New and dark light years

Chapter 107 It’s Him

"I don't have any solid evidence." Bai Yunfei said with a wry smile, "That's why I wanted to come here and ask you what kind of person Eunuch Qi is."

Li Lin said, "I suggest you report this matter to the county magistrate immediately...Eunuch Qi is an official sent by the imperial court to oversee the temple. Although his rank is not high, his reports reach the emperor directly. Moreover, this is a matter concerning the altar of the True Lord in the temple, which is a serious matter."

Bai Yunfei nodded, turned and left.

Li Lin sighed. He felt that the entire city of Jin had been infiltrated by the people of Yuecheng like a sieve.

But it's normal to think about it. Yue County is right next door. Qin Tuo is the king of Champa. If he wants to develop and succeed in his rebellion, Jin County is an obstacle he cannot avoid.

If they wanted to march north, they must first capture Tianjin, then Guicheng, and connect the three major granaries in southern Xinjiang into a horizontal line.

Otherwise, there is no way to compete with the Central Plains.

Li Lin returned home and began to prepare his things for going out. He had a premonition that he had to set off again.

There is no way around it. Since I have chosen the profession of spirit hunter, I have to shoulder certain responsibilities.

As he expected, half an hour later, the bailiff informed him to go to the county government office.

After arriving at the court, we waited for a while and Huang Yan and the others were almost there.

Except for Zhao Xiaohu... he went back to the village and couldn't get here immediately.

Huang Yan was wearing casual clothes today. I guess he was in a hurry, so he didn't care about his image.

"I just sent people to the temple to check, and Eunuch Qi has disappeared." Huang Yan's expression was a little grim. "According to the clues provided by Patrol Officer Bai Yunfei, he saw Eunuch Qi secretly meeting with some men in black behind the temple last night."

Everyone looked at Bai Yunfei, somewhat curious as to why he was going to the temple in the middle of the night.

Bai Yunfei looked a little embarrassed and said, "Last night, I was thinking about how to defeat the enemy with sword moves. I couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked around. I accidentally walked near the Four Wonderful True Lords Temple and saw that scene."

"I don't know why Eunuch Qi fled, or who he contacted." Huang Yan snorted, "But if he escaped after the incident, there must be a reason. Shi Dutou, you will take thirty local soldiers. You are allowed to use war horses and the imperial powder. Pursue Eunuch Qi from the official road. If you encounter him, arrest him immediately. If he resists, you can kill him on the spot."

Shi Dutou clasped his fists and said he would obey your order.

"All spirit hunters, obey Su Huafang's instructions and pursue through the small and secret paths."

Su Huafang stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, I've been feeling a little unwell these past couple of days. How about letting Bai Zhiwei take care of me?"

Huang Yan nodded: "Yes!"

Everyone set out immediately.

Because we had to take small paths and main roads, the roads were generally quite rugged, so we walked and did not ride horses.

The seven people used the light body technique and after leaving the county town, they immediately chased in the direction of Yuecheng.

No one spoke along the way, even Bai Bufan, who usually loved to chat, kept silent.

They traveled for eight hours a day and only slept for about three hours.

Even so, it took eight days of walking before they found a clue ahead.

"Fresh footprints, three people." Yan Han lay on the ground, looked at the ground for a while, and said, "They should be not far away, but I don't know if it is Eunuch Qi and others."

Bai Yunfei continued, "A few days ago, I saw Eunuch Qi meeting with two men in black."

"Keep chasing."

Night soon fell, and the seven people moved together. The red light emitted by the white jade plates on their bodies formed a huge ball of light, which was extremely dazzling. Although it made Huang Gui dare not approach easily, it could be seen from miles away.

After chasing for a while, they saw a flame in front of them, which quickly went out.

"They've discovered us and are putting out the fire." Ding Yingqiu shouted excitedly.

"It's useless." Bai Zhiwei laughed and said, "So what if the fire is extinguished? They are definitely in the circle of Yujie fans... Eunuch Qi doesn't have the White Jade Token, so he can't run around. He will just stay where he is."

Everyone quickly chased after him.

As they were approaching their target, the fire started burning again.

Now everyone saw it clearly.

Inside the circle of blue Imperial Boundary powder, there stood Eunuch Qi and two men in black. Everyone entered the circle of Imperial Boundary powder, forming a circle that surrounded them.

Eunuch Qi looked around, sighed, and said in a shrill voice, "I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly."

Su Huafang took two steps forward and asked, "Eunuch Qi, why... where are you going?"

"You've all been chasing me, how could you not know where I'm going? Of course, Yue County."

"You've been in Yulin County for over twenty years, and you're about to... retire. Why are you still going with those who are plotting rebellion?"

Eunuch Qi laughed heartily, his voice so shrill it made people feel uncomfortable. "Enfant? I've been in the temple for over twenty years. I was originally promised a monthly stipend of one or two ounces of silver, but do you know how much I've actually gotten?"

Everyone frowned.

"Three hundred coins!"

Bai Zhiwei said angrily, "Impossible, County Master Huang never defaults on paying his subordinates their monthly salaries."

"The position of Temple Attendant is directly under the Inner Palace." Eunuch Qi sneered, "County Magistrate Huang is indeed an honest official, but he didn't pay me."

Ding Yingqiu is a woman and is more sentimental: "For more than 20 years, I only have 300 wen a month. How can I live?"

"Hehehe!" Eunuch Qi laughed. "I didn't intend to be your enemy. I just followed these two away. Why don't you let me go? If I really had any intentions of harming anyone, I would have done it long ago over the past twenty years."

Some people thought this made sense.

Su Huafang said, "Don't be fooled by him. He's now defecting to the Qin family of Yuecheng, and he'll become our enemy sooner or later. Besides, it's not that he doesn't want to take action, but he was caught by patrol officer Bai Yunfei, so he didn't have the chance."

Eunuch Qi looked over and said angrily, "Boy Su, you're the only one who talks too much."

A man in black laughed and said, "I told you, just kill them and it's over. Seven soul hunters are no match for the two of us brothers."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he rushed directly towards Li Lin because they were closest to each other.

The opponent was holding an iron mace and moving at a very fast pace.

Li Lin took a step back and thrust out with his spear. Although the speed was fast, there was no sound at all.

Just this one shot stopped the opponent from approaching.

The man stepped back and said in surprise, "Spear Intentions... Are you really a spirit hunter, not a warrior?"

"He is the Spirit Hunter. I was watching when he formed a bond with the Tree Fairy Lady."

"Is he the one who has a bond with the Tree Fairy?" asked the man in black.

"Correct."

"Then take him back." The man in black said with a sinister grin, "The King of Qin will surely reward me handsomely."

Li Lin subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Eunuch Qi said, "I will separate them. Whether you can catch that kid depends on your own ability."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

The spirit hunters were all experienced people. When they heard the conversation between the two, they immediately began to approach.

But at this moment, Eunuch Qi folded his hands in front of him and then suddenly pushed out with both palms.

"The sea is boundless!"

A huge ball of vital energy appeared in front of Eunuch Qi, and it surged and spread out, just like a tsunami, pressing towards everyone.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

Then they fled in all directions.

They were really dispersed by Eunuch Qi.
