Chapter 2334 - The Western Mausoleum? The Mysterious Gray-Robed Elder! (1/2)

Wang Chong’s heart tightened. Putting down the tea cup, he stood up.

He was immensely shocked. From the moment this gray-robed elder appeared, Wang Chong had been completely focused on him, not letting down his guard in the slightest. That he had failed to realize when the gray-robed elder appeared could be put down to carelessness. But even though he was prepared now, that seemingly weak gray-robed elder had vanished right before his eyes. This was simply unbelievable.

Not even someone in the Grotto Heaven realm was capable of this.

Perhaps this gray-robed elder had used some special technique.

“Over there!”

Wang Chong’s eyes flashed as he quickly tracked him down. Several thousand feet away from him, he spotted an extremely faint figure flitting past a roof eave.

Even though it had only been for the briefest of moments, so brief that it almost seemed like an illusion, Wang Chong was certain that this was the mysterious elder.

That elder arrived and departed without a trace, and Wang Chong still had no idea who he was. But this was the only person who had appeared after he had brewed the tea leaves the Origin Immortal Lord had left him, the only person he had seen for hours.

This person also had a completely different taste for tea than anyone else, so he was the most suspicious person, the only clue Wang Chong had.

Whoosh!

Waving his sleeve, Wang Chong took the tea and the tea leaves into the halo divine tool and left the roof in pursuit of the elder.

A few moments later, Wang Chong grimaced.

“So fast!”

He had believed that he could easily catch up, but it turned out that the elder was constantly changing positions. Even with Wang Chong’s speed, he had almost lost him. Every time, he was just barely keeping up to that blurry figure.

It would be understandable if this was an expert on Heaven’s level, but Wang Chong couldn’t sense any powerful pulses of energy from him.

There was someone in the capital that he couldn’t keep up with? This matter was getting stranger and stranger.

His constant shifting around made it seem like he had no specific destination. Vermillion Bird Street, Stone Dragon Street, Green Moss Street… Wang Chong followed him through more than half of the capital.

The gray-robed elder didn’t linger on the street. At times, he would blink away, and Wang Chong would spot him on a roof, or perhaps on a large, flourishing scholar tree, or perhaps within a mansion used by a rich merchant, quietly staring at the calm lake in the garden and seemingly lost in thought.

“Just what is he up to?”

Wang Chong grew more and more suspicious. This man’s movements were growing increasingly bizarre.

If this man hadn’t come for the tea, Wang Chong would have never paid any attention to these places within the vast capital.

But regardless of the place, the elder never lingered for long. Not long after Wang Chong caught up, the gray-robed elder would disappear.

Buzz!

As Wang Chong was thinking, the gray-robed elder disappeared again, but this time was different. This time, he vanished completely, disappearing without a trace like a bubble popping out of existence.

“Not good!”

Wang Chong was aghast. He immediately jumped out from the shadows, unleashing his Psychic Energy without any attempt to conceal himself.

But there was nothing around him.

He spread out his sense for tens of thousands of feet, but he could not sense any trace of the elder.

“How could it be like this?”

Wang Chong jumped high into the sky, hoping to find something from a higher vantage point.

The darkness was tinged with a chill, and the capital was still and quiet. He could see all of the buildings spread out before him, but there was no sign of the elder on the streets, roofs, or residences.

It was like he had truly disappeared!

Wang Chong began to panic.

If the gray-robed elder disappeared, the last thread the Origin Immortal Lord had left him would be cut.

Bang!

Wang Chong used the power of spacetime, spreading out Halos of Spacetime from his body. Wang Chong utilized every power available to him to track down the elder.

“True World!

“Stone of Destiny, activate the highest privilege, the Archon of Destiny!”

With winds howling around him, Wang Chong floated high in the sky and took in the entire world.

A few moments later, through the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong finally found a trace of the gray-robed elder.

“Over there!”

At the edge of the Great Tang Imperial Palace, Wang Chong caught a sliver of his aura, a very faint gray sliver of energy. It had quickly vanished, but Wang Chong was certain that it belonged to the gray-robed elder.

However, Wang Chong soon frowned.
