Mr. Mi was clearly surprised and responded, "I was already planning to go to Xijing, just catching a taxi to the high-speed train station now, do you have anything urgent?"
He Kao: "I have matters to discuss in person, it won't take up much of your ti, let's et at the high-speed train station…"
He Kao imdiately headed to Qi Yuan South Station, and halfway there, he specially perford a Clearing Skill to erase the environntal aura lingering on him and transford into Feng Zilong's appearance.
In the corner of a fast-food restaurant in front of the station, the two who had just t bumped into each other again.
He Kao wasted no words, directly using Spiritual Sense Gathering Sound to say, "Could you tell if Julie, the elder of the Supre Council of Xiao Alliance, has also arrived in Qi Yuan, and went to find that university counselor nad Luo Mingzhi a few days ago?"
Mr. Mi awkwardly explained, "That is correct, Julie primarily ca to assist ."
He Kao: "Assist you?"
Mr. Mi said, "The Supre Council appointed as the general manager for Eastern Country affairs. I need to rebuild the personnel and intelligence network by clarifying whether the channels previously controlled by Jiaobide still exist, and what possible issues might be present."
He Kao: "Since it's a cooperative relationship, I ask passersby not to ss around asking for directions."
Mr. Mi tentatively said, "Didn't expect your intelligence to be so insightful, you found out so quickly?"
He Kao: "Soone reported to the police!"
Mr. Mi: "Sorry, I'll remind Julie to be more careful. Is there anything else Mr. Huo Qing asked to convey?"
He Kao: "Besides Julie, another Tier Five Heart Stealer also went to find Luo Mingzhi, does Mr. Mi know who it is?"
Mr. Mi's pupils slightly contracted, retorted, "Is the information reliable?"
He Kao: Certainly! Can you tell how many Heart Stealers are in the Xiao Alliance, could it be Wenges elder that you ntioned today?"
Mr. Mi shook his head and said, "It couldn't be Wenges; he's still in the United States and hasn't set out yet. Without a definite response from the Ancestral Hall, he couldn't have co to Eastern Country… and nor could nlu; it appears to be Hillary most likely."
Among his spoken Divine Thought, based on his knowledge, the Xiao Alliance currently only has three Tier Five Heart Stealers.
Originally, the Supre Council had two cultivators of Xingshen bloodline, they were Grand Elder Grossi and nlu. Grossi was slain in Qi Yuan, and newly-appointed Grand Elder Hu Weidong proposed to add another cultivator of Xingshen bloodline to the Supre Council.
This amounts to choosing between Wenges and Hillary. Hu Weidong eventually selected Wenges, jointly recomnding with several other elders.
Being unable to beco an elder, Hillary was quite discontent with Hu Weidong.
Hu Weidong did it deliberately, since Hillary was a staunch ally of Grand Elder Arthur, anyway not on the sa side, so it's worth offending, it even adds Wenges as an ally in the Supre Council.
Mr. Mi finally said, "Even I didn't know about this information, thanks to you for that, it looks like soone is still uneasy about and sent another expert over."
This was the first ti Mr. Mi ntioned the internal factional conflict of the Xiao Alliance in front of He Kao, sothing he had always avoided discussing before, which shows how much it had impacted him.
He Kao: "If you truly want to thank , please provide detailed information about Hillary, the more detailed, the better. Focus on high-resolution photos, audio, and video, as well as identity background and cultivation characteristics."
Mr. Mi: "Hillary usually lives in seclusion, spending most of the ti in hidden cultivation, often no one knows where he is... I will try to gather the information as quickly as possible and give it to you."
Mr. Mi was about to catch the train, only said a few words before hurriedly leaving, he sighed during departure, ntioning how back when he left Eastern Country, he never dread that today's Eastern Country would have such advanced high-speed trains.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, the information about Hillary was sent to the email specified by He Kao.
He Kao pondered, Mr. Mi, who is actually Hu Weidong, likely cares about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so quickly, it seems he has intentions of using soone else's knife — borrowing the blade of the Magic Sect.
Though Hillary is a Tier Five cultivator of Xingshen bloodline, not part of the Supre Council, his whereabouts are hidden, Hu Weidong seldom interacted with him and doesn't directly control the other's situation.
Such an expert, following Hu Weidong into Eastern Country, stirring things in the sa city, has even drawn Magic Sect's attention and investigation.
From any perspective, this is a dangerous signal. So he hopes to harness the power of Magic Sect quickly, investigate the matter, and eliminate the potential threat.
He Kao requested data to dismiss the threat, a Tier Five Heart Stealer if secretly causing chaos is extrely threatening, simply too unpredictable.
Even soone with advanced cultivation like i Guyu couldn't possibly monitor every movent within the range of his Divine Sense, an expert who excels at hiding would be hard to detect routinely.
Experts of the Xingshen Sect are even more troubleso; they are adept at perceiving and influencing emotions, skilled in various illusion techniques, capable of subtly distorting people's cognition, perfectly suited for deceit and intelligence gathering.
These visitors might be targeting Hu Weidong, or they might be after the Magic Sect. What other goals would such experts have upon arriving in Qi Yuan?
He Kao could easily guess that he would probably be targeted. Not to ntion the Xiao Alliance, many scoundrels within the Magic Sect have targeted him before, attempting to uncover clues about the Hidden Moth.
Given He Kao's cultivation skills, he's actually not afraid of confronting them head-on; his worry is that they might act from the shadows... So He Kao's plan is to lure them out.
He Kao now has Tier Five Cultivation, but very few people are aware of this and those who are, can be trusted. Many outsiders don't even know he has broken through Tier Four; in the eyes of most people, this programr at most has Tier Three Cultivation.
This kind of misjudgnt will cause the opponent to suffer greatly... As for whether the plan will succeed, it must first be tried.
The information provided by Hu Weidong includes high-resolution photos of Hilarie, along with several videos showing appearances at public venues. The appearance, body shape, and voice of this person are quite distinct.
In today's era where surveillance is everywhere and everyone has a smartphone, it's not difficult to collect this kind of information if you know where to look. It seems Hu Weidong had been doing quite a bit of work in the shadows.
He Kao's cultivation is close to Tier Five Perfection, and the exclusive Divine Techniques of the Hidden Moth Sect include Yin Spirit Travel, which can quickly locate people or things within the range of one's Divine Sense based on gathered information.
After receiving the materials, he first reported this situation to Li Xiuyuan, then returned to the Sesa Apartnt. The phone screen was too small, so He Kao opened the materials on his computer, constructing the Primordial Spirit Heart Image while watching.
He constructed an image of Hilarie within his Primordial Spirit, including information about the face, physique, and voice, striving to make it distinct, complete, and vivid.
Once the Primordial Spirit Heart Image was mostly constructed, He Kao activated the Divine Technique of Yin Spirit Pursuit—but the Yin Spirit didn't leave his body, finding nothing, indicating the technique had failed.
It's quite normal for the technique not to succeed; the reasons could be twofold. Firstly, Hilarie might not be within the reach of He Kao's Primordial Spirit.
Currently, he is only suspicious and has not confird that person as Hilarie. If the opposite party is not Hilarie, and Hilarie himself is in the United States, it's natural his Yin Spirit would fail to pursue.
The second reason might be incorrect or insufficiently detailed information.
This can't be helped. Whether photos or audio-video records, they are essentially indirect information. He Kao doesn't know Hilarie personally or hasn't t him, so a Primordial Spirit Heart Image constructed from indirect information can't directly locate the person himself.
The next day, i Wenhua inford him of a matter: that Tier Five Heart Stealer suspected to be Xiao Alliance's cultivator Hilarie, advising him to be cautious...
This news was actually provided by He Kao to the Ancestral Hall, which then inford i Wenhua, and i Wenhua in turn reminded He Kao—a small boorang of sorts.
The secret eting between He Kao and Hu Weidong even i Wenhua didn't know; Boss i was even less likely to know the intelligence ca from He Kao asking around Hu Weidong.
Arriving at work, He Kao tried closing his eyes and concentrating to activate the Divine Technique again, which still wasn't successful... It seed the possibility of using the exclusive Divine Technique of the Hidden Moth Sect to find the opponent was slim.
Whether at the Sesa Apartnt or work, it was likely that person dared not get too close, so He Kao had to be far enough away from i Guyu.
If the opposite party is indeed interested in him, there might be so covert probing. Being a Hidden Moth, He Kao could sense if anyone was spying on him.
That day, He Kao took the initiative to stay late at work; when i Guyu left, he didn't go right away, staying for a while longer before leaving the company. He didn't return to Sesa Apartnt but drove to Pugang Town.
Driving makes it easy to detect a Peeping Tom, because if soone was focused on him, their attention would usually be on the car's dynamics, not on He Kao himself inside the car.
If soone focuses particularly on He Kao himself, there might be an issue.
Throughout the journey, He Kao didn't discover anything unusual, and returning to his old ho courtyard was no different. But he was very patient, and even the next day, he didn't go back to the Sesa Apartnt but went to Pugang Town after work.
On the third day, soone indeed made a move.
He Kao commuted over thirty kiloters for work each way, and that day instead of taking the bridge, he chose the river tunnel. Upon exiting the tunnel, he sensed sothing strange... He was being observed.
Thus, He Kao didn't return ho, instead turning towards the Bai Ma River outside the town. He parked and retrieved a fishing set from the trunk.
Fishing is prohibited in the Great River now, but it's still allowed in tributary bay rivers like Bai Ma River. Regulations confine it to one rod per person, no live baiting, electric fishing, or fish bombing.
This fishing gear was specially prepared by him, initially intended to be brought to the Floating Colors Grotto Heaven, where everyone could fish leisurely in the mountains and supplent als with fresh catch, though he hadn't had the chance to bring it over.
With a plastic bucket and a small folding chair, he sat prepared by the river, setting up the fishing rod, but intentionally had not brought any bait, opting to mold so clay from the ground onto the hook, mimicking baiting.
He didn't even dig up worms, taking things rather casually.
