495: Search

“Let’s stay here for now.”

In a house on the edge of a town.

Wang Dong surveyed his surroundings and spoke softly.

Yao Yue naturally nodded, feeling no dissatisfaction in her heart.

But just then, a vast and immense Qi suddenly swept across the entire region above them.

“This seems to be the Qi of a Saint.”

Wang Dong’s brow furrowed slightly.

However, he quickly dismissed it.

Such a level of existence might have been incredibly powerful when he was weak.

But now, in Wang Dong’s eyes, it was merely something he could extinguish with a flick of his hand.

Even Yao Yue didn’t care at all.

They even wondered if something else had happened to alarm a Saint into action.

Generally speaking, even with the current prosperity of the Cultivation era, Saints were still the ceiling of combat power.

For those lower-level, smaller Cultivators, or even small Sects, a Saint could be considered a Sect-protecting Old Ancestor-level figure.

Generally, they wouldn’t casually make a move.

The Azure Firmament Star Domain they chose had only a moderate level of Cultivation prosperity.

Under such circumstances, the existence of a Saint was extremely important to a Sect.

They would absolutely not act unless it was a large-scale or necessary matter.

However, the two of them didn’t take it to heart.

They then settled down.

For Yao Yue, being able to accompany Wang Dong for a while in the last period of their long lives, experiencing the joys and sorrows of The Mortal World like Mortals, was the best thing.

As for Wang Dong, he suddenly discovered that living in The Mortal World greatly benefited his Cultivation insights.

Naturally, he took this matter extremely seriously.

At this moment, if anyone dared to disturb his Cultivation, he wouldn’t mind letting them know what an Emperor was.

Even if he had been absent from The Mortal World for too long, he still stood high above all living beings… “Fellow Daoist, how is your search progressing?”

Black Mountain Old Ghost’s face was ferocious.

He looked at the other several Cultivators.

These people were all Saints who had joined Sects.

Some were extremely far from here, but in order to secure Black Mountain Old Ghost’s allegiance to their Sect, they had traveled all this way.

All for Black Mountain Old Ghost to avenge his son’s death.

It was regrettable, and inexplicably so, that with their current Cultivation, they had searched this entire city several times but still hadn’t found the so-called killer.

“He’s not here at all.”

“Absolutely impossible!”

The moment this question was asked, it was immediately met with a rebuttal from Black Mountain Old Ghost.

His tone was extremely firm.

The moment his son died, he had already sealed off this entire region.

No one could have escaped his Divine Sense.

Unless, of course, the strength of that couple far surpassed his own.

But how could that be possible?

He was a dignified Saint-level Grand Cultivator, dominating a Star Domain.

He was virtually invincible below the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Furthermore, current Quasi-Emperors were suppressed by the Dao of the Emperor.

It was impossible for them to appear in The Mortal World.

It was also extremely rare for these Saints to walk in The Mortal World.

If not for this incident, it would be impossible for them to gather here in such large numbers.

Let alone casually encounter two Saints or even existences above Saints on the road.

Could it be the Dark Supreme?

Black Mountain Old Ghost’s expression grew serious.

In recent years, people often discovered the Dark Supreme in The Mortal World.

These were all beings who had survived from ancient times.

When Wang Dong cleared the dark forbidden zones, they had fled into The Mortal World.

They lived among Mortals, enjoying all the beauty of The Mortal World.

Of course, they would occasionally offer guidance to juniors, often leading to astonishing Opportunities.

However, besides that, there were also occasional incidents of merchants transporting goods.

Furthermore, for these high and mighty existences, no one could be put in their eyes, and they didn’t need to care about anyone.

If his son had truly provoked them, then it was indeed easy to be harmed.

Even that legendary figure, who hung high in the sky, was willing to help the weaker ones rise.

If his son had actively provoked a strong person, then even that legend couldn’t arbitrarily interfere with this matter.

Black Mountain Old Ghost pondered for a long time, then felt that he might be overthinking things.

The Dark Supreme were extremely rare.

Perhaps several Star Domains might not even have one.

One must know that the vast majority were all killed by that one individual back then.

Even this news was only vaguely understood after he attained Sainthood.

There were hardly any left who could survive and enter The Mortal World.

To encounter one in the Azure Firmament Star Domain now, and for him to just happen upon it, was even more impossible.

He must be overthinking.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke coldly.

“He must be here. He probably possesses some Magic Treasure that can nullify Divine Sense searches. Why don’t you observe with your naked eyes or dispatch your Disciples?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present hesitated.

One must know that for them, as Saints, to search would be time-saving, labor-saving, and relatively easy.

But if they were to mobilize the Sect’s power, many Disciples would descend the mountain.

After their initial foray, conflicts and clashes with others would be inevitable.

Although the forces behind them might not worry about so-called clashes and conflicts, this matter would become even more troublesome, requiring a greater expenditure of resources.

One must know that although Black Mountain Old Ghost was a Saint, he was quite important to the Sects behind them.

Once he could join a Sect, their power would further expand, leading to more resources.

This would then form a positive feedback loop, continuously investing in their Disciples and strengthening the entire Sect.

However, if they had to pay a huge price to gain Black Mountain Old Ghost, it would be a bit uneconomical.

Although Black Mountain Old Ghost was a Saint, his reputation wasn’t very good.

When he first became a Saint, he slaughtered his entire Sect.

He used all the resources to stabilize his Cultivation at the Saint Realm.

After that, he joined multiple Sects.

He constantly plundered Sect resources, and there were even frequent reports of small Sects being annihilated.

Later, he consorted with a Yao Beast and had a son.

Only then did his killing intent subside, and he turned to Cultivating in The Mortal World.

Their desire to have this existence join their Sects here was also a certain level of risk.

All the Sects had decided in their hearts to only let him do things, but not give him benefits.

Of course, appropriate remuneration would still be given, as it was necessary to maintain a certain level of enthusiasm.

But all of this was predicated on Black Mountain Old Ghost joining their Sect.

With so many people competing today, who knew where he would end up?
