Chapter 1159 - Escaping Tracking
In this lightning domain, Tang Huan"s speed was not affected in the slightest, while Nie Zhitong, on the other hand, was constantly being attacked by lightning and the "Heavenly Lightning Serpent".
If it were only one or two of these attacks, Nie Zhitong would definitely not have faced any threat. However, they were too concentrated, and even Nie Zhitong would have to be careful in dealing with them. Every time he destroyed a bolt of lightning or killed a "Heavenly Light Thunder Snake", his speed would slow down for a moment.
This caused the distance between the two to increase.
However, even if he temporarily left Nie Zhitong behind, Tang Huan still could not completely relax.
Not long after entering the Thunder Dominion, Tang Huan realized that the Mind Stigma in the jade tablet that he had left for Shao Yang had been touched. However, he did not immediately rush over.
In this "Tong Tian Tower", only the Lightning Territory could obstruct Nie Zhitong"s footsteps, not anywhere else. But to completely avoid being tracked by Nie Zhitong, one had to break the connection between Tang Huan and the ball of aura she had collected. It was very difficult to do this.
Back then, even when Tang Huan had entered the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace", Geng Wen had been able to use the "Spirit Aura Drawing Arts" to find the location where the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" was hidden. Right now, bringing Hu Si along with him and not being able to enter the cave, it would be even harder for Tang Huan to get rid of Nie Zhitong.
After pondering for a long time, Tang Huan finally thought of only the simplest and stupidest method.
That was procrastination!
Wait until that aura does not exist!
No matter what methods were used, the aura of another person that was collected would not last forever. As time pa.s.sed, the aura would definitely become fainter and fainter until it completely disappeared. Of course, due to the difference in their techniques, the speed at which the aura dissipated varied.
According to Tang Huan"s observation, the ball of aura that Nie Zhitong had collected was extremely condensed.
However, this wasn"t a big deal. He just needed to spend more time on it.
Therefore, when he felt that he was quite a distance away from Nie Zhitong, Tang Huan stopped casting "Flowing Gold" and completely restrained his aura, swimming non-stop within the lightning domain. Even if it was a "Heaven s.h.i.+ning Thunder Snake" attack, Tang Huan could only dodge and not attack, lest Nie Zhitong collect them again.
In the Lightning Territory, there were no diurnal changes. Tang Huan could only vaguely guess how much time had pa.s.sed …
One day, two days … Five days … Ten days …
During this period, Tang Huan had met Nie Zhitong multiple times from afar. As expected, the white-colored odor in her hands became smaller and smaller, and Tang Huan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After he estimated that the ball of aura would last for at most another one to two days, Tang Huan would begin to head north. After entering the Fire Domain, he would then head east along the Fire Region.
"Hateful!" Hateful! Hateful! "
At the edge of the fiery domain, Nie Zhitong watched as the last wisp of white-colored odor disappeared into thin air. She gnashed her teeth in anger and cursed out three times, her pretty face now so dark that water seemed to be dripping from it. She had completely lost track of Tang Huan"s location.
In the last several days in the fiery domain and the dozen or so days in the Thunder Dominion, in total, she hadn"t been able to catch up to the black-clothed man even after 20 days. It would have been fine if the opponent was a peak 9-stage Void Transformation Stage cultivator, but he was a young man with a 5-stage Void Transformation Stage cultivation.
One of the two strongest people in the Ancient Regions couldn"t even deal with a young man who was at the Fifth Cycle of the Void Transformation?
If this news were to spread out, countless Void Transformation Stage cultivators would be so shocked that their eyeb.a.l.l.s would pop out.
However, even though she was extremely angry, she was still praising Tang Huan for his methods that he had displayed these past few days.
After cultivating for over a thousand years, she had never seen a Void Transformation Stage cultivator possessing such a shocking Perception Ability, much less one capable of restraining their own aura to such an extent. In her ten days in the lightning domain, she had always wanted to collect Tang Huan"s aura again, but to no avail.
"Maybe it"s time to meet that old fellow Duan Wuya!" After a long while, Nie Zhitong finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and murmured softly.
"..."
Firestorm Lightning World, eastern region.
Outside the Wind Region, between the endlessly churning clouds, six figures were faintly discernable. Their bodies faintly emitted an extremely tyrannical aura; it was Shao Yang and the others.
At this moment, the eyes of the six of them were filled with anxiety.
"Brother Shao, why hasn"t the person you"re looking for arrived yet?" A thin old man with two cheeks couldn"t help but say anxiously, "The cold tide in the "Blackfrost Snow Realm" has increased the number of people who go to the edge of the "Wind Fire Thunder Realm" to cultivate. If others were to discover that secret realm, it would be troublesome."
"It"s not even twenty days yet, could it be that something happened on the way here?" A rough looking old man in a golden robe couldn"t help but ask.
"Not really."
Shao Yang frowned slightly and shook his head.
Others might not know about Tang Huan"s situation, but he was very clear about it. To an ordinary Void Transformation Stage cultivator, this "Wind Fire Thunder World" was indeed an extremely dangerous region, but to Tang Huan, the dangers of this "Wind Fire Thunder World" might not even compare to the cold tide of the "Mystic Frost Snow World".
Moreover, even if he met with a strong enemy, as long as he wasn"t a top Ranker like Ancestor Wuya, Tang Huan would be able to deal with him easily. When Tang Huan had entered the "Wind Fire and Thunder Realm" from the "Ice Snow Realm", he had basically offended Ancestor Wuya, but he shouldn"t have reached the point where he needed Patriarch Wuya"s personal help.
"I"ll try again!"
Shao Yang took out the jade tablet that Tang Huan had given him.
This jade tablet contained Tang Huan"s Mind Stigma. As long as Tang Huan was still in the "Wind Fire Thunder World" after activating it, he should be able to sense it immediately.
The first time Shao Yang used this jade plate was twenty-three days ago.
With Tang Huan"s speed, it was only around ten days or so to cross the entire "Wind Fire Thunder Realm", but after waiting more than ten days, he still could not find any trace of Tang Huan. Thus, ten days ago, Shao Yang once again activated the jade tablet, and after that, he would have to use it almost once or twice every day.
"No need."
Right at this time, a voice suddenly sounded out, "I"m already here!"
The moment those words were spoken, a slender black figure appeared out of nowhere a dozen meters away from them, causing the skinny old man and the others to jump up in shock. They were all the top experts of the Nine Revolutions Void, but they did not sense that someone had snuck up beside them.
"Little brother!"
The black clothed man who had suddenly appeared was actually Tang Huan. Strangely, at this moment, she was carrying a white clothed female with a pretty face, but who seemed to be in a coma.
