Li Baitian touched his chin.
If the beast tide does not end, I am afraid it will be difficult to go back and forth smoothly.
"How about we go out and play for a few days and then go back, then we will say that those missing disciples were intercepted and killed by monsters that blocked the road?"
Jiang Chuan shrugged: "I don't care."
Xia Xue looked pleading: "I beg you two to save my brothers and sisters. If I die, they will definitely be thrown into the beast tide by the people from my eldest sister's lineage!"
Li Baitian: "What does the life and death of your brothers and sisters have to do with me? Why should I save them?"
"I am a heir of the Xia family. Aren't the two young masters looking for the missing person? I can mobilize the power of the family to find it for you. Moreover, if you save me, my family will definitely be grateful. All this is a trick of my eldest sister. You are scheming, but my father loves me very much, and he will definitely thank you!"
Xia Xue said quickly, promising benefits.
Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan looked at each other and nodded. Playing for a few days was just a joke he had just made. He was also a spy himself, so naturally he wanted to know more urgently than anyone else why a large number of people were missing in Haoqi City.
Outsiders didn't understand it and just thought it was ordinary people disappearing, but he knew clearly that these missing people were all spies.
"Thank you two gentlemen!"
"When I go back this time, I will definitely..."
Xia Xue immediately beamed with joy when she saw the two masters in front of her were willing to help. Through chatting on the road, she already knew that these two people came from Haoqi City and Zhengyi Academy, and they were first-class powerful forces.
And he came single-handedly to investigate the disappearance of the academy disciples. Obviously, his strength and identity should not be underestimated.
Although she didn't ask much, as a descendant of the family, she was naturally smart and could guess pretty well.
She talked endlessly about what she knew about the beast tide and the current situation in the city, and repeatedly promised that she would fulfill her promise.
But Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan frowned almost in unison, looking at her belly unconsciously, turning a deaf ear to what she said.
Li Baitian relied on his experience in refining bones and had an unusual understanding of the structure of the human body. He found that the breathing of the woman in front of him was a little strange.
Immortal cultivators will all use the reverse abdominal breathing method, that is, the lower abdomen will bulge when inhaling and contract when exhaling, but Xia Xue's chest will rise when inhaling and fall when exhaling. Only ordinary people who do not know how to practice Will breathe like this.
Even a person like him who doesn't know how to practice will deliberately maintain this breathing method in order to disguise his identity.
Xia Xue is a monk, so reverse abdominal breathing should become instinctive. This doesn't make sense.
Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Chuan spoke first: "Miss Xia, what is your cultivation level?"
"ah?"
"I just built the foundation, otherwise I wouldn't be caught by the monster so easily. What's wrong?"
Xia Xue was a little strange and didn't understand why Jiang Chuan asked.
"It's okay, I'm just a little curious."
Jiang Chuan smiled lightly, pretended to check the road ahead, and walked behind Xia Xue.
Xia Xue felt strange and was about to turn around when a hand emitting green light instantly penetrated her abdomen and then quickly retracted.
Everything happens in a flash of lightning.
After coming back to his senses, Xia Xue stared blankly at his abdomen, which was intact and everything was normal.
And Jiang Chuan had a scarlet fragment in his hand.
"Someone has buried something in your stomach, don't you realize it?"
Jiang Chuan wiped the blood on the fragments, revealing the complete appearance.
This is a small wooden token.
"Master Li, take a look."
Li Baitian just glanced at it and said: "The communication token is activated. Our conversation along the way, including the location, has been exposed to the hands of the person on the other end of the token. It seems that this is the thing that made Xia Xue's breath appear. Changed.”
"I knew I shouldn't have saved you. You were already in the whirlpool before you entered the City of the Rising Sun!"
Jiang Chuan sneered: "Now you know why I don't reveal my abilities. No matter when or where, there is a possibility of being eavesdropped. I suggest that this woman be vivisected to see if there are any other communication tokens in her body." .”
"It doesn't have to be like this." Li Baitian knocked on the token and said, "Do you hear me? I'm here on behalf of Zhengyi Academy, just to investigate the disappearance of the academy's disciples. I have no grudges with you. I hope we won't interfere with each other, otherwise I will think that the disappearance of the academy disciples is related to you."
After saying this, he threw the token casually by the roadside.
"This...I don't know, I really don't know. My eldest sister must have arranged for someone to put it into my body!"
"They took advantage of the time I was unconscious to do something to me!"
Xia Xue defended, anxious tears welling up in her eyes.
"As long as they don't obstruct my investigation, it doesn't matter who it is."
"When you arrive at Rising Sun City, you can just go back to your family. We represent Zhengyi Academy and cannot interfere in family matters, let alone families in other cities."
Li Baitian said leisurely that in fact he really didn't care, and even hoped that the owner of the token would remember his grudge and go to Zhengyi Academy.
The target of the organization is Dean Zhang Changsheng. He is happy every time there is an enemy in the academy, which means that the pressure he bears alone will be much less.
There was a moment of silence.
Jiangchuan said abruptly: "The resources you promised just now must be given to me. I have to choose the medicinal herbs."
A joyful look appeared on Xia Xue's face: "Don't worry, the Xia family will tell you the truth."
The entire journey was silent.
The three of them rarely spoke again because they were not sure if there were any other eavesdropping magic weapons.
Li Baitian sighed in his heart, it was indeed a world where spies were rampant, and he was bugged not long after he left the academy.
I'm afraid there are similar operations in the academy, but he just didn't notice it.
The turtle marches under the city of the rising sun.
Countless monsters roared under the city gate, and monks lined up on the city wall. As long as a monster jumped onto the tower, they would kill them immediately.
Under each wave of attacks, many monks' heads would be bitten into pieces and their corpses would be planted on the city walls, but the monsters' side would suffer even more damage.
"The monsters are attacking the city. Is this a tide of monsters?"
"How do we get in?"
Li Baitian's scalp went numb when he saw this scene. Even though his bones had been refined, he did not dare to approach rashly.
At this moment, an old man in purple robe appeared on the city wall. His body turned into a stream of light, passing through the group of monster beasts, and went straight to a wolf king behind him. He took off its head like a melon and vegetables, and threw it away. To the front of the city gate.
Seeing this, the monsters immediately retreated, fled into the jungle and disappeared.
"That is the city lord of Rising Sun City, and also my Xia family, we can go there!"
Xia Xue urged.
Li Baitian drove the turtle to the bottom of the city wall.
"Uncle Xia, I'm Xue'er, open the door quickly and let us in!"
Xia Xue revealed her identity and called out to the old man in purple robe.
The purple-robed old man hadn't left yet. When he saw Xia Xue on the turtle's back, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Open the city gate quickly and let them in!"
