Chapter 772: What I Hate Most in My Life is Being Watched
Back in the courtyard, under the protection of two fifth-grade formations, Lu Xuan’s heart relaxed slightly.
With a thought, several streaks of golden Spirit Thunder shot out from within his body, nimbly moving around him.
He then took out the languishing Illusory Husk.
The husk felt a trace of freedom and was about to struggle, but upon detecting the few streaks of purifying Spirit Thunder, which naturally restrained it, it immediately behaved and stayed motionless.
“Lurking outside the cave abode to spy, clearly no good intentions can come from that.”
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, looking at the eerie husk before him that shifted between illusion and reality, and silently mused.
With a thought, a thread of pure Yin Qi forcibly infiltrated the husk.
Focusing his mind upon it, he immediately understood detailed information about the husk.
[Ghoul Hide Shedding, a demonic item, its strength is equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator. Crafted by the Jade-faced True Person who harvested the skins of countless cultivators and refined them using evil methods, it possesses incredibly strong concealment abilities and is difficult for ordinary Jindan cultivators to detect.]
[It can invisibly possess a target, eroding their Divine Soul, and seize control of their flesh body.]
“Ghoul Hide Shedding...”
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
This demonic item before him had a mysterious presence and extremely strong concealment abilities. If it weren’t for his Jindan Mid-term Spiritual Sense, the constant nourishment from the fifth rank Strange Treasure Divine Essence Scroll, and the numerous Spirit Fruits and treasures he had consumed to enhance his Spiritual Sense, he truly might not have noticed its presence.
“Jade-faced True Person, an old acquaintance indeed; wasn’t he the evil cultivator who visited me when I had just moved here?”
An image of a cultivator with a false smile surfaced in Lu Xuan’s mind.
“Leaving such a demonic item outside my cave abode doesn’t make for a good neighbor.”
His lips curled upward as he chuckled coldly.
The thought of the ghoul hide skulking near his abode and the risk of it taking over his embodiment made anger surge within him.
“Lu Mou has always detested being spied upon in my life!”
He huffed coldly. With a thought, a strange grey-white pupil silently emerged from a crack high above and rapidly zigzagged into the distance.
“Let’s first see what this Jade-faced True Person is made of.”
A moment later, the Void Nightmare Eye found the location of the Jade-faced True Person’s cave abode.
A tingling sensation came from Lu Xuan’s palm, a crack spontaneously appeared, and a grey-white eyeball quickly emerged, sharing the vision the Void Nightmare Eye had seen with him. RΑ₦öBÊ????
The Void Nightmare Eye, a fifth rank Strange Treasure, had a concealment ability far superior to that ghoul hide. Lu Xuan also deliberately controlled its distance to avoid detection by the Jade-faced True Person.
The evil cultivator’s cave abode was filled with Yin Qi, protected only by a Fourth Grade Illusion Array, which the Void Nightmare Eye, proficient in illusion techniques, saw through completely in its high vantage.
“The Abyss Star Cave truly is rife with Evil Cultivators, where the two neighbors I happen to meet consider me a fat sheep ripe for slaughter.”
Lu Xuan, far away at a distance of over two hundred miles, internally shook his head.
“Such perverse and deviant influences, we Righteous Path Cultivators...”
“Should actually encourage them!”
He looked at the two Evil Cultivators reflected in the greyish pupils of his palm as if they were prime fertilizer.
“My neighbors store grain while I stockpile weapons; my neighbors are essentially my granary.”
With a thought, both his true form and his avatar swiftly headed towards the location of the Jade-faced True Person’s cave abode, bringing along the Spirit of Flesh.
“Jade-faced Fellow, aren’t you afraid that Ling Gu will detect your illusory husk being placed there for so long?”
Towards the end of their conversation, the dwarf cultivator suddenly asked.
“Fellow Li, rest assured, my illusory husk possesses a potent ability to conceal itself. It is difficult to be detected even by Golden Core Mid-Late Stage Cultivators, let alone an Early Jindan Stage Cultivator,” the Jade-faced True Person said with a smile on his face, full of confidence in the evil creature he had created.
“Now that Fellow Li is here, I’ll make a connection with the Ghoul Hide Shedding. If the timing is right, we’ll pay a visit to that cave abode together.”
“Let’s see what sort of secrets the enigmatic Ling Gu is truly hiding!” The Jade-faced True Person laughed heartily, his mouth stretching down to his ears.
He then closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking deep into his Sea of Consciousness.
“This is bad!”
He abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze half puzzled, half shocked.
“Has something happened?”
Seeing this, the dwarf cultivator’s expression turned serious, and the two tentacles extending from underneath his shoulders began to stir autonomously in the still air, as if preparing to strike.
“I can no longer sense the presence of the husk.”
“Normally, the Ghoul Hide Shedding is synchronized with my mind and shouldn’t lose contact.”
“The connection between the husk and my Divine Soul is profound; if it were destroyed, I would be the first to realize it.”
“If it’s just unable to communicate, then it means that the Ghoul Hide Shedding has been completely controlled by someone else.”
As the Jade-faced True Person spoke, an ominous thought arose in his mind.
“Fellow cultivators, I have found a wandering husk outside my cave abode. Could it be an accidental loss from either of you?”
Suddenly, a hoarse voice reached the ears of the two.
