Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 175 - 80: Underwater Fierce Battle, Divine Skills of Flicking Fingers

By the Luoshui River.

"Elder Liu, I suspect this boy was just lying," Wang Jiu said, following behind Liu Qingsong until they were completely away from the residence where Jiang Ning was staying.

Hearing this, Liu Qingsong also stopped walking.

He stood on the bank of the Luoshui River, facing the direction of the lake breeze, and nodded.

"Wang Jiu, you have a good sense! This young man was indeed lying."

"How did you figure it out, Elder?" Wusheng, who hadn't said anything up until then, now spoke.

This person was also one of the only two Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm individuals from Medicine King Valley who came to capture Tian Buyi.

Liu Qingsong said, "Haven't you two noticed that after Jiang Ning appeared, his elder brother's family couldn't be traced anymore?"

"Elder, what do you mean by that?" Wusheng was taken aback, contemplating.

Compared to Wang Jiu, he was more prone to pondering; upon hearing Liu Qingsong's words, he immediately thought of a possibility.

"You guessed right!" Liu Qingsong turned his head to look at Wusheng, his fellow Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm junior, his face showing approval.

"Elder, Wusheng, what are you two talking about?" Wang Jiu suddenly looked confused.

Wusheng began, "There's something wrong with Jiang Ning. After he appeared, his elder brother's family completely vanished without any trace or noise."

"Isn't that quite normal?" Wang Jiu looked puzzled. "It's mealtime now, just like that boy said, they're preparing dinner, naturally, they wouldn't show up."

Wusheng countered, "Did you smell any cooking or smoke?"

"This..." Wang Jiu was momentarily startled.

Wusheng went on, "Having stepped into Eighth Grade Martial Arts, although we haven't specifically trained our senses, we have already far surpassed ordinary people. In such a small residence, if they were making dinner or there was normal activity, we would have noticed something unusual."

"I understand now!" Wang Jiu finally got it. "So, you're saying that boy is up to something. When he met with us just now, he had already secretly moved his family."

"Correct!" Liu Qingsong nodded slightly.

Then he added, "I also noticed another unusual thing just now; Jiang Ning has a strong smell of medicinal herbs lingering on him."

"That scent is unique to the pills from our Medicine King Valley."

"What do you mean by that, Elder???" Wang Jiu's eyes widened.

Liu Qingsong slowly nodded, "Although the scent lingering on him isn't unique to the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill, my intuition tells me that this boy has swallowed one!"

"He also took a Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill?" Wang Jin's eyes widened. "If that is so, why didn't the Elder capture him on the spot?"

"Three Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills, that makes just one left. If we delay, and the last pill is taken, our mission here will truly be a complete failure!!"

Liu Qingsong slowly shook his head, "Our visit today wasn't based on any secret information. If we had acted against him directly, it would inevitably lead to a conflict with Wang Jin."

"Wang Jin publicly accepted this boy as his Direct Disciple a few days ago."

"By blatantly acting against this boy now, I would be directly stepping on Wang Jin's face."

"Elder, why bolster someone else's morale while diminishing our own prestige!" Wang Jiu spoke, "Although Wang Jin is also a Martial Arts Seventh Grade, he has aged and declined physically. Elder, you are at your peak, why fear him?"

Liu Qingsong shook his head, "You know too little about Wang Jin. He was already famous when you had just started learning Martial Arts. He is not an ordinary Martial Arts Seventh Grade! Even if I do not fear him, it isn't suitable to directly conflict with him, especially considering the Master of the Royal Capital, his own brother!"

Liu Qingsong continued, "Moreover, that boy is not only backed by Wang Jin but previously Building Owner Shen also highly valued him, and now Master Lin also clearly treats him differently!"

"We are after all outsiders; we shouldn't act too rashly."

Hearing this, Wang Jiu said, "So, Elder, are you suggesting we let that boy go?"

"How could that be possible?" Liu Qingsong glanced at him, "We will first withdraw, return to the inn, and you two will join me at noon for a visit."

"Understood, Elder!" Wang Jiu nodded immediately.

Wusheng also nodded continually, "Yes, Elder."

At that moment, elsewhere.

Jiang Ning had already been hiding in the water.

With his enhanced senses, especially after entering the water, the conversation of Liu Qingsong and the others clearly reached his ears.

"As expected, Liu Qingsong had noticed something unusual just now!"

"Thankfully, I secretly followed them!"

"Otherwise, losing the initiative and them sneaking up tonight would have caused trouble!"

At that moment, Jiang Ning was immensely relieved inside.

He didn't know the real strength of a Martial Arts Seventh Grade.

But from the performances of Wang Jin and Cao Rong on that day, Seventh Grade at its peak was extremely terrifying.

Even with all his tricks, he wasn't confident he could overcome Cao Rong at that time.

Especially the distanced version of Cao Rong.

So, if he lost the initiative and was found by Liu Qingsong, a seasoned Seventh Grade expert, Jiang Ning had no confidence in overcoming him when all tricks were exhausted,

Not to mention he would be constrained by others then.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning rapidly decided to strike first.

Suddenly,

The lake water in front of Liu Qingsong and the other two exploded, throwing up waves several feet high.

"What happened?" Liu Qingsong was stunned.

He saw the roaring water instantly sweep up his companions Wang Jiu and Wusheng into the lake.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe the scene before him.
