C121 Trace
It was because the floating boat was the only tool that could be used to quickly travel between countries!
Even the worst floating ship would not be much slower than an ordinary Martial King Stage Ranker.
It was clear that the Shadow Sect Headquarters could not be located in a remote city like Luo City. The fastest way to get there was to board the floating ship from Luo City.
Although the tickets were expensive, they were nothing to the Umbra.
Arriving at the plaza, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that he had miscalculated.
There were too many people in the square.
Just then, Chen Xiao remembered that the Green Spirit Sect was also holding the disciple recruitment ceremony!
The so-called disciple recruitment was just a test to see the talent for cultivation. If one's talent met the requirements, they would directly enter the school and become an outer court disciple. Once they passed the test, they could even become an inner court disciple or even a core disciple.
However, even such a lowly sect like this, still had tens of thousands of people watching them. This also brought Chen Xiao a lot of obstacles in his search.
After passing through the crowd for a moment, he did not see any trace of Qing Xuan, nor did he sense even the aura emitted from Qing Xuan's body.
But this was not enough to make Chen Xiao give up, he did not continue searching amongst the crowd, and directly walked towards the place where the floating boat was parked.
The floating boat stopped at the north side of the plaza, and the south side was where Green Spirit Sect would recruit disciples.
Perhaps it was because of the Green Spirit Sect, but there were actually not even one or two floating boats on the plaza, and today, there were actually eleven densely packed floating boats parked side by side.
Judging by their appearance, there was basically no difference. However, if one looked carefully, one could see that apart from the ten ships that were roughly the same size, there was another ship a size bigger than the ones on the other side.
The name "Qing" was engraved on the body of the largest floating boat. If his guess was right, it must be Green Spirit Sect's boat.
Chen Xiao was not interested in this kind of ship. With just a glance, he directly headed towards the other ten floating boats.
Chen Xiao did not immediately board the flying ship. Instead, he stood near the floating boat, and completely released his consciousness, spreading out in all directions to sense the auras around him.
Chen Xiao had seen the regular assassins in the shadows train in the techniques that he had seen before.
Those with good aptitude could even reach the Martial Sect or even the Martial Saint Realm, it was not too difficult for them to do so. However, when they cultivated this kind of cultivation technique, the true essence in their body carried a trace of bloodthirsty killing intent!
This kind of Qi, ordinary people would not be able to sense, but Chen Xiao was different!
His cultivation level was currently only at Martial King Stage, but Chen Xiao's senses had not weakened by much, if there were people with shadows within a hundred metres away, Chen Xiao would definitely be able to sense them.
But, to Chen Xiao's disappointment, he found ten ships in a row, and even the Green Spirit Sect, whom Chen Xiao did not let go, did not sense a shadow at all.
This caused Chen Xiao's expression to gradually become ugly.
"Could it be that those people have already left?" Chen Xiao scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes, searching for clues. Unfortunately, he still did not see anything.
After looking around, Chen Xiao decided to look around outside.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
The anxious look on Chen Xiao's face became more and more prominent, and his brows were knitted even more tightly.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao had previously asked around, and up until now, not a single floating ship had left Luo City.
This proved that it was very likely that Qing Xuan and the others were still in Luo City.
However, continuing to wander aimlessly was not an easy thing to do. Who knew where they would appear from?
Su Yun's gaze swept across the crowd. Right at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on Chen Xiao's body.
"Bang …"
Being caught unawares, Chen Xiao was actually struck and staggered, and almost directly retreated.
"Sorry, I bumped into you in a hurry!" A middle-aged man that looked to be around thirty years old looked at Chen Xiao and softly said.
"Forget it!" Chen Xiao shook his head, he did not have time to bother with them, and continued to search the area.
As for that person, he immediately lowered his head and hastily walked towards the outside of the plaza.
"Hmm?" Chen Xiao's gaze suddenly froze, he suddenly turned towards the man, and said: "Wait!"
"What's the matter, little brother?" The middle-aged man stopped and turned to look at Chen Xiao, a look of doubt flashing past his eyes.
"Do you know the Shadow?" Chen Xiao took two steps forward, and stood in front of the middle-aged man.
"Shadow?" The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment before frowning, "I've never heard of it. What kind of power is it?"
"Haven't you heard? That could be my mistaken identity! "I'm sorry!" Chen Xiao's face revealed a look of apology, and said to the middle aged man.
"No worries!" The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth curled into a smile before he turned around to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, Chen Xiao suddenly made a move, his body instantly approaching the middle-aged man, and grabbed his shoulder.
However, the middle aged man seemed to be on guard, the moment he was grabbed by Chen Xiao, he released his Qi, and actually wanted to break free from Chen Xiao's hand.
However, since Chen Xiao had already caught him, how could he let him go so easily? The black fire in his body suddenly surged, and under the middle-aged man's wide-opened eyes, it quickly devoured the opponent's cultivation.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the six star Martial King level of the middle-aged man had actually been completely devoured.
After devouring the other party's cultivation, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
The action just now could be said to be extremely risky, if not for the fact that he was caught off guard, Chen Xiao would not have been able to take down the middle-aged man.
But now that it had been taken down by Chen Xiao, the following matters were much easier to settle.
"My cultivation level, you … You actually crippled my cultivation! " After the middle-aged man recovered from his shock, he became extremely angry.
It wasn't easy for him to painstakingly cultivate to the 6-star Martial King, so he came out to complete a mission this time. After he returned, he could continue his closed door cultivation, or at least break through to the Martial King Stage.
But now, all of this was gone!
"I didn't destroy your cultivation. I only used a secret technique to temporarily seal your cultivation!" Chen Xiao's mouth revealed a cold smile, and said indifferently: "Can we talk about it now?"
"You're someone from the Shadow!" Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"I have really never heard of any shadow. I am just a member of a small family in Heaven Martial Kingdom. I am only here to participate in the auction that happens once every three years in Merchant Union of the World!" The middle-aged man instantly swallowed his saliva.
