Chapter 1039 There is no escape!
In the mountains and forests dozens of miles away from the gathering place.

Wei Hong suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of fear and dread.

"Even Xu Zijie is dead. Except for Master Qingfeng, no one else can escape?!" Wei Hong was secretly horrified.
At the moment the paper man disappeared, the feeling of despair of facing a desperate situation together with his companions hit his heart like a tide. He knew very well that if he had not made preparations in advance, he might have been left in the valley at this moment.

However, he did not have time to thank him. He immediately put away the concealment formation and skillfully eliminated all traces. Then he quickly restrained his breath and returned to Black Crow City silently like a dormant night owl.

On the way back to Black Crow City, Wei Hong kept recalling the scene conveyed by the paper man:
The encirclement and suppression battle in the valley was extremely brutal, and ended with five deaths and one escape.

Except for Master Qingfeng who used desperate secret techniques and escape techniques to escape with serious injuries, the other five were all killed on the spot. Even though they used all their trump cards and tried their best, they still had no chance of escape.

Fortunately, all Wei Hong sacrificed was a paper man substitute, so only Xu Zijie and four others were killed, and the only ones who escaped were Master Qingfeng and himself.

Of course, after the paper man was killed, its true nature was immediately exposed, allowing those demon cultivators to see that it was just a paper man clone, and the real body did not appear.

Even Master Qingfeng, who was seriously injured and fleeing, saw this scene, but he had no time to think about it at that time.

The dozen or so demon cultivators who participated in the encirclement and suppression were all furious when they found that two of their targets had managed to escape. However, they were helpless and could only watch Master Qingfeng escape.

They didn't even have a way to find Wei Hong's true identity.

After the battle, more than a dozen demon cultivators searched everywhere in the valley but found nothing.

At this time, Wei Hong had already changed his appearance and returned to Black Crow City as quickly as possible.

He returned to his residence quietly like a fish diving into deep water, without making any sound and attracting anyone's attention.

The next morning, Wei Hong woke up directly from meditation.

He walked out of the bedroom, tidied his clothes, and went to Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce to make pills as usual, as if he had never left Black Crow City. And indeed no one knew that he had secretly left Black Crow City yesterday.

"It is impossible for my paper substitute to be hidden from those demon cultivators. That means they already know that two targets have escaped. Next, they will definitely conduct a large-scale search in Black Crow City and even in various parts of Chu State to find the spies who have infiltrated Chu State."

"At this time, I absolutely cannot take any action. I must keep a low profile as much as possible and maintain my legitimate identity as the exclusive alchemist of Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed!"

"For the next few months, it seems I can only stay in deep hiding!"

Wei Hong sighed secretly, but didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea.

He was already feeling lucky to have escaped, so he would naturally not do anything that would risk being exposed at this time.

Only by hiding deeply can he ensure his own safety.

"I just don't know whether Master Qingfeng fled back to the Daye Dynasty after escaping, or hid somewhere to recuperate!"

Wei Hong secretly guessed the whereabouts of Master Qingfeng, but he had no clue.

However, it seems that Master Qingfeng’s whereabouts are no longer important at the moment. All he needs to do now is to hide himself.

Thinking of this, Wei Hong immediately put away all his thoughts and began to prepare to make the elixir.

a few days later.

Just as Wei Hong had expected, upon learning that the Daye Dynasty had sent people to infiltrate the rear of their Chu State, the demon cultivators from various forces instantly became agitated and began to launch a large-scale search operation in major towns, wanting to find and eliminate all the spies of the Daye Dynasty.

The demon cultivators from all over the country were like locusts, causing unrest wherever they went. All the major forces also sent a large number of people to start a full-scale search and capture in various places.

However, these forces in Chu State did not know that the Daye Dynasty had only sent a total of twelve people to infiltrate Chu State.

From Wei Hong's team, only two people have escaped. It would be extremely difficult to hunt them down.

As long as they stay hidden, it will be very difficult for them to be exposed.

However, the major forces in the Chu State were unaware of this and spared no effort to find the spies of the Daye Dynasty.

Black Crow City was no exception. On the second day after Wei Hong returned to the city, a large-scale manhunt was officially launched. The demon cultivators from several major forces in the city cooperated to search everywhere in the city.

Moreover, above each of the city gates, there was a black precious mirror hung.

This mirror is called the Miaoyin Treasure Mirror. It is a special magical tool that can reveal illusions and concealment methods. It is most suitable for searching for enemies.

Anyone entering or leaving the city gate who is suspected by the Miaoyin Mirror will be arrested immediately.

If they resist, they will be besieged by all the evil cultivators in the city.

For a moment, the entire Black Crow City became a little nervous.

However, Wei Hong, the person involved, did not panic at all, but seemed extremely calm.

Firstly, he had strong confidence in his [Thousand Faces Illusion Technique] which he had cultivated to the ultimate level.

Secondly, he had no intention of entering or leaving the city gate.

He only goes between two places every day. Apart from going to Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce to make pills, he returns to his residence to practice. Apart from that, he doesn't go anywhere else and is very low-key.

In this way, the risk of exposure is naturally minimized.

Even in the Chamber of Commerce, if other alchemists occasionally talked to him, he would just respond politely. If the topic involved the current situation, he would just casually deal with it and leave immediately on the pretext of making alchemy.

In this way, Wei Hong's life became monotonous and mechanical.

But he would occasionally go to Juxianlou to drink tea and listen to any new gossip.

This was also to avoid arousing other people's suspicion. After all, he had often gone to Juxianlou to drink tea before. If he suddenly stopped going now, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, Wei Hong had made preparations in advance. He knew from the beginning that this operation would not be simple, so he prepared a way out for himself early on. Now, relying on his legitimate identity as the exclusive alchemist of Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce, he has avoided many searches.

Moreover, he has been staying in the Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce to refine pills, so there is no risk of being exposed in the short term.

This also made Wei Hong breathe a sigh of relief, and at this moment he was very glad for his cautious behavior.

"If I didn't have this identity now, I'd be hard to say whether I would be exposed or not!"

"Don't worry about anything else for now, just stay hidden and protect yourself first!"

"If Master Qingfeng doesn't send me any news within half a year, I will find a way to return to the Daye Dynasty!"

Wei Hong secretly made a decision in his heart, and then began to hide with peace of mind!
