Chapter 639: The Tracker (1600+ Added)

After leaving Dongmen Valley, Aaron said nothing, steered his Magic Tool, and flew off in a random direction.

After flying for another distance, he frowned and stopped in mid-air.

Then, flipping his palm, several Fire Feather Arrow Talismans appeared in his hand and were struck toward a spot behind him.

Chirp! Chirp!

Countless Fire Feather Arrows emitted cries like hawks and falcons, exploding in an area behind him like a localized bombardment.

Following that, a cyan round shield appeared.

A strange Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator walked out while holding up the round shield, his gaze gloomy: "How did you discover me?"

Pfft! Pfft!

Then, a streak of white Light flashed and vanished!

It was an even smaller flying knife, which, in total silence, severed the opponent's hideous ghost head!

However, this Disguise supernatural ability of Li Ruyu truly surprised him.

"Heh heh!"

One ghost after another appeared, though they were very sparse.

The cultivator with the strange face wiped his cheek: "Since you want to die, this old man will let you die with more clarity..."

Aaron's expression remained unchanged.

'Of course, it was by relying on my powerful Divine Sense...'

Woo! Woo!

This person was none other than the Li Family Foundation Establishment cultivator—Li Ruyu!

Within the Ghost Mist, Li Ruyu suddenly made up his mind, wiped his face, and changed into yet another face.

Aaron muttered to himself, but looked at this person: "Why follow me? No... how did you follow me?"

That Qi Refining cultivator sneered: "You hid in the Li Family for many years, always drifting along, but I never expected you to be hidden so deeply... You have made consecutive moves at the Auction House, having spent nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones, right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Aaron's heart tightened; this method of tracking truly made him covet it.

Seeing the opponent about to run, Aaron naturally would not let him go, raising his hand to strike out the Thousand Evil Banner.

If not for Li Ruyu exposing himself, Aaron might not have discovered him.

The huge, green-faced, fanged head fell from mid-air, suddenly opened its bloody maw, and spat out a Yin Fire Bead!

Unexpectedly, Li Ruyu was experienced in combat and had long been prepared, opening a large cyan umbrella; even as the Yin Fire Bead exploded on the surface of the umbrella, he remained unmoved.

The person opposite, although his Dharma Power aura had not changed, his Dharma Power intensity was growing terrifyingly!

It broke through the Foundation Establishment stage all the way to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage level!

"You... you are actually a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivator?"

Almost the instant he finished his defense, a Foundation Establishment ghost suddenly reached out a Ghost Claw from the void, grabbing toward Li Ruyu.

The only Foundation Establishment ghost that had its claw severed had to let out a strange cry under Aaron's command and continue to pounce.

"Fellow Daoist, do you really want to fight to the death?"

"No matter what you say, I spent one thousand Spirit Stones just to disguise myself and leave the valley; today, you will undoubtedly die."

Li Ruyu's expression remained unchanged.

He had already guessed how Li Ruyu left the valley; after all, there were always Qi Refining exit quotas for sale in the valley.

Thinking of this, Li Ruyu's expression turned cold.

"Huang San!"

"Hmm?"

The previous Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator not only had a completely different Dharma Power and Divine Sense aura from the Li Ruyu that Aaron had seen, but there was also not a single flaw.

He felt he was wronged!

Who could have imagined that a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage expert could lower his status and act subserviently for so long in a family that only had Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivators!

Isn't this a trap?

He had indeed taken a fancy to Huang San's massive wealth; after all, it was nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones, and combined with family wealth, it was enough to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill!

As for why a Qi Refining cultivator would have so much wealth?

There are many fortuitous encounters in the Immortal Cultivation World, and such things happen occasionally; it is not too rare, after all, Huang San was at least at Great Perfection.

The next moment!

A terrifying Dharma Power erupted from his body, directly breaking through the Qi Refining level and entering the Foundation Establishment realm!

Even his facial features began to change, becoming wrinkled and decrepit.

Bang!

The Top-tier Magical Tool flying knife had been refined to be psychic and automatically jumped up to sever this ghost hand; it was actually protecting its master automatically!

"Top-tier Magical Tool?"

Li Ruyu's expression was ferocious as his hands formed seals: "Three Talents Blade Formation, kill!"

Anyone who dares to plot against him must die!

Aaron's eyes narrowed slightly.

As long as one disguises well enough, using Disguise to become a certain Qi Refining cultivator and muddling through is not too difficult.

"Haha... I would like to say the same to you, Fellow Daoist; I am also very envious of your supernatural abilities."

Several more white jade flying knives rushed out, forming a Three Talents Array to trap the Foundation Establishment ghost.

Aaron laughed heartily.

To him, whether the person opposite was Li Ruyu, a Demonic Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a stranger, it made no difference, nor did he care...

Buzz, buzz!

"This fellow Daoist... actually... this old man is also of the Demonic Dao lineage, likewise hailing from Wu Country..."

You can't play like that!

Li Ruyu frowned, and immediately, his Divine Sense felt a jolt of terror.

This Li Ruyu's strength and Magic Tool... seemed somewhat mismatched with the previous poverty of the Li Family!

However, to him, this was merely a matter of expending a few more methods.

"Ah... a Foundation Establishment Elder?"

Streaks of Ghost Mist emerged, shrouding a radius of several dozen miles, blocking even the Divine Sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"You... are you a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Black Blood Sect?"

"It seems you were tempted by greed and followed me all the way... No, you know my name is Huang San... Are you from the Li Family? How were you able to leave the valley? Why were you able to follow me?"

"Hehe... that is not the case. I was merely strolling through the Auction House and happened to discover the trail of Guest Elder Huang... It just so happens that the spiritual insect I raise is skilled at identifying people by scent, and I naturally had the insect memorize Guest Elder Huang's scent long ago... What exactly is your intention in sneaking into my Li Family?"

Li Ruyu spoke with a stern and severe tone.

"Good fellow... the methods of the Immortal Cultivation World are truly numerous; one will fall into a trap if not careful." Aaron sighed inwardly, then said aloud: "I entered the Li Family merely to seek a place to cultivate; I harbor no malice toward the Li Family... On the contrary, it is you, Senior, who followed me out, which is the act with ill intent, is it not?"

Li Ruyu was just looking for an opportunity to blast open the Ghost Mist and flee when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Go!"

Li Ruyu screamed repeatedly, sacrificing several white jade flying knives in one breath to protect his body.

Li Ruyu let out a miserable shriek and turned to run.

If Aaron had thrown out one hundred thousand Spirit Stones in one go earlier, he would not have dared to continue harboring designs.

"They are merely a few Incense-Scent Insects... they count for nothing."

Although this 'Thousand Evil Banner' had been in Aaron's hands for only a few years and these ghosts had not been starved for long, many had been burned to death by the Black Sun Demon Fire previously, and it had already suffered a great loss of Essence Qi!

In reality, it only has a slight effect for trapping people and bluffing.

Aaron's expression changed drastically, his legs going weak: "Has Senior been tracking me this whole time?"

A giant bronze tripod appeared above his head at some unknown moment, descending like Mount Tai pressing down.

Bang, bang!

The white jade flying knives struck the giant bronze tripod, yet they could only make it emit a crisp sound and spark profusely, unable to shake it in the slightest; it was clearly also a Top-tier Magical Tool!
