When Su Mei returned to the dining table, except for Bai Shen, she did not find Jian Chen's whereabouts.
"He has something important to do. Don't mind him." Before Su Mei could ask, Bai Shen immediately answered first.
"Will it take long?" Su Mei asked.
Smiling reassuringly, Bai Shen replied, "After we come back from our walk, maybe he'll be back."
Su Mei gave an "oh" and no longer asked. then walked close to Bai Shen, stopped two meters away, and asked, "Sister Bai, the clothes I'm wearing, do they fit?"
Bai Shen looked up and down Su Mei's body.
Currently, she was wearing light green clothes that looked beautiful. His height of around 1.6 meters is also suitable for what he chooses. The clothes themselves also seemed to suit her body. Taking a glance at her, Bai Shen had to admit, that Su Mei was actually a beautiful woman if only there weren't any blemishes on her face.
The developed body in front of the back, as well as the slender waist, and the pure white skin slightly reddish, Bai Shen was a little envious. If it weren't for the wound on her face, Bai Shen really had to admit that perhaps Su Mei would be prettier than herself.
But Bai Shen didn't want to say such hurtful things and only praised, "The clothes you wear really suit you. I thought that they might have been made especially for you."
Hearing Bai Shen's praise, Su Mei smiled happily, and said thank you. After that, her put on his face mask, and immediately pulled Bai Shen's arm to leave the house.
At another place.
Currently, Jian Chen was already at the gates of the Yanjin Sect and stopped while breathing in the fresh air of freedom.
His destination now was the Miyin Forest, a forest located to the west of the Yanjin Sect, which stretched hugely, almost covering the entire eastern region, full of dangerous spiritual beasts and all kinds of rare medicinal ingredients. And it was this Forest that Jian Chen wanted to do a full month of training to prepare before the Sect exams began. Of course he only went to the outer area of the forest, because with his current strength, a mere level 3 spiritual beast was enough to overwhelm him.
Apart from training, his other purpose in going to Miyin Forest was to lure some mice out, and without needing to wait, the plan succeeded. Because since leaving the Sect gate, Jian Chen saw that there were more than twenty people secretly following him in the dark.
“It seems like Wang Lee was a little careful this time by bringing so many people,” Jian Chen smiled as he quickened his pace.
"According to rumors, Wang Lee is at the fourth level of Qi Training, one level above mebut with the large number of people he's brought now, it's impossible to face him face to face."
"It looks like there will be a fun hunt in Miyin Forest." Jian Chen smiled faintly and disappeared among the forest trees.
While behind him, Wang Lee, who was still with Li Hong, stopped and did not continue to chase him.
If Jian Chen saw the two of them now, perhaps Jian Chen would laugh at their appearance. because since coming out of the Blood Mountains, the two of them had been suffering from itching, and a heat that had not disappeared until now.
Luckily their spiritual energy had returned, and they had already received offers from the people behind them. After getting a little better, without waiting any longer, they also immediately looked for Jian Chen.
When they got the news that Jian Chen had left the Sect, Li Hong and Wang Lee immediately gathered several people and chased after him, but this time they were not as reckless as before.
"Even though he's weak, he's very cunning. Learning from previous experience, we'd better be on guard." Li Hong said to everyone.
"I'm also worried that if we just chase him, he'll set up a trap like before. We'd better think of an effective way." Wang Lee beside him added.
“Brother Li, I have a plan,” the person with a bow on his back, and still a Qi training cultivator suddenly spoke, with the blue clothes he wore, he was an outer disciple that Li Hong invited to join for some reward.
"Say, what are your plans?"
"Brother Li, since childhood I have lived in the Forest, and lived by hunting spiritual beasts. In our place, if we want to catch something that is difficult to catch, we will lead him to a place, and together kill him while he is cornered."
Hearing that, Li Hong felt interested and asked again, "How does it work?"
The disciple began to pick up sticks and draw on the ground while explaining, "First of all, we have to find the right place so he can't escape. After that, three people will come at him in three different directions, and clear the direction that leads to that trap..the aim was to scare him."
"When he runs in the designated direction, all the remaining people will immediately surround him in a circle, and together lead him to the starting place." After finishing explaining, the image of a beast being cornered and surrounded with no way to go appeared before everyone.
Seeing it, Li Hong suddenly grinned and really liked the young man's plan, but he still had another problem, and said, "It seems like a good plan, but the key is, the place that has no loopholes, where is it?"
"I know." Wang Lee, who had not spoken until now, came out while carrying a map in his hand.
"There is a valley in this place," said Wang Lee, pointing to the map. "We are now outside and it is possible that he is not far from us either. According to the location on the map and calculating the initial plan, we can lead him to this place in the valley."
From the image on the map in Wang Lee's hand, everyone knew that the valley appeared to be without gaps and there was only one way in. when Jian Chen was surrounded there, there would definitely be no other choice but to fight.
Thinking that, Li Hong grinned coldly and nodded. "It's decided, let's do it."
With all the plans that had been prepared, they immediately divided their respective tasks and walked towards Jian Chen.
As for Jian Chen himself, he didn't know what the people behind him were planning, but since the sky was still not dark, he decided to increase his guard first.
After going deeper into the Forest, Jian Chen discovered a hole in a trunk that was obscured by moss and looked natural, which was likely also difficult to find, he decided to enter it and began taking out spiritual stones from his storage bag to practice.
At the same time that Jian Chen was cultivating, the group of people chasing around had already arrived there, but just as Jian Chen had thought, no one noticed where he was.
Until day turned into night, still no one found Jian Chen's whereabouts.
When he opened his eyes, he also no longer felt the presence of people outside.
"Fourth Qi training." Jian Chen smiled. "With my current strength, I might be able to defeat some of them. But before that, I'd better practice the Cold Wind Sword technique first."
The tree hole he was hiding in was only big enough for him to sit in, so to practice, he had to get out. Luckily it was night, even if Jian Chen went out, he would be hard to spot among the trees and plants, but he was still careful and didn't go too far from that place.
Then took a book from the storage bag, and began to study the Cold Wind Sword Technique.
According to the instructions in the book, they were just pictures of movements without any description. From what was written at the end of the book, it also only had the words, Sword, Fast, Invisible, and Cold.
