He Xijun walked through the crowd and quickly entered the alley. Sure enough, he saw a figure waiting in the alley.
"Senior sister, is that you?"
Zhao Xuanqi slowly turned around, his facial expression changed, and he was already 78% similar to Zhao Xing. He looked like Zhao Xing in disguise.
"It's you!"
He Xijun recognized Zhao Xing at a glance, exclaimed softly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, walked up quickly, and looked Zhao Xuanqi up and down, as if he was afraid that he was missing an arm or a leg.
"It's great that you're okay. Also, why are you here?"
He Xijun asked in a low voice.
She originally thought that Zhao Xing might have been arrested by the court, or had fled and concealed his name.
"I heard that Jueyu was near Lingfeng Town. I thought there were many warriors gathering in Lingfeng Town, so I thought I would open my eyes. Unexpectedly, I encountered turmoil, and then the city was closed. I didn't have time to escape, and the Hearing Sect
After the incident, I did not dare to reveal my identity. Fortunately, I had not been in the army for a long time. Perhaps the official information about me was incomplete, so I was able to leave Lingfeng Town by luck and found you outside the town.
I followed the code and came to Anyuan Town."
Zhao Xuanqi said briefly in a low voice.
"It's good to be able to escape safely. This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
He Xijun whispered, she looked around, as if observing whether anyone was watching or following her.
Then she did not take Zhao Xuanqi back to their safe house immediately, but went back to readjust the decoration of the firewood pile. Then she and Zhao Xuanqi went to a nearby restaurant, opened a private room, and ordered some wine and food.
He Xijun sat by the window, where he could observe the position of the firewood pile.
"Let's eat something first, it's not time yet."
He Xijun said to Zhao Xuanqi.
Zhao Xuanqi nodded and understood what she meant, which was to continue to monitor the code mark to avoid missing information.
He Xijun, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, brought up some of Zhao Xing's past and details of their previous interactions.
It must be said that He Xijun acted very cautiously. Although Zhao Xuanqi was in person, she was still a little worried. She relaxed after repeatedly confirming Zhao Xuanqi's identity.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted about each other. Although they were in a private room, they had to block the partition wall and couldn't talk about some secret details in depth.
And while the two of them were waiting in the restaurant.
With the restaurant as the center, within a radius of several miles, there were several people dressed as beggars, with black cloth covering their eyes, like blind men. Their ears trembled slightly, seeming to have caught the conversation between Zhao Xuanqi and He Xijun in the restaurant.
Don't monitor with eyes, but listen remotely with hearing.
This is the "Skill of Heavenly Listening" in Guiyi Sect.
With the help of a special talisman, the caster can use the Heavenly Listening Technique to capture all movements, large and small, within a certain range. This range changes depending on the strength of the caster.
The so-called talisman is similar to a magic weapon. It is engraved with a certain talisman and has the effect of greatly enhancing the effect of certain spells, reducing the consumption of the spell, and enhancing the concealment and sustainability of the spell.
Martial arts masters have keen intuition and are extremely sensitive to surveillance eyes.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. If you take the initiative to look at an object, you will be mentally induced and the breath will be communicated, and it will be perceived.
A warrior with a strong physique has the skill of witnessing, his gaze is like the tip of a knife, and the room is filled with thunder.
The ears are different from the hearing. Compared with the active locking of the eyes, the hearing is passive reception, so it is more difficult to be captured by the intuition of experts.
Therefore, the art of Tianting is a secret surveillance art among the sect. Every being who practices this art needs special training in the sect. They need to blind their eyes when they are young and practice their hearing since childhood.
Listening, then practicing martial arts and practicing techniques can achieve the best results.
You can even break through the barriers and listen to intelligence information.
This is an intelligence agency belonging to the Guiyi Sect.
This kind of monitoring technique is mixed in the downtown area, and even Zhao Xuanqi's intentions of the beasts are difficult to detect.
The information was transferred layer by layer and soon reached the hands of Lu Shijie, the chief of Guiyi Sect.
"Today, there are new disciples of the True Heart Sect who followed the secret signal and came to join us?"
Upon hearing the news, Lu Shijie narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not long ago, the traces of the two people had just reappeared near Lingfeng Town. Now, just a short time later, a new disciple of the Chixin Sect appeared in Anyuan Town, which made him feel a little strange.
"According to the information sent back below, the newcomer called the contact person 'Senior Sister', and the contact person's strength does not exceed the Zang Refining Realm. Therefore, this new disciple of the True Heart Sect does not seem to be the key to the True Heart Sect.
The character may have escaped from Lingfeng Town not long ago and came here following the code."
"Chief, do you need to send more manpower, or choose to close the network?"
The man in black standing below explained to Lu Shijie in a deep voice.
"It's not necessary yet. Since it's still under our control, let's see what else they want to do."
"The information sent before said that people from the Red Heart Sect are paying attention to the city's defense situation in the city today, and they seem to have plans to leave Anyuan Town?"
Lu Shijie pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Yes, the 'Tian Ear' was monitoring last night. They seem to be planning to leave Anyuan Town after today."
The man in black nodded.
"Well, mobilize the manpower. When they are about to leave Anyuan Town, that's when we close the net."
Lu Shijie said calmly.
"yes."
the other side.
After Zhao Xuanqi and He Xijun had lunch, they left the restaurant and moved to another teahouse to keep watch.
However, a whole afternoon passed, and no one touched the code, and nothing suspicious happened.
"Let's go back."
Seeing that it was almost dusk, He Xijun stood up to pay the bill, then left the teahouse with Zhao Xuanqi, walked into the alley next to the main street, and started walking towards the safe house where everyone stayed.
"Sister, how many people are there in Anyuan Town now?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
"Including you, there are seven people in total. You will know when we get to the place."
He Xijun said that not long after, the two came to the door of a private house and knocked on the door at a specific frequency. Not long after, the door was opened, and the person who opened the door was Lu Dong.
"You're back"
Lu Dong saw He Xijun, nodded slightly, and then saw Zhao Xuanqi following He Xijun. Tong Kong shrank suddenly, with a look of joy in his eyes: "You are"
"Senior brother."
Zhao Xuanqi smiled and nodded to Lu Dong.
"Quick, come in first."
Lu Dong quickly stepped aside and allowed the two of them to enter the house.
At this time, in addition to Lu Dong, there was another disciple who stayed behind in the house. However, the time had come and the others were returning one after another in less than two quarters of an hour.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw Zhao Xuanqi. They probably didn't expect that there would be other disciples who would follow the code.
Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and then sat in a circle.
"Brothers and sisters, what is the situation in the faction now?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked.
"We don't know much about the specific situation. The information on He Qingdao seems to have been deliberately blocked by the court. We still can't figure out what happened and why we were suddenly wanted."
Lu Dong sighed and shook his head.
"Everyone else, did you get any useful information today?"
He Xijun looked at the others.
Most of the classmates shook their heads.
"I met a caravan that sneaked across the pass from Heqing Road today and learned some information."
At this moment, Wen Changan opened his mouth and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"It is said that Heqingdao is currently undergoing a major purge, and all factions have suffered. Our Red Heart Sect is the first to bear the brunt. It is said that Hong Xingxian personally took action at that time, and the leader borrowed the sect's formation to fight in person. The final result is unknown, but there are rumors,
Not all of the sect members were arrested. The sect seemed to have been prepared for it. The leader used himself to delay the court, allowing some of the elite members of the sect to escape and become firebrands. Now these people have been hidden and their whereabouts are unknown.
"
Wen Changan said.
After hearing the information he brought, everyone's eyes flashed with light.
Originally, they all thought that the headquarters of the Red Heart Sect in Heqing Road had been completely wiped out. They might have become rats on the street, with nowhere to go and no home to return to. Although many people did not express it on their faces, they already had the intention of retreating in their hearts.
The Red Heart Sect has been wiped out. How can they, these bereaved dogs, not even master the top secrets of the sect, fight against such a behemoth as the imperial court? Perhaps staying anonymous is the best option.
But now there is hope. Although the headquarters of the Red Heart Sect has been donated and the situation of the leader is unknown, at least the orthodoxy of the Red Heart Sect has not been cut off.
Even though this information is still just a rumor, there is no conclusive evidence.
"I noticed that there seem to be more officials and spies in the city today. It seems that we can't stay in Anyuan Town for a long time. Now we have obtained some information, which finally gives us a direction. If some elite members of the faction have escaped
If you are pursued by the court, I have some general ideas about where you might go. What we have to do now is to rendezvous with the large army first and then make other plans."
"Tonight, according to the original plan, we will leave Anyuan Town, and then we will find a way to leave Jianbei Road."
Wen Changan said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded and had no objections. Among all the people now, Shou Wen Changan was the strongest. Moreover, he was highly valued by the top management and knew many secrets. Naturally, everyone followed him.
Afterwards, everyone gathered intelligence and formulated a strategy for leaving the city.
Anyuan Town is now very strict in checking in and out of the town. Zhao Xuanqi has only been in the team for a short time and is a new face. He is still able to get through. I am afraid it will be difficult for them to escape the inspection.
However, Anyuan Town does not have a towering city wall. Although there are guards everywhere, it is impossible to surround the entire town inside and out. Therefore, as long as you find a weak point in the guards, you can escape from the city secretly.
In fact, they were not the only ones who did this. Jianbei Road was already a mixed bag, and some people from the Jianghu area who were carrying eucalyptus did not want to fall into the hands of the imperial court. During this time, many people had secretly left the city.
After making the plan, when the sky was completely dark and night fell, everyone changed into black clothes and prepared to take action.
"Follow me for a moment. If something goes wrong, no matter what else, you can escape first. You are a stranger and have a better chance of escaping than us."
Before setting off, He Xijun whispered to Zhao Xuanqi.
"Sister, don't say such depressing words, the operation will go smoothly."
Zhao Xuanqi smiled.
Even if it doesn't go well, I will make it go well for him.
"I hope so."
He Xijun took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Wen Changan, and nodded slightly.
"Set off."
Wen Changan gave a low shout and took the lead, heading towards the planned route and blending into the darkness to sneak in.
Others immediately followed suit.
the other side.
"The people of the Red Heart Sect have moved and rushed out in full force. Their target is the northern direction of Anyuan Town. It seems they want to leave under the cover of night."
The man in black said to Lu Shijie.
"It seems that's the end. They can't bring any more useful information. It's time to close the network."
Lu Shijie stood up slowly, his expression calm.
Zhao Xuanqi and others were sneaking along under the leadership of Wen Chang'an. Although they encountered official officials and disciples from various factions patrolling the streets several times, they were able to escape without any danger.
Soon everyone arrived at the northern border of Anyuan Town, ready to wait for an opportunity to climb over the city wall and escape from Anyuan Town.
However, at this moment.
Swish, brush, brush!
Within a few miles, nearly twenty figures in black suddenly jumped onto the roof. The disciples guarding the border seemed to have received the order and quickly came to surround everyone.
"This is?!"
Wen Changan and others' expressions suddenly changed wildly.
They were exposed?!
All the men in black have blazing auras, and they are at least masters of the sensing realm.
"Oops, I'll break through to the northwest in a moment. I'll do my best to stop my opponent. Don't worry about anything else. Just rush towards the city wall. As long as you can escape from Anyuan Town, you still have a chance."
Wen Changan gritted his teeth and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
However, he didn't wait for him to take action.
"It's a pity. I originally thought you were a good piece of bait that could lift big fish, but now it seems you have let me down."
At this moment, a calm voice came, and the moonlight fell, as if being pulled by a body. All the surrounding scenery seemed to be blurred, and everyone's attention and spirit were focused on that voice.
Involved by the figure.
For a moment, in the eyes of Wen Changan and others, it seemed that only that figure existed.
It was as if that figure had become the focus of all things, the only one in the world.
Return to one door, all dharma will return to one!
This person is
The moment they saw the man's appearance clearly, the faces of Wen Changan and others instantly turned pale and desperate.
There are portraits of the top ten people on the Tianhua List, and this person's appearance is almost exactly the same as the temperament and appearance of the peerless genius who is ranked third on the Tianhua List.
The chief disciple of Gui Yi Sect, "Xu Yuan" Lu Shijie!
Third on the Tianhua Ranking, he is at the peak of his innate nature, has half-step magical power, and is one of the three most powerful sects in the world. He once competed with masters of magical powers and escaped unscathed.
This kind of master, even if Zhu Hong, the leader of the True Heart Sect, is wearing thunder and fire golden armor, he may not be his opponent.
Such a person actually came to arrest them in person, which was like the imperial court's magical crossbow used to kill mosquitoes.
The resistance that was still there at first collapsed instantly.
How can they compete against such masters?!
Lu Shijie didn't say anything, he just stood there, under the moonlight, looking down at everyone like a god.
But the next moment.
Buzz!
Everyone felt a huge shock in their brains and bodies, and the feeling of imitation in everything became more and more serious. In the end, even Lu Shijie in front of them started to imitate themselves.
They know it very well, but if their consciousness is completely lost, they will fall into a coma and be slaughtered by others.
The opponent didn't take action at all, but they were unable to resist. How could such an opponent possibly escape now?
"Zhao Xing, leave quickly!
"
He Xijun felt that his consciousness was getting more and more blurred. He gritted his teeth, reached out and took out a jade pendant from his arms. Blood was forced out of his fingertips in an instant, infecting the jade pendant, completely activating it.
Buzz!
This was her family heirloom and a trump card to save her life. Originally, she might have had a chance to escape with this item, but now, she chose to leave this opportunity to Zhao Xuanqi.
After all, I am your senior sister. I promised you that I would protect you, and I, He Xijun, will not break my promise!
