Chapter 111 Zhao Xiaoyu (2/2)

The weird-browed man nodded, but he did not leave.

Shen Lian asked, ”What more do you want?”

The weird-browed man asked in a curious manner, ”Are you letting me go just like that?”

”Do you wish that I would kill you out of anger?” Shen Lian laughed and lifted his hand as if he was going to do something.

The weird-browed man stepped back instinctively and said, ”Why shouldn’t you? That was what I was thinking before.”

”Are you not afraid of death?” Shen Lian asked.

The weird-browed man said, ”I am not.” He was not trying to act tough, but he never had the thought of being afraid of death.

Shen Lian put down his hand, and said, ”Well if you’re not afraid of death, why should I kill you? You can go.”

Shen Lian believed him and went into the clinic.

Since Shen Lian applied spiritual pressure on the weird-browed man, he realized while this man expressed fear, but he was not affected by it. He was also indeed, not afraid of death. Survival was every living being’s instinct, but it seemed that there were other instincts in his body which replaced the one for survival.

It was the first time for him to encounter such situation.

There were many cultivator families other than Qing Xuan. There were other good families which had crazy tricks that Shen Lian could never imagine. It seemed that there were some mysteries still within Shendu City.

Shen Lian filled the basin up with clean water. He threw a paper rune inside and the water reflected someone’s silhouette. It was shaking for a bit, but it looked like the weird-browed man and he was circling in the city.

The moment when the weird-browed man was hit, Shen Lian had planted his spiritual consciousness in him. Later, he used the talisman to follow him from afar. Although he was not a part of the land immortals, he could still see up to a perimeter of a thousand miles. Nothing escaped his eyes. If one reached the level of Daoist Master or Buddha, just by using the mental perception, nothing would be left out, up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Underworlds.

It was the first time he used this trick and it seemed the effect was decent. The only concern was that the image was a bit blurry and the quality was bad.

Looking at the basin filled with water and the image inside it, Shen Lian remembered how in his past life, this was something like a surveillance camera.

Ruoxi was squatting at the side and watching the image. She found it to be rather amusing. She was much smarter than any average kids. She did not put her hand into the water, nor asked a lot of questions.

Lastly, an image of a mysterious lady appeared. Her face was covered by a thin veil. She suddenly appeared in front of the man with staged eyebrows. She swung her arm and the image disappeared. There was only the talisman left in the water.

Shen Lian frowned as he felt that he heard this, ”You will be able to see me tonight, why are you so nervous?”

It was indeed impressive that she could detect his tricks.

The moon was beautiful at night and there were little stars scattering around in the sky. It was softly lit. There was a bright moon in the middle of the lake, and it matched well with the lanterns around.

There was a Hua Fang in the lake; sounds of singing, and the melodies from musical instruments.

Some fishes in the lake too occasionally surfaced to swallow the little sprinkles floating on the surface.

A small boat came out from the Hua Fang, and stopped somewhere.夜叉探海 － A move in martial arts.
