After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2551 Master Duan, Who Does What He Wants
Duan Heyun picked a rose and put it in her hair, which even attracted two little bees, making A-Lian giggle.

Xiao Ping stayed at Lingyun Palace and did not come along, so she did not have to witness this distressing scene.

He Lingchuan glanced at his shoulder out of the corner of his eye and saw another yellow line.

The gaze of God has returned.

But he remained calm, because every steward, experimental subject, demon puppeteer, and army commander who came out of Yanxia Bay had such an antenna stuck to them.

Of course, Duan Heyun and Alian were no exception. The antennae on Alian's body were even dark red, a darker and more accurate color than the threads on the bodies of the cultivators who were being watched in Baisong City yesterday.

This is a key point.

Clearly, the gods wanted to keep track of the whereabouts of every important traveler, especially Ah Lian's; "Hu Xin" was just an inconspicuous member among them.

At this time, Steward Liu asked a few people and then went to the nearby woods to find Steward Hu.

The woods were so dense that sunlight couldn't penetrate them. He had only walked a few feet when he heard a loud crash in the distance, like trees falling down, and startled birds took flight, cawing loudly.

He asked in surprise and doubt: "Commander Hu?"

Another figure flashed in that direction, startling Manager Liu.

However, the visitor was none other than Commander Hu, who frowned and asked him, "I just came in to relieve myself. What are you doing here?"

Everyone needs to use the restroom sometimes.
"Just now, that..."

"That was me just now," Commander Hu said irritably. "What urgent matter do you have that you came in looking for me about?"

"Ah, yes, there are." Manager Liu then reported.

It turns out that one of the experimental subjects in the cage woke up early, and the guard who was leaning against it didn't notice and got bitten on the arm. Now his life is in danger.

He Lingchuan, disguised as Hu Xin, rolled his eyes.

This job is really tough. Since the start of planning this field release, there have been dozens of troubles and accidents, big and small. Some he has to handle, and some he has to report.

Actually, when he entered the forest, he first surveyed the area to make sure it was safe and there were no spies nearby, and then released all the helpers from the cardamom garden.

While he was dealing with these trivial matters, Ling Jinbao and the other idle people were eating melon seeds and drinking tea, only this time in Dong Rui's snail-toad space.

The snail-toad has already hidden underground and will not attract anyone's attention.

These guys always travel in and out of Lingyun Palace in secret vehicles, so it seems only He Lingchuan is busy with all the work.

Seeing He Lingchuan so busy, Dong Rui laughed and said, "Du Shan and Liu Qingdao are always so busy, it's time to let Jiuyou experience it for himself."

In Cangyan, if the Nine Nether Emperor had an idea, his subordinates would rack their brains and run themselves ragged trying to figure it out.

However, the Nine Nether Emperor had many ideas, and several would pop up every few days. Each one required someone to implement it. The capable ministers and generals below dared not complain to him, and often teased each other while drinking tea and wine at public banquets.

After resolving the minor incident involving the demon puppet, He Lingchuan, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, took out the "Yangguan Road" and shone it on A-Lian's back.

He moved quickly, and the small lens was concealed in his hand, making it difficult for anyone to notice.

Then he saw two dots appear on the mirror of "Yangguan Road".

The deep red dot is Ah Lian; this can be confirmed without a doubt.

But there was another very faint blue dot, which also appeared on A-Lian's body.

The Soul-Capturing Mirror immediately spotted it: "Huh, what's that?"

He Lingchuan said in a low voice, "Eye mites."

He has recently been exploring the use of "Yangguandao" and can now command it to distinguish different life forms.

For example, humans and insects are both life forms, but they possess different energies. When both are separated by a wall, the path of sunlight will give its owner a hint.

This small blue dot represents a life form that is very small in size and has a weak sense of self, and it is located on A-Lian's forehead.

Furthermore, He Lingchuan had previously noticed something moving in her pupils. A-Lian said that it was something Duan Heyun had put in her ear, which made her very itchy and she often wanted to rub her eyes.

Based on the above, it is not difficult to conclude that Duan Heyun inserted eye mites into her.

This little thing is harmless to the host; it will only transmit the images and sounds seen by the host to Duan Heyun.

A-Lian is one of Duan Heyun and Lingyun Palace's most important assets, so there are naturally many ways to control and monitor her, not just one.

He Lingchuan initially tried to stop the Heavenly Demons from obtaining the "Yangguan Path" from Shangguan Biao, solely to disrupt their divine descent plan. However, he now discovers that this treasure is also a powerful reconnaissance tool. Those symbiotic insects lurking in people's bodies—whether they are eye mites, echo insects, three-corpse worms, life-sharing Gu, or even the child-devouring Qi beasts that haven't yet emerged from the body, as well as the brain-devouring insect demons that can control the host's body—are difficult to detect with the naked eye, but none can escape the illumination of the "Yangguan Path."

In a way, it is also a mirror that reveals true nature.

At this moment, someone from the front of the group reported that they would reach Luanshan after advancing another five li.

Upon hearing this, everyone inside the Snail Toad Space perked up.

They arrived at Luanshan a step ahead of the Lingyun Palace team and were making preparations. In particular, Aunt Zhu, having been idle for two days, felt like her whole body was about to sprout mushrooms.

The team at Yanxia Bay considered the same thing, and all the groups involved in the release began preparations.

But just then, A-Lian shook Duan Heyun's hand and said in a childish voice, "I don't want to play here. There's nothing here, it's not fun!"

The terrain here is complex, but all you can see are flowers, trees, and valleys. Haven't they seen enough along their journey?

Ah Lian disliked this place.

Duan Heyun asked her, "Where do you want to go?"

She pouted, "Father, you know perfectly well, yet you still ask me."

Duan Heyun smiled: "Alright, A-Lian's decision is up to you. Let's change locations then. Inspector Hu—"

He Lingchuan felt a sense of foreboding, but he could only step forward: "Master Duan, are you trying to...?"

Every word Duan Heyun uttered was not what he wanted to hear:
"Let's not go to Luanshan, let's go to Baiqiu instead."

“This…” Hu Xin looked troubled. “Master Duan, this is the destination that Lingyun Palace has decided on in advance. It’s not good to change it at the last minute.”

"This is the place I originally chose, why can't I change it?" Duan Heyun's face darkened slightly. "It's all wasteland, why can we go to Luanshan but not Baiqiu?"

"Baiqiu is too close to Baisong City, less than five miles away. If we let it roam freely there, I'm afraid rumors will spread throughout the city the next day, saying that the monster is going to attack the city."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility." Duan Heyun said sternly. "You talk too much nonsense, are you going to replace me or not?"

Since even the person in charge of the project was being so unreasonable, He Lingchuan could only nod in agreement.

"Change it. I'll change it right away."

Upon hearing this, a chorus of complaints erupted inside the snail-toad shell.

"This guy surnamed Duan is far too capricious!" Dong Rui cursed. "We spent a lot of effort and made some elaborate arrangements in Luanshan!"
