Chapter 230 The Hunter and the Hunted

This method is no longer used by ordinary robbers. Lin Changqing's first reaction was that the two people who were following were related to the Qi family.

So he simply didn't leave, and just stood there with Chen Ziya, staring at the two people who were following them.

This move was so sudden that it stunned the two people who were following. It was the first time they encountered such a situation and they couldn't react immediately, and their movements were unnatural.

Lin Changqing and the other man did not move, each staring at a monk who was following them. Soon the guards around them also noticed something unusual about the two men, and followed their gazes to the two followers.

This time the two people who were following could no longer stay. After looking at each other, they immediately separated, went straight into the crowd, and soon disappeared.

However, although he could no longer see them, Lin Changqing's spiritual sense was always staring at them. One of them was at a straight-line distance of one hundred feet, which was already the standard of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

They kept the distance at about eighty feet, and followed him slowly from a distance. The monk who was following them made two or three circles in the streets and alleys of the market town.

I was really cautious and finally entered a residential area, a very corner, a very remote yard.

He took Chen Ziya and hid behind a house about seventy or eighty feet away.

Even though Chen Ziya's spiritual consciousness had been in the Zi Yang Secret Realm and soaked in the Purple Spirit Liquid, it was only fifty or sixty feet wide now.

It is still far inferior to Lin Changqing. Now Chen Ziya is looking at Lin Changqing with surprise.

She knew that the monk who was following them had entered that courtyard, which was at least eighty feet away from where they were now. She speculated that Lin Changqing's spiritual sense was at least ninety feet, or even a hundred feet.

The strength of this spiritual consciousness is almost twice that of hers. Now the look in her eyes when she looks at Lin Changqing is full of admiration.

Lin Changqing also noticed the sparkling look in Chen Ziya's eyes when she looked at him, but he didn't have time to care what she was thinking.

Because another monk who was following them also came over and entered the courtyard.

The two adjusted their positions again and moved closer so that Chen Ziya's spiritual sense could also scan the yard.

Soon, in about a cup of tea, five monks came out of the yard. Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said to Chen Ziya: Junior sister, you stay here and continue to observe.

After an hour, if you don't find anything else, please return to the hotel where we are staying and wait for me.

If you find anything, you can only follow from a distance in the market town, and you are absolutely not allowed to leave the market town, do you understand?"

Chen Ziya nodded seriously and said, "I understand, I promise I will never leave the market.

Brother, you want to follow them, right? You should also pay attention to your own safety. If it is too dangerous, don't go. We will find a way when you come back."

Lin Changqing nodded perfunctorily, hugged Chen Ziya, and said nothing more.

Then he continued to stare at them with his spiritual sense and began to follow them slowly.

Unexpectedly, they went straight to the exit of the market town. After they left the market town, Lin Changqing thought about it and decided to follow them to take a look.

It is estimated that they should have flown for several miles before Lin Changqing arrived at the market town. Now those cultivators have long been out of his spiritual awareness range, but it doesn't matter.

Lin Changqing released Chuyi and Chuer about a mile outside the market town. He soon received news from Chuyi and the others that the direction in which the five people were flying was the direction of the take-off and landing field.

Lin Changqing also immediately flew in this direction. Not long after, Chuyi received news that they had landed in the woods.

In this way, Lin Changqing knew their plan. They should be planning to ambush them on the route that Lin Changqing and his companion must pass tomorrow.

Lin Changqing smiled secretly in his heart. Now it depended on who would ambush whom. He suppressed the sword light and landed immediately. He took out the magic weapon of light gauze, covered himself with it, and then moved towards the direction of the woods.

With his spiritual sense fully activated, he soon found them in the middle of the woods. Several people were setting up a magic circle, probably a hidden magic circle of some kind.

But they couldn't be allowed to complete the magic circle, so he raised his hand and released a group of purple crystal scorpions. After a distance of several dozen feet, the little guys quickly reached the designated location.

Not daring to waste time, Lin Changqing moved his mind and the five purple crystal scorpions attacked at the same time. Five extremely shrill screams rang out with very short intervals between them.

Lin Changqing rushed over immediately and saw that the five people had fallen to the ground and were twitching violently. He immediately took off their storage bags and spirit beast bags. In total, he got five storage bags and two spirit beast bags, and then tied them all up tightly.

To be on the safe side, I searched them all, but I didn't find anything else. However, I did tear off five of the Hidden Spirit Masks.

Without the masks, five painful and hideous faces were revealed, all of them were middle-aged monks in their forties or fifties.

Lin Changqing looked carefully, but didn't recognize any of them and had no impression of them. But it didn't matter. He would go back and take a good look, and then he would know what was going on!
After putting several people separately into the spirit beast bracelet, he also took back the formation plate and twenty-four formation flags they had just set up. The formation plate is a good thing and cannot be left here to waste.

Fortunately, I just saw the location where they set up the magic circle, and it has not been activated, otherwise I would have to ask Chen Ziya to come and deal with it.

After putting away the spoils and the five Hidden Spirit Masks, he scanned the area around the scene twice with his spiritual sense. After confirming that nothing was missed, he left the woods and returned to the market.

Because the whole process took a very short time, less than an hour.

So Lin Changqing did not go back to the hotel directly, but went to the small courtyard where he had just been and found Chen Ziya.

Seeing Lin Changqing appear, Chen Ziya hurriedly asked: "Brother, why did you come back so soon? How are those people?"

Lin Changqing couldn't help laughing, and said with a slightly proud look: "Of course not a single one was left out, all of them fell into my hands.

They left the market town and set up a magic circle in the woods leading to the landing field.

I guess they were planning to ambush us tomorrow, but I caught them all when they were setting up their formation. All five of them are here now."

After saying that, he raised his hand and shook it in front of Chen Ziya.

Although Chen Ziya didn't see anything, she knew that Lin Changqing's Three Treasures Spirit Beast Bracelet was on this hand.

However, this is not the point. When Chen Ziya heard that Lin Changqing followed them out of the market alone, her brows were furrowed.

Finally, he couldn't help but asked, "Brother, didn't you forbid me to go out of the market? Why did you go out on your own to take risks?"

Hearing Chen Ziya's questioning, Lin Changqing knew that she was concerned about him and could only laugh awkwardly.

He quickly explained, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I am absolutely sure that I followed them out.

Besides, I didn't go there myself. I sent the Amethyst Scorpion out to deal with them, and then I was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Don't worry, it's okay. Aren't you back now?"

After listening to Lin Changqing's explanation, Chen Ziya's expression looked a little better.

Lin Changqing didn't dare to continue to dwell on this issue and quickly changed the subject.

He asked, "Junior sister, how are you doing here? Have you noticed anything after watching for so long?"

Chen Ziya was still a little angry, but still answered him, "No, there is nothing wrong.

Since those five people left, no one has come here, and no one has come out."

Lin Changqing also heard her little emotions and knew that she was blaming him for not paying attention to safety. He felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but hug her. Chen Ziya really must be cherished.

After hugging for a while, when both of them had calmed down, Lin Changqing looked at the small courtyard again.

He said to Chen Ziya: "There should be no one in the yard, anyway, those five people have been captured alive by me.

We can go back and ask and find out what's going on. There's no need to keep an eye on this place anymore. Let's not go anywhere else for now and go back to the hotel!"

Chen Ziya nodded. They had agreed last night that after visiting Xiao Du at Wanbao Pavilion, they would go to the Gambling Stone Shop and the Street Stall Square for a stroll.

I definitely can’t go now. I encountered this incident when I came out of Wanbao Pavilion, and it has been two or three hours now!

They would have to interrogate the monks who followed them later. It would probably be evening by the time they were done, so they definitely couldn't go today.
