Chapter 612, Tracing Insect
Zi Mo hurriedly led Yang Kai and Shui Ling out of the jungle and then rushed towards the Abandoned Earth, seemingly afraid that her master would change his mind.
Half a day later, her speed gradually eased up, gently gasping, she turned to look at Yang Kai and Shui Ling helplessly, βYou twoβ¦ haaβ¦β
βYour master is quite interesting,β Yang Kai commented.
βMaster isnβt someone who doesnβt distinguish between right and wrong. He is also quite grateful to you for killing those people, so he decided to let you go.β
βGrateful?β Yang Kai shook his head, βI doubt that, as to why he let us go, he seems to have his own considerations.β
βConsiderations?β Zi Mo asked suspiciously.
Yang Kai smiled slightly before swiping the back of his hand lightly, opening a small cut out of which blood oozed. Staring for a moment, Yang Kai swiftly pinched a small object that seemed to be crawling out of the wound.
βA Tracing Insect?β Zi Moβs expression changed greatly, turning her gaze back to Yang Kai and asking, βDid master plant it on you?β
βWhat do you think?β Yang Kai asked with a sly expression on his face.
Zi Mo immediately felt embarrassed. Secretly planting a Tracing Insect on Yang Kai, only her master could accomplish something like that. Moreover, the grade of this insect wasnβt low; at first glance it was obvious it belonged to her master.
βDonβt worry about it, your master doing this really indicates he didnβt want to kill us; after all, we took some revenge for your Imperial Insect Faction and I also saved your life once. He probably did this so he can have an excuse to calm your Sen Luo Templeβs Sect Masterβs anger.β Yang Kai analyzed, as if seeing through all of Zi Moβs masterβs thoughts, quickly returning the Tracing Insect to his body.
βYouβ¦β Zi Mo was dumbfounded, βWhy did you put it back?β
βIf I kill it, how would your master explain himself to Sen Luo Temple?β Yang Kai smiled, βIf I havenβt guessed wrong, this little bug can be used to locate my position, yes?β
βEn, Tracing Insects come in male, female pairs. Right now, the female has been planted on you so as long as one has the corresponding male, they can easily seek you out,β Zi Mo nodded lightly.
βThis things male partner must be in the hands of Sen Luo Templeβs Sect Master by now.β
Yang Kaiβs clear understanding of the situation caused Zi Mo to nod in admiration.
βYouβre not worried?β Zi Mo stared at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai shook his head, βIf he dares to come, Iβll make sure he never goes back.β
βYouβre as crazy as ever.β
βEnough about that. Whatβs going on with Sen Luo Temple?β Yang Kai finally couldnβt help but ask.
Yang Kai had intentionally acted ignorant before because he was worried about getting caught up in some unforeseen trouble, but now that he was already involved, naturally he wanted some more information.
Zi Mo gently breathed a sigh of relief, βSen Luo Temple is the only Super Force in Tian Lang Dynasty, but within the Temple itself there are five different factions and our Imperial Insect Faction is the smallest and weakest of those factions. Every ten years, one person from each of the five major factions will be elected to compete for the position of Sect Master. The current Sect Master is the father of that bastard Xing Bao. Meanwhile, Xing Zong, the current Sect Master is a competent leader and a strong master, but his thirst for authority and power is too strong, so with the end of his term approached, he used some means to win the support of the other four factions. However, my master was not willing to compromise and insisted on following the teachings of our ancestors. As a result, our Imperial Insect Faction was thoroughly suppressed by Xing Zong and over the past year or so weβve steadily been pushed out of Sen Luo Temple and forced to live in that mountainβs jungle.β
Yang Kai nodded lightly, now having at least a basic understanding of Sen Luo Templeβs situation.
There were only a hundred or so people in the Imperial Insect Faction, so although there was a Transcendent Realm master leading them, facing the suppression of all of Sen Luo Templeβs other factions, it was obviously impossible for them to resist, leading to their exile from the Sect.
βAlthough we have temporarily left Sen Luo Temple and have done our best to distance ourselves from the Sectβs internal disputes, they still arenβt willing to let us live in peace. Xing Bao often brings people to trouble us or apply pressure, trying to force us to compromise and submit to his fatherβs authority, but so far Master has stubbornly refused.β
βNo wonder when I first arrived you said those words to me.β Yang Kai smiled.
Zi Mo smiled faintly, βI didnβt know it was you; after all, itβs been so many years since we separated, how was I to know you were even still alive?β
Suddenly letting out a sigh, Zi Mo grumbled, βWell, the situation is like that.β
Yang Kai nodded silently. If Zi Mo had been a cultivator from the Great Han Dynasty, he could easily invite her to go to the Central Capital, but since she belonged to Tian Lang Dynasty, it wasnβt convenient for Yang Kai to interfere too much, even if Zi Mo was willing to move to the Central Capital, her master definitely would not be.
Judging from his uncompromising attitude towards Xing Zong, that old man obviously had a stubborn personality; such people were generally not willing to leave their homelands behind.
Yang Kai was unwilling to intervene in another Sectβs matters, but if they decided to find trouble with him, he would respond in kind.
At the same time, above a lush jungle fifty kilometers outside Sen Luo Temple.
A tall man with a stern face who appeared to be in his forties suddenly flew over.
Staring down at several piles of minced meat and dried blood, the stern faced manβs breath became ragged as a violent True Qi began surging from his body, turning towards a nearby mountain and roaring angrily, βLiu Yun, get out here!β
βSect Master, Iβve been waiting for you,β Zi Moβs Master appeared and calmly greeted.
βWho killed Xing Bao?β Xing Zong furiously interrogated, his aura fluctuating wildly as he was on the verge of erupting, staring at Liu Yun with an expression that seemed to say βif you canβt give me a satisfactory answer Iβll kill you where you standβ.
βIt was two cultivators from the Great Han Dynasty.β
βCultivators from the Great Han Dynasty?β Xing Zong fumed, βWhy would cultivators from the Great Han Dynasty appear here? Are you saying you colluded with outsiders to attack my son?β
βSect Master must be joking, if I wanted to act against your son, Xing Bao would have been dead many times over by now, it is only because of Sect Masterβs face that this old master tolerated his arrogance,β Liu Yun coldly snorted, clearly not afraid of Xing Zongβs threatening posture.
In response to these ruthless words, Xing Zongβs anger slightly abated, but he still refused to let the issue drop, βWhat exactly happened?β
Liu Yunβs tone also became more temperate as he narrated the course of events, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, βThis old master didnβt expect the two of them to kill so decisively, by the time I realized it was already too late.β
βWhere are they now?β Xing Zong asked, βDid you capture them already and were just waiting for me to arrive?β
Liu Yun slowly shook his head, βTheyβve fled.β
Xing Zongβs aura became dangerous once more, βWith you here, they still managed to escape? Could it be you just stood by and watched them leave?β
βYou could say that; after all, I have no enmity with them, so why would I attack them for no reason?β Liu Yun calmly retorted.
Hearing this, Xing Zongβs anger fully erupted, a thick killing intent burst forth from his body as he coldly shouted, βIf you donβt give me an explanation right now, Iβll personally exterminate your Imperial Insect Faction.β
To this naked threat, Liu Yun simply sneered, βThis old master just thought that seeking revenge for the death of oneβs child should be solved by Sect Master himself. Therefore, this old master decided to take a step back so as not to interfere in this important affair.β
Saying so, he took out a small insect and held it up, βSect Master should know what this is, correct?β
βA Tracing Insect?β Xing Zongβs eyes flashed brilliantly.
βIndeed,β Liu Yun nodded gently, βThis male Tracing Insectβs female partner has been planted on the person who killed Xing Bao. As long as Sect Master has this, it should be easy for him to track down the murderer.β
βGive it to me,β Xing Zong hastily put his hand out.
However, Liu Yun shook his head once more, βItβs not impossible for this old master to hand this Tracing Insect over to Sect Master, but I have some conditions.β
βYou dare discuss conditions with me?β Xing Zong grinned fiercely, βYou think that without that Tracing Insect I canβt find those two? Laughable, as long as theyβre still in Tian Lang Dynasty, I will find them eventually!β
βIf Sect Master knew where those two were going, you may not be so confidant,β Liu Yun sneered.
Xing Zongβs brow furrowed for a moment before he asked, βWhere did they go?β
βThe Abandoned Earth!β
Xing Zongβs expression immediately became ugly. Taking a deep breath to calm his anger, he asked, βYour conditions, letβs hear them!β
The Abandoned Earth, even if it was Xing Zong, he couldnβt guarantee that he could find one or two people inside that Forbidden Zone. The energy inside that place was far too chaotic and dangerous, without some kind of reliable guidance, it was even possible that he could lose his way and never be able to leave.
βThe Imperial Insect Faction returns to Sen Luo Temple, and the ten year tradition of electing a new Sect Master is restored according to our ancestral teachings! If Sect Master refuses, this old master will immediately crush this insect!β
βYou dare!β Xing Zong roared as he flew into a rage.
Liu Yun sneered dismissively, gathering his True Qi into his palm, calmly waiting, exhibiting a completely uncompromising stance towards Xing Zong.
After rampaging for a moment, Xing Zong grit his teeth and nodded, βGood, I swear to you, as long as I can take revenge for my sonβs murder, I will fulfill all of your conditions.β
βI hope Sect Master will honour his words!β Liu Yun said coldly. Although he did not have much faith in Xing Zong, right now this was the best he could hope for, so he decisively tossed the male Tracing Insect over.
Reaching out and grabbing the Tracing Insect, Xing Zong coldly snorted before turning and flying towards the Abandoned Earth.
Two days later, at the periphery of the Abandoned Earth, Yang Kaiβs trio came to a stop.
Looking at the barren wasteland that stretched out before them, completely devoid of all life, Yang Kai and Shui Ling were both somewhat amazed.
The aura surrounding this place was extremely odd, giving them a truly ominous feeling, no wonder it had become Tian Lang Dynastyβs most dangerous Forbidden Zone.
βWeβre here,β Zi Mo said with a tinge of panic apparent in her voice, apparently quite unwilling to go any further.
βThank you,β Yang Kai nodded lightly, over the past two days, Zi Mo had told Yang Kai everything she knew about the Abandoned Earth in the hopes that it would at least somewhat useful to him.
βDo you really want to go in?β Zi Mo stared at Yang Kai anxiously, wondering just what he was going to do in the Abandoned Earth.
βI have to.β
βThen Iβll wait here for you to come out,β Zi Mo sighed and no longer tried to dissuade him.
βNo need,β Yang Kai shook his head, βAfter we go in, Iβm afraid we wonβt see each other for a very long time; at the very least, I donβt plan on ever coming out from this place again. You should return to Sen Luo Temple.β
Zi Mo was dumbstruck.
βGo back and tell your master, if he dares plot against me again, even if he is your master, Iβll still kill him!β Yang Kai grinned fiercely, his face filled with an evil light, laughing recklessly as he led Shui Ling into the Abandoned Earth.
Zi Mo stood silently for a moment before quickly coming to her senses, shouting out, βYang Kai, be careful. Donβt you dare die.β
Yang Kai didnβt look back, just waving his hand casually as he continued forward.
Soon, both his and Shui Lingβs figure disappeared from Zi Moβs view.
Seeing him vanish, Zi Mo suddenly felt an odd sense of loss.
In truth, her friendship with Yang Kai wasnβt too deep; it was just that when she was together with him in that Isolated World, his various performances and achievements had left a deep impression on her. This time, when they reunited after all these years, the shock Yang Kai brought here was even greater.
Unknowingly, this bastard of a man had actually become an Immortal Ascension Boundary Sixth Stage master.
Perhaps because he was the most outstanding man she had ever met, Yang Kaiβs departure had made her feel a little regretful.
