Chapter 40: Pursuit

After returning from the Marshal's Mansion, Master Ji has been sitting quietly in the house, but today he always feels a little uneasy, as if something is about to happen.

Immortal cultivators often have some strange feelings happening to themselves, and if they are advanced immortal cultivators, they can even sense some things in the future.

But he didn't know what would happen. Li Yan and Chen An went to the city, which is also a common thing recently, so he didn't think about it, but just felt his mood fluctuating. Just when he was uneasy, he suddenly felt something, and his consciousness probed outside, and found that it was Chen An and Li Yin who rushed in. He just scanned one and didn't take it to heart.

Although there has never been such a situation before, Li Yan often ordered Chen An and Li Yin to bring things into the valley when he came back from outside recently. He thought that Chen An and Li Yin were forced by Li Yan to rush into the valley to do something. But later, he stood up. The two went into the house for a while and then came out again. They didn't say anything and looked extremely anxious. Until this time, Li Yan didn't follow him in. This phenomenon had never happened before.

Ji Junshi's heart sank. After he stood up, he came to the valley entrance in a flash. He looked around but didn't see Li Yan. He scanned again with his spiritual sense uncertainly, but still didn't see him. At that moment, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger. He came to Li Yan's house silently in a flash.

Chen An and Li Yin suddenly heard someone asking questions, and the voice was very familiar. They trembled and turned around with an ugly face. They saw Ji Junshi looking at them with a gloomy face. The two of them knelt down and kowtowed.

"I'm asking you questions, where is Li Yan?" Ji Junshi's voice came coldly, without a trace of emotion, but it made people feel cold all over in this early summer evening.

"Sir, the young master is lost." Li Yin just lay on the ground, biting his lips tightly, and Chen An could only stammer.

"Lost?" After hearing this, Ji Junshi said word by word.

"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? What are you doing there? Are you going to have a drink with Liu Chengyong? Tell me about what happened today in detail." Ji Junshi's voice became even colder, and Chen An and Li Yin felt as if they were freezing in the cold weather.

After a while, Ji Junshi stood outside the stone house in a black robe as the night was about to fall. Chen An had finished his details at this time, and the two of them were still lying on the ground, not daring to speak again.

After standing for a while, the two suddenly felt the pressure reduced. When they looked up again, they had lost the figure of Ji Junshi in front of them.

Ji Junshi was moving quickly through the forest, thinking quickly in his mind. He didn't know what doubts Li Yan had found? Only then did he finally decide to escape from here. He sorted out everything that had happened since Li Yan entered the valley, but he didn't find any omissions. After thinking for a while, he still had no clue, but he was sure that today's incident must be related to Hong Linying, otherwise Li Yan would not have chosen to get rid of Chen and Li in the military camp. And he happened to be called by Hong Linying today. All these things were definitely not coincidences, but were planned.

And these show that Li Yan had discovered something wrong for a while, otherwise how could he have made these plans in a hurry? It was really a good plan.

Even he didn't know anything.

As for why Hong Linying was willing to help Li Yan, he didn't even need to think about it. That martial arts fanatic must want to get the so-called "martial arts secrets" from Li Yan. He thought while running quickly, and after a while, he had roughly thought about the cause of the matter.

After a while, he saw the north gate from a distance. He did not choose to enter from the gate, but when he was close to the north gate, he went into the forest on the west side. After entering the forest, he scurried to the ridge connected to the west side of the city wall. He planned to cross the city wall from the ridge. This was impossible in the martial arts world of today. It was not that he could not go up the mountain, but how could he not make a sound when going down the mountain? There would be rows of strong crossbows coming towards him.

But the figure of the military division was like a ghost floating in the mountains. It took only a dozen breaths to rise to the top of the ridge. Without stopping, he instantly went down the other side of the ridge. On the mountain wall, an almost invisible black projectile was seen bouncing between the treetops and the rock wall. It did not cause any stones to fall into the soil and roll down. It seemed to have no weight at all.

After a few breaths, he had reached the top of the city wall that was dozens of feet high. He disappeared on the city wall in a flash, but the patrol soldiers on the city were unaware of it.

Military Advisor Ji rushed between the houses in the city. His goal was the Marshal's Mansion. He believed that since Hong Linying had done this, Li Yan must be under his control. Therefore, Chen An's words about Li Yan leaving the city at the north gate might not be credible. With Hong Linying's means and power, what would it mean to let the gatekeepers tell a lie? In this way, Hong Linying must hide Li Yan in a safe place, and there should be only two safe places, one is the Marshal's Mansion in Qingshanai City, and the other is in the garrison camp dozens of miles away.

Hong Linying should still keep Li Yan in his hands and under his nose, so the probability of hiding in the Marshal's Mansion in the city is greater than the garrison camp. Therefore, his primary target is the Marshal's Mansion.

These thoughts were only considered by him when he left the valley after listening to Chen An's words. It can be said that this military advisor Ji has a very meticulous and terrifying mind. The cause and effect of the matter, in this short period of time, can be said to be close to the truth of the matter, but his focus is still on the wrong object, he ignored Li Yan's leading power in this matter. In his mind, Li Yan must have found something wrong, but he couldn't escape with his ability, but Hong Linying was always looking for an opportunity to get the "martial arts secret book". I don't know under what circumstances the two of them agreed on some plans, and Hong Linying took the opportunity to control Li Yan.

His idea can't be said to be wrong. Anyone who treats a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child without power and influence will ignore the possibility that he can take the initiative.

Soon, military advisor Ji came to the back door of the Marshal's Mansion. It was already dark at this time. He didn't stop, but his figure flashed and disappeared into it, as if he had returned to his home.

Soon he quietly walked around the Marshal's Mansion. He had already detected all the houses and found nothing unusual. This was within his expectations. If he could find someone so easily, then Hong Linying was too stupid.

He just didn't want to make a mistake that he shouldn't have made because of his carelessness. After walking around, he also identified several suspicious places. The rest was to carefully explore these places. After all, he was only at the third level of the Condensation Stage. His spiritual sense could not detect more than ten feet and could not scan a large area.

There were three suspicious places. One was a dark room behind the lobby; the second was a secret passage in the garden behind the back door leading to the back door; the third was a secret room under the wing room on the east side of the backyard. With the determined range, he searched one by one.

Soon he flashed out from the lobby. There was no one in the dark room behind the lobby. After the spiritual sense detected no one, he even went in and searched around, but found no clues.

After a few breaths, he had come to the east side of the backyard, hiding in the shadow of the corridor. He concentrated and held his breath, then released his spiritual sense to scan the house. He had no scruples in this Qingshan Pass. In all these years, he had never found a cultivator, so no one could recognize his spiritual sense. After exploring the house, there was no one in the house. He walked out of the shadows and slowly pushed the door open.

After entering the house, he quickly found the entrance to the secret room, sat cross-legged on the ground, and released his spiritual sense to explore the entrance again.

His spiritual sense range was too small. When he was outside the house, he could only detect that there was a secret room underground in the house, but he could not see the whole picture, so he had to make sure that there was no one in the house before approaching to explore again.

Soon, his face moved, his eyebrows jumped, and he smiled. The secret room was not big. He found that there were indeed two people in the secret room. However, his face soon became gloomy. Li Yan was not there. It was Hong Linying and another person. However, he knew that person. He often pretended to be mysterious and hid in the dark room in the hall of the back mansion. His aura was not weaker than Hong Linying. He was also a top master in the world. He just pretended not to know. He didn't care if there were more people like this.

However, at this time, the two of them were just sitting on a cushion in this secret room, and they should be practicing.

In this way, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Hong Linying didn't bring Li Yan with him, or put Li Yan somewhere else to be watched. He didn't delay, put away his consciousness, got up and went to the back garden. ????

After he left, a long time later, Hong Linying, who was lying on the mat in the secret room, suddenly opened his eyes, and his half-clenched fist on his knees slowly loosened. It was the small porcelain bottle. At this time, a faint sound of collision came from the bottle. After looking at the small bottle, he said, "He has gone far away."

The big man also opened his eyes at this time, and also looked at the porcelain bottle. "Brother, Ji Wenhe came here at this time. Could it be for that kid?"

Hong Linying pondered for a while and said, "At this time, it should be."

Then the big man said, "Fortunately, there is this thing, otherwise Ji Wenhe's light skill is too powerful, and neither of us would notice it. I really don't know how that kid put this thing on Ji Wenhe, but he didn't notice it."

Hong Linying also looked solemn. After hearing this, he didn't answer. After a long time, he said, "Ji Wenhe's martial arts have reached the highest level. He can actually be in the largest Marshal's Mansion. Later, he found this place, and it was really there. We can only judge his arrival and distance from the intensity of this thing's reaction. The fluctuation was very small at the beginning, and it became larger and larger at the end, which shows that Ji Wenhe used his internal force to explore, advancing bit by bit, and finally explored here. His skills are really admirable. And the reason why he didn't come down later may be that he didn't find out that Li Yan was here; at the same time, he thought we didn't know yet, so it was just right to do things quietly. "

After hearing this, the big man was a little doubtful and said, "Brother, if you say that his internal force can already detect the general situation through objects, it is still possible, but if you say that he can also detect that there is a person in this secret room, this is impossible. "

Hong Linying looked thoughtful, and after a while he said, "It is still possible. When the internal force reaches a certain level, although it is impossible to detect who the other party is through the object, it can still detect the other party's breathing, breath, etc., and then infer the other party's situation. "

The big man nodded silently after hearing this. "So, it's a good thing that my senior brother saw the opportunity early and took the bottle in his hand, using his power to block the sound. Otherwise, he would have heard the sound of the collision, and he would have most likely discovered that something was wrong with himself. However, today's incident, just his ability to track, the use of this skill is really wonderful." Hong Linying also nodded after hearing this. "We also tried to run this skill just now. Although there was no reaction, we can confirm that it is a mental method for sensing the vitality between heaven and earth. The method here is extremely clever, and it is incomparable to any mental method I have seen. I think it should be a real mental method, but it is best to get the full version, so that we can really compare it." "In this case, shall we go there at the agreed time?" The big man said with anticipation. He saw the wonders of Master Ji's skills again tonight, and he could no longer suppress his eagerness. Hong Linying was still a little hesitant. He took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was a piece of paper from the letter that Li Yan had given him. He read it over and over again for a while, and finally folded it slowly, put it in his arms with great care, looked up at the big man, and slowly said, "Then let's go as agreed. This is a good opportunity after all. As for that kid, I will slowly deal with him after this."

After hearing this, the big man said solemnly, "Brother, with our current martial arts, we are still not sure about dealing with Ji Wenhe."

He swept away his previous views on Ji Wenhe. He only came here a few years ago, so he had never seen Ji Wenhe show his martial arts. He just heard about it. In the past, he thought that his brother and many other men in the army exaggerated Ji Wenhe's martial arts, and he was still dissatisfied in his heart. But today, he was bullied by others and he didn't know it. If he didn't happen to do something to the other party, he would not know how he died.

After hearing this, Hong Linying smiled, and her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. She then used the method of "transmitting sound into the secret" to tell him something.

After a few dozen breaths, the big man also showed a happy expression, "Brother, your method is really feasible."
