Elder Ma, it’s not that I don’t trust you.”
“It’s just that if, say, you are unable to find that person, or if you find that person, but the Seal Sealing Cold Ice is no longer in his hands, what should you do?” Chu Feng asked.
His worry was not superfluous, that person was able to steal the Seal Sealing Cold Ice from the Seal Sealing Ancient Village, unnoticed, indicating that his strength was not trivial, and even Elder Ma might not be his opponent.
In short, this seal cold ice since lost, want to find back, absolutely not a simple thing.
“The deadline is one year, after one year, if I am unable to return the innocence of little friend Chu Feng, and unable to present the Seal Sealing Cold Ice, then I, Ma, will die as a thank you for my sins, and before I die, I will make the truth known.” Old Village Chief Ma said with conviction.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng could not help but tremble inwardly, because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Old Village Chief Ma did not look like he was joking, Old Village Chief Ma was indeed serious.
“Elder Ma, are you able to determine that the trace of aura that you collected is that of the person who stole the Sealed Cold Ice?” Chu Feng asked.
“This formation is flawless, and I was able to conduct an exclusion through this formation before I collected the scent, so I am able to determine that that scent, it must be that person’s.” Old Village Chief Ma said with certainty.
“Then, how many scents need to be collected before we are able to open, that tracking formation?” Chu Feng asked.
“I won’t hide it from you, little friend, the breath that I have collected right now is only five percent, and there is still a need for at least ninety-five percent of the breath in order to be able to open the array formation.” Old Village Chief Ma said with some helplessness.
“Surprisingly, it’s still that much short?” Hearing those words, Chu Feng’s frowning brows then wrinkled even tighter.
Calculating like that, even if Old Village Chief Ma could find that person who had stolen the Sealed Cold Ice, I’m afraid that it would still take quite a bit of time, and even the one-year period that he had set for himself might not be enough.
“Elder Ma, is it possible to lend me the breath that you have collected to sense it, although it is a faint hope, perhaps I will be able to help a little.” After thinking for a moment, Chu Feng said.
“There is naturally no harm in that.” Old Village Chief Ma was very quick, and between words, he took out a jade bottle from his bosom, and after the bottle was opened, a faint wisp of breath drifted out, like a small snake, slowly rotating around the jade bottle.
And at that moment, Chu Feng also closed his eyes and released his spiritual power, sensing that breath with his heart.
He was trying to remember this aura, and then wait until he walked out in the future, to see if he could have the opportunity to encounter this aura, and if he did, he could notify Elder Village Chief Ma.
Just as Chu Feng had said, this kind of hope could be described as slim, but other than that, there was no other way, so Chu Feng could only give it a try.
“This breath ……,” But right at that moment, Chu Feng’s tightly closed eyes snapped open, and at the same time, a look of surprise and joy surged on his face as he said, “Could it be him?”
“Little friend Chu Feng, could it be that you know the owner of this wisp of breath?” Seeing Chu Feng’s reaction, Elder Village Chief Ma also froze until he was stunned, and then, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he then hurriedly asked after him.
“This wisp of aura, I do have some familiarity with it, and he somewhat resembles a person I know, but this wisp of aura is too weak, so I cannot be certain if it is him.” Chu Feng nodded, but did not give a clear answer.
“That’s so.” Old Village Chief Ma was not stupid, he had already heard out that Chu Feng had mostly thought of someone who might be the culprit for stealing the Sealed Cold Ice, only that Chu Feng did not want to tell him.
Although, Old Village Chief Ma very desperately wanted to know who exactly was the object of doubt in Chu Feng’s mind, he did not continue to pursue the matter.
And in truth, Chu Feng indeed already had an object of suspicion in his heart.
And that person was the culprit who had killed Sima Ying’s grandfather in the Cyanwood Domain back then, Sima Ying’s greatest enemy, the traitor of the Realm Master Alliance, Han Helai.
Although, on that day, Chu Feng could only witness the great battle between Han He Lai and Sima Flame and the others as an onlooker.
However, Han Helai’s aura was something that Chu Feng deeply remembered in his heart and would never forget.
And at this moment, the aura that Elder Village Chief Ma had allowed Chu Feng to sense could be said to be very similar to Han Helai’s aura.
Only, the breath that Old Ma Village Chief had collected was just a little too meager, and even Chu Feng did not dare to be 100% certain that this breath, was Han He Lai’s.
Therefore, after carefully deliberating, Chu Feng did not tell Old Village Chief Ma.
After all, Han He Lai’s identity was somewhat special, and that person was quite dangerous, so if he told Elder Village Chief Ma without being able to determine it, it might cause some sort of trouble.
“Little friend Chu Feng, that person you suspect at this moment, is he a friend of yours?” Suddenly, Old Village Chief Ma asked once more, his expression troubled.
It could not be blamed on him, after all, this matter was really he important to him, that which was lost was, after all, the supreme treasure of his Sealing Ancient Village.
“Not a friend, on the contrary, he is an enemy, but this kind of matter, after all, is not trivial, so until I am 100% certain, I cannot inform Senior Ma of who exactly the person I suspect is.” Chu Feng said truthfully.
“As long as it is not a friend of Junior Friend Chu Feng, then the old man is at ease.”
Elder Village Chief Ma stepped a little more solidly, and he was very clear that he was currently on the same front as Chu Feng.
If that person was truly Chu Feng’s enemy, even if Chu Feng did not tell him who that person was now, then sooner or later, Chu Feng would tell him who that person was.
But on the contrary, if that person was Chu Feng’s friend, he might be in big trouble.
Therefore, when it was determined that that person was Chu Feng’s enemy and not a friend, that was why he was so relieved.
“Senior Ma, if I am able to obtain, the scent of the person I suspect, then could you have a way to determine whether or not he is the person who stole the Sealed Cold Ice?” Chu Feng asked.
“Of course I can, this tracking formation of my Seal Seal Ancient Village is designed to prevent, someone from stealing the Seal Seal Cold Ice, as long as Junior Friend Chu Feng is able to obtain enough scent, I will be able to determine through the formation left behind by my ancestor, whether or not that person is the culprit for stealing the Seal Seal Cold Ice.” Old Village Chief Ma said with great confidence.
“Little friend Chu Feng, could it be that you are able to get, the scent of the person you suspect?” Old Village Chief Ma asked tentatively, as this was simply too important to him.
“I don’t dare to be certain, but I can go and try.” Chu Feng said.
“Then what percentage of certainty do you have?” Old Village Chief Ma asked.
“Fifty percent.” Chu Feng said.
“If that’s the case, that would be wonderful.” Hearing those words, Old Village Chief Ma was instantly overjoyed, and although his smile was not very obvious, this was the first time Chu Feng had seen that Old Village Chief Ma was smiling so happily.
However, this could not be blamed on Old Village Chief Ma, it was really because he could not even think of being unhappy.
Originally, there was only one way for him to search for the person who stole, and that was to close his mind and cultivate hard, fully activate the formation, and collect that person’s aura bit by bit, and then use the tracking formation to search for that person’s location.
This method, was very consuming of the power of the boundary, and would take a long time, even he himself knew clearly that this was not the best way, but was the only way he could do before.
But now, Chu Feng had given him new hope, how could he not be happy? How could he not be overjoyed? It was truly hard for him to not be happy.
