Chapter 616 - 612: Tracking Everyone’s Whereabouts
Zhang Baiyu’s expression remained gentle as he nodded slightly and said, "So that’s what you think."
As his words fell, these people in front felt a brief suffocation in their breath. Just as they were about to say something, a sudden darkness covered their eyes, causing them to collapse to the ground one after another.
The surrounding prodigies were startled and all took a step back.
Zhang Baiyu spoke with a slightly teasing tone, "Why are you hiding? I just wanted to let these people see the soul heritage of my clan."
"I just didn’t expect their sea of consciousness to be so fragile. I barely touched them, how could they die so quickly?"
While saying this, he still had the same smile as before, but none of the surrounding prodigies dared to speak anymore, let alone question his decision.
Finally, a True God stood out forcibly overcoming his fear, "Since Infinite Divine Son already has plans, there’s no need to ask for our opinion, just take us there directly."
Zhang Baiyu’s smile remained gentle, "I didn’t want to hide from you. Instead of causing disputes once we arrive, it’s better to ensure there’s only one voice in the entire team from the start."
The surroundings grew quieter—indeed, only one voice remained, as those who raised doubts were all dead, leaving the others too afraid to voice any dissent.
Xiao Hai’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and finally unable to hold on, he opened his eyes, his face pale as paper.
His voice was slightly hoarse, "I don’t know if it’s because the location is too far, or he has treasure artifacts that conceal his tracks, but my cultivation is insufficient to locate him."
Zhang Baiyu furrowed his eyebrows slightly but quickly relaxed, as if pondering a countermeasure.
Previously, Su Li, who targeted Xia Feng outside the Secret Realm, rolled his eyes and offered advice to Zhang Baiyu, "The ten Divine Maidens must be following that kid. Try tracking the Divine Maidens to see if you can catch any traces."
Xiao Hai was startled, nodded, looking no less pale, yet Zhang Baiyu didn’t allow him any rest. Instead, he watched as Xiao Hai swallowed a spirit-stimulating elixir and started tracking again.
The surrounding prodigies looked at Zhang Baiyu mercilessly exploiting Xiao Hai in front of them, and their expressions grew increasingly subtle and cautious.
This was someone Zhang Baiyu himself brought out. If it were them, who knows how much torment they’d face.
This time, Xiao Hai took nearly half an hour to finally pinpoint Sun Yazhu’s direction. Strangely, when he started calculating, just like tracking Xia Feng, the smoke always twisted about without finding a proper direction.
Lately, suddenly in a fleeting moment, the smoke seemed to have found some traces and instantly pointed eastward.
However, this visual manifestation seemed to last only for a moment. Just as they vaguely identified a direction, Xiao Hai spat out a mouthful of blood and fell headlong to the ground.
Zhang Baiyu paid no attention to Xiao Hai, just casually instructed the prodigies behind him to lift the man, then glared gloomily in the eastern direction.
A prodigy, upon seeing his demeanor, grew increasingly uneasy and muttered in a low voice, "This seems different from the usual tracking scenario, could there be an error?"
Zhang Baiyu’s expression was slightly solemn but quickly returned to his usual gentleness, "It was originally just to indicate a general direction. Let’s head this way first, and once Xiao Hai wakes, we’ll continue tracking."
Seeing Zhang Baiyu’s mood wasn’t good, the person didn’t dare to speak further, murmured a few times and lowered their head silently.
On Xia Feng’s side, some sensation arose as well. Initially, when Xiao Hai tracked Xia Feng, they were gathered around the Dream Realm Pearl refining elixirs.
Later, Xiao Hai switched to tracking Sun Yazhu. Initially, her traces weren’t found until they emerged from the Dream Realm Pearl, preparing to head to the next Pill Valley location, giving Xiao Hai a momentary chance to find a trace.
However, Sun Yazhu, now possessing a First Grade True God realm, constantly wore various small tools left by the Celestial Pill Divine King, naturally detecting and cutting off the tracking immediately.
Not only this, Sun Yazhu had possessed the Purple Gold Cauldron for several years, and this ancient artifact had long become her Lifebound Divine Artifact. To make some manipulations along the tracking traces, it was truly a simple task.
It’s known that the path of alchemy isn’t just healing medicinal supplements, but also deadly poisons.
However, due to the hurried cut-off of the tracking, Sun Yazhu only had time for slight modifications and didn’t directly seize the chance to claim Xiao Hai’s life.
Still, Xiao Hai immediately spat blood and collapsed.
Xia Feng’s expression indicated some thoughtful contemplation, "I thought after seeing our methods outside, they’d be somewhat cautious upon entering."
"Only to realize upon entering the Secret Realm that the vast areas facilitated opponents; initially thinking they might avoid us, preventing easy disposal of these people, but unexpectedly, some even rush to crash into us."
Sun Yazhu’s expression also evoked contemplation, "Just wonder which side dispatched them."
Xia Feng didn’t respond but had some idea internally—the Li Qingyu’s father’s clan, the Qin Race following Celestial Sound Orthodoxy, plus miscellaneous families pursuing the Divine Maiden, probably involved these parties.
His eyes turned, instructing, "This isn’t a big deal, but since they’re in the west, I’ll try targeting western Pill Valleys next, to prevent them from sluggishly failing to capture our tracks."
Yu Siya teased with a bit of humor, "Is husband intending to have them delivered to us?"
Xia Feng laughed heartily, as those preying on him not resolved early in the Secret Realm, must be met eventually without Divine Kings’ considerations outside the realm, suppressing further conflicts.
He’s not one to endure grievances, especially since these prodigies, daring to target him, hadn’t considered respecting the Divine Maidens, thinking killing her husband would be inconsequential.
Xia Feng unleashed the Spirit Light Flying Boat, inviting the numerous women aboard, then directly flew westward.
On Zhang Baiyu’s side, once Xiao Hai awakened, he instructed further tracking of the Divine Maidens’ traces, Xia Feng focused solely on encountering them, choosing not to return to the Dream Realm Pearl, instead allowing tracking each time.
However, all the maidens adorned small tools left by their respective Divine Kings, giving Xiao Hai quite a headache, each tracking cost him some sacrifices.
Within two days, he had become ghastly as if haunted, losing excessive Essence Qi, and had become unrecognizable.
