Chapter 994: A stray dog
Duan Qing's face changed slightly, as if he realized Dugu Qiuyu's real purpose.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he tried to ask: "Do you want the transformation technique in Duan's hand?"
Dugu Qiuyu didn't say anything, his eyes were even more fiery, and he obviously agreed with Duan Qing's statement.
Yes, he did want Duan Qing's transformation technique.
Since he failed to snatch the True Dragon Fruit for Wu Xingyun in the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm, his already fragile master-disciple relationship with Wu Xingyun was directly broken.
Without Wu Xingyun's protection, he became a dog without a home.
Over the years, he has made many enemies with people on Tianming Star. Without Wu Xingyun's protection, he can hardly move forward on Tianming Star.
Whether it is because of Mu Yu or because of the Broken Star Palace that will be opened in ten years, he cannot leave Tianming Star.
If he wants to continue to stay on Tianming Star, he urgently needs to find the next protector.
After thinking about it, Xing Wuji, who had just escaped from the Endless Sea and was also a true spirit, became his primary target.
When Xing Wuji was detained in the Endless Sea, Xing Wuji had praised the waste stones in Youzhou, and his words seemed to imply that he would go to Youzhou to get waste stones after escaping.
In view of this, in order to find Xing Wuji, he rushed to Youzhou Taihuang Sect as soon as he returned to the Middle Earth to inquire about Xing Wuji's whereabouts.
Hard work pays off. He did find out Xing Wuji's whereabouts and confirmed that Xing Wuji had robbed waste stones in Jiye City and Taihuang Sect and was hunted down by Taihuang Sect.
At the same time, he also heard another piece of information.
A person who practiced the Suzaku Transformation Technique killed Baili Guanri of Taisheng Sect and was rewarded by Taisheng Sect.
Based on the description of the murderer in the arrest warrant issued by Taisheng Sect, he easily judged that the person who killed Baili Guanri was Duan Qing.
After all, he had also stayed in the Shinto Sect, and knew that there were very few people who practiced the Suzaku Transformation Technique in the Shinto Sect, and he had fought with Duan Qing before.
He didn't take the arrest warrant issued by Taisheng Sect seriously.
Although he and Duan Qing had a grudge, he didn't have time to care about Duan Qing at that time.
Until he saw Duan Qing in person in Jieye City.
Duan Qing's appearance at that time was not his original appearance. He could recognize Duan Qing purely based on the smell of Duan Qing.
This is his talent. Once a person's smell is remembered by him, he can't hide in front of him.
Back in the Xianlong Secret Realm, he relied on the smell to follow Duan Qing steadily and didn't get rid of him.
Duan Qing's method of transforming into other people completely shocked him!
Even if he recognized Duan Qing by smell, he couldn't find any flaws in Duan Qing by other means.
If he hadn't heard about the arrest warrant issued by Taisheng Sect first and knew that Duan Qing came to Youzhou, he couldn't be sure of his judgment.
Such a brilliant method of transformation couldn't help but make him have evil thoughts.
If he could obtain Duan Qing's transformation method and transform into another person, he could completely change his identity and move around Tianming Star without worrying about his enemies.
He even had a crazy idea in his mind.
If he confirmed that this method could conceal the great power that was far superior to him, then he might be able to use this method to transform into Duan Qing's appearance and return to Qingfengjian, to the person he missed day and night.
Ever since he boldly expressed his feelings and was driven out of Qingfengjian by Mu Yu, he wanted to go back all the time and regretted that he was too reckless at the time.
The transformation method that Duan Qing possessed at the moment was undoubtedly an opportunity for him to realize this dream.
Of course, if he wanted to borrow Duan Qing's identity and return to Mu Yu, Duan Qing, the real owner, would naturally disappear from the world first.
So, he decisively gave up his original idea of looking for Xing Wu Wu Ji and letting Xing Wu Ji protect him, and instead set his sights on Duan Qing.
Just when he was looking for an opportunity to attack Duan Qing, he never expected that Duan Qing would be so bold as to sneak into the primitive wasteland.
This time, he was in a dilemma.
He didn't dare to take the big risk and follow Duan Qing into the primitive wasteland. As a last resort, he had to turn to Duan Qing's two companions.
Coincidentally, the two little ghosts wanted to return to Taisheng Sect, but he was caught by him and took away the jade slip left by one of the little ghosts for Duan Qing.
He originally planned to catch the two little ghosts, and after Duan Qing came out of the primitive wasteland, he would use the two little ghosts as bait to kill Duan Qing and seize the transformation method.
But unexpectedly, after Duan Qing left the primitive wasteland, he was captured by Xing Wuji again.
He asked himself that he didn't have the ability to snatch people from Xing Wuji, let alone catch up with Xing Wuji.
There was no way, he could only hope that Duan Qing would not die inexplicably while waiting for Duan Qing to show up.
Finally, he finally waited for Duan Qing to show up, but found that Duan Qing seemed to be still involved with Xing Wuji.
Helplessly, he simply took advantage of the situation, put the collected jade slip back to its original place, and took the two little ghosts south in advance.
In this way, Duan Qing would definitely head south to Taisheng Sect after seeing the jade slip.
Duan Qing's southward route was the way back to Shendao Sect, and he didn't believe Xing Wuji would still be with Duan Qing.
He expected that when Duan Qing chased to the vicinity of Taishang Sect and still didn't find the two little ghosts, he would definitely suspect that he had surpassed the two little ghosts and stayed in Taishang Sect.
So he chose Taishang Sect as the place to attack Duan Qing.
For the sake of caution, in order to test whether Xing Wuji was still following Duan Qing, he went to several small forces near Taishang Sect and revealed that Duan Qing was rewarded by Taisheng Sect.
In the end, the Yan family of Heishui City hit it off with him and was willing to take action.
Things went smoothly afterwards, and Duan Qing was successfully lured into the trap by the Yan family.
After previous observations, he was basically sure that Duan Qing came alone, and no one else followed him.
So he couldn't help it anymore and jumped out to silence Yan Jin.
Now, Duan Qing was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and it would be impossible for him to escape from his palm.
When he thought about killing Duan Qing and getting Duan Qing's transformation method, he might be able to return to Qingfengjian as Duan Qing and always be with Mu Yu, and he couldn't suppress the excitement and enthusiasm in his heart.
For this day, he has waited too long!
"Boy, hand over your transformation method, and I can spare the two little ghosts!" Dugu Qiuyu said directly.
Duan Qing frowned and didn't speak for a while.
Knowing that Dugu Qiuyu's target was his transformation technique, plus Dugu Qiuyu's reaction every time he mentioned Mu Yu, he basically guessed Dugu Qiuyu's ultimate goal.
He knew very well that once Dugu Qiuyu got the transformation technique, he might really let Sheng'er and He Qiliao go, but there was no possibility of letting him go.
He couldn't let him surrender and be slaughtered!
But if he didn't do it, Sheng'er and He Qiliao might...!
After a moment of hesitation, Duan Qing took out a jade slip from the storage bracelet and shook it in his hand.
"This is the method of transformation."
As soon as the voice fell, Duan Qing exerted force on his hand.
With a click, the jade slip of transformation was immediately crushed by Duan Qing.
"You...!" Dugu Qiuyu was furious when he saw Duan Qing destroy the jade slip of transformation, and glared at Duan Qing.
Duan Qing grinned: "I'm not afraid to tell you that this transformation technique was obtained by Duan from Lu Gong, the elder of Tiangong Sect. He once used this technique to pretend to be Xuanjizi and deceived a group of powerful people including my master Mu Yu."
At this point, Duan Qing obviously noticed that Dugu Qiuyu's eyes flashed with eagerness and greed.
He calmed down a bit and continued, "After Lu Gong died, this transformation technique fell into Duan's hands by chance."
"I don't know if Tiangong Sect has any backups, but I only have this one!"
"The jade slip is destroyed now. If you want this transformation technique, let my two companions go first!"
"Or, you can take a gamble and try your luck in Tiangong Sect."
