Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

Bai Yifei led a team of soldiers and advanced rapidly through the dense woods. They stared straight ahead with a determined look in their eyes.

They chased along the route that Yan Lingji might have escaped, their steps light and nimble.

However, after chasing for a while, Bai Yifei suddenly raised his hand and signaled the team to stop.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

He knew very well that the forest was dense and complex. If Yan Lingji really escaped in this direction, she would soon enter a terrain that was even more difficult to track.

However, based on his understanding of Bai Yifei, Yan Lingji is not a rash person.

She should be well aware that walking in such a place would leave more traces that are easy to track.

Bai Yifei couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had made a wrong judgment, or whether Yan Lingji had deliberately set a trap to lure him into it?

Bai Yifei decided to stop and carefully observe the surrounding environment, trying to think about the problem from Yan Lingji's perspective.

He noticed that some of the bushes had shown signs of being moved, and the fallen leaves on the ground looked a little messy, as if someone had passed by in a hurry.

However, these traces were so obvious that they seemed like a deliberate illusion.

He slowly squatted down and carefully examined the footprints and other subtle clues on the ground.

Although on the surface everything seemed to point to Yan Lingji, Bai Yifei felt that things were not that simple.

He believed that Yan Lingji would not easily put himself in trouble, and there must be some other plans or strategies waiting for him.

Bai Yifei stood up and glanced at the surrounding trees and grass.

He knew that in order to find the real clues, he had to break conventional thinking and observe from different angles.

So he began to pay attention to those seemingly ordinary details, looking for clues hidden in them.

Next to a bush, he found some broken branches, and the signs of breaking were very fresh.

He gently stroked the broken branch and thought to himself, "Could it be that Yan Lingji changed direction here?"

He walked a few more steps forward and found a patch of bent grass.

The grass here is still moist, obviously someone has just passed by.

Bai Yifei's eyes gradually became sharper, and he realized that he might have found Yan Lingji's true whereabouts.

He whispered, "Follow me!" and then carefully groped forward following the newly discovered clues.

Although his heart was still full of doubts, Bai Yifei believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to solve the mystery and find the whereabouts of Yan Lingji.

"She's confusing us, distracting us."

Bai Yifei whispered to himself: "Yan Lingji, what on earth do you want to do? Do you really think you can escape from me?"

His eyes suddenly became sharp, as if they could penetrate the darkness and see everything in the distance.

He turned his head and looked in the opposite direction, where the trees were sparser and the terrain was relatively open.

"Change direction. She went in that direction."

Bai Yifei pointed decisively to another road, his tone firm and confident.

Although the soldiers looked puzzled, they obeyed his command without hesitation.

They quickly adjusted their formation and prepared to move forward in the direction indicated by Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei walked quickly to the front with vigorous and powerful steps.

He knew very well that Yan Lingji would most likely use this open area to speed up her escape and avoid too much contact with the pursuers.

He had to rely on his understanding of her and his judgment of the situation to find her.

Under the leadership of Bai Yifei, the entire team shuttled through the woods like ghosts.

Everyone was on edge, concentrating on finding Yan Lingji's whereabouts.

Bai Yifei put all his energy into this chase. His intuition told him that only in this way could he win this battle of wits.

As time passed, night gradually fell. Bai Yifei knew that time was running out, and if he couldn't find Yan Lingji as soon as possible, she might escape.

He secretly made up his mind to catch this cunning woman.

Bai Yifei led the soldiers and moved slowly through the woods. Every step was like walking on thin ice, for fear that the slightest carelessness would trigger the trap set by Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji was like a slippery fish, always able to slip through his fingers.

The distance between them always maintained a delicate balance. Bai Yifei needed to be close enough to catch her, but not too close to avoid being discovered.

This tense atmosphere made everyone's heart beat faster.

"Sir, should we catch up?"

A soldier asked quietly.

Bai Yifei shook his head slightly: "No, we can't let her know of our presence."

He knew Yan Lingji's sharpness and wit. If they chased her too eagerly, she would only run faster. Therefore, he chose to wait patiently and look for the best time to strike.

However, as time passed and night fell, Bai Yifei began to feel uneasy.

If they continue like this, they will most likely lose Yan Lingji.

At this moment, there was a slight noise coming from the front. Bai Yifei immediately signaled the soldiers to stop and then quietly moved forward.

Through the gaps between the leaves, he saw Yan Lingji's figure quickly moving through the woods.

"It's now!"

Bai Yifei said in a low voice.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers quickly dispersed and formed a circle, ready to trap Yan Lingji.

But when they were about to get close, Yan Lingji suddenly turned around, with a cunning look in her eyes.

"No, get back!"

Bai Yifei shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Yan Lingji threw out a ball of fire from her hand, instantly igniting the surrounding grass and trees.

The fire spread rapidly, forming a wall of fire, blocking the way of Bai Yifei and others.

"hateful!"

Bai Yifei cursed and had to lead the soldiers to retreat.

By the time they finally put out the fire, Yan Lingji had disappeared without a trace.

He decided not to rely solely on his intuition and the traces at the scene, but to analyze more systematically the actions and strategies that Yan Lingji might take.

Bai Yifei gathered the soldiers and whispered new orders. He knew that time was running out.

They had to expand the search area while staying hidden so as not to alert Yan Lingji or Qian Guo's possible surveillance.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bai Yifei's determined face. There was an unyielding light in his eyes.

Although Yan Lingji managed to escape each time, Bai Yifei had no intention of giving up.

On the contrary, this cat-and-mouse game will only make him more determined to hunt down Yan Lingji.

As they gradually approached Qian State, Bai Yifei and his soldiers remained highly alert, as every step could be a new trap or clue.

But they are not afraid, because they have a mission that must be completed, which is to capture Yan Lingji and find out the truth.
