Chapter 181
"Iron Mountain Mine?"
The charming smile on the Sect Master's face suddenly disappeared.
"If I remember correctly, Chen Yu seems to be on duty here according to the latest news," Chen Yu said.
A cold light flashed in the Sect Master's eyes.
At this moment.
Protector Shangguan and the head of the Water Moon Sect both looked at the desolate mine ten miles away.
Coincidentally.
The main force of the Yunyue Gate also fled from the vicinity of the Iron Mountain Mine.
"Chase him!"
"Hurry up and send more people. Now is the chance to kill him!"
The two of them looked at each other with strong killing intent.
On the eve of betraying the three sects, the Sect Master had sent two Qi Transformation Postnatal cultivators to assassinate Chen Yu.
This assassination was regarded as superfluous by Elder Kui Yue, another powerful senior member of the same sect.
After all.
Chen Yu was "blacklisted" by Lu Tiezu and couldn't escape.
However.
The Sect Master had an intuition that Chen Yu was a person with great luck. There might be many changes in the half-year agreement.
After the Blood Burial Garden.
She confirmed that Chen Yu was the murderer of Yi Yunfei and investigated Chen Yu's past.
The results of the investigation made her feel uneasy.
From the outer disciple competition, the Meteorite Iron Gambling Battle, the Northern Mountain Spirit Garden, all the way to the Blood Burial Garden, this person had risen against the odds!
He had been turning the impossible into the possible!
The Sect Master felt uneasy and sent people to assassinate him under the opposition of the opponent.
Then.
What made her furious was that the assassination failed and two Qi Transformation Postnatal cultivators died.
Not only that.
After this incident, Chen Yu's parents disappeared from the face of the earth!
All of this made the Sect Master more certain that Chen Yu still had a chance to reverse the situation under Lu Tiezu's blacklisting.
In the battlefield after that.
The Sect Master and Protector Shangguan had a close relationship. Their children had all died in the hands of Chen Yu, so they could be regarded as a common enemy.
On the battlefield, the two of them searched for a long time but didn't find Chen Yu.
Then.
After many inquiries, they learned that Chen Yu was in the Iron Mountain Mine behind the battlefield.
…
"Guards, surround the Iron Ridge Mine!"
Enforcer Shangguan and the Sect Master of the Water Moon Sect sent a few Qi Transformation Realm Postcelestial Experts and a few small teams to raid the Iron Ridge Mine.
Huh?
Sect Master Yunyue and the others, who were retreating, discovered that the Bone Devil Palace had sent a quarter of their forces to raid the Iron Ridge Mine.
"From the looks of Bone Demon Palace's array formation, they're going to surround this place?"
"Iron Ridge Mine? There are only some low-grade spirit mines here, and not many troops are stationed here. Is it worth making such a big fuss? "
Sect Leader Yunyue and the others were perplexed.
However …
The Bone Devil Palace had diverted a quarter of their military strength to do this inexplicable thing, alleviating the pressure on their retreat.
Sou sou sou!
Twenty birds were the first to charge towards the Iron Ridge Mine.
But at this moment.
Whoosh ~
In the Iron Ridge Mine, billowing flames and smoke rose, and a thick black smoke shrouded the sky.
"So much smoke!"
"Cough cough … What's this thing that's burning?"
As the "vanguard", the bird riders paced back and forth in the air. Their vision was blurry, and the birds they were sitting on were restless.
Before they arrived.
The withered wood, leaves, and straw piled up in the mine burned in large swathes, forming smoke that shrouded half the sky.
The smoke had no effect on defending against enemies, but it could limit surveillance.
Not long after.
Protector Shangguan and Sect Master Shuiyue arrived at the smoke-filled Iron Ridge Mine. Their expressions changed.
"Cough cough … Lord Protector, there's no one in the Iron Ridge Mine."
A Viscera Refinement bird rider came to report.
This scene made Protector Shangguan and Sect Master Shuiyue's expressions darken, and they were extremely embarrassed.
"That kid must have sensed something and laid down the smoke to block the line of sight of aerial surveillance. It seems that he hasn't gone far. "
Sect Master Shuiyue's chest heaved. She suppressed the anger in her heart and calmly analyzed the situation.
At this moment.
If the two of them mobilized hundreds of elites and surrounded a five-mile radius, they would most likely be able to catch Chen Yu.
However, this plan was unrealistic.
Their goal was to kill the Yunyue Gate's main force. Once they succeeded, they could annihilate the sect.
In comparison.
Mobilizing all their main force for a Viscera Refinement disciple? Even if the two of them wanted to, the other Qi Transformation cultivators would not obey.
In the end.
Under Protector Shangguan and the Water Moon Sect's Sect Master's decision, only one of them could lead a team to hunt down Chen Yu.
"Let me do it."
Sect Master Shuiyue's face was calm and confident. She led a group of Sect elites, about fifty to sixty people, to stay at the Iron Ridge Mine.
This time.
She was the Sect Master, a Qi Transformation Connate expert, and she personally led the team.
She did not believe that kid could create another miracle.
At the same time.
Among the evacuating Yunyue Gate's upper echelons.
Elder Mao looked back at the Iron Ridge Mine with a complicated expression.
He vaguely guessed.
The abnormal behavior of Demon Bone Palace and the smoke here should be related to Chen Yu.
"There are still ten days until the next full moon. This is as much as I can help you. "
"Now, everything will depend on your own luck."
Elder Mao sighed in his heart.
…
Five to six miles away from the Iron Ridge Mine, in a forest.
A young man in beast skin armor, his face dark and swarthy, had a pile of branches and leaves stuck to his body.
At first glance, he looked like a small moving tree, blending into the forest.
"Heh, I have already simulated this retreat strategy and route hundreds of times in my mind …"
Chen Yu chuckled and looked at the Iron Ridge Mine that was covered in smoke.
It turned out.
Chen Yu had stayed in the Iron Ridge Mine for more than a month and had long prepared an escape route.
Because of the bloody experience of the "Northern Mountain Spirit Garden" being attacked at night, Chen Yu had made many preparations.
The first preparation was to deal with the smoke of the flying beasts in the air.
After receiving the news of the defeat at the front line, Chen Yu ordered people to prepare a large amount of dead wood, branches, and straws and piled them up in the Iron Ridge Mine.
As long as they blocked the line of sight of the flying beasts in the air, the success rate of retreat would increase by twenty to thirty percent.
The second preparation was to have a detailed control of the nearby terrain.
With the help of the Iron Moon Strange Bug's detailed terrain survey, Chen Yu had already designed more than a dozen escape routes.
The third preparation was to build a watchtower on the high ground nearby and be on guard day and night.
Furthermore.
When Chen Yu discovered that the "Demon Bone King" appeared five miles away, he decisively ordered everyone to retreat and then ignited all the dead wood, branches, and straws.
Of course.
Chen Yu did not evacuate with the large group of people. Instead, he followed a hidden route and used various geographical cover to stay away from the Iron Ridge Mine.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Chen Yu flew along the complex terrain all the way and there was cover almost all the way.
It was either a tree, a mountain, or some grass.
Even.
Chen Yu asked the Iron Moon Strange Bug to dig a hidden cave passage in part of the mountain, which could allow one person to pass through.
After passing through, Chen Yu waved his fist and the mountain wall collapsed, blocking the cave passage.
As time went by.
Chen Yu was getting farther and farther away from the Iron Ridge Mine.
Ten miles … twenty miles … thirty miles … constantly out of the danger zone.
According to Chen Yu's plan.
As long as he escaped a hundred miles away and found a place to hide, it would be difficult to find him unless the enemy sent more than hundreds of elites.
At the beginning.
He could occasionally see the flying beasts in the distant sky. Later, he almost couldn't see the flying riders.
Finally.
Two hundred miles away from the Iron Ridge Mine, Chen Yu found an underground cave in the deep mountains with the help of the Iron Moon Strange Bug.
"There should be no problem here …"
In the underground cave, Chen Yu sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
And during this period.
The Sect Master of Shuiyue led fifty or sixty elites to carry out a carpet search near the Iron Ridge Mountain.
"Reporting to Sect Master, no trace of the target was found."
"Reporting to Sect Master, seven or eight Yunyue Gate disciples were killed. After interrogation, no one knew the whereabouts of Chen Yu."
"Reporting to Sect Master, I suspect that Chen Yu has escaped from our encirclement."
…
Half a day later, the news of returning without success made the Sect Master of Shuiyue more gloomy.
"Wu Yue! You are the best at tracking in our sect, do you have any suggestions? "
The Sect Master of Shuiyue said in a deep voice.
In front of her stood an old man with a mole at the corner of his mouth.
"Reporting to Sect Master. With my years of tracking experience, this person seems to know how to track. "
The old man paused and said unhurriedly.
"Our biggest difficulty is that we don't have any items related to Chen Yu's scent. Secondly, we are seriously short of manpower, and the other party seems to be prepared."
The old man said.
After listening to the analysis, the Sect Master of Shuiyue frowned.
Even if it was a brilliant tracking expert, if there was no item related to the other party's scent, and the other party knew how to track back, it would be quite difficult.
"In terms of manpower, there is nothing I can do. Think of a way, if you can track this person, I will reward you with a circulation pill and a mid-grade treasure. "
The Sect Master of Shuiyue made a heavy promise.
Hearing this, the old man with a mole at the corner of his mouth looked happy.
After thinking for a long time.
The old man took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Now, there is only one way, and it depends on luck."
"Tell me about it?"
"I need two days to familiarize myself with the surrounding terrain, and then design a few best escape routes based on Chen Yu's situation at the time. Finally, I will follow the clues to the melon … "
The old man's eyes flashed.
"Of course, this idea needs to rely on luck, and it is based on the situation that the target stays within a few hundred miles, and will not escape too far."
The old man added.
"Okay, let's try this method."
The Sect Master of Shuiyue nodded.
She had a feeling that there might be some hidden reasons why Chen Yu chose to be on duty here, which was not far from the front line of the battlefield.
…
When the Bone Demon King appeared, the Chu Sect world was in turmoil.
In the Northern Land of God knows how many tens of thousands of miles.
On the Great Snow Mountain, at the top of an ice peak that reached the sky, there was a desolate world covered in silver and white snow.
Creak!
In front of an inconspicuous grass hut on the top of the mountain, the door suddenly opened.
In the grass hut, a boy walked out.
"May I ask celestial child, the tribute that I sent up a few days ago, did the great shaman receive it? Did the divination result? "
A middle-aged man knelt on the ground, his body covered in frost.
At first glance, he looked like a human-shaped ice sculpture.
The middle-aged man's cultivation level was as high as the Qi Transformation Connate, but he knelt in front of the grass hut for three days and three nights.
On the ice peak, the extreme cold temperature made even the Qi Transformation Realm feel difficult.
At this moment.
The middle-aged man felt cold all over, his skin and bones were frostbitten, and more than half of his true qi was consumed.
If it continued for another two days, his life might be in danger.
"You are the eldest disciple of Lu Tiezu, right? How loyal! "
"Yes, the divination result is out."
The boy was twelve or thirteen years old, but he had the air of an old man.
"The divination result is out?"
The middle-aged man was excited. He finally had an answer for this mission.
