Chapter 786: Chapter 712 The Pot Chapter 786: Chapter 712 The Pot “The world has nearly fallen; divination faces great interference, with information exceedingly chaotic.”
Dai Lan gazed at the rapidly spinning hands of the pocket watch in her hand, her expression growing sowhat grave.
As a Catastrophe Level expert, her equipnt and tools were quite complete.
“Senior, it’s okay to just deal with it casually.
Behind the Witch Sect, there seems to be the terrifying existence of a Saint level.
We don’t need to try so hard.”
Patriarch Bright watched the dust storm enveloping the surface of Mars, also giving a sigh.
He had co here, pushed into a corner because Konoha still had his family’s team.
Since it wasn’t targeted against the Land of Fire or Konoha, he could afford to just go through the motions.
...
“Do you really think that you’d be safer going off alone now?”
Dai Lan looked at Patriarch Bright emotionlessly, causing his expression to stiffen slightly.
“Are you saying the Witch’s Church would ambush ?”
“Heh, perhaps those ninjas as well, since after all, they have the strength to easily take you down.”
Patriarch Bright fell silent upon hearing these words.
For now, it seed there was no conflict with the Land of Fire, but given his experience, he was aware that the other party’s warning wasn’t baseless!
At that ti, he could just say he died under the Witch’s Church’s command.
In this world, it really isn’t guaranteed that one can find the root of the problem!
Now thinking it over carefully, it seed safer to stay with the senior.
The latter had no more desires, only to complete the mission and accumulate rit for her family.
So a change of mission didn’t matter to her.
Also for the sa reason, should any trouble really arise, she would likely make a significant effort to protect him, making this Catastrophe Level owe her a favor.
“Thank you for the reminder.”
Although the likelihood of being ambushed while leaving wasn’t high, Patriarch Bright had to admit that it was riskier than staying with her!
“There’s no need to worry.
If the Witch’s Church really were that strong here, then those two from the Land of Fire would probably not be able to stand against them either.
So for the ti being, we should not be at much of a disadvantage.”
“Indeed, according to the information we have now, they act very brazenly.
If they were strong enough, they would have already been openly hostile.”
Bright began pondering continuously, confirming the details, then spoke sowhat helplessly,
“But if we keep searching aimlessly like this, it seems we won’t find any clues, ugh, the environnt here really is a bit troubleso…”
Actually, this kind of dragnet approach was ant for other Pioneers or even subdued natives to do.
After getting information, Sunder experts like her would strike decisively.
But the Cockroach People in this world were just too nurous, causing too great a loss for Pioneers of other levels.
“It’s not entirely without direction; my Spirit-seeking Paper Dolls have already detected traces of pollution.”
Dai Lan gave a cold smile and then produced a black paper doll.
On the paper doll, faint black mist could be seen wrapping around it.
This made Patriarch Bright’s face change slightly once more.
Aura of an Evil God!
Yet, for a person nearing death to make such a decision seed normal, a gamble to see whether they could gain favor and prolong their life.
Living was always better than dying!
However, as things stood, she seed to have gambled and lost; the chaotic feedback from the Evil God seldom yielded a positive response, especially since it had been narrowed down to increasing lifespan or Life Energy.
“There’s no need to fuss about it, I’m rely utilizing it.
With my strength and the years I’ve left, it isn’t His turn to erode .”
“Of course, I’m definitely clear on that point.”
No matter what, Patriarch Bright had reached Catastrophe Level, and he didn’t see things in absolute black and white.
Devotees of the Evil God might strike hard and govern strictly, but he himself had no psychological burden when it ca to necessary exploitation!
Just like using so prohibited drugs during end-of-life care.
“It’s precisely because of this that the senior has been able to find so clues.
However, there indeed seems to be a heavy presence of the Evil God within the Witch’s Church.”
“Hmph, with the existence of a potential Saint, that must just be so extrely talented Fortune Thieves.
Let’s not delve too deeply.
Setting a position will suffice; the rest we leave for Saint Ou to decide.”
Dai Lan faced the gigantic dust storm that had reached them, her expression remaining very composed.
Fearless, but also no need to undertake so aningless risks…
…
Amongst a cave strewn with insect corpses, Tao Yu stepped on the body of a black bug, crushing it underfoot, and once he observed the silent cave held no survivors, his figure gradually faded into the darkness.
When he reappeared, he was on the surface of Mars, thanks to the Flying Thunder God marking.
He continued to use Shadow Evasion, trailing behind the two swift shadows ahead.
“Quite impressive, to have marked so many locations, but I hadn’t expected that the other party seed to have placed a heavy bet here.”
Tao Yu, hidden within the shadows, faintly sensed a trace of pollution and was sowhat surprised by the old woman’s searching thods.
Without the conditions for divination, the other party had managed to find minute clues purely through those paper effigies.
She likely possessed so kind of induction ability, and her experience in tracking was extrely seasoned.
There were many instances where even Tao Yu couldn’t figure out how she had made her judgnts.
Since Tao Yu had made a deal with the Sage of Six Paths, he naturally wouldn’t waste the opportunity.
While tailing the two of them, each ti they covertly marked a location, he rushed in and eliminated the base.
He had destroyed quite a number of bases made up of bugs similar to cockroaches along the way.
“Looking at the distribution, it seems that the Witch’s Church wants to subjugate the Cockroach People.
The chosen locations are next to their nests and passages, the targeting of the Cockroach People’s tendencies is much more pronounced than targeting the Land of Fire…”
After clearing out another cave, Tao Yu could vaguely discern the sches of the Witch’s Church.
These unique insects must be a ‘universal soldier’ type utilised by the Witch’s Church, and their numbers were likely not small.
This ti, they were amassing forces in many places, waiting for the right ti to suddenly ‘replace’ the Cockroach People and attempt to control their communication layer.
It was sowhat similar to the mode of the Parasite Beasts.
It was just unclear what their last incursion into Konoha intended to accomplish.
Was it solely to hunt the Abura Clan, who might have sensed them?
“The Cockroach People also have a clear hierarchical societal structure.
If it’s the Witch Sect’s thods, indeed, they have a chance…”
The Cockroach People were prolific breeders and had low environntal requirents; in fact, they could be considered a pretty good farm.
It’s just that this transformation would take quite so ti, and it wasn’t Tao Yu’s current goal.
At that mont, Tao Yu’s mind suddenly stirred as if he had sensed sothing…
…
“Patriarch Bright is indeed experienced, having already marked so many bases.
There must be a grand conspiracy of the Witch’s Church here!”
Bright had been following Dai Lan as her assistant, and his expression also appeared exhilarated.
At first, he was concerned that the old woman was close to death and would act recklessly.
Now, it seed she was quite cautious, not readily attacking upon discovery!
“Even if I personally took action, I’m not confident of a clean sweep.
Instead, it might expose our tracks.
The Witch Sect has powerful individuals who can suppress us; there’s no need for that.”
Dai Lan spoke calmly, as if such operations were basic and not praise-worthy.
“Patriarch, you are right.
We don’t need to take such risks.”
Bright wholeheartedly agreed with her.
“Reinforcents should arrive soon, and once they do, we will strike together, excising them all…”
Although they were currently in a remote area, with the speed of a Catastrophe Level powerhouse, support should arrive quickly.
But at that mont, a string of bracelets on Dai Lan’s body suddenly exploded!
With crackling sounds, beads burst out, popping in the air and shattering into pieces.
Simultaneously, a jade pendant on Bright’s body also cracked.
This caused both their complexions to change.
“Clairvoyance?
Or positioning?”
“With such chaos in the information, how could they possibly locate us?”
The objects that broke on their persons were passive Anti-Divination Tools.
It was clear that so extre malevolence had triggered the threshold of the tools!
“It shouldn’t be like this!
We’ve been so covert!”
“How could…
how did they find us…”
Both were shocked and enraged, quickly taking out several tools to redy the situation.
“It’s fine.
The tools triggered, divination won’t be able to find us.
They can only search using the scent and clues we might have left behind, but since we didn’t strike at every marked location, they won’t know where we are…”
Almost as soon as Dai Lan’s reassuring words were uttered, two powerful presences had already locked onto them from afar.
It was as though they were calmly waiting ahead of them!
“How is this possible!
How do they know our next destination!”
“Could it be that the few places we scouted all noticed us?
How can it be!
Is their Perception that strong?!
How did they detect this…”
