Chapter 85: Invisible Heart (Fourth Update)
This man spoke with his back to Zhou Heng, which was incompatible with the painting style of passers-by.
But the people around him didn't seem to notice anything weird about him, and even ignored him. No one even laid eyes on him.
Secret skill? !
Such an ability that transcends the ordinary world can usually only be achieved by martial arts at the middle and third level.
The sixth-grade secret is what seventh-grade warriors are most likely to learn.
Zhou Heng's eyes became serious when he looked at this man. Being able to perform secret techniques so silently meant that the strength of the man in front of him had probably reached the peak of the seventh level.
After being reborn, the Xuan Guan ancestral orifice was first opened, and a relatively subtle connection was established with the outside world, which was the pinnacle of the seventh level.
It is many times more powerful than an ordinary seventh-grade warrior.
Usually at this level, one can already enter the top twenty on the ranking list.
Of course, the premise is that you are under thirty years old.
This man does not look like he is under thirty years old, but this does not mean that he is not strong. On the contrary, his strength may be even stronger.
Perhaps better than the top ten on the list.
Being older means that you have to practice for a longer time.
This makes it difficult to estimate how long it will take for him to reach the peak of the seventh level, and even more difficult to estimate how far he is from reaching the sixth level.
He is a powerful man with terrifying strength.
The attitude is a bit arrogant.
Maybe his status is extraordinary.
Zhou Heng made a judgment in his mind.
However, even for such a strong man, he was too lazy to care, because it was a waste of time.
It has nothing to do with the purpose of his trip.
"There's no need to talk." Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, please come back."
"Oh?" The man turned his head, looked at Zhou Heng, and smiled: "You are very interesting."
After saying this, he turned around and left without stopping.
It seemed that he really didn't care about being rejected by Zhou Heng.
This man walked forward slowly, walked into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The passers-by did not notice him at all, as if this man had never appeared.
Zhou Heng's brows furrowed. He always felt that the person who came just now had bad intentions, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
"Mr. Zhou, do you know who that person was just now?" Shen Jingjing asked in a low voice. She looked a little nervous and her face turned slightly pale. She pulled Zhou Heng's clothes and pointed to the alley next to her.
"Who is he?" Zhou Heng and Shen Jingjing walked into the dark and narrow alley and said, "Miss Jingjing, please tell me."
"Chao Xian was born in an ordinary martial arts family. He only entered the ninth level at the age of forty. It seemed that he had some adventure. Since then, his cultivation has skyrocketed, reaching the peak of the seventh level in just three years.
"Not only that, he also mastered a strange and powerful secret technique. He once relied on the power of the secret technique to fight four peak seventh-level warriors alone, causing them to kill each other. In the end, he defeated them without any injuries. People in the world said 'Invisible mind'.
Shen Jingjing's expression was very serious, and she said in a deep voice: "His strength is at the lower third level. He is definitely a first-rate master. He is not inferior to the top ten on the list, and may even be stronger. Mr. Zhou, you are being targeted by him, which is a bit embarrassing." Wonderful.”
"Why did he come to me?" Zhou Heng frowned and said in confusion: "I don't know him and have nothing to do with him."
"I don't know either." Shen Jingjing's little face was also full of doubts and a little confused. "Chao Xian came here three days ago. He has been walking alone and not communicating with others. He only often goes to the suburbs of the city. I was just investigating the situation in the wasteland, why did I suddenly come to see you?"
"That wasteland on the outskirts of the city?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Miss Jingjing, this Chao Xian was very ordinary before he was forty years old, right?"
On the east and west sides of Yuyang County are city gates, leading to official roads to other places. To the north is a jungle and a lake. The only wasteland is the south one, which is the "secluded place" that Xuanyang took him to when Zhou Heng came last time. Place".
It is also the place where Zhou Heng suspects that Xuanyang's true form is sealed.
From the feedback given by Zhou Tian Xunjie Division and the previous appearance of a ghost named Yu Shang from here, he had reason to suspect that more than one ghost named Xuanyang might be sealed there.
Yu Shang is like that, He Yang is like that, maybe... Chao Xian is like that too.
At first, when Zhou Heng listened to Shen Jingjing's description of Chao Xian's deeds, he preconceived the idea and thought that this was just a lucky man who had had an adventure.
But then I thought about it, if Chao Xian's body was taken away by a ghost, it seems that a similar effect could be achieved.
Maybe there are no weird secrets at all, just special abilities possessed by ghosts.
And compared to normal secret sixth-grade methods, the special abilities of ghosts are even more bizarre and unpredictable.
"Hmm..." Shen Jingjing thought for a while and nodded: "I don't know much, but the rumors I heard said that Chao Xian's martial arts achievements were not good before he was forty years old.
“The martial arts school even tried to persuade him to give up, but then for some reason he suddenly understood and actually broke through to the ninth level.
"This is how we have today's 'invisible mind'. It's embarrassing to think about it."
"I see." Zhou Heng nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It seems that Chao Xian is really not simple. Well, I have to be careful next time."
He suspected that Chao Xian was a ghost that had completely taken away his body. It sensed the pure Yang energy in his body and came looking for him to devour him.
"Well, Chao Xian's attitude just now was very strange. Young Master should really pay more attention." Shen Jingjing nodded and said, "How about I live with Young Master these days. If Chao Xian is really up to no good, I can help him." ”
Live together?
Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and inexplicably thought of Cheng Jiangjian.
Shen Jingjing saw Zhou Heng's expression was different, and thought he had misunderstood. Her face suddenly blushed, and she explained: "I mean, you and I live in the same inn, next door.
"In this way, we can take care of each other. After all, we are now old friends from a foreign land. It is normal for fellow villagers who happened to meet in other places to help and support each other."
"It seems to be the case." Zhou Heng nodded and smiled: "By the way, Miss Jingjing must have guessed the purpose of my visit to Yuyang County. Do you have any clues?"
"When I heard you call me Miss Jingjing, I guessed it." Shen Jingjing smiled and said: "You must have looked through the list looted from the Three Poison Sect, inquired about the purchase of drugs, and found that I had also asked about it, which means you are looking for the Three Poison Sect."
"The girl is smart." Zhou Heng nodded slightly and said: "Do you have any clues?"
"Yes. "Shen Jingjing nodded, looked around, and said, "Why don't we go back to the inn first and talk about it later?"
"Okay. "Zhou Heng agreed.
...
In the inn suite.
It took Zhou Heng and Shen Jingjing quite a while to discuss the Three Poison Sect.
At the same time, he also asked indirectly whether he had seen some people wearing masks, with strange whereabouts but very powerful, or whether there were any strange phenomena in recent days.
In order to find out the whereabouts of the people from Zhou Tian Patrol Division.
Therefore, when the two finished their topic, the sun had already set and the sky was full of red clouds.
The glow of the clouds shone into the house through the window, making the tables and chairs glow with a faint red light.
Suddenly, a black shadow covered the sunset glow, dimming the light in the inn room.
Zhou Heng turned his head and saw Chao Xian standing in front of the window.
He had his back to the sunset glow, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in darkness, with shadows on his face.
Only his eyes were blood red.
The eyes looking at Zhou Heng were full of heat.
