Chapter 1769 - 1770: Soul Scattering
Ling Zhenfei felt a vague sense of worry in his heart. However, just now, Yanshan Yongji's Divine Sense had been scanning inside and outside the room. If he used Northern Spiritual Energy to probe, Ling Zhenfei would have been discovered long ago.
Therefore, using Northern Spiritual Energy wouldn't reveal his presence.
But now, Ling Zhenfei was swept by a surge of extremely powerful Northern Spiritual Energy, and even that energy paused for a moment on Ling Zhenfei, leaving him uncertain about what had transpired.
At this moment, Watanabe Goryu chuckled and said, "So, you are here."
After saying that, his figure suddenly blurred and instantly appeared at the hiding place of Ling Zhenfei's soul, throwing a punch towards it.
Ling Zhenfei was simply shocked that Watanabe Goryu could even detect the method of Soul Out of Body.
As the punch landed, the powerful Northern Spiritual Energy instantly dispersed Ling Zhenfei's soul.
At this moment, Le Kazafi, hiding in a small room by the pond, suddenly awakened, his face startled.
The scattered soul of Ling Zhenfei not only returned with his fragmented soul but also carried a faint trace of Northern Spiritual Energy.
Ling Zhenfei, of course, detected the presence of that trace of Northern Spiritual Energy, and quickly used his own energy to eliminate it.
Yet he knew that trace belonged to Watanabe Goryu, who intended to use this method to find Ling Zhenfei's hiding place.
Without a doubt, this small house was no longer safe, and he needed to leave immediately.
Although Ling Zhenfei possessed the strength of Dawen Peak, Watanabe Goryu's ability to detect the soul's presence indicated that his cultivation was certainly not low.
With Watanabe Goryu, Watanabe Kazushi, and other Iga-ryu experts combined, if they besieged Ling Zhenfei, escaping would be quite difficult.
Ling Zhenfei flew out the door, traversed the lake in mid-air, and hid within the nearby forest.
Just at that moment, he noticed a group of people rapidly pursuing him from the direction of the restaurant.
Ling Zhenfei was deeply shocked, not expecting their speed to be so fast, faster than he had imagined.
As these pursuers advanced, a signal flare quickly rose into the sky, exploding in mid-air, followed by all the lights at Watanabe Manor illuminating at once.
The entire Watanabe Manor was alarmed, indicating that the guards had made their preparations.
Unable to find Ling Zhenfei's body within the small house, those people quickly started searching the surroundings.
Ling Zhenfei was now hiding on a branch atop a tree, deeply worried primarily about Watanabe Goryu's ability to locate him.
He could sense several Divine Senses scanning over him.
But because he had taken the Concealment Pill, those Senses did not detect him.
However, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt an extremely special Divine Sense sweeping towards him, stopping instantly upon encountering him.
It paused right over Ling Zhenfei.
It was terrifying; Ling Zhenfei's hairs stood on end, as if doing something bad and caught by someone shining a spotlight on his face.
Ling Zhenfei had never imagined to be exposed so thoroughly. Who exactly was this Watanabe Goryu?
As that Sense locked onto Ling Zhenfei, he felt several waves of energy moving towards him, indicating their approach.
From a distance came the sound of dogs barking, they had even brought so many dogs to pursue them.
Ling Zhenfei was overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events, having never anticipated being discovered during his arrival.
Clearly, he had severely underestimated the danger of Watanabe Manor, compelling him to run towards the distance, leaping swiftly among the treetops like a monkey.
But energy closely followed, and dogs pursued on the ground.
Shocked, Ling Zhenfei suddenly sensed several energies encircling from afar, realizing that Nangong's group had closed in.
Recognizing that Sense persistently focused on him, he knew he couldn't escape no matter where he went.
These people were incredibly formidable; their Divine Senses were intrusive, baffled as to why Watanabe Goryu's energy could pinpoint him.
The primary step to escape was preventing Watanabe Goryu from locating him, pondering how to avoid detection.
As he ran, sweat formed on Ling Zhenfei's forehead, knowing that a solution must be found or he risked encirclement.
The pursuers behind him, and the approaching encirclement drew nearer, intensifying Ling Zhenfei's anxiety, realizing escape was impossible this way.
To block Watanabe Goryu's Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei conceived using his Soul Attack to strike the advancing Sense.
Divine Sense serves as an investigative energy imbued with the user's intent.
Ling Zhenfei had never considered attacking investigative Senses, but survival warranted any attempt.
With this insight, Ling Zhenfei unleashed his Soul Passage, directly targeting the Sense.
The Sense, barely more than a thread, exploded into countless energies scattered around under Ling Zhenfei's Soul Shock.
Ling Zhenfei was overjoyed, astonished his Soul Attack wielded such prowess.
Freed from the Sense's lock, Ling Zhenfei became like a fish released into the ocean, evading discovery with difficulty.
He swiftly altered his path, initially circling, now aiming to burst through the encircling crowd.
Ling Zhenfei's simple tactic was blending through the crowd, causing them to chance upon empty space.
Among the group ahead of him, including but without Watanabe Goryu, detecting Ling Zhenfei proved challenging.
Ling Zhenfei unleashed his soul, easily identifying incoming adversaries.
After several leaps, his soul detected the advancing individuals.
The encircling group was led by Watanabe Kazushi, whose Middle Stage Dawen Realm cultivation couldn't be underestimated.
Ling Zhenfei suddenly realized fleeing wasn't as easy as thought, promptly veering in another direction; encirclement implied all sides were occupied.
Upon moving, Ling Zhenfei saw another group, including a Dawen Realm expert.
Ling Zhenfei understood; these groups contained Dawen Realm experts all around.
Though Watanabe Manor had only Watanabe Kazushi and Watanabe Goryu as Dawen Realm masters, Iga-ryu boasted several, finding four Dawen Realm experts unsurprising.
