Chapter 40: Pursuit

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The third runner-up has been sitting quietly in the house since he came back from the Marshal's Mansion, but today he always felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Immortal cultivators often have some wonderful feelings happening to them. If they are advanced cultivators, they can even sense some events in the future.

But he didn't know what would happen. Li Yan and Chen An went to the city, which was a common thing recently, so he didn't think about it. He just felt his mood fluctuating. Just when he was feeling uneasy,

Suddenly feeling something, he looked out with his consciousness and found that it was Chen An. Li Yin and the two rushed in. He just glanced at one and didn't take it to heart.

Although this had never happened before, when Li Yan often came back from abroad recently, he often ordered Chen An and Li Yin to move into the valley. He thought that Chen An and Li Yin were forced by Li Yan to rush into the valley.

They were just doing something. But after a while, they stood up. The two people went into the house for a while and then came out without saying a word. They looked extremely anxious. Until then, Li Yan was not seen following behind.

This phenomenon has never happened before.

The third army commander's heart sank. He stood up and came to the mouth of the valley in a flash. He looked around but could not see Li Yan. He scanned it again with his spiritual consciousness uncertainly, but still couldn't see it. The uneasy feeling at the moment became even stronger, and he could not see Li Yan.

In a flash, he arrived in front of Li Yan's house quietly.

Chen An and Li Yin suddenly heard someone asking a question, and the voice was extremely familiar. They suddenly trembled and turned around with ugly expressions. They saw Master Ji looking at them with a gloomy look on their faces. They quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let me ask you a question, where is Li Yan?" Master Ji's voice came coldly, without any emotion, but it made people feel chilly all over in this early summer evening.

"Big...big...man, Master, he...he...he is lost." Li Yin just lay on the ground, biting his lips, and Chen An could only stammer.

"Left, lost,?" After hearing this, Master Ji said one word at a time.

"Yes... yes... the young master came out when we were in the military camp." Chen An lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Oh, in the military camp? Where are you going and what are you doing? Looking for a drink with Liu Chengyong? Tell us what happened today in detail." The voice of Master Ji became even colder. Chen An and Li Yinru felt the cold weather in their bodies.

After a while, Master Ji stood in a black robe outside the stone house where night was about to fall. Chen An had finished speaking in detail, and the two of them were still lying on the ground, not daring to speak anymore.

After standing for a while, the two of them suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved. When they raised their heads and looked again, the figure of the third division had disappeared before their eyes.

The third army division was walking through the forest at high speed, thinking rapidly in his mind. He didn't know what doubts Li Yan had discovered. Then he finally decided to escape from here. He sorted out what happened between Li Yan's entry into the valley and now.

After checking it all over, I didn't realize that I had made any omissions. After thinking for a while, I still had no clue. But what is certain is that today's matter must be related to Hong Linying, otherwise Li Yan would not choose to leave in the military camp by such a coincidence.

Chen and Li. And he happened to be called by Hong Linying today to do something. All these things are definitely not coincidences, but planned.

This shows that Li Yan has been aware of something amiss for some time. Otherwise, how would he have come up with these plans in a hurry? It is really a good calculation, and he has not even checked anything.

As for how Hong Linying was willing to help Li Yan, he didn't even have to think about it. The martial arts idiot must have wanted to get the so-called "martial arts secrets" from Li Yan. He thought as he ran quickly, and after a while he had already figured out the matter.

You probably thought about it a lot.

After a while, he saw the North City Gate in the distance. He did not choose to enter through the city gate. Instead, when he was approaching the North City Gate, he disappeared into the mountains and forests on the west side. After entering the mountains and forests, he scurried towards the city.

The ridge connected to the west of the city wall is planned to be crossed over the city wall from the ridge. This is not possible in today's worldly martial arts world. It's not that you can't go up this mountain, but you can't do it during the descent. How can such a steep mountain wall be avoided?

Make a little noise, and rows of powerful crossbows will come towards you.

However, the figure of the third army division was erratic in the mountains like a ghost. It took only a dozen breaths to reach the top of the ridge without stopping.

, and instantly went down the ridge on the other side, I saw an almost invisible black projectile bouncing between the tree and the rock wall on the mountain wall, without causing any stones to fall and roll down. It seemed that there was no trace of it.

There is no feeling of weight.

After a few breaths, he had arrived on top of the city wall, which was dozens of feet high. He disappeared on top of the city wall in just a flash, but the patrolling soldiers on the city didn't know anything about it.

The third army division was rushing among the houses in the city. His goal was the Marshal's Mansion. He thought that since Hong Linying had done this, Li Yan must be under his control, so Chen An inquired about Li Yan at the north city gate.

The words of leaving the city may not be credible. With Hong Linying's means and power, it doesn't matter if the gatekeeper tells a lie. In this case, Hong Linying will hide Li Yan in a safe place, and there should be only two safe places. One

One is from the Marshal's Mansion in Qingshan Pass City, and the other is from the garrison camp dozens of miles away.

Hong Linying should still have Li Yan in his hands and under his nose, so the probability of being in the Marshal's Mansion in Cangcheng is greater than that of the garrison camp. Therefore, his first target is the Marshal's Mansion.

These thoughts were completed when he left the valley after listening to Chen An's words. It can be said that this Ji's military advisor is very careful and terrifying. The cause and effect of the matter, in this short period of time, he can

The basic considerations are not far from the truth, but his focus is still on the wrong target, and he ignores Li Yan's leading role in this. In his thoughts, Li Yan must have discovered something wrong, but in the past

His ability is inescapable, but Hong Linying has been looking for opportunities to obtain "martial arts secrets". Under unknown circumstances, the two of them agreed on certain plans, and Hong Linying took the opportunity to control Li Yan.

in hand.

His idea is not wrong. Anyone who treats a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child with no power or power will ignore the possibility that he can take the initiative.

Soon, the third army division arrived at the back door of the Marshal's Mansion. It was already dark. He did not stop, but his figure disappeared in a flash, as if he had returned to his own home.

Soon he quietly walked around the Marshal's Mansion. He had checked all the houses and found nothing unusual. This was what he expected. If he could find someone so easily, then Hong Lin

Ying is too stupid.

It's just that he didn't want to make mistakes that he shouldn't have made due to his carelessness, and while walking around, he also identified several suspicious places. All that was left was to carefully explore these places. After all,

He is only at the third level of cultivation in the Qi Condensation stage, and his spiritual sense cannot detect more than ten feet, so he cannot scan a large area.

There were three suspicious places. One was a dark room behind the lobby; the other was a secret passage in the back garden leading to the back door; and the third was a secret room under the east wing of the backyard. Once he had determined the scope, he searched for them one by one.

.

Soon he flashed out of the lobby. There was no one in the dark room behind the lobby. After detecting no one with his spiritual sense, he even went in and searched around, but no clues were found.

A few breaths later, he had arrived outside the east wing of the backyard, hiding in the shadows of the corridor. After taking a deep breath, he released his consciousness and swept into the house. He had no scruples in this Qingshan Pass. After so many years, he still

A cultivator had never been found, so no one could recognize his consciousness. After looking around, there was no one in the house. He walked out of the shadows and slowly opened the door and entered.

After entering the house, he quickly found the entrance to the secret room, sat cross-legged on the spot, and once again used his spiritual consciousness to explore the entrance.

The range of his spiritual consciousness is too small. When he is outside the house, he can only detect that there is a secret room underground in the house, but he cannot get a full view of it. Therefore, he must make sure that there is no one in the house before approaching and exploring again.

Soon, his face changed, his eyebrows twitched, and he smiled. The secret room was not big. When he found out, there were two people in the secret room. However, his face soon darkened, and Li Yan was not there.

, it was Hong Linying and another person, but he knew that person. He often pretended to be mysterious and hid in the dark room in the lobby of the rear palace. His aura was not weaker than that of Hong Linying, and he was also a top master in the world. He just

He was just pretending not to know, and he wouldn't care if there were a few more people like this.

But at this time, the two of them were just sitting on a couch each in the secret room.

On top of the group, it should look like they are practicing Qigong.

As a result, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Hong Linying didn't take Li Yan with him, but he said he had left Li Yan somewhere else to be looked after. Without any delay, he put away his consciousness, got up and left for the back garden.

After he left, after a long while, Hong Linying, who was sitting on the futon in the secret room, suddenly opened his eyes, and slowly released his hand that was half clenched into a fist on his knee. Surprisingly, it was the small porcelain vase. At this time,

There was a faint sound of impact from the bottle. After looking at the vial, he said, "He's gone away."

The big man also opened his eyes at this time, and at the same time glanced at the porcelain bottle: "Brother, Ji Wenhe is here now, is it because of that boy?"

Hong Linying thought for a moment and said, "It's about time, it should be."

Then the big man said, "Thankfully, I have this thing. Otherwise, Ji Wenhe's Qinggong was so powerful that neither you nor I would notice it. I really don't know how the kid put this thing on Ji Wenhe's body without being noticed by him."

.”

Hong Linying also looked solemn and did not answer after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Ji Wenhe's martial arts has reached its peak. He can actually find this place in the huge Marshal's Mansion. It's serious. We

However, we can only judge his arrival and distance from the intensity of the reaction of this thing. The fluctuation was very small at first, and the fluctuation became larger and larger at the end, indicating that Ji Wenhe used internal force to explore, and advanced bit by bit, and finally reached this point.

His physical skills are really admirable. But the reason why he didn't come down later was probably because he didn't detect that Li Yan was here; at the same time, he thought we didn't know yet, so he just did things quietly."

After hearing these words, the big man said with some doubts, "Senior brother, if you say that his inner strength can detect the general situation through objects, it is possible, but if you say that he can also detect the person in the secret room, it is impossible.

Already."

Hong Linying looked thoughtful, and after a while he said, "It is still possible. When the internal strength reaches a certain level, although detection through objects cannot detect who the other party is, it can still detect the other party's breathing, aura, etc., and then come

To infer the other party’s situation.”

After hearing this, the big man nodded silently, "So, fortunately, senior brother saw the opportunity early, took this bottle in his hand, and used his power to block the sound, otherwise he must have heard the sound of this thing hitting, then it is very likely that he would

I realize that something is wrong with me, but what happened today is just his ability to track, and the use of this skill is really wonderful."

Hong Linying nodded after hearing this, "We also tried to run this technique just now. Although there was no reaction, we can confirm that it is a mental method that senses the vitality between heaven and earth. The method here is extremely ingenious and is unlike anything I have ever seen.

It can be compared with any other mental method, and it should be a real mental method, but it is best to get the full version, so that we can truly make a comparison."

"In this case, let's go there at the appointed time." The big man also said with a look of anticipation. He had seen the wonders of Master Ji's skills tonight, and he couldn't help but get ready to take action.

.

Hong Linying still hesitated a little, and took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was one of the letters Li Yan gave him. He read it over and over for a while, and finally folded it slowly and carefully.

He put it into his arms, looked up at the big man, and said slowly, "Then let's go as promised. This is a good opportunity after all. As for that kid, after this happens, I will slowly process him."

After hearing this, the big man said solemnly, "Senior brother, with our current martial arts, we still have little confidence in dealing with Ji Wenhe."

He brushed aside his previous views on Ji Wenhe. He had only come here a few years ago, so he had never seen Ji Wenhe show off his martial arts. He had only heard about it. In the past, he had felt that his senior fellow apprentices and many men in the army had no regard for Ji Wenhe.

His martial arts skills were exaggerated, and he was still dissatisfied with it, but today he was deceived even though he didn't know it even when he was close. If he hadn't accidentally done something to the opponent, then he would have no idea how he died.

After hearing this, Hong Linying smiled. His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, so he said something to him using the method of "transmitting sound into the secret".

After dozens of breaths, the big man also had a happy face: "Brother, your method is really feasible."
