Chapter 1283: 1283
“Eh? What’s going on?!”
The Heaven’s Thunder shot through the skies with Bai Yunfei standing on top of it . Right now, he was staring in confusion at the needle in his hand .
A black light escaped from it moments before it started to tremble . Like a headless ant, the needle rolled and twitched in several directions before letting out a mournful vibration .
“What’s wrong, Yunfei?”
Perched on top of Bai Yunfei’s shoulder, Xiao Qi stared curiously at the needle .
“Mo Ni’s soul imprint…I can’t sense it anymore!” Bai Yunfei exclaimed .
“Did he find out I was tracking him? Would he cut off his connection with his demon armament?” Bai Yunfei thought to himself . “Or…did he die?!”
It was a baffling thought, but also not one outside the realms of possibility . “No way…Mo Ni wasn’t that badly hurt when he escaped . As much as the Black Dragon King’s death might hurt, he shouldn’t be in critical condition .
“I bet he’s trying his best to heal right now and cut off his connection so we wouldn’t be able to track him…”
He stared in the direction the needle had last pointed him toward . Never would Bai Yunfei be able to guess that it was Gui Nu that had killed Mo Ni .
“What do we do, keep chasing?”
He hesitated . Turning from the direction of the Fate School then in the direction where Mo Ni fled to, Bai Yunfei sighed . “We’ve chased him this far, let’s keep going . If we can’t find anything in the next few minutes, we’ll call it quits…”
Many of his allies were already returning to the Fate School, meaning Bai Yunfei didn’t have to worry about the Fate School for now . Without any enemy there, the cracks in the Hidden Horizon regenerated and meant the Fate School was safe from any further harm . Li Chengfeng’s wife and kids, by extension, were safe, and didn’t need Bai Yunfei to worry about them either .
Thus, Bai Yunfei was free to chase after Mo Ni and return later to the Fate School .
He couldn’t use the needle to track Mo Ni anymore, but he would still at the very least be able to travel in the direction last pointed to him .
……
Bai Yunfei didn’t feel too confident in his chances on finding Mo Ni . He didn’t really have an idea how far Mo Ni was away from him due to the needle no longer working, and there was no way he’d be able to find out now .
But when he searched nearly half a kilometer of the area around him, Bai Yunfei took notice of a nearby mountain peak .
“Hmm…”
It wasn’t Mo Ni’s aura he could sense, but rather a far more powerful and sinister-feeling aura . He didn’t even have to be this close to sense it! The owner of this aura wasn’t even bothering to hide himself!
This was confusing to Bai Yunfei . He thought Mo Ni was trying to hide himself when the connection between him and the needle was lost . But now there was someone that was blatantly broadcasting their auras as if to say: “I’m right here!”
“Is it a trap?!”
His first assumption was that this was a trap of Mo Ni, but it didn’t seem likely . Why would Mo Ni try to make a trap like this in his current situation?!
“This aura…that’s Zhang Zhenshan!”
Bai Yunfei raised an eyebrow the moment he realized who that aura belonged to . He distinctly remembered Gui Nu running away with Mo Ni, what was he doing here then? Was Mo Ni there with him too then?
Or…did Mo Ni order Gui Nu to deliberately reveal himself and act as a roadblock so he could escape?
“Wait! His aura…he’s a Late-stage Soul Emperor! But how?”
Then he realized the intensity of Zhang Zhenshan’s aura . A while ago, the man had only been a Mid-stage Soul Emperor, but now he was a stage stronger!
“What’s…going on here?!”
Confused, Bai Yunfei decided that the only thing that could be done was go up that mountain and check .
He wasn’t afraid if this was a ‘trap’ . There wasn’t much that could threaten him right not, barring that of a Saint .
“Whoosh!”
Both Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi touched down on the mountain shortly afterward . Their soulforce scanned the area the moment their feet tapped onto the ground without even bothering to hide their presence .
A second later and Bai Yunfei’s soulsense alerted him to something completely beyond his expectations .
Finding a cave was within expectations . Finding someone inside of it was also within his expectation . Finding Gui Nu ‘meditating’ right beside a corpse was…not within those expectations .
“Mo…Mo Ni?!”
The corpse wasn’t in one piece anymore, but the clothes and accessories it adorned were familiar enough for Bai Yunfei to make a guess on who it was—Mo Ni!
