Chapter 538: Caught in an Ambush 🥷

Published: November 30, -0001

In fact, the initial thought of the Blood Demon Sect was to quickly find the person who left traces to see if it was Qin Chen.

However, after tracking for half a day, they discovered that the opponent's speed was simply too fast. Despite their hard work, they could barely keep up, feeling frustrated as they followed.

After two days, not only were they exhausted, but they hadn't even seen the opponent's appearance.

But they couldn't give up and could only follow closely, not willing to part ways.

At this moment, Qin Chen was still in the forest, continuously setting up formation flags. So far, he had no idea how many formation flags he had placed, but it was estimated that there were at least hundreds hidden in the entire forest.

It wasn't until he had nearly exhausted all the materials for refining formation flags in his storage ring that Qin Chen finally stopped.

However, he still didn't dare to let his guard down, because he knew very well that since the opponent dared to pursue him, they must have a way to deal with him. Qin Chen didn't believe that those powers with only early-stage Wuzong cultivators would target him. Not to mention they lacked the capability, they should know about the strength he had displayed in the Ancient Southern Capital. Even if early-stage Wuzong managed to catch up, it would only be a death wish.

But since the opponent was still targeting him, they must have absolute confidence.

In the face of life-and-death crises, Qin Chen dared not be the slightest bit careless.

Just as he stopped refining formation flags, a faint fluctuation suddenly came from the distance.

It had indeed arrived.

Qin Chen immediately understood that it should be the monitoring formation flags he had set up around that had activated, indicating that someone had passed by the formation flags he had laid down.

Before Qin Chen could react, he saw a black figure rushing towards him like lightning.

The moment Qin Chen saw the figure, the cloaked person also spotted him instantly, letting out an excited laugh: "Hahaha, my efforts have not been in vain. I actually caught up with you! It seems the heavens are good to me, hahaha."

After seeing Qin Chen, the cloaked person, who had been exhausted for two days, finally relaxed, standing more than ten meters away, looking at Qin Chen with a cold sneer, as if a cat was playing with a mouse.

Ever since encountering Qin Chen in Wu City, he had been played with by Qin Chen far too many times. Previously, in the Ancient Southern Capital, he was even forced to be Qin Chen's servant for a while, dealing with several powerful figures from Xuan Zhou. Now, surrounding Qin Chen again brought him immense satisfaction.

"It's you... how did you find me?"

Seeing that it was the cloaked person who had been following him, Qin Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

He had considered that the one tracking him might be the cloaked person, but he couldn't understand how the opponent had locked onto him. However, just as his words fell, he saw the cloaked person raise a hand, and a very fine black thread rapidly entered his sleeve.

Although the speed of the black thread was incredibly fast, too quick for the naked eye to catch, Qin Chen's mental power had already identified that the black thread was actually a very peculiar bug.

It was actually a Spirit Seeking Bug?

Qin Chen was shocked. The Spirit Seeking Bug was a type of blood beast, ranking very high on the list of extraordinary insects. In terms of strength, it couldn't compare to the Qi Devouring Ants that could devour true energy, but the greatest ability of the Spirit Seeking Bug was its acute sensitivity to various auras, even capable of easily locating many treasures.

Upon seeing the Spirit Seeking Bug, Qin Chen realized why the opponent could find him. They must have remembered a certain aura from him or something he possessed. However, he had been very careful; even while traveling, he had set restrictions on himself, ensuring that no aura would leak. Even the Spirit Seeking Bug shouldn't be able to sense anything. How had they found him?
