Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty
Chapter 427: Escape (fourth update)
"Mr. Lu..."
"I can only chase you here. The rest is not my business. It's up to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
The short middle-aged man in purple robe clasped his fists in thanks, then turned his eyes and scanned the crowd, saying slowly: "No matter how cunning the murderer is, he will not be able to escape our pursuit. No one we are chasing in Prince Chun's Mansion can escape!"
Everyone looked solemn.
The middle-aged man in purple robe said in a deep voice: "Now that we have caught the murderer, our mission is to catch them alive!"
"Manager Meng, what if they are stubborn and want to die?"
"Then we have to catch them alive!" The middle-aged man in purple robe said in a deep voice: "We have to find out who it is and who is behind it!"
"It's easy to guess. You know it's Dayun, right?"
"Dayun?"
"Dayun killed a lot of people in Huangquan Valley. If we talk about hatred, Dayun and Huangquan Valley have a greater hatred."
"Didn't Daqian kill anyone?"
"It seems that Daqian was not attacked..."
Because I haven't heard about the epidemic in Daqian, it should be that Huangquan Valley did not take action in Daqian.
"In fact, if you ask me, Huangquan Valley should still attack Daqian."
"That's right."
"These guys in Daqian are too rampant, especially those in Daqian Demon Sect. They are so bold!"
The more they talked, the angrier they became.
Because Daqian retaliated against the invasion of Dayong Wulin, it directly sent the masters of the Six Paths of Demon Sect to counter-invade Dayong.
The Six Paths of the Demon Sect sent out all their masters, all of whom were bloodthirsty and had amazing destructive power, causing Dayong Wulin to be both angry and somewhat afraid of Daqian Wulin, fearing that it would happen again.
They were not afraid of those with strong martial arts, but they were afraid of those like the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, who were both strong in martial arts and reckless.
The masters of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect were not reckless, but once they got excited about killing, they would fall into a state of madness under the influence of their magic skills, and would rather die than kill the opponent.
This madness made Dayong Wulin a little scared.
"Actually..."
"Actually what?"
"As far as I know, it's not that they didn't try to harm Daqian, but they failed and lost their lives. Huangquan Valley hates Daqian to the core, so how could they not take revenge?"
"These guys in Huangquan Valley are so insidious and vicious, and they haven't succeeded yet?"
"From what you said, it's more than once?"
"Well, at least twice, they didn't succeed, and the top players they sent out were killed."
"This is a strange news!"
They were immediately excited.
They should be angry and united against the enemy when they heard the news, but for some reason, they were happy instead.
It was because Huangquan Valley had gone too far and violated the harmony of heaven, and they were ashamed to be associated with it. They couldn't help but feel happy when they heard that they suffered losses.
"Daqian still has capable people."
"The one who can deal with Huangquan Valley is indeed not an ordinary person."
"Is it the Imperial Observatory?"
"It is very likely the Imperial Observatory. Once Huangquan Valley succeeds, many people will definitely die. It is a man-made disaster, and it must be visible in the sky."
"So, the murderer is likely to be a master of Dayun."
The Imperial Observatory can see through the sky, but it is impossible for them to send people to destroy Huangquan Valley.
It is their duty to see the sky, and it is not their duty to come to Dayong to destroy Huangquan Valley.
"No matter what, we have to catch them. Judging from the killing method, it should be the work of two people. There is a grandmaster. Should we force our way in?"
"If that doesn't work, let's use poison."
"Poison may not work... The poison in Huangquan Valley is very powerful. They are safe and sound, so they must not be afraid of poison."
Everyone was speechless.
The poison in Huangquan Valley is not comparable to theirs. If they are not afraid of the poison in Huangquan Valley, it will be useless for them to poison.
"What should we do?"
"We can only force our way in."
"... We don't have enough grandmasters."
"We need at least six grandmasters. Five grandmasters are not enough for them to kill."
"General Manager Meng has left. They should ask for a grandmaster."
Everyone turned around and looked around, and found that Meng Zhizheng was indeed gone.
Someone sighed in a low voice: "Alas, General Manager Meng will be punished this time. I don't know if he will be demoted."
"I'm afraid it's inevitable." Everyone shook their heads and showed sympathy.
"It's an unexpected disaster, but being responsible for the safety of Huangquan Valley is indeed a disgusting thing."
...
Meng Zhizheng hurried over with six grandmasters.
The six grandmasters were all worshippers of Prince Chun's Mansion. They looked solemn. When they arrived outside the cave, they all bowed and stepped aside.
Meng Zhizheng clasped his fists and said, "Six worshippers, the murderer should be inside. They are now defending in a dangerous place. I'm afraid we can only force our way in."
"Well, this cave should not be spacious. I'm afraid it won't allow too many people to take action. Only the six of us can go in."
"Okay, okay." Meng Zhizheng clasped his fists solemnly: "Thank you for your help."
The six grandmasters waved their hands reservedly.
Although Meng Zhizheng was one of the deputy general managers of the palace, as grandmasters, they were in a superior position and were not under his control.
The six looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Two thinner ones walked in front, two medium-sized ones walked behind, and the most burly and strong one walked at the end.
They divided into three rows and walked slowly towards the cave.
Meng Zhizheng and his men were waiting outside, in silence, listening attentively to the sounds inside.
There was no sound inside.
A quarter of an hour passed, and there was no sound.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and there was still no sound.
Half an hour passed, and there was still no sound.
"General Manager, it can't be..." someone whispered.
Meng Zhizheng's eyes widened.
The man stopped abruptly.
Meng Zhizheng said coldly: "They will never have any problems, they are six grandmasters!"
"General Manager, don't forget that Huangquan Valley has five grandmasters, and there are poisons to help."
"There are so many other people."
Everyone talked about it, with a worried look on their faces.
This made Meng Zhizheng's face gloomy and he glared at them coldly: "Are you hoping that the grandmasters will get into trouble?!"
If the grandmasters get into trouble, they will be fine.
Prince Chun has no reason to blame them anymore. Even the grandmasters can't do it, let alone their masters.
Of course, they kept these subtle thoughts deep in their hearts and would never speak them out.
But now they were exposed by Meng Zhizheng's words.
Someone whispered, "General Manager, let's go in and take a look."
"No, no, if the Grand Masters can't do it, we can't do it either. There are more people, but how many people are there in Huangquan Valley?"
"... I'll go in and take a look." A handsome young man said in a deep voice, clasping his fists to Meng Zhizheng and said, "General Manager, I'll explore the way and go in and take a look."
Meng Zhizheng was immediately moved and looked deeply at the young man in front of him: "Xiao Jin, you..."
"General Manager, I'm alone, it doesn't matter if something happens, but other people have families, if something happens, their wives and children will suffer."
"Xiao Jin..." Everyone was immediately moved and spoke up.
They were embarrassed to let him go alone, but they didn't dare to go in.
The Grand Masters were silent, and they would probably be in danger if they went in. Knowing that they were going to die, who would want to go?
Not to mention that he didn't live enough, he couldn't even leave his wife and children behind.
Jin Xiaoquan clasped his fists: "I'll go first."
After he said that, he turned around and went into the cave.
"Alas!" Meng Zhizheng sighed, moved but unable to say anything.
He just thought that if he could survive this time and not be demoted from the palace, he must promote Xiao Jin.
After Jin Xiaoquan went in, there was no news.
A quarter of an hour later, he suddenly came out.
Everyone was overjoyed and asked what was going on inside.
Jin Xiaoquan said: "There is a cave inside, with winding paths leading to the underground. The six seniors have already chased down. I saw a message on the stone wall of the cave."
Someone immediately reacted: "Damn, this is the retreat they found in advance, and they want to escape from here!"
"We have to chase them quickly!"
"Hey, they can't run away this time!"
"General Manager, let's chase them?"
Meng Zhizheng glanced at everyone: "Old Wang, Old Qin, you two stay here, in case someone cuts off your retreat."
He patted Jin Xiaoquan on the shoulder: "Xiao Jin, you've worked hard, let's go."
"Yes." Jin Xiaoquan led everyone in.
Only two middle-aged men were left with bitter faces, looking at each other helplessly.
This meant that the great work was lost.
When everyone entered the cave, only the two of them were left, and they began to curse and vent their dissatisfaction.
They felt that Meng Zhizheng was unfair, why did he let them stay here instead of others.
In the evening, the setting sun shone on the peaks.
When Meng Zhizheng and his group came out of the nearby peaks, they soon found their location.
The setting sun illuminated the forest softly, and the tired birds returned to the forest, chirping non-stop.
They, including the six grandmasters, had gloomy faces.
When they were halfway there, the grandmaster's aura they sensed suddenly disappeared, but there was only one way, so they continued to move forward and chased here.
Only then did they realize that they seemed to have turned a big circle.
This cave was really a pit, it was actually a closed loop, and it came back after a big circle.
I really don't know who has put so much effort into digging such a long tunnel leading to the underground, crossing an underground river and then going up, turning around and back.
If it was done by Dayun's secret agent, then Dayun is too powerful to have dug such a tunnel without knowing it.
This tunnel was discovered by Fakong accidentally.
He once used his clairvoyance and occasionally glanced at it and found something unusual, so he explored it out of curiosity.
Unfortunately, there was no adventure inside, only such a strange tunnel. Through the fate communication, he knew that it was the secret station of a certain sect.
This sect has been destroyed, and no one knows about this place anymore.
Fakong had already designed it in advance and used this place as a maze to delay time.
Lin Feiyang first brought a sword and a flute over, and after leading them over, he activated the Qianlong Pei, restrained his breath and the sword and the flute, and floated away.
With his lightness, it can be said to be easy and free, leaving no trace.
When they chased him, they lost their breath to guide them, but there was only one way. They had no choice but to keep going forward after losing confidence. Then they came out and found that they had returned to the adjacent mountain.
Meng Zhizheng said slowly: "Mr. Zhou..."
A handsome middle-aged man shook his head: "He has already escaped... With his light skill, I advise you to give up."
"Mr. Zhou, if his light skill is really superb, he should not stay here at this time, he should have escaped far away."
"It seems that he is injured."
"The injury may not be fully healed yet."
"Then do we still have hope to chase him?"
"Yes, there is hope."
“…It is also possible that he stayed here, recovered from his injuries, and tried his best to escape, so we couldn’t catch up with him.”
At this time, Zhang Yishan and Zhu Ni, led by Lin Feiyang, left the valley in the sunset and drifted towards the west.
They were trembling with fear all the way. They ran for a day and a night until they arrived at the Snow Mountain. They were completely relieved and rushed back to Shenjing in one breath.
They were very confused. Why did no one chase them after they came out of the valley?
