, she naturally encountered many 'interferences' and also noticed many peeping and scrutinizing gazes.
But the situation here was too chaotic; it was difficult for a single woman like her to wander around such a place without attracting attention.
So, as long as they didn't actively seek trouble, Mingxi had no hobby of poking out people's eyes.
“Then have you heard of someone named Yuan Qing? She’s a Path Seeker.” fгeewebnovёl.com
Before Mingxi left Immortal University, she had contacted A Wu of the Qiyue Family.
They had promised to help her with one thing after she saved the young master of the Qiyue Family in Yun Gong Film City.
And Mingxi’s request was very simple.
It was to meet Qiyue Yao and hope that he could explain in detail the circumstances that led to his entry into the Nine Gods Temple that year.
Qiyue Yao, who was rumored to have entered the Nine Gods Temple 93 years ago, was indeed still alive. He did not refuse Mingxi's request and told her his experiences from that year in meticulous detail.
Perhaps realizing Mingxi’s purpose, Qiyue Yao finally gave Mingxi a token.
A pocket watch-shaped item.
But half of the item was broken, indicating it was damaged.
“This is a small souvenir left to me by a companion who entered Wanmo Territory with me that year. She owed me a favor back then, and we had an agreement: whoever brings this watch to her can ask her to do one thing, even if it means her death.”
“If you need it, young friend, take this pocket watch to her. Her name is Yuan Qing, but I only know that she lives in the dark alley of Weiming City in Yingning Zhou. I don’t know her specific address.”
According to Qiyue Yao’s account, the main reason they were able to penetrate deep into Wanmo Territory, not only lucky enough to find the legendary Nine Gods Temple but also to retreat safely, was this Beast Tamer named Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing was a Path Seeker.
A Path Seeker was essentially a local guide, but the areas Path Seekers were familiar with were rather unusual; they would only take guests into Wanmo Territory.
And this Yuan Qing was the reason Mingxi had stayed in Weiming City for several days.
“Yuan Qing? Path Seeker?”
Lie Hu climbed up from the ground, furrowing his brow and pondering for a long time, eventually shaking his head.
Worried that Mingxi would find him useless and kill him without a word, he immediately added, “But my older brother definitely has a way to find this person! They control all the information on Path Seekers in Weiming City, so you see...”
“Alright, take me to the underground gambling arena now.”
Mingxi had been fumbling around for several days, asking everywhere she could, but aside from killing and crippling a bunch of scumbags and getting rich, she had gained nothing.
The underground gambling arena, it wasn't impossible to try to contact it.
“Good, good!” freewebnσvel.cѳm
Hearing Mingxi agree, Lie Hu jumped up excitedly, “Please, this way, please!”
He had a fawning, sycophantic expression, looking more like a servile eunuch than Li Lianying, but when he turned his head, the gloom and ruthlessness in his eyes were even more rancid than years of accumulated gutter oil in a sewer!
Bitch, making me suffer such a great loss! And killing so many of my men!
When I see my older brother...
Hehehe.
Could Mingxi not see that Lie Hu was being duplicitous?
Even if she were blind and foolish, she wouldn't trust anyone or any Transcendent creature in Weiming City.
Here, even a kitten could be a demon that chooses people to kill.
However, the situation in the underground gambling arena was complex. For a Blue Star native like her, who had only been in Weiming City for a few days, just finding the entrance to the arena was difficult.
Let alone directly meeting the high-ranking officials of the underground gambling arena.
So, no matter what tricks Lie Hu was playing, Mingxi decided to go with the flow. As for whether to kill him in the end, it would depend on whether his older brother could afford his ransom!
“How should I address you, Miss?”
On the way to the underground gambling arena with Mingxi, Lie Hu kept probing Mingxi’s identity.
Mingxi had indeed disguised herself this time.
There was no other way; she was famous throughout the Alliance, and wherever she went, she was the center of attention.
However, this time she didn't use 【Gene Replication】 and 【Gene Simulation】. This was Green Field Star, and using someone else's identity made it difficult to resolve personal terminal issues.
So Mingxi could only use a certain life skill she was quite proficient in during her previous life!
