447 hostages
The Rule of Momentum is indeed a powerful rule, and it is also an extremely useful rule, at least in Wan Ji'an's opinion.
After leaving from the Dong family in Longxiang City, Wan Ji'an did not embark on the road of finding Luo Tian as agreed, because he didn't know where Luo Tian was, and it was even impossible to find the slightest clue, and similarly, as Luo Tian's friend, it was impossible for him to expose Yao Tian, Guan Liang and others to Xia Yu's rules, so that they would be in danger.
However, if you want to deal with Xia Yu's "brain-dead", you really don't need to spend too much thought, because he is really like a child, he doesn't even have a little thinking ability of his own, although Wan Ji'an can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the rules of potential, after all, if he is really the ruler of the Vientiane Dynasty a hundred years ago, and he also had an agreement with Bahai and others, then he must have dealt with another interpreter who had the rules of potential in the past.
It's just that now it seems that in the process of inheritance, it is always difficult to avoid weakening step by step, and the Xia family is a proof of this.
Over the past few days, by deliberately guiding the direction of Xia Yu's actions, Wan Ji'an has found a lot of useful clues, but because he can't directly take Xia Yu to personally contact the important people and things in the clues, these clues are actually no different from Xia Yu, the only difference may lie in the analysis and combing of these clues, as well as the ability to understand.
"When are we going to see that woman?"
Just as Wan Ji'an was thinking about what to do next, Xia Yu beside him suddenly asked, although his expression was a little gloomy, after all, even if he couldn't detect Wan Ji'an's true intentions in this situation now, he was somewhat involuntarily unable to help himself, and in the past, whether it was with Liu An, Ouyang Xiao, or many people who "followed" him, they could only be at his mercy, and could not command him, let alone guide his behavior.
But when Xia Yu was unhappy in his heart, there was another strange thought, because along the way, he did get a lot of useful clues, and these clues were even important information that was impossible to obtain by gathering the resources of the entire Xia family in the past, and this alone was enough to make him pay attention to Wan Ji'an, and he was willing to "accompany" him out of this long way.
"Hmph, let me warn you again, do you think that you are still in the realm of your Tianming City, leaving the bird's nest, there are more than tens of millions of people in this world who can kill you, and before that, if you don't make all the preparations, you can only cause unnecessary killing. β
Wan Ji'an's words made Xia Yu's brows furrow, indeed, they had been hunted down several times in the past period, and it once made Xia Yu feel extremely shocked, who would want his own life, and who would rather risk the world's disapproval and go against Tianming City.
Of course, if Xia Yu was smarter, he would know that even if someone wanted to blackmail him to deal with the Xia family or fight against Tianming City, they would not just send killers to come, after all, there were only two of them, even if there was a encirclement and suppression that was not too well planned, they might be able to easily achieve their goal, even if they still couldn't succeed, but at least they could be separated, and the success rate of dealing with them separately would be much higher.
But it's a pity that Xia Yu is not so smart, since he has the rules of potential, he has completely given up thinking, because thinking will make mistakes, but the absolute logic and absolute concepts contained in the rules will never go wrong, as long as it is the people and things he wants to know, he can't escape his tracking and even the opportunity for this person and thing to take the lead in at least the next day.
In fact, if there was no Wan Ji'an, Xia Yu alone, there was really any danger, he would have been aware of it, after all, few people could do it to the level of Luo Tian, so most of the plans that thought they were foolproof were actually flawed, once a blockade was unsuccessful and Xia Yu found the clues, then Xia Yu would naturally be able to follow the vine and find a safer way home than the wayfinding rules that Guan Liang had.
But unfortunately, it was precisely because of Wan Ji'an's existence that he "misled" Xia Yu, or rather, misled the direction of the investigation of the rules of the potential that he had.
After listening to Wan Ji'an's words, Xia Yu didn't speak anymore, in fact, he agreed with Wan Ji'an's statement in his heart, after all, the pursuit and killing he suffered in the past period of time was real, and every time he really wanted to kill them, and every time Wan Ji'an was able to turn danger into a disaster, what he showed made Xia Yu amazed and afraid.
"In that case, what are we going to do next?"
In Xia Yu's simple to rough life, he only needs to become the future city lord of Tianming City after the game life, he doesn't even need to do anything, he can enjoy the supreme glory and the faith of those ten thousand people, and Tianming City is located in the Central Plains, there is no danger of invasion that any gods, demons and demons may come, even if a hundred years later, people forget the original catastrophe of the sky, and forget everything that Tianming City has done for mankind, but so what, no one can have a second degree of reincarnation, so enjoying a hundred years of life is the creed of Xia Yu's lifeγ
However, when he really left the realm of Tianming City, he found that in fact, although this world did not belong to him, there was another kind of beauty blooming, and this kind of impatient mind did support his belief that he had left Tianming City for so long.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements, but we still have one more preparation to make before we meet that woman. β
Wan Ji'an's words made Xia Yu's heart full of curiosity, but he desperately suppressed this curiosity, unwilling to behave too ordinarily in front of Wan Ji'an, but unfortunately, it was difficult for a young man like him to escape Wan Ji'an's eyes.
"What kind of preparation?"
After a disdainful sneer in his heart, Wan Ji'an was very indifferent, and then said.
"I'm going to take a trip to the Sifang City, and if there's one thing that we can get by, then this trip is foolproof. β
Wan Ji'an's sworn appearance made the doubts in Xia Yu's heart temporarily suppressed, but he still hesitated for a while before asking.
"Sifang City, why do you want to go so far away, and what are the 'things' you are talking about?"
Looking at the irrepressible stupidity on Xia Yu's face, Wan Ji'an smiled faintly, and then said.
"You should have heard of the Pure Subtle Method, right?"
The four words of the Qing subtle method shocked Xia Yu's heart, and then showed infinite joy on his face, of course he had heard of this strange book of the Middle Heaven Realm for a long time, and even praised it in his father's mouth, but it was a pity that Tianming City did not have the Qing subtle method, and he Xia Yu did not have the inheritance of the Qing subtle method, plus Xia Zidan was different from Xia Yu, he was a very deep longitudinal and horizontal family in the city, so the hot potato of the Qing subtle method, there was no foolproof chance, Xia Zidan would never be easily touched.
But Xia Yu is different, the subtle method of the Dong family in Longxiang City made him salivate and thirsty, but due to the intrusion of the Dong family's demonic qi at the beginning, thousands of Daoist interpreters were buried in the local area, so that Xia Yu wanted to see the true face of the secret treasure and had no way, and now, hearing Wan Ji'an say that there was another clear subtle method in Sifang City, how could this not make him feel stupid in his heart?
"Since there is such a secret treasure, then the guards must be very strict, you and I really have the ability to take away that secret treasure?"
However, Xia Yu is not a child after all, he still has the simple mind of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, if the subtle method of the Sifang City is also the same as that of the Dong family in Longxiang City, it is an extremely dangerous place, then he Xia Yu will not easily get involved in danger.
"Rest assured, everything is in my plans. β
Wan Ji'an didn't have the heart to solve Xia Yu's confusion at all, just smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, Xia Yu saw him like this, and didn't say anything more, but the stupidity in his heart undoubtedly added a little more at this moment.
It wasn't that far from where they were now to Sifang City, especially for the Enlighteners, it didn't take much time to get on the road, but both of them knew very well that some people wouldn't give them too much comfort, so there would inevitably be a lot of turmoil and trouble on this road.
Sure enough, as soon as they left the shelter and embarked on the journey, they ran into trouble, and from the breath, it was better than the previous troubles.
"There's someone behind you!"
After the people behind him followed them for a while, Xia Yu suddenly reminded that Wan Ji'an did not look back, and the pace of the two of them was still slow, but it seemed that Wan Ji'an didn't pay attention to it at all.
After walking for a while, the aura behind him gradually dissipated, and at this time, Wan Ji'an stopped, and at the same time, the breath that disappeared before suddenly swept in from all directions, Wan Ji'an looked at it coldly, and his heart was also sober and white, knowing that the other party had already contacted others and set up another ambush circle here.
However, the other party has a plan, and he Wan Ji'an also has a plan, so he didn't do anything at this moment, and waited for the arrival of the other party, but on the other hand, Xia Yu on the side felt like he was facing a big enemy, because the few pursuits he had encountered before were almost all encounters or pursuit battles, and he did not suddenly set up an ambush on the way like today.
Xia Yu is afraid of death, although his dedication to life and death is completely different from Luo Tian's, but there is not much difference in the feeling of being afraid of death, he is still young, and he still has a lot of youth to squander, but he doesn't want to die so meaninglessly.
"Don't move. β
Seeing that Xia Yu wanted to escape, Wan Ji sneered in peace of mind, but on the surface, he was calm, and his composure seemed to be transmitted to Xia Yu's heart, making him gradually pretend to be calm at this moment, and soon three people came not far away, but at the first glance, Wan Ji'an felt from these three people that the strength was not weaker than the mad swordsman at the beginning.
"I didn't expect me to be so face-saving, and I would send three masters like you to encircle and suppress me. β
Wan Ji'an looked at the other party and said lightly, his heart was not panicked at all, not even the slightest worry, although his strength may not be able to keep pace with the combined strength of these three people, but strength does not say everything, and Wan Ji'an, who has lived for two hundred years, must have his old and immortal strengths.
After the other party arrived, he didn't speak, but waited for a while, until all the people nearby arrived, and then he looked at Wan Ji'an and Xia Yu on the opposite side with deep eyes, no...... There was no Xia Yu in their eyes at all, even if Xia Yu was also a top master, but he was completely ignored by the other party.
This situation did not make Xia Yu angry, and he knew that now was not the time to be angry, but at this time, his palms slowly overflowed with cold sweat, and he felt wet along with his vest, because he also sensed that any of the three people on the other side had enough strength to surpass him.
Strength is the ability that the interpreter relies on the most, and it is also the simplest and most effective way to determine the outcome of the game, at least for Xia Yu, and at this moment, a thought flashed in Xia Yu's heart, just when he wanted to use the rules of power to try to investigate, he heard Wan Ji'an speak.
"I know very well your intentions, since it's not for the sake of killing, let's make your request?"
Wan Ji'an's words made Xia Yu stop his movements, and he felt extremely surprised in his heart at this time, could it be that the other party really didn't come to kill them, could it be that there was another purpose, and this purpose was to threaten his father by blackmailing himself?
What Xia Yu was thinking in his heart, Wan Ji'an didn't care at all at this time, because he knew very well who the other party was, and together with the more than ten battles he had encountered in the past, he also knew the origin and purpose of the other party.
Yes, because of Xia Yu, the other party is not from the forces of the Seven City Lords of the Middle Heaven Realm, but someone else, and this person is closely related to Wan Ji'an's origin.
For so many years, the other party has never revealed his whereabouts, and even when Wan Ji'an made waves in various parts of the Middle Heaven Realm by virtue of his name as the deputy head of the world, the other party did not jump out, when Wan Ji'an, Luo Tian, and Zhao Meng kidnapped the Qu family at the Gate of Creation and tried to provoke the majesty of the Heavenly Sect, they also turned a blind eye, but now they have reappeared, and the only message pointing to is Wan Ji'an's trip to the Hongfo Temple.
Yes, Wan Ji'an wants to restart the plan of the year, he wants to resurrect the Pure Yang Venerable Ji Xuan.
"As long as you are willing to give up, we old souls will also return to nothingness, and will not bother Your Excellency again. β
One of the three said this at this time, his words made Xia Yu show a puzzled expression, but on the other hand, Wan Ji'an, it was deep and cold, making people feel cold all over his body, and the former emperor of the Vientiane Dynasty finally began to slowly begin to show his majesty that was enough to make countless people kneel.
Feeling the coercion transmitted by Wan Ji'an's demeanor, and also feeling the Red River blood disaster that was like thousands of armies and horses, the three people on the opposite side wanted to forcibly resist such coercion, but they still unconsciously took a step back, even though their strength was comparable to Wan Ji'an, but it was still difficult to compete with the breathtaking aura and gaze revealed by the other party.
Even Wan Ji'an didn't do anything.
