Xing Tianqi was notoriously undisciplined in Xingyue Tower.
Before letting Zhou Yuan leave, he asked Youhua and Youtai to follow him, while he wandered around the world.
Having reached the position of Zuo Shi, he has always been proud of himself and does not take anyone or anything seriously. He has let Zhou Yuan go again and again before. This is not because he is soft-hearted, but because he is born with the ability to play tricks on others.
The bad taste of applause.
In his opinion, it was a very interesting thing to let Zhou Yuan go again and again, making Zhou Yuan feel the psychological gap again and again, from being full of hope to finally despairing, and then killing him when he got tired of it.
But now, there are flaws in his plan, and Youhua has obviously sent out a distress signal.
After wandering around the mountains only 700 miles away from Tanwu City, Xing Tianqi finally found Youhua's phonetic jade through the induction of the music-transmitting jade.
There are already cracks in Youhua's telegraph jade, and there are obvious traces of battle not far away.
"Earth spirit beast?" Xing Tianqi glanced at the huge footprints on the ground, slowly raised his head, and then saw a small mound not far away.
Xing Tianqi looked solemn.
This place has reached a place where humans live together, and the mountains and fields are vast, which is not suitable for the habitat of earth spirit beasts. How can there be traces of the activities of earth spirit beasts?
Next to the small mound, Xing Tianqi found some dried blood.
After hesitating for a moment, he leveled the small mound of soil and saw at a glance the erratic corpse of Youhua underground.
"Youhua was killed by the earth spirit beast, but why was she buried on the spot and not eaten?"
Xing Tianqi was full of doubts. You Hua's death was too unclear. There were many mysteries in it. He could think of You Hua's death and did not rule out human factors, but he did not connect it with Zhou Yuan at all.
In his opinion, Zhou Yuan was not qualified enough to kill Youhua.
"Who dares to touch my Xingyue Tower Dharma King?"
When I opened the mouth of the gourd, a large number of densely packed black insects immediately flew out.
These bugs are called tracking bugs. They can trace all the breaths within ten days. They are a method of raising voodoos that is not spread to others in Xingyue Tower.
At this moment, these bugs flew out and immediately began to search for the surrounding atmosphere. Finally, they landed on the ground and attached to each of the footprints. Xing Tianqi immediately saw clearly that there were four types of footprints of different sizes on the scene.
Of these four kinds of footprints, one is his own, one is Youhua's, and the other is from the earth spirit beast.
As for the fourth footprint, it is also very clear.
Xing Tianqi walked all the way, and the tracking bug explored all the way, and soon he came to another mound.
When the mound of soil was dug up, Youtai's body was revealed underneath.
Xing Tianqi looked ugly. Both Youhua and Youtai were dead. Who were they? Two powerful men in the spirit transformation realm were no match for each other. What happened to the earth spirit beast?
Faced with this scene, Xing Tianqi still had something to say even if he returned to the main building owner.
After all, the aura showed that this earth spirit beast was at a high level, and the person who killed Youhua and Youtai was also very mysterious.
After spreading his consciousness and searching the area, Xing Tianqi finally gave up the search.
It's not that he can't find it. With Xingyue Tower's ability, it's only a matter of time before he can find the murderer. But the most important thing for him now is to find Zhou Yuan first.
"Zhou Yuan should be in Tanwu City at the moment. When I find him, I will take his body back to the imperial capital."
Xing Tianqi thought to himself that he no longer had any interest in playing tricks on Zhou Yuan and wanted to deal with Zhou Yuan as soon as possible and rush back to recover.
After entering Tanwu City, Xing Tianqi found Zhou Yuan's aura through another kind of Gu.
"Sure enough, you are in Tanwu City. Let me see where you are?" Xing Tianqi had a smile on his face and began to follow Zhou Yuan's aura.
When Zhou Yuan entered Tanwu City, he walked directly around the city.
Xing Tianqi also followed and walked around the city, and finally he arrived at the Xicheng Port.
At this time, his face was a little gloomy. He felt that he had been tricked by Zhou Yuan. Why did he have to go around the city for a week before arriving at the port? Wouldn't it be more time-saving to come directly to the port?
"He bought the ferry ticket and must have been looking for a place to rest. Let me see where he ended up?"
Xing Tianqi continued to follow and circled the port. He wanted to explore Zhou Yuan's final destination, but found that Zhou Yuan's final destination pointed to the port Yunfan.
"No, he went directly to Yunfan?"
Xing Tianqi's expression suddenly changed. He thought Zhou Yuan would stay in Tanwu City for a day after buying the ferry ticket, but he actually left on the same day.
Then he investigated again and found that there was indeed no trace of Zhou Yuan in Tanwu City, he immediately came to the port again.
"When will Yunfan go to Qingyuan City?" Xing Tianqi asked the man selling tickets.
Seeing that Xing Tianqi's aura was strong, the man who sold the ticket did not dare to be negligent at all, and said quickly: "One ship left an hour ago, and the next one will have to wait until tomorrow."
Xing Tianqi felt a lump in his throat. It seemed that Zhou Yuan had indeed left Tanwu City.
And if he wants to catch up with Zhou Yuan, he has to wait until tomorrow. Although he can fly, his average speed is still much slower than Yunfan, unless he breaks through in cultivation and reaches the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"That's alright, then I'll let you live a few more days."
Xing Tianqi gritted his teeth and immediately bought a ferry ticket for tomorrow and left the port.
With Zhou Yuan's aura, he can find Zhou Yuan no matter where he goes to the ends of the earth. It's just a waste of time.
The next day, Xing Tianqi came to the port again before sailing.
As soon as he arrived, he noticed a powerful aura approaching. When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Yun Anyang?" He stroked his gray hair and recognized the person.
Na Yun Anyang came all the way north from Tianluo City. He just entered the city today and saw Xing Tianqi from a distance, so he trotted over quickly.
Until he came closer, Yun Anyang smiled and clasped his fists and said: "What a coincidence, Xing Zuoshi, I didn't expect to meet you in this remote Tanwu City."
"Didn't Prince Anyang come here for Zhou Yuan?"
Xing Tianqi also clasped his fists and smiled. As the left envoy of Xingyue Tower, he naturally knew about the grudges between Zhou Yuan and the third prince Yun Zheng. Yun Anyang was sent by Yun Zheng.
Yun Anyang was obviously stunned, "Xing Zuo is also looking for Zhou Yuan?"
"He has some grudges against me in Xingyue Building, and I came here to arrest him on the order of the building owner." Xing Tianqi said calmly.
Hearing this, Yun Anyang suddenly looked happy, "Haha, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Maybe we can join forces to deal with Zhou Yuan. I just wonder if Xing Zuo Shi has found out the whereabouts of Zhou Yuan?"
"Zhou Yuan has left Tanwu City. If the prince doesn't mind, please come with me."
Xing Tianqi had no objection.
"Since Zhou Yuan has left, I can check his specific whereabouts."
The two of them entered the port while talking.
At the ticket sales point, Yun Anyang directly showed his prince token, and those people knelt down and knelt down to worship.
"Help me check a man named Zhou Yuan. Where did he go yesterday?" Yun Anyang said coldly.
The man who sold the tickets immediately checked the records and found that everyone had a ticket purchase record. He quickly found out and immediately said, "Reporting to the prince, Zhou Yuan boarded Yunfan yesterday and went to Qingyuan City."
"Okay, also give me a ferry ticket to Qingyuan City."
Yun Anyang took out a bag of spiritual stones and placed it on the table.
Immediately, Yun Anyang and Xing Tianqi successfully boarded the Yunfan, and the Yunfan started and slowly headed towards Qingyuan City.
Both of them have ways to find Zhou Yuan.
A few days later, the two arrived at Qingyuan City. After investigation, they learned that Zhou Yuan had left Qingyuan City the day before, and Xing Tianqi also found out the aura left by Zhou Yuan in the whole city through Gu insects.
In the end, they had no choice but to buy tickets again and board Yunfan to go to the next city.
In the days that followed, they all did the same thing.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuan was extremely leisurely. Whenever he visited a city, he would choose to wander around the city, experiencing different local cultures and asking about the legends about gods and men.
He heard many versions about the gods, but most of them came from classics or word of mouth.
Without exception, these versions have nothing to do with the departure of his mother, Jiang Shaoling.
This means that he still has a long way to go before he can find his mother's whereabouts.
As for the materials for refining the elixir, he visited several cities and only collected half of them. The other half were extremely rare and precious and difficult to find.
This also means that he will not be able to refine the elixir.
It is impossible to deal with Xing Tianqi.
However, Zhou Yuan took it very lightly and did not give himself much hope. Every time he walked through a city, he would board the ship immediately when the time came, without any delay.
As a result, Xing Tianqi and Yun Anyang could not find Zhou Yuan every time they came.
Every time Yun Anyang investigates the boarding records, he will learn that Zhou Yuan has arrived at the next city.
There is always a day difference between them and Zhou Yuan.
In this way, more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yuan rode a unicorn horse and walked out of Shenyang City, the largest city in northern Xinjiang.
This Shenyang City is also the last city to the north of Tianyun Kingdom.
Leaving Shenyang City and going further north, you will reach the vast Gobi Desert.
At a glance, you can see the vast sea of sand, the sky full of yellow mist, and the sky is so bare that there is no end in sight.
Here, there are few people, no living things, and the smell of death is everywhere.
Further north, there is no longer a city of Tianyun Kingdom. Without a city, it means that it is difficult to meet people again.
Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, has never been able to find any trace of his mother, which means that most of the clues he had obtained before have been lost.
Of course, the only unbroken clue is that the mother is probably further north.
But as we continued north, we left the Tianyun Kingdom and went to other countries.
There are seventeen countries in the entire territory of Qingzhou. The land is vast and boundless. If you want to continue searching, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this point, Zhou Yuan no longer had any hope of finding his mother.
At least for the time being, he will not look for his mother again, because her mother may be in a world further to the north. That kind of world is not a place that Zhou Yuan can currently reach. He needs more powerful strength.
The yellow mist ahead was hazy, and everywhere you looked, there was a sea of sand between heaven and earth, making it difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth.
Zhou Yuan rode a horned horse at a slow speed, watching flowers and flowers all the way, admiring this strange scene.
Not long after, two figures flew from the sky behind him.
The old man Xing Tianqi and the bearded middle-aged man Yun Anyang pursued all the way and finally caught up with Zhou Yuan.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan immediately flicked his sleeve, and a ball of blood mist flew out, turning into a snow shadow.
"Xueying, it's up to you." Zhou Yuan shouted.
Xue Ying roared, turned around and rushed towards Xing Tianqi and the others.
