Chapter 70: Eager to Return, Heading South to Find the Traces
Returning like an arrow!

I don’t want to explore the maze anymore, I want to go home!

However, such a complete ancient teleportation array must be recorded!
Before turning around and leaving, Sun Zecheng took out the jade slip and copied the image of the teleportation array into the jade slip.

Then he put away the jade slip and left quickly, returning the same way.

Returning to the secret passage "Rat Palace", the intermediate spirit stone that had been used to penetrate the Yin-Yang Formation had already exhausted its spiritual energy, revealing the original form of the formation flag. It seemed that no one had followed this place in the more than two years since it was closed.

Sun Zecheng hurried forward, quickly put away the set of formation equipment that had performed great services, packed up and left.

Go home! I want to go home!
All the way back to the bottom of the inn, the secret passage with the circle and S, this time Sun Zecheng has learned his lesson. He did not show up in the inn, and directly used talismans one after another, escaping hundreds of miles away from the abandoned inn, activated the escaping talisman, and sacrificed the white towel magic weapon embroidered with white clouds in the secret store, and then a white cloud suddenly flew up from the ground and rose into the sky

After rising to a high altitude, it did not return directly to the east, but flew hundreds of miles to the north on the Baiyun magic weapon, then suddenly landed, hid underground, and then hid underground for another hundred miles to the east. Its route was tortuous, sometimes in the air, sometimes in the soil, and sometimes visible and invisible.

Of course, this cannot guarantee that there will be no mistakes. All I can say is that if you still can't get rid of the tracking after doing this, you have to accept it!
After entering the Huangfeng Valley, still in stealth mode, they headed straight for Lei Wanhe's cave. Outside the cave, the Murong brothers were practicing the Heavenly Thunder Strike, but Nie Ying was nowhere to be seen.

Sun Zecheng hid behind the Murong brothers, waiting for Nie Ying to appear.

The Murong brothers used their "Heavenly Thunder Strike" to blow up the valley into huge pits with burnt trees and flying rocks. The two brothers have now reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and the power of thunder magic they used together is astonishing.

Sun Zecheng watched for a while, and was just thinking about not going far away before appearing again, when the two brothers ran out of magic power and stopped to rest and chat.

"Oh, I don't know where Senior Sister Nie and Master have gone and why they haven't come back for so long," said the younger brother of the Murong brothers.

"Maybe they are going to hunt down the evil demons. Didn't Master tell us before we set out? Some evil Jindan cultivators have infiltrated our Yue Kingdom and told us not to leave the Huangfeng Valley," said the eldest brother of the Murong brothers.

"Oh, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Senior Sister Nie is not here, so it is not fun at all," said the younger brother.

Damn! This guy is so smart, he's thinking about my Nie Ying! Sun Zecheng was so impulsive that he almost kicked his brother in the butt.

"Go back and meditate and practice. Building your foundation sooner will allow you to help Master and Sister." The brother said as he stood up and went back to the bridal chamber.

"Brother, wait for me." The younger brother also stood up and followed.

……

Nie Ying was not there, as she had gone out with her master. When Sun Zecheng received this news, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

After being lost for a moment, Sun Zecheng suddenly thought of the infiltration of the magic elixir cultivators? Wasn't the time for the magic invasion not yet arrived?
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that in the original novel, the messenger sent by the Yuling Sect to contact the Spirit Beast Mountain was a Jindan. After Han Li killed the King of Yue in the capital of Yue State, he took a detour to the southwest and found that his childhood friend Zhang Tie, or Qu Hun, had been occupied by a Yuling Sect monk for five or six years. Then the Spirit Beast Mountain rebelled and the six sects of Yue State collapsed. The six sects retreated, and Han Li was teleported to the Chaos Star Sea. Han Li was 31 years old at that time, so if we count back five or six years, it must have happened recently, right?
It makes sense when you think about it this way. There is no reason why the seven sects would discover a Jindan cultivator from the Yuling Sect in their own territory and have no follow-up after severely injuring him. At least they should track down where he went and find out what this Jindan cultivator from the enemy country wanted to do by coming to Yue State.

But according to the Murong brothers, Nie Ying and Lei Wanhe had been gone for a long time, and they had no idea what was going on.

Since Nie Ying was not there, Sun Zecheng did not want to go back to Green Wave Cave. Firstly, he came back empty-handed without catching any sand lizards, and he had been gone for a long time, so he felt that he could not report back. Secondly, he had not yet figured out a story to explain where he had been for more than two years, and he also had to make up a story about his improvement in cultivation... He was eager to go home, but when he returned to Yellow Maple Valley and found that Nie Ying was not there, he suddenly realized that he did not want to stay in the valley anymore.

Sun Zecheng quietly left Huangfeng Valley again.

where to go?
If Nie Ying and her master Lei Wanhe were tracking down the Yuling Sect's golden elixir, they should be in the southwest or south of Yue State. Why don't I go to the southwest to see if I can run into them?
……

A month later, Sun Zecheng appeared in the dense forests of the mountains west of Jiayuan City in Lanzhou. He had been asking around along the way for a month, but there was no news about Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying.

Fatty Lei's physical features are so obvious, and he has a beautiful apprentice with him. It should be very conspicuous and easy to remember. People who have seen him will not forget him. What's more, he is a cultivator? But no one has seen him. I think they should be acting in secret.

But when they were tracking down a Jindan cultivator from an enemy country, didn't they also have to ask other cultivators about their situation? Why were they sneaking around chasing down a severely injured Jindan cultivator in their own country?

Forget it, Sun Zecheng thought about it and decided to use his advantage as a time traveler who knew the plot in advance and go directly to find "Qu Hun".

In this way, Sun Zecheng came directly to the dense forests in the mountains a hundred miles west of Jiayuan City. As for the leader of the Siping Gang in Jiayuan City, Sun Ergou, although they all had the surname Sun, Sun Zecheng had no interest in meeting him. He was just wondering why such a guy was so well taken care of by Han Erlangzi. Han Li treated Sun Ergou better than his own family.

Another character in Jiayuan City, the eldest of the three girls of the Mo family. In the past, Sun Zecheng might have taken a look at her appearance, but now Sun Zecheng has no interest in even taking a look at her.

If the other party does not restrain his breath and hide, it is relatively easy for the cultivator to find the cultivator with the help of the Sky Eye Technique.

At night, it was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Sun Zecheng used the magic of the third eye to fly over the dense forest several times with the white cloud magic tool, and finally found a spot of white light.

Landing silently behind "Qu Hun", this former Jindan of the Yuling Sect was now only at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he was meditating and practicing.

It seems that the soul shedding and taking over another body has caused him great damage, and he can't sense Sun Zecheng behind him at all.

"You work very hard!" Sun Zecheng casually released a fireball in the air to illuminate the surroundings, and joked at the same time.

"Who are you!" Qu Hun was frightened when someone touched him from behind without him knowing it and suddenly a fire lit up in the darkness!
"Are you a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Qu Hun quickly sensed Sun Zecheng's cultivation level.

"I should be the one asking you, which sect or school are you from? Why are you so diligent and practicing so hard in this desolate mountain with no spiritual energy?"

"I... I am a disciple of Lingshou Mountain," Qu Hun said after a moment of hesitation.

"Really? Who is your master? Why don't you go back to Spirit Beast Mountain? Why do you stay in this desolate mountain with no spiritual energy?"

"..." Qu Hun didn't speak for a long time.

"The disciples of Lingshou Mountain don't even know who their master is?" Sun Zecheng continued to tease.
