Chapter 24: Escape Begins
However, as soon as Li Lao left Jixian County on the front foot, a group of black-clothed people followed behind, all of whom were covered with black cloths, leaving only a pair of murderous eyes, with various swords and sharp weapons on their bodies, the purpose was very obvious, that is, to chase Li Lone's direction.

Although Li Lao left Jixian County one step ahead of them, the foals under him were just ordinary horses, and the black-clothed people in the rear, all of them rode unicorns, and they definitely threw Li Lao a few streets behind in terms of speed.
Only a quarter of an hour had passed, Li Lao heard the movement behind him, his heart shook suddenly, he turned his head to look behind, and a murderous aura aimed at him was gradually approaching.
And the speed of the other party is obviously twice as fast as his own. If you continue like this, you will inevitably be chased.
There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and in Li Lone's mental induction, among these people, the lowest cultivation is a little higher than himself.
If he was surrounded by them, even if he was a Formation Spirit Master, it would be absolutely difficult to escape.
Li Lao's mind turned sharply, observing the surrounding environment left and right, and in the line of sight in front of him, there was a small forest.
It happened to be night at the moment, and Li Lao was dressed in black again, which just gave him a chance to escape.
Although he knew in advance that this trip would be dangerous, Li Liao didn't expect the other party's appetite to be so big. He waited until he got the things before he did it, and the purpose was self-evident.
Aren't you afraid that you will be found out by Qingfeng Gate afterwards and lead to the disaster of annihilation?
But the most dangerous thing in this matter is himself.
Riding their horses all the way in the direction of the grove, the group of people behind also sensed Li Lao's intentions, but they were not worried. Judging from this speed, Li Lao will be intercepted by them before he enters the grove, and the other party will not be able to escape when the time comes.
In front of the grove, there was a small hill, which was not high, and the horses galloped over it in only three breaths.
And when he passed the small hill, Li Lao decisively jumped off the horse, and tied a black thing to the horse's back, which looked like he was lying on the horse's back when viewed from a distance.
This thing was prepared by him in the past when he was on a mission, in order to cope with such a time. By the time the other party caught up with him and realized that something was wrong, he had already fled from other routes.
However, even under Li Lone's stealing of beams and pillars, it is difficult to get rid of this crisis.
The best way is to return to Jixian County, stay in the sect's stronghold, and then send a message to the sect, even if the other party wants to attack, I believe that the strength of the stronghold is enough to deal with it.
Jixian County is very short away from the sect, as long as the news is spread, I believe that it will only take half a day for the door to send people to come, and then that group of people will naturally be in trouble.
No matter how bad it is, there are many people in Jixian County, and if he hides in with Li Lone's means, it will be difficult for the other party to find him for a while.
However, if Li Lao ran back at this time, he would definitely not be able to escape from Jixian County.
From leaving Jixian County, all the way here, Li Lao has already ridden out of Wuli, and the distance of these five miles is a plain, even if Li Lao is dressed in black, it is almost impossible to sneak back to Jixian County without the other party noticing.
Therefore, Li Lao decisively gave up the idea of returning to Jixian County.
Then Li Lao only has two choices now.
There is a small forest in front, but on the left, it is a chaotic stone forest, and the best plan at this moment should be to hide in the chaotic stone forest.
By the time the group found out that there was no Li Lonely, it was estimated that he had successfully entered the chaotic stone forest, and then they would have the opportunity to deal with him.
However, after Li Lao jumped off the horse, he galloped quickly to the left, until he had run four or five hundred meters, and then changed his direction and rushed quickly in the direction of the grove.
Along the way, Li Lao was cautious, for fear of exposing his traces, and sneaked forward with the unique body method of the killer organization.
At this time, the horses had already surpassed Li Lone, getting closer and closer to the grove, and the group behind them was also very close.
Suddenly, one of the masked men in black waved his right hand, and a hidden weapon directly hit the black shadow on the horse's back, but just as a dark smile appeared in the other party's eyes, the other man in black next to him sensed that something was wrong.
The hidden weapon entered the human body, no matter how strong the person was, it was impossible not to even say a word, and that sound was obviously not the sound of the hidden weapon piercing the human body.
hurriedly spoke up at the moment: "It's not good, we have fallen into the plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain." ā
At this time, there was already a person taking the lead, rushing to Li Lao's horse, and grabbed the black shadow on the horse's back, this person only felt that his hand was light, and he easily picked up the black shadow, and he didn't know that he was fooled.
"It's fake, that kid is long gone on horseback. ā
At this point, everyone paused, and everyone's faces were covered with black cloths, and although they couldn't see their faces, they certainly wouldn't look good.
At this time, the leader's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice to everyone: "Go back immediately, that kid must have jumped off the horse on the small hill just now, and now he will definitely find some clues when he goes back." In addition, send two people all the way back to Jixian County, and if you find that kid's figure, send a signal immediately. Although it is unlikely that he will choose to go back, he will have to guard against it. ā
The other person nodded lightly, and pointed to two of the black-clothed people with his right hand, and the two of them immediately set off and took the lead in returning in the direction of Jixian.
The rest of the people urged the unicorn under them to the location of the small hill, and after a while, they found the trace of Li Lone's jumping off the horse.
Looking up at the chaotic stone forest in the distance, the black-clothed man in the lead obviously had a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "Chase!"
A group of people, the target is the chaotic stone forest.
And when the group of black-clothed people found that something was wrong and chased back, Li Lao lay motionless on the ground, until a group of people chased in the direction of the chaotic stone forest, Li Lao cautiously squatted up, glanced at the group of black-clothed people from a distance, and immediately continued to sneak in the direction of the grove.
It wasn't until Li Lao actually entered the grove that the gang in black vaguely noticed that something was wrong.
"Stop!"
The man in black in the lead shouted, took the lead in reining in the horse's rope, and paused.
"Fourth Elder, what's wrong?" asked one of the people beside him, puzzled. It's almost time to enter the Stone Forest, why did it suddenly stop.
The black-clothed man in the lead looked at him suspiciously, and then glanced back, then carefully looked at the horse, and finally swept his gaze at the location of the chaotic stone forest, and finally fixed on the small forest behind.
Suddenly, the man in black laughed at himself, and although the laughter was ridiculous, it was extremely eerie, as if it carried a monstrous killing intent.
"What a cunning boy, he can make the old man win such a succession of schemes, and he is the first one in these years. ā
Hearing this, the person next to him was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Fourth Elder, could it be that this kid didn't escape into the Chaotic Stone Forest at all?"
The man in black, known as the Fourth Elder, snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it obvious? From the beginning of the trail to the present, haven't you noticed that there are still some footprints in addition to the first five hundred meters, and the further back there is, there is no trace at all? From the beginning, we were deceived by him, and after thinking about it, he was indeed the most likely to escape into this chaotic stone forest, but this kid did the opposite. ā
"Did he flee back in the direction of Jixian?"
The fourth elder shook his head slightly and said, "Impossible." With his cleverness, he should have known that if he went back at this time, he would definitely die. And the two people sent back have not given a signal, apparently no trace of the kid has been found. ā
"And where else can that kid run to?"
The Fourth Elder sneered and said, "Where do you think you can escape? We were originally chasing in that direction." ā
The man in black was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the grove, his cruel gaze suddenly froze, and said, "The fourth elder said that from the beginning, the direction of that kid was the grove. Yes, when we found out that something was wrong on horseback, we thought that the other party had fled in other directions, but we did not think that he would continue to flee in the direction of the grove. It's a good strategy. ā
At this time, another man in black hurriedly said, "Since it has been determined that he ran to the grove, why don't you chase him as soon as possible?"
The four elders looked in the direction of the grove and said, "Because I'm giving him time to escape." ā
The man looked puzzled and scratched his head, obviously not quite understanding the intention of the four elders.
The man in black who told Li Lone's plan at the beginning cast a stupid look at him. He immediately asked softly to the four elders, "The four elders want to catch turtles in the urn?"
The Fourth Elder shook his head and chuckled, "I wish he had escaped from the grove." ā
The man immediately reacted, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, I hope he has escaped from the grove at this moment." ā
The four elders suddenly stared at each other and said in a loud voice, "Send two people to go around the back of the grove, and if you find any trace of that kid, immediately send a signal." The others went into the grove with the old man and searched carefully. As soon as anyone finds a trace, a signal is immediately given. Do you understand everything?"
"Yes!"
At this time, as long as the brain is not stupid, they can already understand why the four elders hope that the kid has escaped from the grove.
The grove was not wide, and behind it was a plain, and if the boy had fled, he would have nothing to hide, unless he lay still.
If you are still in the grove, you have to send someone to search for it, which is time-consuming and laborious.
However, as long as he is still in the grove, he will not escape the clutches of the devil under careful search.
At this time, everyone was also slightly surprised, they didn't expect that a little ghost with a ninefold inner qi realm would have to make them work so hard, it was really rare.
These people obviously didn't know about Li Lao's breakthrough to the Qi Condensation Realm, after all, he hadn't really made a move in front of people, and since he broke through to the Qi Condensing Realm, he had been carrying the hidden qi beads given to him by the ghost elder.
The hidden qi bead is a three-grade array spirit bead, and its function is to hide the true qi breath in the martial artist's dantian, as long as the cultivation does not reach a certain level, it is impossible to see a person's true cultivation.
This thing was given by the ghost elder when Li Lao was on a mission before. It's not unique to him, almost every killer has such a thing in his hands.
Because this kind of thing is conducive to the killer to hide his cultivation when performing the mission, so that he can confuse his line of sight, kill the target with one blow, and even suspect himself afterwards.
