Chapter 403 Awakening
Night, Yifang Bridge.
As one of the few officially recognized night markets in Beijing, Yifangqiao is often lively until midnight.
But after midnight, the artists on the overpass also closed their stalls and left. Only a few homeless poor artists would just spread out straw mats and sleep in plain clothes.
Of course, they are not alone. There are many beggars on this overpass, who are always their neighbors.
Wu Yan has been here for several days.
He has been waiting, but he doesn’t know what he is waiting for.
After a few days, the money he earned from begging was barely enough to buy two meals a day. Of course, these so-called meals were often just dry steamed buns.
The local "Beggars' Gang" also came to cause trouble for him. This so-called Beggars' Gang was not a powerful sect, but just gangsters who divided the begging territory. Wu Yan didn't even show his skills. , he just showed his cruelty and bit off one person's nose without fear of injury or pain, and those people never dared to trouble him again.
But waiting like this... is not an option.
Wu Yan took out a cold steamed bun from his arms and gnawed it, deciding in his heart that if he still couldn't wait for anything for three more days, he would leave.
But at this moment, there were some footsteps coming from the end of Yifang Bridge.
He was slightly refreshed.
As a well-trained killer, identifying people by listening to their voices is the most basic skill.
How many people there are, whether they are male or female, tall, short, fat or thin, whether they are practicing or not, he can get a general idea by moving his ear.
And at this time... there were four people who came over, all of whom had a certain level of cultivation. Three of them were clearly warriors, and the other should be a magician. As for the level, it was difficult to judge, but they were not stronger than themselves.
Are these just a few practitioners passing by, or are they?
Wu Yan swallowed the steamed bun and lay on his side on the straw mat, turning his back to hide his face.
Soon, those people arrived at the center of the overpass.
"They are really missing..."
He heard those people stand still, and then whispered: "What's going on? Where did they go?"
"They can't be dead, right? Can Wu Yan kill them? Isn't that right? Maybe." Another person said solemnly.
Wu Yan is in high spirits.
They are the ones I have to wait for!
Those people were still talking in a low voice, and they seemed not to shy away from the other people sleeping on the overpass: "But this is unreasonable. If they died, the outsiders would definitely know about it, but now there is no such thing. No feedback..."
"Someone blocked Tianji?"
A female voice said in a low voice: "You guys keep watch, I'll investigate."
The next moment, a hazy feeling came over Wu Yan. It felt like my five senses had been forcibly blunted to the extreme. When I opened my eyes, I could only see a dark blur. I could still hear the voices of those people in my ears, but there was only a very light hum.
Obviously, this is the key point, and I finally decided to avoid others.
But... this has little effect on Wu Yan.
He pretended to turn over in his deep sleep, turned to face those people, opened his eyes a crack, condensed the inner energy of his body into the acupoints around his eyes, and secretly broke through the spell's restriction on vision.
He didn't need to listen, he only needed to see - looking at the moving lips of those people, he could know what these people were talking about.
"There are no traces at all..."
The only woman among the four frowned: "Of course, it is also possible that the person who did it was too powerful and I couldn't find it."
"If someone really killed Yin Xiucai and Old Man Wu, it would be normal for that person to deceive you..." A man said: "But that person will never be Wu Yan."
"Someone is helping Wu Yan."
Another person said: "Who could it be?"
"This is not a matter for us to judge." The woman said: "Go back to the village. ...The murders in Xiqing Town were very loud a few days ago. Even in the patrol camp, there were people who wanted to kill people to make money, but Fu Qingzhou killed them and threw them at the yamen gate...Now those who are on duty are more nervous than the last one. , let’s be careful.”
“Speaking of this.”
A man asked: “Why don’t you arrange someone to kill Fu Qingzhou and the others?”
"Not sure." Another shook his head and said: "But even Yuan Ji is dead, I'm afraid no one in the village can do this, not to mention Fu Qingzhou's background is very big, I guess some members of the staff have given up on it. "That's right, it's better to concentrate on dealing with Wu Yan... I don't know where that kid went." One of them sighed: "The people stationed near the Nebula Chamber of Commerce strongholds in Beijing didn't see him, nor did they see him leaving the city... ..."
"It's not difficult to find him."
The woman said slowly: "But now that we have found him, we can't kill him except exposing ourselves. What's the point of doing it under the sun and consuming more manpower?"
"Okay, let's go back..." A man waved his hand: "Oh, I don't know when we will be able to go back to Wuli Village? After passing this level, follow Yuanwai and soar into the sky..."
As the people spoke, they gradually walked away, and the spell covering the overpass was also unknowingly removed.
Wu Yan lay on the spot, his brows furrowed.
He read the lips and roughly understood the situation. He knew that there was an "outside member" who was constantly sending people to hunt him down. The scholar and the old man before were sent by him, and among this outside member There is also a "Wuli Village" under his command...but he is not sure whether the name of this "village" is "Wuli".
It might be a "fox", it might be a "lake carp", it might be...
But it doesn't matter anymore, Wu Yan already has a direction.
He suddenly figured out something.
After leaving Xiaoyu Pavilion, he has been on the run. He fled to Xiqing Town, fled to the capital, and hid on the overpass pretending to be a beggar, waiting for three months to pass...
But continuing like this is simply not an option.
He clearly knows how good Xiaoyu Pavilion is at finding people, and he also knows how strong your determination is if you want to kill someone.
Escape, avoid, how long can it last?
The scholar and the old man who tracked me before were at least the eighth level of cultivation. What next? Will there be people from the Cave Heaven Realm coming to hunt him down?
It is not absolutely safe in the capital. Even if you really enter the Nebula Chamber of Commerce and report your identity, will the Nebula Chamber of Commerce be able to protect you? I'm afraid not necessarily... They are just businessmen, not righteous knights.
Does such passive escape make sense?
What's more, this is not something he is good at.
What Wu Yan is good at is hiding, tracking... and killing.
His eyes gradually became cold.
In this case, he should do what he is good at.
If someone wants to kill you, kill them first.
No matter who the member is, whether he is a respected person or someone else, as long as he wants to kill himself, then he will kill him first.
If you cut off these people, you will be truly safe!
No matter what kind of "village" it is, at least we have a direction. Let's chase them, go check them, find them, and then kill them all!
Wu Yan watched the four people disappear at the end of the overpass, and he had a plan in mind.
He slowly sat up, breathing slowly and rhythmically.
Now, my strength is five realms...
Five realms are not enough.
The powerful inner energy began to circulate in Wu Yan's body, leaving him in tattered clothes without any wind.
The inner breath traveled under the skin, like tiny dragons, and finally converged on the Dantian area. Soon his lower abdomen bulged slightly, and there seemed to be a bead rotating under the bulge, making the skin Slightly red.
Wu Yan has been in the Five Realms for a long, long time.
It’s not that he can’t break through the six realms, but Xiaoyu Pavilion has requirements. The killer needs to suppress his own practice as much as possible and not rely too much on the abilities brought by his cultivation. Killing is more about skill and character. Just have enough cultivation.
Therefore, if those killers in the pavilion who are at a higher level are not more talented and have cultivated their inner energy earlier to fill their meridians, they will not be able to break through.
But for Wu Yan right now, he needs a stronger realm of cultivation.
Then the next moment, the "beads" suddenly dispersed.
He let out a breath, his expression not changing at all.
Everything seemed to fall into place... Just like that, he broke through the six realms.
The breeze blew, and the beggar who had been guarding the overpass for many days had disappeared.
