Chapter 306: A Desperate Shot
It was a mark in the shape of a minimalist bird embroidered with white thread, and Jiang Ying could see it very clearly.
The last time I saw this mark, I saw it on the corner of Elder Qianghuai's robe when Elder Qiang Huai of the Thousand Crane Hall of the Hundred Gates of the Dao Thousand Crane Hall came to Ningjian to apologize to her.
It's just that it's a little different from Elder Qiang Huai's mark, the small bird shape embroidered on the edge of the masked man's sleeve, a little bit of brilliant red on his forehead, and a little more gold thread on the edge of his wings.
According to general logical reasoning, the more complex the general form of this mark, the more noble the identity of the character represented.
This masked man should be as he guessed, a certain elder of the Thousand Crane Hall did not run away, but his identity is still to be discussed.
Elder Qiang Huai's status in the Thousand Crane Hall is already very high, he can directly talk to the head of Yue Xiao Zhenren, and he can also make some big decisions, but even the marks on Qiang Huai's clothes are not as good as this masked man, what is the status of this masked man in the Thousand Crane Palace?
The more Jiang Ying thought about it, the more frightened she became.
However, Tang Qinian didn't give Jiang Ying another chance to think about it, and gently tugged at Jiang Ying's sleeve, signaling that it was time for her to leave. Jiang Ying couldn't help it, although she wanted to continue listening, but seeing that their conversation should have come to an end, if she didn't leave at this time, it would be easy to find traces when they left.
Jiutian took the jade slip, shook it lightly in his hand, and after confirming the contents of the jade slip, he raised his head and asked softly:
"So...... When?"
"If it's okay, ...... in three months," the masked man was about to continue, when there was a faint sound of something breaking in the distance.
The words came to an abrupt end.
Not good!
The cracking sound came from Jiang Ying's feet. Originally, she wanted to evacuate with Tang Qinian, but when she heard Jiutian mention the time, Jiang Ying couldn't help but pause.
Three months? What three months?
Before Jiang Ying could figure out what the masked man was talking about, she stepped on a small dead branch without noticing.
The moment the voice burst out, a thought crossed her mind.
It's broken.
"What people!"
Despite the distance and the faint sound of the branches popping, the masked man spotted it in an instant. The masked man shouted violently, and before the voice arrived, the attack came first.
Jiang Ying and Tang Qinian, who were a little flustered, only felt that their bodies were light, and the scene in front of them instantly blurred, and only a small grain of sand and dust was left on the ground--- a fine sand made of wooden bracelets.
At the next moment when Jiang Ying and Tang Qinian were taken into the wooden bracelet, the masked man had already stood where they had been before.
"How can it be ......?"
The masked man searched carefully with his divine sense in disbelief, and with his cultivation, it was only a matter of a moment to sweep it with his divine sense within a radius of thousands of miles.
However, he didn't notice anyone on the run.
"No way, this can't be!" staring at the tiny broken branch in front of him, the masked man exclaimed in anger. "It's impossible for a branch to break on its own for no reason, there must have been someone here just now!"
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't find the few people hidden in the perfectly disguised wooden bracelet.
Seeing that the masked man was not giving up and searching everything around him with his divine sense over and over again but still found nothing, Jiang Ying and Tang Qinian were both apprehensive---- if they hadn't been swayed, they might have been killed on the spot by now, or they would have been caught and tortured by the masked man.
The end is unthinkable.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Lu Jingnian, who was following behind the masked man, looked cautious, looked at the angry masked man, and said cautiously. "My lord, do you suspect that there was someone here just now? My divine sense has been monitoring the surroundings for a hundred miles, and there is absolutely no one there......
"Waste! Are you questioning me?" The masked man turned around, and without thinking about it, he slapped Lu Jingnian in the face. "Even me...... How can you find such a waste? Look at that branch clearly, even if an animal steps on it, it will never escape from the scope of my divine consciousness in an instant, there is definitely someone here just now, but ......"
"It's just that now the man has disappeared mysteriously. ”
Jiutian, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke slowly, and his tone seemed to be mixed with a trace of disdain and ridicule.
"You ......" The masked man was about to have a seizure on the spot, but I don't know what it was, but in the end, he endured it and didn't get angry directly. "He's been hiding it very well, and he only reacted when he heard us talk about hands-on things...... With the speed of your sword, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the cultivation realm who can catch up with you, and I'm even more impossible......"
The masked man slowly calmed down and calmly analyzed.
"From this point of view, that person can only follow Lu Jingnian for many years, and he can know the relationship between the Lu family and us, and he probably won't know less about the selection of Qiling...... I also said a lot about the plan when we met before, but only this time the other party showed a little bit of sloppiness, indicating that this eavesdropper should have been close to Lu Jingnian recently......"
The masked man raised his head and looked at Lu Jingnian coldly.
"You go back and take a good look at the two young girls you said are the best in appearance and spiritual roots, I suspect that the two of them are people sent by the Shadow Sect. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will begin to examine the provenance of those two children after dawn. Lu Jingnian bowed his head respectfully and replied.
Hearing the masked man say this, Jiang Ying and Tang Qinian were instantly stupid.
Who the hell is the masked man? In just a few words, he can even analyze this kind of thing! Although some of them are a little over-interpreted, the judgment of the result is not bad!
It's terrifying......
"I won't be meeting with you again, and all the news will be delivered through the original channels. The masked man glanced coldly at Lu Jingnian, who had his head down, and his tone was already displeased to the extreme.
"And you Kunlun Sword Sect are the same. Now that it's been heard...... The time will definitely change, and the specific time will not be notified to you by secret letter before you start, and the things in the jade slip will be found to cultivate as soon as possible. ”
"We don't need you to teach us what we should do. Jiutian also did not show weakness, and looked back coldly. "Nothing else. ”
Seeing that the masked man and Lu Jingnian didn't react, Jiutian directly picked up the sword trick and left the two directly behind him, stepping on the long sword and riding the wind.
"You go back and investigate those two people carefully, it doesn't matter if you send them later, but you must find out your identity. If it's really from the Shadow Gate......" The masked man's voice was a little evil.
"What to do, you know. ”
