<h4>Chapter 1254: Chapter 1263</h4>


    Even those who were injured have disappeared, their martial arts skills weren’t impressive, but their escape techniques were quite astonishing and surprising.


    What piqued Chu Ge’s curiosity even more was that they also began searching for the Sword Soul.


    But isn’t the Demon Sword still in Gao Weijie’s hand? Why are they also searching for the Sword Soul?


    Or did Gao Weijie reach some sort of agreement with them?


    Chu Ge spected in his heart, wondering how Jian Chunqiu was doing in Southern Fujian, whether he had found Gao Weijie and Zun Di.


    ...


    At this time, in the Southern Fujian region.


    Deep in the mountains, Jian Chunqiu was slowly advancing with a group of Ancient Martial Artists.


    They had been searching in thisrge mountain for three days and nights, yet there was not a single trace of Gao Weijie and Zun Di.


    "Elder Jian, is this information reliable?"


    One of them stepped forward and asked worriedly, his temper somewhat irritable, speaking particrly fast, "Elder Jian, we have been searching here for three days and nights, but we haven’t found anything. Could it be that they are not here at all?"


    Jian Chunqiu gently shook his head, "This deep mountain is so vast, they might be hiding somewhere, we cannot miss any opportunity."


    "But continuing to search like this will only deplete our manpower and resources."


    Jian Chunqiu sighed lightly, "Do we have a better method now?"


    The person remained silent.


    "ording to the information, we know they are hiding in this mountain. Presumably, there is something in this mountain they want. Otherwise, why would theye here?"


    Jian Chunqiu looked at the deep forest and sighed lightly, "Everyone, keep up your spirit and continue searching."


    Seeing this, the others said nothing more and resumed searching.


    But after searching for a whole day, they found nothing.


    Back at the hotel, Jian Chunqiu felt something was off. Why did theye to the Southern Fujian region for no reason? Could it be that they want to go directly to the Man Yue n?


    No, considering Gao Weijie’s injury, he hadn’t recovered so quickly, so there must be a true purpose they hadn’t discovered yet.


    While Jian Chunqiu was deep in thought, a carrier pigeonnded on his window, which was specifically used by them on Spirit Mountain for sending letters.


    Jian Chunqiu walked over, took the note from the pigeon, and upon seeing its contents, his face turned grim.


    This Zun Di was indeed cunning, creating an illusion for them. Zun Di and Gao Weijie hadn’t left the Capital City at all!


    Jian Chunqiu didn’t hesitate any longer and gathered the others, preparing to head back to the Capital City overnight.


    Because of tracing Zun Di and Gao Weijie, he had transferred the majority of the Ancient Martial Artists from the Capital City, leaving only a few to maintain normal order.


    Jian Chunqiu called Chu Ge, telling him that Zun Di and Gao Weijie were actually still in the Capital City and to be careful.


    Chu Ge recounted the incident of the Japanese visiting during daytime to Jian Chunqiu.


    "I suspect that Gao Weijie might have allied with those Japanese."


    Jian Chunqiu pondered for a moment, "Whether they have allied or not, since they are still in the Capital City, it indicates that they haven’t truly given up on the Sword Soul."


    Chu Ge agreed, "I know this well, I will be cautious and protect Ming Chong closely."


    That they deciphered the array at the vi was unexpected for Chu Ge, he needed to find a way to reinforce and consolidate it.


    Finally, Chu Ge thought ofyering another array on top of the existing one, making it a double array, so the mechanisms within the array interlocked yet weren’t fixed, allowing for unpredictability.


    Chu Ge was busy with the array all night, finishing it by dawn.


    When Lin Dong and the others knew someone came again to snatch Ming Chong, they strengthened their protection around him, deciding that someone must always be by Ming Chong’s side for protection.


    Although Ming Chong no longer disliked Lin Dong as much, his attitude towards Lin Dong was still the same as before, just less confrontational.


    Coincidentally, it was Lin Dong’s turn to take care of Ming Chong today.


    Lin Dong rubbed his hands together, smiling as he looked at Ming Chong, saying: "Ming Chong, today I’m taking care of you, do you have anything fun you particrly want to do? Tell me, I’ll take you to y."


    Ming Chong was sitting in the living room ying with toys. Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Ming Chong looked up at him with a faint gaze, chuckled lightly, and said: "Do you think I would believe you?"


    Lin Dong paused, then lightly pursed his lips with an awkward smile, "Ming Chong, don’t say that, I am actually very trustworthy."


    Ming Chong gave an oh with a hint of realization, then said: "In that case, you should stay far away from me, I would much prefer if you stay far away from me."


    Lin Dong was momentarily speechless, looking at Ming Chong with a face full of sorrow, "Ming Chong, are you serious?"


    Ming Chong looked up at Lin Dong and nodded slightly, "Yes, of course, I’m serious, I really want you to stay far away from me."


    Lin Dong clutched his chest as if wounded, and said painfully, "Ming Chong, for you to say this, it really hurts my feelings."


    Ming Chong, however, said indifferently, "If it hurts your feelings, then you should leave."


    "..." Lin Dong was at a loss for words.


    Why does he feel like he’s in a drama, like one of those heart-wrenching idol dramas?


    Lin Dong sought help from Chu Ge, hoping he would say something on his behalf.


    Chu Ge, however, gave a light cough, pretending not to see anything, continuing with his busy work.


    Lin Dong then looked at Lin Zhao, who surpressed hisughter while silently walking past him with a water cup.


    Lin Dong finally looked at Long Ang, who, fortunately, did not ignore him, but instead made a helpless gesture with both hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.


    Lin Dong’s lips twitched, and having no choice, he braced himself and spoke to Ming Chong again: "Ming Chong, do you still hold a grudge against me for pretending to be you before?"


    Ming Chong’s face immediately showed signs of anger when he heard this, "Lin Dong! How dare you bring that up! Ugly! Ugly! Too ugly!"


    Everyone present was taken aback, surprised, they stared at Ming Chong, who had never spoken so many words consecutively before.


    Lin Dong was even more surprised at Ming Chong, yet he quickly regained his senses, gave a small cough, and said: "Since you hold such a grudge against me, I’ll stay by your side today, let you vent your anger at me, how’s that?"


    Ming Chong looked at Lin Dong, not saying a word for a long time, and Lin Dong was nervous and unsure of what Ming Chong was thinking. This was hisst resort, if Ming Chong still disagreed, he’d have to discuss it again with Chu Ge.
