Chapter 282 281. The Slimming Li Pingan (Please Subscribe!)
After discovering that half of the people in the entire Imperial Capital had consumed the corpse oil sold by the oil seller,
Xu Qing and the Arctic Exorcism Institute have been maintaining the highest level of alert.
A large number of personnel were dispatched to monitor the situation in the entire Imperial Capital City at all times to ensure that an immediate response could be made if there was any movement anywhere.
The huge movement of the Arctic Exorcism House naturally could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of all the major forces in the city.
The news of the house raids a while ago has not yet passed.
Now the Arctic Exorcism House seems to be making a big move again, and the whole city feels a bit panic-stricken for a while.
The wealthy and powerful families closed their doors tightly, warned their children to stay away from outsiders, and sent out spies to investigate the situation in the Arctic Exorcism House.
Xu Qing ignored the small moves of various forces in the city and only pursued the whereabouts of the corpse oil and the oil seller.
However, two days passed.
Xu Qing and others did not find any new oil seller, and the corpse oil in circulation also disappeared.
It was as if the oil sellers and the corpse oil had disappeared out of thin air.
On this day, it is night.
Xu Qing, Feng Lingchen, Qin Hongsheng and Bai Lele were standing at the entrance of a brothel.
"Will it be useful for us to wait here like this?"
Qin Hongsheng frowned and said, "The other party has been discovered once. Could they be caught again? We can see that from the fact that we couldn't find anything in the past two days."
"Then do you have any other ideas?" Feng Lingchen rolled his eyes.
"No." Qin Hongsheng shrugged.
According to Xu Qing, those oil sellers have the ability to move in a special space.
Even cultivators with great supernatural powers have to abide by certain rules before they can enter. What can a cultivator in the fourth realm do?
We can only sit and wait, but sitting and waiting is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether it will succeed or not depends on fate.
"If you don't have anything, shut up and listen to the inspector." Feng Lingchen looked at Xu Qing who was standing quietly with his hands hanging down.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Qing ignored it and just stared quietly at the crowded brothel.
Bai Le stood beside Xu Qing without saying a word, holding a cake in both hands and nibbling on it bit by bit.
At a certain moment, Xu Qing suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere else.
"coming."
"Coming? What's coming?" Feng Lingchen and Qin Hongsheng looked in the direction of Xu Qing's gaze.
It turned out to be a large bird with wings entangled in the wind and green feathers all over its body.
The bluebird at Linhong Inn?
And there is a person on the Blue Bird?
There is a no-fly zone in the Imperial Capital City, so the blue bird did not fly directly into the city, but landed outside the city.
"Let's go, we'll go to the city gate." Xu Qing called the other three and rushed to the city gate where the blue bird landed.
Bai Lale didn't need to be told at all, she moved as soon as Xu Qing moved.
Feng Lingchen and Qin Hongsheng were confused and looked at each other, seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
But Xu Qing didn't give any explanation, so they could only follow him obediently.
When he arrived at the city gate, Xu Qing saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure from afar.
The reason why he was familiar was that a person's aura was difficult to change. Through his aura, Xu Qing already knew the identity of this person.
The reason why he was said to be a stranger was that his appearance was completely different from the people he had known before.
The other side also quickly discovered Xu Qing's presence and hurried over, shouting excitedly:
"Xu Qing!"
Xu Qing looked at this man who had a tall and straight figure, neither fat nor thin, and whose unique small eyes were so wide open that they seemed not to be open at all.
I was thinking in my heart, who are you, handsome guy?
Without getting a response from Xu Qing, the man chuckled and said, "You are not mistaken, I am Li Ping'an! Can't you recognize me?"
Xu Qing nodded: "I really can't recognize him!" When we met some time ago, he was still a chubby little boy. Now he has grown taller and thinner, like a completely different person.
Except for those small eyes, they are still distinctive.
"I've refined my Qi!" Li Pingan held his head high with a proud look on his face. "It's said that after refining my essence into Qi, I can reduce my belly fat!"
As he spoke, Li Ping'an opened his shirt, wanting to let Xu Qing see the muscles on his stomach.
"Alright, alright." Xu Qing quickly stopped Li Ping'an's behavior, "Why did you come here?"
"Isn't it Mo Qingxue who I delivered the message to?"
"She is busy. Huai'an has a lot of things to rebuild. Many people died before, many of them died in injustice and anger. After death, they turned into ghosts and wandered along the Huai River. She is now busy killing those ghosts."
“So I had to come.”
Xu Qing nodded: "Where are the things?"
"Here." Li Ping'an took out the Hu Tian Fu and took out a few lanterns from it.
"Mo Qingxue asked me to tell you that although she doesn't know what you need this for, the amount of this thing has become very small due to the destruction of Tianguang Ruins, so use it sparingly."
"Okay." Xu Qing took the lantern.
Feng Lingchen and Qin Hongsheng smelled the smell of corpse oil: "The oil seller's lantern?"
Bai Lele also looked up.
"Yeah." Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "Probably the same thing."
"What do you mean by the oil seller's lantern?" Li Ping'an asked in confusion, "Isn't this the certificate for entering and leaving Tianguang Market?"
"Xu Qing, what do you want to do with this? Tianguang Market is far away in Huai'an, and it is not needed in Imperial Capital."
Xu Qing told Li Pingan about the corpse oil and the oil seller.
"Are you saying that the power of the haunted house has infiltrated into the Imperial Capital City?" Li Ping'an looked serious and solemn.
As a native of Huai'an, he naturally knows the horror of Huai'an haunted house!
"I'm not sure yet, but I think it's pretty close." Xu Qing said
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Li Ping'an frowned, "The haunted house has been broken. Although it has been suppressed again, it is not completely sealed."
The Li family has a huge influence in Huai'an City, so they naturally know the current situation of the haunted house.
"This is the Imperial Capital, the center of the dragon vein, and the emperor is here. The emperor's dragon energy will naturally overwhelm all other creatures."
“Even if the Ghost House is at the seventh level, it shouldn’t be able to infiltrate too much power here, especially when the Ghost House is still being suppressed.”
Xu Qing's move was not a risky one, but an attempt he made after considering all aspects.
Another point is that from the words of the oil seller, he knew that the corpse oil incident might be driven by the Embroidery Tower Ghost, but the real mastermind was not the Embroidery Tower Ghost.
"Each of us should take a lantern and light it, and perhaps we can enter the space where the oil sellers are moving."
Xu Qing handed a lantern to Feng Lingchen, Qin Hongsheng and Bai Liao respectively.
"I want to go too." Li Pingan shouted anxiously.
Xu Qing glanced at Li Pingan.
The meaning of the look in his eyes is very clear. How can you, a newbie, not know what's going on?
"Look down on me?" Xu Qing's eyes made Li Pingan laugh, "I have now condensed the Dharma image of my ancestors!"
Ancestor’s Dharma image?
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing, Feng Lingchen and Qin Hongsheng all looked at Li Pingan.
"Are you a general's disciple?" Qin Hongsheng asked.
The ancestor's Dharma image can only be gathered by the descendants of those generals who followed the Great Sheng Emperor to conquer the world, made great contributions, and were sent to the Martial Temple for worship after their death.
"That's right!" Li Pingan admitted it straightforwardly.
Anyway, if he uses the ancestor's Dharma image, his identity will be exposed, so it is better for him to just say it out loud.
