Chapter 1578: Shaomang
The Purple Crystal could sense energy in a way that was impervious to all obstructions. The Xuanyuan Dune was like a massive treasure trove to Yi Yun.
”These specks of energy points are likely Chaos Ores. However, they are too scattered and weak,” Yi Yun muttered to himself.
The Purple Crystal's energy vision allowed him to see everything within hundreds of kilometers easily. He saw hundreds of points of light. It sounded quite a sizable number, but based on his past experience with absorbing Chaos Ores, he knew that each of the hundred points of light only meant dozens of kilograms to around fifty kilograms of crude ores.
Furthermore, many of the ores were buried thousands of feet deep. To excavate them from the Xuanyuan Dune's firm lands would be a tiring task.
This also explained why ore-seekers enjoyed such esteemed positions in the Xuanyuan Dune. Finding Chaos Ores while randomly digging in the Xuanyuan Dune was just too improbable.
”Oh? This is…”
While surveying the surroundings with his energy vision, Yi Yun suddenly sensed something. He was stunned to realize that there were two weak wisps of energy inside the cave abode left behind by Cang Gu. One of the energies had attracted Yi Yun's attention.
”It's them…”
Yi Yun recalled that Cang Gu had bought two girls when he first came to the Xuanyuan Dune's city. One of them was human, while the other was a Fey with cat ears.
Yi Yun had planned on releasing the two girls after his expedition in the Xuanyuan Dune was over. But now, he sensed something abnormal about one of the girls.
With a thought, Yi Yun released the two girls.
The two girls were somewhat flustered after being suddenly teleported out of the cave abode. They looked around in horror, seeking out Cang Gu immediately.
The old bastard had a perverted look when he bought them, one that had left them mentally stressed. However, Cang Gu had disappeared. Facing them was only Yi Yun.
”You… You…”
The human girl was like a frightened bunny. She was completely unsure as to what awaited her. As a girl who had been made into a slave in the Chaos Heavens where the strong preyed on the weak, her fate was simply tragic.
”Where… Where is that man?”
The human girl mustered her courage to ask the question. Back when Cang Gu purchased them, they had been implanted with contractual marks. Although she had a weak cultivation level, she could sense that the contractual mark had turned intangible.
”He has been killed by me,” said Yi Yun very calmly.
The human girl's expression turned pale, but she did not respond. It was very common for murder to happen in the Chaos Heavens; however, it also meant that her fate had been placed on a different trajectory. She only had a different owner now. Her life was still subject to Yi Yun's whims.
Yi Yun ignored the human girl and instead stared at the female Fey. She looked like a mortal of about sixteen. She had adorable and petite cat ears, as well as an intricate but furry tail.
Yi Yun's eyes were locked onto the girl's abdomen. This extremely invasive gaze made the female Fey's expression freeze up while she retreated a few steps.
”What… What do you want?” the cat girl asked suspiciously.
Yi Yun smiled. ”You appear to be very different…”
If not for the Purple Crystal and his resurgence of strength, he would have been fooled by the female Fey. Of course, this was also because Yi Yun had not paid attention to her prior to this.
The cat-eared girl's expression changed instantly. She bit down at her lips in silence.
Anyone would have believed that the female Fey was a young cat-eared girl who could not fend for herself; however, Yi Yun discovered that she was just like him in his previous weakened state. Her Fey essence had been drained, and without any energy replenishments, she was like a candle in the wind. It resulted in her weak aura.
She was still able to hide her cultivation level while having a weak aura. It easily made others think nothing of her.
This girl was indeed not very old, but she was definitely no simple weakling. Her strength was likely above Cang Gu's!
Yi Yun suspected that, if Cang Gu had brought her along with him, it was likely that he would one day succumb to her once she found an opportunity to regain her strength.
”Your Fey core's cultivation level is not what it's presently showing, right…” Yi Yun said softly through a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
This statement made the cat-eared girl's expression turn even nastier. It was already meaningless to continue disguising herself. Without a doubt, Yi Yun had seen through her.
”Shouldn't you be telling me your background?” Yi Yun pressed when he saw her remain silent. ”I do not wish to have a person with secrets around me. If I did, I wouldn't feel secure. Perhaps, you might have nefarious thoughts towards me once you regain your strength.”
Yi Yun's tone was already cold when he said the latter half of his sentence. This was the Chaos Heavens which was highly competitive and cruel. Although that environment was not only limited to the Chaos Heavens. Yi Yun would not easily trust anyone even in the Sinkhole. He was constantly wary of others.
The cat-eared girl hesitated for a moment before she said, ”I'm a maidservant from the Desolate clan…”
”Desolate clan?” Yi Yun pricked up his brows. ”You mean the Desolate Divine Depository?”
The Desolate Divine Depository was one of the four major factions stationed in the Xuanyuan Dune and was established by the Fey. Cang Gu had mentioned it previously.
”The Desolate Divine Depository is only one of the mining entities of the Desolate clan. The Desolate clan is a lot more massive…”
”No matter how massive a faction is, it's impossible for them to make you a maidservant, right?” Yi Yun guessed that her cultivation level was equivalent to a human's Divine Lord cultivation level. This also meant that she was a Fey Lord!
