488: Man and Sword

"You can't do it. You can't hide your Qi."

Xiao Fan shook his head.

He and Ri Tian Nian dared to quietly dismantle homes and kill Demons because neither of them would be recognized or discovered.

One had the Kong Wu Realm, and the other had special abilities.

But Swordsman Zou didn't have such abilities.

So Xiao Fan didn't take him.

But at this moment, something that made Xiao Fan dumbfounded appeared.

Swordsman Zou directly carried Ri Tian Nian, hanging him on his back like a sword, and then asked, "Do I still have my Qi now?"

After Xiao Fan scanned him twice with Mental Energy, he said in surprise, "It can be done like this?"

At this moment, Swordsman Zou raised an eyebrow proudly, took out a roll of bandages, and directly tied Ri Tian Nian into a long stick. He really looked like a long, thin broadsword on his back.

After doing all this, Swordsman Zou laughed and said, "The place I lived in when I was little was chaotic, so I often had to run away."

"But carrying a person, it's inevitable to be suspected."

"So this is how it is. It's very useful."

Xiao Fan was stunned.

Good heavens, brothers Body Integration, man and sword as one, deceiving the heavens?

But... "Xiao Tian, aren't you uncomfortable like this?"

"I'm used to it," Xiao Tian's voice came from the bandages.

Xiao Fan rubbed the back of his head, feeling like he had seen more of the world.

"Then... alright, let's go together."

The two left the house and ran towards the pre-prepared map.

They were currently under lockdown, solely to find the murderer.

But at this time, the murderer leisurely found a small path and slipped out of the city.

The so-called inescapable net.

In front of the Kong Wu Realm, it was useless.

After leaving the city and landing, the group traveled non-stop through the Ghost Forest.

Swordsman Zou and Ting Qiao constantly leaped on the black trees, but their movements were extremely small. Their control over force had reached a level of effortless ease.

From a distance, there was no difference at all.

Finally, both looked down at their information watches, then met each other's eyes and nodded heavily.

The first stop was to overturn the Demon Clan's stronghold!

...A week later, in Lilith's palace.

"I told you to come back once a week, and you truly didn't want to come back a day early."

The languid Lilith leaned on her throne, long hair draped over her shoulders, her words tinged with a hint of reprimand.

Ting Qiao stood below, also in a good mood, and smiled, "At least I followed your rules."

Lilith snorted softly and said, "Correction, it's not my rules."

"It's our rules!"

"Speaking of which, the Demon Clan stronghold in Military Zone 121, you didn't take it down, did you?"

After speaking, she looked at Ting Qiao with a hint of expectation.

Ting Qiao said indifferently, "I did it."

"Beautiful!" Lilith's lips curled up slightly, revealing her sharp fangs.

Recently, the Demon Race had become increasingly active, interfering in various matters, and supported by races such as the Wild Bone Clan and the Ghost Clan.

These matters finally awakened the Blood Race.

They seemed to be trying to seize power!

Therefore, the Blood Race also gradually launched a counterattack, becoming incredibly tough in their stance on various issues!

In this increasingly tense atmosphere.

Everyone suddenly heard a piece of news.

Military Zone 121, which belonged to the Demon Race, was actually taken down!

Although it was just a relatively remote military zone, the Demons inside were not strong, with only one weaker King-level expert guarding it.

But this incident, happening at this special time, was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Blood Race.

Because the Blood Race was certain that this matter was not done by their own people.

That meant the Demon Race still had a potential enemy.

Someone who could silently take down their war zone!

This directly led to the end of the lockdown plan, and countless Demon Race members swarmed out, beginning to search for that potential enemy.

Although no important figures died, the Demon Race worried that this was just the beginning, and that mysterious force would continue to act against the Demon Race.

So all military zones belonging to Demon Race strongholds strengthened their defenses.

But at this time, the Blood Race became resolute; they wanted to directly take control of Military Zone 121.

Finally, after a period of negotiation, the Blood Race gained another military zone.

In the face of the general trend, this matter was insignificant, but a dike of a thousand miles can be destroyed by an ant's nest, and the atmosphere of the entire Ghost Forest gradually became tense.

Everyone was in danger!

Furthermore, in a few days, various forces would gradually move into the Ghost Forest.

Because the battle for the third heaven piercing crystal was about to begin.

It is rumored that the Saint of the Earth Goddess Alliance would personally oversee the Ghost Forest.

The internal strife within the Galaxy King Alliance should temporarily come to an end because of this.

This land was rife with undercurrents!

After Lilith finished relaying this information to Ting Qiao, she said in a deep voice, "Next, no matter what else you want to do, you must be extremely careful!"

"The Demon Race won't easily give you another chance!"

Ting Qiao nodded and said, "I understand."

"Oh, Your Highness, here's some essence blood for you."

Ting Qiao took out a Storage Ring and threw it to Lilith.

After Lilith caught it, she lowered her head and scanned it with Mental Energy, her pupils involuntarily contracting.

There was really too much essence blood inside!

This suddenly made Lilith's heart surge and her heartbeat quicken.

If it were before, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But now it was different.

After the Martial Arts book "Beyond" came out, people absorbed more essence blood to speed up their Cultivation, and the price naturally began to rise steadily, having already multiplied several times by now.

However, for a Blood Race Princess, this was something that could be ignored.

No matter how high the price, she could afford it.

But then, the Blood Race's memories awakened, and the demand for essence blood once again soared.

The entire Blood Race, with tens of millions of members, each needed a large amount of essence blood!

So now, essence blood had gradually become something that was difficult to buy even with money.

But Ting Qiao didn't even blink, casually throwing her so much essence blood.

Didn't he need it?

"Cough cough, I will refine all the blood here into the purest essence blood. I'll take half, and you'll take half."

"No, I'll take thirty percent, and you'll take seventy percent."

Ting Qiao, however, shook his head with his usual indifference and said, "Your Highness, I don't lack Cultivation resources. You can have it all."

"You..." Lilith's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Suddenly, Ting Qiao smiled and asked, "Your Highness, so many people around are suspecting whether I have another special identity."

"Don't you suspect me?"

Lilith, however, shook her head without hesitation and said, "I don't suspect you."

"I trust you."

"No matter who you are."

"Why?" Ting Qiao was a little confused.

Lilith smiled faintly and didn't answer anymore.

Suddenly, her Storage Ring flashed, and she said, "Take this. You should be able to use it."

Xiao Fan raised his hand to take it. It was a blood-red glazed bracelet, its style and texture consistent with Lilith's usual taste.

Just holding it made one reluctant to put it down.

Then, Xiao Fan put it on his hand.

But the next second, something unexpected happened to him.

A line of hidden text suddenly appeared on the glazed bracelet.

The moment he saw this information, he was stunned, but after understanding it, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately took it off.

Above, Lilith's delicate body also trembled, her face full of disbelief.

"You... you... you've hidden it so deeply?"
