Chapter 424 Safe and Secure
At one of the stalls, Shang Que was examining the items for sale with some interest.
This time, he was busy with private matters when he left the palace, so he had to be extra careful. If he brought his tail back to the palace, the palace's centuries-old plan would be ruined, and he himself would suffer the torment of being skinned alive and having his soul extracted.
Therefore, after arriving in Blood Slaughter City, he planned to stay here for a few days to observe the situation and prepare to set off after confirming that there were no problems.
Over the past few days, Shang Que used a secret method to investigate everyone he met. He saw 32 people repeatedly, and he marked each of these 32 people.
Today is his fifth day in this city, and none of the thirty-odd people have shown up today, which means that the second encounter between the thirty-odd people was entirely due to some unexpected event.
"There aren't many people as reliable as me."
Shang Que leisurely picked up a piece of glass and jade from the stall and casually examined it, feeling quite pleased with himself.
If the formation he left in the restaurant room is not touched after today, he will set off to return to the palace tomorrow.
Shang Que couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of seeing the beautiful Ji Huanxue again.
I've been gone for so long, she must think of me occasionally, right?
At that very moment, in a restaurant dozens of miles away, Ding Yi was lying on his bed, looking at the motionless strip of cloth on his wrist, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What's this guy doing? He hasn't moved for days, like he's brain-dead. Could he have spotted me?"
Ding Yi thought to himself, then picked up the quicksand map, but found nothing unusual on it, and immediately felt a little relieved.
In the past few days, he had instructed Zhou Ying to secretly buy a lot of Ascension Ointment and bring it back. This Ascension Ointment was for strengthening the production of the Yellow Seed.
Before leaving, he needs to strengthen another batch of Huang Zi to ensure his future lifespan.
Ding Yi doesn't plan to sell this batch of Huang Zi under the name of the Zhao Clan Chamber of Commerce. Instead, he intends to distribute it for free, aiming to catch people off guard.
With the first batch of Huangzi entering the market, the demonic cultivators here must have a deeper understanding of Huangzi, so even if this thing is dropped on the road, there is absolutely no reason why they wouldn't recognize it.
As for Zhou Ying and her group, he plans to stay here and help him continue running the shop.
Tracking is no easy task; the more people involved, the easier it is to be discovered. Even Zhu Jiu Jie (Pigsy) plans to stay here to prevent any unnecessary accidents.
It seemed that Ding Yi's complaints had an effect, because by noon the next day, he noticed that the cloth strip on his wrist had started to move again.
"Are you finally taking action?"
Ding Yi looked at the twisting strip of cloth on his wrist, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He quickly got out of bed and hurried to Zhou Ying's room.
Although Zhou Ying is a female cultivator, the furnishings in her room are still very simple, even more so than Ding Yi's.
However, both of them were straightforward people, and Ding Yi directly assigned Zhou Ying the next task in the room.
"My lord, are you going away for a while?"
Zhou Ying understood the implication in Ding Yi's words and asked with some confusion.
"Ok?"
Ding Yi frowned, seemingly displeased with Zhou Ying's probing.
No one could know that he went out to find Changqingzi; that was his bottom line!
Upon seeing this, Zhou Ying immediately bowed and said apologetically:
"It's not that I'm being presumptuous, but I need to calculate the amount of yellow coin to be sold based on the time frame."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi's expression relaxed slightly, but he also sneered, then pinched Zhou Ying's chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:
"I admit you're very smart. Although you've made a vow, you probably have quite a few hidden agendas."
"However, with your intelligence, you should understand the status of Ascended beings here."
Ding Yi's fingers gradually tightened, and a "crunching" sound came from Zhou Ying's chin, but she still looked at Ding Yi calmly, as if she hadn't noticed at all.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi snorted coldly and said indifferently:
"I don't know the exact time, but I will leave you enough yellow coins."
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he took out a bag of soul crystals that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying took the package, then suddenly asked:
"What should I do if Meng Yunxi makes a mistake?"
Ding Yi was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Zhou Ying's face, a strange expression rising in his mind, and then said:
“Of course, we should kill her.”
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he left Zhou Ying's room and went to Zhu Jiu Jie's place again.
At this moment, Zhu Jiu Jie was still watering the flowers in his room. He was quite happy to see Ding Yi arrive. After all, with the recent addition of several ascendants, he suddenly felt that his role seemed to have diminished considerably.
Ding Yi looked at Zhu Jiu Jie, then smiled and took out an object from his pocket. He blew on it, and the object suddenly swelled up, turning into a weapon shaped like a rake.
However, this rake was clearly a size smaller than normal, but Ding Yi had tailored it to fit Zhu Jiu Jie's physique.
Pigsy was stunned when he saw the rake that had suddenly appeared, and he muttered to himself:
"Boss, what... what is this?"
Ding Yi chuckled, then tossed the rake to Zhu Jiu Jie, saying:
“I promised you long ago. This is something your ancestors used. Although I couldn’t get the original, I found a substitute.”
Pigsy took the rake, played with it in his hands for a while, and grew to love it even more, hugging it and jumping around the house.
Ding Yi looked at Zhu Jiu Jie with a smile on his face and continued:
"Keep an eye on those ascendants for me. If there are any problems, use your new weapon to kill them all."
Zhu Jiu Jie was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Ding Yi standing at the door and immediately asked:
"Boss, should we kill those two women too?"
Ding Yi waved his hand and said:
“Nine Commandments, you must understand that to achieve great things, you need to give up many things.”
"I'm talking about everyone, do you understand?"
Zhu Jiu Jie readily agreed, and Ding Yi nodded in satisfaction before leaving the room.
This rake, which looks like a rake, is actually a bomb.
Just in case, if any of these people who know his secrets run into trouble, they must all be dealt with immediately.
Since he was no longer by their side, he had to leave a backup plan to keep them in check, and that backup plan was this rake.
Otherwise, if those venerable ones find these people and use powerful means to locate them, then they would truly die unjustly.
After all, he was not afraid of dealing with a True Person at this moment, but he would not be able to withstand a single move against a Venerable One.
In this chaotic world, compassion is the most expensive thing, a fact that Ding Yi had already learned from the lower realms.
