Chapter 493: Analyzing Yin and Yang, Observing the Five Elements in the Palm
At six o’clock the next day, Qin Feng and others arrived outside Qiongyu City.
The huge soldiers of the Military War Duke Army did not follow together, but dispersed and lurked in the nearby mountain forests.
In Qin Feng’s mind, this was a divide and conquer strategy that would avoid attracting the enemy’s attention.
After all, if his Star Observation Technique was correct, the sinister Ghost Buddha might already have entered Qiongyu City.
At the moment, the enemy was in the dark, while our side was in the light.
If we entered the city with great fanfare, we might be ambushed and wiped out by the enemy.
Therefore, the safest way was to hide the army first, figure out the enemy’s movements, and then catch them off guard.
At this moment, Cang Feilan and Liu Jianli changed their appearance, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes and covering their faces with headscarves to hide their beautiful faces.
Lie Ying also took off his armour and dressed like an ordinary woodcutter, but his physique was obviously too strong.
They did this under Qin Feng’s instructions. The appearance of the two women were too outstanding, and Lie Ying was also very conspicuous in his general’s attire.
Only by disguising themselves could they avoid attracting attention.
After entering the city gate, Qin Feng looked around and frowned slightly.
Qiongyu City was not Heavenly City, but a medium-sized city with a population that is second to none within a radius of 200 miles.
People were coming and going on the streets, and the city was full of smoke and fire, looking peaceful and harmonious.
But does this scene look like a city surrounded by demons and ghosts?
“General Lie, have the soldiers of the Military War Duke Army found any traces of demons and ghosts in the mountains outside the city?” Qin Feng asked in a deep voice.
Lie Ying shook his head, “If anything happens, my troops will light the smoke signals that only the Duke’s military army can understand.”
“Wife, have you felt any strange aura?” Qin Feng turned his head and asked.
After Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked around, they both shook their heads.
“It’s strange. There’s nothing unusual among the townspeople, and there’s no sign of demons or ghosts outside of town. Could it be that the Red Lotus Demon Slayers of this town are just fooling around?” Lie Ying cursed.
“When something goes wrong, there must be demons. General Lie, you go to the county government and the Demon Slaying Department to see if you can find out anything.”
“I’ll walk around town with my wives and see what people have to say.”
“We’ll meet at this restaurant in the evening,” Qin Feng suggested.
“Alright, just be careful of yourself.” With these words, Lie Ying left with several soldiers disguised as civilians.
“But I’m just a little demon, I’m not qualified to have that thing.”
Crystal Water Stone, why does this thing sound so familiar?
Suddenly, Qin Feng slapped his forehead, “How could I forget this?”
After a moment of searching in his chest, Qin Feng pulled out a crystal-like object resembling a drop of water.
Bai Xiaomao’s eyes widened, “Crystal Water Stone!”
Indeed, this object was the Crystal Water Stone that Sister Mo had given to Qin Feng when he left Jinyang City.
“How far is the effective range of this thing?” Qin Feng asked again.
Bai Xiaomao truthfully replied, “I have heard from others that within a radius of thirty li, as long as you infuse qi, they can sense each other.”
Qin Feng understood and then activated his divine consciousness to enter. He saw a vast expanse of darkness, like a deep and empty pond beneath his feet.
With him at the centre, waves spread out in all directions, but there were no other disturbances.
Suddenly, the silent Heaven and Earth echoed with the sound of water droplets.
Qin Feng noticed that another ripple approached from the northwest, collided with his ripple, and then slowly dissipated.
At that moment, the entire Heaven and Earth returned to silence.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and informed Bai Xiaomao of what he had just seen.
He replied, “That’s because other guys with Crystal Water Stone have sensed your breath and are responding to you.”
“If I’m not mistaken, he should come here to find you. All we have to do is wait quietly in the town, but...”
“But what?” Qin Feng asked curiously.
“Ever since Big Sister disappeared without a trace, many powerful individuals have betrayed us and are hunting loyal demons.”
“So the entity you’ve attracted might not be trustworthy. You’d better be careful,” Bai Xiaomao reminded him.
Qin Feng nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this point.
However, with two wives by his side, if the newcomer is not friendly, the only one who should be careful is the other party.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Qin Feng’s ear: “Analyzing Yin and Yang, discerning the Five Elements, holding the Sun and Moon in the palm of your hand, inspecting Feng Shui, and measuring the Six Harmonies, hold the universe in your sleeve.”
“Young master, would you like this humble Daoist to read your fortune?”
