The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 39

Ch 39: Pursuing Soldiers

At dusk, the setting sun dyed the entire sky blood-red. At this moment, above Xizhao Town, a helicopter circled in the air, its propeller making a huge roar, as if to break the tranquility of this place.

Inside the helicopter, a man dressed in an ancient Daoist robe sat there quietly, his eyes sharp and indifferent, staring intently at Villa Number Nine below. At this moment, the villa had been swallowed by a raging fire, the flames soaring into the sky, black smoke billowing, forming a terrifying scene.

Beside the man, a subordinate wearing a Netherworld Hall robe knelt on the ground, his head lowered, not daring to look directly into the man’s eyes. He said in a trembling voice, “Reporting, Lord Xi Chen, Lord Xi Dong has fallen, and it’s related to a middle school student! Now that person’s whereabouts are unknown!”

Hearing this news, Xi Chen’s brow furrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, “What is the background of that middle school student?”

The subordinate quickly replied, “According to the situation at the scene and the results of the investigation, we discovered the figure of Cang Cong of the Dragon Country National Security at the time of Lord Xi Dong’s death!”

“Dragon Country National Security…” Xi Chen murmured in a low voice, a look of surprise on his face. He didn’t expect that this matter would involve Dragon Country National Security.

After a moment of silence, Xi Chen ordered, “Immediately investigate the whereabouts of that kid! No matter the cost, we must find him!”

“Yes!” the subordinate respectfully responded and turned to leave.

The helicopter continued to circle over Xizhao Town, Xi Chen silently watching the burning Villa Number Nine below. He pondered to himself, what secrets were hidden in all of this? Why would Dragon Country National Security appear here? None of this matters. Since you killed my brother, you will naturally be buried with him.

After leaving his hometown, Xi Yang immediately headed to Longshan County in the east.

He didn’t choose to take the main road, but chose to follow the mountains of his hometown, crossing mountains and ridges, crossing the Longhua Mountains that divided the two counties, passing through Fenliu Peak, and then to Longshan County.

Xi Yang’s heart was full of doubts about Cang Cong’s promise, and he didn’t completely trust him. The timing of Cang Cong’s attack made him wary, especially when he fired the second shot, which was obviously filled with strong killing intent. From the beginning, Cang Cong’s purpose didn’t seem to be to sincerely win him over, but to be wary of his rapidly growing strength.

Similarly, Xi Yang realized that it would be difficult for him to defeat Cang Cong at this time. This guy’s strength had already reached the Profound Level, equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage 5. Although his Dantian was different, it would not be easy to win in the face of such a huge gap in realm!

Along the winding mountain road, Xi Yang struggled forward and finally arrived at the foot of Fenliu Ridge. Looking at the round, pointed mountain top in front of him, and the dense mountain forest rising and falling in the mountain wind, like waves.

Before long, Cang Cong, dressed in plain clothes, appeared in front of him.

As soon as he saw Xi Yang, a smile appeared on his face: “Little Brother Xi Yang, seeing you in such a hurry, where are you going?”

Xi Yang was a little surprised. He tried his best to hide his figure, but why couldn’t he escape the other party’s eyes? He carefully sensed his surroundings and found nothing unusual!

Cang Cong looked at the puzzled Xi Yang and sneered, “Little brother, are you wondering how we discovered your whereabouts?”

Xi Yang frowned and said, “I’d like to hear it!”

“Actually, it’s nothing!” As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, “We have satellites in the sky. As long as we lock onto you, no matter where you escape, we can find you!”

Xi Yang’s expression changed slightly when he heard this. Memories about satellites flashed through his mind. Satellites are mainly based on universal gravitation. When a satellite is launched into the Lan Chen Star’s orbit, the universal gravitation on the satellite provides the necessary centripetal force, enabling the satellite to make periodic movements around the Lan Chen Star. This thing can indeed locate, but this thing’s positioning relies on sensor signals. Even if there are sensor signals in some places, they may not be located. The satellite’s sensing relies on specific frequency fluctuations, and these fluctuations will be caused by the obstruction of high mountains and rivers, causing this frequency fluctuation to be unable to spread.

He didn’t have any sensors on him, not even a few electronic components, so how could the satellite detect him?

Seeing Xi Yang’s confusion, he said with a smile, “It’s very simple. The Qi and Blood in our martial artists’ bodies are different from ordinary people, and the body itself will emit strong frequency fluctuations. As early as a few years ago, our Dragon Country National Security was able to easily track the whereabouts of martial artists below the Earth Level using satellites.”

“I see, I underestimated you!”

“You didn’t underestimate us, but underestimated the power of technology!” As soon as Cang Cong finished speaking, a group of special forces soldiers in special combat uniforms suddenly rushed out from all around. They were all armed with thermal weapons and surrounded him fully armed.

Xi Yang glanced at them and asked, “What do you mean by this?”

Cang Cong smiled, took out a wanted order from his pocket, and read it out, “Xi Yang, a student in Class 4, Senior Year 3 of Xizhao Middle School in Xizhao Town. In collusion with Netherworld Hall assassins, he murdered the Deputy Director of the Yuanshi County Public Security Bureau and thirty accompanying police officers. The crime is heinous, and this wanted order is hereby issued. Anyone who captures him and brings him to justice will be rewarded with 100,000 Dragon Country Currency. Those who can provide clues to his whereabouts will receive a reward from the police ranging from one thousand to twenty thousand Yuan.”

Xi Yang said in a deep voice, “Don’t tell me that you recruited me into Dragon Country National Security in order to stabilize me and obtain the reward on the wanted order?”

Cang Cong said dejectedly, “I asked my superiors for instructions, and they were unwilling to offend the lunatics of the Netherworld Hall for your sake! So, I had no choice but to ask you to die!”

“Dragon Country National Security is to protect the country, but now it’s like this, sacrificing others for its own sake! This Dragon Country National Security is truly ironic!” Xi Yang mocked.

“Shut up, what does a middle school student who doesn’t understand anything know? Without our Dragon Country National Security, those arrogant martial artists would have slaughtered everywhere long ago. It is because of our existence that they have restrained themselves! In the face of national righteousness, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable!”

“I underestimated you. This face, comparable to a city wall, is enough to resist all incoming winds!” Xi Yang said lightly.

“Sorry, don’t blame us!” Saying that, he waved his hand.

The special forces soldiers around him quickly crossed and opened fire on Xi Yang.

The moment they pulled the trigger, Xi Yang moved, his terrifying speed instantly leaving their encirclement.

The Primal Beginning Blade thrown from his hand swirled and danced in the air, then passed through the bodies of these special forces soldiers like a stream of light.

Bang, bang, bang!

Clusters of blood mist gushed out from their bodies, and the short battle ended in an instant.

Cang Cong looked at the tragically dead special forces soldiers without much surprise! He said expressionlessly, “You do have some strength. I originally thought you were only at the Yellow Level, but now it seems that you have reached the Profound Level!”

Xi Yang looked at him with cold eyes, “I’m very curious, what is the basis for you to stop me here?”

Cang Cong said, “When we reach the Profound Level, we martial artists can all use a martial skill. I have been practicing the Canglin Sword since I was a child! After I became a Profound Level, the first martial skill I comprehended was the ‘Gale God Sword’! Take this move!”

Only to see a rustling sound of leaves hitting each other suddenly coming from the mountain forest, and then countless fallen leaves flew in the air, wrapped in Qing-colored Spiritual Power, forming streams of fallen leaf Sword Qi.

As thousands of fallen leaves fell, Xi Yang smiled slightly, quickly drew a Fire Talisman in his hand, and threw it out.

The Fire Talisman collided with the Fallen Leaf Sword Qi with a bang. The Fallen Leaf Sword Qi was immediately covered by a raging fire, and thousands of Sword Qi turned into ashes.
