Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Wind and Fire Team

In fact, without Zhou Shangyun saying it, everyone had already noticed the change in Gao Feng.

When Gao Feng walked over with Jing Yan, even Hu Donghe, a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner, couldn’t help but let his gaze linger on Gao Feng for a moment longer.

Gao Feng was already a top-tier beauty, dazzling to behold. Today, her face seemed to glow with an immaculate light halo, adding an extra layer of charm and allure that was heart-stirring.

Before anyone else could comment, Gao Feng, upon hearing Zhou Shangyun’s words, showed a bashful blush on her enchanting face from practicing alchemy.

Realization dawned on everyone’s faces; they all looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan just let out a dry laugh.

"It’s getting late, let’s set off!" Jing Yan hurriedly said.

Not dwelling on the subject, everyone took off from the ground one after the other. Jing Yan also pulled at Gao Feng’s jade hand and then soared into the sky, vanishing into the horizon as Gao Feng watched, leaving her rooted in place for a long time, reluctant to leave.

"My husband, please be careful!" Gao Feng murmured in her heart as she watched Jing Yan fly away, standing still.

Soon, Jing Yan and others flew out above Donglin City and gradually picked up speed.

However, since Mu Liantian and Zhou Shangyun only had Daoist Master Realm Cultivation, the group couldn’t travel very fast.

In a valley not far from Donglin City, dozens of figures were hidden. Suddenly, a dark shadow swiftly rushed in from the entrance of the valley, his face masked.

"Elder, Jing Yan and others have left Donglin City," the shadow reported respectfully in front of an old man.

"Did Zhou Shangyun and the others also leave with them?" the elder asked sharply.

"Yes, Zhou Shangyun, Zhou Tian, and Hu Donghe, they all left with Jing Yan," the shadow in black said.

"Have the Wind and Fire Team continue to track them, but be careful. Both Jing Yan and Hu Donghe are Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners, it would be very dangerous if you’re discovered," the elder instructed.

"Yes!" The shadow in black turned and quickly left.

"It seems Jing Yan and the others have left Donglin City," the elder said, turning around to address the twenty-plus people nearby after the shadow had left.

"With Jing Yan and the others gone, doesn’t that leave Donglin City defenseless? The strongest in the entire city are just a few Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists, who could be wiped out in an instant," one of them said with a raspy voice brimming with excitement.

"Indeed, according to our information, that is the case," the elder nodded.

"Elder, could it be a trap set by Jing Yan and the others? They seem to be leaving on the surface, but in reality, they might be close by. If we attack Donglin City, they would suddenly appear," someone said with a suspicious tone.

"That is a possibility. To be cautious, let’s not make any moves for now and wait for further news from the Wind and Fire Team," the elder nodded and advised again.

The Wind and Fire Team, which was responsible for surveilling Jing Yan and his party, had six members, all Daoist Realm Martial Artists. The members of the Wind and Fire Team had decent Martial Arts Cultivation, but more importantly, they had all mastered their Concealing Techniques to a very profound degree.

It would be difficult to detect them if they were careful in their tracking.

These people were from the Gu Family. Months ago, when Gu Mo, the Supreme Elder of the Gu Family at the Dao Emperor Realm, was slain by Jing Yan, the family had learned their lesson. Instead of mounting a direct assault on Donglin City, they dispatched a group capable of exceptional surveillance to the region, with Jing Yan naturally being the prime target.

Leading this group was an elder with considerable standing within the Gu Family, who was also a Martial Artist at the Dao King Realm Peak.

"Elder, should we report back to the family?" one person asked.

"No rush, let’s wait for confirmation from the Wind and Fire Team to ensure Jing Yan and others truly have left," the elder pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

If Jing Yan and the others weren’t really leaving Donglin City, then relaying the message back would be misleading.

"The elder is right, it’s better to wait and confirm before reporting back to the family," someone offered flattery.

...

Jing Yan and company continued their flight toward Lanqu County City, and they occasionally talked amongst themselves.

Suddenly, Jing Yan’s brow furrowed, and his flying speed dramatically decreased.

"Jing Yan, what’s wrong?" Hu Donghe immediately asked.

The others also slowed down, turning their gaze towards Jing Yan.

"We have a tail following us," Jing Yan said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

The people of the Wind and Fire Team were all Daoist Realm Martial Artists. If Jing Yan and Hu Donghe sped up a bit, the Wind and Fire Team certainly wouldn’t be able to keep up. However, Zhou Shangyun and Mu Liantian were also with Jing Yan and Hu Donghe, which meant the Wind and Fire Team could manage to hang on.

"Someone is tracking us?" Hu Donghe was taken aback.

He hadn’t noticed anyone following them. After hearing Jing Yan’s words, he deliberately released his Divine Soul to sense the surroundings but still found nothing.

"Really? How come I didn’t notice anyone?" Hu Donghe muttered, frowning.

"There are six of them, their Concealing Techniques are excellent, they’re at a great distance, and they’ve almost completely concealed their auras," Jing Yan quipped.

The Wind and Fire Team was indeed quite far from Jing Yan and the others, which made them difficult to detect. If it weren’t for Jing Yan’s extraordinarily powerful Divine Soul and Divine Thought, even he might have been deceived.

"Let’s take care of them, they are probably from the Gu Family," Jing Yan chuckled coldly.

Then, in a flicker, he activated Sky Wings and disappeared from his original position.

The six members of the Wind and Fire Team, sensing something amiss as Jing Yan and the others suddenly decreased their speed, grew uneasy. However, they remained confident in their Concealing Technique, so initially, they didn’t think they had been detected.

But when Jing Yan vanished, that uneasy premonition intensified.

"Not good, we’ve been spotted, run!"

"Run!"

The six people immediately retreated in panic, speeding up to their limits in an instant.

The six shadows were fully exposed within the sight of Hu Donghe and the others.

"So there really were six bastards," Hu Donghe said angrily upon seeing the six figures fleeing swiftly.

In the midst of his anger, Jing Yan appeared behind the six members of the Wind and Fire Team. His Divine Soul enveloped them, and his Divine Thought suddenly crushed down on the six men.

They felt a sudden pain in their heads, leaving them dazed. By the time they regained consciousness, excruciating pain surged through their bodies as a terrifying energy pierced through them.

In an instant, the six men fell to the ground, dead.

After collecting their Sumeru Rings, Jing Yan returned to where Hu Donghe and the others were.

"Let’s go, no one should be tracking us now," Jing Yan said to the group.

"The Gu Family really hasn’t given up. These few must be at an elite level within the Gu Family if their Concealing Technique is so good," Zhou Tian remarked.

"No matter how good their Concealing Technique is, Jing Yan discovered them, and now there are six dead," Zhou Shangyun said with a laugh.

Amidst their light laughter, they continued on their flight.

Two hours later.

Thousands of meters behind where the members of the Wind and Fire Team died, another shadow in black revealed itself.
