After waiting for a whole day, neither Jun Tianmo nor Jun Yang who went out found Yu Honglian.

Jiang Yumian put down the messenger talisman, it was good to be able to contact his senior brother, at least he and Jun Yang were sure to be safe.

The red clouds in the evening glow reflected in the sky, which is a beautiful sight, but unfortunately, the people in the courtyard were not interested in enjoying it at all.

"Master, with Master and the others looking for them, Junior Sister Honglian will definitely be fine." Said Pei Ming who was sitting on the other side.

"Yeah." Jiang Yumian nodded and replied, it was getting late, he looked at his apprentice and said, "There is no danger here, you will not feel well after a night in the soft cave, go back to your room to sleep tonight. "

Pei Ming agreed after a moment of pondering, which surprised him a bit.

He saw the apprentice's performance these days, and thought he needed to spend more time persuading him.

But yes, Pei Ming has always been sensible, and he slept here yesterday because he was worried about him.

The two sat in the courtyard for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Pei Ming finally got up: "Master, I'm going back first."

"Well, let's go." Jiang Yumian nodded and said, his expression as usual.

He watched Pei Ming walk out of the courtyard door, and when he turned around, his sight was blocked by the courtyard wall, then he withdrew his eyes, took a sip of tea, put down his hand still stroking the teacup, and lowered his eyebrows and eyes in thought.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, it is all the territory of Taichu City and Wuding Mountain Villa. If someone wants to do something in this area, it must be impossible to escape the eyes and ears of Taichu City.

He didn't believe that Absolute Beginning City and Wuding Mountain Villa didn't set up some patrol secret sentries on their own territory.

This kind of sect with a wide range of influence usually arranges formations secretly, and so does the Snow Mountain sect.

Otherwise, the place is too big, if an outsider breaks in without knowing it, it will be enough to put the whole sect in crisis.

Rubbing the white jade teacup with her fingertips, Jiang Yumian decided to explore Taichu City tonight.

Pei Ming said that he felt that something was wrong here. It should be something discovered in his intuition. For example, when he was in the cave, Pei Ming discovered the secret way, and he still trusted his apprentice's intuition.

As for Wuding Villa, if you don't find anything in Taichu City, go there.

As the night darkened, Jiang Yumian returned to the room and lit up the candles as usual.

The courtyard was very quiet, and the spiritual energy slowly gathered. Any monk who came over knew that the people in the room were practicing. This is really very common in the cultivation world.

In the middle of the night, the entire city of Absolute Beginning seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, shrouded in a hazy night.

The lamps and candles in Jiang Yu's sleeping room had been extinguished. Just like the previous night, he practiced until midnight and fell asleep without any abnormalities.

In the dark room, Jiang Yumian changed into black night clothes, and also wore a mask to cover his face. The mask was also black, and he almost blended into the night.

He was very cautious, even the smell of his breath was disguised, even if the person who knew him most was standing here, he couldn't identify him.

There are masters everywhere in the city of Absolute Beginning, not only people from the City of Absolute Beginning, but also other sects, so one has to be careful.

After making sure that there was no one around, he stepped out of the courtyard and walked silently into the inner city along the dark shadows.

There are disciples on duty at night in both the outer city and the inner city. Jiang Yumian's cultivation base is higher than them, but there is still a little trouble on the way.

The patrolling disciples' cultivation base is not high, but they are using the heaven-level magic weapon to investigate at night.

Even if it is only the lowest level of heaven-rank magic weapon, wherever the magic weapon goes, everything is inescapable, and it is extremely useful at night.

Even for Jindan cultivators, Jiang Yumian hid in the dark and waited for the five disciples to go away, not daring to move.

Different from the Snow Mountain School, he doesn't understand the magic weapon for detection in Absolute Beginning City, and there may be something unique about it, so he must be careful.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and he was allowed to sneak into the vicinity of the inner city.

The inner city is where Duan Song and the elders of Taichu City live. During the day, they can come and go as they please, and at night, there are disciples on duty at the gate of the city.

If it is coming over in a fair manner, you can ask the disciples to report, the people of Absolute Beginning City can't keep the guests out.

But Jiang Yumian obviously couldn't do that tonight.

He hid in the shadow of the corner of the wall and looked at the four disciples at the gate of the city. Their cultivation bases were not weak, and they were all at the peak of foundation building, one step away from forming alchemy.

If it's just a fight, these four people are no match for him, but if you just want to sneak in under their noses, it's not so easy.

Then you can only talk about it, and lead them away first.

Before Jiang Yumian could make a move, he suddenly noticed a cloudy air not far from the north, passing by very quickly, and he didn't know where he fled.

Not only him, but also the disciples guarding the gate, two of them sternly shouted someone, and then chased after him.

There were only two of the four left. Jiang Yumian wondered who the hell was breaking in, and made some noise in the south, leaving one less person guarding the gate.

The remaining person was very vigilant, and directly notified the other Absolute Beginning City disciples to come over to guard in case someone broke into the inner city tonight.

But it took time for others to come. Jiang Yumian seized the opportunity, and with the help of a gust of wind, used the secret technique of concealment to almost turn himself into a gust of wind, and narrowly entered the inner city.

The gatekeeper was wearing light armor. When he slipped in, he obviously sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and looked around, but the magic weapon in his hand didn't reveal anything unusual nearby. Finally, he had to give up and turned around to go back to the gate. in place.

No matter how calm Jiang Yumian was, he would inevitably be a little nervous as a thief for the first time.

After the opponent turned around, he breathed a sigh of relief silently. At this moment of relaxation, the gatekeeper who pretended to leave suddenly turned around, his eyes sharp as a knife.

Jiang Yumian knew he had made a mistake, and he reacted quickly, holding his breath and hiding in the city wall.

This is the technique of earth hiding that he has learned before, and it belongs to the secret technique of hiding traces. He studied and learned this specially in order to deal with this situation.

Just as the gatekeeper was coming towards him, he suddenly turned around and chased in another direction.

Jiang Yumian had already heard the movement of other people who had come to support, and took advantage of this gap to leave immediately.

He noticed a faint trace of Yin Qi, and wondered if it was related to the Yin Qi just now. It seemed that he was not the only one who broke in tonight.

The movement at the gate of the city made the buildings in front of the inner city light up with candles, and an elder Jindan came out to check.

In order to avoid the opponent's spiritual consciousness, Jiang Yumian found a place to hide, and did not rush in for a while.

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that the inspectors didn't catch anyone suspicious, and the elder Jindan went back, but the number of people on duty in the inner city was doubled.

The City of Absolute Beginning was so cautious that Jiang Yumian, who was already suspicious, felt that they were even more suspicious.

In fact, this is also caused by suspicion. It is impossible for any sect to relax their vigilance after knowing that someone has broken in.

After a group of inspecting disciples passed by, he quietly climbed through the window and used this room to go deep into the courtyards of houses in the inner city.

He didn't have any clue, so he could only search aimlessly in all the places he passed, no matter the walls or the floor tiles under his feet, but an hour and a half passed, and he searched almost all the places but found nothing.

Jiang Yumian, who was hidden in the darkness, looked towards the inner courtyard where Duan Song lived.

It's already this time, and the lights are still on there, Duan Song is obviously not asleep yet.

However, the opponent's cultivation base is lower than his, so as long as he is not detected by the formation, he may be able to find out.

After rushing in, Jiang Yumian made a decision because this place is not bad.

Just when he was about to act, the moon covered by the clouds reappeared. Fortunately, the moonlight was not good tonight, and the crescent moon was quickly covered by the clouds drifting over.

Jiang Yumian was very cautious, but at the moment when the light was bright and dark, a cloud of darkness suddenly surged behind him.

Before he could turn around to evade, he was grabbed by the waist by someone attacking from behind and dragged into the darkness.

The yin energy enveloping him was originally aggressive, but for some reason it weakened immediately before it touched him.

Jiang Yumian suppressed the astonishment in his heart, although he didn't feel the malice of this sudden person, but he couldn't bear this kind of behavior of being hugged by a stranger, and he hit the opponent's eyebrow with his backhand.

"Don't move, there is a formation ahead." The person behind him narrowly blocked this move, but still hissed softly because of the spiritual energy attack between his brows.

Facing such a person of unknown origin, although the other party did not fight back, Jiang Yumian did not let down his vigilance.

When he wanted to break free, the other party took the initiative to let go.

"Look at this." A deep voice sounded very close behind him. For some reason, Jiang Yumian felt a little familiar.

His attention was quickly drawn to the sight in front of him.

With the help of an unknown magic weapon, he saw a deeply hidden formation emerging from the ground in front of Duan Song's courtyard, hidden under two formations.

If there hadn't been this encounter, Jiang Yumian had already stepped in, even if he could get out of this killing array, once he attracted all the Golden Core cultivators in the inner city, it would be difficult to escape no matter how powerful he was.

The people behind removed the magic weapon in front of him, Jiang Yumian was silent for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?"

As he said that, he turned around, and a man shrouded in gray and cloudy air appeared in front of him, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was about the same height as him.

"Me?" The man seemed to be in a good mood, he could hear a smile in his words, and said, "Then tell me who you are first."

He wanted to know who the other party was, and the other party also wanted to know who he was. Jiang Yumian was dumbfounded. He couldn't reveal his identity to a stranger, so he stopped talking.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yumian became more and more puzzled, why did this person sound so familiar that he seemed to know him.

Seeing that he was silent, the man asked again in a low voice: "You are also here to investigate Duan Song?"

According to what he meant, it should be the same purpose, so Jiang Yumian hesitated and nodded.

"Come with me," the man said.

The other party's whole body was shrouded in yin, but his aura was restrained so well that even Jiang Yumian hadn't noticed him behind him before.

"Don't worry, I can still hurt you." Seeing that he didn't follow immediately, the man stopped and smiled.

Jiang Yumian didn't feel any malice from him. Thinking of what was blocked just now, she pondered for a while and followed the man's footsteps with extreme curiosity.

Even if the other party stopped him just to prevent him from triggering the formation and alarming Duan Song, it would be beneficial to him. At least this person had the same purpose as him for the time being, and he didn't want to be discovered by the people of Taichu City.

Faced with such a sudden appearance of a stranger, Jiang Yumian's suspicions and guards have never been lowered.

Breaking into Taichu City at night is not a trivial matter, if found out, it will implicate the entire Snow Mountain faction, so he must be careful.
