Soon after the three of us rushed into the woods, we deliberately dispersed in three directions and stopped hiding in the woods.
When Xie Jingwen and his men reached the edge of the woods, they also stopped, clenched their fists tightly but did not dare to take another step forward.
Everyone in the underworld knows that "Don't enter a forest, don't cross a river." I gave the other party the illusion that I was ambushing in the forest, so Xie Jingwen naturally didn't dare to enter the forest to pursue us, but he was unwilling to let us escape for nothing, so he was anxious and walked around the edge of the forest.
When I hid behind the tree and glanced at Jie Jingwen, Guo Huaxin also quietly emerged from his soul bag: "This forest is not suitable for an ambush. They must be bluffing. You just need to lead people to chase them in..."
"Shut up!" Xie Jingwen shouted angrily before she could finish, "What do you know? Wu Zhao is extremely cunning and has many treacherous schemes. He will never leave any loopholes easily. If we chase him, we will definitely be ambushed by him. If Xiaoying..."
Xie Jingwen also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking halfway and said, "Don't you know where the lair of those evildoers is? Take us there, I want to search them one by one, I don't believe that I can't find Wu Zhao."
Guo Huaxin said in a trembling voice: "Your hatred with Wu Zhao has nothing to do with those immortals."
"Bullshit!" Xie Jingwen shouted angrily, "Isn't it clear enough that Wu Zhao and the evildoers in the mountains colluded to kill the sorcerer of Xuanjingsi? What do you mean it has nothing to do with them? Take me to find him immediately!"
"But..." Guo Huaxin wanted to argue a little, but after seeing Jingwen's expression, she immediately changed the subject and said, "I have a way to make them come to me on their own initiative."
Guo Huaxin pointed at Heng Fei who was moving slowly in the distance and said, "That man is Wu Zhao's employer and the key for the immortals to find the heaven-defying technique. As long as we control him, Wu Zhao and his men will come to us sooner or later."
"Right, right, right... Why didn't I think of that?" Xie Jingwen slapped his thigh, "Come on, surround that guy."
The magicians of the Xuanjing Division immediately surrounded Hengfei. Xie Jingwen stood beside Hengfei with his hands behind his back and shouted, "Wu Zhao, your employer is in my hands now, how about coming out to meet him?"
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xie Jingwen simply used his inner strength to shout, "Wu Zhao, didn't you say that I would only accept people's protection? What are you doing now? Are you cowering behind those evildoers and trembling in fear?"
"Wu Zhao..."
The more Xie Jingwen cursed, the more excited he became. I leaned against a tree, lit a cigarette, and watched him jump up and down quietly. But at this moment, Old Lady Dong appeared behind me silently: "That damn girl Guo Huaxin actually betrayed us!"
I said calmly, "She probably doesn't know what you are going to do, right?"
"She probably doesn't know." Old Lady Dong hesitated, "She was the breeze that came later..."
When I was talking to Old Lady Dong, Xie Jingwen was already feeling a little bored, and his voice gradually became lower. However, Guo Huaxin said at this time: "You can't lure Wu Zhao out like this. He knows you won't kill anyone..."
Xie Jingwen's eyes lit up. "The mountain sorcerer Wu Zhao, who colluded with demons and destroyed the passage, is unforgivable and should be executed by slow slicing. His accomplices are guilty of the same crime. Come, execute him on the spot."
"Oh no!" I stood up from the tree trunk.
Ye Jin whispered, "Don't be hasty, let's see whether he is bluffing or serious."
While Ye Jin was speaking, several warlocks from the Xuan Jing Division had already controlled Heng Fei. They tore off his shirt in a few seconds, tied his hands behind his back, grabbed Heng Fei's hair and forced him to kneel face down on the ground.
Xie Jingwen pulled out a dagger and threw it to his men: "On the count of three, if Wu Zhao still doesn't show up, execute him immediately."
Damn it! With that strike from Xie Jingwen, regardless of whether or not Hengfei could be killed, my plan would be ruined.
I deliberately let Hengfei fall into Xie Jingwen's hands in order to delay time. As long as the wolf soul can find him in time, it will target Xie Jingwen. In that way, I can reap the benefits.
However, once Hengfei is awakened, I will be completely passive.
I was getting anxious when I heard Jie Jingwen raise his voice and say, "Wu Zhao, isn't this Heng your employer? Are you still a sorcerer if you watch your employer die in front of you?"
"What did you say about me? Afraid of death? Cowardly? If you're a man, you should fight openly with swords and guns? You, Wu Zhao, don't even have the courage, so how dare you attack me so brazenly!"
Xie Jingwen said sternly: "I will count to three. If you still don't show up, I will cut Heng alive piece by piece. I want to see if you still have the face to continue to mix in the art!"
"one… "
"Stop!" I knew I had to go out. "Jie Jingwen, since you know Heng Fei is just my employer, why do you still dare to kill him? Won't that violate the taboos of the art?"
Xie Jingwen sneered disdainfully: "You probably haven't heard of the phrase 'I have the truth'? You are just a lowly person in the art of magic, but I am the leader of the Pingyao Hall of Xuanjing Division. The difference in status alone means that you are destined to never have the truth, and everything I say is an ironclad fact."
Xie Jingwen fiddled with the dagger in his hand. "You are a rootless and low-level sorcerer. What right do you have to prove that I murdered someone and framed someone? Even if I let you go and let you shout about it to the world, who would believe you? I'm afraid nine out of ten sorcerers won't listen to what you have to say, right? Even if the remaining one does listen, he'll just be perfunctory."
Xie Jingwen pressed the dagger against Hengfei: "So, my words are the truth, and your words are all lies."
I said in a deep voice: "Is this your capital to take human life lightly?"
"Isn't this enough?" Xie Jingwen's knife tip slightly pierced Hengfei's left arm, and warm blood immediately flowed down his shoulder. Xie Jingwen used the knife tip to pick Hengfei's skin and said: "If you are willing to surrender now and go back to Xuan Jing Division for trial, perhaps Xuan Jing Division can give you a lighter sentence because you are not experienced in the world..."
While Xie Jingwen was speaking, several masters from the Xuan Jing Division had quietly come around behind me.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard a wolf howl in the distance. Jie Jingwen and I turned our heads and saw an old wolf crouching on the hillside.
Although the old wolf's fur was gray with age, its eyes appeared unusually deep; with its head slightly raised, it looked like a king ascending the throne, looking down at us with an air of contempt for everything.
Old Wolf! My first reaction was that the old wolf had appeared. Its aura was completely different from that of the immortals on the mountain, and it seemed to have a hint of divinity.
Xie Jingwen didn't take the old wolf seriously at all. He just glanced at it and ordered, "Stop playing tricks! Kill the wolf!"
“No!” Guo Huaxin’s face turned pale with fear. “It’s not a fairy from the mountain. It’s an old wolf. Don’t touch it!”
Although Guo Huaxin defected to Li Jingwen's side, she was ultimately just a Qingfeng fairy with shallow Taoism skills. From Li Jingwen on down, no one took her seriously and naturally would not listen to her orders.
Several sorcerers raised their crossbows without hesitation and shot at the old wolf on the mound. At the moment when more than ten cold rays of light covered the opponent at the same time, the old wolf, who was still standing still, suddenly showed a smile.
The next moment, the old wolf who had been sitting still suddenly disappeared without a trace. The crossbow arrow shot across the sky flew through the air in full view of everyone and pierced into a tree trunk in the distance.
"Where's the wolf?" Xie Jingwen exclaimed subconsciously, but I sneered and said, "Xie Jingwen, have you ever thought about why I deliberately left Hengfei behind? To tell you the truth, that wolf is Hengfei's ancestor. You want to kill his descendants, will he let you go easily? Just wait for death!"
As I was talking, the man had already started to slowly move back. Xie Jingwen said urgently, "Stop him!"
"Stop me?" I laughed. "To tell you the truth, that old wolf is best at possessing people. He might be possessing someone on my back right now. Wolves know how to take revenge, but they also know how to be grateful. I just stepped forward to save his grandson, so he owes me a favor and will definitely let me go."
I took two steps back again: "How about we make a bet? I will just step back like this. If your people dare to touch me, I will touch them. Do you believe it?"
Xie Jingwen shouted angrily: "Catch him! Don't listen to his alarmist words, catch him!"
Xie Jingwen was so angry that his voice was out of tune, but the two sorcerers behind me were hesitant and unwilling to take action. They also suspected that the other party was possessed by the old wolf, and they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would end up with a corpse lying on the deserted mountain.
The warlocks around Xie Jingwen didn't dare to move. The disappearance of the old wolf had obviously put a lot of pressure on them. They would not take risks easily when they didn't know when the wolf spirit would appear.
Seeing that I was still retreating, Xie Jingwen was furious: "Catch him! If you don't do it, you will be punished according to the hall rules!"
The two warlocks behind me were forced to rush over to me at the same time. I clearly heard the strong wind from the grappling hands hitting my shoulders, but I still looked at Xie Jingwen with a smile.
Just as Xie Jingwen's smile was about to rise, a scream came from behind me. As Xie Jingwen's face suddenly changed, I heard the sound of another body falling to the ground.
As I retreated repeatedly, a warlock with half of his body stained with blood slowly walked up to me and stuffed a bloody dagger into my hand.
I held the dagger in one hand and the man's shoulder with the other, then looked at Xie Jingwen and said, "What did I say? Some things don't disappear just because you want to deny them."
As I spoke, the dagger in my hand had already pierced between the man's ribs. The Mirror Warlock I held hostage only groaned and fell to the ground.
Xie Jingwen shouted: "Kill him, kill him!" (To be continued)
