195: Chapter 195 Xu Changsheng? Huang Shaotian

These few people had bought this Loose Cultivator mission to escort the storage cart at a discounted price from a Loose Cultivator, so they had no idea about the escort destinations of other missions.

Fortunately, the Sect's Disciples were well-arranged and had already tracked all the Flying Cars leaving the city in various directions.

He began to put himself in Xu Changsheng's shoes and think from his perspective.

The spies the Sect had planted in the Immortal City already knew the reason why Xu Changsheng had issued so many missions.

It turned out that Huang Jinglong, this fellow, was afraid of being sought for revenge by their Sect, so he expelled him and limited it to only one day.

He silently gave Xu Changsheng a thumbs up for his actions.

As expected of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who could toy with the Young Sect Master, an ace assassin, he indeed had some brains, but only some, which was not enough for him to escape his pursuit.

This 'Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell' move had the meaning of an open scheme, attracting all the scouts outside the Immortal City by openly exposing his whereabouts.

Then, he secretly moved to another location, nobody knows where.

Liu Fuqi believed that Xu Changsheng was most likely not among the people his Disciples were currently tracking.

Either he was still in Yellow Ox Immortal City.

Or he was in some convoy that wasn't tracked by the Thousand-Mile Shadow Tracking Plate, or he was simply another person.

The chances were fifty-fifty.

However, he wasn't concerned; his strategies for the two possibilities were not implemented at the same time.

If Xu Changsheng was still in Yellow Ox Immortal City at this moment, he would definitely choose to leave the city at Midnight, otherwise, Huang Jinglong would personally apprehend Xu Changsheng without him even needing to act.

As a Golden Core Cultivator himself, he knew the extent of control a fellow Immortal Master of the same rank had over a city.

For Xu Changsheng to hide his name in the Immortal City under his City-protecting Formation, he would need concealment abilities like the Young Sect Master.

But even Gu Lingye's powerful invisibility technique was detected by Huang Jinglong, so it was even more impossible for Xu Changsheng. He would definitely have to leave the city, and probably right under Huang Jinglong's nose.

In any case, Liu Fuqi only needed to arrange a small number of people to continue monitoring the Cultivators entering and exiting the Immortal City.

What he needed to focus on now were all the Cultivators who had left the city since the mission was issued. If he were Xu Changsheng, choosing this path would be safer.

Unfortunately, Xiong Meng, who was planted by the Ghost Shadow Sect in the Immortal City's Guard Department, was exposed. Their Demonic Path currently couldn't accurately know the situation of Cultivators leaving the Immortal City.

However, a few small fry below could generally obtain a list without names, only cultivation level, physique, and gender.

He filtered it, selected the targets, and began to arrange for his subordinates to busy themselves with the search.

He himself continued to pursue the targets appearing on the Thousand-Mile Shadow Tracking Plate, not ruling out the possibility that Xu Changsheng had put himself in the trap and was truly among them.

...

Several hours later.

Liu Fuqi looked at the two trembling Foundation Establishment Cultivators kneeling before him, his slender brows furrowed.

After more than half a day of searching, they had found nothing.

They had searched all the mission locations and hadn't found Xu Changsheng. In fact, at some locations, there weren't even any Cultivators, as if these Cultivators who accepted the missions had already received news of the Demonic Path's actions.

At this time.

The sky had darkened, dark clouds pressed down on the city, and the moon was nowhere to be seen.

The South City Gate of Yellow Ox Immortal City slowly closed, and the entire city was about to enter a state of curfew.

Suddenly.

A black flying boat shot out with a 'whoosh' just as the gate was about to close, instantly disappearing into the dense night.

This scene was keenly captured by the Demonic Path's scouts hidden outside the city, who immediately sent this intelligence to Liu Fuqi.

At the same time, they didn't forget to flatter him: "Junior Martial Uncle is truly wise, otherwise, Xu Changsheng might have really slipped past us."

Liu Fuqi received this message, his brows furrowed together, not showing a happy expression.

It was simply too smooth. He had only considered this possibility, never expecting it to actually happen in the end.

His originally calm heart also felt a slight murmur, unsure if it was truly Xu Changsheng.

However, he quickly made a decision: whether it was Xu Changsheng or not, anyone who could leave the city at this time was definitely not an ordinary person!

He quickly flew in the direction indicated by the message.

...

It didn't take much time, just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, to catch up to the Flying Car.

A vast Divine Sense surged forth, striking the Flying Car.

Feeling two Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the Flying Car, and sensing a familiar aura, his heart filled with joy.

Immediately, he did the same.

His figure moved.

The next moment.

He directly blocked the Flying Car's path, flicking a copper coin from his fingertip, which transformed into a man-sized copper coin, spanning the Flying Car's route.

"Boom!"

There was no time to stop the Flying Car; it crashed into the giant copper coin and instantly shattered into pieces.

A male and a female Cultivator were ejected from the Flying Car, their figures retreating sharply.

"Trying to escape?"

His voice deepened, and he followed closely.

However, when he saw the two people who had flown out, he was momentarily stunned.

"Huang Shaotian? How is it you!"

The people in the carriage were none other than Huang Shaotian and Chu Linger, both Disciples of Huang Jinglong whom he knew. The former was even Huang Jinglong's biological son.

After a brief moment of distraction, his calm face suddenly showed a hint of bloodlust: "Hmph, since you two have been caught by Liu, don't even think about escaping!"

However, at this moment.

A pressure not his own descended from the sky.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi became chaotic, and runes appeared out of thin air, rotating and merging to form a grand Heaven and Earth Formation.

Liu Fuqi looked around, his brows furrowed: "Huang Jinglong, you went to such great lengths just to ambush me here?"

Huang Jinglong's strong figure descended from the sky: "Fellow Daoist Liu thinks too much. This old man didn't target Fellow Daoist; it's just that Fellow Daoist walked into the trap himself."

"Walked into the trap? Huang Jinglong, stop being so hypocritical. Do you think I can't see through the trap you and that Xu Changsheng set together?"

With that said.

He made a quick calculation with his fingers, and his feet had already shifted half a step to the left.

The next moment, a golden Flying Sword flew past his ear.

"Hmm?"

A surprised sound came from behind, and Jin Chuan's figure emerged from the hidden night, catching the Flying Sword that flew back.

He didn't understand how his surprise attack could have been dodged so skillfully by Liu Fuqi.

The latter's eyes darted around. Now, the opponents were two against one, and one of them was a Golden Core Great Perfection Immortal Master.

"It's not advisable to prolong the fight."

He shook the copper bell at his waist, and a piercing bell sound exploded in the night sky.

Chu Linger and Huang Shaotian only felt a buzzing in their heads and their vision went black. When they recovered, Liu Fuqi's shadow was no longer in the sky.

However.

The converging Formation patterns in the sky suddenly shook, and a transparent figure was bounced back, looking in astonishment at the solid Formation wall before him.

His brows furrowed deeply. The Formation Huang Jinglong had set up was unexpectedly strong; it really couldn't be breached in a short time.

"This is bad."

In his dirty sleeve, he fumbled with a silver copper coin. He had to stall for a short while.

He turned to Huang Jinglong: "Immortal Master Huang, we merely have the same goal, why must we fight to the death here?"
