Chapter 64: Get Out

Previous Chapter

Lin Jia continued on her way forward, through the dense woods, her heart full of determination and purpose. However, she didn't notice that some of the demon clan's minions had been quietly following her movements.

A few demon clan minions stopped in a hidden place, watching Lin Jia's figure go away, exchanging discussions.

"The human woman is back, and it looks like she's going to re-enter the area."

"We have to go and tell His Highness and let His Highness decide."

"This woman doesn't seem to be strong, but we can't be careless, she could be a trap."

"Yes, this is an important area for His Highness, and we can't let anyone break into it easily."

Several demon clan minions were secretly discussing, and then quietly left the scene one by one, preparing to find their leader and report what they had just discovered.

Lin Jia continued to walk forward, for her, the road in front of her was full of unknowns and challenges, but she had a firm belief in her heart that she would continue to move forward and find her own answers. Behind her, the little minions of the demon clan were quickly going to report to their leader, and the whole situation was gradually becoming more complicated and tense.

One of the demon minions hurried to a hidden cave, which was where their leader was located, the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven. He walked into the cave and saw that His Highness was cultivating, so he cautiously knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Highness, just now we found a human woman who was expelled before, and she seems to have re-entered our territory. “

His Highness stopped cultivating, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you sure she is the woman we drove away before?" “

The little minion nodded in response, "Yes, I'm sure." Her features are exactly the same as before, and we have just seen her enter this area with our own eyes, and we will immediately come to report to Your Highness. “

His Highness pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there anything unusual about her actions?" Is there anyone else following her? “

The minion replied, "At least so far, we don't notice anyone else following her. She seems to be heading in a certain direction, possibly with a goal or purpose. “

His Highness nodded slightly, a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes. He knew that this woman might not be a simple intruder, otherwise she wouldn't have entered the area many times. He had some speculation in his mind, but needed more information to confirm.

"You continue to monitor her movements, but don't alarm her. Wait until her purpose is clear before making a decision. If her actions do concern us, I will personally step in. "Your Highness has given the order.

The little minion replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness." We will be careful not to let her discover our presence. “

Hearing His Highness's instructions, the little minion breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then retreated, preparing to continue to monitor Lin Jia's actions in order to bring the information back to His Highness at any time. On the other side, Lin Jia didn't know that her whereabouts had already been targeted by the eyes of the demon clan, she was still working hard and persevering for her goal.

In the inner chamber of the Lingxu Cave Heaven, His Highness and Qin Yao were talking. Qin Yao is a close confidant of His Royal Highness, responsible for intelligence gathering and the formulation of plans.

"Your Highness, the information just now shows that the human woman we expelled before seems to have returned to this area. There's something strange about her actions, what do you think we should do about it? Qin Yao asked.

His Highness looked at her quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "She is the companion of the human boy from before, and we have confirmed it before. Now that she's reappeared, it means that she must have a purpose. We don't have to rush to make a move, there are quite a few cultivator gathering places nearby, and if we send out strong people, it is likely to expose our existence and be detrimental to our plans. “

Qin Yao nodded yes, and then continued to ask: "Then do you think we are observing or shooting?" “

His Highness smiled slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "Although she is a cultivator of the Divine Spring Realm, she is just an ordinary human after all, and she can be destroyed at will. If we make a move, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the practitioners, which will not be conducive to our plans. What's more, Jiang Yifei may have left a tracking means on her, and if we shoot directly, our location will be exposed. “

Qin Yao nodded in agreement, she understood His Highness's consideration, Jiang Yifei, as a cultivator, might have set up some kind of means on Lin Jia in order to keep track of her whereabouts at any time. If they shoot blindly, it is very likely to be discovered, which will alert Jiang Yifei.

"So, let's watch her actions for the time being. If her destination is in line with our plans, it's never too late for us to do it. His Highness added.

Qin Yao nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask, "Then what should we do to ensure that we are not discovered by her?" “

Her Highness smiled and said, "We can send some hidden means, such as demon beasts or illusions, to monitor her movements and make sure that our whereabouts are not discovered by her." “

Qin Yao nodded yes, and then said that relevant personnel would be arranged to monitor it. In the end, His Royal Highness and Qin Yao reached an agreement and decided to observe Lin Jia's actions first and wait for the right time before making a move. After all, at this stage, they didn't have enough evidence and reasons to track down and attack Lin Jia, and they needed more intelligence to support their decision-making.

Lin Jia hurried while trying to recover his state. She knew that the demon clan behind her might still be tracking her, and although there was no direct sign now, she remained vigilant.

She guessed that the Demon Clan's previous target should be the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and she herself happened to be in this area, so it was very likely that she would encounter them again. Out of an abundance of caution, she decided to take some measures to avoid being discovered by the demons. She found a hidden corner, away from the road and people, to make sure her whereabouts were not easily detected.

In this hidden corner, Lin Jia stopped and stared at her body quietly. She knew that in order to avoid being detected by the demon clan, she had to transform into the appearance of a demon clan. She began to wield her demonic powers, gradually changing her appearance.

Her eyes flickered with deep thought, and although she didn't know who the tracker was, she was sure that those demon clans were related to the Demon Emperor's tomb. She decided to transform herself into an ordinary demon in order to blend in and reduce the likelihood of being discovered.

Power flowed through her body, and her appearance began to change gradually. Her complexion darkened slightly, a strange glow appeared in her eyes, and her hair became slightly coarse. Through subtle changes, she made herself look more like a demon than a human.

When she finished changing, she took a deep breath and felt like she had successfully transformed her appearance. While she didn't know if being like this would be enough to fool her around, she believed it would at least reduce the chance of being spotted by the stalker.

Nodding with satisfaction, Lin Jia continued to embark on the journey. She knew that despite her changed appearance, she was not completely safe, and she needed to be vigilant and ready for any possible threat. After all, the Demon Clan's tracker could appear at any time, and she had to be careful to ensure her safety.

The little minions of the demon clan who were following behind saw that Lin Jia suddenly changed into the appearance of the demon clan, and the scene in front of them surprised and confused them for a while. They stopped and looked around, but they couldn't find any trace of Lin Jia anymore. Several demon clan minions exchanged glances and frowned.

"Why did she disappear all of a sudden?" A demon minion muttered in a low voice.

"Did we lose it?" The other minion frowned.

"Impossible, she's around here, how could she suddenly disappear?" The third minion frowned, obviously not believing the scene in front of him.

"Your Highness wants us to follow her closely, and it's hard to explain it now." The fourth little minion muttered.

There was a hint of anxiety on their faces, after all, this mission was to track Lin Jia's whereabouts, and the news that came back would be directly related to the demon clan's plan.

"Should we look closer?" Someone suggested.

"That's right, you can't just give up and keep searching." The other minion nodded in agreement.

They scattered one after another and began to search the surrounding area for Lin Jia's traces, but no matter how they searched, Lin Jia's traces seemed to have completely disappeared.

"It's strange, it's still around here just now." A little minion said with a frown.

"Has she escaped too far?" Another minion guessed.

"Anyway, we have to go back and report to Your Highness." The third minion sighed.

They exchanged frustrated glances before deciding to give up their search in the area. They turned to leave and began to return to the territory of the Demon Clan, preparing to report the situation to His Highness.

Soon after they left, Lin Jia had already left the place, and successfully evaded their tracking by transforming into the appearance of the demon clan. She was glad that her little trick had managed to fool her, but she also knew that the demon stalkers might not stop there, and she had to continue to be careful not to be discovered by them.

The little minions of the demon clan hurried back to the territory of the demon clan, and as they walked, they discussed whether the demon clan that had just appeared was related to Lin Jia.

"Do you think that demon clan is the human woman just now?"

"It's possible, after all, the woman suddenly disappeared just now, maybe she changed her appearance."

"But why did she turn into a demon?"

"Maybe she's already spotting us to avoid our tracking, right?"

"I don't think it's possible, that woman has just entered this area, how can she have time to change her appearance?"

"Anyway, we still have to find out who she is, or we won't be able to pay the difference when we go back."

"I think that the demon clan has nothing to do with that woman, maybe we think too much."

"I don't believe in evil, I think it's possible."

"Do you want to send some people to continue tracking and see where that demon clan has gone?"

"It's okay, let's split into two parts, one part of the people will continue to follow, and the other part of the people will go back to report the situation to His Highness."

"Okay, then we'll go our separate ways."

Several demon clan minions discussed with great interest, and expressed their own speculations and opinions one after another. Although some people are skeptical about the claim that the demon clan that has just appeared is related to Lin Jia, more people are still inclined to believe this possibility. After all, their tracking mission just now was interrupted by the suddenly disappeared demon clan, which made them feel very unhappy, and now that they happened to have a target to track, of course they didn't want to let it go easily.

So, they divided into two parts, one of them continued to follow the demon clan that had just appeared, and the other part hurriedly returned to the territory of the demon clan, ready to report the situation to His Highness. They were constantly discussing during the operation, arguing about their opinions about the identity and intentions of this demon clan, some believed that she was related to Lin Jia, others were skeptical, but no matter what, they all decided to get to the bottom of the matter so as not to misjudge the situation.

Lin Jia cautiously continued to walk, entering some villages and forests from time to time to avoid being discovered by the demon clan's minions. She knew that the tracking ability of the demon clan was extraordinary, so she didn't dare to take it lightly.

Before entering each village and forest, Lin Jia carefully used her character card. Fortunately, with the character card, she is able to completely transform her appearance and identity into any appearance she wants, whether it is a human or a demon race, she can easily imitate it.

She took a deep breath, stood at the entrance to the village, and gently pulled out her character card. She closed her eyes and focused on imagining what she wanted to become. Her mind fused with the character card, and a faint light flickered in her fingertips, then gradually diffused, enveloping her whole being.

When the light dissipated, Lin Jia had completely transformed into another form. Her appearance, height, posture, and even aura have become completely different from before. She crept into the village and blended into the crowd. No one noticed her arrival, as if she had never existed.

After a period of observation, Lin Jia used the character card again and transformed into another person's appearance, this time as a villager. She continued to move, weaving unobtrusively through the village.

Then, she went into the forest again, using her character card to change her identity again and again, sometimes as a demon hunter, sometimes in the form of a beast, hiding her existence deeply.

Every time she transformed, she needed to consume some essence, but in order to avoid being discovered by the demon clan's minions, she had to constantly change her identity, constantly shuttling through villages and forests, and staying vigilant.

Although she felt a little tired from the change, she knew it was the only way to protect herself. Under the enemy's tracking, she must remain hidden until she can find a safer place to continue her search for her target.

In a hidden place, several demon minions hid in the jungle, keeping an eye on the target they had been following. However, half a day had passed, and they had never seen any trace of the human woman, which made them feel a little puzzled and anxious.

"You say, did that human woman slip away from somewhere?" A little minion asked with a frown, puzzled.

"It's impossible, we've been staring at her all the time, how can we not see her?" The other minion replied puzzled.

"yes, we've been here to watch, how could she slip out of our noses?" The third minion also said in confusion.

They exchanged strange glances, obviously not believing that Lin Jia would suddenly disappear. After all, they are always on high alert, trying to avoid the target discovering their presence.

"Maybe she's nearby, let's wait and see, maybe she'll show up." A small minion suggested.

"That's right, don't jump to conclusions, let's wait and see." The other minion agreed.

So, several little minions continued to wait in the jungle, and they looked around from time to time, hoping to find Lin Jia's traces. However, little by little, time passed, and they never saw her shadow.

"It could be that we missed something, or maybe she had some special means that prevented us from discovering her." This possibility has been raised.

"It's also possible that she's already out of the area, and we need to check around again." Another minion suggested.

They began to search the surrounding area, hoping to find Lin Jia's traces, but everything seemed clueless. They looked around wearily, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"No matter what, we can't give up, keep searching, and make sure we find her!" A little minion said firmly.

The others nodded in agreement, and they decided to continue their search, not missing a single possible clue. In any case, they must not allow the human woman to escape from under their noses, or they will not be able to account for it to His Highness.

Several demon minions began a search in the nearby village, and they split up to different places to ask the villagers if they had seen a young woman. However, they soon felt the unfriendliness and suspicion of the villagers.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for that girl? A villager asked warily.

"We were just looking for a friend nearby and might have gotten lost." A little minion tried to explain.

"Friends? I don't think you're like a good guy, you guys get out of here! Another villager said dissatisfied.

Despite their attempts to explain their purpose, the villagers are clearly suspicious of these strange demon minions. They were reluctant to talk more, and even some villagers started calling out to others, attracting more people's attention.

"It's not going to work like this, they're not going to tell us anything useful." A small minion whispered.

"Yes, they're wary of us, should we do something else?" Another minion suggested.

A few minions discussed it and decided to take a more cautious approach. They no longer openly inquired, but spread out and secretly inquired, trying to get clues about Lin Jia from some villagers.

"That girl, how does she look?" A little minion whispered to an old woman.

"Oh, do you mean the young woman? She was dressed in green and looked pretty too. The old woman replied with some hesitation.

"Green clothes, beautiful women......" The minions exchanged glances with each other, as if they had found some clues.

They continued to inquire secretly, and gradually got some information from the words of some villagers, and it seemed that someone had seen a woman in a green dress, but most people were reluctant to talk about it. At least they have some direction now, though.

"It seems that the woman did come to the village around here, should we continue to investigate?" A minion asked in a whisper.

"Yes, we can't let go of any clues, as long as we continue to work hard, we should be able to find her traces." The other minion said firmly.

They decided to continue their investigation in the nearby villages and find the human woman at all costs, not only to complete the mission, but also to live up to Her Highness's trust.

The demon clan's minions searched carefully in the nearby villages for a while, however, they still couldn't find any trace of Lin Jia. Frustrated, they realized they didn't have the time and resources to continue their search.

"We've searched several villages, but we haven't found any trace of the woman." A little minion said dejectedly.

"Yes, we've done our best." The other little minion also felt helpless.

"This task may indeed be too difficult, let's go back and ask His Highness for guilt." The third minion suggested.

Several of the minions discussed it and agreed to go back and report their situation to His Highness. Not wanting to waste any more time in this area, they decided to inform His Highness of the defeat, and perhaps His Highness would have other arrangements.

They regrouped and prepared to leave the nearby village and return to the demon base. Although they did not achieve their task, they also understood that there were many cultivators in this area, and Lin Jia seemed to be unusual, so it was difficult to predict her movements. Perhaps, what awaits them is a wiser decision and the next step of His Highness.

"Our mission has failed, and we can only go back and ask His Highness for guilt, hoping that he will understand our efforts." A little minion sighed.

"Yes, we didn't find the target, but at least we did our best." Another minion added.

They silently left the nearby village and returned in the direction of the demon base. In this mission, they may not have achieved their original goal, but at least they have put in the effort, and for the good of the tribe, they will persevere and continue to serve His Highness, no matter what difficulties they face.

The minions returned to the base of the demon clan and immediately went to His Highness's residence, ready to plead guilty to him. They stepped into the temple and looked respectfully at His Highness, who was sitting on a high seat.

"Your Highness, we have not found any trace of that woman, the mission has failed, please punish you." A little minion said in a trembling voice.

His Highness watched them silently, with no anger or reproach on his face. His gaze penetrated the minds of the minions, and seemed to have insight into their efforts.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault." His Highness spoke slowly, his voice calm.

The little minions raised their heads in surprise, but they didn't expect His Highness to blame them, which made them feel a little incredible.
