Chapter 358: Chapter 42: The Collector of Belly Bands [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "Craftsman Master Yang"]_1

With the heavy sword in his hand, Li Fujian stood guard over one area, saying, "Brother Zhuge, as expected, leaves nothing to chance. He really did come from the direction of the fire."

Zhuge Guanxing only smiled but said nothing.

Since the two of them had deduced during the day that the recent divination was related to fire, they had been pondering the implications of this fire. In the evening, the two noticed a fire break out in the city and immediately rushed over to the scene.

It was precisely on this way that they met up with the fleeing Li Feiyu.

Zhuge Guanxing immediately cast a spell, activating the Array Techniques to trap Li Feiyu in the array.

Chu Liang arrived at this site in the blink of an eye, and looked at the trapped Li Feiyu without saying a word.

However, the cornered thief would naturally not sit idly waiting for death. They saw his figure twist, a black wind spinning like a drill head, slamming heavily on the top of the Formation, immediately causing a crack!

With a wave of Zhuge Guanxing’s feather fan, he immediately energized his True Qi to reinforce the Formation. But Li Feiyu changed tactics, raising a black iron cone in his right hand and throwing it fiercely forward!

"Break Formation Cone!" Zhuge Guanxing immediately recognized this item.

This is a magic artifact specifically targeting formations. It can disrupt the coherence of the array runes in a formation with a momentary burst of explosive force, leading to the sudden collapse of the entire Array Diagram.

Even if you immediately repair it, he can still break free in this instant.

Chirp——

This Break Formation Cone is not cheap, Li Feiyu didn’t want to use it right away, but he didn’t expect the Formation of this disciple from the Misty Mountain Immortal to be quite solid, so he had to use this treasure.

If he were given a bit more time, he might be able to break through the formation by himself. But the longer he delayed, the smaller his chances to escape become.

The Break Formation Cone immediately embedded itself in the golden light of the Array Diagram, instantly breaking a tiny crack in this Formation.

Li Feiyu turned into a black light, shoo, and disappeared from it.

But Li Fujian had been waiting here in advance.

"Don’t think about running away!" This core disciple of the Heavenly Gang Sect swung a heavy sword and chopped it down in the air!

The sound of this sword was so violent that if it hit, even a cultivator with a higher realm than Li Fujian would not be able to catch it without any harm.

However, the black light transformed by Li Feiyu was like vines, coiling upward, along Li Fujian’s sword and right arm, seeming about to rush towards Li Fujian’s face!

This move was quite tricky, but Li Fujian was not afraid at all.

When it comes to fighting, there was nobody the Heavenly Gang Sect was afraid of!

Only heard him split his tongue, suddenly spit out a thunderous sound: "Stop!"

Boom——

This tongue-splitting thunder, with its intense recoil, repelled the black light heavily!

Li Feiyu’s body flying upside down revealed his real body shape, he should be uncomfortable, and he turned and tried to flee again.

At this moment, Chu Liang was already descending from the sky!

A palm fell down!

Boom——

Li Feiyu hastily rose up to meet Chu Liang’s palm!

Although his level of cultivation was slightly higher than that of Chu Liang, Chu Liang had Dragon Blood Secret Method and Burning Blood to aid him, along with Jiuli Soul Armor, making it difficult for anyone to combat him at close range!

Li Feiyu was suddenly slammed and flew again!

As soon as his body hit the ground, Zhuge Guanxing’s face changed instantly, he stomped his foot and shouted, "Seal!"

In an instant, a golden light spread from his foot, wanting to seal off the entire ground... But it was a little too late.

Li Feiyu’s body instantly disappeared into the ground, like melting into water, vanished instantly!

Earth Escape!

It was not surprising that he has mastered a variety of escape techniques, and the Earth Escape techniques, not being too difficult ones, are naturally ones of perfected proficiency. Everyone knew that it would not be easy to catch him. They were mentally prepared for this.

It’s just a pity that this perfect opportunity was missed.

At the time of Li Fujian’s lamentation, Chu Liang silently took a step back, turned his hand to look at what was on his palm.

The reason why he didn’t draw his sword earlier and instead attacked Li Feiyu with his bare hand was to seize this opportunity to pickpocket the thief.

He wanted to steal something from the pickpocket.

With a little luck, he might be able to directly take out Ba Xia’s Double Rings, right?

But as soon as he took out this object, the texture could not be that of a magic artifact.

Chu Liang took a quick glance and saw that this thing was a brocade, with red strings, embroidered, clearly another piece of bellyband!

Huh?

Why say "again"?

...

Immediately after, Yun Chaoxian also flew over, looking at Li Fujian, Zhuge Guanxing, and Chu Liang, he clenched his fist and yelled, "Alas! If I were here, I would never let him escape!"

"Yeah, then why weren’t you here..." Li Fujian asked weakly, "Is it because you didn’t want to come?"

"I didn’t make it in time!" Yun Chaoxian loudly retorted.

The tone of his response left them baffled. They thought to themselves; you were simply left behind, why are you so proud about it?

"Now that he has escaped, it will be harder to lure him out again later." Chu Liang sighed, "We might as well go back and figure out another plan."

"Sounds good." Zhuge Guanxing nodded.

The four of them immediately turned around in pairs and left this place.

Upon returning, Chu Liang sat in his room looking at the embroidered bellyband, lost in thought.

Why would Li Feiyu have such a thing on him?

Could it be that he is not just a thief, but a pervert too?

This wasn’t the first time Chu Liang had come across a bellyband. The last time he had obtained one from the equipment that the Evil Ksitigarbha had exploded. The owner of that bellyband was Demon Princess Liu from the Red Clothes Palace, which helped him learn about her illicit relationship with the South Route Guide - a clue that proved useful.

What about this one?

Could it lead him to some of Li Feiyu’s personal connections?

The next morning, Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian located another inn.

Because through their overnight investigation, they knew Ji Lingyu and Tang Shi were staying here.

"Senior Brother?" Little Tang Shi was somewhat surprised when she saw them, "Why are you here?"

"We have some matters that we would like to work with you on." Chu Liang smiled, "We can cooperate to track down Li Feiyu."

"Cooperate?" Ji Lingyu looked at them, "Isn’t there something that you can’t handle alone and need our help for?"

If that wasn’t the case, where would there be any need for cooperation in this competitive trial?

"Miss Ji is indeed clever." After they sat down, Chu Liang laughed, "I obtained an object from Li Feiyu last night, which must be imbued with his scent. I’m wondering if it’s possible to follow this residual scent to locate his hideout."

Now Ji Lingyu understood; Chu Liang knew about her Xuanyuan Golden Pupils and wanted her to help him find the person.

She was being treated like a Spirit Dog.

They had no leads so far, so naturally, they agreed when a clue literally came knocking, "No problem."

"Let us share this newfound clue openly and honestly. If we find any more in the future, we can begin competing then." Chu Liang said, "After all, the main goal of this time is still to retrieve the Ba Xia’s Double Rings for Wuji Mountain Manor. We shouldn’t delay the main task."

"That’s as it should be." Ji Lingyu nodded, "Show me what you got from Li Feiyu."

With that, Chu Liang placed the bellyband on the table.

"..." Tang Shi and Ji Lingyu both fell silent for a moment.

"Warrior Chu, you didn’t take it by mistake, did you?" Tang Shi asked.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly have such a thing on me?" Chu Liang hurriedly replied, "I got it from Li Feiyu!"

As for how he got it, he couldn’t go into detail.

He couldn’t voluntarily admit he knows a thieving skill.

The expressions of the two girls became subtle. Ji Lingyu took a strange look at Chu Liang, then at the bellyband, before saying, "Well, I’ll give it a try."

With that, she closed her eyes and made a hand seal.

Whooosh——

When she opened her eyes, both eyes were glowing with golden light!

"This bellyband is indeed imbued with a trace of aura..." She traced the faint colour trail with her eyes.

She followed it through the streets and alleys, searching for a similar aura in Donghuai City.

"I see it..."

"The same aura converges in the east of the city..."

"Music Pavilion."
