But... Where was Zhu Ziqiao now?
Currently, the Boundless Forest was occupied by the people of Dongzhou College. From time to time, the cultivator of Myriad Sword Sect would fly across the sky. Even the ferocious beasts in the forest were suppressed to the point that they did not dare to show their faces.
It was very difficult to hide in Boundless Forest without being discovered.
Qin Nan speculated that if he was in Zhu Ziqiao's shoes, he would not be hiding in the Boundless Forest either.
In that case, where would Zhu Ziqiao be?
Lin Cheng decided to explore further. Since Zhu Ziqiao had come here to retrieve the pill and the Spirit Stone, she might have left some traces behind.
However, after a day, Lin Cheng's expression turned ugly.
He discovered that not only the Boundless Forest, but also the path to the Yongan City and the Dongzhou College was also set up by the people of the Dongzhou College. Besides that, there were also clearly Cultivating Warriors roaming around, as if they were patrolling.
He immediately concluded that these people were not searching for him, but Zhu Ziqiao.
If this was the case here, then there was no need to mention about the Yongan City.
As the only city within a hundred mile radius, whether it was resupplying or resting, this was a necessary place to pass through. It was impossible for the people of Dongzhou College and Myriad Sword Sect to not think of this.
Lin Cheng concluded that they would definitely conduct a search in Yongan City, and Zhu Ziqiao wouldn't be able to stay there any longer.
"Little girl, where will you be?" Lin Cheng whispered.
Boundless Forest.
Several silhouettes flew across the sky and landed on the ground.
"Senior Brother Cheng, this is the place." Comely Youth's face turned pale and said nervously, "I met the four of them here. I asked them. One of them claimed to be an old friend of Elder Zuo Mu... "
Cheng Qinluo asked, "Which direction did he go?"
Being interrupted by Cheng Qinluo, Comely Youth was slightly stunned, but he did not dare to hesitate at all. He hurriedly pointed in a direction and said, "That direction. The four of them are wearing the uniform of the Dongzhou College's students. But I remember that person seems to be walking in a different direction from the other three... "
"Chase!"
Cheng Qinluo didn't wait for him to finish his words. He lifted him up once again and flew into the sky, speeding towards the direction that Comely Youth was pointing at.
Behind Cheng Qinluo, several cultivators from the Myriad Sword Sect followed closely behind. They were searching the forest below while secretly shaking their heads.
According to Comely Youth's instructions, not only did he easily believe that the man was an old friend of Elder Zuo Mu, he even gave the man his jade card. This was absolutely stupid!
Because of this, even if someone really found out that something was wrong, no one would dare to stop them after seeing the jade token of the Myriad Sword Sect.
Then, the bastard who was pretending to be an old friend of Elder Zuo Mu could go in any direction. This way, it wouldn't be easy to track him down.
Although Comely Youth, who relied on his dirty relationship to gain Cheng Qinluo's favor, was the only other person in the Boundless Forest who was a real cultivator, the Boundless Forest wasn't the backyard of the cultivator.
To these cultivators, although the Demonic Beast in the Boundless Forest didn't pose much of a threat to them, there were some top tier Demonic Beast that weren't easy to get along with.
Perhaps, those top tier Demonic Beast would be afraid of the experts of the Myriad Sword Sect. However, if they really angered these Demonic Beasts, it would be a piece of cake for them to swallow a few ordinary cultivators.
Other than that, there were also some unknown dangers in Boundless Forest. No one knew exactly how many Demonic Beasts there were, and what grade the strongest Demonic Beast was.
As the Prefecture Boundary was also an ancient battlefield, the Boundless Forest was equally dangerous to them.
Therefore, Cheng Qinluo could ignore it. However, the other cultivator in the Myriad Sword Sect were much more cautious when they were searching. The way they looked at Comely Youth became more and more unfriendly.
If this Little Brute wasn't so foolish as to trust his opponent and send a signal in time, they would have already obtained the Blue Fire. Why would they need to take such a risk in the Boundless Forest?
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group of people stopped once again.
"Looks like the person has already left Boundless Forest."
Their expressions were somewhat unsightly.
According to what Comely Youth said, that person was only a Chakra Stage Cultivating Warrior. If that man really was the one who killed the elder of Dongzhou College and stole the Blue Fire... Then, not only did they miss the Blue Fire, they had also lost a lot of face.
A cultivator pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, that person is only a student of Dongzhou College. He is just afraid of death. Moreover, I have coincidentally heard of Elder Zuo Mu's appearance, or perhaps I have seen his portrait. That's why he dared to pretend to be an old friend of his, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to leave Boundless Forest ahead of time. "
" That's true. After all, that man is just an ant at the Chakra Stage. Although that woman in Dongzhou College has a low Cultivation Level, she is still a cultivator. She is definitely not someone a mere Junior Cultivating Warrior can defeat. Thinking about it... That person isn't the person we are looking for."
"Let's split up and search. At the same time, inform the people waiting outside and tell them to pay more attention to the young man who left."
Cheng Qinluo then glared at Comely Youth and snorted. "You, continue to search the outer perimeter! If you see that person, arrest him immediately!"
At this moment, Comely Youth no longer had the arrogance he had when he was talking to the others. He hurriedly replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Cheng."
When the other cultivator saw this scene, many of them frowned slightly.
Cheng Qinluo asked his Male Pet to search the outer perimeter. On the surface, it seemed like he was reprimanding them. However, in reality, he was defending Male Pet. With Male Pet's weak strength, if there was no one to protect him in the depths of the forest, he could be torn to pieces by fierce beasts at any time.
Cheng Qinluo had made this Male Pet search in the outer perimeter clearly because he wanted him to stay in a safe area.
The few cultivators from the Myriad Sword Sect couldn't help but shake their heads. Cheng Qinluo was a young genius, if he focused on cultivating, he would have a bright future ahead of him. However, he was addicted to men, and it was hard for him to become a great man.
Comely Youth watched Cheng Qinluo and the others fly away with respect. He felt a little resentful. When Cheng Qinluo left, he didn't even look at him. This made him feel a sense of loss.
In his heart, he hated that young man who was about the same age as him even more. He remembered that young man who was only at the Second Level of Chakra Stage, and not only did he pretend to be an old friend of Elder Zuo Mu, he also remembered that young man. He even asked him to respectfully hand over the jade token. He really wished he could kill that man right now.
More importantly, it was because that young man had lied to him, and it was very likely that he would lose Cheng Qinluo's trust in him. This caused him to be shocked and angry at the same time.
"When I find you, I will definitely kill you!"
Zhu Ziqiao hid in the dense forest and restrained her aura as much as possible. Her eyes stared intently at the two figures in front of her.
They were two students from Dongzhou College. Zhu Ziqiao could see that they seemed to be chasing someone, which made her not dare to be careless.
Although she climbed up from Boundless Forbidden Land, no one should have seen her. But she could not guarantee that she had left some traces behind. With her current Cultivation Level, if she were to fall into the hands of the Dongzhou College, she would definitely face a miserable end.
"I wonder how the little thief is doing now."
Zhu Ziqiao couldn't help but think of Lin Cheng. She knew that Lin Cheng definitely hadn't left because he had promised her that he would stay in the Boundless Forest.
But now, the Boundless Forest was filled with people from the Dongzhou College and the cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect. If Lin Cheng encountered them, he would most likely be at a disadvantage.
She secretly decided that if Lin Cheng was injured by those people, or even killed by them, she would definitely destroy Dongzhou College in her life and become irreconcilable enemies with Myriad Sword Sect.
After the two figures had left, Zhu Ziqiao came out from her hiding place. She looked around and after confirming that there was no one nearby, she quietly left in another direction.
Zhu Ziqiao wanted to see if Lin Cheng had returned. Originally, she had arrived at the Yongan City, but she found that the city gates had been sealed. No matter who went in or out, they would be interrogated. She knew that she would not be able to enter the city.
Hence, Zhu Ziqiao returned to the edge of Boundless Forest and came to the place where Lin Cheng left the pill and Spirit Stone. She planned to wait for Lin Cheng to return.
She waited for a few days and then encountered people from Dongzhou College. Although she escaped ahead of time, she encountered an unknown ferocious beast, so she could only escape again.
After she got rid of it, she found that it was even harder to return to the original place. Because the search in Dongzhou College was obviously stronger, she could only try her best to avoid it.
Just like the two people she had encountered this time, if she had not been careful, she would have been discovered.0
Zhu Ziqiao was anxious. With such a strict search, she did not know if the little thief could escape.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Zhu Ziqiao's pupils suddenly shrunk as she subconsciously tightened her grip on the longsword in her hand. She suddenly turned her head and saw a young man with delicate features who appeared under a tree not far away. He was looking at her coldly.
Someone from the Myriad Sword Sect!
Zhu Ziqiao's heart skipped a beat. This Comely Youth was wearing the uniform of the Myriad Sword Sect. This man was a man from the Myriad Sword Sect.
He had been discovered!
The alertness and vigilance in Zhu Ziqiao's heart rose sharply, but she was exceptionally calm. She pretended to be at a loss as she asked, "Senior brother, you called me?"
Comely Youth's gaze was not friendly as he coldly asked, "You are from Dongzhou College?"
Zhu Ziqiao nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder what instructions senior brother has for me?"
Seeing Comely Youth slowly approaching, she clenched the sword in her hand tightly.
"With your Cultivation Level, you should not have appeared here." Comely Youth said coldly, "Can you explain it to me?"
"I came from the academy."
Zhu Ziqiao immediately said, "The elder took most of the students away. Now there is no one guarding the academy. Two days ago, a thief suddenly broke into the academy's pill Hall. He stole quite a number of pills, and the teacher specifically ordered me to report it to the elder."
"Is that so?"
Comely Youth sneered and said disdainfully, "You people from Dongzhou College are really useless. You can't even defend your home..."
He stared at Zhu Ziqiao with a lewd look in his eyes.
Just now, he had noticed Zhu Ziqiao's pretty face. That slightly immature and charming face made evil thoughts arise in his mind.
