C132 Tracing

The next morning, Li Yi and Dugu Ming bid farewell to Ou Qi Tian and left the city together. They hurried to the Darknorth mountain range, where the Northern Nether Academy was located. Of course, Dugu Ming's guards followed along with them.

Qi Tian City was already the closest city to the Darknorth mountain range, so Li Yi and the others had to travel alone for the rest of the journey.

The Darknorth Mountain Range was located in the savage lands in the northern part of the Central Plains. From the Qi Tian City to the Darknorth Mountain Range, one had to pass by a large piece of desolate wilderness filled with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.

"Seventh Prince, Dugu Ming, and a few others have left for the Wilderness!"

In a large courtyard house in Qi Tian City, Xiang Shaotian sat in a pavilion in the Great Chu. Next to him sat a man in silk clothing. His appearance was similar to Dugu Ming.

"It seems like Brother Dugu's news is really good. Dugu Ming is indeed after the Beiming Institute!"

Listening to his bodyguard's report, Xiang Shaotian laughed out loud and nodded at the man in embroidered clothing, "We'll follow him now and finish him off together with that kid surnamed Li in the Wilderness. I can't help but vent my anger. Brother Dugu, you've lost your biggest competitor!"

"Brother Xiang is right!" Even Gu Yong, who didn't know what was good for his brother, had repeatedly made life difficult for Brother Xiang. However, he was doted upon by his father and was helpless to do anything to him in the capital. This was truly a godsend opportunity. He was too overconfident and did not bring Elder Tian Xuan along. Instead, he brought Elder Tian Xuan along to seek his own demise. How could he not help him when he was alone as his elder brother? "Haha!"

The golden robed man was Dugu Ming's older brother, the Great Prince of the Great Qin Empire, Dugu Ce. Because he coveted the throne of the Great Qin Empire, and also because the Sacred Emperor Dugu Batian had always regarded Dugu Ming highly, he was extremely jealous of Dugu Ming. He had long been looking for an opportunity to deal with Dugu Ming.

"Hahaha, Brother Dugu is right! Dugu Ming is courting death, of course we will grant his wish!" "Men, give the order and set off immediately to catch up with Dugu Ming and the others!"

"..."

Two months later, outside the Wilderness, on Dugu Ming's warship.

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be so preoccupied over the past few days?" Is your injury not completely healed and you've gotten a relapse? "

Dugu Ming looked at Li Yi, who was frowning, and couldn't help but ask.

"I've already recovered from my injuries. I just don't know why, but these two days I've been feeling uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen."

Li Yi frowned.

"Brother Li, you worry too much. There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the Wilderness, but few of us can match up to them. Furthermore, there are so many of us and no savage beasts would dare to cause trouble with us!"

Dugu Ming smiled. Li Yi truly couldn't think of any trouble, so he could only nod.

"I hope that I have overthought it!"

A thousand miles behind Li Yi and Dugu Ming, Xiang Shaotian, Dugu Ce, and the rest were riding a battleship as they chased after Li Yi and the rest.

"Brother Dugu, do we have to be so far away from Li Yi and the others? Don't lose him!"

Xiang Shaotian looked ahead, but couldn't see any trace of Li Yi and the rest. He couldn't help but ask this.

"Rest assured, Gu Guming has long since obtained Dugu Ming's lifeblood essence. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, they could still find traces of him and not lose him!"

Dugu Zhe had a confident look on his face.

"Innate blood essence?" How did you get it? "

Just as Xiang Shaotian asked this question, Dugu Ce started to frown. Xiang Shaotian naturally knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have, and hurriedly replied, "But that's not important, as long as we can find them." "Humph, this time I will make sure they all die in this wasteland!"

"Continue to follow them. Let's wait until we enter the depths of the Wilderness before making a move. We'll make sure that they won't be able to escape even if they have wings!"

"..."

"Something is not right, something is not right!"

On Dugu Ming's warship, Li Yi kept looking behind him, looking very agitated.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Dugu Ming looked at Li Yi with a strange expression.

"Brother Dugu, I think we've been targeted!"

Li Yi's expression turned ugly. Ever since they entered the Wilderness, the bad feeling became more and more intense. Li Yi was now certain that it wasn't an illusion, but something really bad was going to happen.

According to what Dugu Ming said, there shouldn't be any demon beasts that could threaten them in the Wilderness. This could only be a threat from the enemy.

"Brother Li, did you discover something?"

Dugu Ming's expression also darkened. Although he hadn't known Li Yi for a long time, Dugu Ming believed that he already had a certain understanding of Li Yi. Without absolute confidence, Li Yi wouldn't easily come to a conclusion.

"I just felt that something was wrong before I entered the Wilderness. At that time, I thought that I was just thinking too much, but that feeling has been growing stronger recently!" My feelings have always been accurate, so it should be true! "

"Then Brother Li, who do you think will attack us?"

Dugu Ming asked.

"Brother Dugu, I came to the Central Region for the first time. I don't know much about this place, and I don't know many people. Similarly, my enemies are also few. After thinking about it, I think only the Great Chu's Sacred Court's Xiang Shaotian is here!"

"Xiang Shaotian?"

Dugu Ming was a bit uncertain, "It can't be? Our combined strength is much stronger than that of Xiang Shaotian's group. This fellow has already suffered a loss once. Without absolute confidence, he shouldn't have come looking for trouble with us! "

"Of course he won't be able to do it himself. He's just afraid that he'll join forces with others to deal with us. Brother Dugu, do you have any enemies or enemies that could work with him? Think about it carefully! "

Li Yi had seen too many cases of colluding against each other. Xiang Shaotian's strength was naturally insufficient to deal with him and Dugu Ming, but if someone helped him, it was uncertain.

"Enemies or enemies?"

Dugu Ming's heart suddenly flashed with a bright light: "I know who it is! It's Dugu Zui! "

Dugu Ming suddenly recalled that his subordinate had reported Dugu Ce's presence to him back in Yunxi city. It seemed like it wasn't a coincidence, that fellow must have been eyeing them for a long time.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Dugu Zun and Xiang Shaotian were definitely in cahoots with each other. Their goal was to deal with Li Yi and him.

"Dugu Ce?"

Li Yi glanced at Dugu Ming: "You people from the Great Qin Holy Court?"

"Yes, he is the eldest brother of Gu, the crown prince of the Great Qin Court."

"Understood, Saint King!"

Li Yi understood. This was the struggle for the throne. This was a battle between brothers. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, this was unavoidable!

"Well, now we should think about what to do. Although Xiang Shaotian was domineering, he was not a fool. As for that so-called Dugu Ce, since he was able to become the crown prince of the Great Qin Holy Court, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Therefore, once we make a move, it will definitely be like a violent storm. We must be on guard! "

Li Yi rolled his eyes, "Do you think this is okay? Let's fix the road and secretly cross Chen Cang!"

"What gangway? What Chen Cang? Brother Li, please explain yourself."

Seeing Dugu Ming's dazed look, Li Yi slapped his head. He had forgotten that there was no such thing as Chu and Han duo competing in this world. Naturally, no one knew about this story.

"That means we have to let them pretend to be us and continue forward along their original route. We'll take a detour around them and observe from the side. If we can't deal with them because they have more people, we'll retreat for now." Otherwise, we'll just attack them from the inside and the outside so that they won't be able to return! "

Li Yi's eyes flashed with coldness. Dugu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately shook his head: "No, this can fool others, but not Dugu Zui! "Dugu Zhe has a drop of blood essence with him. He can use a secret technique to track him down even if he is thousands of miles away."

"Blood essence?" "How could you leave such an important item in Dugu Zhe's hands?"

Li Yi frowned. Blood essence was different from normal blood. That was the essence of a human body. How could such an important thing be obtained by Dugu Ce?

After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth again, "I won't hide it from Brother Li. Dugu Zhe and I are siblings born of the same mother. When mufei passed away, Imperial Father gave us the blood essence of our hearts in exchange for the safety of Imperial Mother. It meant that we were of the same heart and would never abandon each other."

After saying this, a trace of helpless self-mockery flashed across Dugu Ming's face: "Brothers are of the same heart, we'll never abandon each other? Hmph, these kinds of words can only comfort the passing mufei. Even royal father doesn't believe it himself! For the relationship between us brothers, it's largely because royal father has always instigated us! "

"Have you heard of the wolf pack? When the head wolf chooses the next head of the wolf pack, it will always choose the strongest, which is why it will let the wolves under its command fight each other and pick the most suitable wolf pack? That's what the lonely father thought."

Li Yi nodded. No wonder he couldn't find anyone to follow him. Dugu Ming had used his blood essence to follow them from a distance. However, even if others couldn't do it, it didn't mean that he, Li Yi, couldn't.

"I have a plan for blood essence. I can definitely fool Dugu Ce!"

In terms of control over blood essence, Li Yi recognized himself as number two, and no one in the world would dare to recognize him as number one. No matter how serious his injuries were, how much more terrifying and turbulent the blood essence was, the blood essence would always flow back into his body.

The Wanxiang Body's ability, the Wanxiang Clone, also came from the extremely strong control of one's blood essence.

Each and every one of the Wanxiang clones were actually formed from a drop of Li Yi's blood essence. After the body of the Wanxiang Clone was shattered, it would turn back into blood essence and return to Li Yi's body.

Li Yi's method was to split out a drop of Dugu Ming's blood essence to form a clone. It didn't have any offensive power, but it had the same aura as the main body and could definitely fool Dugu Zui.

As for Dugu Ming, as long as he could master the [Breathing Converging Technique], he could naturally hide his presence and not be detected by Dugu Zui's secret art. Li Yi's plan would be carried out.

"Brother Li, do you really plan to teach me the [Restraint Technique]?"

As the fourth prince of the Great Qin Empire, Dugu Ming had good judgement. He could tell that although the [Resting] technique did not have any offensive power, it was definitely a rare and secret technique. It was worth more than a heaven-rank secret technique.
