Hunt
Han Qi, a cultivator in his forties from Lunar Water Sect, scanned the surroundings of the busy forest and bemoaned, “If only we could kill the Black Level water elemental demon, we could’ve obtained five soul points.
“Brother Qi, there’s a pool here,” pointed out Su Yu, Primordial Infant Realm wife to Han Qi and also a disciple of the same sect with a Body Synthesis Realm patriarch. “If the tracks of the water elemental demon we injured vanished nearby, they must have used some body of water to hide their tracks.”
“Judging from the movements on the water surface, I’m sure it jumped into this pool of water!” effused Han Qi, also in the team under the leadership of a Spirit Severing Realm disciple of Ghost Gate with his wife.
“Shall we force it out of the water?”
“Yeah, let’s evaporate the pool with our spiritual energy.”
Watching Han Qi condense his Primordial Infant Realm spiritual energy on his hand, Su Yu complimented, “You’re amazing. I think you’ll ascend to Body Severing Realm very soon. If only I could keep up.”
“You’ll have to pick up the slack, then,” Han Qi playfully teased. “I exchanged five hundred soul points for Soul Refinement Technique from Sir Gui Si, and it’s proved immensely helpful for my cultivation. I’ve already taught it to you.”
“He is a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, so his version is far superior to what we can achieve. If only we weren’t stuck on the third level. I’ll have to ask him for pointers once I collect enough soul points.”
“Let’s start with slaying this water demon.”
Han Qi delivered his condensed spiritual energy into the water with enough force to finish the injured target. Unfortunately, a golden formation on the water activated, dissipating the blast. Following the surge of energy that came to the surface of the eight trigrams diagram that appeared was a human made his entrance from the diagram.
“An ally of the water demon?!” exclaimed Han Qi.
Say what? Mu Yu found himself dumbfounded.
“Die demon!” Su Yu blustered.
Mu Yu quickly processed the misunderstanding and then flaunted his Ascension Realm cultivation, dropping the couple onto their bottoms, whilst behaving as a venerated elder. “Listen: this old one is Celestial Star Sect’s elder, Tian Xingzhou. Ghost Gate’s patriarch, Gui Mohan is hunting this old one. If you two don’t want to die, leave immediately,” Mu Yu warned, activating the teleportation formation on the water surface to escape again.
Seconds later, the couple witnessed another three Ascension Realm cultivators arrive. Not seeing Mu Yu anywhere, Gui Mohan, from the edge of the pool, turned around to the couple. “Where did he go?”
Han Qi, thinking he was in luck and hoping to learn from Gui Mohan, hurried onto his knees. “Patriarch Gui, a man claiming to be Celestial Star Sect’s Tian Xingzhou went that way. This one is Han Qi, a disciple of Lunar Water S-”
“I don’t care who you are,” Gui Mohan snapped, shutting down Han Qi with his spine-chilling tone. Upon seeing another teleportation formation in the forest light up, Gui Mohan sped toward it.
Gui Huanyin glanced Su Yu’s way for she sensed a strong soul residing in the latter. Coincidentally, Gui Huanyin had been forced to kill her twin and needed a strength boost. And so, Gui Huanyin shrouded Su Yu in red mist.
Su Yu let out a harrowing shrill and then boom! Gui Huanyin absorbed the mist produced from Su Yu’s blown up corpse, soul included.
“Hurry up, Gui Huanyin!” admonished Gui Mingze.
Gui Huanyin raced to the next teleportation formation, leaving Han Qi, who was scared ashen, to his own devices.
“Yu! Yu!”
