Chapter 17: The Dead Moon, Searching, Seeing Reason

After making sure that the captain of the Proud Empire was indeed dead, Ling Aotian let out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

In the case of the exhaustion of true qi, he fought with the opponent for more than ten minutes with his physical body, and finally killed the opponent in a way that both were defeated, Ling Aotian was already exhausted, seeing that the enemy had completely fallen, and the strength that had been holding back in his body dissipated in an instant, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The chest pierced by the enemy, blood flowed, and the pain that pierced the heart made Ling Aotian frown.

After bandaging the wound briefly, Ling Aotian didn't want to move any more, just lay motionless in place, letting the starry sky sprinkle on his body.

After resting for half an hour, Ling Aotian finally regained some strength and stood up from the ground.

The corpses of the soldiers of the Ode Empire that he killed were scattered all around him, but he didn't have the heart to deal with it, time was pressing, and the most important thing now was to find Ric Kanas and them, and take them out of here before the Ode Empire found out, otherwise, once the Ode Empire found out that someone had infiltrated and strengthened its precautions, it would be difficult to leave again.

After finding a hidden place and recovering the true qi in his body, Ling Aotian began to run towards the depths of the Dead Moon Canyon.

The Proud Empire's search for Led Canas and the others can be described as exhaustive, and Ling Aotian entered the depths of the Dead Moon Canyon and still encountered several groups of soldiers from the Proud Empire.

Ling Aotian didn't clash with those Elder Empire soldiers, and when he found out about them, he avoided them from a distance, after all, his goal in entering the Dead Moon Canyon was to find Richer Kanas and the others.

The time of the night passed quickly, and a glimmer of light began to appear in the east.

In one night, Ling Aotian traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers, and encountered no less than ten search and arrest teams, but he never found any trace of Led Kanas and others.

Where the hell are Led Kanas? Ling Aotian frowned, time was pressing, once the Elder Empire found out about those people he had killed and strengthened its precautions, it would be difficult to leave.

Ling Aotian walked forward while thinking about how to find Richard Canas and the others.

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and a feathered arrow shot from the front.

Without any hesitation, the remnant sword in Ling Aotian's hand shook and struck at the menacing feather arrow, knocking it to the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A few more feathered arrows were fired.

Ling Aotian frowned, and said secretly, "Could it be that the soldiers of the Deao Empire discovered it?"

Although he thought like this in his heart, his hand did not stop at all, and he quickly swung the remnant sword, shot down four long swords, and then his body moved, rushing in the direction where the long arrow was fired.

At this moment, Ling Aotian only had this thought in his heart, since he was discovered, he would kill the other party, otherwise, once the news was leaked, there would be endless troubles waiting for him.

At the moment when Ling Aotian rushed forward, a figure jumped out from the bushes about a hundred meters in front of him, and swept forward quickly.

Obviously, that person was the one who had just released an arrow to sneak attack, and seeing that the sneak attack was fruitless, Ling Aotian chased after him, and he had already retreated.

How could Ling Aotian let the other party leave, his speed increased a few points, and he chased after him.

Seeing that Ling Aotian was in hot pursuit, the person in front didn't hesitate, turned around and shot an arrow towards Ling Aotian.

The arrows of the other party's sneak attack failed to deal with Ling Aotian, not to mention the arrows shot during the run, in the face of the feather arrows that shot towards him, Ling Aotian didn't even use the remnant sword in his hand, just a flash of his body, and then avoided it, and even, in the process of avoiding, the speed did not weaken by half a point.

The speed of the person shooting arrows in front of him was not slow, but compared to Ling Aotian, who had cultivated the Heavenly Remnant Step, it was not good, and in less than two minutes, Ling Aotian was behind that person.

"Ahh

The archer obviously lacked melee combat experience, and although he stabbed Ling Aotian with a dagger in his hand, the action of that stab was extremely jerky and full of flaws.

Ling Aotian lightly waved the remnant sword in his hand, and knocked the dagger in that man's hand to the ground, and before the man could react, the rusty remnant sword was already on the man's neck.

Realizing that he was no match for Ling Aotian, the man stopped resisting and closed his eyes.

Ling Aotian's sword didn't immediately cut that person's throat, and just as he was about to kill the other party, he noticed that the military uniform on the other party's body seemed to be different from that of the Aode Empire.

"Are you from the Dapings Empire?" Ling Aotian's heart became excited, as if he had already found the person he was looking for.

"That's right, if you want to kill, I'm not going to say anything!" the man didn't deny.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite backbone!" Ling Aotian said with some emotion.

"Hmph!" the man snorted coldly, not at all pleased with Ling Aotian's praise.

Ling Aotian slowly withdrew his death sword.

"You ......" The man was waiting for death with his eyes closed, when he felt the remnant sword on his neck leave, he couldn't help but open his eyes, just in time to see Ling Aotian put away the long sword with a face full of relief, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Don't worry, I'm not from the Ode Empire. Ling Aotian smiled slightly.

"You're not from the Aode Empire?" the man looked at Ling Aotian suspiciously, obviously not believing his words.

Ling Aotian smiled bitterly, the other party's caution was also reasonable, after all, there was no basis for his words, and he really couldn't prove that he was not a member of the Aude Empire.

The man looked Ling Aotian up and down, but he still couldn't tell whether what Ling Aotian said was true or false, and for a while, the atmosphere froze.

Ling Aotian frowned, the longer he dragged on in the Dead Moon Canyon, the more unfavorable it would be for them, but how could he convince the other party that he was indeed not from the Aode Empire?

Ling Aotian's mind flashed through countless methods, but he helplessly found that there was a huge problem with these methods, that is, he couldn't come up with strong evidence to prove it.

What should I do? Ling Aotian didn't think about forcibly taking this person to find Leader Canas and the others first, but, judging from the fact that they were able to survive under the search of the Elder Empire for more than twenty days, it was by no means possible for him to find them in a moment, and the only way now seemed to be that only by letting the person in front of him lead the way could he find Leader Kanas as soon as possible.

It was obviously impossible for a man who didn't trust him at all to go to Richard Canas on his own.

"It seems that there is only one way!" After thinking about it, Ling Aotian let out a long sigh.

"You, what are you going to do?" The man looked at Ling Aotian vigilantly, thinking that the other party was indeed lying to himself, but now seeing that he didn't believe it, he wanted to kill himself.

Seeing that person's nervousness in his eyes, Ling Aotian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry! ”

"And what the hell are you going to do?"

"I know it's impossible for you to believe that I'm not from the Ode Empire, because I can't produce strong evidence, but I have to meet Master Richard Canas right away, so that's the only way to do it now. Ling Aotian put away the remnant sword and stretched out his hands.

"What to do?" the man looked at Ling Aotian puzzled.

"Tie me up and take me to Lord Richard Canas!" Ling Aotian said.

The man was completely stunned, this change was too surprising, he was still a prisoner, but at this moment, the role seemed to be completely reversed.

Seeing Ling Aotian calmly stretch out his hands to himself, that person's heart was touched, at this moment, he had almost believed Ling Aotian's words, but when it came to the safety of Riche Kanas and the others, he didn't dare to take risks, and after a slight groan, he nodded towards Ling Aotian.

"Although I would love to believe your words, the stakes are high, and I am offended!"

That person was also a decisive person, and without saying anything, he took out the rope and tied Ling Aotian firmly.

"Now, can you take me to see Master Richard Canas?" Ling Aotian was not dissatisfied with being kidnapped, and said to the man with a smile.

Looking at Ling Aotian with a calm face, a complicated look appeared on that person's face.

"Aren't you worried that I'm from the Elder Empire?"

"You're not!" Ling Aotian said with certainty.

The man shook his head and said nothing more.

"Let's go, let's go meet the adults. ”

Without any worries, the man didn't hide any more, and led Ling Aotian to gallop through the jungle.

About half an hour later, the two came to a small valley that was extremely secluded.

"Stop!" a loud shout came from the front, and then a figure rushed out of the valley.

"It's Xiao Yu! you're finally back!" the man laughed and greeted him when he saw the comer.

"Who is this?" Soon, the person who came found Ling Aotian who was being kidnapped.

The man known as Xiao Yu briefly explained the situation.

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the man raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Aotian.

"Brother, what courage, so courageous!" the man stretched out his hand and patted Ling Aotian on the shoulder, unabashedly praised.

Ling Aotian smiled kindly at the man.

"Xiao Yu, go in quickly, the adults are inside. ”

Xiao Yu nodded.

"Brother, after meeting the adults, come to the elder brother, the elder brother invites you to drink!" the man shouted behind the two of them.

Soon, Ling Aotian entered the valley under the leadership of Xiao Yu.

It was a very small valley, and a dozen tents took up most of the valley, and the only clearing left stood more than fifty soldiers in the uniform of the Dallaceian Empire, and in the middle was a man in his forties with a majestic face, Ric Canas.
