In the void, 2 figures looked down from above like deities.

Inside the boundless dense forest below, over 100 figures kept shuttling around fixed areas as they did their best to locate Ou Yangming.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming seemed to have completely disappeared from the universe this time. No matter how the followers searched, they could not find any trace of him.

Xue Xuanye had a grim look on his face. He stood on a spot where branches and leaves had fallen, and he searched with his sinister eyes as though he wanted to find something useful from this area.

This was undoubtedly Ou Yangming's first landing spot after he used the Blood Flight. Although he was also a formidable cultivator, the skill was incredibly fast and almost reached his controllable limit, hence he still left some traces when he landed.

Everyone thought that they would be able to track Ou Yangming with some clues after they found this spot.

After all, apart from them, 2 Venerable Ones were watching everything from above. As soon as there was a huge movement or a powerful aura in the forest below, they would be able to notice right away.

Under the situation where he did not want to alert the 2 Venerable Ones, Ou Yangming could only make a small escape. This was the reason Xue Xuanye was confident about catching up to him.

Even so, his followers fed back to him an unbelievable truth after they searched for a brief moment.

They had lost Ou Yangming's track, so much so that they could not continue looking based on their only clue anymore.

Xue Xuanye's face took on an even ghastlier expression as he saw the flustered faces around him. This was because he understood better what he would be facing later.

"Search! Find him even if you have to dig deep!" Xuan Xueye yelled furiously, "His trace was cut off here, but he couldn't have gone far. If you fail to find him, you can forget about living!"

His voice echoed far in the forest. The other Devil God's followers were appalled, but they dared not disobey him. Therefore, they went all-out to search for the young fellow, and some of them even began digging the ground.

Xuan Xueye hesitated for a while before he bit the bullet and jumped to the top of a giant tree. His body seemed to be weightless as he stood at the tip and swayed with the wind. "Sir, we haven't been able to track Ou Yangming."

Blood Shadow kept quiet without saying a word, and he did not even spare Xue Xuanye a glance. It was as if he did not hear the man at all. On the other hand, Li Xin glared at him and questioned, "How much longer?"

Xue Xuanye felt bitter, but he could only answer helplessly, "Sir, we're looking for him now. As long as he's still hiding here, we'll surely be able to find him!"

"Hmph, useless thing!" Li Xin shouted angrily. Xue Xuanye's body seemed to have been struck by lightning, where he fell as his legs went weak. He crashed through the branches and fell hard on the ground, but he was glad that it turned out like this.

Li Xin was displeased about his efficiency but did not kill him, after all. Instead, he was given a chance to make up for this.

As such, Xue Xuanye must find Ou Yangming in the shortest time possible, or Li Xin might not be so patient next time.

Blood Shadow cleared his throat in the sky and expressed, "Li Xin, they're also loyal followers of Sir Devil God, after all. It's not easy to find him."

They were in Danzhou, where all of Sir Devil God's followers were his subordinates. Li Xin could kill them without any hesitation, but he was not willing to suffer the loss.

Li Xin smirked and looked coldly at Blood Shadow. "It won't be a pity at all even if useless people die. If they can't complete my order, what's the point of letting them live?"

Blood Shadow's face twitched. He disagreed with Li Xin, but he dared not refute him at this time.

He pointed out something obscurely after some thought. "Li Xin, we've scanned and inspected this area with our conceptions but didn't find Ou Yangming at all. It's evident that he's exceptional in concealing himself."

Li Xin scoffed. "That young fella's good at hiding indeed, but I'd like to see where else he could hide."

As he closed his eyes, a bloody light shadow rose from his body. The shadow was very light at first, but it quickly became solid.

Blood Shadow's face changed, and he exclaimed with a look of fear. He moved his body slightly as though he wanted to get away, but he decided not to act rashly after a moment of hesitation. This was because the man did not know if Li Xin would continue to search using the secret technique or would give up and go after him to settle accounts with him.

Even against the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, Blood Shadow had various tricks to escape, but they were useless against Li Xin. He was much more afraid of Li Xin than other top-grade Venerable Ones.

"Hah…"

Li Xin suddenly shouted. His voice turned into red visible waves that gushed below.

The people that were still searching were stunned, and they sensed the blood waves penetrating their bodies. At that moment, their bodies turned immensely cold as if they had suddenly fallen into a 10,000-year-old ice house that was going to freeze them to their deaths.

Xue Xuanye's face changed, and he became more fearful.

This was a mighty secret technique that utilized blood light ripples. None of the beings with life forces would be able to evade it.

Nevertheless, the secret technique was terribly harmful to all living beings, so much so that even the user must use his or her origin power. Unless it was absolutely necessary, nobody would act so crazily. However, how long had it been? Li Xin was already impatient.

For some reason, Xue Xuanye sensed an upsurge of a sad feeling from his heart.

'We're probably as insignificant as ants to Sir Li Xin.'

※※※※

Ou Yangming wore his cloak and wrapped himself inside.

His aura was completely concealed by the cloak, such that not a single hint of it was exposed.

Sure enough, the cloak had endless wonderful functions, to the extent that Venerable Ones would not be able to spot him with their mental conceptions.

Ou Yangming hid patiently and quietly on a huge tree. Through some gaps, he had seen Sky-devouring Evil Remnants walking past the tree several times, but they could not find his hiding spot even when they searched using secret techniques or looked up.

The young fellow was very pleased with Fat Antelope's contribution. He had decided to treat it better once it returned as he looked forward to more of its produce.

Just as he was secretly happy and was thinking about how he should break free from the fearsome powerhouse, his body quivered.

An indescribably cold and horrifying aura drifted past his body. It did not notice him, but its chilly power was pervasive enough to invade his body through the cloak.

The aura was so frightening that his body froze for a second.

Despite that, the giant head inside his sea of consciousness burst out next. It widened its bottomless mouth and sucked the endless void.

Consequently, the cold aura gathered and entered its mouth, then it was completely converted into its energy.

That said, Ou Yangming felt bitter because he knew his whereabouts were exposed.

Without any hesitation, he transformed into a light and jumped down from the tree to dash forward nimbly.

The second after he left the tree, a giant palm appeared in the void and smacked the tree as swiftly as a sudden clap of thunder.

As a result, the innocent tree, which had lived for an unknown period, was crushed by the palm. It turned into countless broken branches and scattered leaves that danced in the air. Following that, a scoff was heard as Li Xin appeared beside the tree. He spoke scornfully as if he was playing cat and mouse with Ou Yangming, "Trying to flee again? Let's see where you can go!"

He flashed and pursued the young fellow.

As for the 100 over followers that had been tracking Ou Yangming, half of them collapsed to the ground. Their bodies kept twitching, and blood could be seen flowing out of their eyes, noses, and ears. It took only a brief moment for them to stop breathing, and they lost any signs of life.

In the sky, Blood Shadow was not resigned to the outcome, and he was enraged. Below him, the followers that survived fell butt first to the ground. Instead of looking afraid, they looked flustered as though they had lost their faith.

When Li Xin performed the secret technique earlier, he actually adopted the Secret Devouring Technique to compensate for his origin power.

Nonetheless, he did not devour the public lives as there were too many kinds of them. It would be tougher for him to digest their life forces, and it would cause him a certain negative impact.

In that case, Li Xin ended up targeting the Devil God's followers that served him. He drew enough life forces from them to support the secret technique.

The secret technique helped Li Xin track Ou Yangming, but it was at the expense of the lives of nearly half of the followers. As expected, he was one to achieve his goal by fair means or foul, but what would the remaining followers think after this?

"Boom, boom, boom…"

When the remaining followers heard the deafening rumbles in the distance and the luster that left at the speed of light, they were not interested in pursuing the young fellow anymore.

Xue Xuanye looked up at Sir Blood Shadow through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

Blood Shadow simply turned his head quietly and flew into the distance without an expression.

Xue Xuanye was dumbfounded for some time, then he turned around and shouted, "Let's go."

With that, he ran in the opposite direction. The other disciples that were scattered in the forest were startled at first, then they dispersed and vanished from this area.
