Chapter 530: Chapter 230: Who on Earth is the Golden Light Wanderer?
"Yin Spirit Formless, Search the Mountains and Seas."
With a dark expression, Dai Fei’ang took out a precious Tier Four Golden Talisman and activated it on the spot.
Sacrificial Bone True Monarch’s eyelids twitched. The Yin Corpse Sect’s special Golden Talismans were difficult to make. Not only were they expensive, but the materials were also exceptionally hard to gather.
But if they really let him get away, they would lose all face.
Two Nascent Soul True Monarchs had joined forces, only to let an enemy escape right on their doorstep. If word of this got out, the Yin Corpse Sect’s prestige would be dragged through the mud.
The next moment, however, all four Yin Spirits stopped at the spot where Xiao Chen had been standing.
They all stood frozen in place, motionless.
"What’s going on?"
Dai Fei’ang hurriedly formed a Hand Technique and issued a new command, "Yin Spirits, heed my order! Pursue him for a thousand miles!"
However, the four Yin Spirits merely swapped positions with one another, but otherwise remained where they were.
All traces had suddenly vanished on the spot. They couldn’t find the enemy at all.
At this point, even a fool could see that Xiao Chen had truly escaped.
Recalling the words Xiao Chen had spoken before leaving, Dai Fei’ang felt blood rush to his head, his temples throbbing violently.
"Gol-den... Light... you whelp!"
His cheeks puffed out, and his teeth ground together with a grinding sound. "Send word to all halls! Seal the four directions."
"From this moment on, not even a single bird is to be allowed out of a one-hundred-thousand-mile radius!"
Immediately, an attendant Child used a Sound Transmission Spirit Sword to relay the True Monarch’s decree to the many Elders and disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect.
Watching the Spirit Swords fly off in all directions, Dai Fei’ang’s tone was level. "Hmph. Forcing himself to use a Secret Technique to escape is merely the last gasp of a dying man."
He stood with his hands behind his back, schooling his features and suppressing his emotions, deliberately affecting an expression that said everything was under control.
However, hidden within his sleeves, his fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged on the backs of his hands.
Sacrificial Bone True Monarch’s expression was grim. "I’m returning to the sect to retrieve the Tracking Compass."
’He was also well aware that to someone at the Half-Step Nascent Soul realm, an ordinary Golden Core posed no threat whatsoever.’
’Having let Xiao Chen escape from the relic’s exit today, if he just finds a deserted island to hide on, they might never find him.’
’At this point, the only way to possibly recapture him was for Nascent Soul True Monarchs like themselves to act personally.’
"Go, Junior Brother!"
Dai Fei’ang nodded calmly while secretly sending a voice transmission, "I must ask you, Junior Brother, to inform our Third Senior Brother. Ask him to help us hunt this person down. I will reward you generously afterward."
Sacrificial Bone True Monarch was startled by this.
’For one, his Fifth Senior Brother wasn’t very close with their Third Senior Brother on a normal day.’
’For another, their Third Senior Brother was currently in secluded cultivation within a Spirit Vein, comprehending new Magic.’
’Calling him out at a time like this, especially for a personal matter, would require a hefty price, even among fellow sect members.’
He asked quietly, "Our Second Senior Brother is in the Wind-stopping Sea. Shouldn’t we wait a couple of days?"
It wasn’t that Dai Fei’ang didn’t understand, but the longer they delayed, the slimmer their chances of catching their target became.
He replied decisively, "We’re not waiting. The sooner, the better."
Even if it cost him, he would drag out the murderer who killed his precious grandson!
’He actually got away?’
Standing to the side, True Monarch Zhiqin’s eyes were wide with a mix of emotions. She hadn’t anticipated this outcome at all.
’No matter how she looked at it, that burst of fire just now didn’t seem like an Escape Technique.’
’Besides, judging from the Spiritual Power fluctuations, wasn’t that purely an Attack Magic?’
’She had to admit, it was impressive for a Golden Core Cultivator to unleash such powerful Magic. But how on earth did Xiao Chen pass through the Void Cloud Light Barrier?’
’Most importantly, the entire process had been silent, and he had left no trail to follow.’
To be honest, True Monarch Zhiqin couldn’t have done it herself.
If even she couldn’t figure it out, the other Cultivators were naturally even more bewildered, as if looking at flowers in a fog.
All they had seen was the explosive flash of fire, the giant black palm, and the powerful Yin Spirits.
Then, they heard Dai Fei’ang’s explanation.
Although they didn’t dare to cry out in shock, their minds were in turmoil.
No one cared whether Xiao Chen had used some Secret Technique or what price he had to pay for it.
They only cared about one fact: three Nascent Soul True Monarchs had been present, and yet none of them had managed to stop him.
He had even given them a heads-up before he left, yet he still departed just as he said he would.
Even the few Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators who had previously witnessed Xiao Chen shatter a Nascent Soul’s Magic were once again stunned.
A question even arose in the minds of many, almost in unison.
’Just who in the world was this Golden Light Wanderer?’
’Could it be that this was also part of your plan?’
The Five Thunders Temple Walking Elder watched this unfold and immediately recalled the situation back in the relic.
’He had previously overheard the Loose Cultivators discussing revenge and had dismissed it as nonsense at the time.’
’But looking back now, it was clear that Xiao Chen had come prepared.’
’He must have had an escape plan from the very beginning, which was why he acted so brazenly.’
’If I recall correctly, he had twice moved to kill Dai Tianrui without a moment’s hesitation.’
’He acted decisively and ruthlessly, with no wasted motion. It was obvious he was here for vengeance.’
’No wonder the Yin Corpse Sect’s Rotting Poison Vine and Body-Freezing Spell had no effect on him.’
The Walking Elder instantly thought of another piece of "evidence": when facing the Yin Corpse Sect’s siege, Xiao Chen’s movements had been agile and Spiritual, as if he were moving through an empty battlefield.
’He had been amazed by it at the time, but now it seemed everything had been premeditated.’
’He must have investigated the Yin Corpse Sect’s common tactics in advance and deliberately brought a protective Treasure that could negate poisons and the Body-Freezing Spell.’
’Courageous and cunning. A truly formidable member of the younger generation!’
