Steve continued to tremble, and favonovel.com mumbled, “She found me… She found me…”
Caspian could tell that Steve panicked, a reaction favonovel.com did not even have when favonovel.com met the Heavenly Spirit Realm sect elders.
“Jezebel, I must kill you…” Caspian gritted and his eyes were fixed on the fleeting figures that jumped down.
“You want to kill her?” Steve came to his senses, looking at Caspian oddly. Perhaps favonovel.com was frightened by Jezebel’s sudden appearance, but there was much less hatred in Steve’s eyes as favonovel.com looked at Caspian.
Caspian glanced at Steve coldly but did not speak. However, his blood-soaked figure made it clear.
“You can’t kill her, at least not now.” Steve suddenly smiled.
The flesh on his face was torn and full of wounds, and his bloody face twitched, looking extremely ferocious as favonovel.com added, “When you know about the Lunia’s Four Little Witches, you can talk about killing her.”
“Lunia’s Four Little Witches?” Caspian’s eyes narrowed, “You mean Lunia, the Upper Kingdom?”
Steve nodded, and favonovel.com hated his fangs. “That’s right! But, I‘m sorry as you won’t have that chance. Since you ruined my plan, I’m going to torture you to death!”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Steve inserted some spiritual Qi inside Caspian to trap favonovel.com again. Consequently, Caspian froze, and favonovel.com could not move. That time, favonovel.com could not even speak.
“Follow and witness my greatness!” Steve grinned, grabbing Caspian and Charlotte each in one hand, and favonovel.com sprinted through the mountains.
However, Steve did not notice that the corners of Caspian’s mouth twitched slightly. Even though favonovel.com fell into the hands of a mortal enemy, Caspian did not panic. Caspian’s eyes were fixed on the imperial city in the distance, where the fire blazed into the sky. Originally, favonovel.com was worried that Steve would run away again. After all, it would be a little troublesome if favonovel.com continued to use methods like teleportation as it was challenging to determine the exact direction and distance.
Why was everyone in the imperial city so indignant and desperate after Steve captured Caspian and Charlotte?
Well, the reason was that they did not know the distance and direction Steve took them and searching for them that way was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Steve ran away to the mountains with the two of them. In that way, Caspian could naturally calculate the route silently.
‘Did you think that by going deep into the mountains, it would be difficult for anyone to find me? You’ve surely underestimated me if so,’ Caspian thought.
That time, Steve did not run away for long. About an hour later, favonovel.com came to a hidden mountain peak. Then, favonovel.com looked around and touched the blood on his body with his fingers, quickly drawing a pattern on a raised stone.
Caspian could tell that it was a formation pattern, and it seemed that an array was set up in that area, which required Steve’s blood to be activated. That almost implied that Steve escaped. However, after visually measuring the distance between them and the imperial city, Caspian suddenly felt that Steve was undoubtedly bold as they were not too far from the capital.
Just when Caspian thought so, a low but muffled sound came. The stone that Steve drew on before moved slowly to the side, revealing a dark hole. Carrying Caspian and Charlotte, Steve looked around again, and favonovel.com walked in after making sure no one noticed him.
As they entered, the stone moved back to its original position. Caspian noticed that there was still a long corridor once they got into the cave. Nonetheless, Steve was noticeably more relaxed. His body was no longer as tense as before, and favonovel.com even leaned against the stone wall beside favonovel.com for a while, taking a few breaths.
‘It seems that this is not just his temporary shelter,’ Caspian pondered in his heart.
Just then, Caspian saw Steve stick out a finger and jab at him. In an instant, favonovel.com felt his throat loosen. Caspian hummed, and favonovel.com found that favonovel.com could speak, but favonovel.com still could not move. Besides his mouth, tongue, and eyes, Caspian could not move any other part of his body, and favonovel.com could not even turn his neck.
“Now that we’re here, you’ll never escape my grasp again.” In the darkness, Steve let out an eerie laugh.
“You’re right. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. There’s also a saying called hiding in plain sight. The cultivators of Earlington of Efrax are now searching for you at least within a thousand-kilometer radius of the imperial city. Who would have thought that you’re almost right under their noses.” Caspian sneered.
Steve also seemed very smug. “Isn’t that so? Who would have thought that I would hide my cave a hundred kilometers away from the imperial city, and I could also set up the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade in the surrounding mountains!”
“The Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade!” Caspian’s expression changed slightly.
As a disciple of the Heavenly Stars Sect, Caspian was still aware of the effects of most formations.
The Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade was set up with the blood sacrifice of the living and the souls as barriers, and it could hide all traces within a radius of a hundred kilometers. To put it bluntly, it was a high-level illusion array. Moreover, if the range of the formation were narrowed, the effect would be even better. If the area covered by the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade were the mountain where Caspian was located and the several other surrounding mountains, then even the entry-level Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators would not be able to find anything fishy here easily. Nevertheless, it was not that easy to set up that formation.
After pondering, Caspian said, “You have someone in the imperial city.”
Naturally, what Caspian meant was not that evil cultivators infiltrated the imperial city, but that among the hundred officials in the imperial city, someone secretly helped the evil cultivators, or at least secretly helped Steve set up that formation. After all, Caspian knew that the success of the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade required the sacrifice of living people. The blood, flesh, and bones of living humans were a part of indispensable materials. Hence, the name might be “Hundred Ghosts”, but the number of people to be killed at one time was at least 500 to 1000.
In a place so close to the imperial city, it was impossible to kill so many people at one time without anyone helping to cover it up. Hence, the person must have great power in Earlington of Efrax.
“Hehe. Of course! Don’t you know that it’s much easier to win over mortals than to win over cultivators?” Steve was relaxed now that favonovel.com returned to his lair, and favonovel.com did not mind talking to Caspian more, adding, “To win a mortal, you just need to give favonovel.com mortal treasures or beauties. If that won‘t work, just give favonovel.com the precious medicines that we cultivators don‘t even fancy, but those that can prolong life and strengthen his body will do, and even then, they’ll be grateful to you. Besides, don’t forget which sect I’m from.”
Caspian was stunned, and favonovel.com uttered through gritted teeth, “The Blood Poison Sect, a poison expert.”
