Chapter 2296: Chapter 2296: Tracking!

Yu Ruo, transformed into a Qilin, said solemnly:

"The Qilin Essence can only be sensed by the Qilin Avatar, and it won’t be blocked by any magic artifact that conceals auras."

"Since Senior Zhou hasn’t found the Qilin Essence, there is only one possibility."

"The Qilin Essence has long dissipated."

Upon hearing this, the Mysterious Man’s face turned very unsightly.

He naturally knew that Yu Ruo was right.

However, he couldn’t accept it.

He had schemed for hundreds of years and finally reached this step, only to find it was all in vain.

In fact, Zhou Yu’s face didn’t look very good either.

The Qilin Essence could help him break through the Integration Realm smoothly and was crucial to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened.

Unexpectedly, after so much commotion, there was no gain in the end.

Zhou Yu was still somewhat unwilling.

Immediately, he moved around, starting to explore Wind Kirin Cave thoroughly.

However, even with the assistance of the Eye of Destruction, Zhou Yu circled the Wind Kirin Cave twice without any findings.

Finally, Zhou Yu had no choice but to accept this fact and returned to his original spot.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, both the Mysterious Man and Yu Ruo fell silent.

How could they not see the unwillingness on Zhou Yu’s face?

After a long while, the Mysterious Man took a deep breath and said:

"Enough."

"Since this Qilin Essence is not destined for me, I won’t force it."

"After all, my Golden Flood Dragon clan has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years; I can afford to wait."

"However..."

Saying this, the Mysterious Man’s gaze suddenly shifted to the Qilin shadow formed by Yu Ruo.

"If I’m not mistaken, you are from the Wood Silver Clan."

"People from the Wood Silver Clan don’t have a lifespan as long as my Golden Flood Dragon clan."

"You only have a lifespan of a few thousand years, and once it’s exhausted, you and your Qilin Avatar will fall into reincarnation."

"Why not hand over your Qilin Avatar to me!"

"We will both benefit from it together."

The Mysterious Man’s attention immediately turned to Yu Ruo.

After all, being of the same Qilin Avatar, devouring the other would magnify one’s own strength.

For those possessing entities, it is the quickest way to enhance power.

Just like the previous Servant Beast.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruo’s expression changed.

She coldly stared at the Mysterious Man.

"You have quite the plan."

"Do you think I will believe your deceitful words?"

The Mysterious Man sneered and said:

"Do you think you have any other choice?"

Yu Ruo responded coldly:

"Why?"

"Do you intend to take action against me and Senior Zhou again?"

Yu Ruo immediately involved Zhou Yu.

Upon hearing this, the Mysterious Man looked at Zhou Yu.

"Daoist Zhou, the matter is settled now. If you can leave here without intervening, I will surely give generous thanks."

Responding to this, Zhou Yu said mildly:

"I still have some unfinished business with Daoist Yu Ruo."

"You don’t need to attempt anything involving Daoist Yu Ruo."

"Now, I can allow you to leave on your own."

Upon these words, the Mysterious Man’s face surged with evil qi, and his eyes shot forth murderous intent.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu sneered coldly.

In the next instant, thunder light surged in his palm.

"Why?"

"Refusing a toast, opting for punishment?"

The Mysterious Man certainly wished he could tear Zhou Yu into pieces.

However, they had already competed in the town before.

He had lost.

Though he hadn’t used his full strength back then.

However, Zhou Yu clearly hadn’t used his full strength either.

Moreover, Zhou Yu was capable of killing that Servant Beast.

His strength must be above his own.

He had no confidence in dealing with Zhou Yu.

Upon this thought, the evil qi surrounding him gradually dissipated.

"Fine."

The Mysterious Man said angrily.

Then, his form flashed and transformed into a gray light, instantly shooting away, leaving the Wind Kirin Cave, and disappearing into the passage.

With the departure of the Mysterious Man, Yu Ruo beside him immediately let out a sigh of relief.

She quickly looked at Zhou Yu and said respectfully:

"Thank you, Senior Zhou, for resolving the dilemma for this young lady."

Zhou Yu said indifferently:

"I don’t like being used as a weapon."

"This time, considering the correction of a cloak, I’ll let it slide."

"If it happens again, I won’t be lenient."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruo quickly said:

"Rest assured, Senior Zhou, this young lady will definitely repair the cloak to its best state."

"I will not let the senior down."

"Furthermore, to thank the senior for the lifesaving grace, this young lady will send a grand gift after returning."

"Guaranteed to be useful to the senior."

Admittedly, Yu Ruo was truly adept at handling the situation.

Her words greatly dispelled the anger in Zhou Yu’s heart.

Zhou Yu’s expression softened considerably.

"Good."

"Let’s leave."

Then, the two promptly flew away from Wind Kirin Cave.

The Wind Kirin Cave, which had just seen an earth-shattering battle, fell into silence completely.

About half a day later.

Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo returned to the place where they had parted with Yue Shan.

Yu Ruo immediately started searching for Yue Shan’s figure.

However, she couldn’t find him no matter how hard she looked.

Finally, her expression became solemn, and she took out a magic artifact, beginning to cast a spell.

Moments later, Yu Ruo put away the magic artifact and came to Zhou Yu.

"Senior Zhou, Daoist Yue might have... encountered trouble."

Zhou Yu’s expression remained placid.

Actually, he had already sensed the residual aura of Yue Shan upon arriving here.

He guessed that Yue Shan might have met with mishap.

However, Zhou Yu felt no ripple in his heart regarding such matters.

All of it was Yue Shan’s own choice; no one forced him.

Therefore, he should be able to accept any result.

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"Then let’s return the way we came."

"Alright, this young lady listens to Senior Zhou."

Then, the two once again ascended and flew along the path they came, escaping swiftly.

However, what Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo didn’t know was that on their return route, a large group of Demon Beasts were approaching.

Leading this troop of Demon Beasts was another confidant of the Red-eyed Tai Sui.

This Demon Beast, covered in silver branches, had a ferocious face.

Belonging to the Silver Crane Clan, it was called Wu Sheng.

At this moment, this Silver Crane Clan Demon Beast was holding a magic artifact, constantly sensing.

This magic artifact was bestowed upon him by the Red-eyed Tai Sui.

According to the Red-eyed Tai Sui’s order.

It was to find a member of the Human Race.

This Human Race member not only killed his son but also killed his other subordinate, Jiucheng.

Currently, Wu Sheng was ordered to hunt down that Human Race member.

Relying on this magic artifact bestowed by the Red-eyed Tai Sui, Wu Sheng led a large group of Demon Beasts in relentless pursuit.

However, the speed wasn’t very fast.

Wu Sheng actually felt quite reluctant in his heart.

After all, his strength was similar to Jiucheng.

Even Jiucheng had fallen at the hands of the opponent.

If it were him, he probably wouldn’t escape either.

But, helplessly, he dared not defy the orders of the Red-eyed Tai Sui.

So, he could only pursue relentlessly...
