Chapter 417: The Black Wind Mountain Killing Array

Three quarters into the Zi hour.

At the top of the bell tower, Su Ming’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The heavy nanmu rear door of the Yongchang Marquis Manor silently opened a slit just wide enough for one person to slip through.

A figure that blended completely into the darkness slid out of the gap like a phantom. It was a person in a black robe, carrying no light source, not even making a single footstep sound.

The black-robed man left the alley and, extremely cautious, glanced around. After confirming no one was nearby, he pressed to the wall like a night bird and dashed toward the outskirts of the city.

“He’s come.”

Su Ming inhaled deeply, his body drifting down from the bell tower like a fallen leaf caught by the wind.

He did not immediately follow. Instead, relying on the faint, icy current of killing qi his divine sense had detected, he hung far behind the black-robed figure. The distance between them remained just beyond the limit of a single street.

The black-robed man’s counter-surveillance skill was excellent. He made several large loops through the city and even deliberately stopped in several dead-end alleys, trying to flush out any potential tail.

But Su Ming did not rely on visual tracking. He pushed the Aura Concealment Art to its extremes and, using only the faint trail that the blood-killing qi left in the air, tenaciously locked onto the other person.After passing through the city gate, the black-robed man suddenly accelerated, becoming a blur, disappearing into the stretch of black mountains to the northeast outside the capital.

Su Ming stopped at the foot of the mountain and did not rashly enter. He lifted his head and stared at the eerie peaks, which gaped like open maws in the night, a sliver of sharp light flashing through his eyes.
