Chapter 1422: The Big Boss Takes Action
Editor: Atlas Studios
On the silent mountain road, the night was as dark as ink. There was no light.
Elder Qiu and Nie Jinfeng stepped on the bumpy forest path.
“Take a break.”
Elder Qiu looked at Nie Jinfeng, who was sweating profusely, and said, “We’ve been walking for a day and a night. My body can’t take it.”
“I can still take it!”
Nie Jinfeng panted.
She was about to see her son. Not to mention a mere mountain, she would not stop even if there were ten.
After all, she had been on this path for more than thirty years, almost forty.
“I’ll carry you.”
Elder Qiu stood in front of Nie Jinfeng.
“Go away!”
Nie Jinfeng refused. “Your current cultivation is inferior to mine!”
Elder Qiu hesitated.
If he wanted to use the ruse of self-injury, he had to use it to the end. Otherwise, if he was exposed, he would be the unlucky one.
“I still have my qinggong.” Elder Qiu said.
Nie Jinfeng glared at him. “Then walk faster! Find your son first!”
Elder Qiu was speechless. He used the unique skill he had learned from his disciple and said shamelessly, “I can’t see clearly at night. It’s not good to walk alone at night.”
After crossing this mountain, the two of them arrived at a quiet village.
There were not many farmers here, only more than 20.
Because it was late at night, everyone was asleep. Only a few puppies in the village barked.
Elder Qiu went over one by one and was scolded badly by the aunties and uncles who were woken up by him.
This was the first time the number one mysterious expert of Thousand Mountain Island had suffered such treatment.
Even in the tribes that had once lived in seclusion in the southern border, no villager dared to provoke him. They all treated him as a monster and had to take a detour when they saw him. How could they dare to scold him?
Elder Qiu was polite.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Hmph!”
An aunt slammed the door hard on Elder Qiu’s face.
Elder Qiu was dejected and looked embarrassed.
Nie Jinfeng wanted to laugh.
“Laugh,” Elder Qiu said. “There’s no need to hold it in.”
Nie Jinfeng said seriously, “There’s still one left.”
It was the last one.
Nie Jinfeng’s mood suddenly darkened.
There were a total of four places that Ji Wanru had given her. This was the last one. If they still couldn’t find it, their son might never be found.
With an uneasy heart, the two of them arrived at the last house.
Elder Qiu slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
An old voice came from inside the house.
“I’m here to look for someone. Is there a person called Dongsheng here?”
“Are you looking for Dongsheng?”
As soon as the old voice fell, the sound of someone getting up came from the house again.
Nie Jinfeng and Elder Qiu’s emotions were instantly in their throats.
Could this Dongsheng… be their son?
Creak—
The wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time was pulled open from the inside. An old man with a hunched back and white hair looked at the two of them with empty eyes, trying to see their appearance.
He was about the same age as Elder Qiu, but he was already old and inferior to martial arts practitioners.
Elder Qiu hurriedly cupped his hands politely. “Yes, we’re here to look for Dongsheng.”
“Who are you?” the old man asked in a hoarse voice.
Old Qiu said, “We have a son. He was born more than 30 years ago and was carried away when he was born. His name is Dongsheng.”
“Ah…”
The old man thought for a long time, as if recalling something. “It’s been about 37 to 38 years ago, right?”
Elder Qiu and Nie Jinfeng’s eyes lit up!
“That’s right!”
Nie Jinfeng said.
The old man said, “There was a child called Dongsheng. My brother carried him back.”
Nie Jinfeng went forward and asked, “Where is that child now?”
The old man said, “He’s gone.”
“Gone?” Nie Jinfeng was stunned.
“He was taken away by a young man…” As the old man spoke, he sized up Elder Qiu. “If he’s still alive, he’s about your age.”
Elder Qiu asked, “Do you know who that person is?”
The old man shook his head. “I’m not sure, I’m not sure. He gave my brother a large sum of gold. I was a little puzzled at that time. Which family’s child is so valuable? I asked if he was the child’s biological father, but he said no.”
Nie Jinfeng hurriedly asked, “Then… do you remember what he looked like?”
The old man shook his head again and sighed. “Dongsheng was only six or seven years old when he was taken away. In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed. I’ve only seen him once and don’t remember what he looked like.”
Nie Jinfeng had a strong feeling that this Dongsheng was her son!
But who had taken him? And where?
The clues that they had painstakingly found were interrupted here!
Nie Jinfeng felt like a knife was twisting in her heart.
Elder Qiu was also very sad, but he could not let both of them break down.
He calmed down and comforted Nie Jinfeng, “Jinfeng, the child is still alive, but he’s been taken away. We’ll continue to search. We’ll find Dongsheng one day.”
Nie Jinfeng couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down her face. “But the world is so big… Where can I find him? I’m afraid I won’t live to see that day…”
Elder Qiu thought of two intelligence giants: Zhuge Qing and Rakshasa.
Old Qiu said, “Let’s go to the Great Zhou.”
Nie Jinfeng nodded with tears in her eyes.
“Sorry to disturb you.”
After Elder Qiu finished speaking to the old man, he helped Nie Jinfeng turn around and left.
“Ah, wait! I remember now. When Dongsheng was four years old, he followed my brother to the mountain to pick firewood. He accidentally encountered a wolf pack and his back was bitten by a wolf. He fell down the mountain and incurred such a big scar.”
The old man said as he gestured, “That child most likely changed his name. He won’t be called Dongsheng anymore, but with such a big scar, you won’t find the wrong person.”
Elder Qiu bowed. “Thank you!”
–
At the Wei family.
The Saintess lay in the room sleeping. In her dream, there was a stick of candied hawthorn, two sticks of candied hawthorn, and three sticks of candied hawthorn.
Suddenly, a slight sound woke her up.
She opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. Then, she rushed out of the door and used her qinggong to jump onto the roof.
Wei Ting also woke up. He first heard unfamiliar footsteps, and right on the heels of that, he heard the Saintess’s movements.
He looked at the sleeping Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xiaobao, who was lying beside Su Xiaoxiao with her eyes wide open. He didn’t chase after them.
The Saintess’ martial arts were already very high. It was almost impossible to match her outside Thousand Mountain Island.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the Saintess’s whip was cleverly dodged by the other party.
The Saintess said, “Huh?”
The Saintess shot out silver needles.
The other party turned around and the silver needles hit the tiles!
“There’s someone!”
In the Peony Pavilion, Yun Shuang said warily.
Jiang Guanchao had long discovered it. He was not in a hurry, because the other party was being forced by the Saintess to come to their courtyard.
Their auras had already reached the point where they could completely restrain themselves.
The other party thought that it was an empty courtyard. When he approached, he realized that there were two people sitting on the roof.
The man in black was stunned!
Jiang Guanchao calmly struck out with his palm. The man in black tried to dodge, but how could the attack of the Assassin Alliance’s Alliance Master be so easy to dodge?
The man in black was sent flying on the spot and fell heavily from the roof.
However, the strange thing was that the man in black clearly fell, but he did not land. Instead, he disappeared!
Jiang Guanchao frowned slightly.
Yun Shuang also frowned. “What martial arts?”
Jiang Guanchao said, “Japanese Secret Technique.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an aura arrived in the air and approached Yun Shuang’s back.
Jiang Guanchao pulled Yun Shuang over and slapped the other party with his other palm.
At this moment, the other party disappeared again.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Jiang Guanchao.
Dealing with Yun Shuang was a feint. His real goal was Jiang Guanchao.
With a ripping sound, his ninja knife slashed Jiang Guanchao’s back.
Jiang Guanchao’s clothes were torn, revealing his strong back muscles.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Guanchao turned around and caught the other party’s blade with his fingertips. It broke with a clang!
