Sage of Humanity-Chapter 529 - 527 The Secret Technique of the Tracking Disc

Upon receiving the tracking disc, Tan Sheng looked at the compass needle with a cold expression.

If he could reap the benefits alone, why would he want to share with others? But as things had developed to this point, just the three of them alone would be impossible to find Lu Yiye's whereabouts. A whole day had passed, back and forth a dozen times along the same route without catching a glimpse of Lu Yiye's shadow. Continuing like this, once the hunting grounds closed, Lu Yiye would surely escape.

Sighing to himself with great regret, twenty percent would have to do, he thought, better than nothing.

With that thought, his decision was made.

He raised his hand, bit his fingertip, and wrote the name Lu Yiye three times over on the tracking disc.

The deep red of his blood seeped into the disc and quickly vanished. In the next moment, the tracking disc suddenly shattered, turning into a rainbow light that shot up into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The tracking disc had two different effects. One was the previous application by Jiang Liuzi, relying on the tracking disc's guidance to precisely trace someone's location, of course, on the condition that both parties were in the same space.

The other was the action that Tan Sheng was undertaking at this moment. After the tracking disc was shattered, it naturally could no longer provide any guidance; however, this effect would leave Lu Ye with nowhere to hide, no place to escape.

For the previous effect, one merely needed to use blood as the guide and write the name of the person being tracked, but for the latter, one had to write the name three times, which is why Tan Sheng wrote it twice more.

Meanwhile, some eight hundred miles away at the teleportation array where Lu Ye was sitting, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. Before he could react to what was happening, a beam of blood light descended from the sky onto him, enveloping him completely.

Immediately thereafter, the sanguine light soared into the sky, turning into a column of light.

The disturbance was almost identical to when a special gold-hued spirit fortune stick was activated, but while that column was golden, the light erupting from him was blood-red and lacked any significant spirit force fluctuations.

Lu Ye had no idea what had just happened.

However, such a massive commotion would certainly attract nearby cultivators, so realizing that something wasn't right, he immediately activated the teleportation array and vanished from the spot.

Shortly after his disappearance, a group of cultivators, drawn by the disturbance, rushed into the cave. But before they had time to investigate, they triggered the explosion magic array left by Lu Ye. A humming shockwave and a burst of flames sent several cultivators running out of the cave, faces blackened from soot.

More cultivators converged toward the area. One of them stood in midair, exuding a formidable aura that was intimidating—this was a Cloud River Level 9 cultivator.

This person silently looked over the situation below and then sent out a message.

The message reached Tan Sheng, hundreds of miles away. After examining it, he took off into the sky and soon transformed into a stream of light, disappearing from view.

Jiang Liuzi and his brother were left behind with helpless expressions.

Jiang Liuzi had been reluctant to hand over the tracking disc, insisting on using it himself, precisely to avoid this kind of situation, but in the end, it still happened.

With the tracking disc no longer in their possession, Tan Sheng naturally wouldn't care about their life or death. A Level 9 alone could move much faster than if he were accompanied by two Level 5s. As for the reward distribution they had agreed upon, Tan Sheng would probably not go back on his word, but that would only happen once the deed was done and if the brothers were still alive to claim it.

Luckily, quite some time had passed and that powerful Haotian Alliance cultivator who killed Master Loo Shu likely wouldn't come after them again, giving them a little more sense of security.

On another teleportation array, Lu Ye calmed his mind and checked his body, but even after extensive searching, he found nothing unusual.

But what was the crimson light that had enveloped him just then?

The magnitude of the outburst was even more intense than the activation of a spirit fortune stick, clearly exposing his hidden position. No matter how well he hid, if there were any cultivators nearby, they would discover it and come to investigate.

He touched the battlefield marking and sent a message to Li Baxian, telling him about his recent encounter.

Li Baxian replied promptly.

"That's the tracking disc's other function..."

Only after Li Baxian's explanation did Lu Ye understand what he had encountered.

It seemed that the day and night of pursuit had made his pursuers impatient, to the point they had no choice but to resort to the tracking disc's second function. As such, although they no longer had the means to track him using the disc, it was now unrealistic for him to continue hiding.

Because according to Li Baxian, such an outburst would occur every two hours.

Lu Ye's heart sank.

In his previous attempts to evade, whenever enemies approached, he was always aware enough to escape early due to an invisible link between him and the tracking disc, allowing him a hint of detection when they were sufficiently close.

This was why Tan Sheng and his men had chased him around a dozen times to no avail.

Originally, he thought if things continued in this way, as long as his arranged teleportation array remained undisrupted, then they could never catch him. But now, it seemed he had oversimplified things.

Tan Sheng and his group indeed couldn't locate him through the tracking disc, but they had directly activated its second function.

This was to ensure he truly had no place to hide.

The gold-hued spirit fortune stick would burst every six hours, which was already frequent enough, but then that blood-colored light had to burst every two hours...

This was giving no room for survival.

"I've already asked someone to lend a hand, junior brother. You must hold on, you must last until the hunting ground closes!"

"Understood."

After the message ended, Lu Ye immediately left his hiding spot and headed outdoors.

Knowing that his location would be exposed every two hours, he couldn't continue to stay in the cave. There weren't many teleportation arrays left, and his location being revealed would inevitably lead to the destruction of one each time, so under the premise of ensuring his own relative safety, he had to set up more teleportation arrays.

As for Li Baxian's comment about getting someone to help, Lu Ye did not doubt it. Li Baxian's and Feng Yuechan's connections were something he couldn't match, and currently, in the hunting ground, there were quite a few strong members of the Haotian Alliance. Li Baxian should be able to mobilize some people to act.

But he couldn't place too much hope on this, one should prepare for the worst and respond most actively to everything.

Just as he made his move, inside the hunting ground, news about Lu Ye was rapidly spreading within the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge camp. In a short time, a large number of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators converged towards the last place where Lu Ye was seen, especially those whose cultivation was not very high but not too low either.

For these people, the greatest benefit of the hunting ground was the various scattered opportunities. The Kills Ranking wasn't something they could touch; they didn't have the power, nor the capability.

At this moment, the news about Lu Ye was everywhere, naturally tempting people. Compared to the Kills Ranking, the reward for slaying Lu Yiye was much more abundant.

Moreover, it was rumored in the message that this Lu Yiye was only at the Cloud River Level 3 cultivation, and now someone had cast a secret technique from the tracking disc on him, causing his location to be exposed every two hours, giving everyone a chance to kill him if they encountered him.

Under such a momentum, in a short period of time, a large number of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators gathered in this direction.

This caused some Haotian Alliance cultivators to be unlucky, as in the hunting ground, the two camps were evenly matched, but as soon as a large group from one side gathered in one direction, the cultivators from the other camp in that direction naturally couldn't hold out.

Uninformed Haotian Alliance cultivators retreated from the area after encountering numerous crises.

Two hours, four hours, six hours...

With each passing two-hour interval, there was a surge of news about Lu Yiye, and his exposed locations would quickly attract a large number of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators to investigate.

But without exception, no one really found his trace. With the help of teleportation arrays, the moment his location was exposed, he could move nearly thirty miles away.

Months later, Lu Ye once again experienced being hunted by countless people, just like on the Spirit Stream battlefield.

But this time, it was much more dangerous than it had been on the Spirit Stream battlefield.

In the Spirit Stream battlefield, the cultivators only had the cultivation of the Spirit Stream Realm, and the various means they could use were no match for the power of the Cloud River Realm experts. Back in the Spirit Stream battlefield, once his cultivation reached 8th Heaven, Lu Ye didn't have to worry about his safety; he would be the one causing trouble for others. After reaching 9th Heaven, he became virtually invincible, and wherever he went, the big sects of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were all filled with dread.

The reason this ordeal was more dangerous than any he'd faced before was that, in the hunting ground, there was a way in but no way out, which was a great limitation for him.

Otherwise, he could have just found a Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union to burst into and use it to protect himself.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer teleportation arrays left.

Now, there were only two remaining teleportation arrays he could use; if Lu Ye hadn't been finding opportunities to relocate after each escape, there would be no teleportation arrays left already.

Lu Ye could feel that the number of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators in this region seemed to be increasing.

He couldn't stay in this damned place, even with two teleportation arrays remaining; continuing to stay in this area would eventually lead to disaster.

But if he didn't use the teleportation arrays, his exposure would definitely be very dangerous once his tracks were discovered.

Whether to go or stay was a truly difficult choice to make.

But soon, Lu Ye made up his mind to leave the area!

Only by leaving this area would there be a sliver of chance for survival; if he continued to stay, death was certain.

Looking up at the blood-colored sky, Lu Ye felt helpless in his heart. The hunting ground had been open for almost twenty days now — when would it close?

A blood-colored light emerged from his body again, followed by a blood-colored beam of light that shot up into the sky!

Another burst had come.

Lu Ye activated the teleportation array beneath his feet and was instantly transported to a place nearly thirty miles away.

After hastily leaving the cave where the teleportation array was located, Lu Ye travelled through the air, making as little commotion as possible, and flew at a steady speed not too high or too slow, just ten meters above the ground.
