“I’m telling you this, but you won’t understand. Actually, I didn’t want to bother you about this at first, but who knew you would be so foolish as to find this place from somewhere?”
After saying these words, Xia Yan's friend glared at him fiercely, but Xia Yan didn't care and just smiled at him.
Seeing this scene, the helplessness in his friend's eyes deepened, and then he said:
"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it from you anymore. Do you remember what happened in the valley last time? This matter is related to that matter. I didn't lie to you about everything. After we left the valley, there were people chasing us, but we were too fast for you to notice. After we left that place, those people couldn't find our whereabouts, and that was the end of it."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's shock deepened. He truly hadn't expected this matter to be related to him. Realizing this, he glanced at his friend and then continued:
"If that's the case, then what happened in the end? Why did you come to western Sichuan a second time? Since you already knew there was danger, why did you come? And were you lying to me just now? Those bloodstains were on you, weren't they?"
Upon hearing these words, a hint of helplessness flashed in my friend's eyes, but he nodded to Xia Yan. Xia Yan's worry deepened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check on his friend's injuries, but was refused by his friend...
Seeing this, Xia Yan had no choice but to give up. However, he still wanted to know more about this matter. But at the same time, just as Xia Yan was about to ask, he heard footsteps approaching. Realizing this, the two looked at each other, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.
Actually, his friends had already explained things to Xia Yan beforehand. Xia Yan knew that someone was chasing 4.9 to kill him. Moreover, their current situation was extremely dangerous. Although they hadn't left any traces in the cave, if they wanted to hide in another place, they would definitely make a lot of noise.
Moreover, Xia Yan was also worried that something might happen to Qian Hua and Ram here. Realizing this, he glanced at his friend beside him, a determined look flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 490 Bait
Then she said to him:
“We absolutely cannot hesitate any longer on this matter. Listen, those footsteps are getting closer and closer to us. The most crucial thing now is for me to make some noise outside to distract those people. You wake up Qianhua and Ram and then take them away from here in time.”
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in his friend's eyes, but he strongly disagreed with the suggestion. Realizing this, he glanced at Xia Yan beside him and directly rejected him:
“I’m telling you, this is impossible. You can’t just sit here and say this. If you try to hide it from those people, what if you don’t come back? You’ve only dealt with them a few times. Let me go instead. I know them better. If I say it here, I’m so cunning, they definitely won’t catch me.”
A bitter smile slowly appeared on Xia Yan's lips. He knew perfectly well that his friend was still injured. Although he didn't know the severity of the injury, if he went to lure those people away now, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap. Realizing this, the determination in Xia Yan's eyes deepened, and he continued:
"I'm telling you, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Now, after I leave, take Qianhua and Ram with you and leave this place. Don't linger here. Besides, although I'm not familiar with those people, it shouldn't be difficult for me to leave."
After saying these words, Xia Yan gave his friend a few more instructions, but his friend stubbornly refused to stop him. However, he was injured and could not stop him at all. After seeing this, Xia Yan's smile deepened, and then he took a stone and threw it to the other side.
Sure enough, the group heard a series of chaotic footsteps. Upon seeing this, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He didn't linger there but ran off in another direction. Seeing this, the guilt in his eyes deepened.
In his opinion, if they hadn't known, he, Xia Yan, and Qian Hua Ram wouldn't be in such a desperate situation now. Realizing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
However, he was also very clear in his heart that if they hadn't let this opportunity slip away, then everything Xia Yan had just done would have been in vain.
So he didn't waste any more time and hurriedly walked into the cave. At the same time, those people naturally heard the commotion. In addition, they were very familiar with this valley, and almost instantly they determined which direction Xia Yan 690 had gone.
So they kept chasing Xia Yan. Seeing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more. He had just suggested that he lead these people away. He thought that the mountain forest was complicated and that he could shake them off quickly. But he did not expect that these people were so familiar with the valley.
Not only that, their physical strength is far superior to Xia Yan's, and they are relentlessly pursuing him. Xia Yan can still see their trails, but since he is not familiar with the terrain here, he is quickly finding it very difficult.
Chapter 491 Trap
Even with these thoughts in mind, Xia Yan still dared not relax. After all, he believed that if he relaxed now, these people would definitely become suspicious. Moreover, if he fell into their hands, they would definitely recognize him, and then his friends and Qianhua Ram would be in danger.
Just as Xia Yan was thinking this, he subconsciously quickened his pace, but the people chasing after him seemed to have noticed that Xia Yan's identity was not right.
In their view, Xia Yan's friend was already injured and shouldn't have that much stamina, but the person they were chasing didn't seem to have any injuries.
Realizing this, they found a place to hide because, in their view, even though they had no wounds while chasing that person, they had already run for so long and had exhausted a lot of energy.
So they hid on the other side. Some of the people inside noticed something was wrong. They glanced at their leader, frowned slightly, and then said:
"Captain, something seems off about the people we're chasing. They don't have any wounds, and we've fought them before, so we know their characteristics. But this time, we haven't found anything while we're chasing them. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of the others, who then added:
"Yeah, yeah, Captain, I feel like the person we're chasing isn't the one we were paying attention to before. If we've really chased the wrong person, we'll be punished when we get back."
"Yes, Captain, let's think about this carefully. I have a feeling this is a diversionary tactic, but we haven't encountered anyone else in this valley. Could it be that someone came into this valley while we weren't paying attention? We should check carefully."
Upon hearing these words, the captain's brows furrowed even more deeply. He now understood his subordinates' intentions. Moreover, he himself sensed something was amiss, but what if they were truly wrong? Realizing this, he sighed softly, his expression becoming even more serious.
However, some members of the team wanted to go back and scout out the situation before making a decision. Seeing this, the captain sighed softly and then said:
"Since many of us have already noticed that something is wrong, it's not appropriate for us to say anything here. Let's send some people to continue the pursuit, and the rest to go back and investigate the situation."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of everyone standing nearby. At the same time, Xia Yan (Wang Nuo's) running ahead also sensed something was amiss.
At first, Xia Yan could sense that many people were chasing him because he heard a lot of noise behind him, but then the noise became quieter and quieter.
Xia Yan could also sense that those people were getting further and further away from him. At first, Xia Yan was overjoyed, thinking that he had shaken off those people. However, he soon realized something was wrong.
Chapter 492 Hidden
Xia Yan also stopped in his tracks.
Not only that, he also knew that if these people really found something was wrong, they would definitely go back. At that time, his friends and Qianhua Ram would be in a very dangerous situation. After realizing this, his brows furrowed more and more. However, Xia Yan did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he set up some simple traps here.
Not only that, while they were discussing, Xia Yan also retreated to their original route and set up some traps. Whether these people chased after him directly or returned, they would all fall into these traps. These people never expected Xia Yan to be so fast.
So they fell directly into these traps. When Xia Yan saw this, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, but he was also fully aware that he had to take advantage of this opportunity to injure them, otherwise he and his friend would not be able to escape. Realizing this, Xia Yan started to fight these people.
However, Xia Yan concealed his true identity while fighting. Moreover, Xia Yan's attack was originally a surprise attack. After these people entered the trap, I thought someone was catching wild animals here. But what he didn't expect was that he immediately noticed stones falling from above.
Upon realizing this, a hint of panic flashed in the eyes of everyone present. They instinctively tried to dodge, but the space inside the trap was too small, so many people were injured. Xia Yan decided to stop while he was ahead.
He didn't linger there. Besides, seeing their overwhelming numbers below, he knew that if he continued to waver, even if these people were injured, he wouldn't be a match for them.
Realizing this, he sighed and the helplessness in (aeej)'s eyes deepened. After that, Xia Yan began to hide his whereabouts. Meanwhile, on the other side, after Xia Yan left, his friend did not waste any more time and called Chika and Ramu.
A look of confusion flashed in Qianhua and Ram's eyes, because in their view, they were already so tired during the day, and they were still not allowed to rest properly at night. But when they were truly awake, they found that Xia Yan had long since disappeared.
Realizing this, the two exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing deeply. Their friend, understanding their thoughts, sighed softly and then said:
“You don’t need to worry so much now. Besides, although Xia Yan is familiar with this place, he is usually quite smart and very cunning. He definitely won’t be caught by these people. The most important thing now is that we can’t hold back the people below. He’s taking such a big risk to hold back those people so that we can hide better. So now we must leave this place.”
Upon hearing these words, the brows of the people present furrowed slightly. The worry in Qianhua and Ram's eyes deepened. Given their usual temperament, they would definitely want to bring Xia Yan back now.
Chapter 493 Convergence
However, they were also very clear in their hearts that they were completely unfamiliar with this place.
Realizing this, they could only temporarily follow their friend's advice. So their friend led Chika and Ram to another place to hide their whereabouts.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xia Yan had concealed his whereabouts long ago, but many of his pursuers were now injured. The leader frowned deeply, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes, for he hadn't expected Xia Yan to be so skilled, setting a trap so early. Seeing this, the others in the group glanced at their leader and then said:
"Captain, what do you think we should do now? If we continue with this itinerary, we definitely won't gain anything. Besides, as you just saw, quite a few of our people are already injured. If we continue to pursue this matter, it will be very disadvantageous for us."
"Yes, yes, yes, this person is really too cunning. Not only that, I am now completely certain that we have chased the wrong person. Someone must have come back to this valley when we were not paying attention. Let's think of another way."
"Yes, Captain, let's think of another way. I think someone else has come to this valley. I don't know what their purpose is. Moreover, we don't know if this group of people who came to this valley are accomplices of the person we chased before."
Upon hearing this, the captain's brow furrowed even more deeply. He was acutely aware that the current situation was extremely disadvantageous for them. Realizing this, he sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and then said...
"Alright, if that's the case, then we don't need to linger here. Let's retreat quickly and come back to our base to devise another plan. Besides, as long as they're still in this valley, they won't escape our grasp sooner or later."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of agreement flashed in the eyes of everyone present. They did not waste any more time there, but retreated back to their base. Xia Yan had been secretly observing this situation.

After seeing that all these people had retreated, the worry in his eyes completely disappeared. Xia Yan knew very well that two fists can't beat four hands. Even if he had set a trap and injured many of his people while they were off guard, it would still be very disadvantageous for him if they discovered his whereabouts.
...... ......... 0
However, Xia Yan was also very clear in his heart that the most important thing now was to reunite with his good friend and Qian Hua Ram.
Realizing this, Xia Yan first returned to their original cave. Xia Yan's friend was also a very clever person. When they left, they had already left Xia Yan with special traces of their relationship.
So Xia Yan followed the clues left by his friend and met up with Qianhua and Ram. He had always been quite wary of his friend and the others.
Chapter 494 Peace of mind
After hearing a series of noises, their brows furrowed more and more, and they worried about what would happen if those people came back and discovered their whereabouts.
But then his friend heard a familiar voice. Realizing this, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. He then hurriedly came out from where they were hiding. Xia Yan, who was standing nearby, was also very happy to see that his friend, Qian Hua Ram and the others were not injured.
Meanwhile, Chika and Ram, who were already very worried about Xia Yan's safety, came to his side as soon as they saw him, looked him up and down, and then said to him:
"I'm telling you, you were too reckless this time. Why didn't you think it through properly? Besides, what if you got caught by them while you were luring them away? You would be in real danger then. Next time, can you please think twice before you act?"
"Yes, yes, I also hope that you can think it over carefully next time before taking action. You don't know how worried we are."
Hearing these words, Xia Yan's helplessness deepened, but he also knew that Chika and Ram were saying these things because they cared about him.
Realizing this, he sighed softly, and after cooperating with Qianhua Ram's examination, he said to the two of them:
"Alright, alright, I'm telling you, you two don't need to worry so much. Besides, look at me, I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I? I'm telling you, not only am I not injured, but I also got those people to retreat, so we're still perfectly safe."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of shock flashed in the eyes of everyone present, and a hint of admiration also flashed in the eyes of Xia Yan's friends. However, they were now completely certain that Xia Yan was alright.
Seeing this scene, they gradually calmed down. Xia Yan comforted Chika and Ram, and then took his friend away. Chika and Ram frowned slightly when they saw this scene, but a look of understanding flashed in their eyes.
He knew from the past that Xia Yan's friend was hiding something from them, but they felt it was better to ask him themselves. Realizing this, they didn't bother him. At the same time, Xia Yan's friend glanced at him, a strange glint in his eyes, but then heard Xia Yan ask him:
"I'm telling you, I fought those people this time too. Now I want to know the real situation here. Besides, as you can see, our lives are practically tied together. If you don't tell me, it will be very disadvantageous for us..."
Hearing this, the hesitation in his friend's eyes deepened. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, sighed softly after seeing this scene. He had thought that his friend had told him the truth, but after his time on the run, he realized that his friend was probably still hiding something from him.
Realizing this, Xia Yan's helplessness deepened, but he had already discerned his friend's thoughts, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Chapter 495 Information
But he couldn't force his friend right now, so he could only say to him:
"Since you have this attitude now, I won't force you. Think about it yourself. Besides, we're all in this valley now. If we don't get out soon, we won't be able to escape sooner or later. We'd better think of a way to get out of their clutches. You can make the rest of the decisions yourself."
Upon hearing these words, his friend's brows furrowed, and the helplessness in his eyes deepened.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan sighed. He really wanted to know what had happened.
However, Xia Yan believed that knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Moreover, they were currently in the shadows while those people were in the open, which allowed them to avoid them. But this valley was, after all, someone else's territory.
If they really conducted a thorough search, none of them would escape. Realizing this, Xia Yan's vigilance deepened. At the same time, his friend beside him seemed to see through his thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to him:
"Actually, I know I shouldn't have kept this from you in the first place, but in my opinion, the fewer people who know about it, the better. But seeing this situation now, I also know that if I don't tell you, I might not have another chance next time."
Xia Yan frowned slightly. He really disliked what his friend had just said, but after a moment of thought, his friend said to Xia Yan:
"I know you must be very confused about what we saw last time that made so many people hunt you down. Let me tell you, the scene we saw in the valley last time was because some people were studying the Book of Innocence, and we stumbled upon their forbidden technique."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's curiosity deepened. He had anticipated many possibilities, but never expected it to be related to this. He was deeply puzzled; what exactly was this forbidden technique? Realizing this, he glanced at his friend and continued:
"I don't understand what you're saying. You just said we encountered those forbidden techniques, but what exactly are those forbidden techniques? Besides, even if we did encounter forbidden techniques, we wouldn't really know what they are. Why are they still chasing us? It's really too much."
Forbidden Technique frowned slightly, but he still shook his head at Xia Yan beside him. This time he really wasn't lying, because he genuinely didn't know what Forbidden Technique was. He had investigated this matter before, but each time it came to nothing.
And because of those investigations, he attracted so much attention. Realizing this, he sighed softly, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. And so, Xia Yan and his friend discussed some other matters there.
But to their surprise, just as they were about to rest, they heard a series of noises coming from nearby. Realizing this, the two of them looked at each other.
