In the past two months since he entered the Kaiyuan Realm, Gao Yuan has insisted on taking out an hour every day to practice his control of spiritual thoughts.
Although he did not have any special techniques and had no breakthrough in his cultivation level, the increase in the intensity of his spiritual thoughts was very limited.
But in the process of constant experimentation, he also discovered a lot of tips on how to use spiritual thoughts.
Under normal circumstances, if he lets go of his spiritual thoughts, he can cover a space of about twenty meters in radius at most.
But if it is deliberately guided, the spiritual thoughts can also be compressed into tentacles extending in one direction, which can detect situations up to fifty meters away.
Just like now, he slowly turned into the alley where Su Qing lived, then kept his traveling speed unchanged, calmly stretched out his spiritual tentacles, and gently moved across the street.
At the exit of the alley.
Su Qing's team was stationed in the fourth house in this alley, which was smaller than the one where Gao Yuan lived, so he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard without taking many steps.
Just when he was about to knock on the door, with the help of the spiritual tentacles lying outside the alley, he suddenly saw a man as skinny as a monkey.
I saw him sneaking up behind the wall at the entrance of the alley, squeezing his right hand in place for a long time before seeming to complete a magic formula, and then sticking his right hand out of the wall.
After reaching out his right hand, the skinny man's expression suddenly relaxed, as if he could 'see' Gao Yuan's every move through some magic technique.
Sure enough there is a problem!
Gao Yuanyuan cursed secretly in his heart, and then he knocked on the courtyard door quietly, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.
He didn't know if Su Qing's absence at home had anything to do with the person spying on him, he murmured in his heart.
Then he pretended to knock on the door a few times, and after making sure that no one answered the door, he turned around and walked back, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
If it were outside Qingliang City, he would definitely step forward to arrest someone without hesitation. With the master-level mind-catching spell, he would not be afraid that the other party would not attack them.
Judging from the fact that the other party has no response to his spiritual tentacles, this person should be a monk in the Qi training realm.
With the strength of the four master-level spells that he has now mastered, let alone a small Qi-training realm, even a Kaiyuan realm monk of the same level would be hard-pressed to say how long he could withstand his surprise attack.
But now we are in Qingliang City after all. According to the rules in the city, private fights are prohibited whether in the Qi Training Realm or the Kaiyuan Realm. Otherwise, once the law enforcement team is alerted, it will cause a lot of trouble.
After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with any good solution. He could only decide to take one step at a time and observe the other party's movements first, so he went straight home.
…
After entering the house, Gao Yuan left his spiritual tentacles outside the courtyard, then closed the door and waited quietly.
Not long after, he saw the skinny man who had been following him appear at the door of his house.
He first glanced at the closed courtyard door, then walked to the door next door, and quickly opened the door and walked in.
Gao Yuan, who sensed all this through his spiritual mind, was shocked. This guy actually lives next door to him?
Then he guided his spiritual tentacles through the walls of the two houses, chasing the skinny man into the house.
At this time, there were already five people waiting in the room. Except for a somewhat reserved young man standing in the corner, the others looked quite young. They were basically in their fifties and above, and their faces were more sinister than the last. They looked at
None of them look like good people.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, several people in the room turned their heads to look. One of them, an old man with a horse face, looked at the thin man who entered the door and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Old ghost Zhou, how can you do things like this? You sent your nephew to call me over early in the morning, saying that we had something important to discuss, but you didn't even show your face and made me wait here.
Most of the day!”
Hearing this, the skinny man cupped his hands towards the other party, came to the main seat in the room and sat down and explained:
"Thank you for waiting for a long time. I originally wanted to wait for you to come over, but it turned out that the man left early in the morning. I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I followed him out directly."
Seeing that the horse-faced old man wanted to speak, the skinny man waved his hand to signal the other person to calm down, and then said with a straight face:
"You have worked with Zhou for many years, so you should know who I am. This is a big deal!"
Having said this, he looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he smiled calmly and said:
"This is a task assigned by a nobleman in the inner city. The goal of the task is to kill a monk in the Qi training realm. The cultivation level of this person registered in the administrative hall five months ago was the seventh level of Qi training. Three months ago, he was on duty
The palace achieved an actual combat rating of 'B-top'.
The mission lasts for ten days. If it is completed within ten days, each person will receive ten intermediate spiritual stones. If the mission lasts for more than ten days, one additional intermediate spiritual stone will be given each day. What do you think?"
After the skinny man finished speaking, a short, fat middle-aged man thought for a moment and said:
"If what Zhou Daoyou said is true, the reward for this mission is indeed very generous, but I don't know how much you know about the mission target. After all, it involves people in the inner city, so don't cause any more trouble!"
The thin man heard this and said calmly:
"No need to worry about this, I already know this person's details.
This person came to Qingliang City after the Qingyuan Town incident. He should be a descendant of a certain family in the town. You must have heard about the incident in Qingyuan Town half a year ago. Although this person survived by luck, the family behind him
But it has been reduced to ashes, killing it will not bring any hidden danger to you!"
Several people in the room immediately relaxed after hearing this, and then asked a few more questions, and the thin man also patiently answered them.
After a while, when several people stopped talking, the thin man continued:
"After this person arrived in Qingliang City, he spent most of his time outside the city, and as soon as he came back, he ran to various shops and service halls. I guess he earned spiritual stones by hunting monsters in the wild forest. This time
I probably won't be able to stay for a few days after I come back.
You all can stay here with me for the next few days, and as soon as he leaves the city, we can follow him and kill him, and the matter will be settled!"
Seeing that no one objected, the thin man walked to the desk nearby, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper for a while, then handed it to an old man with a scar on his face and said:
"Fellow Taoist Fang has many friends. This is the shop that man went to today. Could you please go find someone to find out what that man bought today, especially magical instruments, talismans and other items. If he has any additional purchases, be sure to ask for them."
Ask clearly!
In addition, go to the Service Hall and find someone to ask what that person did in the Service Hall today. If you received any tasks, remember to ask clearly about the details of the tasks!"
The scar-faced old man who was called 'Fellow Daoist Fang' heard the words and did not refuse. He took the piece of paper and agreed with all his heart.
…
Gao Yuan stood there, using his spiritual tentacles to have a panoramic view of everything happening next door.
Hearing the skinny man say that it was a task assigned by nobles in the inner city, he felt a little strange in his heart.
The only person he interacts with in the inner city is Chen Ziming. Could it be the Mei family?
This doesn't make sense. Not to mention the friendly attitude of the Mei family towards him when he first entered the city. Even if their family really wanted to touch him, they wouldn't have the trouble to ask these outsiders to do it.
A Hunyuan Realm family like this has a lot of Kaiyuan Realm monks under their sect.
Moreover, according to what the other party just described, he had to follow him outside the city before he dared to take action. It was obvious that he was hiding from the light.
So who is targeting me?
Gao Yuan was puzzled. When he heard that the skinny man asked someone to inquire about his situation after leaving home, he was suddenly shocked.
Not to mention the fact that he went to these shops to sell top-quality magic weapons and elixirs, once these people knew that he sold 641 crystallized magic cores at one time, even a fool would know that there was something wrong!
Once these people are allowed to pass the news to the so-called noble man in the inner city, it will inevitably cause even greater trouble.
We can't keep these people!
Gao Yuan made a decision in an instant, and without further delay, he quietly opened the door and entered the courtyard.
Then he quickly cast the Wind Curse, and while he was floating up, he silently recited the Heart-Seizing Curse, and landed in the yard next door in a flash.
A moment later, as the last incantation was uttered, the seal on his hand was completed, and he was pushed out lightly towards the house.
"Buzz!"
As the void shook, a blood-colored shadow, under his deliberate suppression, spread out in the direction of the house in a fan shape with his body as the center. In an instant, it passed by six figures in the house.
At the same time, Gao Yuan felt a very obvious sense of connection among the six paths.
He was not surprised by this, and his mind changed accordingly.
"Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!"
Following five slight sounds like exploding watermelons, several clouds of blood rained down from the house!
