C182 Unexpectedly

With the continuation of the pursuit plan, Ugly Time unknowingly arrived late. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, because many people smelled something different from the past from the direction of the Imperial City, filled with conspiracies and killing intent.

"Quick, the few of you go over there. The rest, follow me!"

Finally, even the Forbidden Soldiers participated in the pursuit. The usually quiet deep palace was currently broken by the sounds of hurried footsteps and orders.

"Pass on my order. Send another five hundred men to seal off all the entrances to the palace. We must catch the traitor Yeh Guxing before dawn!"

The commanders had also moved out, and more and more people woke up from their dreams.

In the courtyard, an old man felt the murderous atmosphere around him and smiled meaningfully.

After that, he no longer paid attention to anything else, and slowly closed his eyes that had no pupils.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Within the Clear Shadow Hall, Chu Feng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, asked faintly.

"Your majesty, we have searched every corner of the Imperial Palace, but there are still no clues. Could it be. . . That the traitor has escaped the Palace?"

Marquis Ling Yun said carefully from the side.

"What is your cultivation base now?"

Chu Feng opened his mouth and asked instead of answering.

Although Ling Yun didn't understand what he meant, he still answered respectfully without hesitation, "Your subordinate isn't talented, and is only at the Mid Period of Attack Stopping Stage. "

Chu Feng said, "Hehe, Mid Period of Attack Stopping Stage. With Ling Aiqing's cultivation base, can she climb the wall directly from the inner courtyard?"

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said, "Just barely. "

"Then, can you sneak out of the palace without disturbing anyone?"

"This. . . "

Ling Yun was unable to answer. After all, the layout of the palace was not ordinary and complicated. Although he went in and out of the palace all day long, he did not dare to say that he completely grasped it, not to mention that he even wanted to sneak past the most tightly guarded 18 passes without being discovered. It was no different from a fool's dream. Thus, he honestly said, This subordinate is not confident. "

"Hehe, even a peak Mid Period of Attack Stopping Stage like you doesn't have the ability to do so. Could Yeh Guxing, a mere Early Spirit Smelting Stage cultivator, be stronger than you?"

Chu Feng suddenly raised his voice and said.

"Uh, your subordinate is slow-witted. Your subordinate will send more men to search this place. We will not let go of any corner. We will strive to find and kill the traitor in the shortest time possible!"

Ling Yun knelt down with a terrified expression and promised Chu Feng.

"Go. "

Chu Feng waved his hand and finally showed a tired face.

"Son of Misfortune? Sure enough, it's not that easy to kill him. I hope these people won't disappoint me. "

Chu Feng looked at Ling Yun's back as he left and said softly.

However, things went contrary to their wishes. In the blink of an eye, another two hours had passed. No matter how Ling Yun and the others searched, they could not find a single trace of Guxing. It was as if he had disappeared from the world. They searched everywhere for him.

"Strange. Where did this brat hide? Did he really leave the palace?"

Then, he smiled bitterly and rejected his own idea. "No matter how powerful this kid is, he's only at the Spirit Cultivating Stage, and he has just broken through to the Early Stage. Although his progress is really fast, it's not realistic for him to do something that even I'm not confident about. "

Thinking of this, Ling Yun laughed and said, "You can hide anywhere you want. I'll do my best. As for whether I can catch him or not. . . Ling Yun smiled and said, It's up to you to hide somewhere. I'll just do my part. As for whether I can catch him or not, that's not something I have to consider. "

When he thought of this, he began to hum a little tune happily. As he floated in the tense atmosphere, it was indescribably strange. He was completely out of tune with the environment around him.

As for the eight unlucky assassins, they had already been recalled by Chu Feng. Of course, a severe punishment was unavoidable. However, since they were in need of manpower at the moment, Chu Feng had them join the search team and atone for their crimes.

"Damn it! We have almost searched the entire Imperial City. Why can't we see the shadow of that brat?"

After searching for several hours without any results, even Laoer, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't keep his composure any longer.

"We have sent so many people, but they still couldn't find any clues. Can this kid still fly with his wings?"

Hearing this, the others also echoed.

At this time, Old Sixth suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said with a mysterious expression: "Do you think that kid will return to his original place after we leave? Otherwise, why can't we see him after searching for so long?"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader's nasal voice. "Hmph. You still have the face to say that if it wasn't for your nose always dropping at critical moments. . . We would have caught that kid a long time ago. There's no need to waste so much effort. Now that he has escaped, why would he come back? Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you!?"

His words instantly rendered Sixth Brother speechless. He lowered his head and lost all his spirit. Everyone knew that the man in the lead was furious at this moment, so they tactfully didn't say anything. After exchanging glances, they vanished into the night sky.

When the sky started to brighten, everyone felt a little listless after running around for a day. However, they had to keep doing it no matter how tired they were. It was useless to do it one by one.

It was still the winding corridor. The originally calm surface of the water suddenly began to ripple. Upon closer inspection, there was actually a figure secretly emerging from the surface of the water. If one didn't pay attention, they would see that he had already come to the shore from the water.

Twisting the water on his clothes, Guxing vigilantly looked at his surroundings. Then, he quickly left, leaving behind only a trail of water.
