Chapter 731: Tracking the Mark
Ren Woxing's expression shifted, and he looked at Ren Yingying.
"You're going to the palace?"
Ren Yingying nodded.
"good."
She was ready. In the next period of time, she would go north to the capital to wait for Zhu Houzhao to start the selection of concubines. At that time, she would enter the palace to participate in the selection. As long as she caught Zhu Houzhao's eye and was made a concubine, she would hide in the palace and lie low while looking for a suitable opportunity to control Zhu Houzhao.
As long as they can control Zhu Houzhao, given his status as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they might be able to make a comeback.
After listening to Ren Yingying's plan, Ren Woxing fell into deep thought, his expression constantly changing.
After a while.
"We will do as you say."
Ren Woxing nodded and looked at Ren Yingying.
"It's just that you, Yingying, have to submit to that little emperor."
Ren Yingying remained calm.
In truth, she would not do this unless absolutely necessary. Deep down, she had always hoped to find a perfect husband and live a life like that of a fairy tale couple, but she knew that was no longer possible.
"As long as Dad can make a comeback, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice my daughter's happiness."
Ren Yingying said calmly.
Liu Zhengfeng, who was outside listening to Ren Yingying's plan, was shocked. He subconsciously lost control of his breathing and put a little pressure on his feet, and the sound of leaves breaking was heard softly.
Although it is very light, it is clear enough at this moment.
Liu Zhengfeng's expression changed.
"who!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Ren Yingying's expression changed, and she shouted sharply.
The next second, Ren Yingying and Ren Woxing rushed out of the house.
Seeing that there was no one outside, Ren Yingying and Ren Woxing's faces darkened.
……
"Master."
Jiang Ning knocked on the door with a cup of tea in hand. Upon entering, he found Yue Buqun reviewing the records of Wuwei Prefecture over the past few days.
"Master, please have tea."
Yue Buqun sighed and said, "The people of Wuwei Prefecture have suffered too much."
During the time Ren Woxing controlled Wuwei Prefecture, the people of Wuwei Prefecture faced annihilation. Burning, killing, and looting became commonplace, and the people of Wuwei Prefecture lived in fear.
During this period, Ren Woxing still dreamed of overthrowing the imperial court and becoming emperor. He also restrained his followers and did not go too far, at least maintaining some order.
However, after Ren Woxing led tens of thousands of people in a great battle at the foot of Yinping Mountain, Zhao Xiangzhu and others who were left to defend the city went berserk and looted the entire Wuwei Prefecture. The evil deeds they committed were too numerous to count, which is what Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun saw when they entered the city.
Yue Buqun has been dealing with the aftermath of the events in Wuwei Prefecture for the past two days.
The prefect of Luzhou has replied. He has sent people on their way to Wuwei Prefecture to set up a temporary government office to keep things running.
The government offices of Wuwei Prefecture have been completely wiped out in a bloodbath.
Then the prefect of Luzhou submitted a memorial to the imperial court, and presumably the court will make arrangements soon.
Yue Buqun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually asked.
"Have you been able to track down Ren Woxing's whereabouts?"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
"I heard from the people in the city that many members of the Demonic Cult have left in the northwest direction. We are still sending people to search in the northwest, but there are no results yet."
"such a pity."
Yue Buqun sighed softly.
"We failed to kill Ren Woxing then, and now that he has escaped, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack to kill him later."
Jiang Ning's expression shifted slightly, and he asked, "Master, when you fought Ren Woxing, did you notice anything unusual about him?"
"good."
Yue Buqun nodded.
"I was just about to tell you this after I finished what I was doing, so that you can be more careful if you encounter Ren Woxing in the future."
Yue Buqun frowned and said, "When I fought Ren Woxing, Ren Woxing used the Star Absorbing Technique."
Yue Buqun described in detail the strangeness of Ren Woxing during their fight.
"A suction force suddenly appeared in his palm, which restrained me as well. If it weren't for Daoist Tianmen's attack from behind, which forced him to free one hand, I probably wouldn't have been able to get rid of that suction force in a short time."
Yue Buqun said solemnly, "Moreover, I also discovered that Ren Woxing's martial arts skills that day were much stronger than those on the Fengchan Platform. When I used all my strength, I was evenly matched with him."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique has advanced further."
"I think so too. Ren Woxing must have absorbed the internal energy of many masters during this period to make such great progress in his martial arts."
Yue Buqun nodded, but then added.
"But I noticed that something seemed wrong with his body."
"I noticed that his aura was unstable, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, and it also carried a violent undertone."
Jiang Ning thought about it and came to a conclusion.
"Ren Woxing's martial arts improved greatly after absorbing too much internal energy from many people in a short period of time, but this will inevitably have drawbacks. His body will not be able to withstand so much internal energy, which is why his breathing is unstable and his mind is probably a little unclear."
Jiang Ning was able to guess Ren Woxing's current state simply from Yue Buqun's description.
"However, his great improvement in martial arts skills is undeniable."
Yue Buqun frowned slightly: "You should be careful if you encounter him in the future. In the past, I thought that Ren Woxing needed physical contact to use the Star Absorbing Technique. Now his Star Absorbing Technique has become much stronger, and he can even control people from a distance and absorb their internal energy. Be careful."
"The disciple understands."
Jiang Ning nodded.
While the master and apprentice were talking, there was another knock on the door.
It's Mr. Mo Da who has arrived.
"Mr. Mo?"
Yue Buqun was surprised.
"It's so late, what brings you here, Mr. Mo?"
Mr. Mo looked serious.
"Alliance Leader, I have discovered the mark left by Liu Zhengfeng."
"what?"
Yue Buqun was taken aback.
Without delay, Master Mo said, "These past few days we have been searching around Wuwei Prefecture. Our Hengshan Sect disciples found our Hengshan Sect's mark in a forest. It must have been left by Liu Zhengfeng."
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning perked up.
"So, if we just follow the marks, we can find Ren Woxing's hiding place?"
Mr. Mo nodded.
“Since Liu Zhengfeng left a mark there, he must have left other marks along the way. As long as we can find other marks, we will surely find Ren Woxing.”
"Great!"
Yue Buqun couldn't help but exclaim with excitement.
"Brother Liu has really helped us a lot."
Mr. Mo remained silent at this moment.
He had originally planned to bring Liu Zhengfeng back, but unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng has come in very handy.
"Master Mo, we will have to rely on you and your disciples next."
Yue Buqun said.
Mr. Mo nodded.
"I have already sent my disciples to track the mark, and I expect to have results soon."
Chapter 732: Exposure
"That's good."
Yue Buqun nodded.
……
late at night.
Liu Zhengfeng sat at the table, writing rapidly on the paper with a pen. After finishing, he carefully checked the letter, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it in his pocket, then got up, blew out the oil lamp, and went outside.
He needed to leave under cover of night to find someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible.
The plan of Ren Woxing and his daughter is too crazy. If they succeed, it will be extremely troublesome for the Weiyi Alliance.
squeak~
Liu Zhengfeng opened the door, then froze on the spot.
"Cult...Cult Leader, Holy Maiden."
Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback when he saw Ren Woxing, Ren Yingying, Qu Yang, and the others standing outside, which surprised him greatly.
"Where is Elder Liu going so late?"
Ren Woxing remained expressionless and said coldly.
"Your subordinate... couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk."
Liu Zhengfeng had already realized something was wrong, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
"is it?"
Ren Woxing smiled sinisterly and glanced at Liu Zhengfeng's chest.
"Elder Liu, what are you hiding in your bosom? Why don't you take it out and let us have a look?"
"I have nothing hidden in my bosom."
Seeing Liu Zhengfeng still trying to argue, Ren Yingying, who was standing to the side, said coldly.
"Liu Zhengfeng, who are you going to deliver this letter to? Yue Buqun?"
Liu Zhengfeng's expression changed slightly, and the next second he did not hesitate. He pushed off with his feet and leaped into the air.
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was about to escape, Ren Woxing remained standing still, only raising his hand and reaching out towards Liu Zhengfeng.
Liu Zhengfeng, who was still in mid-air, suddenly felt an extremely strong suction force coming from behind him, making him lose control of his body.
"Oh no, it's the Star Absorbing Technique!"
Liu Zhengfeng sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to resist the powerful suction force, but it was to no avail. His body was pulled back by the suction force.
boom!
Liu Zhengfeng crashed down in front of Ren Woxing, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Ren Woxing looked down at him expressionlessly, and several people behind him immediately stepped forward to restrain Liu Zhengfeng.
Ren Woxing put his hands behind his back, took a step out and walked into the house, and Ren Yingying and the others followed.
Qu Yang glanced at Liu Zhengfeng as he passed by, but said nothing before going inside.
