Chapter 401

The manor was surrounded by forests. Many of them were pine trees that didn't shed their leaves even in the winter. They were there to conceal something. However, this was exactly what Zhang Xiaohua wanted. She hid herself in a corner and released her divine sense to carefully observe the surroundings.

She saw a very large manor. It seemed to be as big as the entire village. The interior was indeed different from what Zhang Xiaohua had seen before. There were fields and houses in Huan Xi Manor. The manor of the South Sea Flood Dragon King in Jingyue City also had mountains and rivers. However, this manor was mostly made up of small houses that looked very neat.

Banner Master Gao drove the donkey cart through several crisscrossing paths and stopped in front of a large hall in the middle of the manor. Just as he was about to get off the cart, two men dressed in green came out of the large hall. When they saw Banner Master Gao, they said in surprise, "Banner Master Gao, why are you here again?

Could it be that you've found some good goods? "

When Banner Master Gao heard this, he smiled and said, "So it's Banner Master Liu and Banner Master Liang. Are you two also here to offer goods to the commander?"

One of the men with a slightly dark face said, "That's not the case. The commander's requirements are a bit high. I really didn't find many suitable goods in my area. I was afraid that the commander would be anxious, so I came to explain to the commander first and ask him to give me more time."

The other man also said, "My situation is similar to Banner Master Liu's. I only found a dozen or so people from before and didn't find anything else. A few days ago, I found one in town. However, before I could offer her to the commander, I ran into an expert and was saved. Su Liu also had his acupoints sealed and a group of people lit up a sky lantern."

Hearing this, Banner Master Gao was stunned and said, "Why is Su Liu so unlucky?

He actually ran into a group of experts. "

That Banner Master Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know exactly how many there were. The people who lit up his sky lantern were only ordinary people in town. It's just that Su Liu's acupoints were sealed and he couldn't resist, so he was accidentally burned by the lantern."

Banner Master Gao was speechless. Being killed by an expert could only mean that he wasn't skilled enough. Being killed by a group of ordinary people could only mean that he was unlucky.

With a sorrowful expression, he said, "Poor Su Liu. Banner Master Liang has lost both his left and right arms. This number is much harder to come by."

"That's right. Last night, I personally went to capture that girl and killed a few of her family members and neighbors. It can be considered as revenge for Su Liu."

"Sigh, Banner Lord Liang, you are truly benevolent and righteous. If Su Liu's spirit is still in the underworld, he will also thank you."

When Banner Master Liang heard this, he was very happy and said, "Not at all. We're all brothers, so we naturally have to take revenge.

Oh, that's right, I'm still missing a few. Do you have any extra? "

Banner Master Gao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If it were any other day, perhaps I could spare a few for Banner Master Liang. However, this brother has been in an eventful period in the city these past few days. A few strange things have happened, so I reckon that I won't be able to do anything in the short term. The last girl in the carriage was also obtained by this brother after taking a great risk and losing two brothers. Please forgive me, Banner Master Liang."

When the two Banner Masters saw that Banner Master Gao was declining, they didn't continue to be long-winded. They cupped their hands and said, "Then congratulations to Banner Master Gao for completing the command master's order. Presumably, you will receive a generous reward. Let us congratulate you in advance."

Banner Master Gao smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I'm only serving the command master. I don't have to be greedy for merit."

Banner Master Liang said, "However, the command master isn't here today. Only the vice command master is here. I'm afraid that Banner Master Gao will be disappointed."

"Oh?

I see. "Banner Master Gao indeed looked a little disappointed. He said," Didn't the command master say that he would be here these past few days?

This one … "

Before he could finish speaking, a dignified voice came from the main hall. "Gao Xiong Lin, do I still have to report the command master's whereabouts to you?"

Banner Master Gao's expression was startled. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Vice Command Master Dan, this one was wrong. This one shouldn't have thought too much."

The two Banner Masters hurriedly bowed as well.

At this moment, a tall man walked out from the main hall. He was also wearing a light green robe, and his hair was a little white. This person wore a bronze mask on his face, so his true appearance couldn't be seen.

"Why aren't the two of you hurrying off to do your business?

Can't you see that there aren't many disciples in the manor? They've all gone off to do their business. Why are the two of you still standing here chatting? "The masked Vice Command Master Dan said coldly.

The two Banner Masters didn't dare to tarry. They bowed again and hurriedly left.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua had already hidden herself in the pine tree. She released her divine sense and saw Vice Command Master Dan standing at the main hall's entrance. Zhang Xiaohua frowned. She tried to use her divine sense to see through the bronze mask to see Vice Command Master Dan's true appearance. However, just as her divine sense was about to envelop Vice Command Master Dan, Vice Command Master Dan seemed to sense it. He suddenly raised his head and looked around in the air. Zhang Xiaohua was greatly alarmed. She hurriedly withdrew her divine sense and thought to herself, "Could it be that this person can sense divine sense?"

When Zhang Xiaohua withdrew her divine sense, Vice Command Master Dan also seemed to sense something. He frowned slightly and continued to look around in confusion. After a while, he didn't discover anything. He asked, "Gao Xiong Lin, when you came here, was there anyone following you?"

When Banner Master Gao heard this, he immediately replied respectfully, "I was cautious. Vice Command Master Dan should know that I took many detours to get here. I didn't even notice anyone following me. Even if there was someone following me, I would have shaken him off long ago."

"Mm," Vice Command Master Dan replied. However, he still wasn't completely at ease. He activated his inner energy and magnified his senses to check carefully. He then said, "Perhaps I was overthinking.

Oh, right. You said that Ping Yang City isn't very peaceful. What is it?

Tell me about it. "

Banner Master Gao smiled and said, "Vice Command Master Dan, please take a seat inside. I will pass the girl in the carriage to you and tell you about it in detail. How about that?"

"Alright, Gao Xiong Lin. You just like to scheme." Vice Command Master Dan smiled and said, "Aren't you just afraid that I won't reward you?

Come, come. Put the girl in the back hall and tell me in detail about the strange incident. Then, I will give you the reward that Vice Command Master Dan promised. "

"Really?" Banner Master Gao was overjoyed. "Thank you, Vice Command Master Dan."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and carried the little girl out of the carriage and followed Vice Command Master Dan into the main hall.

Zhang Xiaohua thought that her supernatural awareness had been seen through and did not dare to release it again. After thinking for a moment, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She jumped down from the ground and used the Earth Escape technique to reach Yu Deyi's hiding place. She found a place where she could hide from him and walked to Yu Deyi. "Brother Yi."

Yu Deyi hurriedly asked, "Hero, did you manage to find out what happened in front?"

Zhang Xiaohua told Yu Deyi about what she saw in the manor just now. Finally, she said, "There are indeed a few experts in the manor. I reckon that the two of us might not be their match. Can you see if you can find some helpers?"

"Helpers?" Yu Deyi was puzzled. "Where did the helpers that you sent go?"

"Him?" Zhang Xiaohua said, "He left earlier. I don't know where he is now."

"Then where do you want me to find helpers?" Yu Deyi asked.

"Sigh, how would I know?

Now that I think about it, it might not be a bad thing to lure your brother-in-law here. "

"Hero, it's useless to regret now. However, I have an idea."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up. "What is it?

Tell me about it. "

"I have a command arrow for the deployment of soldiers from Ping Yang City. I received it when I went to the village to exterminate the bandits. With this command arrow, I can deploy some soldiers to the towns and cities around Ping Yang City that are guarded by soldiers.

However, I don't know where we are and which town is the closest to here. It's impossible to go back to Ping Yang City now. "

Zhang Xiaohua laughed in her heart. "If it's Ping Yang City, I won't know. However, this journey seems to be in the same direction as my journey from Lu Town to Ping Yang City. I've just passed by here. How can I forget?"

Then, Zhang Xiaohua pretended to be deep in thought. After a while, she said, "From what I remember, there seems to be a town called Lu Town in the southwest from here. It should be half a day's journey. With Brother Yi's speed, you should be able to reach it in the middle of the night?"

"Of course. With my speed, oh, with my mount's speed, there shouldn't be a problem."

"Good. Brother Yi, I'll leave the task of returning to Lu Town to mobilize the soldiers to you. I'll stay here to keep an eye on them. If they do anything strange, send your niece to another place. I'll leave a message here. What do you think?"

Yu Deyi cursed in his heart. "Look at the situation now. Alright, you still have to mobilize the soldiers. If you didn't let me do it earlier and saved her, we would have returned to Ping Yang City long ago."

But now, the one with the bigger fist was right. He didn't dare to raise any objections. He cupped his hands and said, "Then, I'll have to trouble you. I'll go and mobilize the soldiers now. I think I'll be able to return by tomorrow morning. During this time, please keep an eye on these bandits. Don't let my niece go missing."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. If anything happens, even if I don't save my own people, I'll save your niece first. How about that?"

Yu Deyi didn't care whether he believed it or not. He still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Hero.

I'll go now. "

After he finished speaking, he mounted his horse and lashed out with his horsewhip. The purplish-red horse's hooves flew as it galloped along the small path.

When Yu Deyi was far away, Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged and pondered carefully. Ever since she cultivated her divine perception, no one had ever found out about it. How did it get discovered today?

Could it be that martial artists who cultivated to an extremely high level would also have divine perception?

However, that day under the lava on the deserted island, when her divine perception came into contact with the monster with huge eyes, it was different from what she felt from the bronze-masked man today. Perhaps, this bronze-masked man didn't have divine perception?

But, could he feel that she was using her divine perception to observe?

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. If that was the case, she couldn't use her divine perception. What should she do?
