Chapter 3289 Tracking
Bi Bidong, standing nearby, heard these words and pride involuntarily suffused her cheeks…
This was the strength of their Spirit Hall Golden Generation, capable of completely crushing Soul Masters of the same age!!
Of course, in such a situation, restraint was still necessary…
She immediately spoke up, "His Majesty Xue Ye flatters us, Skywater Academy being able to hold on until now without any clear understanding of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation is also quite remarkable!!"
Her words contained no hint of sarcasm or belittlement…
But to Xue Ye, who heard this, it sounded exceptionally grating…
The opponent's modesty seemed like mockery to him!
He spoke up expressionlessly, "For the Martial Soul Hall to train such excellent Soul Masters, I presume a considerable amount of resources were expended?"
Bi Bidong seemed to catch the insinuation, "As Your Majesty says, the Spirit Hall Golden Generation has indeed consumed a great deal of resources!"
"But I believe that no matter who, all the students participating in today's competition have received the full support of their academy!!"
The resources invested by the Martial Soul Hall in these outstanding Soul Masters was far beyond what other academies could compare!!
Otherwise, why would they have stood so tall on the Continent for so long!!
Watching the conversation between the two of them, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were particularly solemn…
Today, what he saw was not only the excellence of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, but also the difficult future situation of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
However, Gu Rong, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected, "Sect Master, those vanished presences have appeared again!"
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised, "Uncle Gu, do you mean...?"
Gu Rong nodded slightly, "Hmm! Those presences are sinister and eerie, I am not mistaken in my senses!"
"It's even possible that they are not people from the Martial Soul Hall!"
Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips, "Not from Martial Soul Hall? Then this matter becomes rather complicated!"
With this in mind, his gaze turned to Bi Bidong…
He spoke with a hint of interrogation, "Your Holiness, just now, Uncle Gu sensed something unusual in Martial Soul City."
"It seems there were some indiscernible presences, are you aware of anything?"
Bi Bidong was taken aback and also cast her gaze toward him…
She narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean, Sect Master Ning? Could it be that you suspect the Martial Soul Hall?"
What was Ning Fengzhi selling in his metaphorical gourd?
What did he mean by indiscernible presences in Martial Soul City!
She hadn't received any reports from her subordinates!
After a full few seconds of scrutiny, Ning Fengzhi laughed lightly, "Your Holiness need not be agitated, I'm just asking out of curiosity; I have no intention of suspecting the Martial Soul Hall!"
"I assume that before hosting the Friendship Competition, Martial Soul Hall would have thoroughly checked Martial Soul City, not allowing any suspicious persons to enter!"
Bi Bidong clasped the Purple Crystal Scepter a bit tighter, replying, "Of course, since the Friendship Competition is held in Martial Soul City, the Martial Soul Hall naturally bears the responsibility of ensuring the safety of all Soul Masters who come from afar!"
"As long as they are in Martial Soul City, their safety is absolutely guaranteed!"
Ning Fengzhi did not press further, "If that's the case, then Ning is reassured!"
He then signaled to Gu Rong with a nod…
The latter immediately nodded, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, Your Holiness, I have some matters to attend to and must excuse myself."
With those words, he straightened his back, hands behind him, and left the site of the Friendship Competition…
This left even Xue Ye somewhat stupefied…
He, too, had no idea what exactly Ning Fengzhi was getting at!!
Could it be, they're reminding themselves that the Martial Soul Hall has planted quite a few people in Martial Soul City?
Highly likely to make a move after the friendlies end?
...
Having broken away from view, Gu Rong immediately burst into his greatest speed, rushing towards his destination...
A few minutes later, he reached a location within Martial Soul City...
"Those indistinct auras seem to be emanating from here!!"
He scanned his surroundings, finding that most of the people coming and going were Soul Masters and civilians, with no apparent anomalies...
However, Gu Rong didn't give up, but took a deep breath and concentrated on using his spiritual power to probe everyone present...
The words spoken by each person clearly reached his sea of consciousness...
"What a pity, today seems to be the last day of the friendly matches, yet I can't go watch!"
"Tell me about it, we're just bottom-rung, how can we have so much time? We still have to provide for our families."
"Hurry, hurry, this is the last match, they say it's Skywater Academy against the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, definitely worth watching!!"
"Huh? Skywater Academy against the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, I thought it was Heaven Dou Royal Academy, could my information be outdated?"
"Selling household goods here, everything at low prices, low prices!!"
"Hehehe, there sure are enough humans here, really feel like starting right away, slaughtering them all!!"
"Let's hold back for now, when night falls, that's our time to feast!!"
"Shush, keep it down. Wouldn't want to be noticed by the powerful Soul Masters of Martial Soul City, otherwise, we might be exposed!!"
Gu Rong's eyes snapped open as he instantly locked on to several figures in the distance...
"Finally found you!!"
From their conversation, it was clear these fellows were not ordinary Soul Masters!
There was a very high chance they were deranged evil Soul Masters, or perhaps, transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!!
He must capture them without using his Martial Soul, to properly interrogate them...
Among them, one disguised as a human by an abyssal creature seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction...
Just as their eyes met with Gu Rong's gaze...
The figure exclaimed, "Not good, we just got locked on by an incredibly powerful spiritual force. It must be a powerful human, let's get out of here fast!!"
These abyssal creatures glanced at each other and without hesitation, started to flee towards the area where the crowd was thickest...
Seeing this, Gu Rong thought to himself, "As I suspected, there's something wrong with them. Don't dream of escaping from my grasp!!"
If they truly were evil Soul Masters, then they must be eradicated in their infancy to prevent others from falling at their hands in the future!!
Little did he know, Yueguan, who was hidden and had received orders to observe him, was full of confusion...
"Hmm? What's Gu Rong sneaking around for? Could it be that he's spotted me and is intentionally leading me on a wild goose chase?"
"Well, never mind. His Holiness just instructed me to keep an eye on him. I just need to follow behind quietly!!"
With this thought, Yueguan also immediately followed Gu Rong's pace...
Of course, he did an excellent job of concealing his presence, to avoid being detected...
