Chapter 521 Mist
Po Yuan, who was near the exit, did not go far. After he sent the Jihuo Sect out of the mountain gate, he found that Lou Xiu had come. However, he was not in a hurry to enter the mountain gate, so he hid nearby, wanting to see what Lou Xiu was going to do.

The reason why he paid special attention to Lou Xiu was because of the matter in Dazhi City. He also agreed with the judgment of Li Xianghong, the lord of Dazhi City, about Lou Xiu, and felt that Lou Xiu might be related to A Xun's death. However, they could not produce any evidence, and Lou Xiu was protected by someone above him. As a result, not only was he fined, but he was also sent to Yaoshan City, which had better conditions, to serve as the chief of the inner court.

It is impossible to say that I have no objection to such a result, but as I said before, there are people behind them, so you have to have evidence for everything!

However, because of this secret observation, he noticed something unusual and discovered another acquaintance from Dazhicheng, the clerk at the Dazhicheng Bookstore. He even remembered his name, which was Wang Ping!
It had not been a few days since the shocking incident in Dazhicheng. He had paid attention to everyone in Chaoyue Library, so he was naturally familiar with Shi Chun, a clerk. Moreover, he had specially observed him that night, so there was no way he would recognize the wrong person.

How come the guy from the library appeared here and even entered the sacred mountain? What is going on?
With a look of surprise and suspicion, he stared at Wu Jinliang again. He didn't know Wu Jinliang, but at a glance at his appearance, he was obviously the tall guest from Beishan District who was leaving he had just heard about.

It can be seen that Lou Xiu and Jiang You'er were very polite to the tall man and seemed to be chatting and laughing with each other, while the bookstore clerk stood by with nothing to do, still acting like a clerk.

His eyes jumped back and forth between Lou Xiu and Shi Chun a few times. Two people from Dazhicheng appeared here. Could it be related to the incident in Dazhicheng?
He had no evidence and could only guess. He could only continue to wait and see and could not even question easily, otherwise he would face a struggle within the sacred mountain!

Once a struggle breaks out, it is difficult to live in peace. Internal struggles are sometimes more brutal and exhausting than actual fighting.

Lou Xiu, who was outside the mountain gate, had also seen the people from the Jihuo Sect leave, but he did not tell Shi Chun and the others. Instead, he politely exchanged greetings with Wu Jinliang before parting.

Of course there are also ways to retain it.

But inexplicably, Shi Chun suddenly became alert to this farewell. He did not notice anything, but he felt that something was wrong from some sequence of events.

After being polite, Shi Chun controlled the wind scales and carried Wu Jinliang into the air and flew away.

While the man was still in the process of taking off, Shi Chun used the special ability of his right eye to look around below. The flight route suddenly turned into a "C" shape in the air, changed the route midway and headed straight for Yaoshan City.

Wu Jinliang was surprised and asked, "What happened?"

Shi Chun: "Someone is targeting us, they seem to be from the Jihuo Sect. We are too far away to see their source of power clearly. If they are really from the Jihuo Sect, we can't escape like this."

He really didn't know, but the alertness in his heart made him make the decision to act safely.

Wu Jinliang's expression instantly became serious. The Jihuo Sect had sent a master at the celestial immortal level to take charge. Once they were targeted, even if he had the ability to escape underground, with his level of cultivation, he would have no chance of escaping under the enemy's nose.

Not to mention those in the celestial realm, even if they are in the earthly realm, normally, if they don't have magic weapons to resist, they won't be able to escape using the earth escape technique.

The problem is that the fifth-grade magic weapons in their hands can only collide with those at the Earthly Immortal level at most. If they face the celestial immortal masters whose magic power is in control of both heaven and earth, they can be broken in a snap of a finger.

In front of the mountain gate, Jiang You'er, who was watching them leave, whispered, "Did he really let them get away so easily?"

Lou Xiu chuckled, "They can't run away. I'll inform you as soon as you give me the news. These two guys are making one move after another, and even you can't figure out their tricks. You've heard about their cunning for a long time, and you're worried that you can't control the situation, so you decided to play with them in a different way. Someone has already leaked the news to the Jihuo Sect. I saw with my own eyes that the Jihuo Sect's troops have come out first, and they've probably set up a network outside. The celestial master is here in person, and if they're targeted, it's basically impossible for them to escape."

Jiang You'er understood and said, "We'll save them after they take action."

Lou Xiu: "Whether to save them or not is another matter. My Lord wants to see if there are any other two sects behind them. If they are really fellow believers, there must be a certain sect behind their secretive actions. Once they are in danger, someone will naturally help. If no one helps, and the people from the Jihuo Sect pry open their mouths, it won't be too late for us to consider whether to take action or not."

Jiang You'er pondered and said, "I'm just afraid I'll lose him. I may not be able to catch up."

"They won't be lost. I don't think we need to follow..." Lou Xiu said as he looked around, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, there may be one of our people among the top leaders of the Jihuo Sect. The higher-ups won't be able to tell us where they are and what they confessed after their mouths were pried open. It's up to the higher-ups to decide whether to save them or not."

Jiang You'er suddenly realized what was going on, looked around, and responded in a low voice, "It's OK for you and me to know about this kind of thing. If it gets out, I'm afraid you and I won't end up well."

"Of course. This means I trust Brother Jiang." Lou Xiu said in a flattering voice, but snorted in her heart. If the other party was not a member of the inner sect and she was an outer sect, would she bother to please him?
"What happened to them?"

Jiang You'er suddenly let out a cry of surprise when he saw that the wind scales controlled by Shi Chun and his group suddenly turned back to the location of Yaoshan City.

Lou Xiuyi was also shocked and left immediately, "I'll go take a look."

Jiang You'er watched him fly away.

Inside the mountain gate, Po Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, was thinking about another thing. Was the sudden departure of the people from Jihuo Sect related to the departure of the two people just now?

It was because Qiu Ben was right beside them when he heard the news that the two were leaving. He was not sure whether Qiu Ben's sudden stop and change of mind was a coincidence or a decision made after hearing the news.

He was just a little suspicious at the time, but didn't take it seriously.

Until he saw the clerk in the library just now and Lou Xiu's support, the anger that had been forced to shut up in Dazhicheng's mouth began to surge up in his stomach again.

Meeting someone he could take seriously, he began to pay attention to Qiu Ben's abnormal behavior. He couldn't help but wonder, if Qiu Ben's sudden change of mind was not a coincidence, but was related to knowing the whereabouts of the two, then the Jihuo Sect's going up the mountain this time might be interesting.

Thinking of this, he took out the mother-child talisman and sent a message directly to the mayor of Dazhi City, Li Xianghong, asking: The guy named Wang in Chaoyue Pavilion, please help me find out his detailed information.

Li Xianghong responded quickly and asked: Why are you investigating him? He has already left Chaoyue Pavilion and was recruited by Bai Qiru to the Bai's Rice Shop. He seems to be contacting the source of goods.

"Bai's Rice Shop..." Po Yuan muttered in shock, and subconsciously looked towards the direction of the main peak. He naturally knew that the current head of the Bai family, Grandma Qi, had just arrived at the sacred mountain.

How did the Bai's Rice Shop get involved again? He was filled with suspicion. Could it be that Grandma Qi's visit this time was also related to this?
He felt as if he was suddenly trapped in a huge fog, unable to see through it or understand it.

He also became more and more afraid to act rashly. Although Grandma Qi had been a servant in the Phoenix Clan for many years, with her influence in the Phoenix Clan, if she could not decide his life or death with a single word, she could at least affect his future.

On the top of Dazhi City, Li Xianghong, who had not waited for a long time for a reply, walked to a pavilion on the edge of the mountain with the mother-child talisman in her hand, and stared at the direction of Bai's rice shop with searching eyes. She knew that Poyuan's sudden inquiry about a clerk should not be aimless...

In Yaoshan City, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, who were outside the city gate, quickly entered the city.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the two of them glanced around, nodded to each other, and turned into the nearest restaurant. They went upstairs to find a suitable seat by the window and ordered a pot of tea.

Not long after, several people in seemingly different clothes came hurriedly to the outside of the city gate. After entering the city, they looked around and began to search the streets and alleys quietly.

Shi Chun's right eye's special ability immediately identified the group of people as disciples of the Jihuo Sect. He retracted his head and whispered to Wu Jinliang on the opposite side, "Yes, they are from the Jihuo Sect."

Wu Jinliang cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, are they waiting for us?"

Shi Chun thought of the alert Lou Xiu had just given him when she saw him off, and he reminded her after a pause, "I wonder if someone leaked the news of our departure. I wonder if it has anything to do with Lou Xiu and the others."

"What do you mean?" Wu Jinliang was obviously shocked. He lowered his head and leaned over the table and whispered, "That doesn't make sense. This is his territory. If he wants to attack us, he doesn't need to go through so much trouble, right? If that's the case, once he orders the city gates to strictly check people in and out, we may not be able to get out after entering the city, even if we disguise ourselves."

His worry is not unreasonable. Every city is protected by a formation. If the formation is fully activated, the city can be sealed. Even if it is not fully activated, the daily separation between the city and the outside world is not for show. At least it is impossible for people to get in and out of the underground at will, and the earth escape technique is useless.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one would do something like flying out of the air and being chased by others.

"He's here." Shi Chun suddenly stretched his head and glanced out the window.

Wu Jinliang also peeked outside and saw Lou Xiu, who had just entered the city, looked around and then called the city gate guards over to say something.

Shi Chun called his servant over, threw some money at him, and asked him to help hire a carriage.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the restaurant. Shi Chun and the other man found the right opportunity to leave the restaurant and get into the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, Shi Chun told the driver, "Go to Zhulang Pavilion."

"Okay." The driver responded and drove away.

On a small peak in the main mountain range of Shenshan, there are lush forests and pavilions that are picturesque.

An old man in a black robe and with gray hair and beard came to the gate of the courtyard to ask to see Grandma Qi who had just settled down there.

This old man is Yin Fei, one of the three major mountain patrols in the central area.

Grandma Qi was as polite as ever. Upon hearing the news, she ran out to greet them in person. She was so polite that Yin Fei kept saying she didn't dare.

The two of them walked in together and sat down in the main hall.

After chatting for a while, Grandma Qi sent everyone around her away.

Yin Fei's tone also changed, and she whispered, "Those two people just left the mountain, and the place where they stayed is already being cleaned up. They said they left and will not come back."

Grandma Qi was surprised and asked, "Where is Huang Yingying?"

Yin Fei: "He's still here."

Grandma Qi was stunned. Didn't those two come for Huang Yingying? They left without even seeing her? She really came all the way here.
