Chapter 444 Boundless Heaven and Earth, A Ten-Thousand-Mile Pursuit
Two streaks of light arrived at the location where Lü Xuanfeng was, revealing their figures.
One was a young man also wearing a Taoist robe, and the other was wearing the same black uniform as Wei Changwu and the other two, with a cold and stern expression.
Moreover, this person is an old acquaintance of Lü Xuanfeng, and even an old acquaintance of Bai Ze, Xiao Zangfeng, who has already awakened.
Xiao Zangfeng, as a witness for the Ministry of Justice, observed the battle between Bai Ze and Yun Yan, thus becoming involved in the feud between Bai Ze and the Yun family. Therefore, he was later included in the team responsible for escorting Yun Jingming and his wife.
Yun Jingming and his wife were rescued, and only Xiao Zangfeng escaped from the escort team, but he also fell into a coma due to serious injuries.
However, several months have passed since then, and Xiao Zangfeng has finally regained consciousness.
The same logic applies this time. Since the suspect is Bai Ze, Xiao Zangfeng, who had interacted with him before, was also dispatched.
As for the other one, he is a master from Shangqing Energy within the Sanqing Group, a true martial arts expert, named "Zhang Shaofeng".
He and Lü Xuanfeng were of the same generation, and the two had even been rivals for a long time. It wasn't until Lü Xuanfeng recently broke through and condensed his Earth Soul that he was able to temporarily shake off Zhang Shaofeng.
In Dongxia, the energy industry is basically controlled by the government. Shangqing Energy is more of a human resources company than an energy company, and its specialty is its fighting ability.
Their main businesses all require force, such as delivery or developing otherworldly environments.
If we include the resources developed in other worlds as energy, then they are indeed in the energy business.
"Truly one"
Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Shaofeng uttered two words softly, "Impressive."
When Xiao Zangfeng received the resonance from Wei Changwu, he immediately rushed over with Lü Xuanfeng and Zhang Shaofeng, who were nearby.
Lu Xuanfeng arrived first, taking only a few minutes.
In just a few minutes, Wei Changwu and his two companions were completely wiped out.
Considering that Wei Changwu may have sent the message before engaging in combat with his opponent, the impact of those few minutes should be taken into account.
"I was unable to stop him," said Lü Xuanfeng. "His supernatural abilities are perhaps related to the Five Elements. He can unleash divine light similar to that of Bai Ze and can move freely through mountains. He doesn't seem to practice martial arts; he seems to be cultivating immortality."
Although martial arts, once you reach a high level, are not much different from cultivating immortality in novels, Lu Xuanfeng still had something to say about Bai Ze's style.
"Tsk, even you couldn't stop him..."
Zhang Shaofeng clicked his tongue and said, "Fortunately, the Martial Arts Association sent that senior."
"Huh?" Lu Xuanfeng was taken aback.
"Could it be that senior?"
Although the atmosphere was quite heavy, Lu Xuanfeng still felt a little amused when he thought of that person.
"Yes, it's me."
A helpless voice rang out, and a blur of motion flashed by.
This was a middle-aged martial artist who looked somewhat unkempt, wore ordinary standard combat uniforms, and had a sparse beard.
It looks quite ordinary, but since it can fly long distances at such a high speed, it is undoubtedly a martial artist of eight stars or above.
"Senior Zhang Xiaotian." Lü Xuanfeng and Zhang Shaofeng bowed simultaneously.
Although this Senior Zhang is not as strong as them, he is a veteran of the Martial Arts Association and has made great contributions to the Martial Arts Association and Dongxia.
Furthermore, Zhang Xiaotian has been residing in the Mountain and Sea Realm for the past twenty years, never returning to Earth. During this time, he has also provided significant assistance to the Sanqing Group and the sects behind them. Both Lü Xuanfeng and Zhang Shaofeng hold Zhang Xiaotian in high regard.
Although I still felt a little amused...: "Let's skip the formalities, and don't think I don't know you want to laugh."
Zhang Xiaotian waved his hand casually and said, "If the council hadn't specifically assigned me, Old Zhang, to this task, I really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess."
""
"Senior Zhang, this is for the purpose of tracking down the murderer," Xiao Zangfeng said expressionlessly.
"Who knows what's going on inside? Don't think I don't know, there are rumors now that there's a mole in the Social Security Bureau."
Zhang Xiaotian said, "This time the waters are very deep, and those big shots from Yanjing have all gotten involved. I hate those big shots from Yanjing."
Zhang Xiaotian expressed his opinion without any reservation, but he still stretched out his hand and said, "But since three eight-stars have already died, we have to find him no matter if that person is that great genius or not. Give me his aura."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zangfeng immediately took out a transparent crystal.
Through the surface of the crystal, one can see a wisp of black and white energy swirling within.
Zhang Xiaotian took the crystal, reached out and grabbed it, drawing out the wisp of black and white energy, and then inhaling it into his nostrils.
immediately-
"The universe is boundless, and we pursue it across ten thousand miles."
Zhang Shaofeng and Lü Xuanfeng silently filled in the blanks in their minds to complete the lines.
Then Zhang Xiaotian began to breathe, drawing in energy from all directions.
That's right, this is Zhang Xiaotian's supernatural power; after all, he's been on TV before.
Martial artists under the age of forty in Dongxia probably all know about this supernatural ability, even if they don't know Zhang Xiaotian at all.
Of course, Zhang Xiaotian was not actually Erlang Shen's pet, much less the reincarnation of Xiaotian Dog; it's just that his supernatural powers were similar to those of that dog.
And many years ago, he made a bet with someone and lost it.
Few know the specifics of the bet, but a great many do know what the stakes were.
From then on, Zhang Xiaotian's registered title in the Martial Arts Association's registration information became "Howling Celestial Dog," and the name of his innate divine power became "Boundless Heaven and Earth, Ten Thousand Miles of Pursuit."
As it turned out, Zhang Xiaotian truly lived up to his reputation for supernatural abilities. In just a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "Found it."
"So fast?" Lu Xuanfeng asked in surprise.
Even he, a nine-star who had previously been in contact with the other party, had not been able to detect any trace of them or even find any clues about them.
Zhang Xiaotian found it in just a few seconds.
Could he really be the reincarnation of the Celestial Dog?
"Kid, I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your face."
Zhang Xiaotian glared at Lü Xuanfeng and said, "Although I'm too lazy to explain, I still have to say this: although my supernatural ability is called 'That Groove,' it's different from that dog's. I can sense auras and even detect the traces left when an aura passes by, unlike a dog that sniffs out scents."
"The information is all fake. Do you think my supernatural powers are weaker than a dog's?"
"Although that was Erlang Shen's dog..." Xiao Zangfeng added from the side, "Even if the other party can erase their own aura, the other energies that their aura once affected will still be sensed by Senior Zhang. That's their trace."
"Like a cup of water that has been boiled, even if the water has cooled back to cold temperature, Senior Zhang can still detect the traces of it being boiled."
These "traces" are invisible, and may not even exist in the eyes of others, but Zhang Xiaotian can still sense them.
It was precisely because of this supernatural ability that Zhang Xiaotian was able to make contributions to the Martial Arts Association and the Federation, and also to forge connections with various forces.
In the exploration of the world of mountains and seas, searching is the most essential process.
With Zhang Xiaotian's help, we can save a lot of unnecessary effort, find many deeply hidden treasures, or hunt down certain targets.
It's fair to say that if Zhang Xiaotian were to disappear one day, the Martial Arts Association's exploration of the Mountain and Sea Realm would slow down by at least half.
"Senior Zhang, are you able to pinpoint the other party's location?" Xiao Zangfeng asked.
Zhang Xiaotian maintained his breathing posture, constantly absorbing vital energy, and said, "That person has gone underground and is moving rapidly. I can follow his scent trail, but I can't pinpoint his location. At most, I can determine his current direction of movement."
"That's enough." Xiao Zangfeng took out a jade slip and infused it with his true energy.
"Attention all units! Attention all units! The target's movement direction has been traced. We are now pursuing the target based on our location and preparing an encirclement plan in advance."
His voice, mixed with divine thought, was injected into the jade slip, emitting invisible fluctuations.
In the realm of mountains and seas, Earth's high technology is not very effective, but after years of exploration, various countries have developed their own means of communication.
Although it is not as convenient as high-tech, it is more than enough for the needs of the mountain and sea world.
After sending the message, Xiao Zangfeng held the jade slip and said, "I'll trouble Senior Zhang to continue the pursuit. Once we've captured the target, the Social Security Department will petition the council for Senior Zhang's commendation."
"I'd rather not have this credit than get involved in this mess."
Zhang Xiaotian muttered to himself, but his body was already moving.
Attention all units! Attention all units:
'
Bai Ze, who was traversing underground, raised an eyebrow.
Because he also heard Xiao Zangfeng's message.
"A communication jade slip from the Federation?" Bai Ze thought to himself.
Excluding the Wan Yi train incident, this was Bai Ze's first time entering the Mountain and Sea Realm, making him a complete greenhorn.
Furthermore, after Mu Yaoguang was attacked, the Eastern Xia Federation, for safety reasons, prohibited martial arts students who had not yet graduated from entering other worlds for exploration and also shut down the dimensional exploration project.
As a result, there are fewer courses about other worlds at Wuhan University.
As for Bai Ze, he only attended classes at Yujing Martial Arts University for a month or two at most, and spent the rest of his time wandering around outside.
Logically speaking, Bai Ze doesn't know much about the Mountain and Sea Realm, but who told him to have such a powerful girlfriend who also controls the central AI of Yujing Martial Arts University?
.....
.....
Bai Ze has read all information related to the Mountain and Sea Realm, whether it is confidential or publicly available.
What he probably didn't know was that the information was kept by each individual and hadn't even been stored online.
This naturally includes the communication tools used by the martial arts association and official departments, such as the jade slips used for transmission.
This technology originated from the primordial realm and, after extensive modifications by the Taiyi Academy, was adapted to the environment of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The principle behind the jade slip for transmitting messages is actually quite simple: it converts information into waves for transmission, similar to an early form of radio.
However, compared to radio, the confidentiality of the jade slips for communication is much higher.
Unless it's a matching jade slip, you can't even receive the fluctuations, let alone interpret them.
The jade slips that Xiao Zangfeng carried on this mission were naturally of the highest security, and were 100% meticulously crafted to prevent any leakage. Theoretically, only their companions could receive the information.
Even if Mu Yaoguang wanted to help Bai Ze, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
However, Bai Ze did not need the jade slip. He directly used the "Words Follow Law" technique to forcibly receive the fluctuations and then let the fluctuations interpret the information themselves.
"Able to pinpoint my location..."
The Dharma Image conjures up the structure of a martial arts-style AI within the body, rapidly increasing the speed of thought processes and quickly filtering out unsuitable objects.
"Howling Celestial Dog" Zhang Xiaotian.
Bai Ze had already identified a potential target in a short period of time.
Zhang Xiaotian is quite famous in the Shan Hai Realm. In the Martial Arts Association's database, his importance is marked as extremely high, comparable to a ten-star martial artist.
"I had overlooked the existence of these supernatural abilities," Bai Ze thought to himself.
Information about Zhang Xiaotian already exists on the nanometer unit, but to say how much one knows about this person is just so-so.
After all, the information described the supernatural power as being like a dog's, leading Bai Ze to believe that the other party's supernatural power was the ability to detect scents.
Ever since Bai Ze was found by a woman in Yingguo, he has completely eliminated his own scent and even included Mu Yaoguang's scent in his vigilance list.
To put it bluntly, Bai Ze could detect Mu Yaoguang's scent immediately if she appeared within a radius of 500 miles.
But now it seems that some of the information about Zhang Xiaotian's supernatural abilities is inaccurate.
No wonder Da Zizai only sent three cannon fodder; he had a backup plan.
Originally, the location of the Great Freedom could only be determined through the Great Freedom Demon Blood within Qu Jingxuan's head. Even if Bai Ze's location was known, how to reasonably transmit the information to others was also a problem.
Whether it's the Martial Arts Association or anywhere else, Mu Yaoguang is keeping a close eye on things.
If anyone were to reveal Bai Ze's location, Mu Yaoguang would immediately keep an eye on him and follow the trail to find his other accomplices.
But now, that trick doesn't work anymore.
Without needing the Great Freedom Demon Bloodline to locate him, Zhang Xiaotian could help the Martial Arts Association and the Social Security Bureau find Bai Ze.
"In other words, you're useless."
Bai Ze looked down at Qu Jingxuan's head and said softly, "Refine it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the erosion, which should have taken two or three hours to complete, accelerated by a hundred or even a thousand times. In just a few seconds, the demonic blood inside Qu Jingxuan's head was refined and controlled by Bai Ze.
"How could this be..." Qu Jingxuan's thoughts raced wildly. "So fast!"
He thought he might be rescued by Da Zizai, but he didn't expect that Bai Ze was actually faking it.
Without the aid of using the "words become law" method, it would indeed take half a day.
However, if one were to use the phrase "words become law," then the time would be severely damaged.
We didn't use it before because we wanted to use it to lure people into being free. Now that the bait is no longer useful, it's time to get rid of it.
In that instant, Qu Jingxuan sensed the approach of death, and under the threat of death, he had a thought, which was sensed by Bai Ze.
Since Bai Ze has already mastered the Demon Blood, he can also control Qu Jingxuan just like Da Zizai did.
In other words, Bai Ze can have an extra nine-star martial artist as a lackey.
"That's a great idea."
Bai Ze smiled and said, "I do need a nine-star combatant, but I'd rather you die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ze pulled out Qu Jingxuan's head, clasped his hands together, and instantly refined it.
