The calm sea surged due to nine rapidly moving figures, a strong whooshing sound piercing the air. As they flew westward, shadows continuously shifted on the dark sea surface, numbering in the dozens.
Soon, one of the shadows slowly broke through the surface, revealing a giant whale, over ten zhang in length, its massive body constantly swaying on the sea surface.
Three figures stood proudly at the head, and the Peddler glanced around, frowning slightly, "Is this all the formation we have?"
Counting up, there were only about thirty giant whales. If they let them escape again, who knows when they’d find them next.
The Endless Sea Domain was vast, and it wasn’t always easy to locate them quickly each ti. The doctor still didn’t take his words seriously.
There were clearly more Puppet Beasts, yet they brought so few.
The doctor curled his lips; in fact, such a formation was no small matter already. They were just capturing soone, not attacking the Celestial Dao Sect, hardly worth deploying all forces.
Moreover, he indeed had many Puppet Beasts, but not all were such big ones!
The ones serving as his eyes included a tiny fish, a fish so small it couldn’t be any smaller, now following behind the giant whale at a speed unbefitting its size.
Fish species like these, primarily used for spying, were the most nurous, while giant fish were the least. There’s a reason for that—the resources, ti, and effort required to refine such a giant whale were imnse.
So the Peddler’s words left him feeling slightly slighted, what did he an by just this formation, he was already doing his best!
"It’s enough."
He spoke with so annoyance.
The Peddler pursed his lips, inexplicably annoyed. After Han Yu’s escape, he had an uncomfortable feeling deep down.
At first, he thought it was because the other party destroyed his island, causing pent-up frustration, yet now as they were about to recapture the person, he still felt a deep unease.
This peculiar feeling lingered, unsettling him greatly.
Beside him, the doctor was full of confidence, "Just wait, and let’s give that little fellow a surprise shortly!"
The Peddler remained silent, rely staring ahead. Gradually, a light appeared in his eyes...
Soon he noticed sothing amiss. It wasn’t his eyes lighting up, but a dazzling light sweeping toward them with terrifying montum.
Without thinking, he turned and retreated a li away. Duopo shuddered all over and hurriedly followed, but only the doctor was left stunned, too slow to react, finally diving into the body of the giant whale.
The light struck the whale, instantly stirring a hundred-zhang high wave, with a deafening sound resounding.
As the waves turned into drizzling rain gently descending, they finally saw nine figures quickly encircling them.
The Peddler and Duopo’s faces turned instantly sullen, and the doctor was montarily stunned when he crawled out from the bloody hole the whale had been blasted into.
"Bastard, is this the surprise you wanted to give him?"
The Peddler couldn’t help but curse as he wiped the seawater off his face; this was a fright ant for himself.
He was supposed to find Han Yu, but instead, he found himself in soone else’s ambush.
Seeing the smile on the old Taoist’s face, the Peddler suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Damn, what a headache!
...
Han Yu was also feeling a bit exhausted at the mont.
The Artifact Spirit wore a look of disbelief, "You got lost even with a Compass?"
Yes, Han Yu was lost again, which was simply absurd, especially since he managed to get lost while holding a Compass.
Han Yu’s face was extrely dark, the veins in his hand holding the Compass bulging, yet he dared not force it, having already circled in place for nearly half a two-hour period.
He was supposed to circle to the northwest, but now he couldn’t get out. Following the Compass towards the northwest for a while, the pointer suddenly pointed southeast, a complete discrepancy.
"It might not be walking incorrectly, or it might not even be the Compass’s fault."
After trying for so long, he gradually sensed sothing was off. If it was really the Compass’s fault, the situation wouldn’t be the sa every ti, and there’s no way he could be at fault, as he was following the Compass as well.
Which left the possibility of a problem with this stretch of sea.
A Maze Array?
Or perhaps an Illusion Array?
"Who the hell’s got nothing better to do but set up such a laborious and thankless setup in such a large sea domain."
The Artifact Spirit, too, cursed at this possibility.
Han Yu said with a weird expression, "Surely it’s soone who doesn’t want others to intrude; can you guess who it might be?"
Corpse Refining Lineage?
Or Celestial Dao Sect?
Another vexing choice, though this ti Han Yu decided not to make a choice.
Whatever it was, couldn’t he just not go in?
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to think he’d run into a pushover like a split soul every ti; if he encountered soone stronger, then he’d be in trouble.
"Let’s go; we’ll change direction."
Han Yu turned and flew in the opposite direction without looking back, but after a quarter of an hour, his face turned dark again.
He was lost again!
This ti flying southeast, yet the Compass stubbornly showed he was flying northwest.
Stuck in a dilemma, he couldn’t advance, but neither could he retreat.
"Crazy! What’s the point of such a setup, to let people go or stop them?"
Han Yu cursed angrily; as his temper flared, a sea of flas engulfed around him, scorching everything within a li, leaving it all distorted...
...
At this mont, Liu Zongyuan watched leisurely as Splitsoul writhed on the ground. The Soul Removal Array enveloped him like a persistent sore, the pain of soul extraction tearing so excruciating it was unbearable.
In a re instant, Splitsoul felt as if an eternity had passed; this pain only known from mory, experiencing firsthand, was a first.
The useless Splitsoul watched this embodint expressionlessly; that bastard had always had it easy without experiencing this agony. Let him have a taste.
The result was miserable; less than a quarter of an hour later, Splitsoul surrendered.
"I confess, stop, I confess..." Splitsoul rolled as he pleaded.
"Bah, coward." The useless Splitsoul beside him spat at him, mocking as he returned the words verbatim.
This scene was more novel than obtaining intelligence from the Eighth.
How often in life did one get to witness this absurd self-tornting spectacle, extraordinarily ridiculous.
Liu Zongyuan and the people beside him laughed heartily, not expecting the next mont for a muffled sound to echo from the sky outside.
"The Array’s been tampered with!"
Soone’s face changed.
And judging by the commotion, it wasn’t minor but grandiose. The Array being ten li away from here and reaching like this suggested an imnse scene ten li beyond.
"Was it you?"
The first thought Liu Zongyuan had was to glare viciously at Splitsoul, knowing only three of them remained here, making it reasonable for Splitsoul’s other forms to rescue himself.
"Don’t wrong !"
Splitsoul had just stopped rolling and was caught off guard, instantly claiming injustice.
"You brought here blindfolded, how could I know the location."
This was true; regardless of which Splitsoul form was brought in, they remained exceptionally cautious, fearing exposure of the location.
Knowing this bastard had many forms, if the one here learned the location, those outside would likewise know, potentially bringing Yama Hall’s n in force to create havoc.
"Let’s go together and see!"
Liu Zongyuan’s face darkened; if not Splitsoul, then perhaps soone from Yama Hall had arrived!
