Yan Luo didn't speak; she knew that anything she said now would be useless. She hadn't expected the opponent to leave these means for others to break the Sealing, rather than their own people taking action. Of course, if it were their own people taking action, how could Yan Luo and her team possibly be unaware?
"Let's go find A Xing." Yan Luo's face remained cold; she could only seek out the one who kept the key back then. For now, finding that person was impossible, and if the opponent was deliberately avoiding capture, searching would only become more difficult. Instead of wasting time on this matter, it was more pragmatic to find A Xing. Although A Xing's strength wasn't much to speak of, his ability to find people was quite remarkable.
Tang Mu knew what Yan Luo had in mind and quickly nodded in agreement. With just a simple conversation, they had already decided on their next course of action, ignoring Mr. Rui as they ascended independently. At the same time, Tang Mu shot out several Wind Forces in various directions, which were used specifically for communication. As long as A Xing detected these Wind Forces, he would follow their trajectory to find them. Tang Mu didn't worry that A Xing wouldn't be able to find them; A Xing's skill in locating people was simply too brilliant.
After doing all this, Tang Mu looked at Yan Luo and asked, "Do you want to go to my Virtual Realm or take a walk outside?" He didn't dare make decisions for Yan Luo; who knew how this seemingly gentle woman might react?
"I'll take a walk outside first." Yan Luo glanced at Yi Tian, "You should be familiar with the outside world, right? Well, follow me for now. I'll let you go once I find the person I'm looking for." Yan Luo domineeringly made the decision for Yi Tian, without giving him a chance to object.
Yi Tian glanced helplessly at Yan Luo, wanting to say that he was also new here. But Yan Luo didn't listen, flying ahead on her own.
On the mountain top, Mr. Rui watched as Yi Tian and his group came and went, unable to even ask for their help before Yi Tian's group had disappeared. Looking at the people sprawled across the mountain, Mr. Rui sighed, worried most about how he would explain the matter of Jue to Yu. Others might not know the relationship between Jue and Yu, but he certainly did. He regretted not stopping Sorres' actions earlier. Alas, it was too late to say anything now.
Weakly sitting on the ground, Mr. Rui looked up at the gloomy sky overhead. The events of tonight had changed too quickly, beyond his imagination.
Feeling Yan Luo's Qi, Jue, who chose to escape, slowly descended, collected his Qi while landing on the ground, and quickly merged into the darkness. His strength hadn't fully recovered yet, and if he rashly confronted Yan Luo and her team, the odds weren't great. Moreover, he was alone now; he understood the principle of two fists being no match for many hands. Although confident in his own strength, he would avoid fighting many with few if possible.
Hiding in the darkness, waiting until he was sure they wouldn't pursue, Jue emerged from the shadows. By now, the sky was beginning to lighten. Squinting at the brightening horizon, Jue touched his belly, thinking he should find something to eat to fill his empty stomach. Having merged with Jue's body, he naturally gained Jue's memories, so he was quite familiar with this world. After a brief examination of his surroundings, Jue knew the direction to the nearest city.
Instead of flying, he began a frenzied run across the wilderness. He needed to acclimate to this body; only by quickly adapting could he restore his power to its original state.
Having run not far, Jue suddenly felt his body sway, his head feeling as if struck by a great hammer, experiencing a momentary blackout that caused him to lose control of his body. As a result, his fast-running body lost balance and fell to the ground, rolling a considerable distance before stopping.
After the blackout, intense pain surged from deep within his skull. The pain came suddenly and ferociously; Jue let out a cry of pain, clutching his head while rolling on the ground, his Qi becoming unstable, fluctuating between strength and weakness, his face twisted in agony, his features seemingly contorting together.
"Ah~~~" Jue cried out in pain, startling the beasts lurking around to scatter. The Qi emanating from Jue was so bizarre that the sensitive animals dared not approach.
"Be quiet!" came another angry roar.
Jue seemed to scream furiously at someone, but the headache persisted despite his anger, his face turning pale as sweat covered his forehead.
"Since you're merged with me, listen to me obediently." He roared again.
Jue's appearance was quite mad, his waist-length hair flying chaotically, his white clothes filthy from rolling on the ground. Gritting his teeth, he endured the pain, channeling power to suppress the discomfort within. He knew this situation might arise but didn't expect it to happen so abruptly and quickly. Clearly, the entity he had merged with had a strong will.
As the discomfort subsided, Jue felt the headache gradually easing, the sense of soul fragmentation within dissipating like a receding tide. Breathing lightly, luckily it wasn't in the valley, or he might have been suppressed again. He didn't believe he'd have such good luck escaping the Sealing twice.
As his chaotic Qi stabilized, a white light flickered in his eyes, then Jue slowly stood, straightened his hair, tidied his dirty clothes, and looked towards an unremarkable bush nearby.
"Will you come out voluntarily, or shall I do it?" Cold words spat from Jue's mouth, emitting a dangerous aura—an obvious gesture of alert and warning.
Silence, dead silence. After nearly half a minute, the bush rustled slightly, and then a person slowly emerged. How this person managed to hide in a bush only half a person's height was unknown.
"I didn't expect you'd notice me." The person emerging was Yiyin, who had engaged in a jungle chase with Jue last night. Eyeing Jue who discerned his disguise, curiosity showed in his eyes. He had heard the painful cry from a distance and was driven by curiosity to see what was happening, not expecting to meet his adversary.
"It's you." Upon recognizing Yiyin, Jue was somewhat surprised; he thought this guy had run far away, not expecting him to still be here. Jue hadn't realized how far he had flown during his mad flight earlier.
"You chased me all the way here. How did you find me?" Yiyin didn't know Jue had fled here; he thought the opponent had tracked him down. However, Yiyin was sure he left little trace; if the opponent tracked him despite that, his tracking skills were highly advanced.
"From now on, you'll be under my command." Jue arrogantly stated, having the qualification to speak thus. But Yiyin thought otherwise.
Upon hearing Jue's arrogant words, an odd smile formed on Yiyin's face; this guy, who was chased crazily by Yiyin the previous night, now wanted Yiyin to follow him. Finding this notion laughable, Yiyin laughed unreservedly. "You'd fit better as my subordinate. Don't even think about making me yours." Yiyin laughed while answering. As for his defeated opponent, he had no reason to uphold any gentlemanly behavior, not that there was any such thing among their kind.
"You refuse?" Jue understood Yiyin's meaning, surprised by the response. But he had his ways of making him agree.
