160: An inescapable haunting?

"This is a Magic Treasure issued by the Blood God Palace to every assassin, called the soul chasing map. Its Rank isn't high; it barely counts as a Spirit Rank Magic Treasure."

Magic Treasure grades are divided into Mortal Grade, Spirit Rank, Dharma Grade, True, Dao-Grade, Saint-Grade, and Emperor Grade. Each grade is further divided into three levels: Upper, Middle, and Lower.

The soul chasing map of the Blood God Palace is merely a Low Grade Spirit Rank Magic Treasure.

Yun Sangyi's palm gently brushed over the map, and the two spiritual energy spots on it disappeared.

Immediately after, she took out a strand of black hair from her spatial ring and said to Mo Tianxiao, "This is your hair."

Yun Sangyi pinched off a section of Mo Tianxiao's hair and placed it on the soul chasing map. With a mysterious ripple, Mo Tianxiao's hair vanished, and a spiritual energy spot appeared on the map.

At the same time, Yun Sangyi also took a strand of her own hair and placed it on the soul chasing map in the same manner, exposing her own location as well.

"The Rank of the soul chasing map isn't high. This thing is manufactured by the Blood God Palace, and no one except their higher-ups knows the production method. As long as you have the target's hair, nails, skin, flesh, or other body tissues, it will display the target's location."

"Of course, its range is limited. It's roughly within one-fiftieth of the Eastern Region. Beyond that range, it cannot perceive the specific location."

Mo Tianxiao frowned deeply, finding this little gadget exceptionally uncomfortable. "This thing is truly disgusting."

An area one-fiftieth of the Eastern Region was already quite exaggerated.

"I didn't expect the Blood God Palace to be able to get a hold of my hair without me noticing."

Mo Tianxiao hadn't even realized when it had happened.

"The methods of the Blood God Palace are naturally not to be underestimated."

Yun Sangyi looked at Mo Tianxiao, her voice suddenly rising a few notches.

"After the assassin who tried to kill you died, his last position was in the Eastern Region. Since I happened to be in the Eastern Region, I took on this mission. I had to search for quite a while before I locked onto your location."

"As it turned out, you stayed motionless in the core area of the Immortal City for several years, so I never found an opportunity."

"It wasn't until your position moved that I followed you all the way, eventually meeting you in Luoyun City."

"Calculating the time, it's been nearly ten years since I took this mission. If I still haven't completed it within ten years, it will be considered a failure. At that point, the Blood God Palace will open up the mission permissions and raise the mission Rank."

"When that time comes, the assassins sent to kill you will be at least Ninth-Rank Assassins."

"If they fail twice in a row, the Blood God Palace might even raise your mission Rank to level ten directly."

As an Eighth-rank Assassin of the Blood God Palace, she was quite familiar with the assassination business.

Her usual method was to first gain the target's attention as a weak woman. Once the other party completely regarded her as a friend or a weakling they could bully, she would reveal her fangs and kill the target with thunderous methods.

Although this took a lot of time, her mission completion rate was quite high. Since joining the Blood God Palace, she had accepted no fewer than twenty missions and still maintained a one hundred percent completion rate.

But this time, her mission had clearly failed.

However, at the thought of Mo Tianxiao soon being targeted by even more powerful assassins, she felt somewhat happy.

Let's see how you escape the pursuit of those assassins then, unless you hide in these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains for the rest of your life.

Even then, the assassination Rank for Mo Tianxiao would continue to rise over time until he was killed. If he kept hiding in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains or places like the Demon Sect... the final assassins sent for him might be in the Saint Realm, or even the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

After all, once the Blood God Palace accepted a mission, failure was not permitted.

"Sigh, my best friend, it breaks my heart to think that you will die no matter what."

The more Yun Sangyi thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help but reach out and stroke Mo Tianxiao's cheek, gazing at him affectionately as if she truly felt sad for her friend's plight, while in reality, she was laughing wickedly in her heart.

Snap!

Mo Tianxiao slapped away Yun Sangyi's slender hand, his expression somewhat speechless.

"Is there any way to escape the tracking of the soul chasing map?" Mo Tianxiao asked.

If he could get rid of the soul chasing map's effects, his safety factor would increase significantly.

Otherwise, even if he hid in a sparsely populated place, he wouldn't feel at ease. Who could guarantee there wasn't an assassin among the surrounding people?

He couldn't exactly stay in a place where there wasn't a single person, could he? That wasn't realistic. Moreover, if he wanted to become stronger, he had to go to places with many people, or even powerful sects.

Otherwise, rely on his own cultivation? He might not necessarily Breakthrough to the Saint Realm even if he Cultivated until he died.

Yun Sangyi pondered for a moment and looked at him seriously. "Unfortunately, there isn't."

"The effect of this soul chasing map is very strong. Although its Rank is only Spirit Rank, its effect is far beyond what its Rank suggests. Even a Saint Realm Expert can be tracked by it."

"As long as they have the target's body tissue, even if the target changes their appearance or masks the aura of their Divine Soul, it can still lock onto them."

Yun Sangyi wanted to laugh as she saw Mo Tianxiao's solemn expression.

"But you don't need to worry. From now on, you just need to ensure that your hair and other things don't fall into the hands of the Blood God Palace, and then hold out until they use up all your body tissues. Then you might be safe."

"This is the solution your best friend thought of for you. You can try it with confidence."

Yun Sangyi's eyes curved into crescents. Seeing Mo Tianxiao remain silent, she felt even more gratified.

"To tell you the truth, this soul chasing map tracks the Divine Soul. No matter how you mask your aura, and regardless of whether your Divine Soul is weak or strong, as long as your Divine Soul is not extinguished, you cannot escape its tracking."

"Your physical body and your Divine Soul are a match. Even if you discard this body and perform Possession on someone else, the Blood God Palace can still use your original body to find your Divine Soul."

As Yun Sangyi spoke, she gradually leaned closer to Mo Tianxiao until her face was less than a fist's distance away. She stared intently into his eyes, her tone becoming increasingly teasing.

"How about it? Are you scared? My good friend, you can't escape..."

Slap.

Mo Tianxiao suddenly reached out both hands and ruthlessly squeezed Yun Sangyi's cheeks, her oval face being mercilessly ravaged. "Are you telling me a ghost story? 'Can't escape.'"

"Don't worry, if I die, I'll definitely turn into a vengeful ghost to find you. I'll haunt you constantly and torture you every day."

"Do you think I'd be afraid? When the time comes, I might show great mercy for the sake of our friendship and consider letting you be my ghost slave. Wouldn't that make you happy?"

Seeing the trace of a frantic smile on Yun Sangyi's face, Mo Tianxiao decisively let go.

"Go see a doctor when you have the chance. There's definitely something wrong with your mental state."

"Isn't that your fault?"

Yun Sangyi was all smiles, not caring at all that she had become like this. It should be said that she was never a 'good girl' to begin with; it was just that Mo Tianxiao's little bit of training had made her a bit more manic.

Mo Tianxiao's expression returned to normal. After learning so much information about the Blood God Palace, he actually felt a bit more relaxed.

He looked at Yun Sangyi and said in a relaxed tone, "In other words, to escape the effects of the soul chasing map, I just need to change my Divine Soul, right?"
