There was nothing serious about Zhou Wangchao, it was just that the treasure was burnt due to excessive use, and then burned through his specially made vest, burning his back red.

He was still jumping around a lot, whining and whining.

Opposite him, Chu Yunqing crossed his arms and looked unkind.

Even the slow-moving Hua Wuqi realized at this time that this senior was just pretending to deceive Chu Yunqing.

As expected of Lao Jianghu, he was just bad. Hua Wuqi stopped helping him and held his chest aside, coughing occasionally.

"Brother Chu, don't get me wrong. This old man is probably having a comeback." Zhou Wangchao had a serious face, but he couldn't help but feel a little lucky after escaping the disaster.

Chu Yunqing didn't bother to argue with this guy. He finally understood that this old boy was just a bastard.

So, after snorting coldly, he walked towards the man in gray robe under the tree.

This man was lying on the ground, his hat had been knocked off, his bun was a little messy, and his breath was weak, like a candlelight in the wind.

Chu Yunqing was still a little wary. He held the golden light in his hand and grabbed it forward. The man in gray robe was turned over by him.

And when he saw the other party's face, even though he was determined, he couldn't help but be startled, and even more shocked.

There is no nose and mouth, and the entire face is like a flesh-colored board, more like it has been neatly glued. There are only two empty eyes, but at this time, the other person's eyes are half closed, and the vision is somewhat unclear.

This is a faceless person!

Chu Yunqing was shocked. He had never seen this kind of people before, but he immediately realized that they might be wearing human skin masks and deliberately concealing them.

Once I figured it out, I wasn't that surprised.

However, anyone who faces such a person will inevitably be afraid, because it is really scary.

On the other side, Zhou Wangchao and Hua Wuqi were also walking towards this side.

Chu Yunqing thought for a moment, then the golden light clung to his palms, and then he tried to tear off the human skin mask of the man in gray robe, hoping to see his true appearance.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from behind him.

"Don't move!" Zhou Wangchao shouted, his tone urgent and horrified.

But he still shouted slowly. Chu Yunqing had already touched the gray-robed man's neck, and then tried to tear it apart. Zhou Wangchao's sudden shout made him subconsciously put a little more force on his fingers.

It's not like touching ordinary people's skin. Instead, it feels soft, like aspic, but it's wrapped in skin, which is enough to make people feel sick.

What was even more shocking was that Chu Yunqing actually inserted his finger into it, like a piece of blistered tofu. He pricked it with just a little force of his finger.

Chu Yunqing was stunned. The next moment, alarm bells rang loudly in his heart. Without thinking, he decisively pulled out his hand and kicked his feet, causing him to fly backwards.

A heart-wrenching and hair-raising sound came from the man in gray robe, like boiling water or bubbling hot water.

The man in gray robe feebly screamed a few times, and then his entire face melted away as if it had been exposed to strong acid, and spread rapidly throughout his body. It was like brown sugar in a sugar triangle, in a soft body, filled with water slurry.

The man in gray robe was soon left with only a gray robe and shriveled boots, but a thick black water fainted on the spot, which was disgusting and heart-stopping.

At this time, Chu Yunqing looked at the fingers that he had just touched. There was a layer of gray liquid on it, which was constantly corroding the golden light of the body like an adhesion. With the infusion of Qi and blood, the golden light continued to strengthen and wash away, and this layer of gray was finally completely

Dissolve, dissipate into smoke.

He waved his sleeves, as if clearing away the filth.

At the same time, he was extremely vigilant at the moment. This was a reminder to himself that he really shouldn't be so curious in the future. If he hadn't been habitually cautious and protected by golden light this time, he might have fallen into trouble.

And when he thought of the scene where the man in gray robe turned into black water in front of his eyes, Chu Yunqing shuddered a little.

This evil method is beyond my own knowledge, and I will definitely encounter something like this again in the future.

He took a deep breath to calm down.

…

Only then did Zhou Wangchao come to his senses, subconsciously took two steps back, and then walked back forward.

"Is this witchcraft?" Hua Wuqi asked.

When Chu Yunqing heard this, he also looked at Zhou Wangchao.

I know nothing about mystical arts and alchemists, but Zhou Wangchao is an expert. He is an old alchemist from Qingjing Sect.

As the saying goes, 'Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure', and 'Being old but not dying is a thief', which means almost the same thing.

The most important person to ask for advice on this kind of thing now is an experienced person.

"Like, but not." Zhou Wangchao said with a solemn expression: "I once heard my master say that in addition to sects, there are also several reclusive families in the world. They inherit the ancient times and do not cultivate Qi, but only cultivate Qi and blood.

But it’s not about building up your body like my wife did, but using the power of Qi and blood to peer into the mysteries of the human body, sense the heaven and earth, and use this to generate supernatural powers.”

This is the second time Chu Yunqing has heard the term "supernatural power". The last time it was a general term for those brilliant mystical arts.

"This is the secret of the human body and the world. It is the real magical power, far from the strange magic skills of today's alchemists." Zhou Wangchao said with emotion: "It's a pity that the hidden family has escaped into the world, and no one knows where it is. It's really

Pity."

"But what does this have to do with this person?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Zhou Wangchao glanced at him and said, "What you should ask is why the master can know so much about the hidden family."

Chu Yunqing was startled, thinking that everything that existed in the world must have traces, let alone a family that was inherited from ancient times, and it should be recorded in classics and documents.

But Hua Wuqi said: "Since these existences are called hidden families, they must have unpredictable methods and are not known to ordinary people. I think my senior mentor must have met one of them to know this."

Zhou Wangchao nodded appreciatively, and then said: "Yes, the master once killed a hidden person in the early years."

Chu Yunqing and Hua Wuqi were both a little surprised.

"Master, he was really powerful back then." Zhou Wangchao sighed with emotion, and then said: "It's a pity that he rarely mentioned the past. Whenever I asked, he only said a few things. As for the person he killed, master didn't go into detail.

, there is only one sentence: 'Without a face, if you break the face, you will die, the poisonous black water, the faint yellow spring'. About the hidden family, that's all."

After Chu Yunqing heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the traces left by the man in gray robe. It was indeed as Zhou Wangchao said.

But, is this person really a member of the hidden family?

But Zhou Wangchao said that people from this reclusive family did not cultivate true energy, but the swordsmanship of this gray-robed man was driven by true energy. He had fought with him before, so this could not be false.

So, if this person is not from a reclusive family, why is he faceless and meets such characteristics?

Furthermore, who exactly could he be?
