Chapter 152 Are there any masters?
Chi Yunzi, accompanied by his two disciples, was slowly walking towards the official road.
"Master, we've already arrested so many people, why haven't we retreated yet?"
On the way, one of the apprentices asked curiously.
"trade."
Chi Yunzi spoke slowly, his face expressionless.
"trade?"
The apprentice was confused.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yunzi suddenly stopped and turned to look at his disciple beside him.
"The resources within the temple have reached the point of depletion, leaving us no choice but to take a risk."
"The reason we came to Baihe City to hunt this time is because someone contacted the temple and was willing to provide information on caravans leaving the city."
The apprentice was puzzled upon hearing this.
"This sounds like ill intent, Master!"
"We have no other choice."
Chi Yunzi said something indifferently, and then continued walking forward.
His two disciples behind him glanced left and right, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. But they knew Chi Yunzi's temper, so they had no choice but to follow him forward.
The edge of the dense forest on the other side.
Ding Yi watched the three figures gradually disappear from sight, feeling somewhat puzzled.
I thought this place would be a stronghold of external evil spirits, but I didn't expect that only two or three people would come out.
In this way, even if there are still people hiding in the dense forest, their numbers won't be too large.
However, something is better than nothing. Ding Yi gestured towards Wang Lin, who immediately understood and let out a bird call. Then, everyone climbed down from the tree and gathered together.
"Get everything ready. Once the person returns, proceed according to plan!"
Ding Yi looked at everyone and gave instructions in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Although everyone agreed, their expressions naturally varied as they were facing a shaman.
Ding Yi saw all of this but didn't say anything. Instead, he took the lead and walked towards the front of the dense forest.
The rest of the group naturally dispersed as agreed, like a large net, waiting for the fish to enter.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps echoed through the dense forest.
The footsteps were heavy, clearly indicating that someone was carrying a heavy object. Ding Yi, who was hiding in the treetops, saw the Wai Sha hiding in the dense forest for the first time.
An old man with his hair tied up, leading two young men, each carrying two stiff-bodied people, walked into the jungle.
Ding Yi looked at the old Taoist's attire and felt that it was somewhat familiar, but now was not the time to make a sudden move. He had no choice but to suppress his restless heart and continue to lie low.
The three Taoist priests seemed unaware of the ambush around them, and led the group forward, disappearing into the dense forest in no time.
At that moment, the gang members who had been lying in ambush all around emerged from their hiding place.
Three skilled trackers continued the pursuit, following the footprints in the forest, while the rest remained outside to provide backup and guard the exit to prevent any escapees.
As for Ding Yi, he naturally followed behind the three skilled trackers.
All he wanted to know at that moment was how many external evil spirits were hidden inside—ten? Twenty? Or a hundred?
As Ding Yi pondered this, he followed his men forward. Soon, he noticed white smoke appearing all around him.
"Is this the miasma?"
Ding Yi frowned, then took out an antidote pill and swallowed it. His expression remained normal as he continued the pursuit with the others.
But as the distance increased, more and more miasma began to appear, and eventually the miasma in the surrounding area became so thick that it was almost like a white fog.
The visibility began to be greatly reduced by the white miasma. Just as Ding Yi was hesitating whether to stop, he suddenly heard the coded signal from the person following him ahead.
Ding Yi hurriedly walked forward and found that his three subordinates had gathered together. When they saw Ding Yi, they quickly pointed to a small, arched mound in front of them.
“Elephant Lord, your footsteps suddenly disappeared here.”
"There must be a mechanism involved."
His subordinate pointed to the small mound and said.
"Could it be that they deliberately lured us here?"
Ding Yi frowned.
"Probably not. There were indeed signs that they split up and walked backwards on the road, but we noticed them all."
"In the end, the three of us tracked them all here, so it shouldn't be a mistake."
one person said.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately nodded.
"Let's keep an eye on things here."
Ding Yi suddenly said.
"??"
The three of them were taken aback, somewhat confused.
“Elephant Lord, the place has been discovered. We just need to mark it and go back. The rest can be left to the Inspectorate.”
Someone said cautiously.
"I don't need you to teach me. Now you just need to listen to me, understand?"
Ding Yi smiled slightly, looked at the person who spoke, and slowly said.
At this moment, Ding Yi was wearing a human skin mask. His fierce face, coupled with his murderous tone, made the three men tremble.
With no other option, the three exchanged glances and dispersed, their eyes fixed on the small mound.
After a while, a figure suddenly emerged from in front of the small mound; it was a young Taoist priest with a sallow complexion.
The young Taoist priest seemed unaware of the people watching him from all sides, and hurriedly walked towards the edge of the forest.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi chuckled and gestured to someone not far away. The person immediately understood and secretly followed the young Taoist priest.
Ding Yi followed at a leisurely pace, keeping a distance behind.
Leave professional tasks to professionals; he just needs to follow them.
This eliminates the risk of exposure while achieving the goal of tracking, which is the best of both worlds!
Soon, the young Taoist priest walked along the mountain path to the edge of the dense forest, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
This made the two people following behind hold their breath, thinking that the young Taoist priest had noticed something was wrong.
But soon they discovered that the young Taoist priest had taken off his clothes on the spot and started tearing off his hair and face. Even more exaggeratedly, his figure began to shrink, and finally he transformed into the image of an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Damn, there's another expert?!"
Ding Yi thought his human skin mask was already outrageous, but he never expected that someone could disguise themselves to this extent.
However, Ding Yi didn't hesitate any longer. He suddenly sprang up and covered several meters in an instant, pouncing on the man who was putting on his clothes like a tiger.
Hearing the strong wind rushing past his ears, the man was clearly taken aback, but as he turned around, Ding Yi snapped his limbs in a series of flicks with his fingers.
Ding Yi did not stop when he saw the man fall. Instead, he reached out and pinched the man's chin, dislocating it and preventing the man from committing suicide by poisoning or biting his tongue.
This combo took only a breath; it was so fast that the man fell down the moment he turned around.
At this moment, Ding Yi looked down at the man like a devil, and said with a smile:
"Let me see what big fish I've caught!"
