Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 490 - I'll Handle It_2


There's no choice, right now getting people to evacuate urgently is the most important thing. That group of people dragging their feet can be dealt with later.

To make the team understand the seriousness of the situation, so they would act quickly, he had to issue a clear reminder in an emergency: Lord A Xun is heading to the scene. His scent detection ability can track your escape route, the farther you run, the more time you can gain, go quickly!

Seeing the message from the Mother-child Talisman, both Wu Jinliang and Lao Changtai were taken aback. Wu Jinliang immediately approached the three assassins who could speak and asked, "Who is Lord A Xun?"

The three were all taken aback. Then one person quickly answered, "He is an Inspection Envoy sent from the Divine Mountain."

"Yes."

"Yes, yes."

The other two quickly echoed, as the person in front of them was unpredictable, and a slight mishap could lead to killing, all of them feared provoking a mistaken move.

The Divine Mountain is the background behind Dazhi City, and the City Lord of Dazhi City is appointed by the Divine Mountain.

This is no secret, and Wu Jinliang, who has been here for so long, knows it too. While showing the content on the Mother-child Talisman to the three, he asked, "Is his sense of smell very sensitive?"

Seeing this content, all three assassins couldn't help but feel tense, their eyes wide with terror.

Because they had to face a dilemma, once Lord A Xun arrived at the incident scene and smelled their scent, would they be able to return? And knowing that Lord A Xun could track them, how could this side possibly let them live?

Qiu Laosan hurriedly said, "It's okay, Lord A Xun's sense of smell is very sharp, but he can only detect ground scents. We came from the air using Wind Scale, and the scent is long gone with the sky wind, he cannot track here."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Indeed, definitely can't track here."

Is it really so? Wu Jinliang harbored hidden doubts in his eyes, or had to be cautious, and immediately tested, "Then if I secretly take you back to the city, should be fine, right?"

The three were stunned, after a little thought, Qiu Laosan hurriedly said, "Cannot go back, Lord A Xun's abilities are extraordinary, we've heard of him for a long time, although he can't track us here, he can remember the scent of the incident site. If he doesn't find us there, he will definitely investigate around Dazhi City, once he smells our scent, I'm afraid... we should follow the reminder on the Mother-child Talisman."

Wu Jinliang tilted his head to glance at Lao Changtai, then turned back and asked, "That means, the scent we left at the site, can this Lord A Xun remember it once he smells it?"

"He can."

"Probably can."

"But as long as we leave here, as long as we don't go back, he can't do anything to us."

The three answered in a rush again, even those who couldn't speak wanted to answer quickly, they knew if they continued this lifelessly, this ruthless giant would sooner or later silence them forever.

Wu Jinliang thought for a moment, and asked, "What is the cultivation level of this Lord A Xun?"

Qiu Laosan: "The cultivation level is not very high, it is said to be at the Human Immortal Great Achievement Realm."

Someone nearby added, "His abilities are special, and he is quite valued over at the Divine Mountain."

Wu Jinliang remained silent for a while, then got up and strode out of the cave, first sending back a message on the Mother-child Talisman in his hand: We are assembled and departing.

Lao Changtai, who followed and whispered, "This matter might be a bit troublesome. The scent we left in and around the city, I don't know if that Lord A Xun can smell it out, you probably went to the Master's hiding place quite a bit too, right?"

"It's been a while, he probably can't smell it out. But the stable there…" Wu Jinliang's muttering came to an abrupt end, knowing once the stable was tracked, Shi Chun couldn't hide it either, and his contact with Shi Chun from the library was no secret.

Without any more hesitation, he directly took out the Mother-child Talisman to contact Shi Chun, reporting this sudden situation to Shi Chun, to discuss what to do.

The library didn't receive guests at night, and the door was closed.

The tables in the front hall were pushed together to form a bed, that's how Shi Chun got through every night, with the dim streetlight outside filtering in.

Womenfolk lived in the back courtyard, not allowing him, an outsider, to stay without permission.

After reading the message while hiding under the bedding, he frowned, not expecting this matter to keep surfacing. After thinking for a while, he replied briefly: Do not act recklessly, I will handle it.

Stowing away the Mother-child Talisman, he lifted the bedding, listened for a while with his ears, changed out of the servant clothes, and put on the Treasure Robe he had stripped from Zhener in the Divine Fire Domain, swapped to the Cloud Stepping Boots, set foot down quietly, and walked to the door, performing a spell to hold the door.

The night was not deep, it had just entered nightfall not long ago, and there were still people coming and going outside.

Confirming that the path outside was temporarily empty, he conjured a gauze hat to wear, quickly opened the door slightly, and slipped out, gently closing the door.

Then, he quietly melted into the night streets.

Inside a room illuminated by a solitary lamp, Fan Wuzhe neither had the mind to sleep nor to meditate in cultivation, pacing back and forth in the room, filled with worry and anxiety.

Mei You said she would give him a heads-up after resolving the matter, but until now, she hadn't made any explanations, he was a little worried, once the truth came out, his father would be the first not to spare him.

Suddenly hearing footsteps approaching, Fan Wuzhe quickly returned to the bed, assuming a meditating and cultivation position.

Knocking on the door, the voice of the young lady Dong Liangyi came, "Cousin."

Fan Wuzhe hurriedly got up to open the door, only to see Dong Liangyi carrying a plate of fruits, she said, "Cousin, Father asked me to prepare some fruits for digestion."

Fan Wuzhe quickly took them with both hands and thanked, "Uncle is considerate."

After bowing and leaving, Dong Liangyi returned to the kitchen, staring at another plate of fruits, hesitated for a while, but eventually picked it up, walked out of the kitchen, through the courtyard, straight to the front hall, upon reaching the rear of the front hall door, she paused and hesitated.

Father didn't say to prepare a fruit plate for others, she casually made a portion for Shi Chun as well.

Their family education was very strict, especially with gender distinctions, their sisters were not usually allowed to run to the front hall at night because of another man sleeping there.

Their family also generally wouldn't disturb others' rest rashly, if there were things to move in and out at night, they would go through the side door.

After hesitating again and again, she smoothed her hair and tidied her clothes, steeling herself to walk in.

Under the streetlight outside, the front hall wasn't dark, just dim, she tried shouting, "Wang Ping, Wang Ping..."

Called several times, and even increased the volume, but still saw no response in the hall, she immediately sensed something was wrong, walked towards the cobbled-together table.

Upon approaching, she found nobody under the lifted bedding.

Glanced around and didn't find anyone; according to Wang Ping himself, he said his cultivation talent wasn't good, he never practiced at night, always slept soundly.

She tried extending a hand, under the unturned bedding, finding warmth remaining, instantly realizing Shi Chun hadn't left for long.

She circled to the door, peeking outside through the crack, found nothing notable.

Unable to express her care face-to-face, though slightly regrettable, she eventually placed the fruit plate beside Shi Chun's pillow and turned back inside...

Having left the city, Shi Chun removed the veil and directly drove the Wind Scale away.

He didn't go anywhere else, headed straight for the incident site at Zhelan Slope.

Flying swiftly all the way, reaching the sky above Zhelan Slope, seeing figures moving below, descended directly in front of a few people from the sky.

At the incident site, three guards from Dazhi City were present. Upon seeing Shi Chun, one person immediately questioned, "Who are you?"

Shi Chun glanced at the three's reactions, seeing they didn't recognize him, said indifferently, "There's an order from the Divine Mountain, where is Lord A Xun?"

Hearing it was someone from the Divine Mountain, the three immediately showed respectful faces.

The one who had questioned earlier hurriedly pointed a direction, "Lord A Xun smelled a scent and tracked it that way, there will be markers along the road for ease of investigation."

Shi Chun directly ordered, "You run along, tell Lord A Xun, just say there's an order from the Divine Mountain."

"Okay, yes." That person took the order and immediately flew away.

Shi Chun's right-eye superpower scanned the surroundings again, after confirming no others around, casually waved at the two beside him.

Those two were stunned, not knowing what it meant, suddenly felt immobilized in horror, wide-eyed seeing the newcomer drawing a blade and slashing at them.

After several successive slashes, Shi Chun sheathed his sword, pressed both hands on both people, cast a spell to release the immobilization skill upon them, then directly took them into the nearby bushes.

Simply tossing the dismembered bodies, he bounced out and drove the Wind Scale again.

Sticking close to the bushes, followed the direction of the previously dispatched person for a while, catching up with that person, stowed away the Wind Scale landing beside him, "I'd better personally go, lead the way."

Naturally, that person had no objections, and continued seeking the markers to lead the way.
