"Old Six, are you sure it fled in this direction?"
"Mm." The Abomination Douluo kept a grim face and nodded.
"Then what now? Which direction did it run off to?"
"I can't sense it anymore." The Abomination Douluo shook his head. "But from what I could tell, it seemed to be heading straight toward the sea, probably toward the west."
"But that place…" Myriad Soul Douluo looked westward and spat viciously. "What rotten luck."
"Before, the Cult Master had us clean up the battlefield, but those people's souls disappeared who-knows-where. So many corpses along the way, yet not a single soul was left for me to take."
"Now we finally come across something so rare, and it runs off to the Sun Moon Empire's side."
The Abomination Douluo stood to the side, quietly listening to Myriad Soul Douluo's complaints. Snowflakes like goose feathers drifted down, piling up a thick layer on his broad shoulders.
Suddenly, he jerked his head to look in one direction.
"What's wrong, Old Six? Did you notice something?" Myriad Soul Douluo sensed the Abomination Douluo's reaction and followed his gaze, but all he saw was a stretch of low mountains with no movement whatsoever.
"There seems to be some kind of trace left over there."
"Really?" Myriad Soul Douluo glanced over from afar, reached out, and a black great banner appeared in his hand. "Let's go take a look."
"Alright."
The Abomination Douluo nodded and took the lead, striding forward.
As the two drew closer, their expressions grew even more serious. Not only the Abomination Douluo, but even Myriad Soul Douluo could now see signs of someone having been active at the foot of the mountain.
Although the constant heavy snow in the far north had covered some of it, they could still make out footprints left by someone on the accumulated snow.
The only good news was probably that there weren't many footprints; it seemed only one person had been in the vicinity.
"Who's there?"
Myriad Soul Douluo looked at the footprints in the snow, suddenly raised his head, and a black figure appeared on the mountaintop. Before he could see clearly, that figure swiftly descended the mountain toward them.
"Greetings, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder."
"You—"
After seeing the newcomer's cultivation level, Myriad Soul Douluo relaxed slightly. It was only a Soul Emperor; in front of him and the Abomination Douluo, they couldn't stir up any trouble.
But upon hearing her words…
"You're a disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Replying to Elder, yes. This disciple was previously under the Eighth Elder and studied at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy."
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy?" Myriad Soul Douluo's face darkened even further upon hearing this, and he immediately lost interest in saying more. "Hmph."
"I recognize you." The Abomination Douluo beside him spoke in a deep, muffled voice. "I remember you represented the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in the elite competition."
"Indeed, it was this disciple."
"Then what are you doing here? Have you seen Old Eight recently?"
The person who appeared before Myriad Soul Douluo and the Abomination Douluo was naturally Nana.
Back when Lin Xiao headed deep into the far north, she had thought long and hard here and ultimately decided to stay behind.
With her current cultivation, she had no way to live normally under the Sun Moon Empire's pursuit and encirclement. Moreover, Lin Xiao's guidance during those days made her feel that he didn't seem like an evil soul master at all; instead, he was more like a teacher from the academy. Cultivating by his side didn't seem bad.
However, shortly after she had just set up a place to stay here, she sensed the approach of Myriad Soul Douluo and the Abomination Douluo.
No matter how much she resisted in her heart, she knew that in front of two Titled Douluo, she had no choice. It was better to take the initiative and come forward using her previous identity as a Holy Spirit Cult disciple.
"Eighth Elder…" Nana paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of Myriad Soul Douluo and the Abomination Douluo. Seeing them staring at her intently, she understood that this brief hesitation was already enough to arouse their suspicion.
But recalling what Lin Xiao had said before, she still chose to change her words. "After this disciple escaped from the Sun Moon Empire, I fled all the way here and have not seen the Eighth Elder."
"Could Old Eight have also fallen victim to the Sun Moon Empire's poisonous hands?"
Nana had already prepared herself to be questioned thoroughly by Myriad Soul Douluo and the Abomination Douluo. Yet what she hadn't expected was that the two of them showed no suspicion at all toward her answer; instead, they seriously began discussing Lin Xiao's whereabouts.
Seemingly noticing her slight surprise, Myriad Soul Douluo turned to look at her. "What? Do you have something else?"
"Yes… Elder, this disciple has a place to stay here. Would you two like to…"
"Forget it." Myriad Soul Douluo waved his hand. "We still have other matters to attend to. By the way, since you're here, did you notice anything passing by just now?"
"Anything?" Nana was puzzled.
"Perhaps a person, or maybe a soul beast or something."
"No." Nana shook her head.
It had to be said that the hiding place Lin Xiao had found for her was quite good. Not only was it rarely visited by people, but over the past few days, even soul beast traces had been extremely scarce. Aside from being a bit cold, it was an exceptionally safe refuge.
"Then where could it have gone?" Myriad Soul Douluo muttered to himself, then turned to the Abomination Douluo. "Could your senses have been wrong?"
The Abomination Douluo offered no further explanation and simply shook his head.
"Fine, let's go look again." Myriad Soul Douluo spoke, glanced at Nana once more, opened his mouth, but for a moment didn't know what to say.
During the great battle in Heaven Dou City, he and the Abomination Douluo had been following Zhong Liwu's orders to clean up the battlefield, which was how they narrowly escaped the Sun Moon Empire's pursuit.
Although they hadn't been surrounded by the Sun Moon Empire's army back then, after news of the Holy Spirit Cult spread, they still learned what had happened in Heaven Dou City.
According to the Sun Moon Empire, both Zhong Liwu and Feng Ling had perished. Even as Titled Douluo and evil soul masters, they no longer knew where to go.
Perhaps they would have to wander again, like before joining the Holy Spirit Cult, searching for cultivation methods. Compared to Nana, their only advantage was probably their slightly greater strength.
"Forget it." Various thoughts flashed through Myriad Soul Douluo's mind. He merely left behind one sentence before turning to leave.
The Abomination Douluo stared at Nana for a moment, then likewise followed Myriad Soul Douluo into the wind and snow.
"Those faithless people of the Sun Moon Empire actually forced us, brothers, into such a state."
Myriad Soul Douluo's voice rang out again amid the cold wind. "From now on, I'm afraid there will never be another place like the Holy Spirit Cult for the two of us to settle down."
As his voice faded, the Abomination Douluo beside him remained silent for a long time. Myriad Soul Douluo glanced over and saw only the Abomination Douluo pressing forward against the cold wind without any intention of replying, lost in his own thoughts.
"Forget it. What's the point of me saying all this to a walking corpse like you?" Myriad Soul Douluo shook his head. "We'll talk about the future later. First, let's find that soul beast."
