Ji Yuan could float far away at an extremely fast speed just by lightly touching some roofs.
Except for the moment when Yan Fei leaped, the rest of the time he was running wildly on the roof. Although his steps were light, his speed was never as fast as Ji Yuan, so he could not catch up.
Fortunately, no matter how far away Yuanqi Inn was, it was only in this small Nandao County. Accountant Yuan had already reached the roof of a house next to the inn, and Yan Fei barely caught up with him.
There was also a clear difference in the way the two landed. Ji Yuan landed on the tiles without making any sound, and Yan Fei's lightness skills were also very good, but there was still a little noise.
"Mr. Ji, what happened..."
Ji Yuan didn't turn around, but raised his hand to stop Yan Fei from saying the next words. With his magical eyes, he could see a faint evil aura lingering in the inn opposite, and he could also smell a bloody smell.
"There is a demonic aura ahead. Master Yan has outstanding martial arts skills, but if you fight against a demon, you may not be able to get away with it. Don't be impatient."
"Demon spirit?"
Yan Fei saw that Ji Yuan was speaking seriously and was slightly frightened. Naturally, he thought of the ferocious tiger he had encountered that year.
He asked himself that even with his current martial arts skills, he might not have much chance of winning against the tiger demon. He could only say that he would not be as embarrassed as he was back then.
Hearing Yan Fei's slightly surprised words, Ji Yuan nodded tiredly.
"The monster has left. Let's go into the inn and take a look."
After saying that, Ji Yuan jumped off the roof first and walked towards the Yuanqi Inn. After Yan Fei came to his senses, he hurriedly followed.
Inside the inn, when Ji Yuan and Yan Fei walked in, there was not even anyone guarding the counter. However, the people nearby seemed accustomed to the woman's screams in Yuanqi Inn at this time, so no one noticed anything unusual in such a short time. In addition, there might be no guests visiting, so the inside seemed deserted.
"Mr. Ji, be careful, it shouldn't be so quiet here!"
Yan Fei has changed the angle of his sword grip. There is something wrong with the atmosphere here.
Ji Yuan said "hmm" lightly and walked upstairs first. Yan Fei was stunned again and hurried to follow. After scanning the counter before going upstairs, he found that the shopkeeper was lying on the ground behind the counter.
Yuanqi Inn was the kind of inn with a corridor in the middle and rooms on the left and right sides. When he reached the second floor of the inn, Ji Yuan walked quickly and purposefully towards the right side at the bottom of the corridor.
He reached out and pushed lightly, and the door, which had no latch, was pushed open.
With a slight twitch of his nose and a glance, Ji Yuan fixed his eyes on something that looked like a strand of dark brown long hair on the ground. He picked it up and saw that it was about the length of his forearm.
"How can an ordinary monster leave hair behind casually?"
Ji Yuan frowned and thought, even Hu Yun would not shed his hair casually. Lu Shanjun would only shed his hair after practicing for a certain period of time. The hair in his hand looked particularly strange, and it was not just one strand, but a wisp.
At this moment, Yan Fei held the hilt of the sword in one hand and the scabbard in the other, ready to draw the sword at any time. He used the tip of the scabbard to quietly push open all the rooms in the corridor, and came to Ji Yuan after a while.
"Mr. Ji, everyone in the room has fainted, and the third floor has not been checked yet."
"No need to look at it, it's all the same."
Ji Yuan looked at the thing in his palm and answered casually. Yan Fei was also attracted by the thing in Ji Yuan's hand.
"What's wrong with this hair?"
"To be precise, this is a strand of hair, not ordinary human hair."
Ji Yuan glanced at Yan Fei and counted with his fingers as he spoke.
"I'll go after him and take a look. Master Yan, you can report to the police first, or take care of the unconscious person in the inn."
"Ah? Chase? Where to chase?"
But before Yan Fei could get an answer, Ji Yuan had already opened the window in the room and jumped out with a kick.
When Yan Fei rushed to the window and looked out, after searching for a while, he did not see Ji Yuan on the nearby streets and rooftops. He raised his head and looked far away, and just when it was almost out of sight, he saw a small figure rapidly moving away in the northeast direction.
"No way... so fast?"
He looked at the situation in the inn behind him.
"Report to the authorities? What use is there for the authorities in this damn place?"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Fei had already jumped out of the window, stepped on the roof of the house opposite for more than ten steps, then leaped up and flew towards the northeast.
Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful his movements were, Ji Yuan had completely disappeared from his sight in just a moment, and he could only follow in the right direction.
To the northeast of Nandao County, Ji Yuan jumped out of the city wall and used the Dragon-swimming technique to move quickly.
After leaving the city, the demonic aura was still relatively weak, but he could sense that it had only been there for a short time. He did not blindly chase after it, but instead accelerated suddenly at a suitable distance.
He used a simple method of controlling the wind, combined with the intention of swimming like a dragon, and it seemed as if he was carrying a gust of wind and moving quickly.
“Woo… Woo…”
The slight whistling of the wind carried a small amount of dead leaves, but because Ji Yuan himself was a pure body, not much dust and the like was raised. It was as if the breeze carried his body and turned it into a lightless shadow, which soon moved further ahead.
A breeze swept past a rocky hill in the northeast of Nandao County. Ji Yuan was already standing there, looking far to the southwest. He was finally able to make out a "smoke-like" evil aura approaching, but he did not see any "human figure".
After opening his Dharma Eyes a little wider, he could finally see the source of the "smoke". There was a blurry figure like rippling water, and it looked like one person was carrying another person while running.
'A trick?'
He can maintain his human form, perform sleight of hand tricks and move quickly, and he shows little demonic aura. He must be a powerful monster. I originally thought he was just a minor evil, but now it seems that he will be a bit tricky to deal with if he doesn't use his trump card.
After Ji Yuan thought about it, he pretended to be calm and sat down on a stone with his eyes slightly closed. It seemed that he was resting his eyes, but in fact he was paying attention to the movements.
In such a desolate place, a gentleman in a white robe sitting alone on a stone hill looked unusual, but this was only the case for ordinary people. For the approaching monsters, they would not care about a guy who was obviously a mortal, not to mention that they could not possibly see him.
When the blurry shadows got closer and closer and finally reached the stone hill, Ji Yuan opened his eyes and looked towards the monster in front of him on the left, and his gaze followed the other's movement trajectory.
This strange thing was naturally seen by the monster. When carrying the person forward, he would inevitably look at the other party. When this eye contact occurred and his sight met the pair of pale eyes, the monster suddenly realized that the other party could see him.
At such a close distance, with Ji Yuan's Dharma Eyes fully opened, he could clearly see the condensed demonic energy of the other party, which turned out to be a cow with long curved horns.
"Bull demons are not common."
Just these simple words made the monster that was about to rush over the stone hill stop in its tracks. It turned out that the other party not only saw through the magic, but also saw through his true form
I clearly wanted to continue running, but stopping was a subconscious reaction. Once I stopped, I wanted to figure things out.
Ji Yuan's expression was calm, he didn't move, he just turned his head to look at the man who looked neither strong nor sturdy, but more like a farmer.
"Who exactly are you? Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
The man asked Ji Yuan in a solemn voice.
Ji Yuan didn't speak immediately. He looked him up and down before answering the question.
"Your little trick of enchanting the eyes is fine, but there are almost no ghosts or gods here. What are you hiding from? Are you just an ordinary citizen? Who is the woman you are carrying?"
"Aren't there still people like you?"
The Bull Demon naturally wouldn't say what he was thinking, but spoke in a cold voice.
"You look like a cultivator? Why, you want to subdue demons and monsters?"
Having said that, the Bull Demon also became secretly alert. This man appeared on this stone hill inexplicably. The key point is that even at this moment, he still couldn't see any special traces on the other party. He looked just like an ordinary person. This was obviously impossible.
Ji Yuan still did not answer the Bull Demon's words, and once again answered his question irrelevantly, but this time there was a strand of hair on his hand.
"This isn't a cow's hair, is it? Why is it in Yuanqi Inn? I'm very curious, I just want an answer!"
When Ji Yuan took out the strand of hair, the bull demon's pupils shrank slightly, and he even looked around subconsciously.
"You! Have you been to that inn in the city just now?"
