Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Not long after Jiang Ning left, Ling Chuge also came in.

But he is not as familiar with the Qin family's route as Jiang Ning.

As soon as he landed, Jiang Ning was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Chuge looked at the surrounding environment suspiciously, trying to find traces of Jiang Ning.

"Who is it?" A passing maid heard the noise and immediately approached Ling Chuge.

Ling Chuge looked around and dived directly into a bush.

"Did you hear it correctly?" said the maid who was accompanying him.

The two glanced at the place where Ling Chuge had just stayed. After confirming that no one was there, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"So I was so tired that I started hallucinating."

"This is the Qin family, no one dares to break in."

When the two maids walked away, Ling Chuge's head popped out of the grass.

"When did Jiang Ning get in touch with the Qin family?"

Ling Chuge murmured.

On alert, Ling Chuge sneaked into Qin's house cautiously.

On the other side, Jiang Ning, who was familiar with the terrain, had successfully avoided all the patrolling guards and approached the back mountain.

The mountain behind the Qin family is very large, and there is only one road up the mountain, leading to the Qin family's forbidden area at the top of the mountain.Now Jiang Ning is not sure whether Qin Wenyu is on the top of the mountain or in the mountain.

The mountain behind the Qin family is a place specially used by the Qin family to keep spirit beasts in captivity. Only the forbidden area at the top of the mountain can be considered a safe place. However, there are rumors that no other spirit beasts have set foot in the forbidden area at the top of the mountain because a foodie is imprisoned there. Evil beast of man!

The reason why it is said to be a rumor is that no one has set foot in the forbidden area on the top of the mountain for hundreds of years. The Qin family themselves are not sure whether the rumored evil beast actually exists.

Hiding in a tree and watching a group of patrolling guards pass by, Jiang Ning fell from the tree, knocked the last one unconscious and dragged him into the grass.

When the knocked unconscious guard woke up, he only felt darkness in front of him.

"Uh! Uh...uh!" The guard tried to make a sound, but suddenly, there was a cold touch on his neck.

Jiang Ning lowered his voice, "Don't say anything. If I ask anything, just answer it honestly. Otherwise..."

The force on his neck suddenly increased, and in an instant, the guard's heart was in his throat, and he nodded quickly.

"Where is your young lady, Qin Wenyu?" Jiang Ning asked while loosening the cloth on the guard's mouth.

"I...I don't know. I am only responsible for guarding the back mountain. How could I know the whereabouts of the young lady." The guard replied tremblingly.

"Then who from the Qin family came to the back mountain today?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"Just, only the eldest young master has been here."

"What did he bring when he came?"

"I don't know about this. When the young master came, a group of people stayed on the mountain for about an hour. After praying and offering incense, a group of people left together."

[Is Qin Wenyu among the people who came?With so many people, it's not surprising that the guards would miss one or two. 】

'Why did Qin Yangqiu take Qin Wenyu up the mountain?Or it could be said that Qin Wenyu followed him up the mountain and sent someone to send him a letter for help afterwards. '

[Jiang Ning, I think this is probably a trap. 】

'Whether it's a trap or not, at least you have to confirm it with your own eyes. '

After knocking the guard unconscious again, Jiang Ning stepped on the branches and set off to the top of the mountain.

In order not to encounter the spiritual beasts raised by the Qin family in the back mountains, Jiang Ning could not stray too far from the mountain road.

He walked through the bushes several times, almost attracting the attention of the Qin family's patrolling guards.

After finally reaching the top of the mountain, Jiang Ning discovered that there was a circle of guards outside the forbidden area.

The top of the mountain is a flat land. In the middle of the flat land stands a seven-story black tower. Directly in front of the black tower is a huge altar.This is the forbidden area of ​​the Qin family.

The guards here are obviously much stronger than the guards on the mountain road just now.

Just as Jiang Ning was thinking about how to lure these guards away, a figure flashing quickly in the trees opposite suddenly caught Jiang Ning's attention.

Jiang Ning hid in the tree and saw the man wearing a pure white mask and a sword made of condensed spiritual power in his hand. He rushed through the guards' defense line with lightning speed and headed straight towards the tall tower in the middle.

"who?"

"stop!"

The guards reacted immediately and chased after the figure.

Jiang Ning was watching the situation from the tree, preparing to find an opportunity to sneak in during the chaos.

Under the interception of the powerful guards in the spiritual realm, the man with the white face did not panic at all and turned around to fight with the guards.

During the fight between the two sides, Jiang Ning discovered that the man with the white face was also at the spiritual level.

If we want to talk about the difference, it is that the strength of the masked man is one or two levels higher than that of the guards.

The masked man's strength is on the third level of the spiritual world, while the guards are only on the second level of the spiritual world, and most of them are still on the first level.

The difference in strength between the two levels meant that the guards could not catch up with the masked man even though they tried their best to capture him.

Soon, all the guards outside the forbidden area were knocked unconscious by the masked men.

After taking care of all the guards, the masked man snorted disdainfully and walked straight towards the black tower.

However, the moment the masked man approached the black tower, a golden light suddenly lit up outside the black tower, forming a barrier to keep the masked man outside.

Facing the solid barrier, the masked man did not force his way through, but squatted by the barrier to observe.

Jiang Ning hid in the tree and quietly observed every move of the masked man.

She recognized this formation. It was an ancient formation that had been restored. To open this formation, at least two people needed to work together. The more people there were, the faster it would open.

"Friend, have you seen enough? If you have seen enough, come down and help." The masked man suddenly spoke.

All the guards present were stunned. It was obvious to whom these words were addressed.

Jiang Ning was not surprised that the masked man discovered his existence.

Jiang Ning took out a cloak from his storage bag, put a hood on his body, and jumped down from the tree.

After spinning and landing steadily, Jiang Ning looked at the masked man and said, "What is your purpose? I don't do murder and arson."

"Don't worry, friend, I'm just a treasure hunter. You help me open the barrier, and I'll take the treasure and leave." The masked man said.

His strength was clearly a whole level higher than Jiang Ning's, but there was no contempt in his tone.

"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed to the masked man's suggestion.

"Do you know how to activate the formation?" the masked man asked kindly.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged in front of the formation, formed a seal with his hands, and input spiritual power into the formation.

Seeing this, the masked man stopped talking and sat in front of the formation in the same posture as Jiang Ning.

As the two people moved at the same time, the originally golden barrier gradually dimmed.

Since there were only two people, it took a lot of time to dismantle the formation.

The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the formation, and it was not until dark that the formation gradually dissipated.

The formation was broken, and both of them let out a breath of turbidity.

"Friend, take a step first." The masked man greeted Jiang Ning, and in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared from the place and rushed into the black tower.
