Desperate Persuit!

(~˘▾˘)~~(˘▾˘~)

=====

Dai Mubai sat somewhat confused in the carriage, allowing the coachman to drive the carriage forward.

Although he harbored hatred in his heart, to be honest, he didn't know where he should go, or where he could go.

Returning to Star Luo was out of the question. He had escaped from there, and for the people of Star Luo, a deserter like him, even if he wasn't facing execution, he would definitely be ridiculed by the world.

Furthermore, considering his current condition...

Dai Mubai's legs trembled unconsciously.

He couldn't allow himself to be seen in this state by the people of Star Luo!

He was a prince. A prince, no matter his lacking talent, character, reputation, and whatever else aside, was still a prince, one who had the qualifications to contend for the throne.

He was supposed to carry on the Dai family's legacy, to have the qualifications to sit on that highest seat!

But what about now?

If his situation was discovered by the people of Star Luo, not to mention anything else, the Star Luo royal family would be the first to condemn him. A eunuch prince was a disgrace to any royal aristocracy.

Once exposed, the first thing Dai Mubai would have to face was his own relatives!

Being homeless, Dai Mubai had no idea where to go, and he was even lost in his thoughts, allowing the coachman to drive aimlessly.

"Sir, there's a village up ahead. Should we stop for a bit?" the coachman's voice came.

Stop? Dai Mubai wore a confused expression and felt a dull ache from his crotch. He groaned, "Fine, let's rest for a while..."

The coachman continued to drive the carriage, and Dai Mubai pulled back the curtain, looking at the road outside with a complicated expression.

Confusion, hatred, anger, powerlessness...

A few days ago, he was still a playboy reveling in extravagance and enjoying the company of twin sisters, achieving the achievement of killing thousands of people.

And now, he...

Suddenly, a chilling aura emerged.

This inexplicable aura furrowed Dai Mubai's brow, pulling him out of his sad mood.

Though he didn't have a clear destination on this journey, the roads taken by the coachman were official routes under the control of the Heavenly Emperor Empire.

These roads were relatively safe and easy, with temporary rest stations along the way. Basically, there would be no danger, yet, for some unknown reason, Dai Mubai felt a sense of unease.

"Driver, where are we headed?"

"To Heaven Dou City, my lord."

The coachman's voice reached him, "Although the lord said we could go wherever, I've noticed that your attire is luxurious and your demeanor extraordinary. You must be a noble's son. If you want some amusement, our empire's capital, Heaven Dou City, is the natural choice!"

"Heaven Dou City..."

The eerie sensation came from behind. Although this was an official road and danger should be unlikely, Dai Mubai's vigilance heightened.

Over the past two days, Dai Mubai had noticed a situation.

Despite losing his male characteristics, apart from that painful spot, his other injuries had mostly healed. What surprised him even more was that his soul power not only hadn't decreased but seemed to be increasing. His insight and perception had also significantly improved, which surprised Dai Mubai.

In a daze, an immense surge of soul power descended from above. Dai Mubai's expression changed, his martial soul materializing, and he rolled out of the carriage window.

"Boom!"

Under this surge of soul power, the carriage exploded, and the coachman, who had been chatting with him just moments ago, was blasted away and lost his breath on the spot.

"Who is it?!"

Dai Mubai's face turned extremely ugly. The three yellow-yellow-purple spirit rings intertwined around him, and with the White Tiger martial soul possessed, he was still strong. However, for some reason, his expression seemed to lack the usual dominance and instead held an air of femininity.

The soul power impact struck again, and Dai Mubai's expression changed once more. The first and third spirit rings on his body activated simultaneously.

The White Tiger Protective Shield and the White Tiger Diamond Transformation, two enhancing soul skills, opened at the same time. However, even so, Dai Mubai was still blown away by the force of that soul-power impact.

When he struggled to get back up from the ground, his left shoulder had drooped, clearly broken.

'The attack isn't coming from the ground, but from the sky.'

'The strength of this soul power is at least dozens of levels higher than mine, and moreover...'

He was very familiar with this soul power!

Dai Mubai's face turned extremely dark, he raised his head, his fierce face roaring to the sky: "Flender, it's you!"

Having the ability to fly as a Soul Saint was rare. What's more important was that he felt extremely familiar with that soul power.

With Dai Mubai's furious shout, the soul power pervading the sky suddenly stagnated, allowing Dai Mubai to lock the identity of the person responsible!

"Why, I've already followed your instructions and left Shrek. I've left Soto City too and you still want to kill me. Why!"

"We were once teachers and students. Just for the sake of a mere Tang San, is it worth it for you to do this?!"

"There is no reason."

A calm voice echoed in the air, and Dai Mubai felt his vision blur. Flender, with his wings spread wide, had appeared right in front of him.

The coercion of a Soul Saint made cold sweat cover Dai Mubai's back, his legs trembling. The suppression from those seven spirit rings was something a small soul venerable like him couldn't resist!

"Why!"

Dai Mubai clenched his teeth, raising his head to glare at Flender.

Flender's face remained expressionless, his soul power's suppression growing stronger: "I said, no reason."

"If I must give a reason... that is your identity, a scion of the Star Luo royal family, Dai Mubai!"

"Do you have a grudge against the Star Luo royal family?"

Dai Mubai instinctively asked, but upon second thought, he immediately denied the idea.

Gazing at Flender's indifferent face, he understood everything in an instant, a mocking smile appearing on his face: "I see, you're afraid, Flender. You're afraid!"

"You're afraid of my identity, afraid that when I return to Star Luo, I'll come looking for trouble. Hahaha, Flender, how ridiculous, how ridiculous!"

"Take a good look. Is the path I'm taking leading to Star Luo?"

Flender's expression remained unchanged. He naturally knew that this path wasn't leading to Star Luo. After all, the Heaven Dou City was at the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the path Dai Mubai was currently taking was completely opposite to Star Luo.

But even so, Flender had no intention of letting him go.

As one of the former Golden Iron Triangle, Flender had witnessed far too much. None of those who released the tiger back to the mountains had a good ending. Even he, acting along with the other two, had learned this lesson.

To prevent any accidents, he had to snuff out the danger in its cradle!
