Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 684 - 684 670 Mysterious

Chapter 684: Chapter 670: Mysterious Chapter 684: Chapter 670: Mysterious Xuan Wu had no choice. The sky had darkened again, making it impossible to find Dragon Soul in this dense forest. If Dragon Soul had secretly led the Mitra Monk’s men to this place, it would be difficult to deal with them later. So, he quickly decided to retreat.

Xuan Lin said, “Even so, without capturing Dragon Soul and killing their people, there won’t be anyone left to help them. It will be impossible for them to figure out the Lost Soul System. They are daydreaming about using it.”

Xuan Wu quickly led his men and hastily left the forest.

Dragon Soul and Shi Xueqin, who were hiding in the dense forest, quietly emerged.

By then, the sky was completely dark.

Everything around them was eerily silent.

Jing Po and his two surviving subordinates also joined up with Dragon Soul.

Shi Xueqin asked, “What about now, where is our fish?”

Jing Po took out a box and said, “The fish can’t escape.” The box contained hundreds of bugs.

“What are these?” Shi Xueqin asked, puzzled.

“Tracking bugs.”

“What tracking bugs?”

It turned out that Jing Po had spread a scent on the Xuan Clan’s people during their battle. This scent would remain on their clothes, leaving a trail for the bugs to follow if they returned to Demon Valley. The bugs, which could fly, would continuously track this scent.

“They will follow the Xuan Clan’s people.” Jing Po released the bugs and said, “Young Master, I’m leaving.” They needed to follow these bugs to find a safe passage through the Lost Soul System as quickly as possible.

“Be careful, map out the route clearly, and give the route map to Mitra Monk.”

Jing Po immediately led the remaining disciples, following the tracking bugs, starting to trace the whereabouts of the Xuan Clan disciples.

“This is indeed a good method.” Shi Xueqin said.

“Was it worth it for those disciples to die?”

“It’s indeed a pity. After all, they were our brothers.”

“There’s no way around it; everything comes at a cost. You can’t expect to catch fish without using bait. It’s simply not realistic.”

“Sigh, it’s still a pity no matter how you put it.”

“Let’s go. I believe you must be hungry by now.”

Shi Xueqin followed.

“Do you feel sorry for them?” Dragon Soul asked, looking at the bodies of the Dragon Slaying Clan.

“They were people of the Dragon Slaying Clan,” Shi Xueqin said.

“So what? Some things require sacrifices. There’s no success without a cost.”

“Brother Longhun… can you not be so cold-hearted?”

“I am just that cold-hearted. If I’m not, others will be to me; there’s nothing I can do about it.” Dragon Soul continued walking and said, “It’s not my choice.”

Shi Xueqin followed behind and asked, “What do we do now?”

“Sleep, rest well. When the Mitra Monk arrives, we’ll set off together.” Dragon Soul continued, “Aren’t you tired?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Anyone would be after a day of fighting. Rest quickly, I think the Mitra Monk and his men will be here soon.”

Using the tracking bugs, Jing Po and his men quickly caught up with the people from the Xuan Clan and shortly figured out a path. He quickly created an accurate map and sent it to Mitra Monk with a carrier pigeon.

Once Mitra Monk received the message, he immediately led his men off under the cover of night.

Xuan Wu and his team returned to Demon Valley.

The Clan Chief had been informed about their actions and was waiting for them at the city gate.

The Chief was clearly furious. He asked, “Why do you always disobey me?”

Xuan Wu replied, “Chief, I just thought it was an opportunity to kill Dragon Soul. It would be a pity to pass it up.”

The Chief looked at Xuan Wu with frustration, unable to speak for a long time, finally asking, “What’s the situation now?”

Xuan Wu answered, “Dragon Soul escaped, but we’ve killed most of his men. The few that remain are scattered in the forest. They’re not a threat anymore. Tomorrow, we’ll just have to find them.”

Xuan Qian looked behind Xuan Wu and noticed Xuan Si. He walked over and said, “You brat, you’ve gone mad too.”

Xuan Si looked up at Xuan Qian and said, “Father, I just wanted to help.”

“Now you all can just ignore me.”

“Oh, come on! It’s not like we’re ignoring you. Look, the situation is good, isn’t it? Even though Dragon Soul escaped, most of his men are dead. Now, there isn’t anyone who can assist them. They’re trapped and can’t move forward. How wonderful is that! We don’t need to worry about anything. Maybe tomorrow we can even find Dragon Soul and kill him.”

“You really drive me crazy, you little brat,” Xuan Qian worried about her safety. This daughter was his everything. He couldn’t allow anything to happen to her. Moreover, although Xuan Si had learned martial arts, her experience was severely lacking. As a father, he understood this better than anyone.

“Father, your caution is understandable, but the situation is quite favorable now. It will be interesting to see how the few remaining ones can escape our Lost Soul System. By daybreak, we should be able to find them.”

Xuan Qian glared at Xuan Wu, shame on you for leading them on such a wild chase, he admonished.

Xuan Si, hearing this, quickly interrupted, “Father, it’s not the assistant master’s fault, I snuck after them.”

“Well, the more I leave you alone, the bolder you get.”

Xuan Wen interjected, “Clan Chief, it’s dark out already, and they’re tired from a long day of battling. I think it’s time for them to rest.”

Xuan Si quickly chimed in, “Yes, father, I am indeed tired and a bit hungry. I will go eat.”

She pulled Xuan Hong with her as they ran off. If she had stayed, her father would definitely have continued the conversation. Xuan Wu looked down, only regretting he hadn’t managed to kill Longhun (Dragon Soul). If he had, the Clan Chief may have been less angry.

Xuan Qian said, “Fine, go.”

Xuan Wu hurriedly took the others and left.

Xuan Wen commented, “Clan Chief, this is a good situation. We won’t have to worry about them anymore.”

Xuan Qian sighed, “Do you think I am being overly cautious?”

“No, Clan Chief, you are simply being prudent.”

“Go.”

Xuan Hong, following Xuan Si, murmured, “So, this Dragon Soul isn’t all that great after all, escaping before even seeing us. He’s a coward. The outside world has exaggerated his abilities.”

Xuan Si gave a soft chuckle, “Like you’re not a coward.”

“I’m definitely not a coward,” Xuan Hong laughed too, proud of their triumph over the enemy. “We could easily handle this bunch even without the Demon Palace City’s support.”

“Stop babbling on and aren’t you hungry?” Xuan Si headed for a square filled with delicious food.

“Of course not,” Xuan Hong pulled Xuan Si along in front of him. “I just think these bumbling fools are too cowardly, running away before we even arrived.”

Xuan Si was momentarily confused, “Are the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan really so weak? We didn’t even show up before they fled.”

Xuan Hong found a spot for Xuan Si and brought some barbequed meat. He masticated on a rib as he spoke.

Xuan Si questioned, “They managed to defeat the Demon Domain using the Sea Demon and almost destroyed the New City Sect by surprise.”

“They must have just gotten extremely lucky.”

“You genuinely believe it was just luck?” Xuan Si wasn’t satisfied with his answer.

“What else? Tonight, we saw it ourselves. Before we could even catch up, Dragon Soul ran away.”

“He shouldn’t be that weak. After all, he’s the one who used the Sea Demon to defeat Demon Domain. He stormed into the Wastelands and broke through Tianle City and Sky Domain City. He can’t be this weak!” Xuan Si seemed to be grasping at straws.

“Maybe he just thought that we had too many people and he had too few, so there was no point in staying. His escape proved that he was right, because if he had stayed, there’s no doubt that we would have either captured or killed him.”

Still, Xuan Si felt something was off.Indeed, understanding the true nature of Dragon Soul was puzzling. Was he seen as a coward? But if he isn’t a coward, how could today’s events be explained?

“Hey, aren’t you hungry! Hurry up and eat,” Xuan Hong prodded her.

“Don’t you feel that today’s events are a bit strange?” She asked.

“Strange? How so?”

“We hadn’t even caught up, and Dragon Soul already ran away. We didn’t even have to fight.”

“Maybe he didn’t want to get surrounded and be killed.”

“Is it really like that? Didn’t they think we would take action against them after they walked in?”

“Stop overthinking. It was just a few people who managed to escape and Dragon Soul was simply lucky.”

“Everything seems as if it’s been planned.” Xuan Si murmured to herself.

“What do you mean, ‘planned’?”

“Don’t you find it strange, we hadn’t even gotten there, and Dragon Soul made an easy escape?”

“That just means that he isn’t smart, nothing but a fool.”

“You’re the fool. ” Xuan Si’s mind was confused and she felt even stranger as she tried to unravel the day’s events.

“Eat. This roasted meat is delicious.” Xuan Hong handed Xuan Si the tastiest pieces, “Don’t overthink it. We clearly triumphed. The only one missing is Dragon Soul. By dawn, we should be able to find him. I refuse to believe he can hide forever.”

It was dark, and Dragon Soul couldn’t be found. Tomorrow, when the sun rises, finding Dragon Soul would be easy.

Xuan Si let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat perplexed. There seemed to be a disconnect between what she had heard and what she had seen. It was as if she was looking at two different people.
