I only heard a rustling of footsteps in the darkness, which suddenly alerted Xiao Suifeng.

Xiao Suifeng, who was sneaking quietly, heard the voice, and when he stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked cautiously into the depths of the dark woods.

What Xiao Suifeng chose at this moment was a secret route to the peak Aoki Villa that was relatively recent in the information given to him by Bailikong.

According to Xiao Suifeng's memory, he had traveled all the way, and he had almost traveled most of the distance at this moment, but he had not encountered an aurora and the patrol, which also showed the accuracy of the route provided by the Cold Moon Sect.

It's just that Xiao Suifeng's heart was only slightly relaxed for a moment, but in the depths of the woods in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared, which made Xiao Suifeng immediately nervous.

Fortunately, Xiao Suifeng was very vigilant and careful, and did not put all the success or failure of his sneaking on the information provided by the Cold Moon Sect, and he himself had always maintained a cautious attitude and did not dare to be careless.

And facts have proved that Xiao Suifeng's vigilance and caution are indeed very necessary.

It's like the black forest in front of him, if it was according to the information provided by the Cold Moon Sect, the nearest patrol route should be hundreds of zhang away, but right now, less than a dozen zhang in front of Xiao Suifeng, there were several people, and they happened to be across their own route.

At this moment, the night is vast, the woods are dark, Xiao Suifeng only heard the sound of footsteps and did not see a figure, but at this moment, who else can the people who appear within the range of this Aoki Peak be in addition to the patrol team arranged by Aoki Villa himself?

It can't be such a coincidence, there are other people besides himself who are infiltrating Aoki Peak, right?

If this was placed five years ago, Qiu Yiyan had not yet ascended to the position of sect leader, and there was still a time when Leng Cong was in power, maybe it was still possible, although the Leng Yue Sect at that time did not dare to have a head-on conflict with Aoki Peak under Leng Cong's orders, but the secret infiltration never stopped.

If it was at any time, Xiao Suifeng's actions at night like this, maybe it was really possible to encounter the infiltration agent of the Cold Moon Sect, but now, time is turning, after Qiu Yiyan became the sect leader, although the Cold Moon Sect's vigilance against Aoki Villa is still there, it is difficult to see the infiltration of Aoki Villa. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to take action, let alone the tense situation of the Cold Moon Sect at the moment.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Suifeng met someone in the deep forest in the middle of the night, and there could only be an explanation, and these people were the patrol people arranged by the Aoki Villa.

Xiao Suifeng had already been so vigilant in his heart, and he had always been worried about whether the information provided by the Cold Moon Sect was completely accurate, and the sudden appearance of these people at the moment undoubtedly verified the suspicions in Xiao Suifeng's heart.

Due to the fact that in the past five years, the Cold Moon Sect's infiltration of Aoki Villa has been very small, and the number of successes is equal to none, so for this once safe infiltration route, it is obviously not so safe now, and there was no patrol team in the position, and there were also patrol guards of Aoki Villa.

Such a change is undoubtedly an increase in the danger of Xiao Suifeng's infiltration of Aoki Villa, but fortunately, Xiao Suifeng is a fearless person, and he may have expected this, so he is not panicked.

Holding his breath, Xiao leaned down with the wind and quietly focused on the place in front of him where the sound was made.

I only heard a rustling sound not far away, only the sound of footsteps, but no one spoke, but Xiao Suifeng's sense was already sensitive, and now he has reached the cultivation of the sword qi realm, and the sensitivity of his senses has reached a higher level, so although the people in the darkness did not speak, and they could not see their figures from a distance, but with the almost undetectable footsteps, Xiao Suifeng still determined the number of those people.

It was not much different from the information provided by the Cold Moon Sect, and in the dark, there were five people in total, which happened to be the task of a patrol team.

With vigilance in his heart, Xiao Suifeng carefully paid attention to the guards of Aoki Villa patrolling in the darkness, originally planning to wait for this guard to go away before continuing to act.

It's just that, to Xiao Suifeng's surprise, these patrol guards of Aoki Villa, although the general patrol route is determined, but when it comes to specific actions, there is no specific route to go, and in order to avoid walking and patrolling on the same route all year round, it will leave traces, when they patrol, they often only choose one direction, but the real route is not.

This is a principle secretly implemented by the patrol team of Aoki Villa, and the secret agents of the Cold Moon Sect obviously still haven't figured out this characteristic of the patrol, so they don't mention it in the intelligence.

Therefore, the patrol team was obviously dozens of zhang away from his front, and he should have crossed from his own route, but the result was that when the patrol walked to Xiao Suifeng's route, he rested for a while, and when he was on the road, he suddenly turned around, thinking straight to the position where Xiao Suifeng was hiding with him.

This made Xiao Suifeng really taken aback, and his heart suddenly turned sharply.

Xiao Suifeng originally planned to quietly hide in the woods, waiting for them to pass, but now that patrol team was coming directly towards him, if he continued to lurk like this, I am afraid that there is only one ending, that is, he was directly hit by them.

It's just five guards in the realm of momentum, with Xiao Suifeng's current strength, it is only an instant thing to want to kill them, but the mysterious contact between the guards of Aoki Villa makes Xiao Suifeng unable to act easily, lest he expose himself.

If you can't make a move, you can only avoid them immediately if you want to avoid them.

It's just that at this moment, the patrol of five people has already revealed their figures, and they are only about ten zhang away from Xiao Suifeng's position, whether Xiao Suifeng is dodging sideways or jumping vertically at this moment, I am afraid that they will be discovered immediately.

The five guards are generally the same as the information provided by the Cold Moon Sect, one is the leader of the Momentum Realm, and the other four are the elite guards who are not in the Momentum Realm.

This pair of guards was obviously used to patrolling in this mountain forest all year round, and they saw that the master of the Momentum Realm was in the middle, while the other four guards, who were weaker than others, were located in the front and back, left and right.

They marched in an extremely regular manner, and they did not say a word to each other, but moved forward quietly.

It can be seen that although there are too few cases of Aoki Peak being infiltrated, especially in the past five years, with the Cold Moon Sect stopping most of the infiltration operations, almost no one dares to set foot in this mountain forest anymore.

However, even so, these well-trained Aoki Villa guards were still very vigilant and serious in their actions.

In order to avoid leaving his tracks, and to avoid being discovered by possible intruders, his movements seemed to be very light, and the rustling sound under his feet was that there was no other movement, so that the birds and finches among the dense branches and leaves of the forest were difficult to be alarmed.

Xiao Suifeng saw clearly the actions of the guards of this Aoki Villa and their well-trained, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's no wonder that the Cold Moon Sect has a safe route to Aoki Peak, why are there so many times that there are still so many failed infiltrations, and the number of successes is still only a handful.

If it weren't for Xiao Suifeng's perception that had always been sensitive, and the cultivation realm would far surpass those patrols and guards of Aoki Villa, and replace him with an ordinary person, in this dark night, I am afraid that he would not be able to discover their existence until these patrols and guards came closer.

It's just that if he is not the infiltrator who just needs to enter Aoki Peak at the moment, Xiao Suifeng doesn't mind praising the quality of these Aoki Villa guards, but right now, he is the infiltrator who guards strictly, and they are also coming towards their hiding place, which is a bit of a headache.

How good is that?

Seeing that the five guards of Aoki Villa were already slowly approaching their positions unhurriedly, Xiao Suifeng was also in a hurry, thinking of a way to deal with it.

Just when Xiao Suifeng didn't know what to do, Xiao Suifeng's eyes were sharp, but he suddenly found that on the tree not far away, there was a bird's nest that he didn't know what kind of bird it was, and there were two birds near the bird's nest squatting on the branch to rest.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, Xiao Suifeng didn't hesitate and thought about it, he picked up a small pebble from the ground, and then quickly bounced out without hesitation thinking about the direction of the bird's nest.

Xiao Suifeng's shot was fast and accurate, and it happened to hit the edge of the bird's nest, although it did not knock out the bird's nest, but it alarmed the two unknown birds and finches crouching on the edge of the bird's nest, and suddenly squeaked, and the wings flew up.

At this moment, it is already late at night, in this deep mountain forest, there are not a few birds and finches that inhabit, originally they were resting gently, but at this moment, as the two birds and finches were suddenly startled, let out a chirp, and suddenly seemed that the thousands of birds and finches in the entire mountain forest were awakened at the same time, and they all suddenly flew up, and the five patrolling guards were also picked up, and they couldn't help but stop and turn their heads to look at the sky.

And Xiao Suifeng was waiting for this opportunity, seeing that the attention of the five Aoki Villa guards was temporarily diverted, Xiao Suifeng did not hesitate, turned over slightly, and quietly flipped away from the original hiding place.

At this moment, Xiao Suifeng's figure is also extremely light, and between his actions, there is no sound like air, but his body has already moved a few feet away.

It's just that after Xiao landed quietly with the wind, he still felt a little unsafe, so he stepped lightly on his feet and swam directly up a dense and tall tree.

The branches and leaves of the big tree were dense, but Xiao Suifeng's figure was weird, but he drilled directly into the gap between the branches and leaves, so, as if a gust of wind was blowing, the branches and leaves of the big tree only shook slightly, and Xiao Suifeng's figure was already hidden in the big tree, and there was no sound at all.

Thousands of unknown birds and finches suddenly spread their wings and flew together, this momentum was not small, and suddenly only a sound of flapping wings was heard in the woods, but it just happened to hide Xiao Suifeng's actions.

On the patrol side of the Aoki Villa, one of the guards happened to accidentally guess a branch under his feet, and made a slight noise.

Although the sound was actually inaudible, even the birds and finches could not be alarmed, but when he stepped on the branches and made a sound, the birds and birds flew up one by one, so that the rest of the patrol could not help but look around and find nothing else, and their eyes could not help but fall on the guard.

For a moment, even the guards couldn't help but think that the birds and sparrows would suddenly be startled and fly, which was caused by the sound of stepping on the branches of the trees, so seeing that the rest of the people were looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and hurriedly lowered his head.

Although the patrol guards of Aoki Villa are indeed well-trained, even the elite scouts in the army may not be able to compare with them, but in this mountain forest, it is impossible to make no sound at all, and all kinds of unexpected movements are unavoidable.

It was not the first time that the birds they encountered flew together at such a moment, so after looking around and not finding any anomaly, everyone was not too nervous.

The guard of the Momentum Realm in the middle of the guard only looked at the guard who stepped on the branch, and said softly, "Pay more attention to your step." He didn't say anything, a team of five people, and then started the patrol mission.

It's just that the guards of Aoki Villa, who started patrolling again, are obviously more cautious than before, and they are also more careful about their feet.

However, Xiao Suifeng's figure at this moment is completely hidden in the branches and leaves of the big tree, not to mention at night, even in the daytime, standing under the big tree, he may not be able to find it.

In addition to Xiao Suifeng's cultivation of the sword qi realm, in front of this patrol guard of Aoki Villa, whose strength is only the realm of momentum, it is even easier to restrain his aura and hide his body, so that although the patrol guard walked not far under the big tree where Xiao Suifeng was hiding, he didn't notice Xiao Suifeng hiding in the big tree at all, and walked straight over.

Xiao Suifeng just hid in the big tree, silently waiting for the patrol team of Aoki Villa to go away, before he jumped lightly and quietly fell to the ground again.

Although the sudden appearance of this patrol team showed that the route that Xiao Suifeng had previously selected to the summit of Aoki Peak was no longer safe, Xiao Suifeng hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to continue on the road.

Although this road may not be very safe, but with the information of the Cold Moon Sect, Xiao Suifeng is more familiar with this road after all, so instead of taking the risk of taking other routes that he knows nothing about, it is better to continue walking. Although this also has to bear the risk, it is less risky than indiscriminately.

So Xiao Suifeng continued to go on the road, but Xiao Suifeng, who was on the road again, was also a little more cautious, just like the guards who had been patrolling.
