Chapter 1384: Cooperation
As the tip of the brush descended, the Earth Spirit Book shook soundlessly, and a great yet formless power washed out to the surroundings.
A mad gale suddenly started blowing in the sky, the mountains and rivers quaked unsteadily, and the earth shook like an earthquake.
The many “unknowns” on the Earth Spirit Book abruptly squirmed like living objects. They slowly formed the sentence: “Ye Qing is currently at Wei.”
Triumph colored the trio’s expression, but before they could even relish in their victory, the Earth Spirit Book suddenly caught on fire, and the brush in Yue Hanhai’s hand crumbled into nothing.
“Pwack! Dammit!”
It was impossible to say if it was the result of pure outrage or the backlash from the destruction of the Earth Spirit Book. In any case, Yue Hanhai spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at the top of his lungs.
“Ye Qing must possess an item that shrouds his threads of fate. He must bear incredible karma as well. The Compass shows that he is west, but it cannot show his exact location.”
Xuanyuan Wang was holding an ancient luopan, but the indicators on it were different from normal. Instead of the Eight Trigrams, the Five Phases, or the four cardinal directions, it showed mountains, rivers, and the four realms instead. At the center of the luopan was a ladle pointing toward the west.
The luopan’s name was Compass. Just like the Earth Spirit Book, it was a Strange Artifact used to search or track down someone. All it needed was the target’s name to pinpoint their location. However, just like the Earth Spirit Book, the Compass could only show a rough direction. It could not narrow things down any further than “west”.
“I am unable to divine his location either,” said Haotian Hong with a gloomy expression. An expert in heavenly divination, he could theoretically use the rivers of fate to divine any living being in the world. And yet, all he could divine at the moment was pure chaos.
“The Earth Spirit Book says that he is at Wei, and the Compass says that he is westward. This proves that Ye Qing is in Wei right now.”
Xuanyuan Wang declared eagerly, “Let us head to Wei right now.”
