Immortal Path Space

Chapter 142: Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell

"Was the method you used to conceal your figure before due to Cultivation Techniques or the effect of a Spiritual Weapon?" Wang Hong was very curious about how Huang Yu had suddenly disappeared, a method of stealth he found intriguing.

If it was Cultivation Techniques, he wanted to come over and practice it himself. The ability to conceal oneself, silently approach enemies, and then launch a surprise attack was something he truly enjoyed.

"Is this what East Master was referring to?" Huang Yu's figure slowly blurred as he spoke, until he completely vanished, becoming invisible even to Divine Sense.

After a moment, Huang Yu reappeared in front of him.

"It's the effect of this Spiritual Weapon-grade Daoist robe on me. It can conceal my figure, allowing me to lurk and assassinate in secret."

However, there was a significant drawback after becoming invisible, he couldn't use Spiritual Power, and his own Divine Sense was greatly restricted.

Wang Hong thought it was a bit regrettable; these two flaws significantly diminished the effectiveness of this Spiritual Weapon.

If it weren't for the limitation on Divine Sense, it might not have been so easy to fall into the trap. His poison could have dispersed into the air without a trace.

However, even though his pollen was as fine as dust, it still had a form. With the Divine Sense of the later stages of Foundation Building, it could be detected with caution.

Since he now had the entire person in his grasp, Wang Hong had no intention of taking these treasures from Huang Yu. They would probably be more useful in Huang Yu's hands.

Suddenly, Wang Hong remembered something important and asked, "After leaving the Shadow Kill Organization, they probably won't let you go easily, right?"

Huang Yu's expression became solemn, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My situation is considered a betrayal. I will be pursued for the rest of my life. Once caught, I'll face extremely severe punishment, with no chance of survival or death."

The Shadow Kill Organization had strict control over its assassins, absolutely forbidding any betrayals.

He still remembered the first day he joined Shadow Kill. Someone took him to visit a place, and after returning, he had nightmares for several years.

The fear deeply implanted itself in his soul.

Inside were dozens of betrayers, howling in pain day and night. The longest-incarcerated had been there for a hundred years.

Those imprisoned were subjected to constant torment, and even as they neared the end of their lifespan, Shadow Kill ensured they did not die. Even after death, their souls were pulled out for continued torture.

Thinking about this, Huang Yu felt his whole body go numb, his hair standing on end. He couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He took a deep breath, took a long time to calm down, and then regained his composure.

"I need to cooperate on this. It's best if I completely disappear from this world."

Wang Hong pondered for a while, came up with a solution, and said, "We can do it this way..."

At this moment, Elder Brother and several fellow disciples were celebrating in a tavern when they received a Transmission Talisman.

"Elder Brother, I just found the Foundation Building cultivator from Shadow Kill. His location is..."

Wang Hong's voice came through the Transmission Talisman, causing Elder Brother's expression to change.

"Wu Junior Brother, what's going on?" one of the disciples asked.

"Haha! Fellow disciples, Junior Brother Wang just happened to encounter a Foundation Building cultivator from Shadow Kill."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go kill him now!" One robust disciple with a hasty temperament immediately put down his wine cup and stood up.

"Junior Brother, can we trust this information? Junior Brother Wang is only at the Qi Cultivation level. Did he not get killed when encountering that Shadow Kill cultivator?" Lu Fang inquired.

"Senior Brother, rest assured. Senior Brother Wang is reliable. It's said that the Shadow Kill cultivator was heavily injured and fell victim to Junior Brother Wang's ambush."

"Ambush?" The others were puzzled. How could a Qi Cultivation cultivator successfully ambush a Foundation Building cultivator?

"Junior Brother Wang is skilled in alchemy and adept at using a unique poison. It's silent and undetectable for a short period after poisoning," Zhang Chunfeng explained.

The revelation left everyone gasping. The seemingly honest-looking person actually possessed such sinister techniques.

"No time to waste. Let's go kill this guy quickly before night brings more dreams," Lu Fang said, standing up.

The group set off again, heading towards the address Wang Hong had provided.

"Senior Brothers, I saw that person entering this pill shop just now."

When the group arrived, Wang Hong welcomed them from an alley, providing an update.

"Zhang Junior Brother, Li Junior Brother, Liu Junior Brother, guard the entrance. The rest, follow me inside."

After Lu Fang gave his orders, he led the way into the pill shop.

Zhang Chunfeng and the other two guarded the entrance. Suddenly, they saw a person jump down from a window upstairs. Upon closer inspection, it was the Shadow Kill cultivator who had escaped earlier.

However, his original late-stage Foundation Building realm had now dropped to the mid-stage.

The three shouted and launched their Spiritual Weapons at Huang Yu.

Huang Yu summoned a shield, blocking the attacks without lingering in battle, and turned to leave.

The others rushed out of the shop and chased after Huang Yu.

While fleeing, Huang Yu kept a shield up to block attacks from behind.

The pursuing group noticed that Huang Yu's realm was continuously dropping. In a short time, he went from the sixth layer of Foundation Building to the fourth.

During the chase, Huang Yu darted into a courtyard.

The group quickly surrounded the entire courtyard.

Although not large, the courtyard had protective formations. It endured the collective assault for half a quarter of an hour before finally breaking down.

When they rushed into the courtyard and thoroughly searched it, they found a concealed entrance in a cultivation room.

"Five of you, follow me through this tunnel. The rest, scatter and find the exit," Lu Fang ordered, then led the group into the tunnel.

The tunnel wasn't spacious, allowing only two people to pass side by side. They had to be vigilant for traps as they walked.

When Lu Fang and the five cautiously emerged from the other end of the tunnel, they saw Zhang Chunfeng holding a Storage Bag. In his other hand, he was stuffing a Spiritual Weapon-grade shield into the bag.

It was the same shield the cultivator had used before.

"Where's the person?" Lu Fang asked.

"That pile over there!" Zhang Chunfeng pointed to a nearby heap of humanoid ashes.

"Did you kill him alone? He was a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator."

One disciple couldn't believe it.

"When I encountered him, he was only at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. Killing him was effortless," Zhang Chunfeng casually explained.

Hearing this, the others finally recalled that the cultivator's realm had been continuously dropping earlier, marveling at Zhang Chunfeng's stroke of luck.
