Chapter 493: Analyzing Yin and Yang, Observing the Five Elements in the Palm

At six o’clock the next day, Qin Feng and others arrived outside Qiongyu City.

The huge soldiers of the Military War Duke Army did not follow together, but dispersed and lurked in the nearby mountain forests.

In Qin Feng’s mind, this was a divide and conquer strategy that would avoid attracting the enemy’s attention.

After all, if his Star Observation Technique was correct, the sinister Ghost Buddha might already have entered Qiongyu City.

At the moment, the enemy was in the dark, while our side was in the light.

If we entered the city with great fanfare, we might be ambushed and wiped out by the enemy.

Therefore, the safest way was to hide the army first, figure out the enemy’s movements, and then catch them off guard.

At this moment, Cang Feilan and Liu Jianli changed their appearance, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes and covering their faces with headscarves to hide their beautiful faces.

Lie Ying also took off his armour and dressed like an ordinary woodcutter, but his physique was obviously too strong.

They did this under Qin Feng’s instructions. The appearance of the two women were too outstanding, and Lie Ying was also very conspicuous in his general’s attire.

Only by disguising themselves could they avoid attracting attention.

After entering the city gate, Qin Feng looked around and frowned slightly.

Qiongyu City was not Heavenly City, but a medium-sized city with a population that is second to none within a radius of 200 miles.

People were coming and going on the streets, and the city was full of smoke and fire, looking peaceful and harmonious.

But does this scene look like a city surrounded by demons and ghosts?

“General Lie, have the soldiers of the Military War Duke Army found any traces of demons and ghosts in the mountains outside the city?” Qin Feng asked in a deep voice.

Lie Ying shook his head, “If anything happens, my troops will light the smoke signals that only the Duke’s military army can understand.”

“Wife, have you felt any strange aura?” Qin Feng turned his head and asked.

After Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked around, they both shook their heads.

“It’s strange. There’s nothing unusual among the townspeople, and there’s no sign of demons or ghosts outside of town. Could it be that the Red Lotus Demon Slayers of this town are just fooling around?” Lie Ying cursed.

“When something goes wrong, there must be demons. General Lie, you go to the county government and the Demon Slaying Department to see if you can find out anything.”

“I’ll walk around town with my wives and see what people have to say.”

“We’ll meet at this restaurant in the evening,” Qin Feng suggested.

“Alright, just be careful of yourself.” With these words, Lie Ying left with several soldiers disguised as civilians.

And Qin Feng’s group left as well.

They went through restaurants, teahouses, and markets, wherever there were people.

The townspeople went about their lives peacefully, showing no signs of fear.

Even their conversations were mostly trivial matters, such as which lord took another concubine, or which widow couldn’t stand the loneliness at night and went out to seek companionship, that’s all.

But the more this happened, the more Qin Feng sensed that something was wrong.

As an experienced eavesdropper, Qin Feng understood one thing clearly: at such a time, even in a small city like Jinyang City, people’s conversations almost always revolved around demons and ghosts and the Demon Slaying Department.

But in Qiongyu City, not a single person talked about those things.

How was that possible?

This situation felt like an illusion to him, the pedestrians who came and went, the people who spoke freely in the teahouse and restaurants.

Although they were not much different from those he saw on ordinary days, he always felt that something was missing.

However, Qin Feng couldn’t tell exactly what it was.

Using the techniques of the Dual Pupil Ability and the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique, he scanned them one by one, but these people were no different from ordinary people.

Qin Feng shook his head, shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind.

He took out Sister Mo’s Reverse Scale again and looked at it, but there was no change. It seemed that Sister Mo was not in Qiongyu City.

Looking over, the two ladies were sitting quietly aside, while Xiao Bai and the little cat demon were still feasting.

Qin Feng grabbed Bai Xiaomao’s neck with one hand, raised it in front of him and asked, “Did you feel a familiar aura in the city?”

Bai Xiaomao quickly shook his head and said, “After separating from Big Sister, monsters who abide by the rules wouldn’t invade human cities.“

“And monsters that do not obey the rules will definitely make a big fuss.”

“There should be no one I know in this city.”

Qin Feng frowned, feeling that this little cat seemed to be useless except for eating.

“Don’t you have any special means of communication? Like leaving marks or scents or something?”

“How did you communicate with each other when you were under the control of Xiao Bai’s mother?”

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaomao replied, “Powerful monsters are given crystal water stones by Big Sister. As long as they infuse qi or activate their consciousness inside, they can notify nearby companions.”

“But I’m just a little demon, I’m not qualified to have that thing.”

Crystal Water Stone, why does this thing sound so familiar?

Suddenly, Qin Feng slapped his forehead, “How could I forget this?”

After a moment of searching in his chest, Qin Feng pulled out a crystal-like object resembling a drop of water.

Bai Xiaomao’s eyes widened, “Crystal Water Stone!”

Indeed, this object was the Crystal Water Stone that Sister Mo had given to Qin Feng when he left Jinyang City.

“How far is the effective range of this thing?” Qin Feng asked again.

Bai Xiaomao truthfully replied, “I have heard from others that within a radius of thirty li, as long as you infuse qi, they can sense each other.”

Qin Feng understood and then activated his divine consciousness to enter. He saw a vast expanse of darkness, like a deep and empty pond beneath his feet.

With him at the centre, waves spread out in all directions, but there were no other disturbances.

Suddenly, the silent Heaven and Earth echoed with the sound of water droplets.

Qin Feng noticed that another ripple approached from the northwest, collided with his ripple, and then slowly dissipated.

At that moment, the entire Heaven and Earth returned to silence.

Qin Feng opened his eyes and informed Bai Xiaomao of what he had just seen.

He replied, “That’s because other guys with Crystal Water Stone have sensed your breath and are responding to you.”

“If I’m not mistaken, he should come here to find you. All we have to do is wait quietly in the town, but…”

“But what?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

“Ever since Big Sister disappeared without a trace, many powerful individuals have betrayed us and are hunting loyal demons.”

“So the entity you’ve attracted might not be trustworthy. You’d better be careful,” Bai Xiaomao reminded him.

Qin Feng nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this point.

However, with two wives by his side, if the newcomer is not friendly, the only one who should be careful is the other party.

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Qin Feng’s ear: “Analyzing Yin and Yang, discerning the Five Elements, holding the Sun and Moon in the palm of your hand, inspecting Feng Shui, and measuring the Six Harmonies, hold the universe in your sleeve.”

“Young master, would you like this humble Daoist to read your fortune?”
