Chapter 408: Chapter 377: Brilliant Use_1

“Stop pursuing! First, let’s deal with these tree spirits!” said a middle stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had rushed over.

“Damn it!”

The young Nascent Soul chose to stop reluctantly. Although the enemy only captured several insignificant minions who were fake pill stage, it was a loss of face for him to have been ambushed and lose personnel from right under his nose.

With the cooperation of the three, the tree spirits hastily conjured by magic were quickly exterminated one by one.

However, during the post-fight damage control, all three turned black in the face, as the ambush had cost them half of their minions, making the upcoming exploration of the secret realm extremely difficult.

“This guy! He deserves to die!”

The young Nascent Soul’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, causing those from the Cluster Stars Sect around him to tremble, avoiding eye contact, not daring to look directly at him.

“There’s something strange about his aura, he doesn’t feel like a Human Clan cultivator!” said a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator with white eyebrows.

“I also noticed that he has the smell of the Sea Race!” said another Nascent Soul cultivator with a hooked nose.

“This is the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, it would be difficult even for Sea Race Nascent Souls to get close, let alone know the method to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, which is known only to our three forces. Even if the Sea Race found a way in by luck, they wouldn’t dare to send a Nascent Soul cultivator in! This person must be from one of the other two forces pretending to be a Sea Race, purposely here to sabotage our good fortune!” the youth spoke in an icy tone.

The middle-aged cultivator with white eyebrows and the old man with the hooked nose looked at each other and couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

The possibility of the enemy being of the Sea Race was indeed low. Moreover, such a pointless move is quite in line with the style of the other two forces – not wanting to make enemies of them, but trying to drag them down in order to derive more benefits themselves.

Otherwise, given the number of Sea Race Golden Pill Stage cultivators, they wouldn’t need to loot their party.

“Do we know who were taken away by him?” the Nascent Soul with white eyebrows asked.

“The situation was too chaotic at the time, there wasn’t enough time to investigate!” the youth explained as he shook his head helplessly.

At that time, he had been too busy fighting. He didn’t have the time to focus on minor details, and as a high-ranking Nascent Soul True Monarch, he couldn’t be expected to remember the details of every minion.

“Let our subordinates investigate, we might get some clues!” said the elderly Nascent Soul with the hooked nose.

“Understood! Uncle Master!” the young Nascent Soul Cultivator replied respectfully.

“Is there any reaction from the locator?” the white eyebrowed Nascent Soul asked.

To prevent the minions from escaping, they had placed a locator restriction within each minion, which could provide a vague direction even if they ran millions of miles.

“Not yet!” the young man shook his head again.

“Perhaps it is being interfered with by the secret realm, let us join forces to locate them again later. If it still doesn’t work, just kill them!” said the Nascent Soul with white eyebrows indifferently.

They didn’t care about a few minions, but they definitely wouldn’t let the enemy gain an advantage.

“Agreed!”

…

“Upon doing so, even if the other party dreamed, it should not suspect me at all!” Xu Mu thought to himself.

Indeed, the one who just disguised as a member of the Sea Race and kidnapped people was none other than Xu Mu.

He had caught up with the Cluster Stars Sect’s team a long time ago, but hadn’t found a perfect opportunity to strike. This time, the opportunity wasn’t perfect, but given the current situation, he had no other choice but to act.

Fortunately, the timing wasn’t too terrible, and with the tree spirits causing chaos, that should have been enough to mislead everyone.

If they could still trace the actions back to him, then he would just blame it on his bad luck.

As for where the people were now?

Naturally, they was in the God Refining Tripod, as that was the only place he could hide them.
