Chapter 55 The Emperor's Eldest Son (12)
boom!
The cave exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere.
Su Bai held the tracking crystal ball in one hand, a faint red light flickering within it. He looked at the empty ruins, his expression somewhat grim.
This is the third time.
He clearly sensed the location, but by the time he caught up, the other person had already left.
Behind him, in the shadows, several guards looked worried. Their young master had always had smooth sailing, and not long ago he even killed an enemy of a higher level. Now, however, he was failing repeatedly in tracking that kid. They hoped that his mindset wouldn't be affected.
"Old Zhang, do you think that emperor's son has some kind of magic weapon that allows him to predict the future? How come he can always avoid the young master at just the right moment, and even calculate the timing perfectly?"
One of them couldn't help but ask.
The old man, known as Old Zhang, stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.
"I've never heard of any magical artifact that can predict the future. It seems that the kid was quick-witted and sensed the danger in advance, so he escaped."
The other person sighed and let out a helpless sigh.
"In my opinion, there's absolutely no need for the young master to keep an eye on that kid. He's no ordinary person, and he has many magical treasures on him, making him very difficult to capture!"
The elderly man surnamed Zhang shook his head.
"It is precisely because it is difficult that it is meaningful. If the young master wants to become famous, there is really no suitable target to target except that kid. Besides, haven't you noticed that his mother and the sect leader are also supportive?"
“But, that great emperor…” the man still hesitated.
"Heh," the old man surnamed Zhang sneered, "The Emperor may not really care about that kid. Besides, the young master's father's identity has always been unclear. Perhaps there is an even greater force behind him."
The others' expressions changed, but after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that it made sense.
Tingyun Pavilion is no small force.
Neither the Pavilion Master nor his sister are fools; there must be a deeper meaning behind this. As subordinates, we should simply follow their instructions.
Over there, Su Bai had already taken to the air again, transforming into a rainbow of light and heading northwest, with the others quickly following behind.
"Yue Changqing, I don't believe you can keep running away forever!"
Several attempts to catch up with him in mid-air left him with an extremely grim expression. He frantically accelerated his flight, reaching speeds far exceeding his usual pace.
This sea area is vast, and the islands are countless.
Su Bai moved with lightning speed, passing one island after another. Along the way, he encountered many cultivators participating in the auction, but he had no time for pleasantries. With a cold expression, he hurried on his way.
"We're almost there!"
Feeling the intense energy emanating from the crystal ball in his arms, he finally beamed with joy.
Ahead lies a series of reefs hidden among the waves.
The white waves surged, and in the distance, he seemed to see a figure standing on the reef.
"Yue Changqing, you can't escape now, surrender!"
He shouted and suddenly increased his speed, like a tiger descending a mountain, and pounced directly forward.
Bang!
As the giant wave surged up, he narrowed his eyes, completely unconcerned. His claws, like hooks, surging with magical power, pierced through the giant wave and grabbed the other's shoulder with a snap.
Um?
Something doesn't feel right.
Su Bai's expression changed, and he turned the humanoid object that had been facing away from him around.
The next moment, his face turned so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.
This is not a living person.
It was clearly a puppet, and the workmanship was very rough. It had roughly human limbs, but no facial features.
"Hold!"
Even though Su Bai had been a prodigy of his sect since childhood, he couldn't help but feel a little exasperated at this moment.
Moreover, at this moment, the puppet actually opened its mouth and spoke human language.
"Hahahaha, walking the dog is so much fun, and you even have a family heirloom tracking device, wow, so interesting!"
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Su Bai couldn't help but roar to the sky, stirring up a thousand-foot-high wave.
Bang bang bang!
He delivered a series of powerful punches, smashing the puppet to pieces.
Behind him, four guards appeared, among whom an elderly man surnamed Zhang stepped forward with concern.
"Young Master, that kid is too cunning. Why don't we return to Tingyun Pavilion first and organize a team of cultivators skilled in tracking..."
"No need!"
Su Bai reached out and interrupted him, his voice almost squeezed out of his throat, with a hint of gritted teeth.
"I must continue the pursuit. I refuse to believe he can escape forever!"
All guards: ......
They wanted to try to persuade him, but Su Bai didn't care anymore. With a light tap of his toes, he soared into the air.
no way.
Only by keeping up.
The group berated Changqing mercilessly, asking how he could run so fast, leaving them to chase after him in a miserable state.
As it turned out, Changqing could run even faster than they had imagined.
For the next six months or so, they all spent their time in the pursuit.
They searched almost every island in the South China Sea, but still couldn't catch up with the guy, let alone capture him. By the end, the guards were fed up and thought that if they saw the kid, they would definitely take action at the same time and beat him up with lightning speed, regardless of whether he was the son of a great emperor or not.
"Young Master, perhaps we should stop pursuing them?"
On a barren island, several people stood there, their faces grim.
We just saw a figure, but the person was very slippery and fast, disappearing in a flash and escaping right under our noses.
Su Bai looked utterly defeated.
He never expected that, as a prodigy of Tingyun Pavilion and with the tracking magic artifact given to him by his mother, he would be unable to track down that guy whose cultivation was clearly lower than his own.
"Young Master, I have a plan."
An elderly man surnamed Zhang stepped forward.
Su Bai looked at him and said, "Speak." He was really annoyed; this kind of pursuit was completely ineffective.
An elderly man surnamed Zhang stepped forward.
"Young Master, as you probably know, the Triennial Youth Grand Competition will be held in Imperial Pass City in six months..."
Su Bai's eyes lit up.
"I'll challenge him directly! Heh, as the son of the Great Emperor, that kid can't refuse a challenge on his home turf, can he? Besides, I'm much younger than him. If he chickens out, he'll really be disgracing his father!"
The guards quickly nodded in agreement; they were genuinely exhausted from the chase.
Changqing learned of the pursuers' retreat immediately.
"Hehe, what kind of bullshit tracking artifact is that? It can't compare to the system."
He grinned, smiling happily.
The system has a full map vision cheat; no one can beat it in that respect.
"They're going to challenge you in dialect in six months, host, you can start preparing now."
"It's a reminder," Tongzi reminded him.
Changqing waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all.
"Heh, we're just waiting for him. He doesn't care about dealing with that illegitimate child. However, in six months, when all the heroes gather, it will be a good opportunity..."
He was genuinely curious to see what Yue Cangwu's expression would be at that moment.
No, Yue Cangwu should be starting to feel unwell by now.
A few days ago, Changqing heard from the system that the Grand Master of Wan Jin Lou, the Supreme Elder of Jian Zong, and the Supreme Emperor of Gan Guo had all broken through to the late stage of the Emperor Realm and had already become Emperors.
It seems they benefited from the Azure Lotus Technique.
Even if something has been modified, if it is studied by many peak-level experts of the Emperor Realm, they may still gain something from it.
Changqing remembered that the Azure Lotus Technique had a great background. It was a fragment of an ancient peerless martial arts technique, and its full name was the Creation Azure Lotus Technique. However, even though it was a fragment, it was the only martial arts technique in the world that could lead directly to the Great Emperor.
Other forces have no shortage of experts at the peak of the Emperor Realm; the reason they haven't broken through is simply because they lack the true cultivation techniques for becoming Emperors.
In the story, no one knows about this, so by the end of the story, only Yue Cangwu and his later son Su Baicheng are known. Now, Changqing's arrival has changed the landscape.
"Now things are getting much more interesting."
