Chapter 2490: Had He Been Discovered?
In order to stay under the radar, Kun Xueyi re-took his human form as he continued his journey in the air. He enjoyed how the wind caressed him and the freedom that he had from traveling at such speeds in the air.
The mythological creature was on his way to reunite with Di Fuyi and tell him about the successful completion of the task assigned to him. Eager to share the news, he took out his directed audio spell and tried to contact Di Fuyi. Aside from sharing the good news, he was also wondering if Di Fuyi was suffering from the predicted outburst of spiritual power in his body.
The call was not answered the first time, so he tried again. After a while, someone finally picked up the call. Kun Xueyi eagerly spoke, "Master, I have not let you down. I kept Yun Yanli occupied for 16 hours! Before I left, I even exposed his plan publicly to the people of Leguo City. I believe that he will be busy taking care of the mess there and will not have time for us. By the way, have you managed to overcome the matter related to the overflowing spiritual power in your body? You must stay strong and wait for me to return." It was clear from the tone of his voice that he was proud of his achievement.
"Kun Xueyi?" The voice of a woman replied.
Kun Xueyi was stunned, and his heart sank a little. He was often sent away from secret missions and would only contact Di Fuyi when absolutely necessary. Moreover, the directed audio spell was a very private item, so Di Fuyi would not usually give it away to someone else. What had happened?
In a more solemn tone, he asked, "Miss Gu? What happened to the Devil King?"
"He has gone into an isolated retreat," she softly said. She did not mean to lie, but some things should not be told over a call.
Kun Xueyi’s mouth was ajar for a moment, for he could not believe that Di Fuyi would isolate himself at such a time. It did not seem like what Di Fuyi would normally do. Moreover, he was with the woman whom he needed to protect, so it did not make sense for him to abandon her.
