Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Shadow Escape Technique

"Trash! How could you let someone infiltrate the shrine and even lose the True Dragon Imperial Seal! Such a fault cannot be amended even if you were to die a thousand times!"

Thud!

The luxurious high-stemmed goblet was thrown directly at Chiyomiko’s forehead. Chiyomiko did not dare to use her mana to block it, letting the goblet smash her head and blood flowed freely.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed our shrine’s negligence, but rest assured the invader has not escaped. Give me a little more time, and I will surely drag him out of the Liuli Golden Palace."

"Hmph, it better be so, otherwise I won’t be able to protect you when the time comes."

The woman clad in a yellow dragon robe coldly spoke.

Chiyomiko took a deep breath and said, "I understand, so about that esteemed person..."

"Don’t worry; he is in seclusion. Even if I need to report, it won’t be at this time, but you don’t have much time left."

"Chiyomiko understands that even if it requires the entire shrine’s power, I will definitely find the invader."

"By the way, since you had previously locked onto their aura, can you determine where they are from?"

Chiyomiko shook her head, "Although it was a high-grade smoky jade, where it was produced is uncertain, but there are definitely ninjas involved."

"I see. Tomorrow when I meet with those from Dongying, I will probe their attitude towards the Emperor’s Six Treasures."

After speaking, the woman in the imperial robe gave Chiyomiko a cold look, "Chiyomiko, disappointing me doesn’t matter, but do not disappoint that esteemed person. Otherwise... the position of the Royal Witch can be held by someone else."

Upon hearing about that esteemed person, Chiyomiko immediately knelt to the ground.

This woman, the only Royal Witch of Liuli Country, whose power was comparable to the Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm, was now so silenced by fear that even breathing felt extraordinarily difficult.

"Leave now, retrieve the Emperor’s Six Treasures, and I naturally will plead on your behalf in front of that esteemed person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After respectfully performing a kneeling salute to the woman, Chiyomiko left the grand hall on her knees.

Upon standing up, the wound on her forehead instantly healed without leaving a trace. All caution vanished from her eyes, replaced by a chilling resolve.

Who this deadly intent was truly for, only Chiyomiko herself knew.

Elsewhere, just as Chiyomiko had surmised.

On the second underground level, which was thoroughly sealed off, Su Chengyu and the female ninja had no way to leave the Liuli Golden Palace.

Initially, Su Chengyu was planning to make a desperate move, using the smoke to forcibly carve a bloody path to escape the Liuli Golden Palace.

But just as Su Chengyu was about to make his move, the female ninja suddenly grabbed him, and accompanied by a strange fluctuation, Su Chengyu was taken underground.

Escape Technique.

Beyond Sword Control, the most common movement method used by cultivators was the Escape Technique.

However, Su Chengyu had not specifically cultivated this art: for one, it was only used for convenience in everyday life and was not significant in combat; secondly, ordinary Escape Techniques could not evade enemies’ tracking. Thus, he had not much regard for this art.

Yet the Escape Technique used by the female ninja at this moment was not only extremely covert and clever, but its speed was also beyond Su Chengyu’s expectations.

Even though they were underground, the speed at which the female ninja moved with Su Chengyu was even faster than Su Chengyu’s Sword Control.

Could this woman be a Shadow-rank Ninja?

After this thought flashed through his mind, Su Chengyu immediately dismissed it.

The Shadow-rank Ninja’s strength could rival that of the Void Experts.

If the woman truly possessed such strength, there was no need for her to flee with him like this, she could have directly fought her way out.

Even if the Demon Monarch hidden in the Liuli Golden Palace appeared, with a ninja’s agility, she could escape and the opponent truly wouldn’t be able to stop her.

Just as Su Chengyu was puzzled in his heart, the female ninja suddenly stopped moving, took out a few elixirs, and directly threw them into her mouth, obviously having completely depleted her mana.

"Is it a magic artifact, or is it an amulet?"

Su Chengyu turned his head and asked the female ninja.

The female ninja gave Su Chengyu a glance, "Of course, it’s my own technique. Our Koka Clan’s Shadow Escape Technique is the fastest escape technique in all of Dongying!"

Su Chengyu chuckled, noncommittal. He had already discussed similar matters long ago with Lin An and they had agreed that the Kunpeng Treasure Technique was the fastest mystical travel technique.

"Stop pretending, you are at most a senior ninja, and you are not capable of using such an advanced escape technique."

Seeing Su Chengyu mercilessly exposing her, the female ninja glared at him, "I did help you escape, is this how you talk to your benefactor?"

"Benefactor? I really do want to properly calculate with you why you seized the Heavenly Son’s Imperial Seal when I was about to make my move?"

The female ninja was immediately speechless, and even through her veil, Su Chengyu could feel her blushing as she spoke shakily, "I was afraid you wouldn’t be willing to give it to me later."

"So? You just forcibly acted, forcing me to intervene and save you, then exposed us both? Now we are stuck underground, neither able to advance nor retreat. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

The same words, Su Chengyu returned to the female ninja.

The female ninja had no reply, knowing that when she had tried to seize the seal, if not for Su Chengyu’s intervention, she would have been left with at most half a life.

Seeing the silent female ninja, Su Chengyu looked at her coldly, "Amulet or magic artifact, hand it over first. We’ll try to move away from this place as much as possible."

The female ninja frowned, "Even if I give it to you, you can’t use it. This is the Shadow Escape Amulet personally passed down to me by my master, only ninjas of our Koka Clan can use it, even those from the Yihe wouldn’t be able to activate it at all."

"They can’t, but I can."

Su Chengyu stretched out his hand, and the female ninja, half-believing, handed the amulet over to Su Chengyu.

Looking at this finely crafted Japanese amulet, Su Chengyu immediately judged that it must have been made by a Shadow-rank ninja, and the creator’s mastery of the Shadow Escape Technique was especially profound.

Su Chengyu infused mana into the Shadow Escape Amulet. The amulet flickered slightly, then became still again. The female ninja immediately said, "I told you, you couldn’t use it."

Ignoring the female ninja, Su Chengyu, after familiarizing himself with the amulet’s structure, slightly adjusted the nature of his own mana and drove the Shadow Escape Amulet again; finally, their figures started moving once more.

The female ninja watched in disbelief, her eyes widened, "How did you do that? Are you also a ninja from the Koka Clan?"

"No."

Su Chengyu said calmly, but he did not intend to reveal his identity.

The mana of a Koka ninja is indeed somewhat different from ordinary mana, but all are derivatives of nature’s spiritual energy.

The Koka ninjas do not know how to change the nature of their mana, but for Su Chengyu, a cultivator, accomplishing such a feat is indeed extremely simple.

Not to mention ninjas, if Su Chengyu wanted, he could even transform into a so-called "witch" by tomorrow.

This is what makes a cultivator, the most unique and rarest existence between this heaven and earth.
