Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng touched the Overlord in her backpack. Actually, if she used the Overlord's lines to explore, she might be able to find someone.

But since the domineering lines had already been shown to that long-haired man, if she were to be exposed to these people again, and if anyone leaked the information, she would be in a very passive position.

But the people still need to be saved. She squinted at the distance; the Overlord couldn't appear, but the Lines should be able to.

As for the lines, she looked at Jing San. If she could teach Jing San how to find people, that would be considered a skill of their sect.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so she called Jing San over.

Listening to Yu Meng's explanation, Jing San's head was spinning. His lines could find people underground? How? His lines didn't recognize people. Besides, they were so far away; how could he control them?

Yu Meng looked at him quietly. "Don't you want to learn?"

"Fourth Sister, I want to learn, I want to learn!" Niannian shouted loudly from the side.

Jing Ancheng timidly spoke up from the side, "I want to learn too."

Hearing both of them say they wanted to learn, Jing San quickly spoke up as well. "Teacher Yu, I want to learn, but I'm too slow, and I'm afraid I'll tire you out."

Yu Meng looked at the three people in front of her. "It's very simple, not difficult at all."

Niannian and Jingsan's lips twitched. What Fourth Sister's standard was not difficult was very difficult for them.

Jing Ancheng has not experienced this, so he will not offer his opinion.

Yu Meng first taught them how to recognize other people's breath.

Then I taught them the tricks of how to remotely control the lines.

After saying that, Yu Meng smiled and looked at them, "Isn't it easy?"

They remained silent, and Jing San and Jing Ancheng also kept their heads down.

Yu Meng waved her hand without any burden, "I've taught you the methods. As the pillars of the sect, you must learn these."

Jing San took a deep breath. "Yes, I promise I will learn it."

Yu Meng nodded. "Don't underestimate this method. If you were trapped underground right now, if you knew this method, you would be able to find the nearest exit. You wouldn't be trapped underground waiting for someone to rescue you."

Then, he casually added, "Waiting for someone else to rescue you is like handing your life over to someone else. Are you willing to do that?"

The three men instinctively shook their heads. What a joke! Who would willingly entrust their life to someone else?

While several people were practicing, Yu Meng was not idle either; her lines had already silently disappeared into the ground.

Although Hua Shulang always had his own ideas, causing her a lot of trouble, it hadn't reached the point where he needed to atone with his death. Therefore, she had to find out how much longer they could hold on. As for the suffering he endured, she would consider it a lesson for him.

She had made Secretary Wu explain things so clearly, but after he went back to Jingchuan, he actually left again.

Is it disdain for the sect, or contempt for her? We'll see what he chooses this time.

This is the third chance. If he refuses again, Yu Meng will no longer interfere in his affairs. Of course, she will also take back the communication bell.

Yu Meng lightly taps the ground with her right foot, and countless cracks silently open and close in the ground.

Because the communication bell can pinpoint location, it wasn't difficult for Yu Meng to find Hua Shulang's location.

She hadn't thought that lines could be used in this way before, so she felt that this was the biggest challenge.

But now, none of that matters.

When the lines found the sparse position of the flower, Yu Meng sensed many faint breaths.

The lines circled and circled in the darkness, and no one noticed their existence.

At first, Yu Meng planned to wait for Secretary Wu's people to arrive before taking action, but now it seems that she might not be able to wait that long.

Looking at the three people practicing there, Niannian was already showing promise, while Jing Ancheng's body was stiff, his fingers tentatively probing little by little, but the lines didn't move at all.

As for Jing San, he was a ruthless individual. His lines would sometimes plunge into the sand, and sometimes soar into the air in a gray blur. There were no fixed traces; he moved freely and unpredictably, like an unstable sphere.

Yu Meng moved her right foot slightly, then shouted, "Probe downwards along the crack in the ground."

Niannian and Jingsan worked together to sink the lines into the crack. After a long time, Niannian's lines emerged. "I didn't sense any human presence."

Jing San kept his eyes closed. His lines followed the cracks created by Yu Meng to the ground. When there were no more cracks, he did not retreat, but instead chose the softest spot and drilled a new tunnel.

Jing San's face was expressionless, but the rapid throbbing in his neck told him that he was not at ease.

"Alright, don't push yourself," Yu Meng said.

After a while, Jing San's lines broke through the sand.

Niannian asked him curiously, "Did you feel it?"

Jing San shook her head. "There's nothing there."

Yu Meng rolled her eyes slightly. "I just wanted you to experience it. How can you find someone before you've even learned it?"

"Fourth Sister, how about we practice above the designated spot?"

"Isn't this the place?" Yu Meng said helplessly. She couldn't possibly let them practice in a place where there was nothing at all!

Niannian covered her mouth shyly, "Then let's do it one more time, and then we'll break up."

Jing San nodded.

Yu Meng's communication bell vibrated. "I've sent Jing Er over, and the people on the battlefield will also go. In addition, Nangong also has some manpower, which will go if needed."

Yu Menghui replied with a single word: "Good."

She was somewhat moved. Nangong Tianshou was willing to expose some of his own people to save Hua Shulang. It seemed that this person was truly favored by everyone.

So the question is, how did he end up in this situation?

Yu Meng's first reaction was that he had seen something good, otherwise he wouldn't have taken this risk.

But then again, what kind of good thing could make him willing to take this risk?

My second thought was that he might have fallen accidentally while trying to save someone, or while being chased after getting something good. But that seemed highly unlikely. He was very familiar with the Fourth Battlefield; he shouldn't have made such a basic mistake.

Nian Nian's startled cry woke Yu Meng from her deep thoughts.

"Fourth Sister, I think I can sense someone."

Jing San slightly opened his eyes, then closed them again. He didn't feel anything!

Niannian excitedly walked to a spot, then drew a big circle around it, "Right here."

Yu Meng admired him; the position was absolutely correct.

But she didn't show it on her face. She glanced at Jing San, shook her head at Niannian, and gestured for her to wait.

Ten minutes passed before Jing San suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the circle Nian Nian had drawn. "The diameter should be about ten meters."

Niannian exclaimed happily, "Third Brother, you're in this position too, right!"

"Yes, but we can't dig in a straight line."

"Hey, we're heroes if we find the person. As for digging the hole, that's not our job." Since it was just the four of them, Niannian didn't have any reservations about what she was saying.

Then, her eyes lit up as she looked at Yu Meng, "Fourth Sister, what other special skills do you have? Teach us one more!"

Jing San and Jing Ancheng also looked at her.

"You guys only know how to do this, you're far from being proficient. Go over there and practice properly." Yu Meng immediately poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

She's really getting cocky. The cracks in the ground were all man-made, just to find someone quickly. She really thinks it's her own ability!
