Chapter 280 - The Man with Five Black Lines (1/2)
After Qin Nan left, the entirety of room number one was enclosed within an icy atmosphere, as if a glacier had suddenly appeared.
Shoosh! Shoosh!
Two piercing sound could be heard, as two powerful figures landed, who turned out to be two Martial Ancestor Realm experts.
“Young Mistress!”
One of the experts grumbled, “That guy is too disrespectful. Should we activate the Ancient Slaughtering Formation and extract his soul, and then interrogate his soul?”
The white-shirted lady waved her hand, as the icy aura emitted from her body was gradually withdrawn, “There is no need for that for the time being. How was it, any news from the Luohe Kingdom?”
“Not yet.” The other expert said in a dull tone, “For some reason, we’ve tried various ways to enter the Luohe Kingdom, but the experts of the Qinglong Sacred Area and the Feilong Sacred Area kept on intercepting us, and attacked straight away, causing us to lose twelve shadows.”
Apparently, the term ‘shadow’ was referring to those who were in charge of gathering information within the Trading Alliance.
Each shadow was a unique talent that the Trading Alliance had discovered among the public. Their presences were extremely rare, and it took lots of resources in order to train a shadow.
Losing twelve of them was no doubt an incredible loss.
The eyes of the white-shirted lady glistened, who was then immersed in lengthy thought, before she slowly said, “Let the remaining shadows fall back. We’ll leave the Luohe Kingdom aside for now. You two, go and follow Qin Nan, and take note of his whereabouts. We can’t allow him to escape our grasp again.”
“Roger!”
The two experts disappeared with a flicker.
The white-shirted lady mumbled to herself, “Qin Nan, you will never escape from my palm!”
……
……
After leaving the Qingxin Hotel, Qin Nan met up with Houzi and proceeded back to the residence.
In the midst of their journey, Qin Nan’s movements came to a stop as he said, “Houzi, you should leave first. I’ll be right behind.”
Houzi was utterly respectful toward Qin Nan now, as he obeyed the words and left the place.
“Trying to stalk me?”
Qin Nan’s eyes covertly glanced behind him.
If he were to be somewhere else, it would be extremely difficult for him to realize that he was being followed by two Martial Ancestor Realm experts. However, it was quite different in Jianghuang City, as every cultivator was not allowed to unleash their auras or their cultivation. Otherwise, they would be punished by the authorities of Jianghuang City. The same rule was applied to Martial Ancestor Realm or Martial Dominator Realm experts.
Therefore, these two Martial Ancestor Realm experts were trying to follow Qin Nan’s trail merely with their tricks and experience.
Qin Nan immediately raised his speed as his figure became immersed in a crowd, switching his position occasionally, and causing his figure to turn blurry.
The two Martial Ancestor Realm experts were shocked after seeing this.
“Did he find out that we were stalking him?”
Even without using their cultivation, their techniques alone should preventing their target from discovering their presences. Even peak Martial Emperor Realm experts would have a hard time discovering their presences, let alone Qin Nan.
“Even if you know we are following you, there’s no way you can escape our pursuit!”
The two Martial Ancestor Realm experts uttered hollow laughs as they increased their speed. Their movements were now exactly the same as Qin Nan’s, occasionally switching between left and right suddenly. Even each step was exactly the same.
It was a type of ancient technique of the Trading Alliance, known as the ‘Soul-Attaching Steps’. After prolonged practice, when executing the skill, one would imagine themselves to be the target, causing the body and the actions to synchronize with the target.
“Oh?”
Qin Nan who was leading the way became aware of this, as he slightly raised his eyebrow and immediately unleashed the Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit.
At that instant, everything within three miles was visible in his eyes, as if he were gazing down from above.
This ability of the Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit had in fact been awakened a long time ago, but it was not as practical, hence QIn Nan had never used it before—but now was the perfect time to do so.
Qin Nan inspected the landscape within three miles of him, and discovered a small alley. With a flicker, his figure vanished into it. The two Martial Ancestor Realm experts followed closely behind, but they were shocked when they arrived at the alley.
