Chapter 217: Identity Suspicion, Communication with Nie Ling
Obviously, he recognized those clothes. They were from the Sword Pavilion.
His eyes turned cold. Then, he waved his hand and a scarf appeared in his hand. Then, he wrapped the scarf around his neck and covered half of his face. Then, he slowly walked toward the teleportation node.
Soon, he arrived in front of the dark teleportation array and was stopped by the disciples of the Sword Pavilion.
Then, a proud voice was heard and stopped him. “Fellow Daoist, can you stop for a moment?”
As soon as he finished his words, a disciple of the Sword Pavilion slowly walked up to him and asked in a faint voice.
“Fellow Daoist, the Sword Pavilion of the Central Plains is looking for a person. Can I reveal your true appearance?”
Hearing this, his gaze turned cold as he stared mercilessly at the disciple of the Sword Pavilion. The might of a person above the mid foundation establishment stage was slowly being emitted.
He snorted coldly before speaking in a low and cold voice.
“Hmph, the Sword Pavilion of the Central Plains! You’re really daring. When did you stretch your hand so far?”
The disciple of the Sword Pavilion who had stepped forward felt a chill down his back and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
The Sword Pavilion disciple before him was only at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm. Su Yi’s aura was still a huge pressure to him.
As for the Sword Pavilion disciple, he felt a pressure that was as huge as a mountain. He knew that things were not looking good. He had never thought that he would meet someone with such a cultivation level.
Immediately, the Sword Pavilion disciple’s thoughts became active. Although he already had some suspicions in his heart, he dared to say it when faced with Su Yi’s aura?
Instantly, the Sword Pavilion disciple had a flash of inspiration. At the moment, it was still important to protect their lives. Moreover, the mission given to them by the Sword Pavilion was not to fight against such an expert.
The Sword Pavilion disciple immediately changed into a smile and said respectfully, “this Young Master, this humble one has eyes but failed to recognize an important figure. Please go ahead.”
As he said this, the Sword Pavilion disciple made a gesture of inviting him. His foul face was filled with a smile of apology, which made people feel disgusted.
“Humph!”
Su Yi coldly snorted and did not say anything else. He directly passed through them, but the power on his body did not decrease. Then, he walked into the node of the teleportation array.
He immediately chose the teleportation point of the Central Plains City. The node of the teleportation array slowly operated, and a streak of light streaked across the sky and quickly left.
The Sword Pavilion disciple, who was originally full of apologetic smiles, instantly turned cold and immediately said to the other disciples of the Sword Pavilion.
“Send a message back. There’s a suspicious character entering the Central Plains.”
“Yes!”
…
Before long, Su Yi’s figure appeared within a large teleportation array in the Central Plains.
His gaze swept the surroundings before his body moved, transforming into an afterimage as he left the array.
When he experienced the teleportation node, he knew that it was inevitable for him to reveal his identity. Since the other party had sent out those Sword Pavilion disciple, they were naturally prepared.
Even if he killed them, it would be useless. If only he could use the Heart Sword Technique now, he could guarantee that he would kill every single one of them, not giving the other party the chance to rebuild their mortal bodies.
Naturally, his tracks had already been discovered. In that case, it would be very easy to find out that he had already teleported back to Central Plains City. He still could not stay here for long.
When he thought of this, his body moved and he headed towards a small alley. He needed to return to his resting place and enter seclusion to raise his strength. Perhaps he would only have the strength to fight against those old foundation establishment monsters after reaching the late stage of the foundation establishment stage.
He did not forget just how many old monsters he had provoked.
Suddenly, he suddenly turned his head and looked at a corner as he cried out in a low voice.
“Who is it?”
One could see his brows slightly knit. A frightening possibility had occurred to him in his heart. Could it be that the Sword Pavilion had moved so quickly and had actually found his tracks so quickly?
However, who knew that the one who appeared in his eyes was actually a beautiful figure.
This beautiful figure’s pair of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at him as her pair of jade-like lips lightly opened.
“Long time no see. Could it be that Daoist Su has forgotten about me?”
The person who had come was Nie Ling. A few days ago, he had learned through Nie Longxiang that Su Yi had followed the city lord to explore the mutated Demon Subduing Mountain range. The day before, she had also learned through certain channels that the Sword Pavilion was currently arresting Su Yi, with her intelligence, she must have thought of something.
Hence, she had been staying near the teleportation formation for the past two days to quietly observe.
As expected, after waiting for half a day, a familiar figure appeared in her eyes. After which, she followed.
“Fellow Daoist Nie, why are you here?”
He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Nie Ling and asked faintly.
Nie Ling was still Nie Ling. The unfamiliar Nie Ling’s aura seemed to have undergone some changes. It seemed to have become much more fierce.
Could it be that something had happened to her during this period of time?
She smiled faintly and said, “fellow Daoist Su, this isn’t a place to talk. Please follow me.”
Hearing this, he nodded and followed Nie Ling to a mansion.
This mansion did not have any plaques or signs, and even its appearance was extremely simple. It seemed extremely ordinary in the bustling Central Plains City.
Then, under Nie Ling’s lead, he entered the mansion. The heavy doors slowly closed, and no one knew that a guest would be seated in the mansion today.
Soon, Nie Ling accompanied him through the courtyard and arrived at a building in the backyard.
The two of them sat down one after the other, and Nie Ling slowly opened her mouth to speak.
“Fellow Daoist Su, the Sword Pavilion has mobilized their forces to arrest you. What exactly happened? Have you been well for the past few days?”
Her eyes were filled with worry as she asked in a somewhat worried manner.
Su Yi revealed a faint smile when he heard this. After which, he replied, “it’s nothing serious. I merely snatched their things and teased them for a while.”
“They wouldn’t use their forces to hunt you down, would they? Right now, the entire Central Plains is the eyes of the Sword Pavilion and the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. At the same time, many forces from the great desolate region have entered the Central Plains. This…”
She did not know what to say. Although she wanted to help Su Yi, she could not do so. Since he had returned to the Central Plains, she could only provide him with a relatively hidden place.
As for the Nie family, she learned from her father that the elders of the family wanted to extricate themselves from this matter. It was obvious how much pressure the forces that were chasing Su Yi had exerted.
Especially the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. They knew that Su Yi had an affair with the Nie family, and they had been keeping an eye on the Nie family’s movements.
Even the various branches of the central plains, the Nie family’s residence in the Central Plains City, had their eyes and ears.
Regarding this, Su Yi could only smile awkwardly. To be honest, he really did not want to involve the Nie family in this matter.
This was because the power that he had entangled with this time was extremely powerful. It was simply not something the Nie family could deal with. Even the city lord of the Central Plains City might not be able to protect him, so the only one he could rely on now was himself.
The place where Nie Ling had arranged for him to settle down was sufficiently secretive, and it was not easy for the spies to detect it. It should be able to buy him another month or two.
Within a month or two, with the existence of the Jade Lotus of Destiny, it would be enough for him to break through to the late stage of the foundation establishment realm. At that time, even if he was not able to face those old monsters head-on, he should still have the ability to protect himself.
After asking Nie Ling for some medicinal pills, she left the mansion. As the eldest daughter of the Nie family, she could not disappear among those spies for too long, lest she become suspicious.
After Nie Ling left, he came to the cultivation room of the mansion. His gaze looked at the horizon that was gradually setting, and his eyes gradually became resolute.
“Sword Pavilion, I won’t let you have it easy this time.”
