"Chief, we have been secretly monitoring for a day, and we have not seen any new disciples of the Scarlet Heart Sect gathering. Moreover, these people are wandering around the city during the day, seeming to be collecting information related to the current situation of the Scarlet Heart Sect, that is,
Said, it is very possible that they do not know the facts behind the scenes, and they may be just a group of ordinary disciples, should we arrest them directly?"
The man in black kneeling on one knee reported the situation truthfully. [.\nCOM Situ’s updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content is repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons, browser access is recommended.\nCOM official website]
"No, this is a bait. It should be used to its maximum value. I would like to see if I can catch a big fish. Okay, you go down first and let people keep an eye on each other. Be careful not to expose yourself.
Make them aware they are being watched."
The man on the Grand Master's chair spoke calmly.
"Don't worry, chief, the people monitoring you have all used the talismans in the sect to cover their aura and existence, and can monitor remotely. The strongest of these disciples can only reach the realm of induction, and it is difficult to detect abnormalities."
The man in black said.
"Well, good, let's go down."
The man on the Grand Master's chair nodded and waved his sleeves.
The man in black bowed and backed away, exited the study, and slowly closed the door.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the other party, the man had a deep look on his face. What he did not say clearly was that he had obtained information not long ago. The two people appeared near the extremity area again, and then disappeared again. They were nowhere to be found.
After tracing, even the magic of Tianji Sect can hardly catch any clues.
And as one of them is really a member of the True Heart Sect, there is no chance that he will bite this bait.
Rather than searching randomly in the entire Jianbei Road, or even in the entire Wei Dynasty, he preferred to wait and see.
After all, nowadays, the entire world has too many eyes on the two of them. Although he is the chief of the Gui Yi Sect and third on the Tianhua Ranking, looking at the world, with all the forces competing against each other, he is not outstanding.
No matter how strong he is, he can only compete with masters of magical powers. He is not a real master of magical powers, and he cannot even be considered to be the top combat power in this world.
However, now that the masters of the Wu Kingdom are gathering at the border, under pressure, the top masters of Jianbei Road have to guard against each other, so some matters in Jianbei Road are left to the chief or deacon masters of their respective factions to handle.
But this is enough. According to the information he has obtained, the opponent is swarming in the extremity area and is unstoppable. But to put it bluntly, the opponent is only one of the top ten or lower on the Tianhua Ranking, and his strength is not the same as his.
Huge difference.
The top ten on the Tianhua list, each step up the ranking, the strength will steadily increase.
As for the top three on the Tianhua Ranking, not counting Xingjun Hong Xingxian who ranks first, he and the chief of the Tianji Sect have both had records of competing against masters of magical powers.
If the other party dares to show up, he will definitely not be able to escape his grasp.
Now let’s see if the other party will bite this piece of bait.
"Even if the Principle Source Seal really obtains a trace of its power, it will be impossible to refine it in a short period of time. If it can be obtained by our sect and follow the traces to control the Principle Source Seal, then the Wei Dynasty will not have the final say in this world.
.”
The man whispered to himself.
Although the Three Paths and Six Unifications of Jianbei Dao are the top canonized sects in the world, they were sealed in the remote Jianbei by Lu Ting, Taizu of the Wei Dynasty. There was no resentment in their hearts. It was just that they were unable to resist due to the power of the Daoyuan.
the other side.
After Zhao Xuanqi separated from Ling, he immediately changed his appearance, used the power of returning to the void to gather his aura, and sneaked in the forest. He first confirmed his location and found that he was somewhere a hundred miles away from the edge of the extremity area, so he Hua
After two hours, he sneaked back to the vicinity of Lingfeng Town.
But he soon discovered that Lingfeng Town and the area around the original extremity area were almost blocked.
"It seems that the fact that we entered the road of life and death has indeed caused shock to the top forces in this world. I don't know what the situation of the Scarlet Heart Sect is now."
Zhao Xuanqi looked solemn. He was not sure whether his identity had been exposed or whether anyone from the Red Heart Sect had been affected.
However, it was unrealistic to find someone near Lingfeng Town to obtain information. It would easily arouse suspicion and reveal one's identity, but he was not prepared to leave easily.
He secretly searched around Lingfeng Town.
Before setting off, these new disciples of the sect were informed of a set of confidential communication methods of the Red Heart Sect to prepare for unexpected situations on the road. This set of communication methods, according to the directions of the Nine Palaces and Bagua and the Five Elements, would form specific code marks at some corresponding locations.
to convey information.
Nowadays, Lingfeng Town is under full martial law and it is not easy for him to enter, so he can only look for information outside Lingfeng Town.
He guessed that the disciples concealed their identities and practiced on their own. With the "heat" of this extremity area, many disciples might enter Lingfeng Town. If something happened to the Scarlet Heart Sect after he entered the road of life and death, these people would be hidden because of their concealment.
It is impossible to capture the identity immediately, and it is very likely that information will be left behind.
Sure enough, in a dense forest nine kilometers southwest of Lingfeng Town, he found a series of codes imprinted on the roots of trees.
After parsing the code using a specific solution, he obtained an address.
"Anyuan Town? We need to use code to communicate. It seems that something has happened to the Red Heart Sect."
Zhao Xuanqi finished processing the traces of digging tree roots and fell into thinking.
He didn't know the current situation in Anyuan Town. Although someone left a code, it didn't mean that the person who left the code was still safe.
Moreover, the possibility of various forces using this method to set traps for themselves cannot be ruled out.
After all, the Scarlet Heart Sect didn't know the truth, but he knew it, and countless people were paying attention to his whereabouts.
But in the end, he decided to go to Anyuan Town to investigate.
This was a disaster he had caused. The Red Heart Sect had only brought disaster to the pond, not to mention that among the disciples of the Red Heart Sect, there were some people he cared about.
He cannot ignore it, and he also needs to understand the current situation and the situation of the Heartfelt faction.
After making his decision, he identified the direction and immediately rushed towards the direction of Anyuan Town.
As soon as it dawned, he had already arrived near Anyuan Town.
Anyuan Town is larger than Lingfeng Town, but it is not a famous city after all. It does not have a towering city wall. Because there are many warriors from all walks of life, it is difficult to restrict the comings and goings. Therefore, the guards are not as strict as Lingfeng Town. If you want to sneak in,
It is not difficult for Zhao Xuanqi now that he has mastered the power of Guixu.
Just when Zhao Xuanqi sneaked into the town.
A private house somewhere in Anyuan Town.
He Xijun and other disciples of the Red Heart Sect have finished their rest and are discussing their actions for the new day.
"Xijun, yesterday you were collecting intelligence from various places in the city. Let me do it today. You go and observe near the place where the code is arranged to see if any other disciples are following the code."
Lu Dong said to He Xijun.
He Xijun nodded. She didn't collect any useful information yesterday, so there's nothing wrong with using someone else today.
"Everyone, today is our last day in Anyuan Town. Regardless of whether we have obtained information or whether new disciples have arrived, we have to leave. So while collecting intelligence, pay attention to the distribution of imperial officials and disciples of various factions.
So that we can plan a way to leave Anyuan Town."
Wen Changan said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded, and then left the houses one after another and walked to various places in the city.
At the same time, Zhao Xuanqi had changed into plain clothes and mingled with the crowd in the city.
He did not immediately try to find the code left in the city, but first inquired about the situation of the Red Heart Sect.
It is rumored that the headquarters of the Red Heart Sect in Haqing Province has been breached. The specific situation has been blocked and the information is unknown.
The properties of the Chixin Sect in Jianbei Province were sealed off, and the remaining people were not arrested.
Moreover, not only the Red Heart Sect, but also other sects in Heqing Dao were suppressed. It seemed that the imperial court was inclined to take action against the canonized sects.
"The situation is more serious than I thought. It seems that my identity has indeed been exposed, but to what extent it is hard to say. Maybe they all know that I am related to the True Heart Sect, but they have not yet been able to target 'Zhao Xing'
above this name."
Zhao Xuanqi thought in his mind that it was already noon, and he planned to go to the corresponding location in the city to see if there was any code based on the location deduced by the confidential communication method.
Soon, Zhao Xuanqi came to a place on the northeast main street of Anyuan Town. This is a busy area in Anyuan Town. There is a market nearby and there are many restaurants and inns around it. At this time, people are coming and going, making it very noisy.
Zhao Xuanqi was hidden among the crowd, his eyes wandering around the shops and the entrance to the alley connecting to the main road. After searching for a while, his expression finally became slightly condensed.
At the edge of a shop, next to the wooden shed at the entrance of the alley, a pile of firewood is piled aside. It seems to be placed randomly, as if the leftover wood after making the wooden shed, but in fact, its placement is vaguely similar to that of a certain member of the True Heart Sect.
The contact code matches.
This is a joint signal. As long as he steps forward and slightly adjusts the angle of the wood, he will be able to match the signal, and someone will come to join him nearby.
"Is it actually a secret code for a joint? In other words, there is a high probability that someone nearby is watching this place, but I don't know if it is a real joint or a trap set by various forces."
Zhao Xuanqi thought about it in his heart and decided to test it out.
There are some goods stacked in the wooden shed next to the wood pile, covered with linen. Next to the wooden shed is a restaurant that sells some deli meats, and the sound is quite prosperous.
Zhao Xuanqi pretended to be a passing diner, walked into the restaurant, packed some cooked food, and after leaving the store, he opened the packaging paper and walked out toward the alley where the firewood pile was while eating.
When he was about to enter the alley, he stopped beside the firewood pile and walked slowly towards the firewood pile.
For a moment, he vaguely noticed eyes falling on him, seeming to be attracted by his movements.
His intuition is very sensitive and he can detect it instantly.
However, Zhao Xuanqi did not touch the pile of firewood. Instead, he reached out and pulled the linen cloth exposed from the wood shed, wiped the grease on his hands from eating cooked food, then re-wrapped the food in oil paper and walked in
In a side alley.
Zhao Xuanqi continued walking into the alley as usual without stopping. He kept walking for a while and found that no eyes were following him. Then he turned in the alley and returned to the original main entrance from another exit.
On the street.
Following the direction of the gaze he sensed before, he locked the location on the second floor of a teahouse.
With his current clothes, if he enters a teahouse, he will definitely arouse suspicion from the other party, even if he changes his appearance.
He turned his head and glanced at the tailor shop not far away, and walked over.
the other side.
The second floor of the teahouse.
He Xijun, who was in disguise, was drinking tea and eating pastries, but in fact she was staring at the secret pyre from the corner of her eye. The moment she saw Zhao Xuanqi approaching the pyre, her eyes shrank slightly, and the tea drinker
His movements couldn't help but pause slightly.
But she soon discovered that the man's target didn't seem to be the pyre. She didn't relax her vigilance until the other person completely left.
After taking a sip of tea, she paused slightly again.
There was nothing wrong with the other party's performance from beginning to end, and she didn't really show up. She was just observing in secret. The probability of being discovered was very low, but the current situation was serious, so she had to be more cautious and act cautiously.
After all, once there is a problem, it is likely to be a disaster.
"Waiter, check out!"
She raised her hand and called the waiter. After paying the bill, she got up and left, blending in with the crowd and leaving the teahouse.
However, she did not go far. Instead, she found an empty seat in a large tea shed downstairs and ordered a large bowl of tea.
The position she was sitting in was very clever. She could observe both the entrance of the tea house and the secretly marked firewood pile.
While drinking tea, she observed the people coming and going around her, trying to see if there was anyone suspicious.
at the same time.
Zhao Xuanqi walked out of the tailor shop, changed into a new set of clothes, walked into the alley next to him, controlled his bones and muscles slightly to change his body shape, and walked back to the street, heading towards the tea house.
When he passed the tea stall, he paused slightly in his heart, but on the surface he didn't stop at all and continued to move forward at a steady speed.
But his consciousness had already locked onto someone in the tea stall.
That familiar feeling was undoubtedly the sight from before, and with such a close contact, the perception was particularly clear. Even though He Xijun was disguised, his aura and temperament had not fundamentally changed.
.
What's more, Zhao Xuanqi's spirit is so sharp, and he has spent so much time with He Xijun day and night, so he can instantly identify her identity.
"Senior Sister He"
Zhao Xuanqi was slightly relieved. Fortunately, what he was most worried about did not happen.
While moving forward slowly, he thought about it, and finally decided to contact He Xijun and the others first to understand the situation.
After all, it now seems that although the other party knows that he is related to the Scarlet Heart Sect, he did not equate himself with Zhao Xing because of his better concealment before.
He crossed the teahouse, and this time, he walked directly to the secret firewood pile. Under He Xijun's secret gaze, he bent down and picked up one of the firewood, changed the direction of the firewood, and then did not look back.
He walked into a side alley.
"This is"
He Xijun's eyes narrowed slightly, he reached into his sleeves and took out a few copper coins, slapped them on the table, then immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the alley where Zhao Xuanqi entered.
