Chapter 2714: Trace of the Abyssal Emperor_1
The Federation Members were momentarily stunned but chose to trust, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief…
As for why they believed, it was because Lan Muzi did not exude the repulsive aura of a Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master!
The leader of the men said with a measure of respect, "Senior, please speak…"
Only then did Lan Muzi begin to inquire, "What's the current situation? Have all the Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult been eradicated?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately provided an answer…
"Yes, Senior, our federation and the people from various powers have annihilated all the surviving Evil Soul Masters on the battlefield. We should consider this war a victory!"
Lan Muzi's eyes narrowed, "Why 'should'?"
Victory is victory, why give such an equivocal response!
The man explained again, "Because the powerhouses who participated in this battle… well, specifically, the Hall Masters from the Tang Sect, the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and even the arriving Spirit Pagoda's master and others, have all disappeared without a trace!"
Lan Muzi's tone heated up slightly as he pressed for answers, "Are there any clues?"
The man's face turned a shade uglier, "I'm sorry, but there were no traces left on the battlefield related to them, so we are also unclear about what happened."
He did not conceal this point, as it concerned the safety of the Soul Land!
Lan Muzi sighed, "Hmm, I see, thank you all.
"Then, Senior, we will take our leave now, as we need to continue patrolling the battlefield."
The Federation Members nodded and quickly departed…
Watching their retreating figures, Lan Muzi knew that asking other Federation Members about the situation would not be realistic, and he would likely receive the same answer!!
But just then, a flash of inspiration struck him…
His mind raced with thoughts…
"Those who disappeared are all at the Super Douluo Level, and possessing such strength, they could easily hover in mid-air!"
"Could it be…"
At that thought, he abruptly raised his gaze to the sky…
He might have been focusing on the wrong place all along; if Wulin and the others were not below the battlefield, the sky above was not out of the question!!
With that in mind, he immediately surged upward into the sky…
After closing his eyes, he concentrated on spreading his spiritual power around at an extremely fast pace…
Not long after, he reopened his eyes, revealing a trace of joy…
"Indeed, there are a dozen or so familiar auras ahead; it must be Wulin and the others without a doubt!"
"However... among them, the strength of one is exuding an evil aura that is excessively powerful. Even sensing it from a distance makes my heart beat violently. It might have broken the chains of an Ultimate Douluo!"
After taking a deep breath, he nonetheless made a certain decision…
...
At that moment, Xu Sheng, who was hastening along at top speed, glanced sideways at the Serpent Spear Douluo behind him and asked, "Serpent Spear Douluo, how much longer until we reach our destination?"
Although he knew the general direction, he had never been there!
The latter replied with evident annoyance, "Soon, it's not much further!"
Truth be told, he was somewhat regretting coming with Xu Sheng; the latter completely ignored others' opinions along the way and treated him like nothing more than a subordinate!
Xu Sheng seemed to see right through his thoughts and said with utmost sincerity, "Serpent Spear Douluo, I know you harbor complaints, but this matter is of great importance, and I hope you can understand!"
"After all, you wouldn't want the Human Plane to be dominated by unknown creatures, would you?"
The Serpent Spear Douluo swallowed and lifted his chin with a "huff," "Since you're so earnestly asking for my help, I won't hold it against you this time!"
During their conversation, the two had already arrived at their destination…
After stopping their pace, Serpent Spear Douluo looked at the vast ruins formed by the collapse of the mountain range and explained, "This is the place! The location where the Sky Dou Empire soldiers were stationed!"
Xu Sheng nodded in understanding, "Hmm, I can feel it, there are already quite a few wandering souls beneath these ruins!"
Since these soldiers of the Sky Dou Empire had not been dead for long, faint fluctuations could still be sensed!
Serpent Spear Douluo turned his gaze toward the other, "Xu Sheng, can you make anything out? I've been here once before, but I didn't notice anything unusual!"
"It seems like just a simple collapse of the mountain range, of course, I also know that this explanation is perfunctory!"
He was well aware that these mountains would not collapse without reason, but even he as a Hyper Douluo had not found anything; he feared that Xu Sheng's personal visit might prove fruitless as well!
Xu Sheng didn't say much, casually responding, "So far I haven't discovered anything, but that might change as we move forward!"
Having said that, his figure flickered continuously as he started sensing the area ahead…
Seeing this, Serpent Spear Douluo thought to himself, "This kid…"
Of course, he quickly followed suit…
And so, they continued their search around the ruins…
Finally, Xu Sheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixated on a half piece of rubble in front of him, carefully sensing the aura attached to its surface…
He couldn't help but say, "Hmm... there's no mistake, this is the aura of the Abyssal Emperor. Judging by the strength it has shown, it must have already obtained that super divine weapon, the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd."
Serpent Spear Douluo, who hadn't heard clearly, asked curiously, "Xu Sheng, what are you muttering to yourself? Have you discovered something?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, "No... nothing, just confirming my own thoughts!"
This statement confused the other even more, "What do you mean? Can you be clearer?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and affirmed, "The person I am pursuing was indeed hiding here!"
"What??"
Upon hearing these words, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately erupted with terrifying Soul Power, vigilantly looking around…
Damn, he hadn't sensed anything at all!
Could it be because the opponent's strength was too powerful??
In that case, wouldn't they risk perishing here!
Xu Sheng laughed lightly, "Serpent Spear Douluo, no need to be so vigilant, that person may have been hiding here, but they have already left."
Realizing his just now overreaction, Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help feeling peeved, "You…"
He hardly finished the sentence, annoyed that he had caused a big misunderstanding for no reason!
He was a guest elder of the Worship Hall, and he had his own pride!!
Xu Sheng pursed his lips and continued, "However, even with this information, we still can't infer where that person has fled to."
The frustrated Serpent Spear Douluo, crossing his arms, coldly retorted, "Hmph, didn't you say that person could transform into a human? Perhaps they'll just join some sect at random and reemerge once they've grown stronger."
"As for finding him, it's like searching for a needle in the sea, better forget it!"
Most importantly, he didn't want to continue the endeavor with the former, fearing the loss of his own life!
Xu Sheng's gaze turned unexpectedly serious, "You make a good point, but if we don't completely eliminate him, the human world will be doomed!"
