"Me too..." Lan Zheyu rubbed his temples and said, "Could it be that we're practicing every day and are going astray?"
"No way." Lan Jinyu was a little scared after hearing him say that.
"It feels like I haven't seen my sister for a long time. How about going out with her tomorrow?" Lan Zheyu suggested.
"But I have only cultivated to the Young Yuan Realm. It has been so many days, and I still haven't caught up with my elder brother's progress. I am too embarrassed to see my younger sister."
Lan Zheyu was speechless because he and his third brother were at the same progress.
Lan Jinyu said: "Concentrate on your cultivation and don't go out."
…
Under the divine sense, no movement, even a weak moth, can escape Zhutong's perception.
Her spiritual sense "heard" the conversation between the Lan brothers, but she did not take it to heart, because many people in the entire capital were also awakened from their sleep.
Anyone who has awakened is naturally more sensitive in spiritual awareness.
However, many people don’t know why they woke up.
Zhu Tong's spiritual consciousness carried a cold aura. She sensed the lingering breath of the Earth Tribulation Flame on Baishan Mountain. The two clouds under her feet quickly carried her down to Baishan Mountain.
Her nose moved and she smelled a lingering scent of a ferocious beast.
The breath was too weak and was constantly diluted by the wind.
Zhu Tong wanted to follow the breath, but the breath only appeared around Baishan and then disappeared without a trace.
At this time, people from some sects had already arrived and were looking for clues on Baishan Mountain.
The earth flames burned all the plants and living things on the mountain to ashes, leaving no trace of things like banknotes and clothes. Even some poor quality magical tools were burned. The only things that remained were real treasures.
Everyone went to the mountains to look for treasure, and by the way, see if they could find any clues about the person who had subdued the Earth Flame. Maybe there would be a chance to recruit the other party into their own sect.
Zhu Tong was also on the mountain, but no one could see her. She did not have the ability to become invisible, but she used her own power to form a special magnetic field. Anyone who saw her would involuntarily ignore her. Her appearance could be reflected in their pupils, but they could not remember what she looked like in their minds.
…
Honglu Temple.
This is where the Kingdom of Da Rui receives foreign envoys.
Two days ago, an envoy came to the country of Dayui. The envoy was dressed in rags and looked very embarrassed.
The envoy looked quite old, with white hair and a hunched body. However, out of courtesy, the emperor still received him and arranged accommodation for him.
The reception officials of the Honglu Temple felt that the old man was here to eat and drink for free, so they often neglected him. The old man didn't care. He ate and drank heartily every day, and then fell asleep in his room after eating. The reception officials were too lazy to pay attention to him, just treating him as a freeloader, as long as the old man didn't go out and cause trouble.
But when Zhutong's spiritual sense swept over, the old man suddenly sat up from the bed, and a gleam of light flashed in his originally turbid eyes.
He murmured to himself, "How could such a weak country hide such a powerful beast?"
The most terrifying thing is that this beast is rational...
The irrational beast went on a killing spree, how could it be possible that it simply scanned the place with its spiritual sense?
The old man was in a good mood. He had originally planned to leave after resting enough, but now he changed his mind.
The old man put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
He was hunched over, just like an ordinary old man, not at all noticeable.
"Old man, it's getting dark, where are you going?" asked the guard who was patrolling outside.
"Go out for a walk."
"This... I'm afraid it's not possible. There is a curfew at night and you can't go out. Old man, you can wait until tomorrow morning before going out." The guard was in a good mood and spoke in a very good tone.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about me, just pretend you didn't see me."
"How can this be? I saw everything clearly. You are a living person, and an envoy from a foreign country. I..." Before the guard could finish the rest of the words, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
The old man raised his hand with a smile, and the guard's body floated up. The old man moved his hand backwards, controlling the guard's body to fly into the room and lie down.
Since the entire Honglu Temple was home to only one "foreign envoy", the old man, who was not taken seriously, the defense here was very weak, with only one guard on duty every night. After the old man got rid of him, he successfully came to the street.
After Zhu Tong's spiritual power dissipated, the old man slowly displayed his own spiritual power.
His spiritual consciousness was vast and powerful, as warm as the sun, completely different from Zhu Tong's aura.
Many people smiled in their sleep.
"Huh?" The two brothers of the Lan family moved the screen between the two beds and were sitting there chatting when they suddenly felt warm and comfortable.
"I feel hot and cold all the time... Am I really possessed?"
"Could it be due to the change in weather?"
The two brothers put on their clothes. Since they couldn't sleep anyway, they decided to go to the yard to admire the moon.
But as soon as I walked out of the room, I saw an old man standing in the yard!
"who?!"
The formation of the Lan Mansion isolates outsiders, even Prince Rui cannot get in, how did this old man get in?
Looking closely, the old man has no shadow...
Lan Zheyu's expression was very calm, but his hand was tightly grasping his brother's wrist.
Lan Jinyu had a cold face and a tense body. He whispered comfortingly, "It's an illusion, don't be afraid."
Then, the old man walked towards them...
Is it too late to turn around and run away now?
Is it okay to run to my sister for help?
No, I can't bring danger to my sister...
Lan Zheyu felt as if two nails had grown under his feet, pinning him to the spot, unable to move his feet. He had already begun to think about what posture would be the most beautiful for self-destruction. Then he thought, "If I self-destruct, can I take this old man with me? I can't let this old man hurt my sister..."
Lan Jinyu has always had a bad temper due to his practice. Although he was a little afraid of the shadowless old man at first, when the old man walked towards him, he was no longer afraid. He thought to himself, you don’t even have a body, who are you trying to scare?
Lan Jinyu shook off his second brother's hand, rushed forward a few steps, and punched the old man hard.
Without exception, the punch missed.
Lan Jinyu did not hold back his strength, and his body staggered forward, passing through the old man's body.
The old man turned around with a smile and said, "Young man, don't be so angry. I have no ill will towards you."
"You broke into my house without knocking. Regardless of whether you have any ill intentions or not, this behavior is wrong!" When Lan Jinyu heard that the other party "had no ill intentions", he felt that he would not be in danger and immediately became presumptuous.
Lan Zheyu appeared much more refined, with a smile as gentle as spring breeze on his face. He asked, "Senior, I wonder what brings you here so late at night? What brings you here?"
