C837 Mysterious Figure

To hide in the dark, you have to get rid of everyone's trail. When he was fighting Han Guangrong and the others earlier, Du Qi had noticed that there were many people hiding in the surrounding forest. That was why Du Qi had provoked them before he left, making those who did not want to show up retreat a little. He took the opportunity to leave.

After Liu Xu showed up, those who were hiding in the dark retreated one after another. Only then did Du Qi feel at ease talking to Liu Xu. He did not hesitate to reveal his weapon forging skills. It was also at this moment that Du Qi suddenly noticed that there were still people in the forest. But when he searched carefully, he found nothing.

Although it was only a momentary feeling, Du Qi still firmly believed that his feeling would not be wrong. He could not find that person's existence, but it could only mean that that person's martial arts cultivation was very strong, or that he hid it very well.

Du Qi naturally would not let his guard down when facing such a person. After Liu Xu and Little Mei left, Du Qi waited for that person to appear. However, even after he stood there quietly for a long time, that person still didn't show any signs of movement. Du Qi originally didn't want to provoke that person and leave on his own accord, but he was even more unwilling to let that person follow behind him. Thus, he could only force him.

Although he made up his mind, Du Qi hesitated for a while before he smiled bitterly and said, "You are not willing to go with the crowd, and you do not want to show yourself. What is the reason?"

As soon as Du Qi finished speaking, a clear laugh came from the forest on the left. Along with the laughter, an old man whose age could not be seen suddenly appeared and stood ten feet in front of Du Qi. He smiled and said, "Little friend is indeed extraordinary. I was so careful, but little friend still found my traces. This is great! "

Du Qi saw that although the old man was full of energy, there was a hint of defeat in his expression. The old man was clearly standing in front of him, but Du Qi still could not feel the existence of the old man. Facing such a person, Du Qi couldn't help but feel shocked, but he wasn't afraid at all. While secretly gathering true essence, he pretended as if nothing had happened and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for? Let's do it!"

That old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little friend, don't misunderstand. I just happened to pass by this place. When I saw little friend fighting a powerful enemy, I was curious and stopped to watch the battle. I didn't have any other intentions."

Du Qi really didn't want to fight with the old man. When he heard this, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave!"

The old man stopped him and said, "Little friend, please stop!"

Du Qi asked in confusion, "May I ask what advice you have?"

The old man said, "I don't deserve your advice. I called little friend over because I want to ask you for a favor."

Staring at the old man, Du Qi said anxiously, "Looking at the old man, I think he is suffering from some strange poison or hidden disease. Even with my cultivation, I am afraid I am unable to do anything about it."

The old man's expression changed when he heard this, but he instantly regained his calm and said indifferently, "I'm not asking for your help for my own sake. If you are willing to help me, please come with me." The old man turned around and left after saying this.

Du Qi knew that it was impossible for him to escape so easily, so he had no choice but to give up on the idea of leaving. He braced himself and followed behind the old man. The old man seemed to be walking casually, but his speed was extremely fast. Du Qi exerted his movement technique to the limit before barely catching up.

The two of them ran about fifty miles between the cliffs of the dense forest, which was difficult for humans to reach, and arrived at a cliff. Du Qi saw that he was only thirty to forty zhang wide from the opposite cliff, and the two cliffs formed a valley. The valley extended from where they stood to the left and right, and no one knew where it led to. The valley was surrounded by clouds and mist, and no one knew how deep it was. The old man arrived at the edge of the cliff. He only paused for a moment before he jumped down without any hesitation. At the same time, he said, "Down!"

Du Qi followed closely behind the old man and jumped down the cliff. After descending about 90 feet, he landed on an irregular long platform that was only a few feet long.

Du Qi looked around and saw that his body was surrounded by fog. He could not see the scenery outside the platform, nor could he see the scene of the cliff. It would be hard to see the situation here anywhere else. As he was thinking, Du Qi heard the old man call out, "Little friend, please come in!"

The cliff behind the platform was slightly dented, and there was a small door shaped hole on it. The old man led the way into the hole, and Du Qi had no choice but to follow him into the hole.

Although the hole was small, it was very spacious and dry inside the hole. It was actually a huge cave. There was nothing inside, but there were two tunnels that were half a zhang wide and more than three zhang tall that led to the inner end of the cave. After the old man entered, he did not stop for a moment and directly walked into the cave in the middle of the wall. After walking for about two miles, he entered a cave that was several meters square.

Du Qi saw that the walls of the room and the ceiling were all completely stone walls, as if they had been dug out from a huge rock. The ground was made of black iron, and there was a small ditch on the left corner of the wall. The spring water gushed out from the underground of the cave and went into the ground on the other side of the door. A weak man in his thirties sat on a small platform in front of the stone wall.

As soon as he entered the cave, the old man respectfully bowed to the person inside and said, "Reporting to Master, this lowly one has invited a guest. Please allow him to meet you."

The old man retreated to the side after he finished speaking. Then, he turned around and said to Du Qi, "Little friend, this is my master. Please greet him."

Hearing the old man's words, the person in the room only glanced at Du Qi out of the corner of his eye. Then, he stared at the old man and said with some dissatisfaction, "Without my permission, why did you bring an outsider here?"

Under that person's gaze, the old man seemed to be afraid. Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and said cautiously, "Master, please allow me to report. I occasionally see that this little friend will use true fire to forge artifacts. He thought that perhaps Master has some questions, so he boldly invited him over. Master, please forgive this little one for making a decision on my own accord on account of my loyalty and loyalty "

The man said expressionlessly, "Since there is a reason for this, I will let you off the hook. However, this will not happen again. You can leave now."

The old man said gratefully as if he had been granted amnesty, "Thank you, Master. I will take my leave!" After saying that, the old man respectfully left the room and did not dare to look at Du Qi again.

After the old man left, only then did that person say with a friendly expression, "A servant does not have a letter. Little friend, don't laugh at me! I am Woo Jifeng. How should I address you, little friend?"

Du Qi said, "I am Du Qi. Please advise me!"

Woo Jifeng said, "Has Woo Kai told little friend about the purpose of coming here?"

Du Qi said, "It is precisely because I don't know why that old man brought me here that I asked you for guidance?"

Woo Jifeng said again, "Little friend, you have already reached the Embryonic Breath realm at such a young age. May I know which sect your master is from?"

Du Qi said frankly, "I can pass on my martial arts and cultivation to my own clan."

Woo Jifeng was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to be a little surprised and said, "Little friend, you are from another world? I wonder how your family situation is, and where you came from?"

Du Qi did not know what Woo Jifeng meant, so he could only say truthfully, "I live in Xiangyang for a long time. My family has already passed away. Now, I am traveling the Jianghu alone. I wonder what the other world is?"

Woo Jifeng's expression relaxed when he heard this, and he said in a low voice," I have a difficult matter. I wonder if you are willing to help me? "
