Chapter 247: Chapter 171: Zheng Hai's Whereabouts_3

This time, the Yi Yao Secret Skill was unexpectedly unclear, which puzzled him.

After some thought, he did not continue to enter the city, instead, he went back towards the outskirts. Once he was about a kilometer from Immortal City, Han Yi continued to use the Yi Yao Secret Skill for calculation. He found out that the Yi Yao Secret Skill was back to normal again, still pointing towards Jia Shan City.

Next, he flew around Jia Shan City, calculating each time he covered a certain distance. Regardless of his position, the location indicated by the magic skill was always Jia Shan City.

Half a day later, he returned to the city gate with conviction in his heart. Zheng Hai was definitely in the city. However, the moment he entered the city, the cause and effect became confused and obscured, so he could not calculate the specific location.

At this moment.

A figure emerged from Jia Shan City and landed above the entrance of Immortal City. He looked at Han Yi with vigilant eyes and spoke cautiously: “Daoist, are you planning to enter the city?”

Han Yi looked toward the direction of the voice. A faint golden light radiated from his eyes. The cultivator who had emerged from the city was wearing a light golden magic robe. According to his Qi Observation Skill, this cultivator was only at the Foundation Building Early Stage, but Han Yi did not take him lightly.

The six departments of Immortal City within the scope of Daqian Immortal Country were: the Immortal Official Department, Immortal Household Department, Immortal Courtesy Department, Military Department, Department of Punishment, and Tiangong Ministry.

Among them, the city lord and deputy city lord were selected from these six departments. Under each department, there were several specialized departments. For example, under the Immortal Official Department, there were the Demon Extermination Guard and Monster Slaying Army. Under the Immortal Courtesy Department, there was the Daqian Sky Bureau. Under the Department of Punishment, there were the Bandit-Catching Department and Patrol Division.

Nonetheless, regardless of which department a cultivator came from, they all represented the Daqian Immortal Country.

Han Yi approached with his Sword Control, but he also maintained a safe distance to prevent misunderstandings.

“I am Han Yi from the Heavenly Will Sect. I have come to Jia Shan City to look for a friend,” Han Yi said with a bow.

Han Yi did not reveal his identity from the Xuandan Sect because he had another identity, that of the Heavenly Will Sect.

Moreover, Han Yi of the Heavenly Will Sect was officially registered with Daqian. He was also an official Four Orders Inspector of Daqian. If he couldn't find Zheng Hai, Han Yi thought he may need the help of Daqian's officials. This identity would be useful.

“Alright, Daoist, please land first.” Upon hearing the words “Heavenly Will Sect”, the man was slightly taken aback, but he quickly steadied himself and asked Han Yi to land first.

The pathway at the entrance immediately cleared out for ordinary Qi Cultivating Cultivators and mortals.

Han Yi landed accordingly. The man saw his surroundings and knew it was not convenient to speak here. He led Han Yi into Immortal City.

“Today is my turn to be on duty. I saw you circling the city earlier as if you were inspecting something, so I was cautious. Please do not take offense.”

“I am Yuan Fei from the Daqian Sky Bureau.”

“Who are you looking for, Daoist?”

Han Yi paused slightly and then said directly, “I'm looking for a fellow Daoist named Zheng Hai, a disciple of the Xuandan Sect. His realm is at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.”

“Just now, I was using a magic skill to track my fellow Daoist's whereabouts. However, as soon as I entered the city, the skill failed. May I ask why, Daoist Yuan?”

Han Yi had carried out an investigation at Little Lingxu Peak. Before Zheng Hai disappeared, he had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.

Yuan Fei understood: “1 see, I initially thought you had some ulterior motives, but it turns out to be this situation.”

“You must be using the magic skill of Qi tracing. This skill is indeed effective outside the city, but it does not work once you enter the city. That's because in the city, the luck of Daqian Country is in charge, and only the city lord can use the Daqian City Suppression Magic Weapon to determine destiny tracing.”

Moved, Han Yi was about to display his Four Orders Inspector token to reveal his identity and request Yuan Fei to report to the city lord. He hoped to negotiate a compromise, pay some cost, and calculate Zheng Hai's whereabouts.

Looking for someone without guidance was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, just as he was about to act.

Yuan Fei spoke again, “However, even for a city lord, it's not possible to arbitrarily summon the city's treasure and investigate its cause. It requires the imperial edict of Gu Shu Immortal City to do so.”

“Daoist Han, if you want to trace someone in Jia Shan City using the method of causality tracing, it won't work.”

Han Yi felt somewhat disappointed, but nevertheless, asked persistently, “The imperial edict of Gu Shu Immortal City? Who can issue such an edict?”

Yuan Fei laughed, “The entire Daqian, His Majesty, the three great dukes, the seven great marquises, the six ministers, and the three great assistant ministers all have this power.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi knew he probably couldn't go down this route.

He thought for a moment, didn't reveal his Patrol Order, but instead asked, “Then, is there any other way to find this person?”

Yuan Fei nodded, “Of course there is. The most direct method is to search slowly on your own. But human efforts have limits, and there are many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Mengshan City. If you extend your spiritual consciousness out, it may easily lead to misunderstandings. So, you must be cautious.”

At this point, Yuan Fei glanced at Han Yi.

The reputation of cultivators from the Heavenly Will Sect is not good. With this remark, Yuan Fei was reminding Han Yi not to extend his spiritual consciousness unnecessarily to probe the surroundings. If he encounters another cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, they'd immediately know and it could easily cause conflicts.

Han Yi nodded. He had already Known this.

Ordinary cultivators, upon reaching the early stage of Foundation Establishment, their spiritual consciousness would enhance and they could extend it to half a kilometer. Upon reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, it could be expanded to two kilometers. Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could extend it up to ten kilometers at most.

Of course, the range of spiritual consciousness extension is linked to the strength of the divine soul.

Han Yi had tested it before. When he was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he could extend his spiritual consciousness to about two kilometers. Upon reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he could extend it to eight kilometers.

This was a special characteristic of his divine soul's First-Class Immortal Foundation.

The strength of his current divine soul was equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and among them, his level was not weak.

However, even if the range of his spiritual consciousness extension was large, if he extended it in the Immortal City and was detected by other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be regarded as spying on other cultivators.

Such behavior, if the other party was a cultivator of righteousness, they would warn you. If it was a vicious person, they might initiate a fight immediately. If the strength was strong, it's okay. If the strength was weak and you got killed, that would be suicide.

Of course, Han Yi would not be so arrogant. He said seriously, “Rest assured, Daoist Yuan, I will not be so reckless.”

Upon hearing Han Yi's words, Yuan Fei's expression softened considerably. Han Yi's attitude comforted him, at least judging from his attitude, he was easy to communicate with and didn't seem to have any problems.

“However, inside Jia Shan City, there are small factions of Qi cultivating cultivators, family clans of Qi cultivators, and loose cultivators. If you're willing to pay a certain price, you can ask these people to help find someone. This is the most convenient and quickest method.”

“Based on my many years of experience in Jia Shan City, Daoist Han, you might as well go to the Li family market. The Li family is considered the top cultivation family in Mengshan City, with three Foundation Establishment cultivators in their clan. They not only do business in the cultivation world but also have dealings in the mundane world.”

“If you want to find someone in Jia Shan City, besides the official of Daqian, the Li family has such capabilities.”

Han Yi thanked him with a nod, got the location of the Li family market from Yuan Fei, and then turned and left.

Behind him…

Yuan Fei watched Han Yi leave, a puzzled look on his face.

“Han Yi from the Heavenly Will Sect, he seems different from the cultivators of the Heavenly Will Sect as described in rumors.”

After his moment of confusion, he furrowed his brows.

“However, after all, it is the Heavenly Will Sect, one can't let one's guard down.”

“I hope he doesn't cause any trouble..”
