Free Web NovelChapter 626: Chapter 344: Heaven Forsakes, Earth Turns a Deaf Ear—Lady Broken Sword Faces Her Day
Li Xian inwardly cursed upon hearing: "He Wentian is indeed cunning and treacherous, but despite his disguise, he truly managed to govern the common people orderly, earning their affection. Since coming out of the tomb, I have heard no news of him, wonder how it was handled later."
The crowd began to gather towards a venue. It turned out today was February 7th, the celebration of Flying Dragon City, and the street scene was very lively with a steady stream of pedestrians.
Li Xian followed the crowd towards the celebration. After waiting for half an incense stick’s time, He Wentian appeared publicly and celebrated with the people, creating a very lively atmosphere. He Wentian was dressed in a red robe, his face full of smiles, constantly offering congratulatory words.
Li Xian concentrated and watched, seeing He Wentian completely unharmed, and felt puzzled: "Could it be that the Five Mountains Sword Sect would let He Wentian go like this? The Five Mountains Sword Alliance prides itself as a prestigious Sword Sect, but He Wentian captured their female members, deceived them several times secretly, and even led a heavy army for an encirclement. The Five Mountains Sword Alliance wouldn’t be so merciful as to pretend nothing happened."
Li Xian felt it strange: "Now that the Five Mountains Sword Sect has left the city, so be it... I should investigate. But if it truly is He Wentian, I am certainly not his match, I must hide my presence well. The lady is now bound, causing trouble would be truly difficult to manage." He kept highly vigilant, shrinking himself and hiding within the crowd. His eye power was extremely potent, locking onto He Wentian’s figure, and despite the disturbance from the crowd, he could always sense his movements.
He Wentian was as if bathed in the spring breeze, dealing with people and matters harmoniously and graciously, displaying a noble manner, stepping with a four-sided gait. City guards tightly protected him as he left. Li Xian found it difficult to get close, observing the surrounding buildings, discovering a towering ’Flying Dragon Tower’, very high with a wide view. Whilst keeping note of He Wentian, he slipped into Flying Dragon Tower, climbing to a higher place to observe using his eye power. freewebnoveℓ.com
Seeing He Wentian get on a sedan chair heading west of the city. Li Xian thought: "In the streets and alleys, there are many city guards patrolling. If I use my Lightweight Skill, I would immediately be detected. When exposed, it would be extremely unfavorable. I first noted his direction, predicted his location, secretly ran to nearby, then climbed a high place to scan and search. Doing so, I can both observe his movements and remain hidden myself."
He opened his Heavy Pupils, his eye power suddenly increased. Raising his eyebrows to watch, various details collided into his sight. In the city, the pedestrians were numerous and the carriages moved slowly, with a completely emerald green carriage, luxuriously adorned, being quite conspicuous. Li Xian predicted a location and arrived there ahead of time. Along the way, he performed the ’Vertical Cloud Hand’, taking away a Jianghu guest’s bamboo hat.
Arriving at the predicted location early, then climbed up a tall building, borrowing height to overlook the streets and alleys below. With strong Heavy Pupil eye powers, he could find He Wentian’s traces. He saw the carriage zigzagging, ultimately reaching a government office. He Wentian flicked his sleeve, got off the carriage, and the constables at the office quickly came to meet him.
Li Xian mused: "Could it be that this He Wentian is truly so diligent, coming late at night to handle civil affairs?" The Heavy Pupils perceived through the government office walls, to see a familiar figure, it was Han Qingxiao, once encountered in Jieyou Tower, making Li Xian feel extremely strange, unable to think through the reason for a while.
Observing a moment longer, Lin Aoshan came out of the government hall. He saw her smiling, walking lively, seeming unlike meeting a foe. He Wentian’s expression was grave, said a few low words to Han Qingxiao and Lin Aoshan. Lin Aoshan and Han Qingxiao’s expressions suddenly sank, glancing left and right, extremely vigilant.
Li Xian pondered: "Is it possible my covert watch, self-assuredly mistaken, has already been detected? The lady had this skill in the past, being very sensitive to gazes, He Wentian’s detection wouldn’t be surprising, though I hid far away, even if he noticed me, it would be difficult for him to do anything. However, He Wentian is extremely strange, logically speaking, knowing he is being tracked, he should dispatch city soldiers to search, not discuss with Han Qingxiao."
Han Qingxiao shouted across the void: "I am Han Qingxiao from the Celestial Patrol Bureau of the Great Wu Dynasty, senior tracking secretly lacks transparency and uprightness, if possible, please come out to meet!" As he spoke, Ethereal Immortal Sound was covertly exercised within his body. Mortal Clay Embryos cannot hear Ethereal Immortal Sound, this shout could only be heard by those with Martial Arts Cultivation.
