Chapter 274: Tracking
Yu Yanlaiju, the young city lord of Changfeng City, was assassinated in the middle of the night, and this incident was enough for the entire Changfeng City to be lively all night.
But perhaps because Haimin misled the trackers behind him when he fled, it was almost dawn when Changfeng Chengwei searched the east of the city.
In the midst of a rushing slamming sound, Shang Xia yawned and rubbed his eyes to open the courtyard door, and two city guards who had just entered the Wuyuan Realm rushed in from outside the door.
"You're the only one in this courtyard?"
The two city guards looked at each other with cold eyes, one opened his mouth to ask Shang Xia, and the other looked at everything in the small courtyard with a little alarm.
Shang Xia seemed to be frightened by the two fierce city guards who rushed in, and he looked a little stunned for a while.
And at this time, the door of the upper room "squeaked", and Hai Min had already walked out wearing the jacket that Shang Xia had just bought for him: "Boss, who is it this morning......"
Before Hai Min finished speaking, he seemed to have just seen that there were two more city guards in the courtyard, and he was so frightened that he wanted to retreat into the door.
The city guard's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at the young couple in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You two are new here?
As soon as Chengwei's words fell, he heard a milky voice coming from the room: "Mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat wontons!"
A small head came out from behind Haimin, looked at Shang Xia and the two city guards in the courtyard, and said, "Mother, who are they?"
Haemin hurriedly picked up the child and went into the back room.
In the small courtyard, after seeing Hai Yuanyuan, the two city guards let down their vigilance and just said: "Wake up recently, if you find anything abnormal, remember to inform our city guards!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Shang Xia sent the two city guards out of the door, and then bought chaos and buns in front of the morning stall on the corner and brought them back.
Halfway through breakfast, Hai Min looked up at Shang Xia and said, "There may be a few relatives from my mother's family during the day!"
Shang Xia didn't raise his head and said: "Then you have to entertain yourself, I have to go hunting in the city today, otherwise the family will be cut off in a few days." ”
When Hai Min heard Shang Xia say "home", his expression was slightly in a trance, and his face was a little hot.
Hearing Shang Xia say that he was going out of the city to hunt, Hai Min reacted and hurriedly said, "Then, then you have to be careful yourself!"
Hai Yuan next to him puffed out his little face that hadn't swallowed the wonton yet, tilted his head and asked, "Mother, is he my father?" Didn't you say that as long as my father comes back, he will buy me delicious and fun, and play with me?"
Haemin's eyes began to turn red when she heard this.
Shang Xia listened to it interestingly on the side, and when he saw Haimin's expression, he immediately had a playful mind, and said with a smile: "Then you call me Daddy?"
Hai Min coughed lightly, and looked at Shang Xia with a little more anger in his eyes.
But Hai Yuanyuan was unintentional, and said in a milky voice: "As long as you can bring a little rabbit back, I will call you Dad!"
"Eat quickly, don't talk nonsense!"
Haimin sat opposite Shang Xia, urging her daughter to eat quickly, but she didn't dare to look at Shang Xia with her eyes.
Shang Xia deliberately glanced at Haimin, who was red-eared, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's decided!"
After that, he stretched out his little finger and pulled the hook with the little girl.
............
Thanks to the city guards who smashed the door early in the morning, Shang Xia rushed to the city gate after breakfast, and left the city as soon as the city gate opened.
Then he took a pot of ordinary feathered arrows he had just bought, and carried an iron-tired longbow wrapped around the cloth strips into the Chiba Mountains.
Shortly after Shang Xia left the city, Chen Sanyang rode out of the city gate on a red-scaled horse and headed south along the pass of the Chiba Mountains.
Chen Sanyang's speed was extremely fast, and he soon passed through the pass and entered the only passage through the Chiba Mountains.
It's just that after Chen Sanyang went all the way to a distance of nearly 100 miles, he turned around and entered the mountains and forests on one side.
After shuttling through the forest for several miles, until the ground was really unable to adapt to the passage of the mount, Chen Sanyang jumped off the horse, tied the reins to a tree trunk, and then disappeared in a few flashes in the dense forest.
And at this moment, the red-scaled horse that was tied to the trunk of the tree suddenly snorted, and shook the snow under his feet with some uneasiness.
Shang Xia walked up to the Red Scale Horse, stroked the back of the Red Scale Horse with his hand, and soothed the somewhat panicked mount, while his eyes were on the direction in which Chen Sanyang had disappeared.
The cold wind was blowing in the forest, and Shang Xia didn't know when he had disappeared again.
Chen Sanyang traveled in the Chiba Mountains, and as he went deeper and deeper, although Chen Sanyang could still discern the direction, he could no longer judge the general direction he was in.
At this time, Chen Sanyang's hand suddenly had a small pennant a foot long.
The orange-red flag was windless and automatic with the injection of blood and true qi in Chen Sanyang's body, like a swaying flame, slowly pointing to a certain direction in the depths of the mountain forest.
Chen Sanyang was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly walked towards the direction where the flag was extended.
Not long after Chen Sanyang left, Shang Xia had already appeared in place.
I saw him jump up, fall on the top of a big tree, and look in the direction where Chen Sanyang left, his expression became more and more solemn.
Chen Sanyang followed the direction indicated by the orange-red flag all the way, and soon saw the boundary barrier along the Chiba Mountain Range that separated Youzhou from the two realms.
Chen Sanyang walked forward again for dozens of miles in a direction parallel to the boundary barrier, and the direction in which the orange-red flag stretched suddenly pointed vertically to the boundary barrier.
Seeing this, Chen Sanyang was not surprised at all, but was greatly relieved.
I saw that he first looked around vigilantly, and then pretended to wander around at random, walked around the surrounding mountains and forests, and finally returned to the position where the orange and red flag pointed just now.
In the end, Chen Sanyang never found any trace of Shang Xia.
Standing in front of the boundary barrier again, Chen Sanyang already had an extra gourd in his hand.
I saw him pull the gourd plug open and pour out several items from it.
Shang Xia had seen the process of several formation mages of Tongyou Academy setting up formations several times, so even if he didn't know the formation, he could guess that these things should be used to set up formations.
Sure enough, Chen Sanyang was familiar with placing several items in different directions, and then carved dozens of formations on the surrounding ground, rocks, and tree trunks.
After arranging all this, Chen Sanyang was obviously relieved, walked to the center of this simple formation, and finally planted the orange and red flag on the ground.
As Chen Sanyang injected the blood and vitality in his body into the small flag, the surrounding array patterns were all lit up, and several items in the array were suspended in mid-air from the ground.
An orange-red pillar of light suddenly floated up from the center of the formation, and then shot directly into the gray-white realm barrier, like a lighthouse projecting a pillar of light into the sea, and like an orange-red path spread out in the realm barrier.
At this time, Shang Xia was actually behind a giant tree fifty zhang away from Chen Sanyang.
As Shang Xia's cultivation at the second level of the Advanced Three Talents Realm stabilized, his martial arts will sensing range had expanded from thirty zhang at the beginning to about fifty zhang.
After being able to fully integrate his will into the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, Shang Xia didn't have to worry about being discovered by Chen Sanyang at all.
The orange-red pillar of light was still maintained, but Chen Sanyang's own bloodline true qi was a little powerless due to the consumption.
At this time, as long as Shang Xia made a move, this Chen Sanyang almost didn't even have the possibility of dodging, and he would definitely die.
But just as Shang Xia was hesitating whether to make a move, at the end of the orange-red pillar of light that shot into the boundary barrier, several figures faintly appeared, and walked towards the outside of the barrier along the path opened up by the pillar of light.
Although there were already some speculations, when Shang Xia really saw the spatial channel connecting the two worlds open in front of him, he still couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
However, it was too late for Shang Xia to make a move at this time, and a strong will descended along the orange-red path first, and instantly spread out with Chen Sanyang as the center, and Shang Xia's location was already completely shrouded in it.
Fourth-Order Martial Artist!
Shang Xia was a little flustered at first, but he quickly calmed down, and he found that the will of the comer was not targeted, but just a precautionary measure in advance.
In other words, the other party didn't notice him, but Shang Xia decisively chose to retreat!
At the beginning of Kou Chongxue's hidden cultivation secret place, when he ushered in the second transformation of the martial will, although Shang Lubing could not find the source after being spied on, he was sure that he was being spied on at that time.
Shang Lubing was only at the first level of the Martial Realm, so he could detect his prying eyes, and it didn't make sense that the Quadruple Heavenly Martial Artists of the Cangling Realm couldn't find it.
You must stay as far away as possible before the opponent's fourth-order martial artist exits the realm barrier, so as to ensure your safety as much as possible.
Soon, however, the mist-like boundary barrier slowly flowed towards the surroundings, forming a portal paved with orange-red light.
At this time, Chen Sanyang no longer needed to spend his own True Qi to maintain the formation, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and said respectfully: "Disciple Chen Sanyang greets Elder Liang!"
"Humph!"
A cold snort came from behind the portal, followed by an old man with a red nose and sparse white hair stepping out from behind the portal: "Boy Chen, you have done a good job!"
Chen Sanyang's face turned pale when he heard this, but he didn't know where he made a mistake.
However, the red-nosed old man Elder Liang didn't even look at him, and walked directly past him, his eyes flashing with a cold glow to look at the surrounding woods, but his mouth made a roar like a bell: "Which of your Excellency is making such a joke with Liang's junior, the old man Changbai Holy Land Liang Shuangren, please show up and see it!"
