The person sitting in front of Du Che was the person behind the recent attacks on the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xie Ninghe, the owner of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
No one could have imagined that the most loyal disciple of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall would be its greatest traitor.
Du Che no longer covered his face. He took off the rice hat and face mask.
“Du Che, the information you told me is wrong.”
Xie Ninghe was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. There were wrinkles on his face and a few gray hairs on his head.
“That Xu Ning you talked about is not in the state mind realm! He’s in the intention realm!”
There was a trace of murderous intent in Xie Ninghe’s tone.
Du Che was also aware of this, so he said in panic, “Apologies, my lord. I did not intentionally provide you false information. You don’t need to doubt my loyalty to you.”
“You know my desire for the Blood Idea Dan!”
Du Che’s words eased Xie Ninghe’s mind a lot.
He knew very well how much Du Che was obsessed with the Blood Idea Dan, a dan that would allow him to reach the state mind realm.
If it weren’t for his desire for the Blood Idea Dan, he wouldn’t have betrayed the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
Han Huxiao’s injury also wouldn’t have been so serious without Du Che’s help.
“Xu Ning just happened to break through in the past two days.”
Du Che quickly explained.
He was afraid that Xie Ninghe would kick himself out of the plan. Once that happened, he would never have the chance to advance to the state mind realm.
Du Che was currently only in his thirties, and he was already in the internal qi realm. In the eyes of the public, he had a promising future.
But, only Du Che knew that his current progress was all possible made by taking stimulating dan medicine secretly in order to please his brother and sisters.
In conclusion, his martial arts talent had come to an end.
If he wanted to go one step further and become a high-level martial artist in the state mind realm, he could only advance by using a Blood Idea Dan.
Xie Ninghe had already given him one half of the Blood Idea Dan according to their agreement. And as long as the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall was destroyed, he would be able to obtain the remaining half of the Blood Idea Dan and advance to the state mind realm.
“I’ll forgive your mistakes this time.”
Xie Ninghe knew that Du Che still had his value, so he was just scaring him.
“However, since Xu Ning has been promoted to the intention realm, our initial plan has to be changed.”
Xie Ning said calmly, “If we want to completely destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, we have to get rid of Xu Ning first.”
“Get rid of Xu Ning?”
Du Che was puzzled. “He is a very strong person in the intention realm.”
Seeing that Du Che was so timid, Xie Ninghe sneered. “Who cares about a newly advanced intention realm warrior? How strong can a newly advanced intention realm warrior be?”
“Du Che.”
Xie Ninghe’s voice lowered. “You have brought me the wrong information. That was a major mistake. But now, I’m giving you a chance to correct your mistakes.”
“Thank you, Hall Master Xie.”
After Du Che noticed that the conversation had gone awry, he slightly panicked.
“You have to find a way to lead Xu Ning outside the canton city. I will then join forces with Master Xue to kill him outside the city.”
Xie Ninghe’s words made Du Che’s heart tense up.
“Um…”
Du Che’s forehead was full of sweat. He seemed to be hesitant. “He is a martial artist in the intention realm, how can I fool him?”
“Your master is also a martial artist in the intention realm but wasn’t he still fooled by you?”
Xie Ninghe spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Du Che gulped. “My master is not suspicious of me, but Xu Ning, he…”
Slap!
Suddenly, Xie Ninghe’s posture changed. In an instant, he reached out his hand and slapped the corner of the table into shreds.
“Are you bargaining with me?”
Xie Ninghe sternly said, “Du Che, let me tell you that you have no choice. If you don’t listen to me, I will expose what you did and ask your master to personally clean you up.”
“I…”
Du Che knew that he had no choice.
“But if you do this, I will not only give you the remaining half of the Blood Idea Dan to help you break through to the state mind realm, but I’ll also give you that little Han Yue girl after the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is destroyed. I will also take you under my wing as my assistant.”
Xie Ninghe sweetened the deal.
“I agree! Thank you, Hall Master Xie!”
Du Che seemed to have made a decision. “I must find a way to trick Xu Ning out of canton city!”
“Great!”
Xie Ninghe laughed. He was satisfied with Du Che’s obedience.
Du Che stood up and cupped his fists. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Xie Ninghe.
“Wait a second!”
Xie Ninghe threw a porcelain bottle into Du Che’s hands. “Don’t forget to take this Breath Dan.”
“Yes.”
Du Che responded.
After warriors advanced to the state mind realm, they would gradually improve their perception of danger.
If it weren’t for the Breath Dan, Du Che would have easily been exposed.
“Xu Ning…”
After Du Che left, a concealed intent flashed in Xie Ninghe’s eyes.
…
Two days went by.
Over the past two days, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall seemed to have recovered to its former calmness.
Even the current number of apprentices in the martial arts hall filled the hall to 60% capacity.
Two days ago, Xu Ning bought some spirit medicines, and after absorbing them, he gained an additional 125 units of energy.
His total energy reserves had reached 225 units.
As long as he gained 75 more units of energy, he could break through the intention realm and reach the spirit realm.
‘I think that I will be able to fully understand Tidal Fist tonight.’
Xu Ning sat by the bed and glanced at the sky. It was evening again.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning’s study of Tidal Fist had almost reached the point where he forgone sleep and food.
After all, the temptation of the void realm was too high for Xu Ning.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, Xu Ning thoroughly understood the Tidal Fist secret technique. At that moment, it was finally implanted on Xu Ning’s Martial Arts Panel.
—
Name: Xu Ning
Martial Arts:
Spring Breeze Tactic (Mortal realm eighth stage: intention realm) +
Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic (Perfection Realm)
Gale Knife Technique (Perfection Realm)
Light Feather Bow Technique (Elementary Realm) +
Tidal Fist (Unlearned) +
Available energy: 225 units
—
‘It finally implanted onto the panel!’
After seeing Tidal Fist appear on the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning was extremely excited.
‘I can finally get a glimpse of the secrets of the void realm!’
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning directly pressed the “+” sign besides Tidal Fist.
—
Consume 100 units of energy to advance Tidal Fist?
Yes/No
—
‘100 units of energy?’
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, 100 units of energy still exceeded Xu Ning’s expectations.
‘The energy required for its advancement is so expensive.’
But Xu Ning quickly calmed down.
According to his understanding of the void realm from Wei Changqing, a void realm secret technique was different from a mortal realm external skill.
Mortal realm external skill stood independent from an internal skill; there were no fundamental similarities between the two.
However, there was a mutual influence relationship between a void realm secret scroll and a void realm secret technique.
‘Should I advance Tidal Fist now?’
Xu Ning began to contemplate.
The person sitting in front of Du Che was the person behind the recent attacks on the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xie Ninghe, the owner of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
No one could have imagined that the most loyal disciple of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall would be its greatest traitor.
