Chapter Seventy-Two: It's Humen Again

Finally, he came to the ridge where he had been forced down the mountain stream by Purple Wuji, and near here, he found the smell of purple smoke again. In addition to the smell of purple smoke and purple boundlessness, there was also the smell of Ouyang Jie and two other people, it seemed that they had all come here to find traces of themselves or purple smoke.

The smell of purple smoke swirled down the gentle slope on the side of the mountaintop, and she made a great circle to the bottom of the valley, and judging from the path she passed and the traces left behind, she had barely managed to get down with the help of a rope.

The smell of purple smoke lingered around the pool at the bottom of the stream for a long time, and then it went down the stream and out of the mountain. Apparently she had gotten the news that she had fallen overboard here, and was looking for herself along the stream.

In this way, tracking became easier, but Tian Xu's worries became heavier and heavier. He had been in the nameless lake of the lower reaches of the river for a long time, but he had never noticed the purple smoke or even smelled her scent, so was she in danger before reaching the lake?

His worries were not unfounded. When there were still more than ten kilometers away from the Divine Lake, the smell of purple smoke left the river, and at the same time as this change of direction, there were also the smells of several other people, one of whom he had smelled before, it was the head of the Tiger Gate, Hu Dawei!

The scent of several people in Humen left the river at the same time as Ziyan, and they moved along some rugged terrain, obviously Ziyan was evading Humen's tracking. In addition, in the process of tracking that stretched for more than ten kilometers, there were also traces of several battles, apparently after the fleeing Ziyan was chased by the people of Humen.

On a battlefield, Tian Xu also smelled blood, but fortunately, it was not the blood stains of purple smoke.

Ziyan is just a high-level realm of gathering qi, far from being the opponent of the Hu Dawei of the Ning Dan Realm, not to mention that this Hu Dawei also has at least five subordinates. Ziyan was able to escape so far when he was being tracked, and injured the people of Humen in the battle, Tian Xu guessed that this tracking incident must have happened at night, and Ziyan could only do this at night by relying on eyesight far beyond ordinary people.

If Ziyan can't get rid of Humen's tracking before dawn, once dawn and the advantage she used to protect herself is lost, she will immediately face danger.

In a narrow valley, things take a turn for the better, and a new scent joins in. Although it was not the smell of a cultivator that Tian Xu was familiar with, it still reassured him, because he smelled the smell of the giant bear that was adopted as a mount by Zhou Aiping, and also saw the marks of the bear's paw left on the ground.

With Zhou Aiping's strong strength at the peak of Ning Dan, not to mention killing Tiger Dawei in seconds, it should be easy to drive him away.

However, the development of things was different from what Tian Xu imagined, after the giant bear appeared, the smell of purple smoke was no longer obvious, and it was estimated that he sat on the bear's back with Zhou Aiping. But the Humen group did not retreat, but continued to follow the footprints of the giant bear. This is strange, didn't Zhou Aiping drive the people from Humen away?

Tian Xu suddenly remembered the news he had seen on the cultivation network: Zhou Aiping escaped after being injured by Zi Wuji!

"It can't be that after Aunt Zhou was injured, she couldn't drive the people of Humen away, right? In this case, Ziyan and Aunt Zhou would be in danger. Tian Xu's heart, which had just been put down a little, suddenly hung again.

After following the footprints of the giant bear for a few kilometers, Tian Xu found the remains of the giant bear after being killed in a place close to the grassland, so it is certain that Aunt Zhou must have lost the ability to fight against Hu Dawei, and the injury should be extremely serious, otherwise she would definitely not watch the giant bear being killed by the people of Humen.

After the death of the giant bear, the smell of purple smoke and Zhou Aiping was not found on the ground, Tian Xu was a little strange, looked back for a while, and finally found the smell of purple smoke and Zhou Aiping at the foot of a hidden mountain. Tian Xu guessed that they were separated from the giant bear here, and let the giant bear lure the enemy away in order to escape.

Sure enough, behind the footsteps of the two of them leaving this time, there was no sign of Humen following.

After the two escaped a few hundred meters, traces of vehicles appeared on the ground, and the car drove straight to the east, seemingly having temporarily escaped Humen's tracking.

Tian Xu was a little relieved, unfolded his olfactory imaging, and followed the rut marks left by the wheels, and strode towards the southeast.

After Tian Xu traced the traces of the rut for a distance, he found that another car merged into the rut from the side, and it is estimated that Humen found the two people driving away, and also found the car and chased it up. The rut marks of the two cars walked not far away, and they merged into the many rut marks that came here to see the sacred lake, and they could no longer be traced.

Tian Xu couldn't see how long this rut had been left, but judging from the degree of dissipation of the smell before, this chase and escape battle should have happened at least a week ago, no matter what the outcome was, there must have been a result now, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't change the outcome of the matter.

Since he has a super sense of smell, Tian Xu has gradually become a master of tracking, and he knows that once the tracked object gets on the car, merges into the traffic or gets on the road, without the help of the camera, the tracking can basically be declared a failure. He reluctantly stopped, and began to look around with olfactory imaging, and had lost hope for this tracking.

Tian Xu didn't expect that this last observation gave him an unexpected surprise. About a kilometer behind his right, he spotted an acquaintance.

When he came out of the Medicine King Dou, in order to deter the curious people who came here, he had taught two cultivators who rowed into the water, and this time he found that it was the Ning Dan Realm cultivator among them.

At this time, the people gathered by the lake had long since dispersed, and only the Ning Dan was lurking alone in a patch of grass. The man looked to be in his forties, and it seemed that he was still not giving up, hiding here in the hope of discovering some secrets.

Tian Xu went straight to the place where the man was hiding and said, "Come out, don't hide, I have something to ask you." Tian Xu was in a bad mood, and his tone of voice was not polite.

Unexpectedly, the man was not angry, stood up from the grass, and Okita Xu respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Yang Qilong, in Xia Tianbo Mansion, listen to the orders of the lake god, stay here without authorization, and ask the lake god not to be surprised." He actually recognized the identity of Tian Xu, the "god of the lake".

Tian Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then thought that this person might have recognized his voice, and he didn't know his identity as the "lake god" of Tianbo Mansion at the moment, and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
