Martial Master

"This person possesses a precious treasure that can shield the Seven Aperture Spirit Ball," the HongYan Martial Emperor gritted her teeth and said.

"A treasure that shields the Seven Aperture Spirit Ball?" The man dressed in black scoffed, "Waste is waste, making so many excuses."

"You..."

The HongYan Martial Emperor was infuriated, and with a roar, a terrifying killing intent erupted from her, causing the heavens to tremble and the void to shake, her murderous aura cutting through the air.

If it weren't for the fact that the Palace Master had instructed her to collaborate with this group of people, with her temperament, just based on that sentence, she would have already slain the opponent.

"Is it not so?" The man in black coldly snorted, "In such a short time and at such a close distance, you allowed him to escape. If that's not waste, what is?"

"You are outrageous."

The many disciples of Piao Miao Palace all erupted in fury, coldly staring at the man in black, their gazes enough to wish to tear him apart.

"Enough, stop the noise." The HongYan Martial Emperor sneered, "Yes, we are waste. But if it weren't for your loss to the opponent in the soul battle, would Luo Mengqi have died? How could the opponent have escaped? If we are waste, you share some of that blame as well."

Upon hearing this, the man in black's expression subtly revealed his anger, the cold air around him oozing through the void.

But eventually, he snorted, speechless.

"Feifei, how did this person manage to escape? With your group possessing the Spatial Compass, you couldn't stop just one person?" The HongYan Martial Emperor angrily looked towards Tian Fei and her group.

"Reporting to Master Hong Yan, this person possesses a technique that shields the Spatial Compass..." Tian Fei Martial Emperor then explained how Qin Chen had continuously split his spatial aura into avatars earlier.

"What? There's such a thing!"

The HongYan Martial Emperor's eyes narrowed.

"Is it the Void Shadow Separation Technique?" she murmured.

The Spatial Compass is also one of Piao Miao Palace's treasures for searching spatial auras. In this world, avatar techniques are innumerable, as many powerful cultivators can create True Essence avatars during combat to confuse and ambush their enemies.

But techniques capable of distorting the aura of a Spatial Compass are rare.

The most famous among them is the Void Shadow Separation Technique from the Xuanyuan Empire.

"Master Hong Yan, are you suggesting that the person from earlier is from the Xuanyuan Empire?" Tian Fei Martial Emperor and the others' expressions turned cold.

The Void Shadow Separation Technique is the signature movement technique of the Xuanyuan Emperor. It is rumored that this technique was passed down from his good brother, the Breaking Dust Martial Emperor Qin Chen, and is one of the top movement techniques on the continent, capable of creating lifelike illusions.

If the opponent employed the Void Shadow Separation Technique and evaded the Spatial Compass's tracking, it wouldn't be surprising.

"All factions qualified to enter the Ancient Yu World are top-tier forces in the Martial Domain, but there are few whose powers can evade the Spatial Compass's search. The Xuanyuan Empire indeed has that potential."

The HongYan Martial Emperor's tone was icy.

The expressions of Tian Fei Martial Emperor and the others contained a hint of anger as they coldly remarked, "Xuanyuan Empire, hum!"

"Now that we let that person escape, it won't affect our plans, right?" The HongYan Martial Emperor turned to the man in black.

"Impact our plan? You think too much." The man in black grinned menacingly, "Aside from us exposing a bit, it won't affect the plan at all. After all, breaking this restraint requires attracting other forces to help, heh heh, heh heh heh."

The man in black let out a chilling, bizarre laugh.

"What exactly is in this restraint?"

"You'll know when the time comes," he cackled, "But what I can reveal in advance is that within this restraint lies a great opportunity, one that can allow your esteemed self to break through to the Martial Emperor realm. At that time, you will surely be grateful to me."
