Chapter 1040 Contact, Mark!
Three months passed in a flash.

During this long and thrilling time, Wei Hong, relying on his identity as the exclusive alchemist of Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce, skillfully maneuvered under the noses of the evil cultivators and temporarily avoided the pursuit.

Fortunately, his [Thousand Faces Illusion Technique] did not have any flaws, and no one could see through it unless they were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, he has been living a monotonous and mechanical life for the past three months.

On this day, Wei Hong finished a day's alchemy work as usual and prepared to return to his residence.

However, when he was passing through an alley that he had to pass through in the city, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar mark out of the corner of his eye.

The mark appeared right in front of the alley, only about ten feet away from him.

After seeing this signal, Wei Hong's heart was shocked, but his pace did not change at all, and he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

His right hand also moved slightly, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal at all.

After walking a few steps, he came right next to the mark, and his right hand swung across the mark.

In an instant, an invisible light silently penetrated into his cuffs and disappeared.

Wei Hong continued to walk forward, as if it was just a normal thing.

However, his heart was filled with waves at this moment, and was far from as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Obviously, he had guessed who had left the signal.

This was the secret contact mark that the six of them had secretly agreed upon before. The person who could leave the mark at this moment was most likely Master Qingfeng who escaped with serious injuries. Apart from him, no one else survived.

"Sure enough, he's here. If he doesn't show up again, I'll be considering fleeing back to the Daye Dynasty!"

After Wei Hong felt a surge of excitement, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to leave a mark for him means that Master Qingfeng is still safe for now. This is also good news for him. At least he doesn't have to fight alone.

Temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his mind, he quickly returned to his residence.

After activating the concealing formation, Wei Hong began to check the information in the ball of light.

After a moment, he frowned and muttered, "Ask me a meeting? Has Master Qingfeng recovered from his injuries? Or has he been captured by someone, and they are trying to lure me out?"

According to the news from Master Qingfeng, he wanted to arrange a meeting with Wei Hong at Bixiajian, one hundred miles outside the city, three days later. The two sides would carry out the previously unfinished meeting ceremony and then exchange intelligence information.

However, after reading the message from Master Qingfeng, Wei Hong couldn't help but feel a little suspicious at the first moment.

He was worried that Master Qingfeng had been captured, and that the information he passed to him might be intended to lure him out.

However, Wei Hong thought for a moment with a gloomy face, and immediately took out six copper coins from his storage bag.

"Whether there is a ghost or not, we can tell by fortune-telling!"

A hint of determination and confidence flashed across Wei Hong's eyes, and he stretched out his hand and gently threw the coin.

He activated the magic power in his body and at the same time secretly recited the mantra of Liuren Dongwei Shu.

The next moment, six copper coins were placed on the ground to form a special hexagram.

After seeing the meaning of this hexagram, Wei Hong was surprised and asked, "No danger? Isn't this a trick to lure the snake out of its hole?"

The hexagram shows that there is no danger in this meeting with Master Qingfeng.

Wei Hong was still very confident in his divination and deduction abilities. This also meant that Master Qingfeng was not in any danger at this time.

So he heaved a sigh of relief and said to himself, "It seems that Master Qingfeng should be safe now. This news was indeed brought by him."

"In that case, I have to go to this meeting!"

Now, he and Master Qingfeng are the only ones left in the team of six who have survived. Regardless of whether or not to continue the mission, they must meet first and exchange intelligence information before making a decision.

Therefore, Wei Hong made a decision quickly.

Three days later.

Wei Hong disguised himself and left the city again, and nothing unexpected happened this time.

He already had experience, and he didn't plan to send his real body to the meeting this time.

So he found a hidden cave fifty miles away from Bixiajian, first set up a concealment formation, and then sent out another paper man to go to Bixiajian in his place.

"No matter what Master Qingfeng intends to do, and no matter if he has any tricks, as long as my real body does not appear, I will not fall into danger."

A cold light flashed in Wei Hong's eyes, and he immediately controlled the paper man to fly quietly towards Bixiajian.

Soon, the distance of dozens of miles was covered in the blink of an eye.

Bixiajian is located in a forest. A stream more than two meters wide flows through the forest, forming a stream more than a hundred meters long in the middle, hence the name Bixiajian.

After Wei Hong controlled the paper man to block the sky above Bixiajian, he immediately landed.

Then the paper man's eyes began to scan continuously, and soon found the mark that Master Qingfeng had deliberately left.

"It's really here!"

Wei Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately controlled the paper man to walk towards the location of the mark.

puff!
His figure directly passed through a layer of invisible light shield, and the scene in front of him was no different from before, but after passing through the invisible light shield, an old man appeared in front of him.

Wei Hong took a closer look and found that the old man was undoubtedly Master Qingfeng.

At this time, Master Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged on a rock, but his face still looked a little pale, as if he had not yet recovered from a serious injury. Moreover, when the paper man came in, he coughed lightly twice.

Seeing Wei Hong appear, Master Qingfeng immediately showed a trace of joy on his face, and then took the initiative to greet him: "Fellow Daoist Mu, you finally showed up!"

Wei Hong manipulated the paper figurine and bowed to Master Qingfeng, saying, "Greetings, Taoist Qingfeng. Has your injury healed?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qingfeng's face darkened, and he sighed, "He has not fully recovered yet, and needs to rest for a while. However, we don't have much time left, otherwise I wouldn't have passed the message to Fellow Daoist Mu so quickly!"

"Not much time left? What does Master Qingfeng mean?" Wei Hong's face changed slightly and he asked immediately.

But Master Qingfeng did not explain immediately. Instead, he said sadly, "We didn't know why the news leaked out before, which led to the encirclement and suppression by the demon cultivators when we gathered. As a result, my two junior brothers and fellow Taoists Xu Qin were killed."

"Now, there are only you and me left out of the six."

"The operation has not even started yet, but we have already suffered such an end. I don't know if it is our misfortune or caused by carelessness. I can't figure it out!"

Master Qingfeng looked sad, angry and melancholy at this moment, and it was obvious that he could not get over the siege he had suffered from the evil cultivators before.

Wei Hong didn't know what to say when he heard this, and the scene suddenly became quiet!
