Chapter 433 - Jaguar (2/2)

The imprint on its body immediately disappeared as if it was never there. The two men standing a kilometer away frowned.

”This seems… troublesome, brother Feng,” a red-haired male with short hair and a clean face said. He had an ordinary-looking body and attire, but his attitude and ability were anything but ordinary.

”Truly does seem that way, brother Yang. Unfortunately, we don't have the highness to help us this day,” the man named Feng said. Feng had long jet black hair and a thin face which was contrasted by his fat mustache.

”Guess we will have to give our all then,” the man named Yang said and flared out his cultivation base, getting ready to fight.

”I guess we do,” Fend said and flared out his cultivation base too.

Together, their cultivation base was enough to scare anyone in the entire empire. However, the Jaguar wasn't fazed at all.

The only thing on its face was a frown from not being able to go to where Alex was.

”Humans, I don't wish to harm you, so please let me go do my duty,” the Jaguar said.

”We followed you all the way from the capital, friend. We can't leave empty-handed. At the very least we need answers,” Yang said with a menacing smile on his face.

”Sigh, I guess being a pacifist really does hurt one from time to time,” Jaguar said and suddenly released its cultivation base too.

The two men frowned at first seeing the Jaguar release its cultivation base. They believed the Jaguar was getting ready to fight. However, the Jaguar didn't stop.

Its cultivation base kept on growing more and more, and the frown on the two men's faces slowly turned into fear. Soon, the fear disappeared too and it changed into despair.

Finally, the Jaguar stopped releasing its cultivation base and slowly walked towards the two men with its overwhelming aura.

”Do you still wish to stop me, humans?” it asked.

The two men started fearing for their life now. For all of their nearly thousand-year-long life, they hadn't met anyone or anything with this high of a cultivation base.

”N-no, no,” the Yang named man started blurting out on his own. The man named Feng couldn't even speak.

”Leave!” the Jaguar ordered.

”Y-Yes, senior,” Yang said and disappeared from there. Feng too disappeared within a second after Yang.

”Finally, no more disturbances,” the Jaguar said and was about to follow Alex when it realized it could no longer locate him at all.

”NO! It can't be over already,” it said. It looked back and saw the hundreds of thousands of beasts rushing back into the forest.

”I'm sure he's around somewhere ahead of me. I just need to search for him,” it said and flew further ahead searching for Alex, but no matter how hard it did, it would never locate something it hadn't seen before. It saw thousands of humans and beasts alike, but it couldn't see the target at all.

”Shit! Today was a failure too. I will have to wait another month again,” the Jaguar said.

”I hope that damned puma had more luck than me,” the Jaguar said and turned around.

Once again, it had failed. It hated the humans for stopping it on both times it could locate its target.

It lamented the fact that it could not find its target this month, but next month, it promised on its master's grave to find him for sure.

The aura of the two human cultivators that Alex had mistaken as the aura of the Jaguar had disappeared far away behind him.

He had moved too far away to feel that aura at all now.

In the next 2 minutes, the feelings he was feeling disappeared too. 'Is it okay now?' he wondered and flew towards a spot of light in the night.

It turned out to be a small village in the mountains. Alex dropped near there and took in his boat. Then he walked into the village and meshed with the people there.

He acted like he was a cultivator from far away and was only resting. He gave the villagers a few pills in exchange for letting him stay with them for a bit.

A spiritual sense came and went, and Alex was left in sweats. Thankfully the owner of that sense never came looking for him.

So, he stayed in the village for half an hour more and finally felt like it was time to leave.

”Thank you for your hospitality, senior. I will leave now,” Alex said to the village chief.

”No, no, lord Cultivator. It is our village's honor that a person such as you came here at all,” the chief said.

Alex thanked them again and walked out of the village. It was dead in the night and the sky was cloudy.

'Is it going to rain?' he wondered. He wouldn't mind a bit of rain. Rather, he wanted some.

He quickly got on the boat and started flying towards where he assumed his sister and the caravan would be by now.

He didn't have an accurate map of the land, so he could only base where he was on some crude information he had about the general area of the lands.

”So… that direction?” he guessed as he looked towards a certain direction and flew away in his boat.
