Chapter 143: Stealth Technique?

  "What just happened?" The old man in the Chinese tunic was very arrogant, with a completely lazy expression that didn't even bother to pay attention to these little soldiers. As soon as he came out, he saw Wang Wei chasing someone and couldn't help but feel some curiosity, so he asked casually.

  Wang Wei immediately said, "There is a person from Da Liang country who wants to enter the city without a pass and was turned away by the little one!"

  "Hmm!" The old man nodded slightly, "Recently there's been some unrest, especially with the demon tribe. You all must keep your eyes peeled, or else you might let some unscrupulous character sneak in and lose your heads!"

  "Yes, yes, yes! I will remember carefully and dare not be slow!"

  Wang Wei nodded and bowed his head. The old man in front of him was the steward of the Hou Mansion, a person he, as a low-ranking soldier, could hardly ever hope to meet.

  The old man ignored Wang Wei and turned to the two men dressed as servants who were following him, made a gesture, pointed to the city wall beside him, "Stick it here!"

  "Yes!"

  The two responded in unison. One held a pot of paste and a brush, while the other held a piece of paper, which was quickly posted on the old man's fingers.

  Wang Wei and several soldiers under his command gathered around, looked up at the paper, and immediately changed their expressions. They hastily asked the old man, "Zhou Guanjia, who are these two people?"

  The old man said, "This is a notice from Longcheng. The two people in the drawing are wanted by the authorities. If you see them passing through here, report immediately. It's said that this man is a friend of the current Flowing Wind Prince. If you encounter him, don't dare to be negligent!"

  "Ah, boss, this..."

  A small soldier next to Wang Wei pointed at the notice with a look of excitement on his face, as if he had something to say.

  "Ouch!"

  Wang Wei's foot landed on the little soldier's heel, and the little soldier suddenly shouted loudly, but the second half of his words didn't make it out.

  "What's wrong?" The old man looked puzzled.

  "Uh, never mind, my brother just got a cramp!" Wang Wei said with an awkward smile.

  "Remember, once discovered, report immediately!" The old man didn't pay attention to it either. After posting the notice, he turned around and left directly.

  "Boss, high-quality spirit crystal!" After the old man left, the little soldier who was just trampled on finally came up to Wang Wei, with green light flashing in his eyes.

  "You fool, don't you want to live?" Wang Wei directly slapped a palm on Xiaobing's head, "If Zhou Guanjia finds out that we drove the person away, do you still want your head?"

  Several little soldiers all had a frightened look on their faces, "Boss, what do we do now?"

  "What's going on?" Wang Wei looked at several people with a bad attitude, "Wait, that person will definitely come back, and then say some good words. We are also doing things according to the rules, he shouldn't be petty with us!"

  Everyone was in a state of anxiety, that was the friend of Prince Liufeng, just now he was right in front of us, and yet he was driven away. It's really true that you can't judge a person by their appearance, how could the prince's friend be dressed so shabbily?

  ——

  At this moment, Xiao Yun was leading his horse on the road, thinking about how to enter the city. Within dozens of miles, there were strong fortifications blocking the way, and other places were all high mountains and steep cliffs. Any place that could be called a road would have soldiers guarding it. It could be said that if one wanted to enter Xia Guo, Pingyang Pass was a must-pass location, unless he had the realm of a musician, able to fly over by relying on his spiritual energy, otherwise, he could only walk steadily on the ground.

  It's just a coincidence that at the gate of Pingyang, a notice was posted with a picture of a man and a woman.

  If Xiao Yun stayed at Pingyang Pass for a moment, he would find that the picture on it was him and Lin Chu Yin. The reward was two top-grade spirit crystals, and below it was also stamped with the seal of the Xia Dynasty!

  "It's almost dark, if we can't get into the city, won't we have to sleep outdoors?"

  Xiao Yun was in a dilemma, where could he get the pass? When he left Da Liang country, no one asked him for a pass. Now if he went back, Da Liang country wouldn't let him in either, so wouldn't he be trapped on Mount Tai of Dongyue?

  "Chee-chee!" Xiao Er jumped up and down on Xiao Yun's shoulder.

  "Stop messing around, can't you see I'm busy?" Xiao Yun was annoyed by Qiao Er's call.

  "Squeak!"

  The bird flapped its wings and flew to the front of Xiao Yun, with only a foot away from Xiao Yun's face. It looked at Xiao Yun and chirped loudly, as if it had something to say.

  Xiao Yun also saw that Qiao had something to say, and after a moment's pause, said, "You mean you have a way?"

  "Chirp chirp!" Xiao Er seemed to understand Xiao Yun's words and nodded vigorously towards him.

  Xiao Yun heard this and couldn't help but laugh, "What can you possibly do?"

  Xiao Yun knew that this little guy had caught countless spiritual insects in the old ghost forest, and he had a lot of skills on his body. However, he didn't think that this little guy could fly over Pingyang Pass with himself. After all, there was Le Zong sitting in Pingyang City, unless Le Shi's realm was high enough to soar in the sky, otherwise, even if they flew over Pingyang Pass, it was very likely that they would be discovered.

  "Chirp! Chirp!"

  For Xiao Yun's disdain, Qiao Er was obviously very dissatisfied, flapping its wings a few times, retreating two meters back, opening its small mouth, accompanied by two simple syllables, a white light burst out of its mouth, Xiao Yun had not reacted yet, and was already wrapped up in the white light, his entire lower body submerged in the white glow.

  "Oh no, my leg!"

  The white light dissipated, and Xiao Yun looked down to see that the part of her body that had just been wrapped in white light had completely disappeared. She was floating in mid-air as if she had no lower body at all.

  She reached out and touched, feeling the existence of her legs. Xiao Yun let out a sigh of relief, but immediately, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, "This is... stealth technique?"

  Xiao Yun's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Qiao Er, her mind reeling with the implications. This was definitely another ability that Qiao Er had obtained from the Netherworms, and yet he could actually apply it to himself - it was simply unbelievable.

  The clever child chattered triumphantly, as if boasting of his achievement.

  "But you've only hidden half of your body, what's going on?" After a moment of excitement, Xiao Yun discovered that something was off again. The lower half of his body had indeed become invisible, but the upper half remained visible. This appearance would surely scare people to death if he went to Pingyang Pass again, and he might even be beaten to death as a ghost.

  Qiao Er seemed to have also discovered the inadequacy, and circled around Xiao Yunfei once again, stopping in front of Xiao Yun once more. His mouth opened wide, and another white light shot towards Xiao Yun.

  On the mountain path, in a small grove of trees, a very dramatic scene unfolded. A sparrow continuously spat out white light towards the front, while the human figure in front suddenly appeared and disappeared, sometimes with only a head floating in mid-air, and sometimes with only two legs walking on the ground. If someone saw this, they would probably be scared to death.

  "You're all wrapped up in your head, but can't even protect your feet, you'll need more practice in the future!"

  After a long time, Qiao'er was almost exhausted and still couldn't completely hide Xiao Yun's figure. Although this little guy had such an ability, he still couldn't use it fluently.

  Qiao'er was somewhat exhausted, flapping its wings to express its dissatisfaction to Xiao Yun. Exerting this ability was apparently also extremely exhausting for it, and even at its best, it could only hide half of itself at most.

  "What? Someone's coming!"

  Ben still wanted to let Qiao try, but Xiao Yun heard a hurried footsteps coming from the mountain road, realizing that someone was coming, and quickly asked Qiao to remove her stealth cloak for herself, otherwise, if she was seen, wouldn't it be a direct scare to death?

  Qiao'er reluctantly spat out a white light towards Xiao Yun, and immediately, Xiao Yun's empty half-body reappeared, truly amazing.

  Three figures quickly emerged from the turn, and Xiao Yun's eyebrows furrowed as he could sense that these two old men and one young man all had kung fu skills on their bodies, and they seemed to be quite high-level.

  The three of them didn't move slowly and soon arrived beside Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun also didn't have time to take a closer look, seeing the three people's fierce appearance, he quickly pulled his horse to the side of the road, lest they collide with these two men and stir up some trouble.

  Three people quickly passed by Xiao Yun's side, and at this moment, the old man who was in front turned around to look at Xiao Yun with a hint of doubt in his eyebrows, "Stop!"

  Xiao Yun stopped in his tracks and turned around, only to see the two old men and one young man looking at him with unfriendly expressions. "Are you three calling me?"

  "Are you the only one here? Should I call out to ghosts?" The young man hobbled closer to Xiao Yun, his crutch thumping on the ground, his tone arrogant.
