Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Gotta Think of a Way_1

"You’re saying that the people secretly watching us are little devils?"

Although Du Xishan was not from that era, his ancestors had suffered greatly, hence his words were filled with deep national hatred.

"We can’t be certain yet, but it’s highly likely." As you spoke, you slowly stood up and turned to look at Fan Yi, who was sitting among a group of girls, roasting chicken legs, "Let’s put this matter aside for now, and don’t tell Professor Sun. And we are currently in the dark, even though we’ve reached our destination. If we can’t find the exact location, our group might as well have come out just for a leisurely excursion. As for what exactly is hidden here, perhaps only the people of Yamato know."

Du Xishan’s eyes twinkled, and he smiled at you, saying, "In that case, why don’t we just wait at our leisure."

Du Xishan’s words precisely struck a chord with you, and the two of you exchanged a knowing smile.

Now that you had figured out the problem, you joined the others, casually sitting beside a girl you did not know, and lightheartedly began joking around with them.

Meanwhile, Xu Junjie was staring at you intently from the shadows, jealousy burning in his eyes under the reflection of the campfire.

In the mountains, there were none of the urban entertainments, so after everyone had eaten their fill, they all returned to their tents.

You and Du Xishan were sleeping in one tent, while Fan Yi was alone in the tent next to yours.

After a long day of travel, everyone was tired, and you all quickly fell asleep.

You naturally slept until dawn, and like usual, as soon as it was slightly light outside, you got up.

Upon leaving the tent, you saw that Fan Yi had also just come out, and upon seeing you, a serene smile once again appeared on her face.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"Hmm."

You had become accustomed to Fan Yi’s simple responses.

Since you couldn’t go for a morning run in the mountains, you discovered something very interesting instead.

After leaving her tent, Fan Yi didn’t head straight for the creek like you to wash her face and brush her teeth with the cold but clear stream water; instead, she walked over to the rock you had sat on the day before, sat down cross-legged, formed a hand seal with both hands, and slowly closed her eyes.

At first, you thought she was merely engaging in some kind of meditative practice similar to yoga, but you quickly noticed something extraordinary.

As you approached Fan Yi, you felt a stream of air slowly swirling around her, and you had the impression that something was converging upon her from all around.

Looking around, you saw that no one else was awake, and there was no one watching from afar, so you slowly closed your eyes.

Under the control of your thoughts, a warm current quickly filled your eyes. When you opened them again, you were surprised!

Because you saw that there was a misty haze around Fan Yi, sparkling like the energy forms you had sensed on the airplane, infiltrating her body in thin wisps and strands.

This scene only intensified your curiosity about Fan Yi’s identity.

Fan Yi’s breathing technique was shallow, and after about ten minutes, she opened her eyes, finally exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, and turned to look at you, dumbfounded.

Just then, a breeze swept through, lifting the soft strands of Fan Yi’s hair, casting upon her an enchanting and bewitching allure.

Damn it!

For a moment, you almost thought you had seen Zhao’er!

Quickly turning away, to regulate your breathing, you walked alone toward the old village.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the deserted village, a woman dressed in black stood under an old scholar tree. She was just about to reach out and touch it when she slightly twitched her ears, and as she turned her head, she saw you slowly approaching.

Although quite a distance away, you still spotted the woman in black at first glance.

Unexpectedly, the People of Yamato appeared at this time, and you hurriedly sprinted towards her!

Without a moment’s pause, the black-clad woman’s steps flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared right before your eyes.

Her speed had reached the point where ordinary eyes could no longer track her!

By the time you opened the Magic Seal, there was no sign of her.

Just as you were sighing at not having caught her, the woman in black darted into the thickets and arrived at a very secluded cave. Inside, five women dressed just like her were sitting, all with their faces covered, uniform in attire, their bodies as if cast from the same mold and even their hairstyles were identical. At first glance, it was impossible to distinguish who was who.

"Shadow Six, why have you returned so quickly?"

A soft and pleasant female voice came from deep inside the cave.

"Reporting to the Saintess, I was discovered by that man."

"Which man?"

"Li Muyun."

"Li Muyun?" The Saintess paused briefly, then realized, "Oh, I remember now, he’s the last person of the direct Li Tang bloodline."

"Yes, the elder specifically instructed before departing that if we encountered Li Muyun, we must avoid any conflict with him and must not harm his life."

Hearing this, the Saintess chuckled lightly: "The elder is really quite amusing. When Huang Chao breached Chang’an, she wiped out the descendants of the Li Tang Dynasty all at once, and a great many royal bloodlines died by her hand. Since then, what descendants of Li Tang could there still be? I wonder where this Li Muyun crawled out from."

"Regardless, we must follow the elder’s commands."

"I know, I know, during this journey, I’ll just do as the elder says," the Saintess paused then continued, "Did you find that entrance?"

"Your subordinate has not found it yet, but the range has been significantly narrowed."

"Oh, how so?"

"Your subordinate detected an unusual energy reaction beneath the large locust tree at the village entrance, perhaps that is where the entrance lies."

"The locust tree is the entrance?" The Saintess scoffed coldly, "I don’t think so."

"Does the Saintess have another lead?"

"There are no other discoveries for the time being, but I’m certain that the entrance is not the locust tree. The strange energy you mentioned is merely an evil aura, but the locust tree must be related to the ancient relic." The Saintess paused again, then said, "Here’s what we’ll do, Shadow Six continues to monitor Li Muyun and his crew, and the rest will keep searching for the entrance."

"Yes!"

You circled the locust tree three times but still didn’t get any closer.

Because you felt that there was something too sinister about this locust tree.

While the Magic Seal was active, through your eyes, you discovered that the locust tree’s old roots actually coiled into a round bundle, seemingly enveloping something within. However, since you couldn’t see through the earth, you could only sense that whatever was inside was definitely not ordinary.

Hiss—

What to do?
