Chapter 651 - 348: Three-Way Pursuit (Part 4)

"Even if it comes to using the True Intent Soldier Embryo, our luck might not be so bad that we encounter other carriers of True Intent Soldier Embryos just like that."

"..."

The sun set in the twilight.

Inside the grand hall, Han Court and Xing Man were frowning with their eyes closed.

Suddenly, Han Court flipped his hand to take out a communication device, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It’s here."

"What did Brother Chang Lu say?" Xing Man hurriedly moved closer.

"Brother Chang Lu provided the whereabouts of a man in black, who is likely within our Seven-Star Kingdom."

"In our Seven-Star Kingdom?" Xing Man stood up immediately, "Does he think our Seven-Star Kingdom has no one to challenge him?"

"No," Han Court put away the communication device, his eyes flashing, "If I’m not mistaken, this person has come for the True Intent Soldier Embryos."

"Since Xing Rong and Xing Hong were killed by him, he must know that you and I have True Intent Soldier Embryos."

"A Qi Sea Realm dares to covet our treasures?" Xing Man became even angrier upon hearing this.

"This person is indeed from the Qi Sea Realm, but his exhibited combat power has touched the Seventh Realm, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to continuously kill Xing Hong and the two Qi Sea Realm Perfections from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s Martial Generals."

"Moreover, I suspect that this person has come to our Seven-Star Kingdom with some hidden means." Han Court’s eyes became deep.

"Brother Han is saying that this person poses a threat to us?"

"Not necessarily, the gap between the Seventh Realm and the Sixth Realm is not something that can be bridged by some means, besides, if he has hidden techniques, don’t you and I also have them?"

Han Court stepped out, speaking solemnly, "However, just in case, I think we need to plan carefully."

"I implore Brother Han to avenge Xing Hong and Xing Rong!" Xing Man bowed deeply.

"Man’er," Han Court helped Xing Man up, "you and I are essentially one, there’s no need to implore."

"My plan is straightforward, the law enforcers from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower have already tracked this person through special means, we just need to follow the enforcers."

"Wouldn’t that anger the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, making it difficult for Brother Chang Lu?"

"Don’t worry, Brother Chang Lu provided the enforcer’s information willingly, which means Brother Chang Lu can handle it."

"But afterward, we’ll have to compensate Brother Chang Lu accordingly."

"In the future, any treasure obtained from the Ghostly Sea will go to Brother Chang Lu first."

"Yes, I think so too."

Han Court embraced Xing Man, casually taking out a treasure, from which emerged two virtual shadows.

"They are the law enforcers from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower Yiyang Sub-Branch, one named Xux Guang, the other Xux Yuan."

"The information just sent by Brother Chang Lu states that they are in our Seven-Star Kingdom, within the Third Star State, hunting the man in black."

The so-called Third Star State is comparable to a county in the Qin Dynasty, with the Seven-Star Kingdom having seven major Star States under the jurisdiction of seven Star Lords.

The Third Star State happens to be the region controlled by the third strongest in the Seven-Star Kingdom, Xing Man’s brother, the Qi Sea Perfection Xing Hong, who was killed by Chu Ming.

"Let’s go."

Both stepped out of the palace, turning into streams of light, heading towards the Third Star State.

...

The Third Star State.

Chu Ming, dressed in black, was riding the Primordial Qi Shield Shuttle, when suddenly, a strange feeling crept into his heart.

"Is someone tracking me?"

He felt as if he had been locked onto by someone.

And soon, he verified that his feeling was correct.

The Sword Gourd Spirit detected two powerful auras rapidly approaching from thirty miles away.

"Two Seventh Realm Returning to the Origin Realm?"

Chu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

"Seems like they’re from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower."

"This is troublesome..."

His purpose for coming to the Seven-Star Kingdom was for the True Intent Soldier Embryo held by Xing Man, not for a confrontation.

If a confrontation were to happen, his whereabouts would be exposed, which might affect his mission.

His heart thought twitched, and the Book and Painting Realm unfolded, concealing his form and aura to the utmost.

Thirty miles away.

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower enforcer Xux Guang suddenly stopped, looking ahead with disbelief.

"Big brother, what’s wrong?" Xux Yuan asked.

"The tracking is severed."

"The Spirit Shadow Star Array is broken?" Xux Yuan was shocked.

"Yes, just now, the tracked aura suddenly vanished."

"How could this be..."

"Let’s go to the place where it vanished first."

The two transformed into streams of light, dashing into the thirty-mile range.

"There’s nothing here, not even a cloud, and no aura fluctuation. How did the one who raided the high tower disappear?"

"Normally, the Spirit Shadow Star Array locks onto aura, and no concealing technique should evade it, but this person indeed vanished just like that..."

Xux Guang furrowed his brow, scanning the surroundings.

"There’s only one explanation... the raider used some kind of space relocation treasure to escape the tracking range of the Spirit Shadow Star Array."
