Chapter 131 Pretending to be a Missing Person
Qin Taihe prepared 5,000 spirit stones for Ruan Xing's travel expenses and two mid-grade magical instruments. After a few greetings, Ruan Xing left.
She first used the mask magic weapon to transform into Wang Zhi's appearance, then found the teleportation array station, and teleported to the direction of Nanzhou through one teleportation array after another.
From the time she learned yesterday morning that Meng Hui was undergoing the tribulation to the time the two of them escaped from Xuanbing Sect and headed for Xizhou, it was no more than eleven or twelve hours. It was just dawn when Ruan Xing was undergoing the tribulation, and it would take her about two hours to get to Nanzhou by teleportation array, so she could just make it in time.
Moreover, the several inner sect Jindan disciples selected by the sect might be delayed for a while because of Qin Taihe's disappearance. Maybe she would go there faster than them. But I don't know who will replace Qin Taihe once Meng Hui dies.
The only thing that troubled Ruan Xing was that she had never actually reached Nanzhou in her previous simulations, so she didn't know the exact location of the space-time rift. She only knew that it was at the junction of Hanhai Sect and Jinxia Sect, so she could only wait at the Jinxia Sect's teleportation array base.
Fortunately, she had seen the appearance of those disciples in the simulation.
When he saw those familiar-looking disciples of Xuanbing Sect walking out of the teleportation array, Ruan Xing immediately used the shape-shifting technique to transform into the appearance of Qintai He, straightened his back, and walked over with an arrogant attitude.
It was not difficult to play the role of Qin Taihe. He had no acquaintances in the sect who knew him, and his attitude towards outsiders had always been very cold and aloof. So even if he was acting with others, he could reduce 80% of the trouble by pretending to be impatient.
The only flaw is that Yin Feng is not with her, so Qin Taihe's request to entrust Bai Lang to Ruan Xing after giving up the idea of committing suicide is no longer valid.
But it's not a big problem, they can just think of an excuse to get away with it. After all, exploring the space-time rift is not a good task. They can't think of why someone would go to the trouble of pretending to be Qin Taihe just to enter the space-time rift.
Moreover, these people are still kept in the dark. They don’t know that in the eyes of the sect’s top leaders, this mission is a one-way trip.
Zhongzhou was originally supposed to send out three Jindan disciples including Qin Taihe. In addition to the two familiar-looking people, there was another one that Ruan Xing had never seen before and didn't know who he was.
However, when she walked over to the group, it was the person she had never seen before who reacted first. He asked with a strange expression, "Qintai He?"
The other two looked at Ruan Xing half a beat later, and asked in shock: "Didn't you run away? Why did you suddenly appear again?"
Although Qin Taihe is a very famous figure in Xuanbing Sect, many disciples actually only know him as Bailang, and if they don't pay enough attention to his appearance, they will not be able to recognize him at the first sight.
Ruan Xing snorted, "Who said I ran away? I just didn't want to be with you guys so I came here early."
"So that's how it is." Several people nodded in understanding. Everyone knew that Qin Taihe liked to be alone.
The first person who spoke was a little skeptical, "Then why didn't you explain to Qinghong Zhenjun and Zongwutang? And your white wolf is inseparable from you, why wasn't it with you this time?"
If Qin Taihe had not suddenly disappeared, the Zongwutang would not have sent him here temporarily.
"I don't need to report to anyone what I want to do." Ruan Xing raised his chin and said, "Besides, this is my first mission, so it's normal that I have no experience. Yin Feng has never been out of Xianyuan City since he was a child. He is not used to the teleportation array and left it in the sect. You ask so many questions, who are you?"
The disciple had a complicated look on his face. "I am Gu Duo, a disciple of Tianyan Peak."
Wow, he is worthy of being the close friend of True Lord Qinghong, he even sent out his own disciples.
Taoist Qingmeng is really willing to do so.
The other two followed suit and introduced themselves. "Inner sect disciple Wei Ke."
"Inner sect disciple Qian Changyue."
One of them is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the other is in the late stage of the Golden Core. The person she had sneak attacked and tried to impersonate was Wei Ke, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Gu Duo was temporarily sent out to replace Qin Taihe.
Ruan Xing nodded proudly to show that he understood, and then said to Gu Duo: "Master said that Zhongzhou will send a total of three people for this mission, so you are here for me?"
"Yes." Gu Duo nodded and hesitated for a moment. "But since you have reappeared, the candidates for this mission have changed again. It's up to you to decide. I don't mind. If you still plan to participate in this mission, I will treat it as a trip out."
This is a matter of life and death, and Gu Duo let her make the choice so casually. It seems that Taoist Qingmeng didn't tell him anything, and he was just a discarded pawn.
Ruan Xing turned into Qintaihe just to test the depth of this troubled water, so he naturally would not refuse. "After all, this is my first mission, so of course I have to participate. Senior Brother Gu Duo is very experienced, so I'll trouble you to support us."
With this division, Gu Duo's trip was in vain. On the surface, the reward for this mission is still very generous, otherwise no one would be willing to do such a dangerous thing as exploring an unknown secret realm.
But he didn't care, and quickly adjusted his expression. Gu Duo said, "Then let's go there quickly. Several brothers from Nanzhou are already waiting for us."
He took out the sect's jade token and used his spiritual sense to communicate. After asking for the direction, several people rode their flying swords together and rushed over.
Ruan Xing still used the sword that Qin Taihe bought for her in Xianyuan City, but no one knew either her or Qin Taihe well, so there was no situation where their identities were revealed through their weapons.
About five miles away from the direction Gu Duo mentioned, several people stopped their flying swords. Ruan Xing slightly sensed that the aura of this place was a little different, but he couldn't explain where this strange intuition came from.
In front of me was a large piece of farmland that looked somewhat abandoned. The fields spread out in a grid-like pattern, with no end visible to the naked eye. The weeds in the fields were so overgrown that they were three or four inches high.
Ruan Xing didn't understand the farming season, but he could tell that this piece of farmland hadn't been tended for at least a month, and the space-time rift had only appeared for a month.
However, Ruan Xing did not see any obvious abnormalities. It should be that he was covered up by the other cultivators. When they jumped off the flying swords, the air suddenly changed shape and several cultivators appeared.
Leading the group was the head sect leader who had not been seen for some time. He was followed by two old men, the hunched and lazy Elder Wen with a white beard, and a white-haired old man whom she had never seen before, with a gloomy look.
There were also two men and one woman, who were obviously dressed like people from other sects.
The female cultivator frowned when she saw the group of people. "Why are there four of them?"
Ruan Xing looked blank and pretended that she didn't hear anything. After all, Qin Taihe's personality was such that he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to others.
Seeing this, Gu Duo had no choice but to step forward and said, "This must be a fellow Taoist from the Hanhai Sect. Don't worry, the agreement of our sect has not changed. There are still five people. I just came with you to see the world and act as an errand boy."
