124 Hiding in the fores (1/2)

”Young Brother, your Sky Xuan strength is indeed extraordinary, and I admit that I was mistaken, so please accept my apology for my earlier slip of tongue. A battle between two Sky Xuan experts will be very destructive for the society, but as your older Brother, I hope to meet you in the future again with the hope that we meet under more favorable circumstances. My intentions were pure all along, and I hope that this misunderstanding gets cleared in the time to come.”

The man quickly turned around and leaped. A blue light flashed and the man disappeared without a trace, rather than staying back to confront them. He didn't even look back as he bolted away from the duo.

Jun Wu Yi finally loosened up, and started sizing up Jun Mo Xie very carefully: ”Mo Xie, you've reached the Sky Xuan? How is this even possible?”

Jun Mo Xie revealed a sly smile and but didn't speak. He indicated that they needed to leave, and the two of them quickly left the scene. They kept running for a long while, and kept changing their attire on regular intervals, until they reached a small forest.

Jun Mo Xie suddenly stopped before approaching the woods, looked back and said: ”I think that we are still being followed by a few people, so we shouldn't be reckless…. Let's make our way home through this forest!”

Jun Wu Yi was astonished: [More trackers?] He had been keeping an eye on their backs as well, but hadn't discovered anything. He couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration clouding his heart.

They waited for a while, but didn't hear any sounds this time. Jun Mo Xie smiled and said: ”Well, I suppose we will have to take the forest route after all, but let's not leave any traces…”

Jun Wu Yi suddenly realized: ”Mo Xie, you managed to trick that man?”

Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes: ”Uncle, you thought that I had reached the peak of the Sky Xuan while even you are only at the base of the Sky Xuan? That man didn't know anything about me, and I used that to fool him with an old trick. He simply believed it since I was able to figure out that he was following us, that's all.”

”You made it look very realistic!” Jun Wu Yi smiled and shook his head: ”If I was in his shoes, then I'm afraid that even I wouldn't have been able to figure it out! And then coupled with Blue Light that you flashed… I too would have definitely scuttled the other way.”

”I didn't have a choice. This event could possibly turn into a major incident in the future, and if we're not careful, then this incident might end up hurting the entire Jun Family! That man was a Sky Xuan expert and I reckon that his strength was only marginally weaker to grandfather. Even though we could have beaten him, I'd say that it would have been very unwise to make enemies with such a powerful man!”

Jun Mo Xie quickly entered the forest and said: ”I estimate that the Huang Hua hall must be headed by a major power, and we must be very cautious. We mustn't disclose our identities unless we've already exterminated the enemy.”

Jun Wu Yi heard a slight sound, as if a few bodies had entered the forest, and turned around to take a look. Jun Mo Xie also paused for a second, but then stated: ”Uncle, pay attention to my movements, and try to keep up.”

Jun Wu Yi heard his words and wondered: [Does he have more secret methods?] But by this time Jun Wu Yi had gotten accustomed to being surprised by Jun Mo Xie, and started following his movements closely, while paying special attention to the route which they were taking. He didn't figure it out immediately, but soon started to realize Jun Mo Xie's genius:

Although Jun Mo Xie was walking at a very high speed, his body wasn't disturbing any of the forest's elements. His left hand was always in front of his body, while his right was stationed behind. Whenever he'd have to pass through branches of shrubs or trees, his left hand would gently brush aside the leaves and branches while his body would quickly advance through, and his tailing right hand would return the objects to its initial position. Not even a single dried leaf would fall as he would move through the forest, and since he was practically tip toeing his way through the thickets of the forest, he was practically leaving no traces at all!

Jun Mo Xie was so cautious that he hadn't even trampled on the bugs in the forest!

He'd place his steps very cautiously, and was even managing to conceal his figure behind the trees as he moved forward. One of his hands was always at a higher position, while the other was stationed at a lower altitude in order to maintain his balance, and it seemed that he was always ready attack or defend, if needed….

All these movements seemed very natural and seamless, but his pace was so fast that it was obvious that these movements were happening instinctively.

Simultaneously, he had even reduced his breathing to a minimum in order to minimize and eliminate his body's odor!

These set of actions were so advanced and well calculated… that practically no expert would ever be able to track him down in this forest!

Even when Jun Mo Xie stepped on a dried branch, his foot still wouldn't make a sound. Once Jun Mo Xie passed by a bird, which was in the middle of a song, and normally these birds are so sensitive to human presence that they stand interrupted and fly away, but Jun Mo Xie moved so stealthily that the bird didn't even notice him as he moved past it…..
