Just as several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect were annihilated, the door to the closed-door chamber at the former site of the Moon Conceal Sect opened once again, and a robed cultivator walked out with a solemn expression.
Several of his trusted disciples had fallen simultaneously, making it impossible for the old Nascent Soul demon to continue feigning ignorance in seclusion. Immediately, without saying a word, he released several transmission symbols, sending messages to all the branch altars of the Ghost Spirit Sect in Yue Country, ordering an immediate investigation into the deaths of his disciples. He intended to personally take action and see who dared to lay hands on the disciples of the Fragmented Soul Sect.
However, his actions were obviously delayed.
Before the demon cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect could launch a large-scale search, Han Li had already left Yue Country and began crossing the Yuanwu Continent.
The Fragmented Soul True Immortal ultimately gained nothing. He only vaguely knew that several of his disciples had been killed by an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator. The other party had already left Yue Country, so even though he was furious, there was nothing he could do.
And more than ten days later, Han Yunzhi returned to the Qiling Mountains in Tianluo Country with unease, kneeling in front of the dark stone chamber and briefly recounting the events, personally begging for forgiveness from the old man inside.
"You were discovered by the other party from hundreds of miles away. All the others and the cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect were all wiped out, yet you alone managed to escape unharmed?" There was a hint of curiosity in the old man's voice.
"Yes, Senior Uncle. Yunzhi and Junior Sister Liu escaped separately, but only I managed to escape. The whereabouts of the others are unknown. Perhaps they have not yet been harmed, or perhaps..." Han Yunzhi inexplicably concealed the fact that she had encountered an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator who seemed to spare her. She only vaguely mentioned that she had managed to escape.
"If the other party could suppress you to the extent of the Wood Spirit Infant, it is naturally almost certain that they are a Nascent Soul cultivator. But being able to detect your movements from hundreds of miles away is terrifying. As far as I know, there are hardly any Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Southern Heaven. Could it be one of those old monsters?" The old man's voice lowered, carrying a deep sense of fear.
"I'm not sure about this, Senior Uncle. Because the other party's spiritual sense is so powerful, I dare not track them at close range. I can only vaguely sense that the person has left Yue Country, passed through Yuanwu, and headed north. Because going further is the territory of the righteous path and the influence of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, I dare not follow any further. In the end, I failed to learn the identity of the other party and had to return to our sect. Please forgive me, Senior Uncle."
"You have done nothing wrong, why apologize? If that person is indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if I went in person, it would be useless. The fact that you were able to come back alive is already remarkable. This is also my oversight. I thought that with your and Junior Sister Liu's secret sensing technique, it would be enough to find out about the other party, but I didn't expect the possibility of the other party being a Nascent Soul cultivator. Now that person has run so far away, no matter how ingenious your secret technique is, you cannot sense the whereabouts of the Spirit Infant. Let's leave it at that for now. You may rest. Also, I heard that Junior Brother Han seems to have come out of seclusion. Go see him." The old man sighed in the room and said slowly.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle, for your understanding. I will take my leave." Han Yunzhi bowed respectfully, feeling relieved, and then retreated.
Seeing Han Yunzhi's figure gradually disappearing, the old man in the stone chamber fell silent for a moment. Then, inexplicably, he spoke into the empty space.
