Chapter 281: Counterattack By Imperial Lord Xi He

After leaving the swamp, Jiang Lan finally let out a sigh of relief.

“I can’t go to such places anymore.”

It was impossible to guess where the Underground Devils would appear. In a place where it seemed unlikely for them to appear, there were actually dozens of them.

As for the cave…

It was highly possible that some of them would remain there.

Shaking his head, he decided to take a walk in the normal woods.

He could not possibly meet another dozen there again.

If this was the case, he wouldn’t be able to calculate his accomplishments.

On the way, Jiang Lan suddenly felt some ravings.

It came like a flash of light.

Someone was reciting his name. This was a feedback from his Deity Position.

Without stopping, he continued walking on the main road.

“There’s an aura related to a fortuitous opportunity near Qingcheng Town. It’s very beneficial to you. The corpses can be handed over to Kunlun for disposal. Call my name, and I will relieve the crisis if you experience any.”

It was a woman’s voice. However, it was slightly childish.

As her voice fell, everything disappeared.

With his current strength, even with the Mountain Sea Mirror, he might not be able to see the other party.

Of course…

He didn’t dare to either.

If the person on the other side was one of the summit leaders, he didn’t think that the other party wouldn’t recognize him.

He could feel that he was in a very dangerous position.

However, it was obvious that someone was deliberately telling him this.

When he heard the last sentence, he knew that it was Imperial Lord Xi He.

“Is it because of what happened last time?”

Previously, he had asked Imperial Lord Xi He to deal with the demons. This time, Imperial Lord Xi He wanted him to find someone or something which carried the aura of a fortuitous opportunity?

It seemed like the other party only wanted the corpse.

On the way, Jiang Lan saw a devil.

He was at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm.

After a split second of contemplation, he made his move.

Jiang Lan took out his sword.

Defying Seven Stars.

Sword light flowed.

The devil didn’t even have a chance to escape.

He recorded his battle with his recording Dharma treasure, but he was thinking at the moment.

Should he go to Qingcheng Town?

Theoretically, people related to fortuitous opportunities were not simple.

He was taking a risk.

Hiding in the Ninth Summit was the wisest choice, but…

The last time, he had asked Imperial Lord Xi He to help him. This was why he was in such a situation now.

“Let’s go take a look. If the opponent is too strong, I’ll give up.”

If his strength allowed it, he would attack. If not, he would give up and flee back to Kunlun.

It was not as if he had gained nothing from his training here. He had just realized that the devils were much smarter than he had expected.

He needed to think more about this in the future.

This would prevent him from suffering from any potential losses.

After completing the record, he took a step and disappeared.

Imperial Lord Xi He only gave him a rough idea of the situation. He didn’t know if he could find the person.

After that, he would try not to interact with Imperial Lord Xi He.

The other party was at too high a level for him to contend against.

It was impossible for the other party to lose out.

The most worrying thing was that he had no idea what the other party had obtained.

…

After a long time.

Jiang Lan didn’t enter the city. Instead, he stayed on the mountain peaks surrounding the small town. It was rather remote and uninhabited.

The surrounding mountains could all be seen by him from where he stood.

But how could he find that person?

It was impossible that the person was in the mountain beneath his feet. In order not to fall into a trap, he had carefully observed this mountain.

There were no traces of humans or array formations.

It was relatively safe.

Even if Imperial Lord Xi He didn’t show any malice, he still couldn’t lower his guard.

If he was careless, he would regret it.

“It has something to do with a fortuitous opportunity.”

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan tried to communicate with his Deity Position.

Perhaps he could find it.

…

After a while.

Jiang Lan arrived at a mountain peak.

This was the place he had found. He couldn’t say for sure, but the chance that he could find the target here was the highest.

He activated his One Leaf Vision to its limit and started to enter the mountain from the side.

In the cave.

Jiang Lan stood in front of the sand board. He could feel that this sand board was a Dharma treasure that was connected to someone.

But…

There was no one nearby.

“The person has already run away?”

Jiang Lan was surprised.

He found the cave and tried to examine it.

But there was no one inside.

After making some preparations, he walked in.

He realized that the place was empty.

“The escape seems very rushed. Did the other party know I was coming? Or was it something else?”

Some of the things on the table were not neat. The other party did not even take away such an important treasure like the sand board.

Jiang Lan was puzzled. His whereabouts should not have been discovered.

Moreover, even if they discovered it, with the cultivation he displayed, he shouldn’t scare away the people here.

He was currently displaying the cultivation of a Human Immortal.

The person with the fortuitous opportunity should be at least a Human Immortal.

The Eighth Prince was an example.

…

The deserted mountain range.

Miao Nian and the other two were moving quickly, as if there was something terrifying chasing them from behind.

Fu Jie was surprised.

“What exactly happened? I clearly did not sense any danger.”

“Indeed. Is it really that urgent?

We didn’t even have time to collect the sand board.” The other man was also curious.

“This is what that powerhouse had gifted me. This thing can’t let me detect anything else, but it can let me know if a calamity is descending on me.” Miao Nian’s expression was calm.

“Just now, I had a feeling. I had a feeling that I was about to die. This is that great powerhouse’s divine ability, it shouldn’t be wrong. I won’t be able to trigger it again for now. We’ll have to rely on ourselves from now on.”

“Is the other party from Kunlun?” Fu Jie asked.

But no one could answer this question.

“What should we do next?” Fu Yuan asked.

Something had to be done.

“At the very least, we have to get close to Kunlun and find out why they are giving me that strange feeling,” Miao Nian said as he looked in the direction of Kunlun.

“What do you have in mind?” Fu Jie asked Fu Yuan.

“Let’s split up.” Fu Yuan thought for a moment and said,

“Not having the sand board has a big impact on our plan. I’ll go back and get the sand board. If I come back alive, it means the danger is temporarily removed. If I don’t make it back… then pretend I’m a lone ranger. You guys will be safe. Let’s fully grasp the time to finish the mission.”

Miao Nian and Fu Jie looked at each other. In the end, they decided to split up.

…

In the cave, Jiang Lan stood in the shadows.

He waited.

He was waiting to see if the people here would return.

He did not have the intention to wait for long and would leave before dawn.

With his array formation set up, everything was prepared.

To him, the people here had fled in a panic.

The chances of them returning were not high.

At least, coming back within one night was basically impossible.

But he didn’t dare to wait too long, whether it was the people here or Imperial Monarch Xi He.

It made him feel a sense of danger.

In the middle of the night.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes. Someone had entered.

Ta!

Ta!

Footsteps sounded.

In the darkness, Jiang Lan saw a male walk over. His cultivation was at the mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

One?

There was no aura of fortuitous opportunity on him.

It was not him.

Jiang Lan was in the darkness. He had also activated his One Leaf Vision. As long as the other party didn’t look over, he wouldn’t notice him.

At this moment, he saw this person quickly walk to the sand board to collect it.

Jiang Lan didn’t move.

It didn’t take long for the other party to put away the sand board and leave. There was a hint of wariness and nervousness in his eyes.

Jiang Lan watched as the other party left the cave and headed into the night.

At this moment, Jiang Lan appeared at the entrance of the cave and looked at the figure that was about to disappear into the night.

Then, he followed behind.

Killing this person was easy, but meaningless.

This person would definitely meet up with the others.

This way, he could catch them all in one swoop.
