Chapter 89: Finding Zhou [2]
Yu Xuan stepped onto the familiar glowing circle. The intricate runes beneath his feet began to light up with flowing spiritual energy, humming softly as the formation activated. He exhaled slowly, centering his mind.
With a final flash of light, the world around him dissolved and a heartbeat later, he reappeared in another town, the teleportation’s afterglow fading behind him.
The air here was slightly cooler. The streets quieter. And ahead of him, the search for Zhou began.
When Yu Xuan arrived at the teleportation platform on this side, he found it nearly deserted — only a handful of disciples loitered around the transfer point, either just arriving or preparing to depart.
Without paying them much attention, he pulled out his ordinary medallion and activated its tracking function, trying to locate the man known only as Zhou.
The coordinates quickly lit up, he now knew that the destination was a short distance outside the town’s boundaries.
Just as Yu Xuan turned to leave, one of the disciples nearby took notice.
The disciple’s eyes narrowed when he saw the ordinary-grade medallion in Yu Xuan’s hand and the fact that Yu Xuan was alone.
A slow, predatory smile spread across his face.
Without a word, he tapped his medallion and sent a message, then a conformation message came to him. In his mind, this was nothing short of a windfall, a fresh sheep walking straight into the wilderness, alone and unaware.
Because there was always someone ready to play the role of a wolf.
Completely oblivious that the plot, was taking it’s course for the first time, Yu Xuan studied his medallion, adjusted his direction, and began walking out of town toward the marked coordinates.
