secret dice.

Chapter 759

Suddenly enveloped by a strange current of water, Deng Qian panicked. However, she couldn't make a sound in the water. Her feet were lifted off the ground by the current, and she had no strength to struggle. Even the qi in her body was extinguished by the strange current, leaving her with no means of resistance.

But the water was even more powerful than that. It entered Deng Qian's mouth, nostrils, eyes, ears, and even the pores of her entire body. Before long, it was completely inside Deng Qian's body. No longer enveloped by the water, Deng Qian stopped struggling and fell silent.

"This is..." Luo Jun, who was observing from the shadows, frowned. He did not intervene to save her because he could tell that Wu Run had no intention of killing her. Although it seemed that Wu Run had transformed into a liquid and invaded Deng Qian's body, Deng Qian's life was not threatened and her vital signs were even quite stable.

After the water on her body completely disappeared, Deng Qian slowly raised her head, looked down at her hands, and moved her joints, seemingly familiarizing herself with her body.

She was no longer Deng Qian... Luo Jun could tell that the current Deng Qian was completely different from before, both in temperament and demeanor. Clearly, the woman impersonating Sophia had not only invaded her body, but had also taken control of it.

Then, "Deng Qian" swaggered into the back mountain of the academy and arrived at the location of the [Martial World] gate. Since she was an explorer intending to enter the [Martial World], no one stopped her.

As for Luo Jun, the restrictions were even greater. He wasn't on the list of those entering the [Martial World] this time, and even if he revealed his identity, it would be difficult for him to enter smoothly.

Thinking of this, he immediately contacted Su Manchen.

"You said you're going to the martial arts world?" Su Manchen asked.

"Yes, the target you asked me to track is about to flee to the Martial World. I can't explain the details right now, so Dean, you'd better help me coordinate something as soon as possible. Otherwise, once she escapes to the Martial World, she'll be free to roam."

The tracking artifact given by Su Manchen is indeed useful, but its main function is still focused on concealment. After all, it is only of rare quality, so the tracking accuracy and range are very limited.

With Luo Jun's agility and perception, he can make up for these shortcomings, but if the other party passes through the interdimensional gate and the tracking signal is temporarily cut off, it will be very difficult to find them again if they escape far away during this time.

"Go ahead and go." To Luo Jun's surprise, Su Manchen replied casually, "I've already included you in this [Martial Arts] list."

"You knew she was going to the Martial World all along?" Luo Jun's eyes lit up as he realized that he had handed over the Eternal Virus in the Martial World. Coupled with the zombie incident in Shannan Town, the Yuan Cultivation Society must have known that Gong Shiyue had hidden something in the Martial World. Therefore, in the eyes of the Yuan Cultivation Society, the mastermind behind the scenes must have gone to the Martial World after rescuing Gong Shiyue.

"You don't need to ask for details, just go quickly," Su Manchen replied.

Luo Jun immediately set off for the gate of the Martial World. Just as Su Manchen had said, he had a smooth journey and arrived at the gate without any obstacles.

The tracking signal disappeared two minutes ago. The other party should have just passed through the door. Considering that she is still disguised as Deng Qian, she shouldn't be able to leave so quickly.

With that thought in mind, Luo Jun passed through the [Martial World] gate, and the signal indeed reappeared.

The signal wasn't far away; it was in the women's changing room on the other side...

While keeping an eye on the signal's location, Luo Jun changed into Bainamen's uniform and walked out of the dressing room.

"The other person headed straight for the door as soon as they left the changing room. Very decisive." Luo Jun kept his distance and followed them out of Bai Na Men. He then put on an invisibility talisman and followed "Deng Qian" to a secluded spot in the mountains.

Deng Qian stood still, her body suddenly convulsed, and then water seeped out from her seven orifices and pores all over her body. This water gathered in mid-air and solidified into a human shape, which quickly turned back into Wu Run's appearance.

As for Deng Qian, she fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.

Seeing Wu Run leave, Luo Jun frowned and did not rush to follow. Instead, he stayed where he was and continued to watch over the unconscious Deng Qian.

After a while, Deng Qian got up, her eyes somewhat unfocused. She leaned against a tree, shook her head, and slowly her eyes regained their focus. She looked around, but didn't seem surprised by her situation. She just frowned slightly and turned to walk back.

"Senior Sister Deng Qian?"

A call made Deng Qian turn around. When she saw who was behind her, a look of surprise finally appeared on her face: "Luo Jun? When did you come to [Wulin]?"

"I just arrived, just taking a stroll in this forest to clear my head," Luo Jun said with a smile. "But what about you, Senior Sister? What brings you to this deep mountain forest?"

"I..." Deng Qian rubbed her head, vaguely recalling, "I just finished my vacation and went back to [Wulin] for my shift. I guess I've been in the main world for too long and I'm feeling a bit out of sorts, so I'm planning to go into the forest to gather some medicinal herbs..."

Luo Jun raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then where are your medicinal herbs?"

“Oh, medicinal herbs…” Deng Qian looked down at herself, but couldn’t find any herbs. She suddenly realized, “I just arrived and haven’t picked any yet.”

"I see..." Luo Jun nodded: "Then Senior Sister Deng, you must have brought a package to hold the medicinal herbs and tools for gathering them, right?"

“Tools and packages…” Deng Qian frowned, then slapped her forehead: “Look at my memory, I didn’t bring anything, what am I supposed to gather… I’ll go back to the sect to get them right now.”

"Then you should go back quickly," Luo Jun said with a smile.

"Oh, okay..." Deng Qian seemed a little dazed. She held her head and slowly walked back towards the sect.

As for Luo Jun, he looked in the direction where Wu Run had left earlier.

"So much time has passed, it's long past the detection range..."

However, Luo Jun was not in a hurry. Instead, he leisurely walked back to Tongda Town, came to a dry well on the east side of the town, jumped in, counted the broken bricks on the well wall, and finally pulled out a piece and took out an oilcloth bag.

Upon opening it, one finds a thick stack of silver notes inside.

When Luo Jun came to the martial arts world last time, he earned a large sum of silver notes through various means. Although most of it was used to pay for the safekeeping of the Eternal Heart, he still had quite a bit left when he left.

The explorers who are permanent members of the Baina Sect all have their own private lockers, where they can store their personal belongings when they leave and retrieve them when they return. However, as an intern, you can only use the temporary lockers, and the silver notes you receive must be handed over to the sect when you leave.

Luo Jun wasn't concerned about the money itself, but rather that Ailontan had been impersonating him and traveling with the main force, and due to the Spirit Gathering Gu, he appeared to be semi-paralyzed for a long time. This made it impossible for Luo Jun to explain the origin of the silver notes. Since it was still money, it seemed a waste to simply throw it away. So, Luo Jun decided to hide the silver notes somewhere while traveling alone.

"Fortunately, I haven't been discovered yet after all this time..." Luo Jun took the silver notes to Jubao Tower, exchanged them for some silver and copper coins, and then found a travel shop to buy a map of the Nine Provinces. As a transportation hub connecting the north and south, Tongda Town was able to sell maps of various places thanks to the powerful mobility of a large number of Yuan Qi cultivators. The maps were also extremely accurate, far exceeding the level of this era, and comparable to modern satellite mapping.

The map Luo Jun bought was the largest and most accurate one, and when rolled up, it was more than a person tall. He carried the map out of the shop, found a restaurant, booked a private room, ordered some food and drinks, spread the map on the floor, and ate while looking at it.

When the time was about right, Luo Jun peeled a sesame seed off the sesame seed cake and activated the Heavenly Secret Dice at the same time.

"Land where that woman is now!"

Two pairs of dice, one pair with 67 points and the other pair with 59 points.

Black and white reversed!
"Ding! Event difficulty: 100 points; final score: 95 + 5 points; event successful!"

As the notification sound rang out, Luo Jun flicked his wrist, sending the sesame seeds flying. They eventually landed lightly on a spot on the map.

Upon closer inspection, Luo Jun realized that this woman was over two hundred miles east of the Central Plains Mountains, and that she had impressive stamina.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to chase after her now. Even with something as small as a sesame seed, it could cover a range of thousands of meters on such a large map. The detection artifact given by Dean Su had a limited detection range. If the other party was still moving at high speed, it would still be difficult to find her just by knowing her current location. Even if he caught up to her location, it would be useless.

So Luo Jun wasn't in a hurry. He continued eating and drinking, and after a while, he flicked a sesame seed.

This time, its location is further east than before, and also a bit to the north, so it is indeed still moving.

The tracking artifact's effect lasts for 24 hours, so Luo Jun has plenty of time and isn't in a hurry.

And so, every now and then, Luo Jun would throw a sesame seed. Finally, after five rolls of the dice, the distance the woman had moved was noticeably shorter than the last time.

This seems to be the place. To be on the safe side, he waited a while and then dropped the sixth sesame seed, which landed in the same spot as the fifth.
Luo Jun looked at the landing point of the last two sesame seeds on the map. It was more than 2,000 miles away from the Zhongzhou Mountains. A little over 1,000 miles to the east was the territory of Qianzhou, where the headquarters of Jubaolou was located.

"They stopped before even reaching Qianzhou?" Luo Jun muttered, taking out his teleportation staff and using it to teleport to the coordinates.

After three seconds of chanting, Luo Jun's figure disappeared from the hotel room and appeared in a valley.

right here?

Luo Jun raised an eyebrow, took out the tracker, and saw that Wu Run's signal had reappeared.

Is it just ahead?

Luo Jun followed the signal and soon saw a cave. The signal indicated that the woman was inside the cave.

Luo Jun thought for a moment, then took out the Creation Chess, summoned Elontan and Gabriel, handed the Creation Chess to Elontan and asked them to guard outside the cave, and then walked into the cave himself.

The cave was dark, but with Luo Jun's eyesight, he could still see everything clearly. Soon he saw a woman sitting on a rock, who was Wu Run, who had previously disguised herself as Sophia.

"You've finally arrived," Wu Run smiled. "I thought I'd lost you."

In response to her words, Luo Jun laughed and said, "It seems you knew I would come?"

“You don’t seem too surprised, do you?” Wu Run looked at Luo Jun.

"You kidnapped Gong Shiyue simply for the Eternal Star," Luo Jun laughed. "She possessed crucial clues about the Eternal Star, but you should already know that those clues are no longer valid."

Wu Run frowned slightly, and Luo Jun smiled and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should also be surnamed Wu, right? Your given name is probably Wu Shui? No, no, no, that's a bit too awful for a girl. Wu Tao? That sounds a bit masculine... You wouldn't be called Wu Bo, would you?"

"My name is Wu Run!" Wu Run finally corrected him.

"That's a pretty good name," Luo Jun nodded.

"You already know my background?" Wu Run asked, frowning.

"I had some idea." Luo Jun chuckled. "When I saw you before, I felt that you looked somewhat familiar. Now that I think about it, you and two other people I've met before look somewhat alike."

"Two people?" Wu Run narrowed his eyes.

“One of them is a master I met in Qianzhou City more than half a year ago, named Wu Kong. He is also searching for the Eternal Star that Gong Shiyue has hidden.” Luo Jun held up two fingers. “As for the second one, his name is Wu Feng. He was one of the top four contestants in the Tianyuan Tournament not long ago. Now that I think about it, although these two and you are different in build, appearance, and gender, there is a certain similarity in your eyes and temperament…”

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence?" Wu Run scoffed.

“Before today, I hadn’t connected Wu Kong and Wu Feng,” Luo Jun said with a smile. “You’ve become the link between them.”

"You've set your sights on Gong Shiyue, which means you're likely on the same side as Wu Kong. But the ability you displayed to completely liquefy your body reminds me of Wu Feng when he fought Ling Yao. Except Wu Feng transformed into a gale, while you seem to have transformed into water."

"This ability is not the elemental incarnation of the elemental school. Although the form you exhibit is very similar to natural elements, it is essentially a mutated qi. In essence, it should be a magical technique of cultivating qi to the extreme so that it can affect the physical body. Compared to the elemental school, it is more like the martial arts school... Of course, I think it has reached the level of the mystical school."

"Your goal is the same as Wu Kong's, and your abilities are similar to Wu Feng's. These two also happen to have the surname Wu... So I'll make a bold guess that you should also have the surname Wu, and your name should be related to water."

Wu Run frowned: "Since you've guessed our identities, you should also have guessed that our real purpose isn't actually Gong Shiyue, right?"

Luo Jun chuckled: "Wu Kong already knew the item was in my hands, and he also knew I had stored it in the God of Wealth's treasure vault. Gong Shiyue is useless to you now. Your real target is actually me, isn't it?"

"From initially contacting Gong Shiyue to attract the prison's attention, to later deliberately kidnapping Gong Shiyue, it was all to lure me out, wasn't it?" Luo Jun sighed at this point.
"Unfortunately, I discovered it too late. I really didn't expect that you could even handle Dean Su!"
