Chapter 1088: Chapter 1013: Suspicion
"Where is he!"
"How did he vanish into thin air?"
The eyes of the several dozen Great Abilities present were filled with rage and astonishment. If they had been slightly negligent before the mine tunnel, allowing him to seize the opportunity to escape,
then in this narrow cave, the distance between each other was merely thirty feet!
Moreover, all of them had released a portion of their Divine Sense to lock down on the Fine Gold Ore Mother, forming a natural-like prohibition around it to prevent the Ore Mother, which had developed Spiritual Intelligence, from continuing its escape.
Yet they not only failed to perceive how the mysterious figure had silently broken the prohibition and appeared, but they also couldn’t prevent him from taking the Ore Mother and leaving with ease.
"This person is definitely not an Immortal Tao cultivator!"
A Human Immortal of great ability solemnly said, "You all know in your hearts, the aura he exuded is vastly different from that of cultivators."
They could not bear the blame for him and take the brunt of the anger from other faction’s Great Abilities. After drawing clear boundaries, all Immortal Tao Great Abilities began to group together, guarding against the other three major factions.
In such close proximity, they indeed discerned that the mysterious figure was not a cultivator. The Demonic Tao originally intended to muddy the waters, attributing the ownership of the Ore Mother to the Immortal Tao.
When the time comes, not to mention that Great Abilities from other factions would covet it, but even within the Immortal Tao, divisions would arise, filled with distrust towards each other, providing them the opportunity to exploit any vulnerability.
But seeing the reaction of the Immortal Tao, this plan likely wouldn’t succeed.
"What exactly is the origin of that mysterious person?"
All the Great Abilities present fell into deep thought, and regardless of their use of tracking Secret Techniques or Heavenly Calculation Deduction, they couldn’t find his whereabouts, as if he didn’t exist in the world at all.
"Hmph!"
A Demon Cultivator with substantial power glanced at Li Zhirui not far away, snorted coldly, and casually shot a streak of black light at him, "Almost forgot to deal with you, this ant!"
And those dozen or so Immortal Tao Great Abilities not far away had no intention of helping him, they did not even glance in this direction.
But the next moment, Li Zhirui vanished into thin air!
"Hmm?"
This scene caught the attention of all Great Abilities.
"The Immortal Tao truly hides dragons and crouching tigers; a mere Lianxu Cultivator actually possesses the skill to escape from my hands." The Demon Cultivator forcefully suppressed the annoyance in his heart, secretly employing various methods to search for his whereabouts.
But the result was the same as with the mysterious person, without a clue!
The Immortal Tao, which had initially been cleared of suspicion, was once again subject to suspicion due to the appearance of Li Zhirui.
After all, the manner of both their disappearances and the completely untraceable traces were nearly identical; who knows if that mysterious person was secretly cultivated by the Immortal Tao?!
Although the Immortal Tao does not have as old a legacy as the Devil Race or the Sea Clan, its foundation is equally profound and unfathomable.
What’s most important is that ever since the rise of the Immortal Tao, luck has not seen significant fluctuations. Over the long river of time, the Immortal Tao has birthed countless brilliant geniuses who dominated an era.
And this point is something that the other three major factions could not possibly compare to.
"Damn it!"
Seeing other Great Abilities with suspicious eyes, the countenances of a few Immortal Tao Great Abilities instantly darkened.
Does the Immortal Tao possess such Escape Skills? They, being the higher-ups of the Immortal Tao, naturally knew the answer.
But the problem is, to employ an Escape Skill, one must at least be at the Realm of Human Immortality to easily tear through space and flee.
That mere Lianxu Cultivator did not have the qualifications to employ such Divine Powers.
As for the mysterious person, that is even more so the case; the aura emanating from his body was significantly different from that of cultivators, not to mention those of the Immortal Realm with successful cultivation like themselves. Even those who have just started their Qi Cultivation could discern the difference between the two.
Immortal Tao, Demonic Tao, Devil Race, and Sea Clan; the aura of the four major factions each had its characteristics—cleanly for Immortals, Yin Evil for Demons, turbid for monsters and sea creatures, with the latter also having a hint of the ocean’s salty scent.
"If you all do not believe it, then feel free to employ your means; we of the Immortal Tao will take them all on!"
"However, do not forget that this place is Immortal Tao’s East Continent, not a place where you can linger."
The strongest among the Human Immortals finished speaking and left the underground cave with others.
The Fine Gold Ore Mother had disappeared without a trace, and without any clues,they no longer intended to invest effort in this, because that mysterious person was too enigmatic.
Their main task now was to drive out these Demon Cultivators, the Devil Race, and the Sea Clan from the territory! To prevent them from causing trouble and unsettling the East Continent.
"That mysterious person..."
After hiding in space, Li Zhirui was still pondering his identity.
For some reason, he always felt a slight familiarity with the aura emitted by that person.
But Li Zhirui thoroughly searched his memory and found no matching aura.
"But is the premonition I had before really related to him?" Li Zhirui furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "Is he the one influencing the entire Primal Spirit Realm? Or is it because of that Fine Gold Ore Mother with birthed Spiritual Intelligence?"
With only a faint premonition brought about by his Spirit Sense, of course, he had no way to deduce more information. He could only put it aside for the time being and wait for an opportunity to resolve it in the future.
Uncertain when that group of Great Abilities would leave, Li Zhirui hid in space for over a month, healing his injuries before carefully probing the situation outside of space.
After such a long time, those Great Abilities had long since left, and only then did he feel at ease to emerge from space and head toward the exterior of the mine.
Having delayed his return home, he wonders how anxious his family must be.
