One, two, three, the funeral procession
The seemingly brutal actions of the martial arts hall disciples and government soldiers were actually to ask the strong people with bad intentions to quickly transfer, while the innate strong people who followed secretly were to pay attention to any sudden abnormalities and then look for targets.
If Xiao Hua used his mental power indiscriminately to find Liu Zhiyun and interfered with the tracking of the innate powerhouse, it would be a big trouble. If the owners of the small town where those female cultivators were located were to make a group of difficulties, even if Ling Tianji and Tai Shuyu looked at Xiao Hua differently, they would have to be punished accordingly.
Perhaps, Xiao Hua will be directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the martial arts!
Speculating at this point, Xiao Hua, who had reached the fork in the road, immediately turned into the alley and stimulated the sensing force to the strongest state. In the alley a few feet away from the street, follow the disciples of the martial arts hall and the soldiers of the government to search, and pay attention to all kinds of movements around you.
Whewββ
Xiao Hua's hind feet had just sunk into the alley, and the wind behind him arose.
"Sure enough, I was noticed by the innate powerhouse, but it should be Wuzun who knows me......" Sensing a faint spiritual power, Xiao Hua had already released his spiritual power outside his body, and he didn't care about anything.
Walking slowly along the sparsely populated alley, Xiao Hua was like a person who had just eaten and came out for a walk, and his demeanor was very leisurely. In fact, Xiao Hua's spirit was highly concentrated, and he could distinguish all kinds of movements within dozens of feet around him at high speed.
Although there were some conversations that should not be heard, Xiao Hua had no choice but to quickly forget and focus on the latest situation.
It was evening, just when Xiao Hua looked like he was wandering around the road casually, but secretly he was waiting for the martial arts hall disciples and government soldiers on the street a few zhang away on the left to continue to advance, when he suddenly saw a team dressed in white clothes walking out of the corner of the alley in front of him!
"Out of the funeral?out of the funeral at this time?" Seeing the six people walking in front wearing white high hats on their heads, constantly raising their hands to the sky and waving paper money, Xiao Hua's eyes were dark, and he walked to the side of the road without a trace.
Only three or five feet apart, Xiao Hua saw that the more than ten people who followed closely behind were all hanging their heads and walking slowly, sobbing from time to time, and suddenly felt a sad breath rushing towards him. Instinctively, Xiao Hua retreated to the edge, ready to avoid this bad luck.
And the sensitive sensing power also told Xiao Hua that in the team, among the black coffins carried by several big men, there was indeed no breath of life! More importantly, Xiao Hua sensed that most of the more than 100 people in the team were ordinary people who had cultivated to the second and third levels of the realm of the day after tomorrow.
In other words, these people could not have anything to do with the disappearance of the nuns.
A moment later, as the sound of crying faded away, Xiao Hua stood in place, sensing that the martial arts hall disciples and government soldiers on the street had walked dozens of feet to the front, so he raised his feet and walked quickly.
"It's weird, I always feel that there is something wrong with this funeral procession...... However, after Xiao Hua walked a few steps, he inexplicably felt that the funeral procession was not normal, but he couldn't find out accurately for a while.
With doubts in his heart, Xiao Hua stopped, turned to look back at the slightly empty alley, and his brows trembled slightly.
"Brother Xiao, do you also think that there is something abnormal about that funeral procession?" At that moment, a faint spiritual power came from the air, bringing an inquiry from the innate powerhouse.
Following the direction from which the spiritual power came, Xiao Hua also used his spiritual power to transmit the voice back: "Senior, this funeral procession doesn't seem to be wrong on the surface, and the coffin is really a deceased person. And the families of the men and women who sent the funeral were also very normal, even if there were more than a dozen martial artists of the sixth or seventh layer realm of the day after tomorrow to follow, it was also reasonable. β
"It doesn't seem to be a problem, an old man just died here two days ago, and today is also the day of their scheduled funeral. The burial place of our Kuotian City is in Fuyin Mountain, fifty miles away, where fierce beasts that have cultivated to the fifth or sixth layer of the day after tomorrow occasionally appear. The innate powerhouse hidden in the distance came back and brought more undoubted news to Xiao Hua.
At this time, two or three people passing by looked at Xiao Hua with strange expressions, and finally each walked around Xiao Hua who was standing in the middle of the alley.
Xiao Hua didn't actually think about the problem and thought of forgetting himself, but just as he was about to give way, the other party bypassed it first. Turning to look at the three of them swaggering or walking in a decent manner, Xiao Hua seemed to have an understanding.
His eyes kept staring at the three people in front of him, and in a trance, the three figures seemed to overlap together, forming a chaotic and unruly phantom.
"I see!" Xiao Hua blurted out, finally understanding why he felt that there would be a hidden abnormality in the funeral procession just now.
Everyone has their own personality traits, whether it is eating, sleeping, walking and talking, they will be different from others. But Xiao Hua carefully recalled the funeral procession just now, and found that although there were more than 100 people in the team, and everyone's behavior looked completely different, it was only a partial difference!
As a person with a very strong sense and memory, he remembers the whole team clearly. If in a local team, everyone's words and deeds are different, then the whole team is ten repetitions of this local difference!
Excluding those who carried the coffin, the procession could basically be divided into a group of ten. The first ten people did look normal, but the next ten people were repeating all the movements of the first ten people! Although they looked chaotic or disorganized, they looked chaotic with their strong sense and memory, and found that they were really indistinguishable!
How could there be such a strange situation? There must be a problem!
Xiao Hua stood in place and thought for a long time, and finally convinced his judgment, and hurriedly transmitted the sound to the innate powerhouse in the shadows.
"Huh-did that senior leave with the martial arts hall disciples and the government soldiers?" After not responding for a long time, Xiao Hua felt that he might have been thinking about it for too long, so the other party was no longer in place.
"No matter what, I'll follow it first, maybe there will be a missing nun in the funeral procession...... It's better not to show up first, it's better to change your appearance so as not to get into trouble again. After a little consideration, Xiao Hua, who was already anxious, immediately turned around and chased after him.
When Xiao Hua turned out of the alley following the breath and the paper money on the road, and stepped on the street near the West City Gate, his appearance had already changed to the appearance of an ugly man with a long face and short eyebrows, turning his lips and showing his teeth.
Raising his eyes and seeing that the last few people in the funeral procession had just walked through the west city gate, Xiao Hua coughed twice and walked towards the city gate with his eyes raised.
Seeing the guards at the city gate stepping forward, Xiao Hua, who had been prepared, took the lead in showing the silver token and said casually: "It's not dark again, it's okay for me to go out hunting some game, right?"
The guards have long been familiar with the various tempers of the martial arts players these days, and they sensed that the ugly-looking kid in front of them actually had the cultivation of the eighth-layer realm of the day after tomorrow, so they didn't bother to interrogate them, and just let them pass.
Out of the city gate, seeing that the funeral procession was still walking forward unhurriedly, Xiao Hua stood at the city gate and stopped for a while, chose a slightly left direction, and distanced himself from the funeral procession.
Of course, Xiao Hua did not part ways with the funeral procession, but to avoid too obvious tracking. You must know that beyond this city gate, there is a hundred feet of wide flat land!
At the moment, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the funeral procession, but Xiao Hua doesn't care at all. With his current realm, movements within a radius of two or three thousand zhang could not escape his breath and spiritual power sense.
And after Xiao Hua and the funeral team disappeared into the mountains along the mountain road, Xiao Hua suppressed the fluctuation of his breath with his spiritual power, and he wandered away from the funeral procession and followed closely.
"Although the mountains are quiet, the atmosphere is mixed, and there may be other strong people hiding in the dark...... If these funeral people are pretending to be evil people, then there should be a strong person at the destination. Xiao Hua used his mental power to make his body flutter in the wind like a fallen leaf, and he was vigilant and did not make the slightest sound.
Just thinking of these in his heart, Xiao Hua's actions were more cautious. With the help of an old tree passing by, Xiao Hua hid among the luxuriant branches and waited quietly for a while.
It wasn't until he didn't feel any potential danger that Xiao Hua continued to track down the funeral procession.
After an hour or two, the sky turned from dusk to pitch black, and the moon and stars slowly climbed into the sky.
"More than fifty miles of mountain road, I have walked for so long, I really have patience!" Xiao Hua sensed that there was a dead silence in the mountain area not far away, and roughly guessed that area was the so-called Fuyin Mountain.
If it was at a normal walking speed, even if ordinary people in the two or three levels of the realm carried the coffin the day after tomorrow, it would not take half an hour. But this funeral procession went for nearly two hours!
Xiao Hua had just guessed, and the funeral procession more than a thousand feet away really stopped.
"The place of burial must be inaccessible, and if there is a strong person to respond, it should appear at this time. Xiao Hua was more sure of his judgment, but immediately smiled secretly: "It's really like it, I didn't forget to dig a pit to bury the dead." β
After waiting for a while, Xiao Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"There are so many people, it takes so long to dig a pit? Are you still going to build a big tomb and a high tomb? Aren't they all built during the day and then bury the dead in it...... No, you have to go over and take a look, maybe they're digging a secret passage!" Xiao Hua, who secretly thought to himself, felt that the other party's behavior was a little weird, and quickly sneaked closer.
At this time, Xiao Hua, who had just sneaked for more than ten zhang, suddenly shook his spirits, and shouted in his heart: "Sure enough, there is a response, there is really a big problem with this funeral team!"
In Xiao Hua's breath induction, at the foot of Fuyin Mountain, nine powerful true qi fluctuations suddenly appeared! And all of them were the acquired nine-layer realm!
If it's just this, forget it, it won't make Xiao Hua feel resigned.
Just as he was about to speed up and lean over, the funeral procession, which was originally the strongest martial cultivator of the Seventh Layer Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, suddenly erupted with ten powerful breaths that were also the Ninth Layer Realm of the Day After Tomorrow!
At the same time, the aura of those acquired six or seven layer realms all disappeared, as if those martial cultivators had hidden their cultivation, and they had not completely let go until now!
"Nineteen Acquired Nine-Layer Realm Martial Cultivators, what kind of force is acting?" Xiao Hua was secretly shocked in his heart.
He was now confident that he could get out of the siege of seven or eight, or even ten, the Nine Layers of the Acquired Realm, and rescue Liu Zhiyun. But now there are as many as nineteen Acquired Ninth Layer Realm martial cultivators over there!
"Although my speed is fast enough, coupled with the suppression of mental power, I can survive the siege of several people unscathed. However, in the face of so many martial arts cultivators who are killing moves, I can't dodge either. If they still fight, it will be even more troublesome!" Xiao Hua estimated the possible fight scenes, and realized that he had no chance of winning at all.
"If I knew this, I should have found that senior first. When he felt that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength, Xiao Hua regretted a little that he didn't go to the innate powerhouse just now.
