"So that's how it is …"
"A level-eight's control of power is truly an art …"
Hayashi River muttered softly. Although his epiphany had been interrupted, he had also gained a lot. The fact that two level-eight powerhouses could use the tracking technique in such a way was extremely shocking to others.
Hayashi River, on the other hand, gained more insight into the technique of using power …
It was true that his current strength was still very far away from Realm Eight, but as long as he knew how to use the technique, he could modify and simplify it to execute some of the embryonic forms of the technique. To Lin Chuan, it was as easy as pie.
As for the interruption of the epiphany, Hayashi River did not care at all. He had experienced this many times, and it was not the first time he had been interrupted.
"Let's go. Mr. Six Hands, let's go back now … "
As Hayashi River said this, the mental energy around him spread out like a spider web, spreading in the surrounding fog, forming a large net that enveloped the group.
Immediately, Six Hands sensed that the aura of the two level-eight powerhouses in the air had disappeared, and the oppressive feeling had disappeared without a trace.
"This method, a fake level-eight …"
Six Hands and a few of his subordinates could not help but be shocked. They were all great masters, and naturally understood that the method that Hayashi River used was somewhat similar to the barrier of a level-eight powerhouse.
Generally, those who could do this were those who had taken half a step into the realm. For example, that level-seven Sword Grandmaster from before could do this after sparring with Mossy Bone for half a month and steadily taking that half step.
"This is just a little insight I had just now. It can isolate the large-scale detection of level-eight powerhouses, but if the range is reduced to our sect, it will not be effective."
Hayashi River said truthfully.
Being able to isolate the detection of level-eight powerhouses was not something that he could do with his current strength. He still had to rely on this secret treasure of Six Hands to achieve this.
Do you think I'll believe you …
Six Hands glanced at this young Mechanic and secretly criticized him. He had fought with Hayashi River before. In that battle, if not for the secret treasure in his hand, he would have been defeated in a face-to-face confrontation with the endless methods of fighter Machinists.
This young mechanic's combat ability was comparable to a Realm Seven powerhouse. His martial talent was so high that it could scare people to death.
Six Hands would not doubt such a genius comprehending some of the mysteries of realm eight at this stage.
As for Hayashi River's claim that he had only comprehended a little, Liu Shou didn't believe him. Thinking of the various means this young mechanic had, Liu Shou would rather believe that this young man's comprehension of the Martial Path had already touched the threshold of the eighth level.
Hayashi River did not bother to explain the misunderstanding. The group quickly left and soon disappeared into the darkness.
…
Wu …
In midair, the giant flying wolf let out a low growl and became slightly restless.
On the wolf's back sat a man wearing a large grey cloak and a wolf-shaped mask. He was the Lord Wolf of Limestone Ridge.
The relationship between the Wolf Lord and the Giant Winged Wolf was like that of a family member. He immediately sensed that something was wrong with his mount. He patted the wolf's head and muttered something in a low voice that sounded like a wolf's howl.
"Roar …"
The Giant Winged Wolf howled for a while. The Wolf Lord was shocked. This beast that had accompanied him for many years actually said that it had discovered an extremely terrifying aura of a beast in Shi Haishan City.
An extremely terrifying aura of a beast!?
The Wolf Lord was shocked. He knew what the Giant Winged Wolf meant. It meant that the level of the beast in the city was at least not inferior to him.
This was an extremely shocking discovery …
One must know that his Giant Winged Wolf mount was a mutant left behind from ancient times. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any other mutant in this world.
His thoughts raced, and the power released by the Wolf Lord immediately retracted. He looked at the giant silhouette in midair and said, "There's no trace of them. Those fellows are too good at concealing themselves. I'm afraid that when you made your move, they had already escaped Shi Haishan City. Forget it. Anyway, it's your city that has suffered losses. I don't care. "
"This time, my Wolf Army is not here to cause trouble, but to help. You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to give me any rewards. "
"I, the Wolf Lord, have always been willing to help others. Seeing that the city has suffered heavy losses, you should clean up this mess …"
The Wolf Lord laughed loudly. He flapped the Giant Winged Wolf and flew out of the city. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Looking at the direction where the Giant Winged Wolf disappeared, the giant silhouette watched indifferently for a while before disappearing as well.
In an instant, Shi Haishan City regained its peace. The chaotic scene that had almost blown up the entire city disappeared in an instant. It was as if nothing had happened. It was like a nightmare.
Of course, if the eastern district of the inner city did not exist, perhaps some people would really think that it was a nightmare.
Now, looking at the eastern district of the inner city that had been destroyed, the upper echelons of Shi Haishan City felt their legs turn to jelly. How were they going to face the upper echelons of the northern region tomorrow, as well as the people and the pressure of public opinion …
At the same time.
Somewhere in Shi Haishan City, in the depths of a huge manor, between the towering trees, a white-faced, beardless old man sat upright. Energy crystals were piled up around him. The old man's body produced a suction force, crazily absorbing the energy within the energy crystals. The fluctuations emitted from his body were like giant waves.
The giant silhouette had leaped out from the old man's body, creating an almost invincible and shocking effect.
This old man was the current head of the Shi family. He was once a peerless genius of the northern region, and now one of the eight northern regions — Shi Hulie.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The aura on the old man's body continued to converge, and the raging waves gradually disappeared. Then, the energy crystal pillars around him also stopped moving, and the forest returned to its original state.
Opening his eyes, Shi Hulie looked around. He got up and walked into the courtyard in the forest. There, a pot of tea had just been boiled. He picked up the teapot and poured it into a dark green teacup.
For a moment, the refreshing fragrance of tea filled the air. The forest was suddenly filled with an ethereal atmosphere, as if it was completely isolated from the outside world.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, Shi Hulie sighed, looked into the distance, and murmured, "The guy who disappeared for so many years suddenly appeared today, wanting to snatch something from my hands. What a fool's dream."
With a sneer, Shi Hulie waved his hand, and a white silhouette flew over. It was the white-cloaked figure who had besieged the Fire Gnome Village.
"Lord Shi Hulie, you've finally come out of seclusion. As expected of you, your first move was earth-shattering. You defeated the Dark Dwarf Army like beating a dog, and even made the Limestone Wolf Lord retreat without a fight. Your great achievements … "
The white-cloaked figure opened his mouth and kept on talking. He was like a completely different person from the aloof appearance he had in front of others.
"Enough. Don't flatter me anymore. Even I feel embarrassed listening to it … "
Shi Hulie waved his hand, interrupting the white-cloaked figure's flattery. It was not that he did not like to listen to flattery.
Among the younger generation of the Shi family, the white-cloaked figure's flattery skills were second to none. That was why he was placed in such an important position, in charge of the Shi family's hidden forces.
Otherwise, with the white-cloaked figure's ability, there were at least dozens of people who were on par with him among the younger generation of the Shi family. There was no way he would be in charge of the Shi family's strongest team, which was equivalent to the top five in the family.
The reason why Shi Hulie interrupted him was because he had something important to ask. Among the forces that appeared tonight, some were within his expectations, such as the Dark Dwarf Army, the Limestone Mountain Wolf Army …
As for the others, Shi Hulie did not expect them. The two mysterious teams that appeared later had origins that he could not fathom.
"Is there any news about the guy who stole the urn of the previous Fire Gnome Village Chief …" Shi Hulie asked in a low voice.
"This … Lord Shi Hulie, there is no news yet. That person seems to have evaporated … "
The white-cloaked figure stuttered, inwardly uneasy. What he was most worried about was that Shi Hulie would ask about this matter as soon as he came out of seclusion.
The real purpose of surrounding the Fire Gnome Village was to steal the ashes of the previous Village Chief, Munthe, to confirm if he was really dead.
Now, the ashes were gone, and the person who stole the ashes was lost. How could the white-cloaked figure not panic? He was thinking about pushing all the blame onto those bastards from Limestone Mountain.
Anyway, during the siege of the Fire Gnome Village, the Limestone Mountain Wolf Army did come out and obstructed them. They were the best scapegoats.
Before the white-cloaked figure could speak, Shi Hulie waved his hand and said, "No news is news. To be able to disappear without a trace, it can only be that guy's family. I can't believe that guy really didn't die back then, hehehe … "
Seeing Shi Hulie's cold smile, the white-cloaked figure stood at the side with his hands by his side, quietly waiting for him to continue.
After talking to himself for a while, Shi Hulie frowned again. "Of the four forces tonight, I can confirm that the third is that guy's force, but what about the fourth?"
"From the signs just now, it should be that guy's enemy. The people that had the qualifications to be his enemy, apart from the few of us, could there be anyone else …" Shi Hulie muttered to himself.
After thinking for a while, Shi Hulie ordered the white-cloaked figure to mobilize all of his forces to investigate the strangers in the city.
Waving his hand to dismiss the white-cloaked figure, Shi Hulie frowned, sipping his green tea and mumbling, "These fellows could not have come earlier or later. They just had to come to my side, making progress in the [Earth King Equipment], and choosing to cause trouble during the birthday of the Northern King. Could there be some sort of conspiracy … "
After thinking for a while, Shi Hulie's eyebrows relaxed. "Who cares what conspiracy you guys have, as long as the research on the [Earth King Equipment] can make a breakthrough within this month, then even if you guys join hands and Munthe comes back to life, what can you do to me?"
"In the end, tens of years ago, I had already obtained the absolute advantage. Being one step ahead means being one step ahead. Now, as long as I get past this critical juncture, the entire Northern Lands will be under my control. Hmph hmph hmph … "
Waves of complacent laughter rang out. Shi Hulie drank the green tea in his cup in one gulp and walked towards the depths of the forest.
At the same time.
Everywhere in Shi Haishan City, hover cars were flying at high speed. There were rescue operations everywhere. In order to regain some of the reputation of the administration hall, the higher ups were putting in a lot of effort.
Somewhere in the eastern district of the inner city, a slender man with a white dog-like pet was walking towards an alley with a burly man following behind him.
In the shadows of the small alley, the white dog sniffed around, occasionally letting out affirming whines and wagging its tail at the slender man.
"Is it here? That strange beast had stayed here before … "The slender man muttered.
Behind him, the burly man was also looking around, his face filled with excitement. If Hayashi River and the others were here, they would definitely recognize him. He was the vice commander of the Wolf Army, Lang Man.
As for the slender man's identity, it was obvious …
"Leader. When the time comes, if we can really capture that strange beast, then let it be my mount. For the sake of me risking my life for Limestone Ridge for so many years … "Lang Man lowered his voice and begged.
The slender man squinted at Lang Man, his eyes filled with disdain. This guy still had the face to say that he would risk his life for Limestone Ridge? He was more like a troublemaker …
The operation this time was originally for Lang Man to investigate Shi Haishan City, but this guy unexpectedly fought with the Dark Dwarf Brave. There was still news that Shi Hulie, that old bastard, had already come out of seclusion.
If he didn't happen to be nearby, it was unknown whether Lang Man would be able to leave on his feet tonight.
This kind of incompetent guy still had the face to ask for a strange beast as a mount. If he really gave Lang Man a strange beast as a mount, who knew what kind of bigger mistakes he would make in the future.
Moreover, the slender man sneered, "You brat, do you think that strange beast mounts can be tamed so easily? With just you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to withstand a slap from that strange beast's claw. Moreover, for this kind of strange beast to appear in Shi Haishan City, I'm afraid it already has a master. "
"Tonight's Shi Haishan City is filled with a trace of strangeness. I'm afraid there are still extremely powerful experts …"
Lang Man opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the white-haired dog suddenly scream and fall to the ground. Its two hind legs were twitching, and there was a pool of liquid on the ground. Something had plotted against it and made it pee …
Seeing this, the slender man and Lang Man were shocked, and quickly ran forward to check on the white dog's condition.
