Under Lu Feng's suspicious analysis, he hurriedly turned back from the north and headed south in the opposite direction.
From Sun Liuliu's perspective, she undoubtedly wanted Ji Lanxin to be as far from Qin Tianliang as possible. By deliberately sending her north, Qin Tianliang's true route was very likely south!
Lu Feng raced southward. Passing through a mountain ridge, he suddenly spotted numerous fresh traces of battle on the rock face. Looking closely, he recognized that many of the sword marks had come from Hai Mountain Swordplay, while the other chaotic marks were varied—there were saber marks, blunt-weapon marks, and even traces left by concealed weapons.
Yet among those faint saber marks, Lu Feng still caught a trace of the Qin Family's Qin King Saber.
Seeing this, Lu Feng became certain that the Hai Mountain Sword Sect truly was hunting Qin Tianliang.
Thinking of what Qin Tianliang had said when they had gone to the Qin Family to demand an explanation—that he had drunkenly lost his head and molested Tang Jing—though nothing had come of it, it now seemed that he had indeed angered the Hai Mountain Sword Sect.
Otherwise, they would not have made such a grand and brazen show of force.
Lu Feng now understood why Sun Liuliu had not sought revenge at once. She had wanted the Hai Mountain Sword Sect's group to first wear down part of the Qin Family's strength and fight until both sides were battered, then trouble Qin Tianliang without lifting a finger.
She had even had the leisure to join in the excitement at the Sword Stele Forest and Giant Sword Mountain along the way.
As Lu Feng pondered, he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of an array behind the mountain wall. Feeling that something was amiss, he quickly climbed the cliff.
