I am a shooter

Chapter 9: The Leader Disappears

While eating the next day, Ning Shu looked at Lao Zhang, his brows furrowed to the point of squeezing together. So he asked:

"Master, why are you frowning so much today? Are you feeling unwell?"

A day ago, a middle-aged man came to the Poison Valley with a serious injury. On each shoulder of the man was a black fish and a white fish entangled in a circular pattern. This was actually the symbol of the Yin-Yang Sect. The man was the Wind Chaser of the Yin-Yang Sect. Unfortunately, the man was too seriously injured and seemed to have completely lost his life after talking to Lao Zhang for a few words.

Ever since that man died, Old Zhang has been frowning. Ning Shu didn't dare to ask too much, after all, he didn't understand the situation now.

Hearing Ning Shu ask this, Lao Zhang sighed:

"Well, I was thinking about how to tell you. Since you asked, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I have another identity, that is, the doctor of Yin Yang Sect. Recently, there are rumors that the leader is missing. Now some people led by the Righteous Alliance are spreading rumors that the leader died in Tianmen. Now they are launching a surprise attack to encircle and suppress my brothers. At present, the damage in the sect is severe. Elder Ou sent someone to tell me to hide and never show up."

Originally, Lao Zhang wanted to leave quietly without telling Ning Shu, but he couldn't help but tell her that Ning Shu was becoming more and more like his own daughter.

After hearing this, Ning Shu also asked curiously:

"Didn't you say that the leader was already in the late Shanhe stage and was an extremely powerful person in the entire continent? How could he die in Tianmen? I guess it must be a rumor."

Lao Zhang felt the same way, but there is no smoke without fire. However, he still firmly believed that the leader would be fine, and then he said:

"The leader is indeed a top-notch expert, and he is very protective of those who have a problem with our sect. In the past, they didn't dare to offend us easily. But he also offended a lot of people because of this. Now there are rumors that the leader died in the Valley of Heaven in Tianmen."

Ning Shu was also confused after hearing this. If it was just a rumor, why would they suddenly attack? He asked:

"Isn't there any definite news? If it's just a rumor, how dare they attack rashly?"

Although Lao Zhang firmly believed that the leader was alive, there were rumors that no one had ever come out alive from the Tianmen. Then he said:

"Girl, you may not know that no one has ever come out of the Valley of Heaven alive. Rumor has it that other strong men have also gone in, including those who were more powerful than the leader in the past, but no one has ever come out after going in, without exception."

Old Zhang seemed to recall the warnings of the older generation and said with emotion:

"The Valley of Heaven. Legend has it that anyone who can cross it can enter the heaven. But if a mortal goes against the will of heaven, there will be no chance of survival."

Hearing this, Ning Shu was relatively calm. After all, this was the first time he heard about the Yin-Yang Cult and the news about its leader.

After saying this, Lao Zhang seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly said:

"Ning Shu, the leader saved my life. Now she is not in the sect. I have to go back to see her no matter what. You should practice well here and wait for me to come back."

Ning Shu felt inexplicably upset when she heard this. Now that Lao Zhang was like her father, how could she watch him go on an adventure alone, especially since he was disabled in both legs? So she used the most useful method at this age and said:

"You can't leave me. Wherever you go, I will go."

Old Zhang looked at Ning Shu and comforted her:

"Oh, why don't you understand? This time it's extremely dangerous. What can you do if you go there?"

Lao Zhang paused, as if he didn't want his previous words to be too harsh, and continued:

"Ning Shu, listen to me. You are the one with the best talent for cultivation that I have ever seen. You are also the only one besides me who has memorized the Poison Doctor Sutra. Your achievements in the future will definitely be great. If I have an accident, you can help me find a successor with the Poison Doctor."

Lao Zhang paused and continued:

"I hope you can practice well. If, if there is an accident, you can avenge us after your strength increases."

Ning Shu didn't care about anything else at this moment. Even if there was danger, he would follow Lao Zhang. Anyway, he couldn't let Lao Zhang leave him to take risks. He hadn't repaid his life-saving grace yet. Even if he died, he wanted to die with his master.

"I don't want it. If you don't take me, I will follow you."

Lao Zhang felt very complicated, but was still very moved. In the end, Lao Zhang compromised with Ning Shu and said:

"Forget it, let's just go for it once and be careful at all times."

The two changed into their clothes and disguised themselves. Ning Shu naturally painted a black mark on her face. After all, it was safer to be ugly when going out. Moreover, Lao Zhang also believed that the identity of an ugly girl left behind by the destroyed Ning family would not be suspected by others and would be safer at any time. Even if she returned to the sect in the future, she could avoid many unnecessary things.

Old Zhang made two prosthetic limbs out of bamboo and wood and disguised himself as an old man, so that even though he had difficulty moving, he looked flawless.

In order to save time and avoid danger, Ning Shu carried Lao Zhang on his back and walked in the forest, heading towards the Wind Demon Forest.

The two of them arrived at a town not far from Fengmo Forest and found that all the intersections leading to Yin Yang Sect were surrounded. They couldn't get in at all, and there was a risk of being exposed. So after discussing it, the two of them decided to stay in Shifeng Town first.

The two planned to go to the nearby towns to gather information first, and then find an opportunity to infiltrate the sect.

As expected, there are many foreign cultivators in the town. In this world, before the Spiritualization Stage, the difference between martial artists and cultivators is not that big. To be precise, the combat effectiveness at this stage is about the same, and many people even practice martial arts and cultivation at the same time.

At this time, Shifeng Town suddenly became crowded with people, and the teahouses and restaurants suddenly became more popular. The disguised Ning Shu and his partner came to a teahouse. They only ordered a pot of the cheapest tea, took out food from their bags, and patiently listened to the conversations of the people around them.

Sure enough, not long after they sat down, they heard someone next to them say:

"Have you heard? Ou Lie from the Yin Yang Cult actually escaped from the encirclement of the three great masters of the Justice League. The people in this evil cult are really powerful."

"Who says it's not true? But Ou Lie's swordsmanship is extremely domineering. Under normal circumstances, he can fight the deputy leader head-on."

"I heard that this time, in addition to the Justice League, there are also the Heaven Sword Sect and the Tyrant Spear Sect. It's a pity that the Divine Sword Sect didn't come, otherwise how could the Yin Yang Sect have the power to resist."

"You are stupid. Once the Divine Sword Sect comes, what benefit will other forces get? They are the strongest sect in our Yunluo country, and the royal family is polite to them."

"But the people of the Yin Yang Cult are all a bunch of lunatics. I heard that they all came together just to revive the dead. It's really scary."

Master Ning Shu and his apprentice listened to the discussions of the people around them, all of which were bad news and derogatory remarks about the Yin Yang Sect. Especially when he heard that Elder Ou Lie was injured and fled, Lao Zhang clenched his fingers tightly in his sleeves, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and blood flowed out of his palms. The walking stick in his other hand even had a crack. Ou Lie was one of the few elders in the sect who had a good relationship with Lao Zhang. The two had similar personalities, and Ou Lie had helped Lao Zhang many times. That was why Lao Zhang reacted like this.

Seeing this, Ning Shu held Lao Zhang's bleeding hand with one hand and handed him food with the other hand, her eyes full of worry. She was also worried that Lao Zhang would lose his composure and be exposed at this moment. Then they would face death next, and their sacrifice would be meaningless.

With the arrival of the master and disciple, people around them looked at them from time to time.

Ning Shu was not in a hurry when he saw this. He took out the dry biscuits in his hand and put them on the table, and said obediently:

"Grandpa, let's eat something first."

When people around looked at her with ill intentions, Ning Shu lifted the scarf that covered her face and put the food into her mouth. Suddenly, a black mark covering half of her fair face appeared.

Seeing this, the people around who were originally somewhat curious immediately withdrew their gazes, as if they were going to lose their appetite the next second. Someone else said:

"It's really unappetizing."

However, Ning Shu's action actually diverted the attention of those who were originally looking at them.

Ning Shu quietly asked Lao Zhang:

"What should we do next?"

Old Zhang seemed to have regained his composure and signaled to Ning Shu:

"Don't worry, let's stay here first."
