Chapter 279: Chapter 140 Xu Jin’s Arrangement and Trapped Dragon Rising to the Sky (Requesting Subscription)_5

A group of people chased after him at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, they approached the fleeing Qi Shanye.

However, ahead, there was no sign of Qi Shanye.

This did not surprise Hu Xuechuan at all.

Qi Shanye’s invisibility was unmatched in the world, otherwise, he wouldn’t have earned the name Shadow Demon.

Moreover, the positioning of the Star Positioning Plate on Qi Shanye was only a vague location.

Otherwise, they would have captured him earlier.

But the closer they got, the higher the accuracy.

"Spread out, the Old Thief Qi should be within a few miles ahead!

Everyone, be careful to sense and search, and you’ll be able to detect his Star Power fluctuations; even if he is the Shadow Demon, he cannot conceal the fluctuations while moving at high speed!" Hu Xuechuan shouted excitedly.

However, several experts from the Fifth Tier of the Gathering Battle Realm were perplexed; dozens of seconds had passed since they spread out, and they had control over the Star Power fluctuations within a ten miles radius; yet there was no sign of the Shadow Demon, Qi Shanye.

Apart from a few birds, within the ten miles around them in the sky and underground, there wasn’t a ghost of a person!

Hu Xuechuan also realized something was wrong.

On the Star Positioning Plate, Qi Shanye was nearby, still moving at high speed, but they couldn’t even see his shadow!

Could the Star Positioning Plate be malfunctioning?

Impossible!

That absolutely couldn’t be the case!

The Star Positioning Plate couldn’t possibly malfunction!

Then...

Hu Xuechuan looked around intensely, maximizing his Star Power and Divine Soul Power as he began to patrol the surroundings in a circular search.

Theoretically, Qi Shanye was right here.

Suddenly, Hu Xuechuan saw a Star Pigeon flying in fright and at high speed a hundred meters above them, oddly tied with a piece of Jade?

Normally, they are tied with message capsules, why would it carry the cumbersome Jade?

But Hu Xuechuan didn’t pay any attention to this Star Pigeon!

Hu Xuechuan accelerated again, surpassing the pigeon by several miles.

Suddenly, Hu Xuechuan’s expression changed—he realized that, according to the Star Positioning Plate, the position of the Shadow Demon, Qi Shanye, had moved behind him.

How could this be?

The speed of the Shadow Demon was not slower than his!

In an instant, he turned back to the position indicated by the Star Positioning Plate for Qi Shanye.

Still no one!

However, that Star Pigeon carrying the Jade, creepily appeared in Hu Xuechuan’s sight again.

There was a problem!

Stretching out his hand to lightly probe, Hu Xuechuan captured the fast-flying Star Pigeon.

In the next instant, Hu Xuechuan’s face changed dramatically.

For in the moment his hand grasped it, he sensed a familiar aura from the Jade.

The aura of the Shadow Demon, Qi Shanye, whom he had dreamt of capturing and had been chasing for over three years.

Star Power surged over instantly.

The instant the power surged, the surface of the Jade, which he had just captured, flashed and instantly shattered.

Without the Jade as a carrier, the sliver of Divine Separation taken from Qi Shanye dissipated in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Qi Shanye, who had been running wildly for over 15 minutes, suddenly trembled and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, as the backlash from the dispersal of the Divine Soul Origin within the Divine Separation!

But in the next instant, Qi Shanye, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly burst into wild laughter!

minutes!

He hadn’t expected that a mere Divine Separation, containing less than half his Divine Soul Power, could occupy Hu Xuechuan for as long as 15 minutes!

Trapped dragon rising to the sky!

Once again, he had escaped the incessant Hu Xuechuan!

And just at that moment, after the Jade had shattered, the Star Positioning Plate suddenly started flashing, and a few breaths later, another red dot representing Qi Shanye’s position appeared on the Star Positioning Plate.

Hu Xuechuan merely glanced at it and his face drastically changed.

According to the Star Positioning Plate’s indication, Qi Shanye was already hundreds of miles away!

The Shadow Demon was already hundreds of miles away; how could they surround and capture him?

"How could this be?"

"How is this possible?"

"Hall Master, how could the Star Positioning Plate... could it be that we..."

Pfft!

In the next instant, Hu Xuechuan, who had been tirelessly awake for many days, spat out a blood arrow and collapsed backwards!
