As the night deepens
With a thought, the jade pendant emitted a brilliant light. In merely an instant, an illusionary divine text was hooked. The world shook invisibly. A figure of 'Xiao Yan' walked out of the void and firmly landed beside Xiao Yan.'Xiao Yan' smiled at Xiao Yan, who had already concealed his body. Faint symbols flashed across his eyes. They were extremely agile and did not lose out to Xiao Yan's form, actions, and aura.
Xiao Yan sized him up from head to toe. It was as if he was made from the same mold. He felt at ease when he saw this. The Dou Qi on his body circulated and the ancient ring hanging in front of his chest emitted a ripple. Xiao Yan's body disappeared from his original spot like a phantom. When 'Xiao Yan' saw Xiao Yan leave, he also returned to the bed and directly pulled up the quilt. He did not do anything unnecessary in order to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion.
Without the slightest obstruction, Xiao Yan passed through many walls and fences like a ghost. He passed through other people's houses and most of them had already fallen asleep. However, he could still see some energetic people with two figures entangled on top of them. The music was deafening and the moans were endlessly charming, causing Xiao Yan to feel extremely embarrassed. His speed increased a little.
In just a moment, he had reached the tall tower in front of him. He leaped up like a bird, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He landed steadily on the top of the tallest building in Wu Tan City and sat cross-legged on it.
Borrowing the cover of the jade pendant, a powerful Spiritual Strength appeared to spill endlessly into the city. Circle after circle of substantial ripples spread out from Xiao Yan. All the information that he had come into contact with was completely reflected back.
While no one was noticing, Xiao Yan could see everything in the city. However, he could sense that it was as usual. There was no strange occurrence. He could even see the people from the Xiao clan patrolling. The three of them formed a team and took turns in each street. Their expressions were very serious. Clearly, they had also received some news. The guards were generally at the 4th or 5th Duan Qi. The youngest was at least thirteen years old.
There seemed to be quite a number of high level Dou Zhi Qi cultivators among them. According to the rules of the Xiao family, they should be the leader of a small team. However, there were also a few high level Dou Zhi Qi cultivators who were lying in their rooms and were quite lazy. Some of them took the opportunity to play and forgot their own duties. Seeing this, Xiao Yan could not help but sigh.
Xiao Yan's legs had already become somewhat numb after a night of squatting. He could even see the eastern fish white from where he was standing. Although there was still a long time before everyone would wake up from their deep sleep, the shadow had withdrawn and the hiding place had also decreased. It was likely that no one would attack at this moment.
Xiao Yan hammered his somewhat numb legs and stood up with difficulty. He once again looked around Zhou City, but there was still not the slightest abnormality. However, just as he was about to return, a Dou Qi suddenly swiftly disappeared from his perception. The speed at which it disappeared caused one's hair to stand on end. What was even more surprising was that Xiao Yan's perception did not discover the existence of another person at the place where it had disappeared.
"Little Flame, southeast direction, quick.”Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan had left his original spot the moment Yao Lao shouted out his words. He was just like a ghost as he repeatedly flashed to the top of the surrounding buildings. When he arrived at his destination, he could see three ice-cold bodies that did not have the slightest sign of life lying deep within the shadows. There was also a mysterious person hidden in the shadows.
The mysterious person did not discover Xiao Yan's existence. Xiao Yan could only hear some laughter within it. It was cold and icy, but it was blurry and unclear. It was impossible for one to tell his age. It was unexpected that the other party did not forget to put on a disguise even after he had succeeded.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was unable to sense the details within. It was as though he had been isolated. The other party was even relying on the darkness to conceal his appearance, causing one to be unable to look at his face. All Xiao Yan could hear was the two words 'Dou Zhe.'
Although Xiao Yan was unable to sense any mystery within it, he was still able to know the exact location. Immediately, the Dou Qi in his entire body was withdrawn. The tip of his finger revealed a little sharpness. He flicked his finger repeatedly and a couple of wisps of Dou Qi energy shot out. Each of them had the strength to seriously injure an initial Dou Zhe.
"Eh?"
The sudden attack surprised the mysterious person hiding in it. The dim light emitted by the dark red energy dispelled the surrounding darkness. A blurry figure could be seen walking with mysterious footwork. Her body was soft and spinning, as graceful as a swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon. It was as if the light clouds covered the moon, and it was also like the snow returning to the wind. It was unpredictable.
Although Xiao Yan had casually waved the energy earlier and the arrangement was not compact, its speed was not much slower. With the strength of an initial Dou Zhe, it was impossible for him to dodge it. However, the other party was able to dodge it cleverly under such circumstances, causing Xiao Yan and Yao Lao to be a little stunned. It was so light and agile, like a moon in a mirror, appearing extremely unreal.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not dare to be careless. His sword finger pointed at the empty spot and Dou Qi flowed like rain. It was disorderly in front, back, left, and right. At the same time, his body was erratic as he fled into the forest. There were no traces left as he attacked from different directions.
The other party was unable to escape from this lightning. Just like before, he cleverly avoided it without suffering the slightest injury. However, Xiao Yan could clearly sense that the Dou Qi that he had struck out was becoming more and more complicated as the illusory figure that the other party stepped out from became more and more complicated. The energy that was being drained from the other party's shoulder became more and more obvious. From within, the panting of the mysterious person carried an indescribable excitement.
Once again, he swung out a piece of Dou Qi cloth. The sound of it rumbled. This level was not something that an early stage Dou Zhe could dodge.
However, the mysterious person did not seem to hear this. He leaped forward in an attempt to forcefully block Xiao Yan's attack.
However, what caused Xiao Yan to be stunned was that the other party was actually able to break through in an instant at this moment. An aura that far exceeded that from earlier erupted from the mysterious person's body.
touch
A burst of wind blew and the mysterious person took advantage of the opportunity to fly back. Xiao Yan gently pressed on the ground and was about to catch up when he saw both of his hands flying. His hands gently clenched and changed. It was as if he could see a sharp weapon shooting out. The surrounding shrubs instantly fell and blocked Xiao Yan's path.
Xiao Yan directly passed through the shrubs, only to discover that the other party's figure was no longer behind him. His Spiritual Strength, which had once again spread, had returned without any results. He leaped a couple of times and observed his surroundings from the roof. However, there was no particularly suspicious movement or any figure that was hastily fleeing.
"Teacher, can you sense it?”Xiao Yan felt a little helpless. He had been too careless from the start. From the other party's words, he had determined that he was a Dou Zhe and did not have any intention of killing him. He had been so easily tricked by the other party. Now, he could only place his hopes on Yao Lao.
"No, this person is experienced in his actions and did not leave any traces behind. He is also a dangerous person who would not waver in the face of a powerful enemy. Little Yan Zi, if you use this kind of mentality to deal with such an enemy again, you should also be aware of the consequences.”Yao Lao's sigh also sounded.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment. He nodded his head with some guilt. He looked around on the roof for a long time and gave up the search after discovering that it was still the same.
Xiao Yan landed on the three people who had died earlier. He placed his hand on the other party's body and covered it with a jade pendant. The ancient ring once again emitted a bright light. An invisible force followed Xiao Yan's arm and entered it. Soon after, Xiao Yan shut his eyes. His brows swelled and the enormous Spiritual Strength that lingered in this place also surged into it.
"My meridians aren't damaged, but my dantian is in a mess. My body is weak, my soul is damaged, and my Dou Qi has been sucked out of my body.。。。Did he use the method of the Hall of Souls?" Xiao Yan opened his eyes. There was some surprise between his brows.
Xiao Yan stood up and once again inspected the two corpses by the side. The result was the same.
"The Hall of Souls has existed since ancient times. It is mysterious and unfathomable. Its secret techniques have been passed down for countless years, but they have never been leaked out. It should not be possible for others to obtain them. Moreover, the techniques hidden within them are based on the soul. If it was someone from the Hall of Souls, they would disdain such a weak soul given their arrogance.。。。。。。。Judging from the residual Qi, the flow of Dou Qi is very mysterious, and the method of extracting it is extremely overbearing. I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a thing. There are many strange things on this continent, but it seems that I am ignorant.”Yao Lao's voice also sounded out. There was no lack of shock and emotion within it.
Xiao Yan nodded. He turned his head and looked at the cut surface of the broken wood. It was smooth and even. However, he discovered that there seemed to be a faint water stain. Dou Qi was attached to both of his hands as he hung this drop of water in his hands and allowed his spirit to seep into it.
"Sweat stains." Xiao Yan looked at the water droplet in his hand strangely. He pondered for a long time but was unable to think of a reason.
However, a playful thought appeared in his mind."Could it be that Tang San is still alive? Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Tang Sect's hidden weapon technique?”
Just as Xiao Yan was using the jade pendant to erase his traces, a young man was lying motionless in a simple room. Beside him was an unmoving body.
The young man's eyes sparkled. The hidden danger was no longer there, so he let out a sigh of relief. He then glanced at the person beside him indifferently. The person's face was filled with fear, but he could not move or speak. It was as if he was frozen.
The young soldier didn't waste any more time. He put his hand on the other party's neck with his knife. At the same time, he shook his arm and a force invaded his body. The other party gradually lost his life.
The blood on his palm dripped onto the corpse. The blood fountain was obviously not just recently injured. The burning pain made the young man frown."He should have left. Who is this person?”
"If it weren't for that bastard Yan Suchuo, I wouldn't have stayed in this place for so many years.”
"The situation is getting more and more unfavorable for me now. Even Xiao Yichen has appeared in the Xiao family. It seems that I can only take the risk and do that side quest. I have to increase my strength as soon as possible.”The young man's somewhat cold gaze looked in the direction of the Xiao family, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
