Chapter 783 - Wanna Fight Me?! (2/2)

As if there was a layer of mist, he could not conduct any more successful readings. Every time he tried, he would just get a mess of results, his jade stones scattering messily without a sure answer.

Yi Cong had once experienced this before. It was a terrible memory and every time he recalled it, he felt as if a pair of hands were stopping him from stepping forward. In layman terms, he was at a bottleneck.

There had been Yi family members with this problem too. If they could not break through this bottleneck and remained, then they might stop improving forever. The Yi family would then give up on grooming these people.

Although Yi Cong had this problem, he was a rare genius in his family so the Yi family did not give up on him. They kept looking for ways to help him breakthrough but none worked. This time, Yi Cong told his family that he must embark on this long, arduous journey in hopes of using this experience to breakthrough.

This is happening again!

Yi Cong picked up the jade in the tray and rolled it in his palm, deep in thought. He turned to Yi Qi, “Uncle, are you able to track the other person?”

“Are you questioning my abilities?” Anger flashed Yi Qi’s eyes. Yi Cong could not track him because he was not skilled enough- Yi Qi ranked top ten in the entire Yi family, how could he face the same problem?!

Ignoring Yi Qi’s anger, Yi Cong insisted, “Please conduct another reading.”

“Alright! I will!”

Suppressing his anger, he grabbed the jades and began.

However, more and more sweat droplets started to sprout from his forehead. The hand holding the jades started to tremble as if he was about to drop them.

Yi Cong’s face twitched as he watched on, finally shutting his eyes. He knew the answer.

Poof!

The golden sand in the tray flew into a mess.

Yi Qi was ghastly pale, pinching a jade hard with his eyes locked on the remaining sand as if in disbelief of the results.

“How is that possible? Why?!” His lips trembled, “Not only am I not able to track them, the block I placed just now failed!”

The group was dead silent. Mu Yao and Gongjia Yue looked at him in shock, wondering if they had made a mistake.

What?!

Yi Qi couldn’t track the other person?! Even blocking them didn’t work?! So the other person can continue tracking them then?!

“Who on earth is skilled enough to do this? Even you both can’t stop them!” Mu Yao could not think of anyone. Was it another Yi family member?

“I’ve guessed the answer,” said Yi Cong slowly. He was calmer than the rest.

The Yi family rarely used the word ‘guess’ because that meant they had no confidence in their own skills. They only said that when readings failed. But Yi Cong was being so calm while using the word ‘guess’!

“It’s that Flaming Horn, Shao Xuan!”

“Impossible!” Yi Qi cut him off. “That was a Yi family’s divination method, I was able to sense it. While I don’t know specifically what method they used, it was definitely a Yi family technique!”

“Although I don’t know why this person possesses such a skill, I still think the person currently tracking us through Yi family divination techniques is Flaming Horn’s Shao Xuan!”

Years ago when they were chasing after Flaming Horn’s migratory party, Yi Cong had suspected that the Flaming Horns had fortune-telling abilities. He did not think it was a Yi technique, guessing it might be another tribe’s fortune-telling methods as the Yi family was not the only fortune teller in the world. However, the Yi family was still the best in divination!

Right now, since the expert Yi Qi said it was a Yi family technique, and Yi Cong felt the same as the incident years ago, that meant that the Flaming Horns likely used a Yi family technique during their migration! Unfortunately, they were unable to tell specifically which method he used.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Yi Qi was still muttering the same thing in loops. He refused to believe that a tribesman that did not belong to the Yi family would have a skill like this. This was a slap to their faces.

If Yi Cong knew what Yi Qi thought, he would have said the slap had come a long time ago in King City, just that no one noticed it.

“We’re leaving then!” shouted Mu Yao, getting up in an instant. If this person could track them, then they must hurry to first find the star butterfly larvae and extract its blood!

At this moment, within the forest far away from Mu Yao’s team.

Shao Xuan stared at his rope. This reading had not been smooth, as if someone was tugging and refused to let him form a knot. But he still successfully completed them in the end.

Calling Chacha, who was pecking at a snake, over, he said, “Don’t play with your food, hurry up and eat. We’ll leave soon, they already know that we’re following them.”

“I hope they don’t try anything,” said Shao Xuan, staring off into the distance.

He now knew what worm they were searching for. This worm lived in a very unique habitat which was right within the giant mountain eagle’s territory.

Places with many fearsome beasts would have a strangely balanced ecosystem. If that balance was broken, would these people be eaten by the eagles? Or by something else?

He could only think of one answer.
