534: Chapter 387 534: Chapter 387 Yet Great Powers are always Great Powers; even without using their eyes, by sensing with their perceptions, they could still seek out each other’s location.
However, his golden king had cast its net without his control, and failed to bring anything back within the Black Mist.
The Great Power Holders all felt perplexed, having never missed their mark before, yet today they had failed once again.
The observing elders were also somewhat at a loss, the sudden disappearance of the adversary didn’t seem possible to have occurred by flight.
With their keen senses, they could detect the scent of someone flying away even if they were hundreds of miles distant.
So what spell could make a flying ship vanish right before their eyes?
Previous observations had already revealed that flying ship and its two puppets were out of the ordinary.
They had watched only hoping to learn of the situation when the young man was being controlled by the other party.
Unexpectedly, without taking any action, they had lost the opportunity, and there was a slight regret that just now they had not used their superior numbers to defeat the weaker, the old bullying the young.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine an elder would fail against a youngster.
The elder who had just dealt with the young man had no face to save, even if others did not know his identity, his peers around him did!
If word got out, his thousand-year reputation would crumble, and he’d become the butt of a grand joke.
Great Power Holders, the elders, could neither see the ship nor the two puppets they had encountered earlier.
The elders were convinced that the young man and the ship had not gone far, assuming the puppets were taken aboard amidst their inattention.
As long as they hadn’t left, there was a chance to capture the young man.
Beyond seizing objects of desire, they were eager to learn of the young man’s identity, curious about which family had nurtured such a formidable youngster.
When Ye Tian rendered the flying ship invisible, he also conveniently retrieved the two puppets.
He had no intention of letting his painstakingly crafted puppets be smashed into pieces by others.
When he collected the robots, he discovered that although they weren’t destroyed, some of their functions were damaged.
Not to mention the paint on their bodies was also much depleted; for now, he could only repair the two robots first.
The flying ship couldn’t go far, and at this moment, it could only play a waiting game with the opposition.
Ye Tian hoped that these elders wouldn’t be so idle as to spend days and nights, or even longer, contending with him.
If they did, it would be even more troublesome when he inevitably had to ask for help.
Ye Tian hadn’t expected that taking just a few days off, in order to meet with Yan Weiwei, wouldn’t involve directly seeking Jiang Tang.
He had no regrets about crafting a gift for Yan Weiwei, but now lamented not activating the Array, ending up tracked and hunted by so many Great Powers.
Ye Tian was aware that the Deception Spell he had employed could only fool these Capable Beings for so brief a time.
He had to use this short time to repair his Magical Treasure and prepare for battle, but before that, he had already sent a distress message to Jiang Tang.
He didn’t send the message to his family because he didn’t want to involve them in risky endeavors—one person trapped was already enough.
After further thought, if he were to waste his vacation and failed to return to the Capital City as expected, he would need to communicate with his father first.
Young General Ye still sent a message to his father, not disclosing the true situation, fearing his father might send even more family members to assist, which would only lead to their demise.
He simply reported being delayed halfway by a task assigned by the King, unsure of its successful completion; if he couldn’t handle it in a few days, he hoped his father could see it done.
Upon receiving his son’s message, General Ye wanted to inquire about what exactly had detained his son midway, only to have the communication abruptly cut off.
His accomplished son never talked that way unless he was truly in a serious predicament; for minor issues, he would handle them with the help of friends and would never even notify his father.
General Ye panicked and asked the intelligence personnel, only to find out that none of them had received Young General Ye’s distress signal, nor did they know his whereabouts.
In his anxiety just now, General Ye had not considered that when the communication equipment was used, the recipient would know the sender’s location.
The Patriarch of the family had left home, and he did not dare to ask his father to leave again, so he could only notify the ancestor, informing him of his son’s location, and asking where the ancestor might be.
One of the Great Power Holders, who was watching the show among about a dozen others, received the message from the younger generation.
The location mentioned by the junior was exactly where he was.
“Patriarch, I am at the location you mentioned.
What does your son look like?”
The Patriarch did not recognize the young people in the family, unable to tell which generation the junior belonged to, since they did not look alike.
Jiang Tang had not displayed the Cultivation Technique he practiced within the family, so to anyone using Divine Sense to scout him, he would appear as a young man.
The Patriarch hadn’t considered this, and Jiang Tang, in order to conceal his identity, had first sent puppets into battle.
Life comes only once; after being reborn, there might not be another chance for rebirth.
With Great Power Holders present, those who were ruthless could make it so he wouldn’t even become a ghost, let alone become a Ghost Cultivator, all relying on luck.
This was the helplessness of someone with low cultivation; Jiang Tang thought that by working hard to this extent, he already stood out among the young people.
With so many puppets at hand, even if a few peers with similar skills besieged him, they wouldn’t get any advantages.
But his luck was too bad this time, encountering a Great Power Holder two major steps higher in cultivation, and such a level of cultivation could only be found in the family’s old Patriarch.
Had the Cultivation World suddenly produced a dozen such powerful beings?
Could it be that there are not just a few dozen, but many more hidden individuals in the Cultivation World?
Patriarch Ye, having heard the description provided by the junior, realized that it sounded just like the young man he had seen on the airship through his Divine Sense.
“Haha, I have seen your son; I know, the Patriarch will help him!”
General Ye was somewhat puzzled; his son’s message was so gravely toned, yet the Patriarch seemed quite delighted.
Could it be that he was mistaken?
General Ye did not realize that he wasn’t mistaken; he simply was unaware of the reason for the Patriarch’s happiness.
Looking at the cut-off message, he couldn’t fathom the reason, leaving him only to have the family’s intelligence agency check what was happening at that location.
Despite the possibility of his son being in danger, General Ye could not rush to the rescue, as his duties in the Imperial City were far greater.
Since Jiang Tang’s last return to safeguard the Imperial City, the family’s pressures had eased significantly.
It couldn’t always be his father taking on tasks.
Having managed the family affairs for many years, now with a son and nephews grown up, he had hoped to hand over the family responsibilities to the younger generation so that the elders could retreat peacefully for cultivation.
Last time, Jiang Tang had brought back Supreme Elixirs, to which the family’s elites and highest Capability Beings each received a share, except they forgot about the Ancestor in seclusion.
In light of the limited quantity of Supreme Elixirs, with so many in the family unable to receive one, upon the Patriarch’s emergence from seclusion, Jiang Tang frankly informed him.
Almost half a month had passed since the Patriarch left, with no message sent back to the family.
They had thought the Patriarch had gone into secluded cultivation again, but for his son’s sake, he had to disturb him.
Upon receiving the junior’s message, stating his son was at his own location and describing him, Patriarch Ye laughed heartily, not saying much, but giving firm assurance to the junior.
Patriarch Ye and those old fellows were old friends; in their youth, the competition was fierce.
Perhaps there were minor grievances, they were both friends and competitors.
This time, the competition for energy had intensified, but he believed that others, knowing it was his descendant, would think twice.
Thinking about this, the Patriarch intended to play the kinship card with his old friends, urging them to spare his junior.
And as for that energy said to belong to his descendant, perhaps they could negotiate and distribute a portion of Energy Stones to these old fellows.
Suddenly, he remembered the young man who had stopped in front of the North City Immortal Sect gate, which those two old fellows thought was their own descendant.
Could it be that people from his family need to seek experiential training at the Immortal Sect?
Although somewhat skeptical of this outcome, he had to ask first, feeling that those old fellows were as uninformed as himself.
