Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 152: Wind and Thunder God Arrow! Long Whale Inhales Water!_3

A cold voice rang out, making Su Changkong feel somewhat familiar; he turned in astonishment toward the graceful figure that emerged from behind a rockery.

“Second Miss?” Su Changkong looked at the figure before him with surprise.

A stunning face, modest attire, majestic eyebrows like stars, and an imposing aura—it was Sikong Huang!

On Sikong Huang’s back was a large bow made of some unknown material, its surface carved with ocean blue wave patterns, as if the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were all etched onto it.

Without a doubt, the one who had secretly shot and wounded Qi Chenghong with an arrow was Sikong Huang!

Sikong Huang looked at Su Changkong with complicated eyes. Even though Su Changkong had altered his appearance, from the previous fight between Su Changkong and Qi Chenghong, she knew that he was the alchemist Su Changkong with whom she had several encounters.

Su Changkong, this inconspicuous young alchemist in the Giant Whale Gang, had hidden so deep? He had chopped down Li Lie and killed Qi Chenghong, his strength within the Giant Whale Gang was formidable, with less than ten individuals able to defeat him!

“Cough cough… Thank you for your timely assistance just now, Second Miss.”

Su Changkong coughed as he expressed his gratitude. Although he did not know why she happened to be there, had it not been for her intervention, by now Su Changkong might have perished alongside Qi Chenghong.

“It’s nothing, consider it a repayment for the effort you put into concocting the Condensing Spirit Protecting Heart Pill for me last time,” said Sikong Huang with a shake of her head.

Su Changkong sighed with relief, knowing that she indeed had no ill intentions; he stood up, supporting his weak body, and said to Sikong Huang, “Second Miss, let’s go inside to talk.”

“Mhm.”

Sikong Huang acknowledged and glanced around, aware that this estate was where Su Changkong had lived before joining the Giant Whale Gang.

Meanwhile, Sikong Huang couldn’t help but be astonished by Su Changkong’s background. To possess such exquisite alchemy skills was one thing, but his Martial Arts cultivation had also reached the Qi-Blood Realm, and he could even fight to a standstill with an expert such as Qi Chenghong. His identity and background could not be as simple as they appeared on the surface! But why had he joined the Giant Whale Gang?

Sikong Huang followed Su Changkong into the estate’s living room. It had been over half a year since he last returned, and there was some dust inside. Sikong Huang didn’t mind; she casually wiped away the dust and sat down.

“Second Miss, why are you here?” Su Changkong couldn’t help but ask. At the same time, he was puzzled. He had changed his appearance, his clothing, and entered a large city like Ink Forest Prefecture City, which could have a population in the millions. Reasonably, even with tremendous abilities, neither Sikong Huang nor Qi Chenghong should have been able to find him so quickly!

“I received news that you left the Giant Whale Gang. Not long after, Qi Chenghong also left. Qi Chenghong is Meng Sang’s man, and I wondered if you possibly offended him when you helped me with alchemy last time, so I followed to check on you.”

Sikong Huang answered Su Changkong’s question.

“I see!” Su Changkong came to a realization.

Sikong Huang was not a naïve miss who knew nothing of worldly affairs. Following her elder brother to suppress sea pirates, she had experienced many struggles and was aware of Meng Sang’s vengeful nature.

When she sought out Su Changkong to help with the secret alchemy, keeping the information hidden was meant to prevent Meng Sang from interfering. After the pills were successfully created, she also slightly worried whether Meng Sang might cause trouble for Su Changkong; especially since Sikong Huang was aware of the suspicious circumstances concerning Gong Zheng’s death, she kept an eye on Su Changkong as well.

Today, when Su Changkong left the Giant Whale Gang and killed Li Lie, even though the news hadn’t spread, Meng Sang met with Qi Chenghong right after. Qi Chenghong then left soon after; receiving the news, Sikong Huang suspected there was a connection between the two events, so she personally tracked Qi Chenghong in secret all the way to Ink Forest Prefecture City.

She then witnessed the fight between Su Changkong and Qi Chenghong; in a short span, the two fought viciously, aiming to kill each other. Unable to stop them, she ultimately decided to help Su Changkong!

For one thing, Qi Chenghong was Meng Sang’s man and known to be unruly and uncontrollable, having deliberately injured fellow disciples; and because of his great strength, he was just stripped of his Hall Master title without severe punishment. Secondly, the reason Su Changkong encountered such difficulty was because he had helped her with alchemy; consequently, Qi Chenghong died, and Su Changkong lived!

Listening, Su Changkong also felt surprised; he had underestimated this Second Miss.

During the time when he was refining pills, Sikong Huang probably also had her guard up against him. If he truly had poisoned the Pill Medicine, Sikong Huang would likely have conducted a meticulous inspection after the pill was created and would have discovered any issues with the pill. At that time, Su Changkong did not believe Meng Sang would truly protect him!

Looking at it this way, his decision at that time was half right.

“How did Qi Chenghong manage to find me? I clearly changed my appearance.” Su Changkong also asked another puzzling question. He had to clear this up to avoid similar situations in the future.

After a moment of thought, Sikong Huang said, “They must have used a Fragrance-recognition Bug. There’s a special fragrance that only the Fragrance-recognition Bug can detect. You’ve been tainted with this fragrance, and with Meng Sang’s help, using the Fragrance-recognition Bug to trace it, what use is changing your appearance?”

“Is that so…” Su Changkong sniffed himself but didn’t smell anything unusual while also understanding the reason.

To deal with Su Changkong, Meng Sang, wanting to prevent him from escaping without a trace, had someone smear a tracking fragrance on Su Changkong or his belongings one or two days earlier.

Having spent most of his days in the Pill Refining Room, it would have been easy for Meng Sang to let someone sneak into his room and apply the fragrance onto his clothes or belongings.

That Qi Chenghong was able to find him was because he had released the Fragrance-recognition Bug to follow the scent; Su Changkong recalled seeing that strange insect in the tavern!

Indeed, the martial world is perilous, with endless cunning stratagems lurking at every turn, inadvertently leading one into traps!

“I need to wash thoroughly later and clean all my belongings!”

Su Changkong felt a chill in his heart; he nearly lost his life because of this.

“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Sikong Huang did not dwell further on the matter, her bright eyes intently fixed on Su Changkong, “The technique you used to heal just now, was that the Giant Whale Skill?”
