Chapter 207: One more update
The mysterious figure in black was not in a hurry as he walked, with each step he took, the pressure emanating from his being imperceptibly spread in all directions. Although it was broad daylight and hard to notice, as the stranger in black drew closer, Yin He increasingly detected the aura emanating from him.
In fact, from the moment the mysterious figure in black appeared, Yin He had already noticed, just like a black dog that hadn’t bathed in months, the stench was unbearable.
But Yin He didn’t plan to take this mysterious figure in black seriously, his expression so calm it was as if he hadn’t even noticed the other’s existence.
The closer the mysterious figure in black got, the more despondent he became.
They had shuttled back and forth between Nanzheng and the Northern Border dozens of times, returning without success for years. This time, he had sensed the unusual aura emanating from this youth.
However, the dark energy of the Northern Border had a direct connection to the Ghoul, dealing with the Devil’s Path. If someone was from the same path, they would be able to feel it directly.
Although this kind of aura could be concealed, the Young Master had been wandering outside for so long without the chance to learn their Ghoul Ravine’s secret techniques, so the likelihood of him hiding it was not great.
There was also a possibility that the Young Master’s abilities far exceeded his own, and if that were the case, he wouldn’t be able to detect it either—only someone of a higher level could discover it.
But the mysterious figure in black felt this was also improbable—it wasn’t out of arrogance. Having lived for fifty years and considered a top expert in Ghoul Ravine, where his presence meant no worms or grass would grow, he thought it minuscule that the Young Master, despite his strong Ghoul lineage, could surpass him in ability at such a young age without having practiced from childhood within the Ghoul.
Therefore, although the youth in front of him displayed some unique ability for a moment, in the next he could no longer catch it. It was so fleeting it almost made him doubt his own senses. Still, the mysterious figure in black didn’t want to give up too soon—whether it was countless years of futile struggle or his firm belief in his judgment not being an illusion.
Today, he was determined to test and see for himself. If it was indeed their Young Master, no one would stop him from taking the youth away. If not, then the life or death of this person was of no concern to him.
