After distributing the rewards, the Evil Spirit Domain Lord dismissed Yi Tianyun. Elder Tai Suo didn't question Yi Tianyun about Ji Shuilian; here, the Evil Spirit Domain Lord's word was final, so it was better to speak directly to him.
Once they were dismissed, the Evil Spirit Domain Lord's face turned cold, a harsh expression forming on his features.
"Who exactly is this infiltrator? How could they possess such capabilities to escape from my Forbidden Black Curtain!" The Evil Spirit Domain Lord had erected a soundproof barrier around them, ensuring that only the elders could hear the conversation.
The Domain Lord didn't hide the truth from the elders, as this was a serious matter that needed to be discussed with them. The rest of the race also needed to be reassured.
The elders were the key players, and discussing this with them was entirely appropriate.
"According to our information, the opponent is only at the Heaven Monarch level. This reminds me of the human who rescued the Divine Spirit Race earlier. It's highly likely it's the same person! Their escape ability is top-notch; they vanished from my seal in an instant!" Elder Tai Suo recalled the previous incident, suspecting it might be the same individual.
This time, despite his efforts, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of the intruder before it was over. Unlike the Evil Spirit Domain Lord, who could traverse vast distances swiftly, they had to rely on teleportation arrays.
The Domain Lord could move so quickly because he controlled the core of the Evil Spirit Divine Realm. As the realm's master, he had unparalleled speed.
If they were in a different divine realm, he wouldn't be so formidable. If it had been anyone else, Yi Tianyun would have already destroyed a city and moved on to another.
The Evil Spirit Domain Lord raised his hand, and an image appeared in the void, showing the previous battle with Yi Tianyun. The image clearly displayed Yi Tianyun's appearance, as the Domain Lord had projected his memory for them to see.
"He doesn't seem to be the same person…" Elder Tai Suo shook his head, but after sensing the aura, he added, "The aura is quite similar. Could it be the same person?"
"It's likely the same person, just with a different appearance to throw us off," the Domain Lord said sternly. "It seems they came prepared, making them harder to track down. But I will investigate this thoroughly and find out the infiltrator's background!"
"Anyone who can escape from me at a level below God Monarch must be using a powerful treasure, likely a Heaven Venerable treasure. But a Heaven Monarch can't use a Heaven Venerable treasure unless their master channels their energy into them, allowing temporary control."
No one below that level could use Heaven Venerable treasures, but nothing was absolute. A Heaven Venerable could channel energy into their disciple, allowing limited use. It wasn't sustainable for frequent use but feasible for a few times.
However, this would be extremely risky. If captured, losing a Heaven Venerable treasure would be a devastating loss.
"Isn't that too risky?" Elder Tai Suo asked.
"Do you think there's any other treasure that can escape my Forbidden Black Curtain? Besides a Heaven Venerable treasure, I can't think of anything that could break my seal!" The Domain Lord's voice was harsh.
"That's true. If so, that Heaven Venerable is very generous…" Elder Tai Suo said. "Or they might be extremely confident in their ability to escape, allowing such risks."
Another elder suggested, "Or perhaps the infiltrator stumbled upon a Heaven Venerable treasure and some energy, enabling temporary use."
"That's also possible," the Domain Lord said. "Regardless, we start by investigating the Heaven Venerables of the Third Grade Divine Realms! I want to see who dares to mess with our Evil Spirit Divine Realm!"
He slammed his hand on a nearby stone table, shattering it into dust.
"Yes! Anyone who invades our realm will face our wrath!" They all echoed, their eyes blazing with fury. They would go to any lengths to protect their realm.
Just as they were swearing to find the infiltrator's origins, a message came through their communication jade slips.
"Reporting, elders, an infiltrator is slaughtering in Evil Bind City!"
"What!?"
They jumped up, immediately informing the Domain Lord, "Domain Lord, the infiltrator is back! They're wreaking havoc in Evil Bind City, and if we don't intervene, the city will be destroyed."
A face slap, a heavy one! Just after claiming the infiltrator was dead, they returned, faster than expected, leaving everyone in disbelief.
"What's going on? I checked every detail, every corner, and found no trace of him. How could he suddenly appear? Is his concealment ability beyond my detection range?"
The Evil Spirit Domain Lord didn't waste time. He broke through the space and rushed to where Yi Tianyun was.
Yi Tianyun had learned his lesson this time. Before he could destroy half the city, he used the Teleportation Divine Stone to escape.
When the Evil Spirit Domain Lord arrived, Yi Tianyun was already gone, and there was no trace of his whereabouts!
"Damn it, he escaped again!" The Domain Lord was furious, feeling thoroughly played.
"Domain Lord, the infiltrator is now attacking another city…"
"As expected, that bastard! Arghhh!"
The Evil Spirit Domain Lord was losing his mind, teleporting once again to catch Yi Tianyun. But Yi Tianyun, having calculated the Domain Lord's arrival time, would escape just as he was about to be caught.
He had plenty of Teleportation Divine Stones and wasn't worried about wasting them. By exterminating a large number of Evil Spirit Race members, he quickly replenished his resources.
For him, it was a frenzy of experience points, earning wave after wave, making it easy to reach God Monarch level.
Returning to the days of rapid cultivation, the restrictions that slowed him down before were now gone. He could soar without worrying about tribulations, racing towards new heights.
"He escaped again, that bastard!" The Evil Spirit Domain Lord was enraged, his eyes flashing with dark light. "It seems I must use my ultimate move. If I don't suppress him soon, my entire realm will be destroyed!"
Being taken down by one person was a disgrace, especially for the arrogant Evil Spirit Race.
