Chapter 256 Pursuit
In the area under the jurisdiction of Ruyuefang City, on an open road.
Although foundation-building cultivators can fly in the air and Qi-refining cultivators can cross mountains and ridges, this consumes a lot of spiritual energy in the body. If an accident or a battle occurs, it will be very disadvantageous.
Therefore, in order to facilitate walking and transporting supplies, the Qingyun Sect area, like the mortal dynasty, has built roads that extend in all directions in these mountains and ridges and in major forces.
At this moment, on an intersection, a group of cultivators with green leaves on their chests and wearing green robes gathered and blocked a certain place.
"The wheel tracks are here, and they are gone." The leader was a disciple of the inner sect of Qingyun Sect, whose strength had reached the late stage of Qi refining.
At this moment, he looked at the traces that disappeared out of thin air on the ground, and his brows were deeply frowned.
"At this critical moment, someone dared to rob the resources provided. Do they really want to die so much..."
When he saw this scene, his eyes flashed with deep coldness.
It is a time of war, but someone dared to attack the spiritual objects collected by Qingyun Sect from various forces. They really don't know how to live or die.
The sources of various spiritual objects and other resources of Qingyun Sect can be roughly divided into two types.
One is the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect, which is the base camp in the rear, where the third-level spiritual vein is located. The monks use the huge spiritual vein to cultivate and refine.
Usually this type of resources are directly transported by Qingyun Flying Boat.
The second is the resources offered by various forces under the command, and this type is usually collected by people from various markets under Qingyun Sect. The forces in the jurisdiction of the area.
However, this type has always been transported by spirit beast carriages. After all, storage bags are not street goods. Unless they are precious resources, they are generally transported by carriages.
"The person who was originally in charge of the collection was an inner sect disciple like me, whose strength had reached the late stage of Qi Refining. He had several spiritual weapons on him and was accompanied by more than 50 cultivators. He just disappeared without a sound. He didn't even have time to send back the feedback picture of the soul lamp before his death. So the person who did it is most likely..." The inner sect disciple of Qingyun pondered, analyzing the current situation.
But while he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Foundation-building cultivator."
"Who?!" The sudden words made the inner sect disciple of Qingyun change his face.
Because in his perception, there should be no one around!
He turned his head suddenly, and at the same time, the cultivator in charge of vigilance also noticed the abnormality, and surrounded him with a look of uncertainty and nervousness.
I saw a young man in feathered clothes and star crown, who appeared beside him at some point, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and like the deep night sky in the sky.
"Greetings, elder!"
After seeing the person clearly, both the inner sect disciple and other cultivators changed their expressions and knelt down hurriedly.
"No need to be polite." Lin Chen said lightly, "Tell me about the current situation."
"Yes!" The inner sect disciple of Qingyun realized that the other party was the elder who came to build the foundation, and he could not help but respond quickly.
Afterwards, he quickly and concisely informed the situation here: "Report to the elder, my sect is responsible for collecting materials from various forces, a total of dozens of carriages, but all of them are here, and they have disappeared..."
After listening to the other party's speech, Lin Chen's eyes moved: "Not only did they plunder all the spiritual objects, even the carriages were gone, and there was very little breath left in the field?"
After speaking, he looked at the ruts on the ground that stopped abruptly, and the traces around, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
According to the traces at the scene, the convoy should have been completely destroyed without any resistance.
Then the murderer plundered the spiritual objects, destroyed the carriages, and then eliminated the traces. All of this was handled very cleanly.
But if that's the case, why did the other party leave such an obvious track? Are they afraid that others will not know? Or is this not the first scene?
'Misjudgment? There is no need. This is not the mortal world. There are many high-level cultivators who can track people. So what is the purpose of leaving this trace...'
Lin Chen thought about it and had a vague feeling that perhaps the murderer was not a human cultivator...
"Elder, what should we do next?" The inner disciple of Qingyun asked respectfully.
If it was in the mortal world, he should use his brain to think about the murderer's method of committing the crime, but for Lin Chen, why should he focus on this mess instead of focusing on someone else?
It's better to use some straightforward means!
So, he took out an oil lamp directly from the storage ring.
This oil lamp is very strange. The lamp seems to be stained with some dried blood for a long time. The oil in the lamp seems illusory and inexplicable, and there is a faint fishy smell all over the body.
Lin Chen snapped his fingers, and the lamp oil ignited directly. The dim light seemed to shroud the surroundings with a layer of dusk mist.
"Elder, this is..." The inner disciple of Qingyun standing next to him swallowed his saliva when he saw this scene.
If he saw it correctly, the moment the lamp was lit, a...human face seemed to flash by?
Lin Chen did not reply, but directly said: "Give me the aura you collected from the victim."
"...Yes, yes!" The inner disciple of Qingyun nodded quickly and handed over a piece of sound wind wood that collected aura.
Lin Chen took the branch and burned it on the lamp. At the same time, he directly used his achievement in the curse, the Soul-cursing Method!
Wherever an object passes, it will leave traces. Lin Chen can naturally use the Soul-cursing Method to track it.
Now there is only one day left before the convoy is destroyed. With the help of the breath, Lin Chen still has the possibility of tracking it!
Suddenly, the dim light enveloped it, even the sunlight projected from the sky was blocked, forming a strange area.
And in this area, countless figures continued to appear, densely packed, the number was unimaginable, and they overlapped with each other. At the last glance, they could not be counted.
These people are not real people, but images of the past that appear according to the breath.
The next moment, the rest of the figures began to disappear one after another.
Finally, under the shocked eyes of Qingyun Inner Sect disciples and other cultivators, only about fifty cultivators were left.
They saw at a glance that these were the dead cultivators in the huge convoy!
Huh——
Suddenly, as if there was a wind blowing, the fire flickered, and the scene in front of me suddenly darkened. When it returned to its original state, there was no one in the dim area.
But then, the flame on the lamp, as if affected by a certain force, fell directly to the west.
"It turns out that the murderer who killed these people went west..." Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
He waved his hand, and a small Qingyun flying boat brought out from the market fell out of thin air.
"You all come up quickly!"
"Yes!" In fact, they responded quickly and walked onto the Qingzhou.
With a large amount of spirit stones as energy, the Qingzhou took off and flew directly to the west.
In this way, after passing several hills and several jungles, the Qingzhou finally stopped above a mountain.
"Where is this?" Looking at the flame of the soul lamp in his hand pointing to the mountains below, Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he turned to look at the Qingyun inner disciples beside him.
After all, he came here for the first time, so he naturally didn't know the way.
"This is..." The disciple thought carefully and gave the answer, "This is Yuanzhou Mountain. The family that controls this place is the Bai family."
Yuanzhou Mountain, Bai family?
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
He wanted to collect precious spiritual insects and build a [micro-intelligent nano-cluster factory], so he had been arranging people to inquire about the corresponding information since he came back.
And the Bai family, if he remembered correctly, was a very famous force in the field of insect cultivation under the Qingyun Sect in the intelligence.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked down at the mountain under his feet and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this trip was not in vain..."
School is about to start. I will take a leave for the next two days. I have to rush to school.
As for the update, it may depend on the situation later, because there are much more troubles in our school than during the holidays, so I may not be busy enough, so I'm sorry, crying~
