In the room, after Fang Yizhu heard Chu Min say "someone is chasing", he immediately understood why he was left alone.
He saw the relationship between Chu Min and the other three. If the other three knew that there were pursuers at this time, it would be difficult for them to leave Chu Min alone here. As for himself …
"Morin has told me about your deeds." Chu Min said.
"Excuse me, excuse me." Fang Yizhu laughed. Morin's description of him was naturally an act of betraying his teammates.
"So you don't have any psychological burden now?" Chu Min said again.
"No, don't worry." Fang Yizhu said.
"That's good." Chu Min nodded.
"What do you need me to do?" Fang Yizhu said.
"It's not difficult, don't leave any footprints." Chu Min said.
"Didn't Morin deal with these before?" Fang Yizhu said.
"Not enough. The other party is not tracking the traces left by the walk, but the residual soul power. "Chu Min said.
"Even this can be discovered?" Fang Yizhu was surprised.
"Yes." Chu Min was certainly sure.
"Do you know who is chasing?" Fang Yizhu guessed. The soul power of the cultivator had unconsciously penetrated into the various movements of the cultivator. It was not unusual for ordinary actions like walking to have the soul power flow. But this was not using the soul power after all, and the traces left were minimal. If this could be discovered, the other party must be using a very profound ability. Chu Min knew that someone was chasing, and knew the method of the chase. It could be seen that she had a certain understanding of the enemy.
"Yes." Chu Min nodded.
"Since it is someone you know, you won't necessarily die, right?" Fang Yizhu said.
Chu Min didn't answer, and Fang Yizhu didn't continue to ask. In fact, he also knew that knowing someone didn't mean they were friends. The enemy was often someone they knew.
"Go." Chu Min said. The information she had given him was enough. With this information, it was up to Fang Yizhu to figure out how to completely cover up his tracks.
Fang Yizhu nodded.
"I'll take care of them," he said abruptly, as he turned away.
Chu Min smiled and didn't say anything else. After watching Fang Yizhu walk out of the room, she tested her courage and tried to prop herself up. She straightened her back and sat on the bed.
Outside the village, Draconis and Song Hua had already arrived. Draconis's eyes were faintly covered with a layer of brilliance. Under his eyes, a series of traces extended several meters forward, like wisps of steam rising from the ground, faint and about to disappear.
Following this trail, the two of them continued forward until they reached an abandoned courtyard.
Draconis glanced left and right, and after confirming that there were no other traces, he winked at Song Hua. Song Hua understood tacitly. After lightly circling the back of the house and looking around, he came back and nodded to Draconis.
There was no other exit. The other party had entered the courtyard and entered the house as his Commanding Eye had seen.
Song Hua, who returned to Draconis's side, asked with his eyes what to do next, but Draconis had already calmly stepped into the courtyard.
"City Lord!" Song Hua couldn't help but panic. Although the other party had injured two of them, they still had to be on guard. Lu Ping's combat strength really shocked Song Hua.
In the end, Draconis had already walked to the front of the house and pushed open the door.
The old house, which had long been uninhabited, was full of dust. Draconis glanced over and saw Chu Min sitting on a straw mat with her back against the wall. She didn't show the slightest bit of surprise at his arrival.
Song Hua, who was eager to protect his master, also hurriedly entered the house at this time. When he saw that there was only Chu Min in the house, he was immediately surprised.
"So you already knew that I was following behind." Draconis said.
"Since you knew it was me, you should have been more vigilant." Chu Min said.
"But you made them leave traces that were concealed, but not enough to affect me." Draconis said.
"So you think that your concealment is perfect?" Chu Min said.
"Yes." Draconis couldn't help but admit that when he saw these traces, he didn't think that Chu Min had already noticed him.
Chu Min smiled and took a big gulp from the wine pot.
"Long time no see." Draconis looked at her and began to greet her.
"Yes, long time no see." Chu Min nodded.
Was he going to start reminiscing? Beside him, Song Hua was dumbfounded. There was only a heavily injured Chu Min here, and the other four were nowhere to be seen. It didn't seem like he should stop here, right? Moreover, since the other party was hiding, it meant that Lu Ping's current situation wasn't good. Otherwise, with his strength, why would he need to do this? This should be the best opportunity!
"City Lord, how about I go first …" Song Hua couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't dare to disturb Draconis's reminiscing. He could only step forward and ask if he should chase first. However, he was interrupted by Draconis.
"Can you still catch up?" Draconis actually asked Chu Min.
"Your speed is about the same as I expected. Maybe there's still a chance." Chu Min said.
"But you've already reminded them to remove the traces." Draconis said. When he came, his Eye of Command only saw traces of entering the house, but he didn't see any traces of leaving. He had already guessed the reason.
"Maybe they'll carelessly leave some clues?" Chu Min looked like Draconis's advisor, helping him analyze the possibilities.
"This will definitely take some more time." Draconis said.
"So I have to remind you that Lu Ping isn't injured. He's just exhausted too much." Chu Min said.
"This is no different from being injured." Draconis laughed.
"But his recovery speed will surprise you." Chu Min said.
"So you're advising me not to chase?" Draconis said.
"If you don't want to die, then don't chase." Chu Min said.
"City Lord, let me go!" Song Hua couldn't help but say again. In his opinion, Chu Min was obviously bluffing. The more she said this, the more guilty she seemed. If the City Lord believed her and had some misgivings, then let him go and try this risk. Song Hua felt that this was a very good idea.
Draconis didn't say anything. He circled the house for two steps and actually sized up the furnishings in the house.
In an abandoned house, what could be left? There was a pile of dusty debris in the corner, a wooden table that was barely stable against the wall, and even the soil bed that Chu Min was sitting on was almost collapsed.
"Why bother?" Draconis suddenly said. The poor environment seemed to make him a little sad. It made him feel sad for his former friend's situation.
Chu Min just smiled and didn't want to answer this question. Moreover, they already had the answer in their hearts. Different choices led them to different paths. Who was right and who was wrong? That was a question that they would argue about when they were young. But now, in their eyes, there wasn't so much right and wrong. Both sides were doing what they thought was right. The conflict was also because of their standpoint.
Looking at each other's eyes that were no longer pure, Chu Min raised her wine as if to greet him.
"Let's go." Draconis suddenly said.
"Go?" Song Hua was shocked. Looking at the mayor's words, he didn't know whether or not Lu Ping and his group would chase after them, but did he intend to let Chu Min go just like that? Chu Min was also on the wanted list. She was on the same ranking as Lu Ping and the others!
"So unprincipled?" Chu Min said.
"There are only two of my old friends left. I'm a little reluctant to part with them." Draconis said.
"Two …" Chu Min's eyes suddenly lit up with some kind of light. It was memories, pain, and hatred. She obviously knew that the two old friends Draconis was talking about were her, and the other person …
"He's still alive?" She stared at Draconis.
"Alive." Draconis said.
"Where?" Chu Min asked.
"Since he's still alive, you should be able to guess where." Draconis said.
"You've seen him?" Chu Min said.
Draconis nodded.
"When?"
"Not long after I became Mayor Ren Zhiling." Draconis said.
"Good." Chu Min only said this word, but the atmosphere in the room seemed to have frozen.
"I wish you good luck." Draconis said. He had already turned around and walked out of this frozen atmosphere.
Rumble …
A series of muffled thunder sounded in the sky. The gloomy sky seemed to be preparing to rain again.
"Mayor …" Song Hua followed beside Draconis, wanting to ask for instructions. He could see the relationship between the mayor and Chu Min. It was definitely not as simple as ordinary friends. So he was not prepared to say anything more about Chu Min's matter. But should he really let Lu Ping and the others go like this?
Draconis's eyes surged with brilliance again. It was the Eye of Command.
Should he continue to chase? Song Hua's emotions surged.
"Come out!" Who would have thought that Draconis would suddenly shout.
He was hiding nearby? Song Hua was startled. He immediately put up his guard and followed Draconis's gaze towards the small forest opposite the courtyard.
After the muffled thunder, dark clouds rose. The sky was like evening, and the small forest looked even darker. Two to three seconds after Draconis shouted, a person slowly moved out from the forest.
Lu Ping? Morin? None of them. The person who moved out. Song Hua was shocked when he saw it clearly.
"Mayor Wei?"
Wei Tianqi was still a youth, but he had inherited his father's position. He was the Mayor of Canyon Peak City, and one of the commanders of the eleven districts of the Black Army Empire. Disregarding all other factors, he was on the same level as Long Xing in terms of status. They were on the same level.
Thus, even if it was Draconis, after seeing Wei Tianqi, he couldn't be rude. He bowed slightly and greeted. Wei Tianqi also returned the greeting.
"I hope City Lord Wei doesn't misunderstand. I'm not being rude to City Lord Wei. I'm just talking about the person in the forest," Draconis continued, the brilliance in his eyes not fading away.
There's someone in the forest?
Song Hua focused his senses, but he couldn't find any clues.
Wei Tianqi, who was standing at the edge of the forest, didn't seem to know what to do. He could only stand there helplessly.
"The person you're looking for isn't here," Draconis stood outside the house where Chu Min was hiding and said arrogantly.
Song Hua, who couldn't sense anything before, suddenly sensed the movement in the forest. It was extremely clear, as if it was responding to Draconis.
"Farewell," Wei Tianqi bowed to Draconis again outside the forest, then disappeared into the forest.
Who was the person in the forest? Song Hua was very curious. Wei Tianqi, the City Lord, was actually standing out to take the blame. Wei Tianqi wasn't very capable, but his status wasn't low. Furthermore, he was a disciple of the Southern Sky Academy, so he wasn't ordinary.
Song Hua was still muttering in his heart. Who would have thought that Long Xing would actually turn around and return to the dilapidated house.
"It's going to rain. Let's hide for a while before leaving," he said to Chu Min.
What kind of reason was that? Song Hua was speechless. No matter how heavy the rain was, it was nothing to cultivators. It seemed like he didn't need to worry about any credit this time.
