The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1252 - 1220: Jungle Pursuit

But she has committed murder and has already used these secret techniques to create chaos.

Just now, Huo Yingjie roughly sensed that Xu Weiwei, who dared to use the Gu Insect on his granduncle, would likely do the same to others.

Naturally, Huo Yingjie had no reason to let Xu Weiwei go; this time, Xu Weiwei was undoubtedly doomed.

When Huo Yingjie arrived at Heiyu Village, he found that several cultivators had also come to Heiyu Village.

However, these people could not see the invisible Huo Yingjie, but from their conversation, Huo Yingjie still picked up some information. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Senior brother, that witch has harmed so many people; we must catch her, then we can gain merits in the Nine Departments," one young man said to a middle-aged man ahead.

The middle-aged man laughed, "Naturally! We’ve mobilized so many people this time, if we can’t catch that witch, we’d have no face to go back. More than a dozen key officials in Nanhu Province have been bewitched with Gu Insects; this is a major issue!"

"Yes, even someone from the Huo Family is among them," replied a young Daoist priest. "Should we lend a hand? After all, the Huo Family is in its prime!"

"Of course, we should help. The Huo Family is a family of good people, and doing good deeds for such people also accumulates virtue," said the middle-aged Daoist priest. "Huo Zheqian truly lives up to the reputation of his great family, tenaciously spirited, and even after being controlled by the Gu Insect, he still retains a hint of consciousness. Although it’s only for a little while each day, it’s still quite remarkable. Previously, he sent his wife Song Chunli away, probably she has already returned to Yanjing, safe, and at the same time has informed the Huo Family members."

"Brother, but Song Chunli doesn’t know that her husband is in trouble," the young Daoist priest was confused; even if Song Chunli went back, she wouldn’t be able to notify the Huo Family.

"Hehe," the middle-aged Daoist priest chuckled and continued to explain, "Even if Song Chunli is unaware of the specifics, the Huo Family would still send someone over, so after we catch this witch, incidentally, we would have rescued Huo Zheqian as well."

Hearing the middle-aged and young Daoist priest’s response, Huo Yingjie laughed.

Such cultivators are indeed virtuous!

After this matter is settled, Huo Yingjie would reciprocate this favor.

Huashan received Huo Yingjie’s notification and, without considering anything else, rushed towards Heiyu Village.

Huashan has now trained to the third level of their cultivation technique.

The two Daoist priests combined were no match for Huashan.

Disguised, Huashan arrived at Heiyu Village and just then encountered the two Daoist priests.

"Brother, for what purpose have you come here?" the middle-aged Daoist priest asked with a fist salute, seeing that the other party did not start a conflict, they might not be an enemy.

First courteous, then martial, was always their code of conduct.

Huashan returned the salute with a fist: "Entrusted by others, to capture the Sorcerer."

"Oh, then our goals align; let’s go in together, our chances of success will be greater," the middle-aged Daoist priest smiled and led the way.

"That would be excellent!" Huashan, masked, followed behind.

Huo Yingjie had already reached Xu Weiwei’s residence ahead of others, but Xu Weiwei’s stilt house was already empty.

Huo Yingjie did not hesitate, starting to use the so-called Thai secret techniques to track, and indeed found the direction Xu Weiwei had escaped.

It turns out that Xu Weiwei still used the old method, running directly into the dense forest, the denser the trees and undergrowth, the safer she felt.

Huo Yingjie followed the traces left by Xu Weiwei and pursued.

As Huo Yingjie pursued, he did not forget to inform Huashan behind him.

Huashan, the two Daoist priests, seeing the empty stilt house, knew that the witch had escaped.

While the middle-aged Taoist priest was casting spells to trace the tracks, Huashan had already left, following the direction indicated by Huo Yingjie.

When the direction the Taoist priest calculated coincided with the direction Huashan had taken, they knew Huashan was a highly skilled person.

So, they followed.

Huo Yingjie kept searching ahead, feeling that Xu Weiwei was getting closer and closer.

Xu Weiwei also felt the imminent danger, running wildly, nearly at the cost of her physical health, rushing forward.

The only thought in her mind was not to get caught by Huo Yingjie.

Her master had died at the hands of Huo Yingjie; although she had practiced the secret techniques, she was no match for Huo Yingjie.

Alas, she thought, if only she had continued to focus on her cultivation, achieved great success, and then come out to seek revenge.

But it was too lonely in the desolate mountains.

She missed the bustling outside world, the colorful life, so she couldn’t wait to leave the deep mountains and forests.

When she emerged among people and everyone screamed "monster" at her, Xu Weiwei froze, stole a mirror from a household, and after looking at herself, realized she was disfigured.

The wrinkles on her face resembled those on Grandma Ma’s face.

She had thought they were tattoos; but they weren’t, now understanding they were the side effects of practicing the secret techniques.

She couldn’t make an appearance in front of others openly; even if she did, she had to wear a mask.

Those terrified to their souls by her were killed in her rage, as she kept killing.

Xu Weiwei had long forgotten Grandma Ma’s admonitions, feeling that killing could soothe the anger inside her, even bring her some indescribable pleasure, and in the process of murdering, she gained money, identity, and gradually blended into modern life.

By chance, she met a Fox Spirit wanting to transform.

It was impossible for the Fox Spirit to transform, so they made a deal; both being creatures unlike ordinary humans or animals, it made sense to collaborate.

But what they did was even more brutal, gruesomely killing a young girl and taking over her body.

The two of them, one in the open and one in the shadows, gradually approached the big shots, getting close to the Huo Family to seek revenge.

In Xu Weiwei’s heart, her tragic life was all caused by the Huo Family, and thus she sought revenge.

Huo Yingjie was formidable, and Xu Weiwei knew she wasn’t his match, hence didn’t dare to rashly go to Yanjing.

Although she couldn’t go to Yanjing, she could deal with Huo Zheqian!

Xu Weiwei kept running, all the while thinking.

One moment excited, the next regretful!

She was very conflicted.

Her speed was great, like a leopard, rumored in the lush forest.

Last time, Grandma Ma had used her secret techniques to prevent Huo Yingjie from tracing Xu Weiwei, but this time, without Grandma Ma’s help, Huo Yingjie could easily find the path Xu Weiwei had taken while fleeing.

Finally, on the edge of a cliff, just as Xu Weiwei was about to turn back and find another route, Huo Yingjie had already appeared on her inevitable path, blocking Xu Weiwei.

Huo Yingjie looked at the monster before him; if Xu Weiwei hadn’t gone down the path of wicked arts, she might still be a somewhat famous singer in Xiangjiang, living a glamorous life, wouldn’t have killed the principled Grandma Ma, nor would she have ended up as she did now.
