Chapter 696 -696: Tracking Entry
Ji Yang was now at the third level of Qi Refining Practitioner, so his Divine Sense could cover at least three miles, and Dimanxi had no idea that Ji Yang had locked onto him as soon as he entered the mountain.
Dimanxi moved cautiously, occasionally looking around, fearful that Ji Yang and his companions might be following him.
After various probes, a smile appeared on Dimanxi’s lips, and he confirmed that he wasn’t being followed.
As the sky also started to darken, Dimanxi grew bolder and began to move more swiftly.
Ji Yang did not make any move, silently observing Dimanxi’s actions, curious about what he might do.
Soon, Dimanxi arrived at a spot with its back to the direction from which he had come.
Even if one were to shine a flashlight here, no one would be able to see what was happening.
Dimanxi began setting something up there.
At this point, Ji Yang also began to move, stealthily approaching the direction where Dimanxi was.
With Ji Yang’s current skills, he had no fear of being detected by the other party.
As the distance closed, Ji Yang saw that Dimanxi seemed to be arranging a Formation.
Clearly, Dimanxi was well-prepared, carrying a large bag from which he intermittently took out various items.
Moreover, Ji Yang noticed that this wasn’t Dimanxi’s first day doing this; he had already arranged some items in several hidden places, and today was probably his final setup.
It looks kid has received some ancient Hua Country heritage!
Ji Yang also knew that during those difficult years, a great deal of Hua Country’s essence had been taken by foreigners, even leading to a break in the transmission within Hua Country itself.
Thinking of these matters, Ji Yang was even more focused on observing Dimanxi’s methodology.
Two hours later, Dimanxi finally finished arranging all the items he had brought.
Looking at Dimanxi now, the young man’s face was flush with excitement, as if some significant event was about to happen.
After waiting a while and resting up, Dimanxi took out something and placed it there.
Then, something shocking even to Ji Yang occurred.
As soon as the item was set, the surrounding Spiritual Energy surged toward it as if drawn by a powerful force.
Dimanxi, however, did not make a move, just stood there watching.
With Ji Yang’s Divine Sense, he could feel a massive influx of Spiritual Energy into the center of the arrangement, then a beam of light flashed from that spot.
The beam, like a laser, struck a particular spot on the mountainside.
This was the first time Ji Yang had seen such astonishing methods, and he felt a sense of admiration for Dimanxi, who indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.
On the mountainside where the beam had struck, Ji Yang saw nothing special; it was just a cliff face, which even he had touched and found unremarkable.
But as the beam hit, the cliff face began to change.
With a thunderous sound, the cliff collapsed, revealing a large gateway.
Ji Yang was truly astonished; he had not expected such a thing.
Now, with excitement etched onto his face, Dimanxi shone his flashlight into the cavern and quickly dashed inside.
At this moment, Ji Yang could no longer hold back; with a swift motion, he too dashed inside.
Ji Yang was incredibly fast, entering as swiftly as the wind itself.
Dimanxi did not even notice Ji Yang’s entrance.
Ji Yang concealed himself in a spot.
Inside, although Dimanxi had a flashlight, he did not discover Ji Yang hidden in a secret spot right above him.
Dimanxi did not move, standing there and shining the flashlight all around, only proceeding further after making sure everything was clear.
Ji Yang was still worried about the stone door closing, but he saw no sign of it happening, which left him unsure of what had transpired.
Dimanxi entered further with great caution.
He tested the ground several times with every step he took, clearly unsure of what was ahead.
Initially, Ji Yang had intended to follow Dimanxi further in, but seeing his cautious behavior, Ji Yang realized that the kid only knew about the exterior and was not clear on the interior situation.
After a moment’s hesitation, Ji Yang moved quickly forward, striking the back of Dimanxi’s neck with a palm, knocking him out cold.
Looking at the fallen Dimanxi, Ji Yang did not bother to pick up his flashlight and instead scanned the surroundings.
With Ji Yang’s Divine Sense, it was relatively easy to explore many areas.
It was a downward passage, the destination of which was unknown.
Glancing back at Dimanxi, Ji Yang searched him and indeed found some books and the like.
Twisting Dimanxi’s neck, Ji Yang killed him.
Ji Yang had no fondness for foreigners, especially those with Hua Country’s heritage, and he was unaware of how many times they might have betrayed Hua Country’s people in secret.
After killing him, Ji Yang picked up the flashlight and then proceeded carefully inside.
Ji Yang was also curious about what was inside; he wanted to see what was there. This text is hosted at novel{f}ire.net
At first, Ji Yang was apprehensive about possible traps, but after scouting with his Divine Sense, he found that indeed there were arrangements, but perhaps due to the passage of time, many of the traps had lost their functionality.
Even for those still operational, Ji Yang swiftly disabled them.
