Chapter 1667 Jinman also ran away
At the same time that Mingchuan successfully guided Chen Shu to switch to cultivating the "Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique" within the Wanchuan Sect.
Jin Man, exhausted from guarding the Burning Heaven Pavilion at the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect, finally received the crucial message she had been eagerly awaiting through her secret channels—
Mingchuan appears at Qingfeng Yumen and meets with Sect Leader Ye!
Although the message didn't mention any more details, Jinman's heart, which had been in turmoil, instantly calmed down!
"He's here! He's finally back! And he even went to Qingfeng Yumen..."
Jin Man's charming eyes flashed with a sharp light as her mind raced. "Since he dared to swagger over to see Sect Master Ye, it means that the matter in the human realm must have been settled! With his abilities and current situation, there's no way he would return to the Qingcheng Yufa Sect to walk into their trap... So he must have already found a place to settle down, and perhaps... even established his own sect!"
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Kingman was almost immediately certain.
Given Mingchuan's decisive and meticulous nature, he would never fight a battle unprepared!
"You, Mingchuan! You're quick on the uptake!" Jin Man's lips curled into a relieved yet excited smile. "You left me with this mess and Su Hongzhen, this powder keg that's about to explode, and went off to have some fun, huh?"
She glanced at the still tightly closed gate of the Burning Heaven Pavilion, which only appeared normal thanks to her secret maintenance of the illusion array, and then thought of Su Hongzhen's increasingly impatient and suspicious gaze. She knew she could no longer stay here.
The three-day deadline given by Su Hongzhen was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.
"We can't wait any longer!" Jin Man made a decisive decision. "If we don't leave now, when will we? Are we going to stay here and take the blame for that dead Cang Zi'ang and the runaway Ming Chuan?"
Without any hesitation, she immediately turned around, her posture still graceful and elegant, and returned to her residence without revealing the slightest flaw.
The moment she entered, the alluring smile on her face vanished, replaced by utter calmness and swiftness.
She quickly began packing her things, taking out a few of her most important personal items, some life-saving and disguise pills and talismans, as well as most of the spirit stones and precious materials she had accumulated, and stuffing them all into her storage bag.
Afterwards, he changed out of his eye-catching fancy clothes and put on a set of simple, elegant clothes that were easy to move in.
She removed all the jewels from her head and used only a simple wooden hairpin to tie up her dark hair.
In the mirror, she instantly transformed from a charming elder into an ordinary female cultivator who was beautiful but not particularly eye-catching.
After doing all this, she carefully eliminated any trace or scent she might have left in the room.
Then, like a ghost, he slipped out of his residence without making a sound, without alerting anyone.
With her familiarity with the array formations and restrictions of the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect and her elder privileges, she avoided the patrolling disciples and chose secluded paths, moving swiftly and stealthily towards the outer perimeter of the sect like a slippery fish.
First, leave the troublesome Qingcheng Yufa Sect, then find out Mingchuan's exact location and go there to seek refuge!
"You little rascal, I've put all my eggs in one basket with you! You better not let me down!"
Jin Man silently recited the mantra, and her figure finally blended into the nighttime forest surrounding the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect, disappearing from sight.
She stalked through the desolate mountains and wilderness for several days, constantly changing her direction and appearance, but this hiding was by no means a long-term solution.
"That kid Mingchuan must have built his lair up, hiding it so well!" Jinman, hiding in a cave, kicked away a pebble in frustration. "I'm no match for him. I'll have to ask that old man!"
She thought of Sect Leader Ye of Qingfeng Yumen.
Mingchuan had specifically gone to see him before, so the two were definitely in cahoots. Although going directly to his door was risky, it was the fastest way to find Mingchuan.
"Damn it, I'll risk it!" Jin Man removed most of her disguise, only slightly concealing her overly conspicuous face, and rushed towards Qingfeng Yumen.
Upon arriving at the gates of Qingfeng Yumen, she had no patience for wasting words with the disciples guarding the mountain. She directly released a trace of Nascent Soul stage pressure and said impatiently, "Hey! Go tell Old Man Ye that the sucker from Qingcheng Yufa Sect has come looking for him! It's urgent, hurry up!"
The disciples guarding the mountain were startled by her imposing manner, and when they heard her address the sect leader as "Old Man Ye," they dared not be negligent and hurriedly went in to report.
Upon hearing his disciple's report that the visitor was a hot-tempered female cultivator who constantly complained about being taken advantage of, Sect Master Ye immediately knew that it was Jin Man.
Mingchuan definitely didn't tell Jinman...
Otherwise, why would she come to me with such a bellyful of anger?
Jinman grew angrier the more she thought about it, and suddenly she gave these people a cold look, even wishing she could slap them all away on the spot.
They all seem like obstacles in my way, so annoying!
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from him, the disciples trembled with fear.
Sect Master Ye shook his head helplessly and said to his disciple, "Bring her over here, directly to me."
Inside the side hall, Jin Man didn't sit down at all. She paced back and forth with her arms crossed, looking impatient.
Upon seeing Sect Leader Ye enter, she immediately launched into a tirade: "Old man Ye! Stop with the nonsense! Where has that brat Mingchuan gone? Has he already settled things at the sect? Give me the address right now! I almost got skinned alive by that bastard Su Hongzhen while covering for him, and now that I've run away, I have nowhere to go!"
Looking at her like a powder keg, Sect Leader Ye said with a wry smile, "Elder Jinman, you... at least let this old man catch his breath."
"What are you panting for! If you breathe any more, the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect's pursuers will be here!" Jin Man glared at him. "Hurry up, don't dawdle! I know you definitely know! That kid came looking for you before, you two are definitely in cahoots!"
Sect Leader Ye coughed repeatedly from her choking, and knowing the situation was urgent, he stopped beating around the bush.
He took out a specially made jade talisman that Mingchuan had given him before he left, handed it to Jinman, and said irritably, "Take it! Take this and wander around the innermost part of Falling Star Gorge. Someone will pick you up when the time comes. Remember, be quiet, and don't make a fuss and attract trouble!"
Jin Man snatched the jade talisman, feeling the familiar spatial fluctuations. A look of relief finally appeared on her face, but she still wouldn't let it go:
"That's more like it! Let's go!"
Without saying a word, she turned and left, her figure disappearing outside the side hall in a few flashes.
Sect Leader Ye looked at the empty entrance and sighed helplessly, "Alas, these are all ancestors..."
He rubbed his temples, hoping that Mingchuan was ready and could handle this big trouble that had rushed in so quickly.
