Chapter 1281 - Divine Bloodline
Night had already fallen when Liu Wuxie stopped and looked around. For the first time, doubt pressed in on him, and he couldn't tell whether his solution could save the elven saintess.
The members of the divine race had always been the ones seeking him out. This time, however, it was the other way around. He executed his footwork technique and sped into the distance.
"Ancestral Tree, come out!" Liu Wuxie said.
He had run out of solutions and could only summon the Ancestral Tree, using its aura to draw the divine race over. The mountain range stretched too vast; if he kept searching like this, he would probably not find any divinekin for days.
Summoning the Ancestral Tree was probably not the best method, but it proved to be the most effective one.
The Ancestral Tree appeared and answered. The tree swayed continuously, signaling activity from the divine race a thousand miles away. Liu Wuxie stood quietly at the mountaintop and waited for them to arrive.
Strangely, they stopped at a distance. Suspicion took hold among them that he had revealed the Ancestral Tree's aura on purpose to lure them in. When things became abnormal, a trap usually waited ahead. The divine race possessed high intelligence and a deeply suspicious nature.
He knew they wouldn't approach rashly as long as they couldn't be sure about traps. He smiled bitterly because his method proved too effective, drawing a large number of divinekin while also making them wary.
They lingered far away, likely waiting for more divinekin to gather.
Liu Wuxie knew he couldn't wait. If hundreds of divinekin arrived, the one who would die would be him. He had to move before they massed, end the fight quickly, kill a few, and save the elven saintess.
He had deliberately moved ten thousand miles from the cave and taken care not to leave any trace. He locked onto a region where the divine aura felt weaker, and within it, several familiar auras pricked at his memory. Curiosity rose. He had to investigate the source of that familiarity.
He executed his footwork technique and streaked through the sky like a comet, a long shadow trailing behind him. He crossed a thousand miles in fifteen minutes, and the sense of familiarity only grew stronger.
