The night was already very late when Qin Yun walked out of the auction house.
A crescent moon hung high in the blue sky, casting a cold glow on Heishanfang City. Most of the tents around Heishanfang City had been closed down, and only a few of them still had their lights on.
Those attending the auction on horses or carriages quickly left one after another. The crisp sound of the horses' hooves hitting the hard bluestone pavement spread far away. Not long after they left, everything returned to silence.
The streets were empty and there were no pedestrians in sight. The shops on both sides of the streets had long been closed. A few beggars were huddled on the street corners and they didn't know whether they were alive or not. Occasionally, the barking of a wild dog could be heard.
Qin Yun walked back to the hotel alone and walked through the long street. He could clearly feel the coveted eyes cast from the dark alley.
Heishanfang City, a mixed city of good and bad, has never been a place of peace. It is common for people to die or a few people to disappear here. Even the disciples of the sect have some crazy people who dare to plot.
The Jianzong disciple who sold the inside information of Fangshi to Qin Yun had repeatedly warned him that he must first protect his own safety in Heishanfangshi.
But Qin Yun has no fear in his heart. With his current strength, unless there is an innate-level strongman, he will be able to protect himself even if he loses. And it is impossible for an innately strong person to be so wretched as to hide in an alley and beat him up.
He walked leisurely through the long street. The lurkers in the darkness may have been interested, but no one really dared to jump out and block the way.
Those who live at the bottom often have amazing intuitions because the stupid guys are already dead.
But when Qin Yun came to the door of Yuelai Inn, he suddenly felt like a thorn in his vest behind him, and he was frightened.
He suddenly turned around and saw a figure flashing past the alley not far away and disappearing in an instant.
Where did the monster come from! A sharp light flashed in Qin Yun's eyes.
At that moment, he clearly felt a strong murderous intention directed at him. The other party did not look like an ordinary robber or ruffian!
The problem is that this is Qin Yun's first time in Heishanfang City. He has no enemies here at all. If the other party just wants to steal money, how could he have such a fierce murderous intention?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Qin Yun's mind. He quietly entered the inn and went back to his room to rest.
But in his heart, Qin Yun was greatly alert.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Qin Yun left Yuelai Inn with Sun Chengdong and his grandson. But he did not go to Xuanwu City immediately.
He rented a carriage from a carriage shop east of Fangshi and hired someone to take his grandfather and grandson to a small town two hundred miles away, not far from Xuanwu City.
It is definitely not possible to enter Xuanwu City directly as two people. We have to wait for Qin Yun to return before making arrangements.
After seeing them off, Qin Yun went to the large auction house in the center of the city again.
This time he paid close attention and finally found two people following him.
The other party's tracking and monitoring capabilities are very strong and careful. If Qin Yun hadn't been careful, it would have been difficult to detect.
It is said that there is a group of people in Heishanfang City who make a living by gangsterism and robbery. They are familiar with the environment around Heishanfang City. They are so strong and ruthless that even the disciples of the sect have suffered great losses at their hands.
The most important thing is that these people usually hide so deeply that it is difficult for ordinary people to discover their existence, so they often fall into their hands inadvertently.
Qin Yun didn't know what made the other party stare at him, but there was no doubt that danger was approaching.
When faced with a threat, his best choice is to contact several fellow disciples in Heishanfang City and return to the mountain gate together. The reputation of the Tiancheng Sword Sect and the strength of the group are enough to make the opponent afraid to take action.
But Qin Yun also planned to do this.
He walked around the large auction house several times and exchanged five hundred spiritual jade for eight pieces of high-grade fire jade from a merchant. He also bought some materials for refining talismans and did not leave until near noon.
After leaving Heishanfang City, Qin Yun headed straight towards Xuanwu City and soon disappeared into the vast plains.
About half a mile behind Qin Yun, a group of five people were chasing him along the road he passed.
The leader of the five was a one-eyed man. He wore short black and brown animal skin armor, his arms were tangled with muscles, and he carried a long-handled sword on his back. His face with a black beard was full of toughness.
The most impressive thing is that his remaining right eye shines fiercely like a hungry wolf!
The other four people were three swordsmen in green and a tough little young man. The latter was wearing a gray uniform and carrying a short crossbow and holding a dagger. He was obviously a thief who was good at walking in the dark.
The little thief followed the one-eyed man with his eyes wandering and worried: "Boss, do we really want to kill him? That's a disciple of Tiancheng Sword Sect!"
"That's right!" the one-eyed man said in a deep voice: "After this, we seven brothers can wash our hands and live a comfortable life for the rest of our lives!"
"I'm also afraid of the Tiancheng Sword Sect, but we can go to Dongteng and Qinglan. No matter how powerful the Tiancheng Sword Sect is, can they still find us? Besides, this guy is just an outer disciple and will not attract the Sword Sect to mobilize its troops."
The thief nodded and his eyes became much firmer: "I listen to you, boss!"
"That's right!" The one-eyed man laughed: "We seven brothers live and die together, and we are all together, and we can beg a few women to live up to the landlord's life. Wouldn't it be fun!"
"Yes, it's the most enjoyable to follow the boss!"
"Boss is right, we are afraid of birds!"
"That guy probably has a lot of stuff. He really made a fortune this time!"
Several other swordsmen and guests boosted their morale and sped up to follow the one-eyed man closely.
The thief quickly glanced around and suppressed his excitement and said: "We are almost there. We have to speed up and don't let that kid get away!"
The one-eyed man nodded and said with a ferocious smile: "Don't worry, Lao Wu and Lao Liu will be guarding the front today. Even if that kid gets his wings, he won't be able to escape from the clutches of our Seven Evil Heavens!"
A few hundred steps ahead, Qin Yun was walking through a dense forest.
After coming out of Heishanfang City, he discovered the pursuer following him.
However, there was no horse chasing them, so Qin Yun led them forward calmly until they entered the woods.
This is the only way to Xuanwu City. There is a shortcut over the hill in front that leads directly to the Jianzong Mountain Gate.
He was keenly aware of the danger and it was undoubtedly a good choice to join the enemy in ambush and intercept the woods.
Qin Yun suddenly accelerated his forward speed. At the same time, he activated the small magical power of Wisdom and Insight, and his perception ability suddenly increased significantly. He was able to grasp all the movements within dozens of steps in the surrounding forest!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, two feathered arrows shot out from the dense forest like lightning, attacking Qin Yun from both sides. The arrows pierced the air and made a shuddering hiss.
The sneak attackers were all veterans. They cooperated very well with each other and accurately calculated Qin Yun's front and rear positions. The surprise attack was extremely threatening.
However, Qin Yun was already on guard. The moment the arrows approached, his body flashed forward and he swept more than ten steps forward. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable that the two arrows were shot in vain!
The two sneak attackers reacted very quickly, and then they fired seven or eight feather arrows in succession to pursue Qin Yun!
Just because of this ability, he was a top-notch marksman among the legions of the Yan Dynasty.
However, all the arrows were in vain because Qin Yun kept moving faster and used the trees to dodge left and right, not only dodged them all, but also opened up a distance of dozens of steps.
This was completely beyond the expectations of the two archers.
Their mission was to intercept and attack Qin Yun in the woods. Even if they could not kill Qin Yun on the spot, they would still intercept him here and wait for his companions to surround him.
The two of them were even prepared to face Qin Yun's fierce counterattack.
However, Qin Yun's Qinggong escape speed was beyond imagination and he had no intention of quarreling with them and just escaped.
Seeing that the target was about to disappear deep into the jungle, the two archers couldn't help but become anxious and at the same time sprang out from their hiding places and chased forward.
One of the archers also made a shrill whistle to send a message to his companions behind.
Their light skills were not weak either, and they were able to maintain a full-speed pursuit on par with Qin Yun. The two sides were less than forty steps apart and were chasing each other quickly.
Less than two hundred steps away, when he heard the sound of howling, the one-eyed man's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, that kid is trying to escape from Lao Wu and Lao Liu. We have to speed up, Lao Qi, you go first!"
"good!"
The thief agreed cleanly, accelerated, passed the one-eyed man, and plunged into the dense forest.
The thief's light skill is the strongest among the seven. As long as he rushes to cooperate with the two archers to entangle the four people behind Qin Yun and then rush to surround him, they can kill him in one fell swoop.
But the two archers chasing Qin Yun were far from optimistic.
At the beginning, the two of them were still wearing Qin Yun.
However, after chasing for only a hundred steps, they gradually lost track of Qin Yun's figure. Even if they spent all their energy to activate their body skills, the distance between them and Qin Yun was still getting farther and farther.
However, in half a stick of incense, the huge woods were left behind, and low rolling hills appeared in front of them.
The two archers stopped not because they were unable to continue chasing, but because they completely lost Qin Yun in pursuit!
The two were greatly frustrated. One of the archers spat thick phlegm on the ground and cursed: "Why the hell did you run so fast!"
Qin Yun's running away meant that their mission was a complete failure. Of course, he felt extremely depressed when he saw the generous bonus slip away under his nose.
"Let's go and meet the boss first..." Another archer shook his head helplessly: "We will think of a solution later."
call out!
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of bright sword energies suddenly burst out from the trees not far away! (This site...your support is my greatest motivation.)
