The Spirit World

Chapter 517: Friends and Enemies Prediction
Emperor Long Xu looked at the note that Chang Yufeng left inside the lotus umbrella. The scratches on the note were so horrible, and the bloody words were even hideously crooked.

"Mr. Ning..." Emperor Long Xu whispered softly, slowly probing the piece of paper with his golden spiritual power. Soon, he looked at the woman in white lying in the RV with extreme shock.

Emperor Long Xu collected his expression, calmly rolled up the piece of paper, and slowly put it into the mechanism of the lotus umbrella.

"What's wrong? Long'er..." The princess looked at Emperor Long Xu, who laughed out loud instead. He helplessly put the lotus umbrella aside and patted it, saying, "The owner of this umbrella is really... exciting."

The princess squinted her eyes with interest and looked at Emperor Long Xu. "How dare you say that... Three days of confinement is not enough? You're imprisoning someone for no reason at such a young age! And in a small dark room..."

As she spoke, the princess grabbed Emperor Long Xu's earlobe and was about to pull it up. She then cursed with a little annoyance: "If you don't return this umbrella to the owner, you will be punished, Long'er!"

Emperor Long Xu begged for mercy quickly, his head following his ears. Although the princess did not really pinch him, he still walked up with his neck shrunk, shouting timidly: "Don't... I don't know who the owner is, otherwise I would have returned it to him long ago."

The princess let go of her hands, crossed her hands in front of her chest, turned her face away, snorted, and the ornaments on her chest jingled.

"I see you don't want to return it. Don't you get tired of playing with this new thing? I see you holding it and looking at it every day. What attracts you so much?"

"It's true... after all, it's just an umbrella..." Long Xudi touched his ears in dismay. He touched both ears, and goosebumps appeared on his hands out of fear, and they haven't subsided yet.

"Long'er, who did you get this umbrella from...If he knows your identity, it will be very bad for you. It will affect your image. It will hurt you and him." Longxu Gong watched the two siblings quarreling, touched his beard, looked at Longxu Emperor with some concern and said: "Although this can't be used as a useful handle, if someone with ulterior motives knows about it and uses it to threaten you, you will have a hard time explaining it."

"It's just making friends... I don't think it's a big deal." Long Xudi looked down at the umbrella, spread his hands, and lay down. He was barefoot, and his small body leaned on Elaine's hand. He looked at the ceiling of the RV and said thoughtfully: "If they dare to do this, let them come. I'm not afraid. It's just that I feel that he is not someone who will be threatened by others, so he should... don't worry."

"Him? Male or female? So, who is he?" The princess looked at Emperor Long Xu again. She turned her head, and the jewelry on her head jingled.

Long Xudi yawned, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly, and answered: "A man... Actually, I don't know who he is. I can only say that he is a very interesting boy."

"You will suffer sooner or later." The princess no longer cared about Emperor Long Xu. She looked at Lord Long Xu and asked, "After going to Fulan, do I have to go to Lastal immediately? Lord Long Xu."

"Yes, you have friends in Rastar. I believe that in your heart, you can trust them more than the Flying Eagles. I can feel at ease knowing they are protecting you." Lord Longxu nodded. He glanced at Kraft who was releasing information, not at the princess.

"Well, they are my good friends. If you can be with them, I think it can relieve your stress." The princess also nodded, closed her eyes and rested quietly.

From then on, the conversation in the carriage ended.

The princess and Emperor Longxu were resting, while Lord Longxu and Kraft were whispering messages.

The horse in their RV, a brown unicorn, trotted slowly among the crowd leaving the city. Chang Yufeng was looking for the characteristics of this horse; the brilliant light of its tail made it easy to find.

This brown unicorn doesn't look like a very unique mount, so it's not very eye-catching. The same goes for the RV, which is just an ordinary carriage without any convoy from the Chamber of Commerce following it. It doesn't seem to be a target for the Shadow Hunters.

It was obvious that the shadow hunters had already found their respective targets. It was now 1:25 in the afternoon. According to Longxu Gong's instructions, the shadow hunters would always keep an eye on people leaving the city. Although they didn't know what the shadow hunters looked like, anyone who covered their faces would be suspicious.

The Eagles disguised as pedestrians did not deliberately protect the brown unicorn carriage, but it was not easy for them to stay away from it.

They kept an eye on the people around them, including the citizens who actually received the signal to flee Wenti County.

This plan allows ten false and confusing information to leave the city. They are all real people wearing the armor of the Flying Eagles as coachmen. They are the first to leave the city, which will definitely disperse the strength of the Shadow Hunters. But this does not mean that the Shadow Hunters will no longer focus on the city. Kraft and Longxu Gong are very vigilant. They predict that the Shadow Hunters will definitely enter the city to test the truth. This is obvious. If the tactics of delaying time are to succeed, the information war must be fought to the extreme.

The Eagle Team has a large number of people, and the intelligence brought by the scouts suggests that there is a team of Gundam helping out among the citizens entering and leaving the city - a team of three Shadow Hunters, which means that a fierce battle is inevitable.

It is extremely dangerous and even unwise to put Elaine, Emperor Longxu and the princess together, but this is also the reason why Lord Longxu is in charge personally. The most powerful fighter, Kraft, is also in this carriage, so he has the confidence to make such a strategic deployment.

At this moment, a pure white horse was slowly approaching the brown unicorn carriage.

Lin'er was intoxicated by the faint plum blossom scent on Chang Yufeng's body. Her face was slightly red as she felt the warmth brought by Chang Yufeng's chest. There was a big difference in their heights. For an adult male, this girl who was only as tall as his waist was so petite.

Although they are all in their early twenties, oh no, for Chang Yufeng, the age she can actually calculate now is actually more than... several hundred years old.

Now, Chang Yufeng's care for Lin'er is more like the love of a brother. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but the current Chang Yufeng can be said to have a special relationship with Lin'er, no, with Lin'er in a certain period of time, so his feelings for Lin'er are more sincere, without any concerns, which Lin'er is unaware of.

But, how could anyone not like Chang Yufeng at this moment?
The handsome young man in black was in his prime, looking heroic and dashing. Lin'er was as beautiful as if she was bathed in spring sunshine. Even though she was staring ahead, she didn't notice that Yun Zong was blocking her view.

Because of his tall stature, Chang Yufeng could see the peculiar tail of the brown unicorn at a glance. He pulled Yun Zong's reins, and Yun Zong silently slowed down his pace. Chang Yufeng's black robe slowly fell to the knees of the white horse.

Chang Yufeng concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, and even now he felt a hint of nervousness.

When Chun mentioned the brown unicorn, she mentioned that Kraft and Longxugong were both in charge, and Elaine also made it clear that they were in the carriage.

This meant that he had to rescue Elaine, who was still unaware of the situation, from Kraft and Longxugong, and escape.

He did not think about covering his face, because although his current appearance was indeed the adult appearance of the legitimate "Young Master of Bailing Mountain" and "Chang Yufeng", he could actually be regarded as an ordinary Chinese.

That is to say, for Longxu Gong and Kraft, an unidentified person who came to "rob" Elaine would most likely be regarded as a shadow hunter at the same time, and would not be entangled in any connection with Bailing Mountain of the Ether Empire.

Although this doesn't matter, it's still something he needs to pay attention to. Because of his current identity, he is not so afraid of being hunted down, but Lin'er is different, so he needs to protect Lin'er's appearance from being exposed.

He simply thought of not revealing his current appearance.

He raised his right hand slightly, pressed his middle finger and ring finger with his thumb, stretched out his little finger and index finger straight, and whispered [Xianlingdao: Mystery of All Things], and white light silently swirled on the two people. This spiritual method can conceal one's appearance. In layman's terms, it means that one's appearance will become an extremely ordinary face in the eyes of others - small eyes, big mouth, thick lips, flat nose, etc.

This Taoist method can still be seen through by people with powerful spiritual power, but it is more concealed because it does not tell you directly that you do not look like this like wearing a mask. Most people cannot imagine that a "real face" is a disguise.

In a very secretive, white light that was like sunlight, with no difference, Chang Yufeng and Lin'er turned into other people in the dim light. Chang Yufeng slowly approached the carriage with the reins, and Yun Zong became inconspicuous among the group of strange mounts and the crowd. Yun Zong's mist-shaped ponytail swayed lightly, fanning the two masters gently. In the hot summer, Yun Zong's golden eyes also stared straight at the brown unicorn. The brown unicorn seemed to feel its gaze from behind, turned its head, and whinnied in understanding.

This surprised the coachman of the Flying Eagles team, and he looked around in panic. In the city of Wenti County, where everyone was afraid of enemies, this was not a good move. Kraft looked at the steel wire in his hand in shock, and almost said the word "alert".

But Longxugong held him down, and he shouted softly through the door to the coachman in an old voice: "Coachman... my old bones can't stand being frightened. If the horse is frightened, you should just go slowly, slowly, don't be in a hurry, don't scare my old bones again. Slow down, slow down."

His voice startled the coachman and he broke into a cold sweat, but he soon recovered, nodded, and said with an awkward smile: "Yes, sir, I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay." Longxu Gong answered in the carriage, looked at Kraft, and then closed his eyes.

Kraft also continued to pull the wire. It can be seen that although Kraft has been through many battles, he is still very nervous because the princess and Emperor Longxu are around. Compared with the calmness of Longxu Gong, he still looks a little immature.

He exhaled, his military uniform rising and falling, and he continued to carefully detect the movements around him with the invisible steel wire.

Chang Yufeng was aware of Yun Zong's actions, which made him very puzzled. Yun Zong seemed to be helping him confirm that the brown unicorn was the horse he needed, and the people that Chun mentioned were in the inconspicuous RV.

Chang Yufeng felt Yun Zong's cleverness and gently touched its proud head. Yun Zong and the brown unicorn were walking parallel to each other on the roads on both sides, almost in the same direction.

The Eagles disguised as citizens were confused, but without Kraft's order, they couldn't make any moves. Compared to this small move, there were more terrifying shadow hunters that needed their action.

They can't alert the enemy.

But Chang Yufeng can, which is why he praised Yun Zong and caressed Yun Zong.

To be honest, if he wants to save Elaine, he must lure out the shadow hunters who may be hiding in the crowd or hiding in the surroundings. This way, he can create a controllable "chaos" in the situation and achieve the goal of profiting from the conflict between the two.

For a person with "ordinary" appearance, the facial features that can be obtained are too "ordinary", and the suspicion will become smaller, or even "inconspicuous".

With the blessing of the Mystery of All Things, Chang Yufeng would naturally not be suspected.

Who would have thought that it was a horse named Yunzong that scared the brown unicorn?

However, Chang Yufeng still has to be careful. There are many people leaving the city now, but it does not mean that there will be many more after they leave. When the targets are too scarce, even if someone does not look like an enemy, he will definitely be an enemy.

With this idea in mind, Chang Yufeng did not dare to go too close. At Lin'er's reminder, Chang Yufeng still maintained his original speed and moved forward. He could pretend to wait or rest at the south gate, and then catch up, so as not to be quickly suspected.

If there are enough people following Longxugong's vehicle, it will be easy to reduce suspicion. If there are few enough people, she will activate the Xianlingdao to track them, so that they will not be out of their sight.

However, although this idea was not wrong, he did not know which one was Longxu Gong's subordinate and which one was the real Shadow Hunter next to Longxu Gong's carriage. He could not turn his head left and right to observe carefully, as that would be too obvious. If the Shadow Hunters guessed that he was from the Eagle Team and the Eagle Team guessed that he was a Shadow Hunter, he would be in trouble.

In that case, it would not be the case that the fisherman benefits from the fight between the crane and the clam, but that he would be attacked from both sides and suffer unbearable pain.

However, there is still one person who can be observed flexibly, and that is Lin'er. At this time, Lin'er's petite figure and tiny movements on horseback that are difficult to observe become particularly important.

She wanted to quietly tell Chang Yufeng about the people who looked suspicious to her.

She turned her head slightly and observed the citizens leaving the city. She reminded Chang Yufeng: "On the left, at 11 o'clock, there is a blue-haired woman who is very calm. She is obviously different from the others leaving the city. She is wearing a white robe and is worth noting."

"At nine o'clock, there is a blond man wearing a warrior's cloak eating an apple leisurely. He looks very leisurely and worth paying attention to."

Lin Er turned around and provided a piece of information through Chang Yufeng's black clothes: "In the direction we came from, there is a black-haired man riding a black horse. He should be a warrior and worth paying attention to."

"Why..." Chang Yufeng asked softly with some surprise.

"Because he's staring at me." Lin'er answered quickly.

Chang Yufeng turned around in surprise. At the six o'clock position, he saw the black-haired man at a glance. He looked at him without hesitation. When their eyes met, Chang Yufeng turned his head away without saying anything else.

He should have thought of it earlier. Whether it was the Flying Eagle Team led by Longxu Gong or the Shadow Hunters who came to plunder, there were always hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Careful observation was basically a necessary ability.

He frowned and continued to listen to Lin'er's story.

"At the same time, at four o'clock, two women, one with red hair and one with blue hair, were walking forward, talking and laughing. Their laughter was so out of place here that it scared me a little."

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng nodded.

Escaping from Wenti County, leaving Wenti County, my hometown where I had lived for so long, I shouldn’t be laughing so happily.

"At the three o'clock and two o'clock directions, there are people wearing identical black robes riding lizard dragons in a serious manner. I can sense the murderous aura coming from them. They are not here with good intentions."

Lin'er turned her head and raised it, only to look at Chang Yufeng's chin. The man whom she thought was almost an enemy had finished speaking.

Chang Yufeng nodded seriously, Lin'er also nodded and turned around.

Around here, it’s hard to tell who is friend or foe.

But the only thing that is certain is that once the time comes, a fierce battle is inevitable.
