671 Three Souls Seven Bodies (2/2)

”Alright, let us leave quickly and not spoil some individual's plans. This fellow is truly a vengeful individual and may remember it for his entire life.” Someone stuck out her tongue mischievously and all the ladies scattered.

A series of laughter could be heard going further and further away. Only Ling Chen and Yu BingYan were left behind in the room. Both the two ladies were embarra.s.sed to the point they did not even know where to put their hands.

Ling Tian stuck his tongue out and grunted, ”Hmph, don't be happy too quickly. I will let all of you know this young n.o.ble's prowess someday.” He then looked at Ling Chen and Yu BingYan while chuckling, ”My two beauties, hehehe, it is now our turn. My clothes are completely drenched and I have to take them all off so I don't catch a cold.”

Ling Tian truly started taking off his clothes the moment he said those words!

The two ladies were exasperated.

Ling Tian's thick skin was truly unparalleled. Even after meeting with such an embarra.s.sing event, his l.u.s.t still wasn't quenched...

The two ladies clicked their tongues together and turned around. As though they suddenly thought of something, their faces began to burn.

Ling Tian burst out laughing and stood up. All of a sudden, the room turned dark and the candles were blown out. Following that, a soft squeal could be heard from the two ladies. As for what happened after...

Ling Jian's figure landed lightly on the tiles like a drifting leaf. Despite the night wind blowing, his black robes did not flutter the slightest bit in the wind.

At this moment, Ling Jian's figure seemed to have been melded together with the darkness. Even if someone walked past him, they may not notice that someone was hiding in the midst of this silent darkness.

Of course, it wouldn't be easy to walk past Ling Jian coincidentally because...

At this moment, Ling Jian was at the peak of the Smoky Thea Tower and it was the second highest point in Sky Bearing apart from the imperial palace. At the same time, the various envoys of the different places were also situated near the Smoky Thea Tower. Ling Jian's senses spread out like a huge net and nothing could escape his senses! This was the evidence that Ling Jian's cultivation had reached the peak of XianTian! At this moment, Ling Jian's cultivation wouldn't be too far away from Yu ManLou or the late Shui WuBo!

With young n.o.ble Ling purposely venting his anger on his subordinates, his subordinates could only try their best to gather evidence! It was a pity that they did not have any rewards! In truth, Ling Jian knew that even if they returned without finding anything when the deadline was up, young n.o.ble Ling would not do anything to them. However, they were not in the habit of disappointing Ling Tian and even if there wasn't any hope, they would work hard to the very end!

Since they did not have any hope, their best choice would be for them lay in wait! That was the best choice they had in their helplessness!

The moment the Yu or Xiao Family made any strange movements, Ling Jian would be able to arrange for men to follow them from the very first moment! With the special tracing medicine that they previously spread during the chaotic battle in the Smoky Thea Tower, they definitely had the chance to accurately follow everyone!

It was midnight and Ling Jian had already been standing straight without moving for a full four hours. However, he still had no reward!

Not too far away, the tower head of the Smoky Thea Tower, Gu XiYan was making some arrangements. Further away, Xiao FengYang had just returned and the sound of dissatisfaction from the Above Heavens elder could be heard.

There was also the sound of Yu ManTian bellowing with rage as he returned and the ten experts cursing under their breaths. All of these had entered Ling Jian's ears as he carefully scrutinized what he heard.

While he was too far away and couldn't hear the words clearly, this mysterious feeling made Ling Jian feel as though he held the entire world in his hands.

Is this the realm of minute subtleties which young n.o.ble mentioned? I have actually entered into such a mysterious realm?

It was deep in the night.

Yu ManTian's deafening snores could be heard.

Ling Jian could not help but chuckle to himself. This old friend of theirs was truly free of worries. To think that he is actually able to sleep so soundly in the territory of the Yu Family's biggest enemy. Ling Jian was truly in admiration! Even if a volcano were to erupt, this Third Master Yu will probably be still sleeping soundly.

All of a sudden, alarm bells rang in Ling Jian's mind. Gathering his attention, he cleared his head to focus.

Two ghostly like figures shot out from the Yu Family's courtyard. After exchanging a glance in the darkness, their figures disappeared into the darkness.

Ling Jian's senses were immediately locked onto the two and he used his divine sense to 'see' the two of them suspiciously going once around the Smoky Thea Tower before returning to their courtyard. Following that, a long period of silence followed.

However, Ling Jian could clearly sense that there were no less than ten powerful divine senses spreading out and performing a carpet search of the surrounding hundred feet. The three souls and seven bodies of the Yu Family were obviously attempting to test the defenses of the surroundings.

Ling Jian sneered in his heart. Before he came out, Ling Jian had already made the arrangements to withdraw all the spies in the surroundings and replaced them with members from his First Pavilion. Any ordinary spy would not have any use in the face of a XianTian expert and their only use would be to alert the enemies.

In a flash, the ten figures appeared on the top of the roof before splitting apart into ten directions and disappearing into the darkness.

Ling Jian remained rooted to his spot and did not make a single move while he praised in his heart, The three souls and seven bodies are truly wily old foxes. After sending out two individuals to put up an act and scout out the place, they still used a deception tactic before leaving for their true objective! They are truly extremely cautious!

However, the more careful they were, the larger their ambitions and target!

Just when Ling Jian was about to give chase, he felt that something was amiss again!

It turned out that a black figure suddenly returned like a shooting star and landed on the peak of the Smoky Thea Tower. He was only a mere ten feet away from Ling Jian's hiding place! This black figure was one of the ten who had just left!

This black figure stood atop the tower and looked around without making a move!

To think that he was actually careful to such an extent!

However, if he was standing there, how could Ling Jian make a move? Even with Ling Jian's martial arts, it was impossible for him to make a move without being detected at this distance!

Now what?!

Ling Jian cursed in his heart. While he would definitely be able to take the figure in front of him down in a single move, that would inevitably alert his enemies. But if he did not get rid of the figure before him and give chase, wouldn't it ruin his plans?

Of the ten who went out, one returned and there were another nine who needed to be chased! If they ended up missing the true target because of this, Ling Jian would definitely regret it greatly!

Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard a soft 'kacha' sound from about a hundred feet away. That was the direction where Ling Chi was at!

The black robed figure at the top of the roof also heard the sound and charged over immediately. Before that black figure even landed on the ground, he had already unsheathed his sword as though he was facing a powerful enemy!

A soft meow could be heard and a black cat jumped out from the corner of the alley. That black figure spat out a mouthful of spit and cursed under his breath.

At this moment, Ling Jian was already 200 feet away! In the world today, Ling Jian's movement techniques were definitely ranked among the top five!

This black cat that jumped out from the alley was naturally thrown out by Ling Chi.

Ling Chi, Ling Feng, Ling Yun and the rest stood silently as Ling Jian's figure flashed past them. Without stopping, Ling Jian gave a few hand signals to them. The few of them immediately understood what Ling Jian meant and melded into the darkness.

On top of the Smoky Thea Tower, the black figure was still looking around carefully with his sword gleaming in the moonlight. However, he did not know that he had already brushed past the most frightening asura. Had Ling Chi's black cat appeared a moment later, Ling Jian would have definitely taken his life in an instant.

A single move was sufficient!
