Chapter 276: Black Lines

Chapter 276 – Black Lines
“Can you find any other clues, it’s hard to find the person out on its own.” Chen Fei placed the blood snake back into the disk and looked at Qian Jianlong.

With just a little bit of scent, it was not very realistic for someone as strong as the Orifice Practicing Realm to be able to locate the person in a sea of people. And if the person couldn’t be found, I’m afraid that this mission would drag on for a very long time.

As for the idea of guarding Mo Yang Villa and coming to a standstill, it wasn’t a thing either, God knows when that thief would come.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had given the mission this time, and had the two Orifice Practicing Realms go out, one was just in case there were any other surprises, and at the same time, they also wanted to get this matter settled as early as possible.

Nowadays, the situation around Immortal Cloud City was constantly on the rise, and only by resolving all the matters in the area under their control could the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect have more energy to deal with the Divine Flame Sect.

“There are no other clues.” Qian Jianlong shook his head.

“Then how do you intend for us to search?” Fang Zhehua’s brows couldn’t help but frown, just as Chen Fei had said, with this much, it was impossible to search for that person.

Qian Jianlong let out a bitter smile, the things he had at his disposal were just this much, if he was allowed to change, he wouldn’t be able to change any other useful information out.

“Take us to the place where we found the black shadow that day to take a look.” Chen Fei thought for a moment and said.

“Alright, two of you, this way please.”

Qian Jianlong nodded and led the two of them, Chen Fei and Fang Zhehua, to the back of the mountain villa.

Chen Fei looked around, although the Mo Yang Villa was mainly planting Qing Yang Grass as well as raising blood snakes, it would actually plant some other medicinal herbs again.

After all, the environment here, as well as the specially set up formations, allowed the Yuan Qi of the Mo Yang Mountain Villa to be a notch higher compared to other places.

Under this kind of Yuan Qi condition, no matter what medicinal herbs were planted, the growth would be very good. Thus, when he came to the back of the mountain villa, the smell of various medicinal scents came to his face.

“This is the place, I had it specially circled.”

Qian Jianlong led the two of them to a sloping area, pointing to the open space in front surrounded by a fence, with some medicinal powders sprinkled on the ground, causing the other blood snakes to avoid this place from afar after smelling the smell.

Fang Zhehua dodged and came to stand on top of the fence, his body stood there as if it didn’t have an ounce of weight, and looked down at the situation in the fence.

A moment later, Fang Zhehua returned, his brows furrowed.

Chen Fei was the same as Fang Zhehua just now, his toes lightly tapping on the fence, sensing the scent below.

“At that time, the guards oscillated the formation in time, so they intercepted a bit of the aura.” Qian Jianlong explained.

Mo Yang Villa was enveloped by a huge formation, which could gather Yuan Qi and also protect the Villa. In cases like this where one sneaks in, if one is a little weaker, one would probably be left directly in place by the formation.

“The aura is consistent with the one on the blood snake, but it’s all too weak.”

Fang Zhehua looked up at Chen Fei and said in a deep voice, “How about you and I each go out and look for something, and come back here an hour later?”

“Good!”

Chen Fei nodded, without much of a clue, it was natural to search separately, with a greater likelihood of producing results.

This time, there was a reward given for the mission given by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Five Yuan Stones if completed successfully. The Yuan Chen Sword Faction did not have the habit of being a middleman, and these five Yuan Stones would be given directly to Chen Fei.

The Changhong Sect was presumed to be the same, thus Fang Zhehua had a certain amount of motivation to do this mission, after all, five Yuan Stones, nowadays, looking at it, the one facing is not a strong person of the same rank, and the return is not bad.

From this point of view, Immortal Cloud Sword Sect is actually doing things quite well, at least arranging tasks for you, will give you a little subsidy, is considered to be a little bit of respect for the cultivation of the orifice realm martial artists.

Of course, if it’s the kind of mission that is handed out to body refining realm martial artists, there is no subsidy at all, and each sect is almost obligatory to cooperate.

Just like when Chen Fei first joined the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, he was asked to pick herbs simply because the Xian Yun Sword Sect needed some herbs nowadays, that’s all.

Five Yuan Stones, nowadays Chen Fei didn’t care much about it, he just wanted to finish the task earlier so that he could go back to his alchemy and cultivation. The mission here, delayed a few more days, the loss is more than the mission reward.

Fang Zhehua flickered and disappeared in place, Chen Fei glanced around, flickered to one of the eaves of the mountain villa, and looked down at the entire Mo Yang Mountain Villa.

It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was even harder to sneak in, and ordinary Viscera Realm practitioners were afraid that they would be discovered before they could sneak in for long.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, in this situation, that black shadow was still able to sneak in, either the Kung Fu method was really very peculiar and was able to conceal it from everyone within the mountain village.

Either that, that black shadow might not really be just at the Viscera Practicing Realm?

But if it wasn’t the Viscera Practicing Realm, with the cultivation level of the Orifice Practicing Realm, there were many unreasonable points.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei stepped on the eaves with his right foot, transformed into a stump, and disappeared into the upper air of the Mo Yang Villa.

Qian Jianlong stood below and watched as Chen Fei disappeared, an indescribable smile slowly surfacing on his face.

In the jungle, a shadow flickered and eventually rested on a treetop, it was precisely Chen Fei who had left Mo Yang Mountain Villa.

At this moment, a faint black line surrounded Chen Fei’s fingers, constantly traveling, it was precisely the touch of breath that Chen Fei had intercepted from Mo Yang Villa just now. Now that the only clue was this scent, Chen Fei could only try to see if he could find something a little different based on the pull of the scent.

Just coming out for a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei found nothing.

After all, Chen Fei is not on the other side of the body under the mind mark, that can also be based on the mark and their own mind power linkage, to a thousand miles of soul chasing.

Now only rely on a breath, there is no way to find. Chen Fei now more, is looking around whether there are unfamiliar signs of people. After all, this place is remote, normal martial artists will not appear here, let alone ordinary people.

If he was able to find some traces of people, he would still be able to follow the map when the time came, or else there really was no way at all.

Soon, half an hour passed, Chen Fei still didn’t find any new clues, instead, he found a few medicinal herbs of some years. Based on the principle of not wasting, Chen Fei directly picked the several herbs and threw them into the space compartment.

Standing on a rocky mountain, Chen Fei looked at the black threads in his hands and frowned slightly. I’m afraid that if he searched for three days and three nights, he wouldn’t necessarily get any results.

Chen Fei thought for a moment, the Thousand Silk Skill operated, the mind power in the sea of consciousness suddenly split, and then slowly injected into the black line in his hand.

Since the breath is too weak, it is better to provide it with nutrients, and raise the concentration of the breath, so that when the time comes to look for someone, it will at least be easier to find.

Chen Fei didn’t know if this method he thought of was feasible or not. But since he couldn’t find anyone, he might as well try a different method.

Anyway, it was only a breath, so destroying it would not have much of an impact.

The slender mind power was injected little by little into the black line, which gradually expanded in size. But after just a moment, Chen Fei stopped.

Because the black line could not withstand it and was about to collapse, at the same time, the breath of the black line became a little strange, because it was mixed with Chen Fei’s own breath.

After all, Chen Fei’s mind power definitely carried Chen Fei’s imprint.

“Feeding is feasible, but there’s still a bit of my aura to strip away.”

Thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, and the Thousand Silk Skill began to operate at its limit, the already slender mind power became even more crystalline, but the aura about Chen Fei in it only became faint, but did not dissipate.

Chen Fei’s brows were slightly wrinkled, his expression was focused, the slender mind power continued to peel off, only this peeling off, seemed to be a bit beyond Chen Fei’s tolerance, the mind power began to boil up.

“Buzz!”

The Zhen Dragon Elephant God Suppressing portion suddenly operated, suppressing the boiling mind power and preventing it from injuring its own fundamentals.

And as Chen Fei continued to peel it off, a trace of mind power that did not carry any of Chen Fei’s aura floated out and surged into the black thread in his hand.

The black line began to gradually become thicker, the breath contained in it gradually became clearer and clearer, and from afar, Chen Fei seemed to perceive the black line and the faraway place, which seemed to link up a bit.

“It’s working!”

Chen Fei’s face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile as the Heart Bead Fragment was taken out by Chen Fei and enveloped outside the black line. This way, when the black thread continued to grow, the owner of this black thread would not be able to perceive the aura that remained here.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the black line within the Heart Bead Fragment had expanded by more than ten times, but at this level, no matter how Chen Fei injected his mind power, this black line could not be absorbed any further, and had clearly reached its limit.

However, Chen Fei did not force it any further, because at this moment, the black line already had a vague sense of the perception of the distance, at least it could already roughly guide a little direction.

“The breath that remains, is actually able to be pulled like this, it seems that in the future, one should also pay attention to it. There might even be this specific gong method.”

Chen Fei looked at the black line and said in his heart. However, Chen Fei thought of the Thousand Silk Skill and put his heart down again.

When the Thousand Silk Skill was cultivated to the back, according to what the secret book said, one could astringe the retention of one’s own breath, and even when one detected a difference, one could cut it off through the air.

“It’s been an hour, go back and see if Fang Zhehua has gained anything.”

Chen Fei glanced at the sky, put away the black threads on his fingertips, and rushed towards Mo Yang Villa.

In just a few moments, Chen Fei returned to the middle of the mountain villa, and Fang Zhehua had long since returned. Seeing Chen Fei, Fang Zhehua lifted his steps and came before Chen Fei.

“I found a little something, I just can’t be sure yet, I’m afraid it’s not as simple as a Viscera Practicing Realm.” Fang Zhehua said in a deep voice.

Chen Fei’s expression moved slightly as he nodded and followed Fang Zhehua’s lead, rushing into the jungle.

In less than a tea break, Fang Zhehua stopped at a treetop, pointed at a cave a hundred meters away, and said in a low voice, “There are some traces there, and the aura that remains is very similar to the one inside the mountain villa.”

Chen Fei looked down and saw that the cave was not big, but it was dark inside, even with the visual power of the Aperture Practicing Realm, he was unable to fully see through it. Obviously this cave was not small, and there was still a not-so-small section of space inside.

Chen Fei did not say anything, the section of black thread in his sleeve, the location it was pointing to at the moment, was not in this cave.
