There were countless peaks in the Northwest Mountain Range. They seemed to be smiling and sleeping. With the purple twilight, they lay quietly on the west side of the green spring field. If you called them, it seemed that these distant mountains could slowly walk to your side.
At a glance, there were undulating mountains, one after another. Some were tall, some were sharp, some were horizontal, and some were vertical. They were in different shapes. Some were like camels, some were like monkeys, some were like long winding snakes, and some were like galloping wild horses.
It was as if they had been standing there since ancient times, quietly watching and observing ….
A figure flashed past. He was running freely among the mountains. His feet almost never touched the ground. He seemed to be weightless, and was only being carried along by the mountain wind that passed through the forest like an elf.
His ears twitched from time to time, and his eyes flashed with a bright light. Everything in front of him, even the tiniest speck of dust, could not escape his gaze.
Finally, He Yiming stopped. His eyes fell on a sparse patch of grass and trees.
Looking at the fresh traces on the ground, He Yiming knew that he had successfully caught up with these people of the totem clan.
This time, there were more than a hundred people from the totem clan. Although there were only totem envoys and great envoys who had reached the Xiantian realm who had really fought in the Heng Mountain Range. But along the way, there were nearly ten times more ordinary totem clansmen who served these lofty statuses.
It was because there were so many people that He Yiming was able to smoothly track them down in just a few days. If there were only some totem envoys and great envoys, they would have returned to the depths of the mountain and could never be found again.
Gazing into the distance from the forest, one's line of sight was blocked by the forest and naturally could not see anything. However, when He Yiming closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sound of the wind, a clear image appeared in his mind.
Two or three miles away, it was the place where the totem clan had set up their camp today.
Although they lived in the depths of the mountain, the living conditions of the totem envoys were not inferior to those of the experts who came from outside the mountain. The sun had not completely set yet, but someone had already cleared out some space for them and finished setting up their tents.
Perhaps because they lived deep in the mountains, these people did not cut down trees for land. Instead, they built their tents between the trees. The tents were set up in a rather ingenious way, evenly distributed in a circle. Furthermore, there were only twelve tents, which were clearly prepared for the twelve envoys. As for the rest of the ordinary totem people, they were only qualified to sleep in the wilderness.
He Yiming deeply breathed in the fresh air of the forest. The blood in his body had completely calmed down.
Then, he took out the silver necklace and infused it with a wisp of True Qi. A moment later, the spatial world appeared in front of him.
He Yiming reached out and put the glaive into the Space World. He then took out a long sword and a pair of shoes.
This was the spoils of war he had obtained after killing Sima Yin. In order to protect the secret of the silver necklace, he had never used it. But this time, it was the best opportunity to use it.
First, he put on the shoes. He Yiming tried to infuse a wisp of True Qi into it. Then, he jumped lightly. His body suddenly turned into an afterimage, flying forward at an incredible speed.
Although this speed was still not as fast as the instantaneous leap between two points and a line, it was already very terrifying.
He Yiming's eyes flashed with joy. He quietly felt the changes brought by the shoes under his feet. In just a moment, he had a rough understanding of the situation.
Although He Yiming didn't know what this pair of shoes was made of, when He Yiming imbued different types of qi into them, the effects were completely different.
Among the five elements, only when using the Water Cultivation Method, could he feel as light as a swallow and run like a tiger with wings. When he used the Earth Attribute Cultivation Method, not only did this pair of shoes not help him in the slightest, but it also gave him a feeling of being pulled down. Moreover, the more Zhen Qi he poured in, the stronger this feeling became. It was as if there was a heavy object under his feet that was dragging him down.
Other than that, when the Gold, Wood, and Fire True Qi were infused, there was basically no reaction. Obviously, this pair of shoes could only be used by Innate Experts of the Water or Earth Element.
However, there was probably no Innate Expert of the Earth Element who would wear this pair of shoes and ask for trouble.
He Yiming lightly bounced twice, and with a thought, he infused his wind attribute zhenqi into it.
In the next moment, his face suddenly changed.
The moment the Wind True Qi appeared, this pair of shoes immediately became a bottomless pit. The speed at which the True Qi was devoured even made He Yiming, who had condensed the Flower of the Wind, feel a chill in his heart.
At this moment, this pair of shoes seemed to have become another silver necklace. If he had not successfully condensed the Flower of the Wind, it would have been a huge burden to constantly maintain this pair of shoes.
The only thing that made him rejoice was that this pair of shoes would only have such an unforeseen event when infusing wind type True Qi. If he were to use any other type of True Qi, then even if He Yiming wanted to infuse it with such a terrifying speed, he would not be able to do so.
However, when a huge amount of Wind True Qi was infused into this pair of shoes, He Yiming's eyes revealed an uncontrollable joy.
His body had already floated off the ground. Although it was only a few centimeters, it was already a huge and unimaginable impact for him.
It wasn't difficult for a Xiantian expert to run at a high speed for a short distance without touching the ground. Almost any expert of this level could do it easily.
However, to be able to stand still and float in the air just by relying on one's own True Energy was a legend.
At least, as far as He Yiming knew, in this world, there was no one who could do this.
His body swayed slightly. His body, which was floating in the air, was obviously not used to the current movement. However, he only paused for a moment and had already grasped the trick of keeping his body in an absolute balance.
Glancing at the shoes at his feet, He Yiming took a deep breath. He resisted the urge to shout to the sky and slowly calmed down the shock in his heart.
He was sure that this pair of shoes must have a great origin. It was far from being comparable to an ordinary Noble Relic.
The True Qi in his body flowed continuously. The True Qi of water, earth and wind took turns to infuse into the shoes. He Yiming kept trying and adapted to the changes brought to him by this pair of shoes at an unimaginable speed.
He Yiming seemed to have forgotten about the totem clansmen who were a few miles away. He was completely immersed in the various ways of using the Noble Relic.
After a long while, He Yiming finally stopped and let out a long sigh.
The reason why he changed his clothes and hid the glaive was that he did not want to alert the enemy. However, he did not expect that when he used Sima Yin's equipment, it would bring him such an unexpected surprise. It seemed that his previous idea of casually disposing of the shoes and the sword should be corrected.
After all, if this pair of shoes fell into the hands of an Innate Master who was proficient in Wind, the effect it could play would not be less than that of the silver ring. With the help of this pair of shoes, the success rate of his revenge would naturally be higher.
The long sword in his hand trembled, and a bright sword flower appeared in the air.
Although He Yiming's weapon was not a long sword, when his martial arts skills were low, he had played with swords for several years. Although they were some basic skills, in the hands of an Innate Master like him, even the simplest stab was enough to cause great damage.
Various types of Genuine Qi were also injected into the long sword in turn. Slowly, He Yiming figured out a little trick.
Within the Noble Relic, there seemed to be good and bad.
In the past, the armguard Noble Relic that Lu Xinwen gave to his disciple was undoubtedly the lowest level. Now, the shoes on He Yiming's feet and the long sword in his hand were definitely several levels higher.
The long sword was narrow and thin. At the tip of the sword, there was not a blade. Instead, it was like a snake's forked tongue, forming a unique and terrifying fork.
Looking at the fork, He Yiming's heart was filled with coldness.
Those who were stabbed by this sword would definitely be injured more seriously than those who were stabbed by an ordinary long sword.
This was a "death" sword that was specially used to kill people. Moreover, it was a one-hit kill.
He Yiming could inject all the Genuine Qi that he had mastered into the long sword, but the effects were different. As for how to unleash the most powerful power, that could only be revealed in actual combat.
He waved the long sword in his hand a few times, dancing out a dazzling light. However, when his Genuine Qi was transferred to the Water Element, a black color suddenly appeared on the body of the sword. When he waved it again, this black color had already disappeared into the pitch-black forest night. No signs could be seen anymore.
He Yiming sighed in his heart. In the past, when Sima Yin launched a sneak attack on him, it was in broad daylight. If it was at night, then the danger of this sword would be unavoidably greater.
The test of the long sword and shoes was completed. At this time, the bright moon was already in the sky above his head.
The soft white moonlight drew a clear outline of the forest in the mountain range. The shadows of countless trees lay horizontally on the slope, like the shadows of giants.
The sound that the clairaudient caught told him that the big messengers and envoys had already gone to bed. And one-third of the ordinary totem clansmen who were on night watch were responsible for the surrounding area. Any movement in the wind or grass could not be hidden from them.
However, He Yiming smiled coldly. He took the sword and wore the shoes. In an instant, he had already disappeared into the endless forest.
He was like a ghost in the night, silently drifting forward.
This time, he did not even make the slightest sound. At the same time, under his feet, he was really floating in the air.
The ability of this pair of shoes was really powerful. When a huge amount of Wind Genuine Qi was poured into it, not only could it allow one to fly in the air, but it could also restrain the huge amount of Genuine Qi, without leaking a single bit.
For He Yiming, as long as he had a good sense of balance in the air, and restrain all of his Genuine Qi, there would be no possibility of him leaking out.
At this point, he finally understood how Sima Yin had avoided his clairaudient technique in the past.
Of course, this kind of extremely hidden flying in the air also had many disadvantages. Especially in the height of floating, it could only be maintained at about half a meter, which was far from satisfactory. However, when used to track in the forest, in terms of not leaving any traces, this effect was unique.
Soon, He Yiming had arrived in front of the camp.
His target was not the powerful Totem Envoys and Totem Envoys in the camp. His target tonight was the ordinary Totem clansmen who were on guard outside.
The moment he confirmed Shui Xuan Jin's death, he had already decided that all the Totem clansmen who came to Hengshan Mountain this time would be buried with the old man.
This was the first time he had such violent emotions and made such a decision. Even if he knew that there would be innocent people among them, he did not regret his decision.
Controlling his body to float a few centimeters above the ground, He Yiming quietly came to the side of a small tree.
Beside this small tree, there were three Totem clansmen. Their eyes were bright and full of expression. Although it was late at night, their spirit was still highly concentrated. Their eyes were like a falcon's as they patrolled the surroundings from time to time.
Just from the sound of their breathing, He Yiming knew that their Inner Strength cultivation had reached Level Eight to Level Nine.
Not only the three of them, but the rest of the Totem clansmen who came with them were also like this.
There were nearly a hundred Level Eight and Level Nine Inner Strength experts in the Houtian Realm. Even in Hengshan Mountain, they were a force that could not be underestimated.
However, it was also because they all had such powerful strength that they could become Totem Envoys in the future. Therefore, He Yiming wanted to kill them.
Like a ghost, he suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
The black light swept past like a poisonous snake. The three of them did not even have the slightest reaction. He Yiming's long sword had already pierced their bodies. The long sword was nurtured with powerful Water-type True Qi, which instantly shattered their internal organs into pieces.
The three of them fell down softly. However, under He Yiming's control, although they were dead, they did not really fall down. Instead, they leaned against the tree trunk beside them. From afar, there was no abnormality.
Similarly, they did not make any sound from beginning to end.
Then, He Yiming's body slowly floated backward. Whether it was on the tree or on the ground, he did not leave a trace.
There were a total of 30 Totem clansmen who were responsible for guarding the surroundings. They were stationed in different places in groups of three.
He Yiming carefully turned half a circle and consecutively killed five of the groups in silence. However, when the fifth group succeeded, a sense of danger surged in his heart.
He Yiming had always firmly believed in his own feelings without a doubt. He immediately gave up the plan to continue the assassination. He floated away like a ghost.
The shoes on his feet really had an incredible function. Coupled with the ability of the wind of nature that he barely mastered, he was able to escape a few miles away without alerting anyone.
When he arrived there, He Yiming's ears twitched. He listened to the sounds coming from afar, taking in all the changes that had happened after he left.
※ ※ ※
Just after He Yiming gave up the assassination and left decisively.
The ground in that area suddenly moved. Then, a figure jumped up from the ground.
It was an old man who was only as tall as an ordinary child. There was a strange snake on his body. The reason why he was able to travel freely underground was because of this strange snake's special ability.
His eyes were cold to the extreme, like a venomous snake that was terrifying to behold.
However, when his gaze fell on the three Totem clansmen who were already dead but were still leaning on the tree, the look in his eyes suddenly fluctuated strangely.
A sound like a poisonous snake hissing suddenly came out of his mouth. Although this sound was not loud, the whole tent seemed to be ignited and immediately became lively.
A few figures flashed and all the Totem Envoys appeared beside the Snake-Man.
Their gazes turned and they immediately understood what had happened here. Their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
Suo Ge's eyes flashed with anger. He suddenly raised his head and roared. Whether it was still in the tent or the Totem clansmen in charge of guarding, they all rushed here as if they had received an order.
"Search …" Suo Ge's voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth.
Everyone immediately dispersed in an uproar. After a few breaths, exclamations sounded from different places.
Every time a cry of alarm sounded, the Totem Envoys' faces became more and more ugly. After a moment, all the dead bodies of the fifteen Totem clansmen had gathered in front of them.
Everyone, including Suo Ge and the Snake-Man, was furious in their hearts. However, in their anger, there was also a chill that penetrated their hearts and lungs.
With their keen eyes, they could naturally tell that these people had been killed tonight.
They could easily kill fifteen Totem clansmen who were at the eighth or ninth level of Houtian internal strength. However, inside these clansmen were the tents where the Totem Envoys and the Great Envoys lived.
If he wanted to kill fifteen people in a row right beside them without making a single sound …
If this matter were to spread out, the Totem Envoys and the Great Envoys would lose face.
"Brother Snake, how did you find out?" Suo Ge took a deep breath. His heart was shocked and frightened. If the target of the sneak attack had been him, what would have happened?!
The Snake-Man slightly shook his head and said, "I didn't find the abnormality."
Everyone was startled. The Snake-Man had been the first to warn them.
Under their gazes, the Snake-Man patted the strange snake wrapped around his body and said, "It was the Stone King. It smelled the scent of death."
Everyone suddenly understood. The Snake Clan originally represented the Death Clan. Being able to sense the arrival of death was not surprising.
