C98 living vine (2/2)
When the Ah Yue heard Li Ye's words, he was still a little afraid. When he was entangled by the vines just now, he did not feel it at all, and if not for the fact that his body was taken away, he would not have realized it.
After carefully taking care of the traces on the ground, the three of them left the area. The reason they took care of these traces was because they did not want anyone passing by to discover any traces of battle, so as to not expose their movements.
But three days later, even though Li Ye was doing something to the ground, he was still discovered.
In the middle of the huge, dense forest, a group of man in white s with profound colored hooks passed by a pile of rocks. One of them kicked the rocks with his toes, and following that, he broke off and fell out.
”Hey!” ”This is the Stone Vine Beast's stone foot! Someone has fought here before!” The man immediately squatted down and checked the stone leg that fell from the ground, ”Look at the smooth and cut marks, the opponent used a sword, although the Star Seizer Pavilion has people who use swords, but I think it is more likely that the people who passed by are people from the Sword Pool, since all the disciples from the Sword Pool use swords, and their attainment is higher, to be able to cut out such smooth scars, it is most likely that they are people from the Sword Pool!”
The analysis of the person who squatted down was very clear. The Star Seizer Pavilion he mentioned was the same as their Upper Profound Sect; they were one of the top three powers in the Soul Beast Continent. And now that the Tomb Realm had not even officially opened, the only powers that could enter in advance were the three of them, so after he analyzed it, he believed that the people from the Sword Pool had passed by here.
There were around thirty people in their group, which was a clear difference from the rest of the powers in Soul Beast Continent. In the rules that was agreed upon between the powers, other than the three great powers, the number of people that could enter Tomb Realm could not exceed ten, and Soul Emperor Realm people could not enter either. As for the three great forces, although they also followed the rules of not entering the Tomb Realm as Soul Emperor Warriors, their numbers had relaxed by a lot, reaching thirty people.
This time, when the Upper Profound Sect spread the news that the Soul Sovereign had fallen, the three great forces had all sent thirty outstanding disciples into the Tomb Realm.
The group of thirty people from Upper Profound Sect was led by the second disciple of the Upper Profound Sect. This time, they were carrying the important person who had brought back the treasure left behind from the Soul Sovereign.
And among the twenty-nine people behind him, each one of them had at least Soul Master Stage, and a few of them had even reached Yellow-ranked Soul King Stage. This time, the disciples that came out of the Upper Profound Sect were all experts, and had formed this powerful battle group.
”I don't think it's done by the people from the Sword Pool, and it shouldn't be done by the people from the Star Seizer Pavilion. There are no obvious footprints here, do you think that if all thirty of them move together, there will be no footprints at all?” The young man at the front turned to look at the disciple who had found the corpse of the Stone Vine Beast, and he also analyzed the situation.
The leader of the Second Senior Brother was a handsome young man named Bai Wuxie. He was upright and had a trace of Evil Qi on his face, with a strand of silver hair on his forehead, which made him stand out amidst his black hair. He knew from the footsteps of his group that the Stone Vine Beast in front of him was not the work of the Sword Pool or his disciples. When their Upper Profound Sect was moving, if thirty people were to travel together, no matter how they tried to conceal their footsteps, they would leave some footprints behind.
”Search around and see if you can find any useful clues. I suspect that the three forces aren't the only ones who have entered the Tomb Realm in advance!” Bai Wuxie ordered the twenty-nine disciples of the Upper Profound Sect behind him, his expression congealed. If he really guessed correctly, the fact that the Soul Beast Continent had other powers that could open the Tomb Realm ahead of time would be an extremely important matter. The three forces did not wish to see anyone behind them going beyond their control happening.
The Graveyard of Realms was connected to the Immortal Demon War a thousand years ago. The three great powers definitely wouldn't allow anyone to open the Graveyard of Realms before they did.
”I found it, Second Senior Brother. There is a child's footprint here!” Suddenly, a Upper Profound Sect disciple's shout of surprise came from the southeast direction.
Hearing that, Bai Wuxie's figure flashed, and ran towards the southeast direction. A moment later, he stood beneath a tree. There was a patch of soft soil beside the tree trunk, upon which was a footprint that was clearly only an inch long. It seemed to have been left by a child.
”Child? Which power did they actually come from? ” Bai Wuxie frowned, he tried his best to recall this memory, but he did not manage to recall anything related to a young child with extraordinary cultivation.
In his view, to be able to enter the Tomb Realm meant that if it was a powerful force, they would at least be experts in Soul Master Stage similar to their Upper Profound Sect s. However, not to mention seeing a child in Soul Master Stage, they had never even heard of him before.
Bai Wuxie became more and more curious, and looked towards the southeast direction, then towards the Upper Profound Sect disciples that had gathered behind him and shouted: ”The southeast direction, chase!”
With the order given, the thirty men drove towards the southeast in a formidable array.
Far to the southeast, Li Ye and the other two were walking amongst a large group of trees that covered the sky. It had been four days since he arrived here. One more day and the Tomb Realm would officially open, and people from other forces would be able to enter. At that time, he might even encounter a lot of cultivators.
In the past four days, Li Ye and the other two did not meet any cultivators, but they did meet many Stone Vine Beasts, but after they experienced it for the first time, they were able to deal with them easily and did not need much effort.
Amongst the huge trees, Li Ye jumped, his body jumping up to the tall branches, immediately looking around on the branches, only to suddenly realise that there were a few black dots flashing behind him, startled him, he looked over again, this time using his Divine Sense to check behind.
