Chapter 64: Personally Transmitted Disciple

  The green-clad figures set out on their mission in the dead of night, a completely ordinary occurrence, and neither Liang Xin nor Gao Jian paid any attention to it. It wasn't until this group of green-clad figures had completely disappeared into the darkness that they shook off their forms once more, like a pair of bats, silently swooping into the Pacification Command's courtyard.

  Because there were mechanisms to assist, the guard in the Zhenfu Temple was not too strict. Gao Jian was familiar with the mechanism and would occasionally sprint or jump forward. Liang Xin followed closely behind him, watching where he stepped before stepping up herself.

  Meanwhile, the two men caught a green-clad person and showed their patrol order. The captured green-clad person was not stupid either, understanding that they had come for the Qu Qing Shi case, and immediately showed a joyful expression on his face.

  Under Gao Jian's inquiry, Qing Yi pointed out the location of Tong Binglang's dormitory. He then closed his eyes tightly, stretched out his neck and Gao Jian chuckled softly, "Let brother suffer!" As he spoke, he reached out and twisted the big tendon on his neck, and the other party silently fell to the ground, fainting away.

  Before long, they sneaked to the front of a row of black houses. This was where the Qingyi official's quarters were located in the Pacification Commission. Following Qingyi's directions, the two people counted to the third house from the left and Gao Jian stretched out his hand, lightly pressing it against the door. With a subtle movement, his plump hand silently entered the wooden door.

  Gao Jian's movements were cautious and careful, and after a moment, his body paused slightly, followed by a light cracking sound, the door lock broke.

  The two of them launched a simultaneous attack, pushing open the door and rushing into the room. At this time, Tong Bing was just getting up from bed, his eyes still bleary with sleep, and before he could even react, he was knocked unconscious by Gao Jian's palm strike. Liang Xin stood beside him, feeling rather bored...

  Gao Jian casually threw the captive to Liang Xin, and after rummaging through the house for a moment without finding anything useful, he whispered: "Find a place to interrogate him!" As soon as his voice fell, the two of them transformed into night owls again, rushing and jumping, and in an instant they left the Front Guard Mansion.

  The two people did not return to the guest house, but instead followed Gao Jian and caught Tong Binglang to a remote mansion in the city.

  After throwing Tong Binglang to the ground, Gao Jian finally let out a breath and said to Liang Xin: "Wake him up!"

  Liang Xin blinked his eyes, hesitating in his heart whether to pinch the acupuncture point or not. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tong Binglang, who had been soft and weak all along, suddenly let out a cold laugh, and with a swoosh, he plunged into the mud in front of the two people!

  Gao Jian's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a low voice: "Retreat, he knows magic!"

  Tong Binglang continued to sneer, his voice coming from underground and shifting positions: "I am one of the seven direct disciples under Guoshi Zuo, you two little ghosts are far from being my match!"

  Two people thought Tong Binglang was just an ordinary insider, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a genuine cultivator.

  One was the disciple of Guoshi, and the other was a wandering knight of Jiulongsi. This confrontation took place in secret, as neither side wanted to disturb others, which is why Tong Binglang would willingly be captured by Gao Jian and Liang Xin and brought here.

  The ground, dozens of feet in diameter, suddenly shook lightly, and the surrounding gravel and debris rolled with the shock, condensing into strip after strip of stone veins... Tong Binglang was urging his divine power, accumulating momentum for a breakthrough!

  Gao Jian took a deep breath, flipped his hand and revealed several talismans, which he slapped onto himself with a loud slapping sound. One of them even stuck to his forehead. Suddenly, his chubby body floated up like a balloon filled with air. As a Qingyi Youji, Gao Jian was an impressive figure, not only did he possess exceptional martial arts skills, but he also mastered the mysterious art of talisman-making. However, what he took most pride in was his detective skills.

  Gao Jian hung in mid-air, his narrow eyes gleaming with a sharp light as he stared intently at the ground below. At the same time, he spoke in a low voice to Liang Xin: "He's using earth-based magic to harm people. Think of a way to leave the ground, otherwise..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Liang Xin let out a fierce growl and suddenly transformed into a agile leopard, pouncing diagonally upwards with a raised fist, heavily smashing it onto the ground!

  A deafening boom, the ground was not shattered, but it seemed to have been smashed into a stone pool, stirring up layer after layer of painful ripples...

  After one punch, Liang Xin did not stop, but continued to dodge out, the second punch, the third punch, the fourth punch... each punch changed a position.

  Gao Jian was also a man of great insight, and from the aerial view, he surprisingly discovered that several places on the ground hit by Liang Xin's 'ripples' outlined a clear Big Dipper star chart!

  The final loud roar, the seventh punch thundered down, the seven stars aligned, and the Big Dipper took shape.

  Seven ripples suddenly expanded, linking each other together. In the midst of violent tremors, the mud in the entire garden suddenly transformed into a turbulent wave that shot up to the sky and burst open with a loud bang!

  Right in the midst of hiding in the earth, he didn't stop moving around, and with a burst of divine power, Tong Binglang prepared to strike down the two roaming riders. But before he could even react, an overwhelming force came crashing down on him, shattering his protective True Yuan. As he frantically ran for his life, blood exploded out of the ground, and after flipping over in mid-air several times, he crashed to the ground like a dead fish, stiff as a board.

  Gao Jian's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Liang Xin, and after a while, he burst out laughing and patted Liang Xin's shoulder heavily: "Good kid, no wonder the adults chose you to be a Touring Rider!"

  Liang Xin himself was beaming with joy, this move was a sudden inspiration that came to him.

  Since the Seven Soul Stars can lead the power of evil land to form an array in his body, can't it also be used outside? So he uses one star soul for every punch, and after arranging them according to the star chart, the seven powers indeed connect into an array, bursting out with a huge energy that instantly breaks through Tong Binglang's defense.

  This Tong Binglang is at most a three-step practitioner of the Voice and Color Realm, and the only thing to worry about is his mysterious earth-traversing technique, but in terms of strength, Liang Xin doesn't even take him seriously now.

  The rest of the things didn't need Liang Xin to worry about, Gao Jian's torture and forced confession methods were as good as Liu Yi's five years ago, making Liang Xin feel weak all over.

  Tong Binglang initially gritted his teeth and persisted, but soon began to cry bitterly and beg for mercy. Later, he begged for death, and finally, under pressure from Gao Jian, he told the truth!

  Among the seven disciples of Guo Shi, Tong Binglang was ranked last. He had previously only focused on his cultivation and did not participate in many worldly affairs. Until five years ago, Qu Qingshi and Liu Yizhen escaped from Kunlun Mountain, Tong Binglang was arranged by Guo Shi to be a Qingyi and joined the Jiulong Si.

  Under the support of higher-level insiders, Tong Binglang repeatedly made great achievements and quickly rose through the ranks, until finally being assigned to Qu Qingshi's command and coming to Yin County as an official.

  At this point, Gao Jian coldly asked: "In the Jiulong Temple, who else is a national teacher?"

  Tong Binglang was unaware of this, although he was the personal disciple of the national teacher, but he was a dull person and didn't understand many things. During his years as Qingyi, his promotions were all due to normal development, and even he himself wasn't clear who helped him from above.

  Tong Binglang was already a high-ranking official in the Green Robes when he was transferred to Pingzhou, and the National Master finally assigned him a task: to monitor Qu Qingshi at all times and grasp his every move. This task seemed simple, but Tong Binglang, with his three-step master's cultivation, couldn't complete it... What kind of person is Qu Qingshi? He is cautious and efficient, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to those of a three-step master.

  Tong Binglang and he were about the same in terms of combat power, but when it came to doing things, Qu Tian was in heaven while Tong Binglang was on earth! In these two years, he couldn't keep up with Qu Qingshi at all. What he could grasp was that every three to five months, Qu Qingshi would disappear for a period of time. Specifically where he went, Tong Binglang hadn't been able to follow even once.

  It wasn't that Qu Qing Shi discovered he was being monitored, but rather he had always been on high alert. Every time he went to Kunai Mountain to visit Liang Xin, he would deliberately lay a false trail and take a detour, causing Tong Bing Lang, who was following behind him, to become completely lost and ultimately lose his target.

  Liang Xin couldn't help but laugh, feeling proud from the bottom of her heart.
