Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 328 - 140: Simple and Brutal (Part 3)

Sss—

Xiaohei roared, suddenly burrowing into the dense forest full of thorns.

Dozens of arrows swooshed towards it, hitting its back but only leaving shallow scratches, causing minimal harm.

"Quick, notify the young master, we’ve found that Ink Fox!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Soon, a signal firework shot into the sky, exploding above the woods.

Their strength was insufficient; even if they spotted Xiaohei’s tracks, they couldn’t catch it and could only use signal flares to notify nearby warriors.

Doing this poses a problem: when the signal flare is sent up, competitors will also see it.

"Haha, finally found it, not far from us."

"Chan, Wang, it’s up to you to handle that Ink Fox."

Lu Junyu glanced at the two middle-aged men beside him who looked very similar and said with a smile.

Leng Chan and Leng Wang were twin brothers with strong skills, already reaching the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

As twins, they had a great synergy, and their combined strength was formidable.

"Yes, young master."

Leng Chan and Leng Wang acknowledged, moved their feet, and disappeared into the dense forest.

They were incredibly fast, stepping on the dry yellow leaves without making a sound, vanishing into the woods in the blink of an eye.

"Let’s go, we’ll follow them."

"Hehe, once I catch this Ink Fox, Tang Ziqiu and Ji Qiming will each have to agree to one of my conditions."

"Then..."

Lu Junyu chuckled, already planning what he wanted Tang Ziqiu and Ji Qiming to do.

Not only Lu Junyu saw the signal.

Everyone nearby searching also saw it and rushed towards the location.

Some were curious, wanting to join in the excitement.

Some were powerful, wanting to take advantage of the chaos.

Including Tang Ziqiu, Ji Qiming, and their followers, as well as Lu Junyu, the three had placed bets on the Ink Fox to see who would catch it first.

The loser would have to help the winner with one task.

...

In Wuling City.

On the street outside the Jade Tea House at the city center.

Liang Yunhui watched the pedestrians come and go, her face full of anxiety.

It’s the second day now; she doesn’t know how Xiaohei is doing, whether it was caught.

"Maybe we shouldn’t wait anymore, perhaps Mr. Zhao was just passing by that day."

"Besides, he likely often leaves the city to check on Xiaohei, you don’t need to worry too much."

Liang Yuhan spoke, seeing her daughter’s anxious expression.

After learning Xiaohei was at Celestial Blade Peak, she paid attention to news from there.

She learned that in mid-June, a terrifying sword intent appeared above Celestial Blade Peak, emanating a daunting pressure like heavenly might.

Recently, many powerful Martial Artists gathered there; Xiaohei might have already been caught.

"No, let’s wait a bit longer."

"Maybe if we wait longer, we’ll run into Mr. Zhao."

Liang Yunhui shook her head, speaking determinedly.

She blinked her eyes, carefully observing the passing crowd.

More than half an hour passed...

Over an hour passed...

Two more hours passed...

No one appeared in sight.

Suddenly.

Liang Yunhui’s eyes lit up.

She saw a figure very similar to Mr. Zhao’s back; not only did the back look alike, but even the walking posture and aura were identical.

"Mr. Zhao!"

"Mr. Zhao!"

Liang Yunhui jumped up, excitedly running towards the figure.

Sitting nearby, Liang Yuhan heard her daughter’s voice of excitement, showing an expression of surprise.

’She actually found him!’ Liang Yuhan was somewhat amazed.

She stood up, following her daughter as they walked towards the man whose back resembled Zhao Hao’s.

Lin Zheyu, having finished enhancing with Source Power, took a rest before heading out to purchase herbs.

The modified Qianyuan Skill was too painful to cultivate; he needed a break, to take a stroll and relax.

"Huh, Yun Hui’s voice?"

Lin Zheyu’s expression changed, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.

His current appearance only vaguely resembled Zhao Hao from before; could she really recognize him?

"Mr. Zhao, finally found... uh... you’re not Mr. Zhao?"

Liang Yunhui rushed in front of Lin Zheyu, gasping heavily. However, upon seeing Lin Zheyu’s face, she couldn’t help but pause.

The person before her wasn’t her familiar Uncle Zhao.

"Who are you?"

"Is there something you need from me?"

Lin Zheyu pinched his voice, pretending not to recognize her, and asked curiously.

"I’m really sorry, I mistook you for someone else." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Liang Yunhui apologized, her face showing disappointment and anxiety.

Lin Zheyu looked on, full of doubt.

What’s up with this girl, seems like something urgent?

He glanced at Liang Yuhan who was a step slower, the latter was examining him somewhat suspiciously.

"Haha, just kidding, I am indeed Zhao Hao."

"Go ahead, what do you need from me?"

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Liang Yunhui’s expression was very anxious, clearly she had urgent matters; they probably had been waiting here for a long time.

Lin Zheyu was curious how they knew he would pass by here.

Could it be they saw him last time when he was returning from buying medicine?

"Are you really Mr. Zhao?"

Liang Yunhui stopped her pace, turning around suspiciously.

She scrutinized Lin Zheyu’s face, though similar in some ways, on closer inspection it was quite different.

"Um, wait a moment."

Lin Zheyu said.

He turned around and entered a deserted alley, rubbing his face with his hands, subtly adjusting his facial muscles to revert to his previous Zhao Hao appearance.

Seeing Lin Zheyu emerge from the alley transformed to look like Zhao Hao, Liang Yunhui’s eyes brightened suddenly, showing an expression of delight.

"Mr. Zhao, finally found you!"

"Quickly, save Xiaohei, it’s been discovered and trapped on Celestial Blade Peak, extremely dangerous."

Liang Yunhui said anxiously.

Celestial Blade Peak?

Xiaohei?

Lin Zheyu was slightly stunned; he clearly instructed Xiaohei not to wander, and yet that little creature has gone to Celestial Blade Peak?

Lin Zheyu had heard of Celestial Blade Peak.

Every mid-June, a terrifying sword intent appears above it, attracting many Martial Artists.

If Xiaohei indeed went there, then it’s dangerous.

"Thanks for letting me know, I must take my leave first."

"If you’re still here by noon two days later, I’ll meet you at the Jade Tea House."

Lin Zheyu nodded towards Liang Yuhan as he spoke, darting quickly towards the city outskirts.

He’s in dire need of silver taels now and needs Xiaohei to help lead the way in hunting fierce beasts; he can’t let it be caught like this.
