Chapter 288 – Brushing Past (2/2)
“I will take a look.” The youth with the single horn on his forehead flew down with his huge copper pillar.
After sensing the strength of the person flying down towards them, the two toads couldn’t understand what was going on. Only those above the Fusion Soul stage were allowed to fly yet why did this person with the strength of a late Gold Core stage fly around? Could it be that the rules have really been changed in the Southern Wild Lands?
“What are you guys screaming about?” Asked the single horned youth as he floated atop his copper pillar not too far from the two toads.
After the two toads told their story in detail, the single horned youth was shocked. “Where is he right now?!”
This single horned youth was none other than Romon who had been searching all over for Lei Yu.
“We… we don’t know.” The two toads glanced at each other before responding further: “We were looking up and he had already disappeared within a blink of an eye.”
Atop of the copper pillar, Romon started screaming hysterically: “Little Yu! It’s me, Romon! Little Yu! Where are you? Quickly come out!”
Romon’s voice echoed throughout the area but there was no response. Lei Yu had disappeared right under his nose, making Romon feel like he was about to go crazy. But one cannot blame Lei Yu and only on Romon and his father. Why did they have to go all out bananas searching for Lei Yu? If there were just a few familiar people out searching instead of the massive troops of demonic cultivators, perhaps Lei Yu would have already jumped out early on. Unfortunately now, they only brushed past each other.
“Friend, are you guys looking for that person?” Asked the big toad.
“You damn bastard!” A yell came from the sky as a demonic cultivator rushed over. Based on its appearance, it should have been a lizard that had cultivated its essence. Its strength had exceeded the Nascent Soul and already reached the Fusion Soul stage.
The two toads suddenly blinked their green eyes, “Greetings to you, your lordship!” Although there were times when Fusion Soul demonic cultivators appeared around here, there were less and less frequent. Being so close to one today made those two toads feel some fear. But what they couldn’t understand was how they drew the ire of this expert.
“Why aren’t you transforming to a human form and saluting the young master?” Asked the lizard coldly.
“There’s no need, let’s return first and let my father know. If little Yu intended to hide, there’s no one in existence that’s capable of finding him.”
A sticky mucus was seen dripping down the nostrils of the two toads. Their mouths were agape as they watch countless demonic cultivators fly off behind a mere late Gold Core stage youth with a single horn on his head. “There’s always strange things going on every year yet there’s especially more this year.” Mumbled the big toad as he suddenly remembered this saying from somewhere.
If Lei Yu only knew Romon was looking for him, he would most likely appear in front of him instantly. But everything was too late. During Romon’s descent and speaking with the two toads, Lei Yu had already run off to some place a hundred kilometers away. The area where the two toads were, was already beyond the coverage of Lei Yu’s spiritual perception. Moreover, Lei Yu was so anxious to run away that he had already forgotten to release his spiritual perception. So this opportunity for a wonderful reunion had been missed by a hair’s breath.
After leaping out of the Southern Wild Lands, Lei Yu took a left at the yellow dirt region and ran towards a Westerly direction. In this area, there was no one who would dictate whether you could fly or not. But Lei Yu also felt fortunate that no one found out he had been flying in the Wild Lands.
With the golden Ares Boots on, Lei Yu’s running speed was actually faster than his flying speed. After storing his boots, Lei Yu condensed a light purple internal energy on his feet and started flying up into the air.
