Chapter 826 Tracking!
Mountain Peak.
Fang Yu lay in a depression on the ground, with Su Lengyun collapsed in his arms.
The spatial tunnel they had just passed through was the bumpiest journey Fang Yu had experienced in his life.
It felt like being caught in a tumble dryer, spinning wildly until they were thrown out of the tunnel.
At least they had escaped that hellish place.
Fang Yu sat up straight, glanced at Su Lengyun, and found that she had passed out again.
But this time, Fang Yu didn’t rush to wake her up. He stood up alone to observe his surroundings.
The scene before him was completely different from the previous place that had made him feel so uncomfortable.
Blue sky, green mountains, clear waters… life flourished everywhere.
The scenery here was no less beautiful than that of Fang Yu’s mansion in Beidu.
“Where is this place? Have we been teleported away from the ancient ruins?” Fang Yu wondered, his eyes flickering.
Before Fang Yu could fully understand his surroundings, he sensed several powerful auras heading toward his position.
People?
Fang Yu’s eyes shifted slightly as he released his divine consciousness.
Soon, he saw five figures rushing rapidly toward the peak of the mountain where he was located.
While releasing his divine consciousness, Fang Yu also took in the full view of the mountain he was on.
Only then did he realize that the mountain had a very peculiar shape, like a spinning top… or an inverted triangle, narrow at the bottom and widening toward the top.
Fang Yu was currently at the center of the mountain peak.
As for other details of the mountain, his divine consciousness had swept over them, but he had no time to examine them closely.
Because those five figures were about to arrive.
“Let’s see what these people want.”
With a thought, Fang Yu immediately flashed back to the depression.
He picked up the unconscious Su Lengyun, then leaped to a spot about twenty meters away from the depression. He released his Xuanran energy to disguise himself and Su Lengyun as a small tree.
In less than ten seconds, a whooshing sound came from the sky.
Those five figures descended from the air, landing in front of the depression.
“Lord Hun… something seems to have fallen on the mountaintop, creating this depression,” a general said, looking at the crater.
“Not something, but someone!” Hun Liu stated firmly.
He was extremely sensitive to human auras.
When he first heard the sound from this location, he immediately sensed a faint human aura.
That was why he had rushed over so urgently.
That legendary flower was his prize, and he would not allow it to fall into anyone else’s hands!
Someone was here?
The four generals’ expressions changed as they immediately released their divine consciousness to scan the surroundings.
If someone had been here… where had they gone?
“To impact the ground like this… even if the person didn’t die, their bones must be severely damaged. They couldn’t have gone far,” one general frowned, looking at the four or five-meter deep depression.
The other three generals remained silent as they used their divine consciousness to cover the entire mountain, but found no unusual auras.
“Lord Hun, we haven’t found anyone,” another general spoke.
“Hmm… they must be hiding,” Hun Liu said in a deep voice. “If I can sense them, they can surely sense our arrival.”
“So now… what should we do? Do you want us to search for this person?” the general asked.
Hun Liu slowly shook his head and turned to look ahead. “No need. Just follow me. I need to find a flower on this mountaintop.”
“Yes, sir!” the four generals responded in unison.
“The aura from these people… and the one they call Lord Hun…” Fang Yu, disguised as a tree, silently observed the five people while pondering.
Soon, he confirmed that these five individuals were from the Half-Spirit Clan!
And the person wearing the black cloak, addressed as Lord Hun, was likely the mastermind who had used the Soul Altar to control many people!
Upon realizing this, Fang Yu was pleased.
He had just started investigating the Half-Spirit Clan and was worried about lacking leads, but now five members of the clan had delivered themselves to him.
One of them likely held a high position within the Half-Spirit Clan.
This was a rare opportunity, possibly even a chance to uncover the clan’s headquarters.
Additionally, these Half-Spirit Clan members had come to this place apparently to find a flower.
What kind of flower was it?
It must be something valuable.
Therefore, Fang Yu didn’t rush, continuing to disguise himself as a tree, standing still.
But at that moment, Hun Liu suddenly turned around and looked directly at Fang Yu’s position.
The other four generals also followed Hun Liu’s gaze and looked over.
“Isn’t this just a tree?” The four generals looked confused and turned to Hun Liu.
Hun Liu, however, stared intently at the small tree, his amber eyes emitting a faint glow.
“Have I been discovered?”
Fang Yu held Su Lengyun motionless, staring back at Hun Liu through his disguise.
“Lord Hun, what’s wrong?” a general beside him couldn’t help but ask.
Hun Liu didn’t respond. He raised his left palm and chopped forward!
“Swoosh!”
A cold light flashed through the air, instantly cutting the small tree in half at the waist!
“Thud!”
The tree was split in two, with the upper part falling to the ground.
It looked completely normal.
“It’s nothing, let’s go,” Hun Liu finally shifted his gaze and turned to move quickly forward.
The four generals immediately followed.
All five left the area near the depression and flew toward the distant part of the mountaintop.
At this moment, the tree that had been cut in two flashed with light.
The figures of Fang Yu and Su Lengyun appeared.
“This Lord Hun has quite sensitive perception,” Fang Yu thought, looking in the direction the five had departed.
Fang Yu glanced at Su Lengyun lying before him, extended a finger to lightly touch her forehead, waking her up.
“Get up, the scenery around us is beautiful,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the surroundings as if in a dream.
From the moment she had entered that path leading to darkness, her heart had been tense, feeling extremely oppressed.
Now, returning to this lush green environment, she felt refreshed, all negative emotions dissipating.
“Next, I need to follow a group of people… for safety, you should stay here and wait for me. I’ll be back soon,” Fang Yu said.
“…Alright, I’ll wait for you here.” Though she had many questions, Su Lengyun knew this wasn’t the time to ask. She nodded gently.
“You can find a place to sit, like that depression over there—it’s quite suitable,” Fang Yu said as he rose and rushed in the direction the five Half-Spirit Clan members had gone.
Su Lengyun looked ahead and obediently walked toward the nearby depression.
…
Fang Yu concealed his aura, released his divine consciousness, and quickly caught up with Hun Liu’s group.
Three minutes later, he arrived at the edge of the mountaintop.
Hun Liu and the four generals were standing at the cliff edge, seemingly observing something.
Fang Yu activated a technique to make himself completely transparent, slowly descended nearby, and quietly observed the group’s actions.
“Lord Hun, this is the end,” one general said.
Hun Liu looked at the azure sky ahead and frowned slightly.
According to the map Dao Kong had given him, that legendary flower should be at the peak of this mountain.
But just now, they had searched the entire peak and found nothing.
Where was the flower?
Could Dao Kong’s map be wrong?
That seemed unlikely, as all previous directions on the map had been correct—it couldn’t suddenly be wrong at this point.
Assuming the map was accurate, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that the flower had already been taken by someone else.
This possibility was almost zero.
The Eye of the Flood had only opened two days ago, and the martial artists of Beidu had their attention diverted by other matters and hadn’t yet reacted. Martial artists from other regions wouldn’t dare to come…
The flower certainly hadn’t been taken.
So… only one possibility remained.
There must be some mechanism or formation at the peak of this mountain.
The mechanism needed to be triggered for the flower to appear.
“You four, search the surroundings again. Report any anomalies to me,” Hun Liu said.
“Yes, sir!” The four generals immediately flew in four different directions.
Hun Liu took two steps forward, with half a foot stepping over the cliff edge, and closed his eyes.
