Chapter 638: Two Strange People
An Chuxue’s X-ray vision, although not possessing any offensive capabilities, has been growing in range and distance as she began her cultivation.
When Han Jing had just followed Han Qingjue to the underground palace, she stayed in the front hall of Beihan Palace and meticulously examined the entire Beihan Palace, not leaving a single corner unchecked. Unless there was a very strong barrier blocking her sight, it was impossible for her not to see clearly. And in the entire Beihan Palace, besides the underground palace having a barrier, there were no other places with barriers that she couldn’t see through.
After Han Jing and others entered the underground palace, she was given some time, yet she did not discover anything unusual.
"I’m almost certain that Brother Yun is not in Beihan Palace." The reason An Chuxue couldn’t say she was completely sure was that, at the limit of her capabilities, she had already checked every corner of Beihan Palace. In the Spirit Cultivation Realm, many things can’t be explained by common sense, for example, various treasures can trap people, which is well beyond her capability.
Han Jing nodded, resting one arm on her other arm, and thoughtfully propped her chin with her hand.
Indeed, if Yun Feng went to Hanwu Forest knowing that the Soul Stabilizing Needle was unsolvable, it seems quite illogical. Since he knew the Soul Stabilizing Needle was unsolvable, why would he go to such a dangerous place like Hanwu Forest? Furthermore, even if he wanted to go, he could have first returned to the Ghost Realm to inform them and then go. This wouldn’t have conflicted at all. But he didn’t do so. Despite knowing how anxious they were, he left not a single piece of information and directly disappeared, even giving them the impression that he might be imprisoned in Beihan Palace by Han Qingjue.
Han Jing couldn’t figure out why, as all this seemed unreasonable.
Could it be Yun Feng had some compelling reason not to return to the Ghost Realm? But what reason could he have for not returning? They are all anxiously waiting for his news, yearning for him to explain what happened, yet he disappeared without a word, telling them nothing—why?
Or perhaps, is there something he can’t let them know about? They already knew that Su Yu had the Soul Stabilizing Needle implanted by Xia Ji, so what else could there be that they mustn’t know?
Han Jing suddenly felt that the truth they always assumed might have some distortions.
If Han Qingjue had done something to Su Yu and Yun Feng, she could empathize that they might have some urgent dilemma. But after meeting Han Qingjue today, it seemed not to be the case. Han Qingjue had allowed Su Yu to leave and didn’t stop Yun Feng either, indicating that the person posing a threat to them wasn’t Han Qingjue.
Without any threat, why is it that their actions defy reason?
Han Jing suddenly stopped, glanced at the others, and then dragged Lan Ling out by his clothes.
Having walked far enough to ensure no one followed, she finally stopped and placed a barrier.
Confused, Lan Ling asked her, "What’s going on?"
Han Jing shook her head, paused, picked up a small twig from the ground, and started drawing on the ground. Suddenly, she blurted out something that nearly made Lan Ling jump in fright.
