Chapter 985: Spirit Pursuit and Hidden Intentions
A small spirit hiding in the side hall had watched the entire ordeal, and without hesitation, it hurried after him.
Its admiration for this human cultivator was boundless, like a mighty river flowing unceasingly. Nothing could deter it from following this man.
Puffing out its chest with pride, the little spirit even shot a glance at the two stunned female human cultivators, as if to say, "Bet you’re shocked."
"There’s still another spirit around?" Jiae Yao quickly noticed the small spirit, and just as she prepared to draw her sword, she paused. "Wait, it’s so weak."
It was even weaker than the lowest-level red spirits. Using her weapon on such a pitiful spirit would almost feel like an insult to herself.
"It seems to be following him," Dayeon Xinyue murmured, sounding intrigued.
"How odd. Why would he keep such a weak spirit around?" Jiae Yao wondered aloud. "Forget it; what should we do now? Should we follow him?"
Dayeon Xinyue didn’t need to respond; Jiae Yao was already eager.
"It looks like he’s going after another Deity Transformation stage spirit," Dayeon Xinyue replied seriously.
"Perfect! We didn’t get to see the whole thing earlier, so maybe this time we can witness everything," Jiae Yao said, excitement flashing in her eyes. "I’m dying to know why there’s such a massive difference between people."
Powerful individuals had always commanded respect, and Jiae Yao was no exception.
Meanwhile, the Deity Transformation stage spirit that Kenny Lin had been tracking had caught up with Temujin Lei and Seonho Ming.
Neither of them was a match for a Deity Transformation spirit, and within a few moves, both were severely wounded, with Seonho Ming on the verge of having his body shattered.
Desperate to survive, Seonho Ming was forced to retrieve his token.
"Spare me, and I’ll give you these tokens," Seonho Ming said harshly. "Otherwise, I’d rather destroy them than let you have them!"
The Deity Transformation stage spirit paused, narrowing its crimson eyes as if weighing the pros and cons.
"Do you really think tokens crafted from the materials of the Path of All Immortals could be destroyed by mere Soul Formation stage cultivators like you?"
Seonho Ming felt a jolt of fear but forced himself to remain calm. "You can try me," he said. "Sometimes making something disappear doesn’t require destroying it. If I die here, my companion will escape with the token. Once they leave the Heavenly Flames Hall’s range, you won’t be able to get it."
The Deity Transformation stage spirit narrowed its crimson eyes and fixed a sinister gaze upon them. Just then, a powerful energy explosion came from a certain direction.
The Deity Transformation stage spirit immediately looked over. "What happened?"
In that split second, Seonho Ming threw a crystal token in the opposite direction of their escape route, and he and Temujin Lei fled.
The crystal token drew the spirit’s attention as it detonated, creating chaos. By the time the Deity Transformation stage spirit retrieved the crystal token, the two men had already escaped far away.
The Deity Transformation stage spirit didn’t chase them further; instead, it stared cautiously toward the direction of the explosion.
"That presence from the King of Jade Radiance Hall... it disappeared? Is it really gone?"
"Who could kill it? Among the human cultivators in the immortal palace, the highest level of strength should be at most at the peak of the Soul Formation stage!"
"Or could it be that one of the human cultivators advanced, or perhaps The Kings from other Hall killed it?"
The Deity Transformation stage spirit’s face darkened. No matter the answer, none of these outcomes boded well.
"Damn it!"
This was its territory; it couldn’t allow anyone to run rampant here. Otherwise, it would lose face if word got out.
After a moment of hesitation, the Deity Transformation stage spirit decided to check the situation. It remembered that there had been several auras in that direction earlier. Perhaps things weren’t as it feared.
As it moved that way, however, it was unaware that the ’visitor’ was also approaching.
Thanks to the Breath Concealing Pearl he carried, Kenny Lin emitted no detectable aura, so the Deity Transformation spirit had no idea their distance was steadily shrinking.
Suddenly, Kenny Lin stopped and turning his head to the small spirit that was following him. "Find somewhere to hide and stay out of sight."
The little spirit was weak, and if it were spotted by the other, it could reveal Kenny Lin’s presence, making it more difficult for him to strike.
While he appeared calm on the surface, handling a Deity Transformation stage spirit was truly strenuous for Kenny Lin.
Without being able to take the initiative, things could become troublesome later.
As for Dayeon Xinyue and Jiae Yao, who were following him from afar, he didn’t concern himself with them. As long as they didn’t alert the spirit, it was their choice if they wanted to risk danger.
"Strange, I can’t sense his presence anymore," Dayeon Xinyue’s face changed slightly.
Just moments ago, she could still detect his location, but suddenly she’d lost his position. She could still sense the Deity Transformation spirit’s direction, however.
"He must have some special way of concealing his aura. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to leak even the slightest hint of presence," Jiae Yao murmured with a furrowed brow.
Even with a specially formulated concealment pill, it’s nearly impossible to completely suppress one’s aura. Against a powerful opponent, the chance of being detected would still be high.
"This could be the key to how he killed the Deity Transformation stage spirit from Jade Radiance Hall," Dayeon Xinyue astutely connected the dots.
"Then it’s likely he’ll use the same tactic to handle this Deity Transformation spirit," Jiae Yao realized. "Should we still go?"
"We’re going," Dayeon Xinyue replied without hesitation, then added, "Consider it a repayment for him alerting us earlier."
Jiae Yao watched her for a few seconds and then laughed, "Is that your heart finally stirring?"
