Ling Jian unleashed his lightness techniques, his body almost parallel to the ground as he flew, carefully searching for the unique scent in the night sky. This was a new toy that Li Xue had created. It was colorless and odorless, and could be mixed into a person's blood or attached to a person's clothes. There wouldn't be any difference. However, if the person who was tracking the person applied the corresponding medicine to their nose, the smell would be like a thousand miles of incense to them. However, the smell was the complete opposite of the word 'incense'.
It was extremely smelly!
After Ling Jian applied the powder to his nose, he immediately discovered the route that the nine people had taken. Along the way, it was like an old farmer carrying a bucket of dung. Furthermore, the bucket was leaking.
The stench along the way was unimaginable!
Ling Jian felt as though he was hiding in a dung pit. In his heart, he had already cursed Miss Li Xue over and over again. She really deserved to be called a witch. Even the medicine she made was so disgusting. However, in all fairness, he couldn't help but admit that this medicine was indeed miraculous for tracking. It was just that … it was a little too smelly.
Ling Jian didn't know that the medicine that he had applied to his nose was the only one of its kind. The only medicine that Li Xue had concocted was a mixture of two extremely stinky ingredients, and she had used it on him. The medicine that Ling Chi and the rest applied to their noses was a faint fragrance. To reverse the smell and turn it into a stench was much more difficult than the original smell. It was at least ten times more difficult!
Li Xue had also spent a lot of effort in order to achieve this. Originally, Li Xue had intended for Ling Tian to enjoy. However, she didn't expect that Ling Tian would slack off tonight … As such, Ling Jian was gloriously caught in Li Xue's line of sight.
Ling Chi and the rest naturally didn't know that. They only felt as though they were in the midst of a blooming spring, following the alluring faint fragrance. They were all extremely satisfied, and felt that this kind of tracking was one of the greatest joys in life. They didn't even feel tired at all …
Compared to Ling Chi and the rest who were searching for pilgrims, the number one assassin in the world, Ling Jian, made a cameo appearance as the man who chased away the stench!
After chasing for a while, Ling Jian had already keenly sensed that there were three stinky smells that had come out and circled around before returning to the original path. In other words, there were still six people who had gone out. The assassins carefully continued their pursuit. At this time, they had already left the city and were heading east and south.
After a short distance, another three scents circled back to Sky Bearing, leaving only three scents behind.
Then, after chasing for another thirty miles, the six assassins gathered together. They advanced together. This was because there were only two scents left. Moreover, they were spreading along a line. In other words, the remaining two people were together.
Tower Lord Ling Jian was already a little dizzy from the smoke. Along the way, even with his incomparably tenacious tolerance, he actually had the urge to vomit crazily several times. Ling Jian was surprised when he saw that the other five people all had comfortable expressions on their faces and were breathing in big mouthfuls of air. They seemed to be enjoying the smell very much!
Why didn't he realize that these few fellows had the habit of chasing away the stench? Just what was going on?
Before Ling Jian could say anything, Ling Chi had already realized that something was wrong. It was just too obvious. The five of them were all radiant with happiness. Only Ling Jian's face was wrinkled as though he had eaten feces. Furthermore, he had eaten a large amount of feces.
"Brother Jian, is there something wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Did you circulate your inner qi too quickly and your inner qi went astray?! "Ling Chi asked worriedly.
"It's all because of this tracking powder!" Ling Jian was fuming with anger. "It's just too smelly, too unpleasant!"
"Ah? Smelly? Unpleasant? "Ling Chi almost cried out in shock. "How is that possible! Brother Jian, is there something wrong with your nose?! "
However, after trying the tracking powder that Ling Jian had used, Ling Chi was immediately knocked down by the stench. He rolled his eyes and took in a few deep breaths. After all, the difference between smelling good and smelling bad was just too frightening! Thinking about how Ling Jian was able to track them all the way here despite the stench, Ling Chi could not help but look at Ling Jian as though he was looking at his idol. "Brother Jian, my admiration for you is like the endless waves of the ocean … you are really able to do what others can't! Ling Chi admires you … "
Ling Jian was so angry that he almost fainted.
Using his fastest speed to change into the tracking powder, only then did Ling Jian realize what kind of torture he had suffered. One was heaven and one was hell! From smelly to fragrant, it was just like going from hell to heaven!
However …
While Ling Jian's face wasn't bitter, it was completely black. His entire body was emitting killing intent, scaring Ling Chi and the rest into silence, not daring to say a single word. At this moment, whoever opened their mouth would be looking for trouble!
It was pitch black in front of them, and it seemed to be a small village. From the looks of it, there were no more than 200 households, with a population of 500 to 600. Such a small village was not rare in the surroundings of Sky Bearing City.
When the two people arrived, they completely disappeared without a trace. Only the faint fragrance lingered in the small village.
The surroundings were dark, and Ling Jian suddenly felt that something was wrong. With a wave of his hand, the six of them stopped.
Hiding behind a small hill, Ling Jian began to think about why this small village gave him such a strange feeling.
"It's too quiet!" Ling Chi said in a low voice, pointing out the biggest abnormality!
"When the two of them entered the village, there were no barking sounds at all!"
"There were also no sounds of domestic animals."
"There isn't even anyone snoring in this village!"
As they pointed out their doubts one by one, the six of them looked at each other. Even with their experience, they could not help but feel their hair stand on end. This was just too strange. What kind of village was this?! Why was it so lifeless?!
"Brother Jian, according to our experience, there is only one possibility for such a situation to occur." Ling Chi's eyes flashed with anger, and they came to a conclusion.
"Everyone is dead?!" Ling Jian said in a low voice. He also understood that this was the only logical explanation for such an abnormality.
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Ling Chi bit his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "There are still many people breathing in the village, and there is also a faint white fog in the sky. This is only possible if there are signs of human habitation, and the human habitation is very dense. According to my estimations, not only are all the original villagers dead, there are also a group of people disguised as villagers living in the village. "
"And these people are all extremely cultured, even more so than soldiers. I believe that they are either from Above Heavens or Tamago!" Ling Jian nodded his head slowly. "This village should be their nest!"
"The entire village was massacred, and not a single chicken or dog was spared!" Ling Chi said in a low voice. "Killing people and occupying their houses, men, women, old, and young were not spared! How vicious! "
"But after killing so many people, there should be a large amount of blood in the air." Ling Feng raised a question. "But there are no traces of blood in the vicinity. How do you explain this?!"
"Time." Ling Jian spat out a few words coldly, and the eyes of the six people were filled with anger.
Exterminating an entire family was something that the six of them had done before, and it was something that they had done countless times. But those who were killed deserved it! Massacring an entire village was something that they had never done before. Furthermore, those who were killed were obviously the most ordinary villagers!
Such actions were already close to beasts. No, they were beasts!
"Since the entire village is our enemy, we will be too conspicuous if we go in together." Ling Jian said solemnly, "You guys wait here. I'll go in alone first and check out the situation before we talk."
"Brother Jian, be careful." Ling Chi and the rest had no objections. Whether it was in terms of martial arts or movement techniques, Ling Jian and the rest could not compare to him. With him taking action now, he was the best choice!
Ling Jian's body slid along the ground, and after a few breaths, he had already reached the outermost wall of the village. Without stopping, he slithered up the wall like a gecko. Just as he came out of the wall, his entire body twisted, and he slithered into the village like a boneless snake. Following the two distinct fragrances, he silently made his way to the center of the village.
On top of an ordinary-looking brick house, Ling Jian silently stopped. At the same time, he tried his best to retract all of his aura, stopping the beating of his heart, and retracting all of his aura. At the same time, he circulated his divine arts with all of his might, extending his six senses to the maximum.
At this critical moment, he could not afford to make any mistakes!
No less than four powerful spiritual senses swept over, and Ling Jian's heart trembled. The security was indeed extremely tight! It was already close to dawn, but the people inside were still maintaining such vigilance!
Faint voices of conversation could be heard intermittently, "… Preparations … are almost complete … Don't worry …"
"… The sooner the better! The big plan is at this time, and there must be no mistakes. "
"All of the herbs have been prepared, and we only need to wait for the transportation to arrive. When the time comes, we will have to see the direction of the wind."
"En, very good. So, let's not contact each other from now on. When the time comes, we will act according to the plan. "
"Do we need to deploy a few dozen more people?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Just do your own thing! "
…
The voices of conversation inside came to an end, and the faint crowing of roosters could be heard from afar. There were faint signs of white in the east, and the sky was about to brighten.
Two black-clothed figures quickly floated out. Without anyone sending them off, they flashed twice like ghosts, and quickly disappeared. After a long while, several figures rose up from the surroundings, and cautiously looked around. They did not find anything strange, and then returned to their original spot.
Ling Jian's body wriggled a few times like smoke, and disappeared like smoke with the wind …
Early morning, in the Ling House's courtyard.
Ling Jian, who had not slept the whole night, stood in front of Ling Tian, and his spirit did not seem to be weak at all.
Ling Tian's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "Ah Jian, are you saying that the village is full of enemies? That there are many experts? Is this information accurate?! "
"There is no mistake! There are at least 500 people in the village. Among them, there are no less than 20 Xiantian experts, and at least four top experts, "Ling Jian said seriously.
"En, did you hear them mention any herbs?" Ling Tian frowned and asked.
"Yes! And there should be a lot of them! "
"Good, immediately deploy people to monitor the village. Once they discover anything being transported in, immediately report it and act immediately," Ling Tian said slowly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Yes! Young Master, how should we deploy the manpower? "Ling Jian asked.
"When the time comes, you, me, Ling Chen, and Li Xue will all act at the same time! Ling Chi and the other 50 people will all participate in this operation! Do not let a single person escape, and finish them off cleanly! "Ling Tian raised his palm like a knife, and slashed down decisively!
"Killing innocent villagers, slaughtering the entire village of men and women, old and young, this is intolerable!" Ling Tian's face was gloomy, and he stood up. "Those who kill must be killed! Everyone must be captured alive, and when the time comes, find the place where the villagers are buried and sacrifice them! "
"This matter must be done in secret, and the Tamago people in the city must not hear of it!"
"Yes!"
