116: Angry mother seeks revenge, Yang Yi takes refuge

Perhaps it was because of the pitch-black night and strong winds last night.

When they returned to search for clues again,

they indeed discovered some telltale signs.

They discovered that in front of a rocky mountain not far away,

there were traces of someone having trodden there.

An ordinary person would not have been able to see it at all.

But one Elder had very sharp eyes.

It did not know if it was a coincidence or unintentional,

but it discovered a few blades of grass that had been trampled.

Because the grass had been trampled to death,

it had already turned somewhat yellow under the scorching sun.

"Look, someone has passed through here."

"I suspect Yang Yi must be nearby."

A maidservant asked,

"Why are you so certain?"

The Elder laughed aloud,

and began to analyze quite smugly.

"The place where the Young Master fought Yang Yi is not far from here."

"At that time, there were several experts by the Young Master's side."

"Yang Yi's strength is certainly not bad."

"But to fight against so many experts,"

"it must have been injured."

"If it does not treat itself or hide in time,"

"it will definitely be discovered by our people."

"Therefore, it should not have gone far."

"It must be hiding nearby."

"Let us search carefully."

Everyone felt that what the Elder said made sense,

and they dispersed to search.

Two of the Elders walked and stopped,

and arrived in front of a rock crevice.

One of the Elders looked down,

frowned, and said:

"This place seems like it could hide someone."

The other Elder took a look,

shook its head, and sneered,

"Although this place could hide someone,"

"there is no one below."

"Even if it were hiding here,"

"I am afraid it has already left."

"Let us go look elsewhere."

The other Elder nodded,

and subsequently,

the two went elsewhere.

Below the rock crevice,

Yang Yi heard the conversation between the two Elders.

His heart skipped a beat.

He felt that this place might no longer be able to hide him.

I am afraid it won't be long

before this group of people comes down to check.

If they come down,

he will definitely be discovered by them.

But he cannot leave now,

he cannot leave.

The people above searched the entire stone mountain,

but they did not find Yang Yi.

Everyone sighed, gathering together,

reporting their results.

A maidservant said:

"There are many, many cracks in this stone mountain."

"Perhaps one could hide in the cracks."

"Do you think Yang Yi might be hiding under the rock crevices?"

"That's impossible."

"We have checked all the rock crevices we saw."

"There is no one inside."

"Did you go down to check?"

"What if there is a hiding place beneath the rock crevice?"

the maidservant asked.

The Elder who spoke just now stopped talking.

Although what she said made sense,

there are so many rock crevices on the stone mountain,

they could not check them one by one.

If they really wanted to check,

then when would they finish checking?

Moreover, the space inside the rock crevices is extremely narrow.

If Yang Yi were really hiding inside a rock crevice,

and they rashly went in to check,

they would likely be ambushed.

Once Yang Yi attacked,

the rock crevice is too narrow,

they would have no room to dodge.

It would be extremely dangerous.

After the Elder voiced its concerns,

everyone pooled their wisdom,

thinking about how they could, without taking risks,

find the person who might be hiding inside the rock crevices.

Jin Chanyue suddenly stood up,

and said coldly:

"Simple."

"With your strength, destroying the rock crevices should not be a problem."

"We will just destroy them one by one."

"If it is really hiding there, it will definitely appear."

The Elders looked at each other,

a bit dumbfounded.

This method is too simple,

too brutal.

There are many rock crevices on the stone mountain.

If they kept attacking like this,

they would likely exhaust their strength

before finding Yang Yi.

If Yang Yi attacked at that time,

how would they resist?

"I am afraid this is not appropriate."

"With so many rock crevices,"

"even if we exhausted our strength,"

"it is impossible to completely destroy all the rock crevices."

"Why don't you think of another way?"

Jin Chanyue's face darkened,

and she said impatiently:

"Attack these rock crevices while"

"thinking of other ways."

"We cannot delay for too long."

"I heard that Wang Xifeng and the others are about to negotiate with various forces."

"If we keep delaying like this,"

"I am afraid we won't be able to kill him."

The Elders had no choice,

and had to obey Jin Chanyue.

Although Jin Chanyue wanted to find Yang Yi as soon as possible,

she was not a fool.

She knew she could not let the Elders' strength be exhausted.

So she had the Elders form groups of two,

taking turns to attack the rock crevices.

After attacking for a while,

they would switch to another group.

Alternating like this

would allow the Elders room to rest,

and their strength would not be lost too much.

At the same time,

they thought of other ways.

Soon,

they thought of using fire attacks.

Some Elders found a large amount of firewood nearby,

threw the firewood into the rock crevices,

and then lit it.

Rolling thick smoke filled the rock crevices.

If someone was really here,

they would definitely be choked or heated out.

Yang Yi was hiding in the rock crevice,

and had already smelled the burning of the flames.

However, the smell was very faint.

Judging from the smell,

Yang Yi knew the enemy was still far away from him.

Moreover, he vaguely heard the sound of explosions.

Although he did not know what they were doing,

the sound of the explosions was quite far from him.

He was not worried.

Calculating from the source of the explosion sounds,

it should still take some time for them to reach him.

Yang Yi continued to close his eyes and rest,

accelerating his healing.

As the explosion sounds got closer and closer,

Yang Yi also became a bit impatient.

The sky gradually darkened.

Yang Yi slightly poked his head out,

looking at the sky.

He could vaguely see the sky in the distance glowing red,

lit up by the firelight.

The explosion sounds were closer.

Yang Yi's injuries had not fully recovered,

currently, he was only a little less than half recovered.

If he went out to fight the enemy in his current condition,

he would surely die.

He decided to endure a little longer.

However,

he could not wait until the enemy was right in front of him before rushing out.

In that case, he would not even have a chance to escape.

Fortunately, the enemy was still some distance away from him.

At the very least, he could hold out until dawn.

Jin Chanyue and the others above the rock crevice could not hold on much longer.

They had been searching the rock crevices for a whole day,

but there was simply no one there.

Although there was still a large area of rock crevices ahead,

in everyone's opinion,

it could not be such a coincidence

that Yang Yi was hiding in the rock crevices ahead,

and that Yang Yi was not hiding in the rock crevices they had already destroyed.

How could it be such a coincidence?

How could they be so unlucky?

Some Elders had already begun to complain.

"Are we overthinking this?"

"Perhaps Yang Yi is not hiding here at all."

"Look at these rock crevices, they are long and narrow."

"Hiding for a moment is fine,"

"but I am afraid no one can stand hiding for a day or two."

"A day has already passed."

"I think Yang Yi must be hiding elsewhere."

"We cannot waste our time here."

"Let us go look for him elsewhere."
