C1100 Scholar Xu Jiang

The man spoke fluently this time, but his voice was getting lower and lower. In the end, it was almost inaudible, and before he could finish speaking, he was silently drowned by the fresh blood that flowed out. His head suddenly drooped down powerlessly, and his entire body fell to the ground without any sound.

Seeing that the life force of that person had been completely extinguished, Du Qi could not help but sigh. He helplessly took back the Longevity Vital Spirit. Although he respected that person very much, he did not care about burying that person's corpse. He just floated in the direction of that person.

Du Qi gathered his eyes and saw that there were indeed traces of someone who had just passed by along the way. As he had to follow the trail, Du Qi could not fly in the air. He could only run on the ground, and he did not dare to be too fast. Even so, Du Qi's speed was as fast as lightning. In just a few moments, he had reached the top of the mountain, and the traces he had been chasing had disappeared. Helpless, he looked over and saw the mountain peaks rising and falling in front of him. There were wisps of smoke that could change the wind and clouds, and there were even sounds of dogs barking and chickens barking. However, he couldn't see anyone.

Du Qi spread out his divine sense and felt that there were people moving about in the mountains and valleys, but he didn't know whether Yu Dayuv was there or where he was. He also didn't know if Yu Dayuv was within his range of perception.

Du Qi estimated that although Yu Dayuv and the others were injured, but under the pursuit of others, in order to save their lives, they could only run forward with all their might. It might not take more than an hour for the deceased to arrive here. During this period of time, if Yu Dayuv and the others only used it to escape... It was enough! They had escaped two to three hundred miles away, and Du Qi's divine sense had only covered a distance of two hundred miles. That was why Du Qi was worried whether Yu Dayuv was within his range of perception.

No matter what, Du Qi had to find Yu Dayuv as soon as possible. Now, he couldn't care about anything else. With a flash, he stepped into the void and turned into a breeze. He rushed towards the nearest person and unleashed his Divine Sense at the same time. He checked the places where there were people, and then he checked them one by one.

He flew past more than ten mountain peaks and valleys and checked dozens of places where there were people active. Du Qi did not find anything unusual. Wherever his divine sense went... There seemed to be no trace of Yu Dayuv and the others. Even the experts who were suspected to be chasing after Yu Dayuv didn't find any traces of them. After such a long time, even if it was Yu Dayuv and the others who were moving in a straight line at their fastest speed, Du Qi couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious as he couldn't run that far. Could it be that Yu Dayuv had already been killed, and Loong Aotian and the others had already retreated? He searched this area and found nothing unusual. Could it be that Yu Dayuv and the others had already changed direction half a way, or that Yu Dayuv and the others had found a safe place to hide?

No matter what kind of situation it was, it was not a good thing for Du Qi. After all, he did not know Yu Dayuv, and he had never even seen a portrait of him. As long as Yu Dayuv changed his clothes, even if he faced Yu Dayuv face to face, he didn't know that the person in front of him was Yu Dayuv.

Seeing that it was late, Du Qi estimated that there would not be any results even if he continued to search like this. Du Qi decided to find a place with more people to investigate and see if he could find any useful clues.

While thinking, Du Qi used his Divine Sense to sense that there were many people around twenty miles to his left. He thought of it as a small mountain town, and immediately turned to that place.

A small waterfall hung in the mountains behind that small town. The clear sound of flowing water caught Du Qi's attention, and he looked towards the source of the sound. He saw that the small waterfall fell directly under the cliff that was nearly 300 meters deep, forming a small pond. The remaining water flowed along the bottom of the cliff, meandering forward happily. The sides of the shore were either dense with bamboo or wood, which made it even more tranquil in the depths of the mountain.

A white-robed man was sitting quietly next to a small pond, as if he were fishing. There was a thatched hut hidden in the depths of the bamboo trees outside the pond, which seemed to be the residence of that person.

When he saw the white-robed fisherman, and the beautiful scenery of the valley, could this white-robed man be a powerful expert who lived in seclusion in this world? Otherwise, who would live in this seemingly dangerous valley? And he could even fish in peace?

When he thought of the possibility that the man in white was a hermit who lived in seclusion, Du Qi's heart moved again. As he quietly landed behind the man in white, he used his divine sense to scan the man in white. He found that the man in white was indeed not simple, even though he deliberately restrained himself. However, the aura he unintentionally released was still very powerful. It was obvious that his martial arts were powerful or his cultivation was extraordinary.

Du Qi landed behind the man in white silently. The man in white seemed to have sensed Du Qi's presence. Although he did not turn around to look, he did not seem to have taken any precautions. However, Du Qi could clearly feel the muscles all over his body tighten. Powerful energy was accumulated in his body, and he could unleash a thunderous strike at any time. However, in just an instant, the man in white relaxed, as if he hadn't noticed Du Qi at all. His eyes were still fixed on the surface of the water, focusing on fishing.

Du Qi did not care about the man in white's reaction. As soon as he landed, he walked lightly towards the man in white, but he did not deliberately hide his tracks. There were still light footsteps.

When the man in white heard Du Qi's footsteps, he did not look back. He did not have any other reaction until Du Qi sat next to him. He did not even look at Du Qi, as if Du Qi did not exist.

Looking at the back of the man in white, Du Qi estimated that he was about 40 years old. Sitting next to him, he glanced at his resolute face. He found that there was some vicissitudes of life on his face, and he looked a little old. Clearly, his actual age was not more than forty years old. Although his eyes did not glow with a brilliant light, however, they were very bright, as if they had been shining on the pond since ancient times. They hit a few tiny buoys.

Du Qi only glanced at the man in white before turning his gaze to the pond as well. The originally motionless buoys suddenly sank into the water, and Du Qi felt the man in white shake his wrist. "Riiiip!" With a light sound, a foot-long silver carp was pulled out of the water by the man in white.

That carp struggled as it drew an elegant arc in the air. It was caught by the white-clothed person in his hands. He removed the hook from the hook and placed it into the bamboo basket that was submerged in the pond water. Immediately, a wave of sound was produced.

The man put bait on the hook and threw it back into the pond water. He seemed to be relieved and suddenly broke the silence and asked, "Where did you come from, little brother?"

Du Qi smiled and said, "I said I came from the sky. Do you believe me, sir?"

The man in white smiled and said, "You must be joking, brother! I am Master Xujiang. I welcome you here as a guest. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to receive you, but I didn't expect you to bring me good luck when you arrived."

Du Qi still smiled and said, "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local, right?"

Master Xujiang was startled when he heard this. He frankly said, "That's right. I am from Jinjiang."
