Chapter 611: The Hunt
Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Liu Shi Shi and said, "Get those guards who would like to go to get ready.
"But if they are all willing or unwilling, get the strongest among them to go instead.
"Let Xue Cong the others know that I’ll be checking on the factories and shops."
Xue Cong and the others were helping to manage the servants in the mansion so they weren’t around at the moment.
Liu Shi Shi gave out a sigh and nodded at him.
"Zhi Yong, help keep everyone safe in the mansion while they are away." Lin Xuan Qi turned around and said to Zhi Yong.
"Master Lin, me make safe." Zhi Yong thumped his chest and said.
There would be a flurry of things to be done in the mansion but they were used to it by now.
"Come with me, Master Lee." Lin Xuan Qi said to Lee He Song and he led him to the lab.
Once they got inside the lab, he took out a bunch of talismans and the Emerald Bamboo Shoot to him.
"Use these when you need to.
"But use the Emerald Bamboo Shoot only as a last resort.
"It might drain all your Five-Element Qi.
"Try to keep the guards safe as much as possible.
"These Qing Feng Sect disciples are up to no good and they are most likely planning to use the guards as bait."
Lee He Song took the talismans and the Emerald Bamboo Shoot from him, and said, "Don’t worry, I will keep them safe."
"I wouldn’t be too far away from you under the cover of the invisibility talisman." Lin Xuan Qi said and shrugged his shoulders, "I’ve got to hunt for the soul of my Natal Puppet Artifact."
"Hope we can be back in time for dinner." Lee He Song patted on the scabbard of his sword and chuckled.
"I hope so too."
Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song were used to it by now and they weren’t too anxious about what would happen next.
They got out of the lab and went their separate ways.
Lin Xuan Qi used his invisibility talisman and got out of the mansion without anyone noticing.
Lee He Song waited at the gate for the guards to be dispatched to the squad.
It wasn’t too long of a wait.
All of them wanted to go as most of them were eager for some excitement after being in their mundane routine for so long.
Liu Shi Shi selected the strongest among the guards to be on the squad as instructed by Lin Xuan Qi instead.
And with that, they headed for the city gates together with Lee He Song.
...
At the gates there were many other men and women from the other clans and families.
Most of them were cultivators while only a small group of them were martial arts fighters like the guards from Lin Xuan Qi’s Clan.
The cultivators looked at them and shook their heads.
And when they saw an old man like Lee He Song without any Spirit Qi in him, they figured that the guards and Lee He Song wouldn’t last too long out there.
"Where are you from? Come over here and register." One of the Qing Feng Sect disciples who were seated at a makeshift counter, shouted at Lee He Song and the guards.
Lee He Song and the guards walked over to the counter.
"We are from the Lin Clan." Lee He Song said and the Qing Feng Sect disciple counted the number of guards that was sent.
"Only twenty?" The Qing Feng Sect disciple frowned and asked when he was done.
"Yes, we don’t have many men that can fight. We are all martial arts fighters anyway..." Lee He Song replied and the Qing Feng Sect disciple rolled his eyes at Lee He Song.
"Then, wait over there to move out." He pointed at the direction where the many other men and women were gathered around.
Lee He Song nodded and brought the guards over to be with the others.
Over there, he heard a familiar voice.
"Master Lee, stay close to us later." Sima Ye came over to him and said.
Lee He Song cupped his hands at Sima Ye and replied, "Thanks, but I don’t think that they would be giving you an easy time later.
"I will try to keep them safe."
To him, it would be more dangerous to be with the men from Sima Family right now.
It was best for him and the guards to stay away even though Sima Ye had good intentions.
Sima Ye gave out a sigh and said, "I guess it might be for the best.
"But do be aware that the cultivators from the north are much more ruthless and they fight with a tenacity that might be foreign to us."
Their opponents weren’t solely the Qing Feng Sect disciples.
There were also the cultivators from the north to be wary of, and the best that Sima Ye could do, was to help give the information he knew about them to Lee He Song.
Lee He Song took note of what Sima Ye had said.
But he was excited for it.
It has been a while for him to pursue the Heavenly Dao and he wouldn’t mind to have a battle or two with the cultivators from the north.
Whoosh.
Several figures flew overhead and they hovered in front of Lee He Song and the others.
Xiao Feng who had his hands behind his back, looked down onto the crowd below him, his lips couldn’t help but curl up a little.
He stopped himself and said, "Get to the mountains as soon as possible, the safety of Hong Feng City depends on you, and I hope all of you would give it your best to do so."
The crowd turned silent with everyone of them having their own thoughts.
Sima Ye and the Sima Family had their own ways to deal with the Qing Feng Sect and the cultivators from the north.
The men and women from the other clans and families were thinking about coming back safely.
It was the same for Lee He Song and the guards.
And Lin Xuan Qi who wasn’t too far away, unseen by the others, had his own objective.
The hunt was about to begin for him.
