The secret passage is not big, and there is a small secret room at the end.

There are a few figures in this simple place, including a gloomy shopkeeper Tang, two injured guards, and one... unconscious figure.

"Whizzing……!"

Sensing the sharp breaking sound of Ning Tao and the others, the two guards were startled and quickly drew their swords.

Shopkeeper Tang's face was also pale and ashen.

Or...has it been discovered?

"Go up, kill!"

The two guards looked at each other and reached a consensus.

Just when he was about to reveal his head, two big swords slashed down furiously, as majestic as a liger.

"Humph, get out of here!"

The shield protected the body and crashed directly into them.

With Ning Tao's current strength at the third level of Void Refining, he could withstand the fifth level monks on the surface.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the secret room trembled.

The two guards were pushed back a few steps by a huge force, and Ning Tao also drew his spear, preparing to furiously deal with the sneak attack on the two men without even looking around.

"No, stop it!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time.

One was the shopkeeper and the other was Meng Keer. They realized it was one of their own and quickly stopped them.

"Master Ning, it's me, you... you actually came back alive, unbelievable, unbelievable..." Shopkeeper Tang said with a face full of shock.

It seemed hard to believe seeing Ning Tao.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then took the opportunity to glance at the room and frowned: "Shopkeeper Tang, why are you here? What happened in Qingshi Town?"

"By the way, where is the acquaintance you mentioned...?"

The series of questions made Shopkeeper Tang smile bitterly, and he could only point to the bed in the corner.

Following his gaze, he immediately saw a familiar figure who was unconscious. Ning Tao's pupils shrank, but Meng Keer shouted in surprise: "Sister Shuang!"

Saying that, he rushed over quickly.

When he took a look at his hand, he saw that his eyebrows were furrowed. His pulse was in a mess, and there was a palm print on his chest. He felt familiar. This injury was terrible and tragic.

The clothes were torn and there were more than a dozen wounds.

It feels like she crawled out of a meat grinder.

However, it seems that he has taken the elixir and is still breathing, but he is immersed in a painful nightmare...

"What...what on earth is going on?" Meng Ke'er held back tears and said in a trembling tone.

Ning Tao's face was ferocious, and he clenched his hands tightly into his palms, with drops of blood flowing down his fingers.

"Tell me, everything, everything!"

Shopkeeper Tang took a deep breath, waved the two guards to retreat, and suddenly said seriously: "It's the Leopard Head Mercenary Group, and there is a helper that no one could have imagined!"

"Who?" Ning Tao said with red eyes.

"One of the three gates in the Southern Territory, the Seven... Jue... Gate!" Shopkeeper Tang was trembling a little when he said these words.

Not only did he not expect that, even the tens of thousands of people in Qingshi Town could not imagine that the aloof Qijue Sect would actually be connected with the Leopard Head Mercenary Group and would come thousands of miles to help him destroy Gambling Stone House.

This result surprised countless people.

"Seven... Qijuemen?"

Ning Tao's eyes widened with astonishment on his face.

How can this be?

They just came back from Qijuemen!

Even Meng Keer looked incredulous and questioned: "Shopkeeper Tang, are you kidding me? How could the Qijue Sect come to such a small place?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but after my investigation and undercover information, I finally found out the clues. It was Master Xu who went to Qijuemen overnight to move the reinforcements, just because he said a word..." Shopkeeper Tang had a complex expression.

"What?" the two asked hurriedly.

"He...he said...Ning Tao is here!"

"As a result, the Qi Jue Sect came directly with their men without saying a word. Just yesterday, the bad news came. A bastard who called himself "Qi Jue" led a group of strong men in a bloodbath and defeated the South Sect army."

"In that battle, there was almost no resistance," Shopkeeper Tang said with a bitter smile.

Qijue!

Ning Tao's pupils shrank, it was actually him.

He remembered that he didn't see him when he was at Qi Jue Sect. It should be that Master Xu had gone earlier than him. When he arrived, Qi Jue had already arrived in the town.

"When I saw that the situation was not going well, I dispersed a large number of people and closed the shop, while the Nanmen army defended Gambling Stone Square to the death and fought bloody battles, but in the end they were defeated."

"I died, I ran away, but in the end there was only one woman left to hold the enemy back," Shopkeeper Tang said, looking at Boss Shuang involuntarily.

The scene that day would never be forgotten for the rest of his life.

Also at dusk, in the flames of war, among corpses, and in a pool of blood, there stood a female war goddess who could not fall down. She held two swords and used her delicateness to block the group of wolf-like and tiger-like men.

Such devastation is heart-wrenching.

So he gave an order to save her. Although he paid a huge price, he did succeed.

Ning Tao can also imagine that painful scene, the tragic, miserable, desperate, and... helpless!

It feels like the whole world is dark.

His fault!

Everything is his fault!

First he harmed Wang Tao, and then his senior sister. Unexpectedly, hiding in this remote town also harmed thousands of Nanmen brothers who trusted and supported him!

"Ahhh...!"

"Boom boom boom...!"

Ning Tao roared in pain, hammering the ground, self-blame, guilt, anger, and hatred welling up in his heart.

"Qijue, Lu Yusong, I want you to die, I want you to die, this blood feud must be paid for with blood..."

Looking at the tortured Ning Tao, Meng Keer gritted her teeth and held back tears. Since she entered the world, this was the first time that she hated a person and power so heartlessly.

The master is right, there are no truly painful people in this world, only people who cannot face pain.

"Fang...Fangzhu..."

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded.

Ning Tao and everyone were startled and immediately turned to look at the bed. At some point, Boss Shuang woke up.

"Sister Shuang, it's me, I...I'm back..." Ning Tao grabbed her hand, his face filled with self-blame.

When Sister Shuang heard this, she burst into tears: "Master, I...we were defeated, Dahei was hacked to death, Ahu, Brother Tie, Xiaodian, and even the two old masters died.

In front of my eyes."

"I'm sorry for you. I failed to guard the gambling stone square and failed to protect the brothers in the south gate. The boss is also dead... They are all dead. I failed to save them..."

Ning Tao also cried when she heard this. He choked with sobs to calm her down and said with red eyes, "It's all my fault. I don't blame you. I will definitely get back this revenge."

Meng Keer also wiped away her tears and burst into murderous intent.

"Well, at that time everyone thought that if you went to Qijuemen, you would definitely be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and never come back, so no one believed that you could come back alive."

"Qi Jue's group destroyed the top management of Gambling Stone Square and left immediately without stopping."

"And now the remnants of the South Gate army are being hunted everywhere, as well as those who survived in Shifang, you bet, they are all members of the Leopard Head Mercenary Group. Now Yang Wei uses iron-blooded methods to kill anyone who dares to resist and disobey him. He wants to be the overlord.
