New and dark light years

Chapter 206 Finally Discovered

At dawn, there weren't many people on the street, the light was dim, and there seemed to be a thin mist in the air.

A group of people emerged from the mist, with soldiers at the front holding signs that read "Silence" and "Avoidance," accompanied by the sound of gongs and chants.

This mode of transportation is called 'Lubu'.

This is an ancient ritual that was originally reserved for emperors. However, as time and dynasties progressed, this ritual was devolved and became known as the "small imperial procession."

Officials of the third rank and above, as well as princes, can now also use it.

However, the scale naturally shrinks considerably, with three hundred people being the limit and around one hundred people being quite normal.

But no matter how small the scale, those who can travel in the form of a "lubu" are definitely important people.

Seeing such a large group, not only would ordinary people feel like they'd seen a ghost, but even martial arts practitioners wouldn't want to get close.

Zhou Qingqing sat in the paper sedan chair, looking through the window at the guards and maids surrounding her, and at the envious glances that occasionally fell from afar. She sighed softly and said:

"For an ordinary woman, this is the most glorious and triumphant moment in her life. It's just a pity that it's fake."

The woman's eyes were brimming with tears, her face showing both longing and disappointment.

Li Lin didn't respond... because it wasn't his responsibility.

If Huang Qing and Hong Luan had said this, he would have considered for a while whether it was feasible. But Zhou Qingqing saying this... had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Qingqing subconsciously glanced at Li Lin, and seeing his indifferent expression, she lost all interest in him and simply stroked her son's head.

Meanwhile, Ji Feng and An Xin have already made contact.

The two were standing on the roof of the tallest inn in the city, looking around and chatting casually.

"I didn't expect your Tianyi Sect to be interested in this kind of news." Ji Feng smiled, though his face was still somewhat pale.

An Xin looked around and said, "I had never been in contact with this before, so naturally I didn't believe it and had no interest in it. Now that I've been in contact with it, I'll just leave it at that."

"You've come into contact with immortals?"

"No, I just came into contact with a family of cultivators."

"The Ding family?"

An Xin laughed and said, "To be honest, the Ding family is very ordinary. Everyone knows that they have been trying to cultivate immortality for hundreds of years, but who really thinks highly of them?"

Ji Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because Anxin was telling the truth.

The Ding family is indeed a century-old family, but the problem is... they haven't really accomplished anything.

The most famous thing is actually the dual cultivation technique!
Then there are the fans of the Imperial Realm, and finally, the self-proclaimed "cultivation" label they carry.

After laughing, Ji Feng asked again, "Then who were the cultivators you came into contact with?"

"The Li family."

Ji Feng was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Which Li family?"

"The Li family related to cultivation of immortality, or which one!"

Ji Feng couldn't help but gasp: "No way, didn't the Li family of Jin County disappear decades ago?"

"Even a centipede with a hundred legs will not fall down when it dies, let alone such a large family, there will always be a legacy to be passed down."

Ji Feng nodded slightly.

Their Qingcheng Sect isn't exactly a major sect, but it has a history of two or three hundred years. Moreover, a truly great clan wouldn't perish so quickly.

"How was your experience interacting with the Li family?"

An Xin pondered for a moment and said, "I can only say that he truly deserves the title of a young master of a noble family, as he was once one of the three great families."

"The evaluation is so high?"

"Once you meet him and get to know him for a while, you'll understand that he's truly extraordinary."

Ji Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Speaking of extraordinary young people, I have seen one in the past few days. He is truly..."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard a strange sound coming from afar.

When important people travel, ordinary people should avoid them.

Then came the clanging sound of a gong.

The two looked over.

Two streets away, a procession could be seen moving forward in the dim light, with wisps of smoke rising from it. "Is there some important person out so early?" An Xin looked at them incredulously. "Is today some special day?"

Ji Feng also shook his head: "I don't know."

The two looked at it for a while before looking away.

The common people don't fight with officials... and people from the martial arts world don't like to fight with officials either, especially a group that obviously acts like a high-ranking official. It's hard to guarantee that there aren't people hiding nearby protecting the noble person in the sedan chair.

The group continued forward, heading towards the city gate.

They paused briefly at the city gate before going outside.

At this moment, An Xin turned his head back and looked at the place where the entourage had disappeared. He felt that something was wrong.

I just can't tell.

Ji Feng was the same.

They remained on the rooftop, waiting for their own people to continue searching Yuecheng.

The time soon came to noon.

They still couldn't find the 'court beauty' and her only son in the city.

An Xin glanced at the blazing sun overhead and said, "It's already noon. How about we go get a bowl of vegetarian noodles? It's on me."

"Plain noodles?"

"Add another plate of poached chicken."

"Row."

Just as the two were about to come down from the roof, a young man dressed in Tianyi Sect attire jumped down.

"Senior Brother, have we made a new discovery?"

"Have you found that courtesan?" Anxin asked.

The young man shook his head: "No, it was my junior sister who discovered some clues."

"what?"

The man opened his hand, revealing a piece of white paper with strange patterns on it and some bluish-gray stains.

"what is this?"

The young man said, "Junior Sister said these are fragments left behind by the paper figure?"

"Correct!"

The junior sister of Tianyi Sect has learned thunder magic and has now entered the realm of paper-making. She is considered a highly valued inner disciple of Tianyi Sect.

Paper doll fragments?

An Xin asked, "Where was it found?"

"That street over there," the young man pointed ahead.

Ok?
At this moment, both An Xin and Ji Feng felt that something was wrong.

The young man continued, "Moreover, in the early morning, my junior sister smelled the scent of burning talismans and headed straight out of the city."

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck An Xin.

"Small ceremonial regalia!"

An Xin and Ji Feng shouted at the same time.

"Chase!"

An Xin said, "Go and inform everyone to immediately head west towards the city. I will leave a mark on the road so you can catch up quickly."

At this moment, Ji Feng flipped off the inn, crossed the hall, and returned to his room, saying, "Wife, immediately notify all the disciples, and then head west. Once the target is spotted, I will go after them first."

"it is good!"

After saying that, Ji Feng went down the stairs and came to the hall, but here he slowed down and acted as usual.

Only after walking several dozen feet from the inn did they begin to use the Lightness Technique to travel quickly.

Even so, many other martial arts figures quietly followed him.
