The Ace Bodyguard

As for tonight's movements, he had to observe the route ahead of time, so as to not make any mistakes in the crucial moments. After careful observation, Wang Xiao had already determined the route of action, hoping that tonight's actions would allow him to find the Qianqiu Sect's Spiritual Spring.    

    

Those dozens of newly joined members were cultivating in the courtyard. They all wanted to become experts as soon as possible so that they could enter the core circle of the Qianqiu Sect.    

    

Perhaps it was because they had just joined the Qianqiu Sect, but because these people were very excited, they started to train very hard. If time went on for too long, they would probably lose their willpower, and if they did not have the willpower, they would lose the motivation to cultivate. When Wang Xiao came to the courtyard, all of these people glared at him with their eyes wide open. They did not like him, because everyone felt that Wang Xiao was not from the same group as them, but because he was different, no one wanted to interact with him.    

    

With regards to the gazes of these people, Wang Xiao did not care at all. In any case, he did not belong to the same group as these people, and he had never thought of befriending them, becoming good friends with them.    

    

Mo Ke came over at this time, requesting everyone to go back and rest. Everyone would wake up tomorrow and return to their own rooms. Deep into the night, Wang Xiao activated his Mental Power and observed the building's movements. His Mental Power penetrated through every inch and entered every man's room, and when he saw that all the men were sleeping soundly like dead pigs, Wang Xiao immediately got out of bed.    

    

He wanted to jump out of the window, but there was an iron net, so he had to go through the gate. Although it was already dark, the Qianqiu Sect headquarters was still brightly lit, causing Wang Xiao to have some difficulty moving about.    

    

If he wanted to move more smoothly, he would have to destroy the opponent's circuit. Once the circuit was destroyed, the Qianqiu Sect would certainly fall into darkness within a few minutes, making it more convenient for him to move. But this plan was also very dangerous. If he really did this, the people from the Qianqiu Sect would immediately think of as a traitor, etc., and they would definitely immediately search the room, making it easier for their identities to be revealed. This was because Wang Xiao wasn't confident that he would be able to complete the plan within a few minutes.    

    

After looking around and realizing that there was no one around, Wang Xiao quickly passed through the courtyard. Along the way, he only dared to walk amongst the flowers and grass, using them as cover, as it was more convenient for him to move. Even at night, there were still quite a few experts patrolling. These people held weapons in their hands, or if they were empty-handed, they formed groups of three to five, constantly shuttling through the many palaces and Ancient Tower s.    

    

However, these patrolling experts were extremely quiet. From start to finish, they did not utter a single word. Even the sound of their footsteps was very soft. It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the rest's rest.    

    

Wang Xiao kept on getting closer to the abandoned courtyard, he carefully walked as though he was walking on thin ice, the closer he got to the abandoned courtyard, the more he felt his spirit energy was changing, as though it was a little more abundant. Although it was not obvious, Wang Xiao still felt it.    

    

Dozens of meters ahead was the abandoned courtyard. Previously, Wang Xiao had heard from Mo Ke that there was a rule governing Qianqiu Sect, and that no one was allowed to enter the abandoned courtyard. Since it was just a abandoned courtyard, there must be a reason why no one was allowed to enter.    

    

However, more than ten meters in front of them, there were two experts standing guard. These two experts were not close to the yard, they were still more than thirty meters away from it. Perhaps those two didn't even know what was inside the yard.    

    

Wang Xiao planned to take a detour, since there were two experts guarding this direction, he would take a detour. Only, when he went to another direction, Wang Xiao was also disappointed, because there were other experts standing guard here.    

    

Looking at the four directions, he saw that there were experts guarding them, even if they continued to take a detour, it would be useless. Moreover, Wang Xiao did not want to take a detour, because if he continued to take the detour, he would have to spend even more time doing so.    

    

He had sneaked out, so he couldn't be delayed for too long. It was very easy for others to find him. With these experts standing guard, he would not be able to enter the abandoned yard.    

    

From the distance where these people were guarding, to the location of the abandoned courtyard, there were no trees, weeds, nor any buildings. If one rashly went there, they would definitely be discovered, unless the two experts were blind.    

    

Wang Xiao racked his brains on how to enter the abandoned courtyard without anyone noticing. This was indeed tricky, and as he looked around, he could see the lights in the distance.    

    

If he destroyed the lamp, with the protection of the night, he could smoothly enter the abandoned courtyard, but he could not blatantly destroy the lamp. Such a foolish method, Wang Xiao would not do it, if he moved, it would be to not do it.    

    

Got it!    

    

Wang Xiao suddenly thought of an idea. His Genuine Qi moved, and the powerful Genuine Qi turned into a gust of wind, quickly blowing away.    

    

Hu hu hu hu!    

    

As the strong wind blew, the trees behind him began to pull. The two guards looked around and one of them said, "This wind is really strong."    

    

"That's right, there's a sudden gust of wind." Another man also said.    

    

Bang!    

    

Wang Xiao shot a rock out and hit the light bulb. After that, the glass lamp shattered and turned dark.    

    

"F * ck, what bad luck." An expert complained.    

    

Another expert also said, "This is really bad luck. It was just a gust of wind. It actually blew over a small stone and shattered the glass lamp."    

    

"Forget it, it's better not to complain. I'll be keeping watch here. Hurry up and find a glass lamp to change, don't let anything go wrong. If anything goes wrong, you and I definitely won't be able to keep our heads." The first expert said.    

    

"Alright, wait for me here. I'll be back soon." The expert turned around and left.    

    

Taking advantage of the dark night, Wang Xiao's figure flashed, and quickly flew out. The man's eyes had not adapted to it yet, so he did not see Wang Xiao. In a situation where there was sufficient light, if he were to suddenly fall into the darkness, it would be difficult for his eyes to adapt within twenty or thirty seconds. Only after a few seconds could his eyes gradually adapt to the sudden darkness.    

    

But by the time the expert had adapted, Wang Xiao was already in the abandoned courtyard. Although the walls of the courtyard were high, to Wang Xiao who used Qi Master Stage, all these protective measures were useless.    

    

Just as Wang Xiao was about to land, he realized that in the abandoned courtyard, there were countless bells, all of which were connected with steel wire. As long as someone entered the courtyard and touched these bells, they would make a sound.    

    

It was truly dangerous, luckily he had discovered it in time, if he had not discovered it just now, if he had carelessly touched these bells, he would have made a sound, and those experts of Qianqiu Sect would have immediately appeared. Xiao stood in a deserted place and did not dare to act rashly. In the courtyard of a few hundred square meters, the steel wire that was connected to the bell was like a spider web, crisscrossing and densely packed.    

    

If he were to walk in the courtyard, no matter how careful he was, he would make mistakes. As for walking in the air, Wang Xiao didn't have the ability to do so yet. Although he could fly now, he could not walk slowly in the air. There was a difference between flying quickly in the air and walking slowly in the air. The latter was more difficult, because walking slowly in the air required one to have complete control of the Genuine Qi.    

    

Standing in place, Wang Xiao didn't dare to casually walk around. Within these few hundred square meters of courtyard, there was nothing. There were weeds everywhere as if no one had lived here for decades.    

    

If he did not hear that news, Wang Xiao would have thought that this was a truly abandoned village, and that it was completely useless. But when he thought of the Spiritual Spring, the forbidden grounds, and how the courtyard was crisscrossed like a bell that was spread out like a gigantic spider web, he knew that this courtyard was definitely not simple.    

    

After observing for a long time, Wang Xiao still could not find anything special about it. In the courtyard, aside from the weeds, there were also dense and densely packed weeds that had been laid on layer after layer.    

    

There were even countless bells hidden amongst the wild grass. His Mental Power also observed that within the weeds were countless arrows, these arrows were green and the poison was very strong, if it was hit, it would definitely die. Perhaps as long as one accidentally touched the steel wire, not only would the bell make a sound, but it would also release thousands of arrows at the same time. This kind of protective measure, although seemingly very old-fashioned, was more practical and more confidential than many modern equipment.    

    

Although he did not find anything abnormal in the courtyard, Wang Xiao still did not give up. He was convinced that there was something extremely important in the courtyard, if not, the Qianqiu Sect would not have spent so much effort to arrange so many traps. Wang Xiao didn't believe that as long as he carefully searched inch by inch, without discovering a single thing, as long as there were Spiritual Spring s in the courtyard, he would be able to find some clues.    

    

Using the Mental Power s to observe carefully, Wang Xiao discovered that the weeds in the center of the courtyard were extremely lush, and were even more lush than those in other places. Maybe this is where the Spiritual Spring are located, that's why the weeds are so lush, Wang Xiao thought.    

    

This courtyard, which was a few hundred square meters, was coincidentally constructed at the foot of a mountain. Behind it was a mountain that reached into the clouds, and when Wang Xiao's Mental Power, like a spirit serpent, slowly approached the lush weeds, he immediately felt an abundance of spirit energy.    

    

No!    

    

This was not spirit energy, but earth energy, spirit energy. It was a type of essence energy that was created when the heavens and earth blended together, and earth energy was just an aura that was formed by the earth vein, similar to an oil field. Although Earth Qi did not contain Genuine Qi's spirit energy, it still had its uses for cultivators.    

    

That grandson, Yin Tianzheng, had actually treated Earth Qi as spiritual energy. Although Wang Xiao was a little disappointed, this discovery had pleasantly surprised him. In this era, earth energy was also extremely rare. Even for Mount Kunlun, Shaolin was one of the few famous mountains such as the Shaoshang Mountains. It was also very difficult to find earth energy.    

    

He never thought that the Qianqiu Sect would have such great luck, to actually occupy one of the Earth Vein Qi. But even if it did occupy one of the Earth Vein Qi, the Qianqiu Sect was still not strong enough. Although the sect had numerous experts, countless Innate Stage Expert s, and a few Qi Master Stage Expert s, compared to the Earth Vein Qi that dominated the mountains and rivers, the development of the Qianqiu Sect was still slow.    

    

If Divine Monarch Sect also had such good geographical conditions, as long as he was given twenty years of time, Wang Xiao could guarantee that the experts in the sects would definitely be many times more than those with Qianqiu Sect by leaps and bounds. Initially, Wang Xiao wanted to go over to have a look, but he was worried that something bad would happen, so he decided to leave.    

    

Moreover, he had tried to destroy the light earlier, so it should be repaired. If he were to delay it for some time, once the light was repaired, it would be difficult to leave without anyone noticing. After leaping up, Wang Xiao quickly flew out of the abandoned courtyard.
