Chapter 949: Chapter 319: Is anyone home?_3 Chapter 949: Chapter 319: Is anyone home?_3 The crowd: “……”

Fuck!

We’re here to report a crime, not to let you drink piss.

I honestly never thought you had this kind of kink.

The black-armored guard savored it carefully, his brows furrowed: “This isn’t urine! This is spiritual qi turned into water!”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, someone sensed something was off and immediately came forward to examine it.

“Could such a thing be possible?”

As he spoke, he pinched a bit of the ‘urine stain’ and put it in his mouth to taste, murmuring, “Indeed, it’s condensed spiritual qi…”

Then, with a wave of his hand, he also condensed a handful of Spiritual Water from the air and sprinkled it on the ground.

He then picked up the fresh water stain that had just formed, tasted it, and confirmed, “Indeed it is!”

“Was the person standing right here at that time?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Just like this?” The black-armored guard struck the standard pose of one urinating.

“Right, right… This humble one only thought it was a bit indecent, never imagined that…”

“Hmm… it’s none of your business, off you go.”

Then a few people gathered around the puddle.

They explored escape routes in all directions.

They even climbed trees and descended again.

They brought a disk that seemed to have some magical function, prospecting all around.

In the end, they all marveled in admiration.

“How did he do it?”

“It feels like there was no leakage of qi anywhere around… It seems like this guy just mysteriously disappeared after getting to this spot.”

“There are no traces of an escape.”

“Nor any signs of climbing trees.”

“Not a single clue left on the tree bark.”

“Could this chap know the legendary Earth Escape?”

“The hell, he burrowed into the ground?”

“You’ve been listening to too many stories, right? You think this is a pangolin?”

A laugh came from the side: “Did you see the way our opponent moved?”

“Saw it, yeah.”

“Saying ‘peerless under the heavens’ wouldn’t be too much, right?”

“…Yeah, indeed impressive.”

“With that kind of skill, if he had a bit of stealth and secrecy techniques, and a way to cover up his own qi, doing this wouldn’t be too hard.”

“Besides, the Gentle Killer who has roamed the world unknown, if he didn’t have these two tricks up his sleeve… I’d doubt it’s the Gentle Killer at all.”

“Big brother has a point. So, what do we do now?”

“What to do? Go back and report our findings. Ask the authorities to send over some professional trackers. Our job here is done.”

The leader sighed, “Although I’d really like to get acquainted with this Gentle Killer… but since the difficulty in capturing him is so high, it’s already beyond what we can handle.”

The faces of the others clouded with gloom.

“Actually, I really admire the Gentle Killer…”

He sighed deeply.

Admiration is one thing, but… being kicked out of the game like this is truly a loss of face.

“This tree, and this puddle, don’t disturb them anymore.”

“Yes.”

The group of people left.

And Feng Yin, who was separated from them by just a tree bark, finally relaxed.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Crying out that was close.

I have to say, it was incredibly risky.

You could say, if it weren’t for my ‘golden finger,’ getting caught this time would have been a sure thing.

There would have been absolutely no chance of luck.

The experts of Capital City in Great Qin, their efficiency in handling things, is just too fast!

For Feng Yin, who came from Earth and was used to a ‘certain speed,’ it felt unbelievably fast.

Moreover, everyone has their own unparalleled skills.

Tracing someone, for instance, is a piece of cake.

No matter how many deceptive tricks are used, one can only rely on speed to stay slightly ahead, but the moment one stops, they will be caught up with!

And Feng Yin knew very well that this was just the beginning.

Once the net of heaven and earth was fully deployed, his situation would become even more dire than now.

“The Imperial Capital of Great Qin is truly extraordinary! Heroes emerge in an endless stream… I seem to have underestimated the heroes of the world.”

However, the ancient starlight sandalwood tree where Feng Yin was concealed was trembling with excitement!

My goodness… I’ve encountered an exceptional immortal fate!

To the current occupant hiding within its belly, Feng Yin, the tree felt an extreme gratitude.

This tree, which had lived for tens of thousands of years, had already developed spiritual consciousness.

Although it could not possibly possess a divine consciousness, a slight sentience was there.

Now, this touch of sentience had instantly expanded into spiritual consciousness.

It amounted to having wisdom, truly sensing the beauty of the human world.

How could it not be so excited as to practically dance with joy?

Had it not been for the fear of attracting too much attention, the ancient starlight sandalwood probably would have wished to uproot itself and perform a few gyrations of the yangge dance to express its excited feelings.

“Is the master being hunted?”

The ancient starlight sandalwood asked cautiously, “Should I pull a stick from my body to knock them out?”

“Or, if the master lures them here, I can use my branches to let each one hang themselves?”

“Does the master have any orders?”

Feng Yin: “…”

Never had he expected that the first tree he would enlighten in the solemn and respectful Imperial Capital would turn out to be a chatterbox.

This creature was clearly so excited that it couldn’t contain itself…

“Be careful, keep your cool.”

Feng Yin admonished, “This is the Imperial Capital, where the dragon energy converges, and the nation’s fortune is as solid as heaven; once you reveal any supernatural traits, you’ll be done for.”

“Thank you for the instruction, master.”

The ancient starlight sandalwood expressed its thanks very obediently.

Feng Yin sighed inwardly.

But he said nothing more.

He only felt that the trees in the Imperial Capital were different from those in the countryside. Their duplicitous nature, externally compliant but internally defiant, was exactly like the wily old bureaucrats.

With this one’s temperament, it seemed likely that discovery was a matter of when, not if.

Feng Yin was already calculating in his mind.

The next time he hid, he absolutely could not choose this tree again.

It wasn’t that he suspected its loyalty, but rather he feared its propensity to show off.

This could be a fatal problem.

The night deepened.

Feng Yin slept soundly in the tree hollow.

Suddenly, his heart jolted, and an inexplicable sense of alarm arose.

Instantly alert, he opened his eyes.

“Master, someone is coming.” The ancient sandalwood promptly reported to take credit, with fluctuations in its spiritual sense.

“Don’t move!”

Feng Yin quickly stopped it.

However, the figure of a person clad in black had already descended from the sky.

And landed at the base of the tree.

Then, they circled around the tree once.

This person had a gaunt face and a lean figure, and although they seemed of considerable age, their stature was straight and tall.

With hands behind their back, they circled around the ancient sandalwood with a look of interest in their eyes.

Then, surprisingly, they sat down at the roots of the tree and gently tapped on the bark with their fingertips.

Like a polite and learned visitor from afar.

Dong dong dong.

They knocked three times, with a gentle smile, they inquired, “Is anybody home?”

……

[…Yesterday I got a scolding from Haihun Shirt… ahem, it was only because I used his name as an excuse while I went out to have fun… No big deal, comrade, I’ll use your name again next time.]
