Chapter 705 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" begins with suspense: Why would Du Ruhui come backâŚHas the war with Zhuang Yong Country ended?Did they win... Donât stop reading!
Why would Du Ruhui come backâŚHas the war with Zhuang Yong Country ended?
Did they win again?
How long have I been unconscious?
âThis place is not safe, hurry up and leave!â Jiang Yanâs voice urged within Tongtian Palace.
When did Jiang Yan wake up?
After being attacked by the Chancellorâs Seal, what state is he in nowâŚ
Can I handle him?
âWhere to?â Jiang Wang asked subconsciously.
âInto the water!
Qing River!â Jiang Yanâs voice was short and urgent, but strong and certain.
Why did I pass out?
Zhuang Gaoxian, Du Ruhui, Dong Ah, hatredâŚ
My heart demon, where did it go?
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the awakened brain was churning with countless thoughts.
Suppressing those mixed emotions and trivial thoughts, Jiang Wang had already staggered to his feet and started running out.
âQing River is in the direction behind you!â Jiang Yan reminded.
How could he sense Du Ruhuiâs approach in advance?
Why is he so much more lucid than I am?
What exactlyâŚ
is he?
âOh!â Jiang Wang responded blankly, turned in a different direction, and continued running.
His body slowly regained control, but he did not choose to fly.
Since the national war had ended, most of Zhuang Countryâs forces should have withdrawn.
Flying in the sky at this time would be too dangerous.
Moreover, Du Ruhui had just passed byâŚ
Was Du Ruhui coming to kill the murderer?
How did he find the direction?
Divination?
Tracking?
Thinking, pondering, he could already hear the sound of river waves in his ears.
After running a little further, his view suddenly opened up.
Like a white jade belt embedded in the wilderness, the eight hundred li of Qing River opened its arms to him.
Splash.
Jiang Wang jumped directly into the water.
Like a big fish, he rose and fell in the glimmering waves.
For transcendental cultivators, holding oneâs breath is not a problem.
Due to the hidden clothes, he did not disturb the swimming fish.
âWhich way?â he asked within Tongtian Palace.
âXun position,â replied Jiang Yan.
Jiang Wang glanced and swam towards the southwest direction.
âDui position.â
âQian position.â
Jiang Yan never said much, just pointed the way after a while, his purpose seeming very clear.
Why is he so familiar with Qing River?
Some questions, Jiang Wang would only ponder in his heart, but some questions he could ask aloud.
âHow many days have I been unconscious?
Do you know why I passed out?â he asked while swimming.
âI woke up not long before you did,â Jiang Yan said.
This one sentence answered both questions.
He must have hidden something.
But in Xinâan City, he was indeed severely injured by the Chancellorâs SealâŚ
That Chancellorâs Seal truly did dim, losing its effect; it seemed to be no deception.
Thinking this, Jiang Wang asked, âWhere are we going?
To find a concealed place at the bottom of the river to hide?â
âNo,â said Jiang Yan: âTo the Qing River Water Mansion.
Only the restrictions of Qing River Water Mansion can completely escape Du Ruhuiâs perception.
Just now on that mountain, Du Ruhui did not use his spiritual sense, which is why he missed us.
But since he has come after us, it means hidden clothes cannot completely fool him.
Once he realizes something is wrong and comes back, Yin Guanâs methods will no longer be useful.
If he discovers us, there will not be a second outcome.â
His reasoning was very clear and extremely persuasive.
Speaking of which, as if sensing something, he added, âJiang Wang, right now Iâm trying everything possible, exhaustively searching every clue, to keep us both alive.
Youâd better give me enough trust.â
âAm I not trusting you right now?â Jiang Wang retorted.
âRemember, it was your recklessness that got us into this danger,â said Jiang Yan in a ghostly tone.
âNot everyone gets to experience being hunted down by Du Ruhui.â
Dong Ah was that powerful.
If there had been another Cultivator with Divine Skills in Xinâan City, I might have died there.
Although I bet correctlyâŚ
why did I make such a reckless choice?
Perhaps I was led by a Heart DemonâŚ
but where is the Heart Demon now?
Jiang Wang said, âYes, I acted rashly this time.â
There was no need to be at odds with Jiang Yan at this moment.
But Jiang Yan had already taken the initiative to explain, âWhen I woke up, I found our Heart Demon was giving birth to Spiritual Sense, trying to take over this body.
I woke up just as it was expelling Dark Candle.
With the help of the Coil Star Python, we suppressed it in the end.â
Jiang Wangâs heart skipped a beat.
âSuppressed?â
âYes, suppressed within the body of the Coil Star Python.â
Having experienced many twists and turns since waking, it was only now that Jiang Wang realized the Coil Star Python in Tongtian Palace was listlessly coiled up, unusually still and not moving.
âCanât it be eliminated?â asked Jiang Wang.
ââŚI canât do it,â Jiang Yan said.
âTongtian Palace is ultimately led by you.
Once weâre safe, you can deal with it yourself.â
âThatâs fine,â Jiang Wang observed the Coil Star Python for a while but ultimately did not choose to probe it at that moment.
As Jiang Yan said, now was the time to flee for their lives, not to be entangled with the Heart Demon.
Nevertheless, he still cast the Divine Soul Flower Sea to surround the Coil Star Python.
Indeed, the Coil Star Python was the True Spirit of his Dao Vein, but now that it was suppressing the Heart Demon, he had to remain vigilant.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wang changed the subject.
âQing River Water Lord is now closely collaborating with Zhuang Ting.
If we go to Qing River Water Mansion now, wonât we be walking into a trap?â
âOnly if we donât let Qing River Water Lord find us,â Jiang Yan seemed confident.
âI hope I can manage it,â Jiang Wang said.
To evade the notice of the Qing River Water Lord within the Qing River Water Mansion was practically an impossible task.
Even with the Hidden Clothes and the methods left by Yin Guan, traces would inevitably be revealed while moving.
Jiang Yan said no more but kept directing Jiang Wang to change directions.
They swam and paused along the way, avoiding several patrolling guard teams from the water mansion.
The further they swam, the deeper and more desolate the surroundings became.
Eventually, they reached a deep trench at the bottom of Qing River.
Jiang Yan did not instruct to go any deeper but had Jiang Wang stop in front of a steep cliff.
Long strands of water vines covered the cliff walls on both sides, bearing extremely fierce sharp thorns like fangs.
A terrifying aura hovered faintly, as if ready to choose someone to devour at any moment.
They were definitely not easy to deal with.
âInject a little Water Element, along the direction of the thorns, gently push them aside.
Then you wonât be attacked,â Jiang Yan directed.
Jiang Wang did as instructed, refining a bit of Water Element, applying it to the water vines, and then gently pushed them aside.
As expected, it went very smoothly, without incident.
They then saw a hidden entrance on the deep trench cliff.
âGood.
Go inside,â Jiang Yan said.
The entrance looked extremely profound.
Jiang Wang watched the surroundings cautiously for a while before finally walking in.
He had little choice.
Jiang Yan was right, once found by Du Ruhui, there would be no other outcome but to die in battle.
There may not even be an opportunity to fight.
ButâŚ
Jiang Wang thought to himselfâJiang Yan seemed very familiar with Qing River Water Mansion, even finding such a hidden underwater cave.
Could it be that Bone Tao had specifically looked into Qing River Water Mansion?
The possibility wasnât non-existent.
Zhuang Chenggan, the ancestor of Zhuang Country, had once made a pact with Song Hengjiang, and Zhuang Chenggan had once eradicated Bone Tao.
It would make sense for Bone Respecting God to have taken interest in Zhuang Chengganâs ally.
It made sense, it all made senseâŚ
Jiang Wang felt something was amiss, but he couldnât pinpoint the epiphany.
He shook his head and walked into the dark entranceâŚ
It was like entering an abyss.
