Qin Tiexin flew in the original direction for a while and landed in a mountain col northeast of Pure Light Mountain.

The col is not big and is surrounded by low slopes on three sides. Chen Xi is waiting here, standing with his back against a piece of gray rock. He still looks like Li Shan, with a goatee and a flat nose.

"Here you go, have you finished everything?" Chen Xi looked at him and said, "Let's change our appearance first."

Qin Tiexin nodded.

After saying that, Chen Xi took out two pieces of Form-Changing Talisman and photographed him.

Under the influence of Form-Changing Talisman, his figure also shrank inch by inch, from over nine feet to just over eight feet. His shoulders and back narrowed, and he no longer had the tall and eye-catching image.

The monk took off his robes and put on a set of dusty shorts, looking like a hunter on a long journey.

Qin Tiexin activated Qi and Blood, and the scalp felt numb for a while, and the hair grew out in stubbles, reaching up to the earlobes in a blink of an eye.

Chen Xi also moved, his back a little stooped, and his face had a layer of wind and frost, like a traveling businessman.

"Also, press your breath to Foundation Establishment Early Stage." Chen Xi said, "Your Qi and Blood is too strong, don't let it out."

Qin Tiexin converged as told.

Fire of Life Pressed down extremely low, my heartbeat slowed down and my breathing became much lighter.

With his current appearance, Qin Tiexin is confident that even if Lin Chuan is in front of him, he may not be able to recognize him.

Last time at Secret Realm Trial, my Shape Change failed, which caused a lot of trouble. It was my senior brother who helped me solve the problem.

This time Qin Tiexin has a new memory, it has completely changed from the inside out, and all the weapons have been put away.

Chen Xi looked at it and nodded, but it was almost impossible to tell what "Mingjue" looked like.

The two of them came out of the mountain col, neither took the official road nor flew into the sky with swords.

Chen Xi took out a two-foot-long gray-white shuttle from Storage Bag. There were a few repair marks on the corners, and it was not of high quality.

"Use this to avoid irritation. Walk close to the treetops and don't go to high altitudes."

The shuttle flew past the forest, not very fast, and flew straight in the direction of Falling Star City.

Chen Xi stood at the head of the shuttle, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. He would look back every once in a while and look at the way he came from.

The first two days were relatively calm.

But Qin Tiexin faintly noticed something was wrong. Starting from the second night, Senior Brother Chen Xi kept frowning for some unknown reason.

Except for giving directions, he hardly spoke. Every half an hour, he would stop and listen for a while before walking again.

Qin Tiexin sits cross-legged on the shuttle to practice and never bothers his senior brother. If he needs anything, his senior brother will tell him.

When camping at night, Chen Xi never lay down, only sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath, opening his eyes and looking around every time he burned an incense stick.

When on the road, Chen Xi specializes in shady places, forest edges, valley bottoms, dry rivers, wherever it is hidden.

Qin Tiexin also became vigilant unconsciously, laying Killing Intent Perception all the time, going through every trouble.

"Senior brother." He found a conversation to calm down his tense spirit, "Medical Cultivator Su, how did you arrange it?"

Chen Xi was exploring the environment ahead, and paused when he heard this.

"I made another puppet and left it at her place." He said, "I think it can last for two months. When the little princess's Curse is almost cleared, she said she wants to live in Zhaoming Temple forever and doesn't have to go back to the palace."

With Su Qing here, Qin Tiexin feels more at ease.

On the third day, the two passed by a small town.

The city gate is not high, but there are many people coming in and out.

Chen Xi I was going to go around the city, but I looked up at the sky and changed my mind.

"Go in and rest for half an hour. Take a rest." After being on the road for days, it's really time to take a rest.

The city is not big, but it is very lively and there are many mortals inside.

The two of them found a street shop and sat down, ordering two bowls of spiritual tea.

Qin Tiexin lowered his head to drink tea. Chen Xi was holding the bowl, but his eyes went over the edge of the bowl and fell on the bustling crowd in the distance.

Suddenly, Chen Xi's hand stopped.

"Junior brother, someone is following you." He sent a message in a very low voice, "His cultivation level is not low, Golden Core Realm, he has followed you since yesterday."

Qin Tiexin did not raise his head, but spread Killing Intent Perception little by little.

There was a trading market in the distance, with people coming and going. The murderous intention was very deep, mixed with the noisy voices and footsteps, and there was only a faint trace. He followed the chill to find it, but he couldn't find where it came from.

"It's not just one way." Chen Xi added, "Maybe they are here to explore the road. We can't stay here anymore, so let's go."

The two put down Spirit Stone, got up and blended into the crowd.

Qin Tiexin However, he felt that the extremely faint murderous intention was stuck to his back and never let go.

After leaving the city, Chen Xi immediately changed direction.

He did not take the original route, but chose to walk in open areas.

The plains and river beaches provide excellent views, making it impossible to hide people and not easily ambushed.

Qin Tiexin followed Chen Xi along the way, changing directions along the way, sometimes deliberately turning back for a while and then turning again.

When encountering an oncoming monk, Chen Xi would go all the way around it and never meet him face to face.

But that murderous intention followed him like a shadow.

"They didn't take action in the city, they were waiting for us to go to a deserted place." Chen Xi said as they walked, "It's hard for them to set up an ambush if we walk in the open."

"Brother, there's no way they can hang me like this." Qin Tiexin said.

"I know, but at the moment the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light." Chen Xi said, "We have to find a way to get rid of them, or at least let them be exposed, otherwise it will be too disadvantageous for us."

Chen Xi regrets a little. If I had known this, I might as well have launched my fast shuttle from the beginning. Although it is a bit more ostentatious, they may not be able to catch up if they want to.

Judging from the posture of the people behind, it was obvious that they had been prepared for a long time. Now that they start the shuttle, they are simply a living target.

After dark, the two stopped by a river beach.

Chen Xi set up a warning array and released three thumb-sized insect puppets in three directions.

Qin Tiexin sit cross-legged and adjust your breath, Killing Intent Perception always lay down.

Just after midnight, the insect puppets returned the sound.

To the northeast, a breath of the Golden Core Realm flashed for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

"There's only one." Chen Xi whispered, "It's still two miles away."

"Prudent enough."

"Golden Core Realm, he can be dumped by us all day long, he is not an ordinary character."

After walking for a while, after turning around a valley, Chen Xi took out an animal skin from the storage ring and draped it on his body. He lay down and turned into a gray and black lynx, just like a low-level Demon Beast.

Chen Xi asked Qin Tiexin to do the same and transformed into a tall and strong grizzly bear Demon Beast.

In addition, Chen Xi took out two more puppets and asked them to walk along the original route in order to divert the enemy's attention. The two of them prepared to leave from another direction.

But half an hour later, Chen Xi returned to his human form, his face completely gloomy.

"Didn't get rid of it."

Qin Tiexin turned around and saw nothing. The murderous intention was still there, very far away, unhurriedly.

"The other party came prepared and was not an ordinary robber." Chen Xi said, "I wanted to wait for him to get close and kill him, but this guy didn't come close at all, he just hung there from a distance."

"Can you tell where the person is from?" Qin Tiexin asked.

Chen Xi shook his head.

"It's hard to say, ordinary robbers don't have the patience; Great Brahma Dynasty Now that the border is in chaos, we may not be able to tell that the Golden Core Realm monks are chasing us. Other forces..." He paused, "I can't tell."

Qin Tiexin didn't ask again. Being hung like this was more grueling than a real fight with a real sword or a gun.

If the other party doesn't take action, you won't know what he's trying to do or how many people are hiding behind him.

Perhaps the other party also wanted to use this method to kill the energy of the two of them.
