The Mountain, The Bamboo Forest And The Maid
The Lunisolar Shadow!
It was a skill used to conceal oneself and become untraceable. Ye Xiao had obtained the scroll of Lunisolar Shadow after he had killed a one-footed robber in the Qing-Yun Realm. The robber had just reached the mystical Grade of Daoyuan. But it had actually taken Ye Xiao, who was at the peak of the Grade of Daoyuan at that time, an entire month to track him down!
If the robber had not eventually exhausted himself, Ye Xiao might not have been able to catch him.
After Ye Xiao took the scroll of Lunisolar Shadow from the robber’s dead body, he came to know that the Lunisolar Shadow was truly something outstanding!
The most wonderful thing about this skill was that he could use it to conceal himself instantly and then flee away as per his convenience!
Such a miraculous skill was truly something that could keep him safe under any circumstance. Moreover, using it only cost a tiny bit of his energy, which made it unreasonably powerful!
Ye Xiao had mastered this skill only after he had spent a lot of time to practice. But, in spite of all these benefits, this was the first time that he had been forced to use it.
The Xiao Monarch had been so powerful that he did not even have to hide from anyone. He had never been in a situation in which he had been forced to use this skill, that is, until now!
Ye Xiao had been diligently following this man. The man seemed very cautious and kept changing directions at unexpected intervals. Maybe, he had felt that something was wrong. In fact, he had changed no less than fifteen times.
When daybreak came, he actually stopped and stood still. He kept looking around for fifteen minutes until he finally chose a direction and shot off without any warning.
Ye Xiao was caught off guard.
The man’s cultivation level should be around the 6th rank of the Grade of Diyuan. Although Ye Xiao was not strong enough to perform the Lunisolar Shadow perfectly, he could still conceal himself to a satisfying extent. But the man really had a superior spiritual sense!
Ye Xiao kept following the man at a distance of about three hundred yards. He usually kept a distance of a hundred yards while shadowing people , but he wasn’t strong enough at the moment, so he kept a longer distance, so as to avoid being noticed. But he still had drawn the attention of this man, who had tried several times to shake him off.
It was not until Ye Xiao had drawn back another hundred yards, that the man finally relaxed.
Ye Xiao had realized that this man’s spiritual sense was superior to ordinary cultivators, so he didn’t dare get any closer.
The man finally reached the base of a mountain and quickly started to make his way to the peak. He kept on jumping, seemingly floating, to reach the top. Ye Xiao was just about to follow him before he sensed something and immediately backed off. Ye Xiao was scared half to death, and sweat started rolling down his back.
It turned out the man had suddenly turned around to check for followers, when he had just steadily landed on the mountain.
And then the man transformed into several ghost shadows which ran rapidly into different directions and then disappeared.
“This guy could really make one’s hackles rise with his unbelievable caution.” Ye Xiao thought and quietly came down from a tree, and then he gingerly moved along the grass.
He guessed that this place should be where the man’s base was located.
He was sure about it as he had seen the man acting with increased caution over here.
Whoever had been backing this man should be beyond this mountain. Ye Xiao might not be able to confirm it, but he could at least get to know something if he went ahead and investigated.
However, this place must be extremely dangerous!
What troubled Ye Xiao most was that this mountain wasn’t just any normal mountain. It was completely devoid of any vegetation!
Whoever crossed the mountain top would definitely get exposed!
Ye Xiao sneaked forward and only peaked his head above the mountaintop, and then he immediately drew back.
There was a bamboo forest in front of him, a sea of bamboo trees.
It wasn’t surprising that a bamboo forest existed among the mountains. But, it was a totally different situation when it was inside the capital. Ye Xiao thought that this bamboo forest must be under the protection of the government. Therefore, it was either something which belonged to the government like the Royal Garden or something which belonged to someone… Who even the government wouldn’t dare to mess with.
Ye Xiao had just taken a glance and had seen nothing but the forest.
Although he had just taken a single glance, he could confirm that there were no constructions within the forest.
“This bamboo forest is truly weird somehow.” Ye Xiao pondered.
He couldn’t believe that there actually was something in this mortal world that he couldn’t figure out…
Ye Xiao quickly analyzed what he had seen with that glance, and suddenly two words emerged in his mind.
‘Energy Arrays!’
As soon as he realised this, a feeling of danger invaded his senses.
The very next moment, Ye Xiao ran away at top speed.
Right after Ye Xiao left, about fifty men arrived from all over. They were obviously trying to quietly outflank Ye Xiao.
Every one of them was equally strong as the man Ye Xiao had been tracing; in fact some of them might even be stronger.
Anyway, each and every one of them was a lot stronger than the present Ye Xiao.
If Ye Xiao had left a bit later and fallen into their trap, then he would’ve definitely died; even if he had a thousand lives, it wouldn’t be enough to survive!
