Chapter 1005 - 899: Encounter with a Demon Cultivator? (Part 2)
He advanced for about fifteen minutes, nearly reaching the castle he had demolished, yet he hadn't retracted the One-sided Heavenly Tribulation.Although within the One-sided Heavenly Tribulation, his Divine Sense probing ability was somewhat impaired, reduced to less than one-third of its normal state, this was sufficient for him.
He did not realize that the owner of the previous silhouette sensed the appearance of Heavenly Tribulation power in the surroundings and assumed they had been discovered by a Divine World expert. Thus, the silhouette's owner dared not linger and used the Earth Escape Secret Technique to flee as fast as possible.
Duan Gujin entered the castle that had been struck down by lightning. Although the castle had been thoroughly destroyed, he still discovered some clues.
He did not find any other living creatures inside the castle, which seemed to be inhabited only by the silhouette that had just fled.
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he thought that perhaps the person who fled carried a treasure capable of holding people, taking everything they needed.
He checked the castle's interior decorations and found them to be very simple.
"It seems the person who lived in this castle just treated it as a simple dwelling!"
After some contemplation, he considered this a possibility.
He extended his Divine Sense to examine the vicinity and soon found that from his current position, he could view the crack they had come through earlier.
"Oh no, I don't know what happened to them now!"
He flashed, retracting the One-sided Heavenly Tribulation. Then, he turned into a stream of light, speeding toward the crack.
Soon, he reached the edge of the crack and slowly descended using the Flying Technique.
After a while, he finally saw Yu Man and the others.
He immediately had them fly upward, then took them to the previously demolished building.
Seeing the massive building, Yu Man and the others were shocked; they didn't expect someone would live here.
"Who exactly was that silhouette?"
The same question crossed everyone's mind.
Yu Man's eyes flickered for a while before she finally told Duan Gujin she thought of someone.
"I can't be sure if the person living here is the one I've heard about; just listen to what I say!"
Yu Man said earnestly, as she hadn't seen the silhouette's true appearance; she could only speculate that the fleeing silhouette resembled someone she had heard of.
The truth would only be known once they found the owner of the silhouette.
"I heard there's a traitor in the Divine World, expelled from his sect for raping fellow disciples. Afterward, he began raising Evil Ghosts, and many Divine Realm Disciples were reportedly slaughtered by them! The Divine World sent many experts to hunt him down, eventually cornering him here. Due to the unique Rule Power in this place, top Divine World experts couldn't enter, so they could only watch as he escaped inside. It's said he was severely injured by Divine World experts, so no news of him had emerged for decades, leading the Divine World to assume he was dead! Judging by appearances, he likely isn't dead but alive!"
Yu Man sorted out her thoughts and spoke.
"Do you know that person's name?"
Gu Xiaoyue immediately asked.
Yu Man pondered seriously for a while, then said: "I remember that person seemed to be named Meng Yunfei!"
Upon hearing this name, Duan Gujin found it somewhat familiar.
He racked his brain, and suddenly he remembered the name.
"I have some impression of this name; I've recalled it!"
He suddenly remembered that after entering the Divine World, he heard of many Divine World experts offering a high bounty to hunt down a Demon Cultivator named Meng Yunfei.
It's said that Meng Yunfei raised numerous Evil Ghosts and even cultivated some into Demons.
Demons are a more terrifying form of Evil Ghosts.
"I've realized who Meng Yunfei is; here, he can cultivate Evil Ghosts into Demons. Once he creates Demons, he could become the overlord in areas impenetrable by Divine World experts!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Yes, you're absolutely right! If Meng Yunfei cultivates Evil Ghosts into Demons, it will truly be perilous for us!"
Yu Man's eyes flickered, and she immediately decided to abandon the mission and lead the team out of there quickly.
"We must abandon this mission; Meng Yunfei is terrifying, and we must leave here at once!"
Yu Man said hastily.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue and the others broke out in sweat the size of soybeans.
They initially thought this action was just a small adventure but did not expect to encounter such a terrifying situation here.
Gu Xiaoyue and the others had also heard Ascension Academy Elders explain the difference between Evil Ghosts and Demons; they knew Demons could indeed be considered the kings of Evil Ghosts.
In terms of strength, one Demon is at least equivalent to one hundred ordinary Martial Saint Realm Evil Ghosts.
Thinking of the terror of Demons, cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"Let's go now!"
Gu Xiaoyue and the others quickly took some Elixir Pills to ensure they were in the Peak State.
"Alright!"
Yu Man was very worried that they might encounter an attack from Meng Yunfei here. She quickly used the Indicating Compass for direction and shortly after led everyone to rapidly leave the area.
Under Yu Man's lead, everyone moved at Extreme Speed, fleeing as fast as they could.
After a moment, Duan Gujin frowned. He cautiously extended his Divine Sense to carefully examine the situation around them.
For some reason, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind, making him feel as if a poisonous snake was watching him, sending chills down his spine.
The feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Yu Man, do you feel anything?"
Duan Gujin secretly transmitted a voice message to Yu Man.
"I don't know why, but I have a persistent sense of foreboding in my heart!"
Yu Man replied.
"I feel the same, it's as if something is watching us!"
Duan Gujin sighed, surprised to find Yu Man had the same feeling as he did.
If Yu Man hadn't sensed danger, he might have thought he was just being paranoid.
But now, with Yu Man sharing the same feeling, he believed there was likely true danger lurking nearby.
He extended his Divine Sense, always trying to pinpoint the source of danger.
But he found no matter how he extended his Divine Sense, he couldn't sense where the danger originated.
After a while, Yu Man was shocked to find her Indicating Compass had malfunctioned.
Seeing the Indicating Compass in her hands spinning uncontrollably, everyone was alarmed.
"Without the Indicating Compass, how do we get out of here?"
Gu Xiaoyue was instantly terrified, realizing Yu Man's Indicating Compass must have been interfered with.
Therefore, the Indicating Compass couldn't be used here.
Yu Man was distressed, not expecting the Indicating Compass to fail at the crucial moment.
She had thought the surroundings wouldn't affect its operation, so she didn't bring a backup Indicating Compass.
"What about you? Did none of you bring an Indicating Compass?"
Yu Man asked fearfully.
Upon checking her Indicating Compass, she found the internal Array was completely broken.
"I have one! But I'm not sure it works here."
A young man quickly fished an Indicating Compass out of his storage ring, eagerly activating its internal Array.
After a while, he discovered the compass needle was wildly spinning on the spot.
"Damn, this Indicating Compass can't be used here!"
The young man's face turned to fear.
Without being able to use the Indicating Compass, they faced the high likelihood of getting lost here.
Thinking of those terrifying legends, everyone was instantly filled with trepidation.
