Chapter 895: Brocade Handkerchief and Silver Silkworm
Han Li glanced at the receding figure and felt that Silver Moon, who had transformed into his own appearance, now had an aura indistinguishable from his own. He couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
It seemed this woman's illusion technique had advanced yet another step!
"Senior, do you think Silver Moon's illusion mastery can fool the senses of those two behind us? If I'm not nearby to verify in person, there's probably an eighty to ninety percent chance they won't see through it," Han Li suddenly asked.
"Your artifact spirit is no ordinary one! Not just you, even I find her illusion transformations hard to discern. It's as if she grows stronger when facing a strong opponent, and weaker when facing a weak one. As for those two young ones behind, without that sacred beast causing trouble, they definitely won’t be able to tell the real from the fake anytime soon," Great Yin Divine Lord gave Han Li an ambiguous answer.
Han Li was speechless. That answer didn’t reassure him in the slightest.
Changing direction, he swiftly fled in the opposite way from Silver Moon.
Of course, Han Li had no idea that by having Silver Moon carry part of the golddevourer worms with her, she had coincidentally used the right method.
Seeing the person ahead suddenly split into two and escape separately, the purple-haired beauty and the silver-robed woman dozens of miles away exchanged a glance and stopped their light-speed flight.
"What’s this? An avatar technique? Even the aura and spiritual energy strength are identical. That kid really has quite a few tricks up his sleeve," the purple-haired beauty brushed her hair from her forehead and clicked her tongue in admiration.
"Too far apart to use spiritual awareness to tell the real from the fake. Let me have the sacred beast check," the Saintess of the Heavenly Waves said, troubled.
Then the Saintess muttered a few words in ancient language to the Heavenly Wave Beast beneath her. Instantly, the beast’s blue spiritual light flickered unpredictably, and its pair of cattle horns gradually turned transparent and crystal-like, dazzling to behold. But after a moment, a scholar’s howl came through, and the silver-robed woman, who had received the answer through spiritual awareness, changed expression slightly.
"This is trouble. They likely know we are tracking the golddevourer worms by their aura. Both of them carry the worms. This person must have split the spiritual insects into two parts. Even the sacred beast can’t distinguish between them."
"So, not a single one of these two can escape," the purple-haired beauty raised her brows slightly.
"No problem! We’ll each follow one. Now that we’re so close, this little tactic of splitting up won’t help him anymore. Since he deliberately wants to divide our strength, we’ll teach him a lesson. It would be an insult to his efforts otherwise," the silver-robed woman sneered coldly.
"True enough. But I heard his cultivation base is just mid nascent soul stage, yet his magical abilities are not much weaker than our late nascent soul stages. And he’s injured, so even if you encounter his true body, it won’t be a problem. I’ll chase the other. As long as he doesn’t use that ghostly escape technique again, I expect we'll regroup soon," the purple-haired beauty said, still somewhat worried.
"Master Sun, rest assured. That bloody escape technique is strange, but it clearly comes at a heavy cost. Otherwise, he would have long since left us without a trace if he could use it repeatedly. He must be cornered now. Besides, I have the Sacred Cauldron to protect me. Absolutely no problem," the silver-robed woman smiled proudly.
"In that case, I’ll go first," the beauty laughed lightly, then transformed into a purple light and chased after one “Han Li.”
The Saintess of the Heavenly Waves glanced at the other Han Li, and with a flash of cold light in her eyes, also drove her sacred beast to pursue.
…
"They really split up. Han kid, your division trick is quite effective. Looks like that sacred beast merely fragmented its spirit to come to this world, so it’s not yet something to fear. But if you can’t kill that Heavenly Wave Beast in a very short time, once the sealing time ends and those two great immortal masters return, it’ll truly be a dead end. Also, that Saintess of the Heavenly Waves is probably not easy to deal with," Great Yin Divine Lord said in a rare tone of concern.
