Chapter 410 Ch 410: The Pendant
╠ Land of Thousand Gold ╣
A group of Masters of Chaos could be seen in a heated argument, wearing puzzled expressions on their faces.
The strongest among them, a Level 10 Master of Chaos, held a compass in his hand. However, at this moment, the needle of the compass was rotating continuously, unable to determine a specific direction.
"What is happening? Everything was fine just now, but the Heaven Guiding Compass suddenly started behaving strangely. What could be the reason?"
"There could only be two reasons. Either the compass is broken, or Ling Xiaolong has left the Land of Thousand Gold. This compass only works when we and our target are on the same land. Once the target leaves the Land, the compass stops working."
The man holding the compass pondered for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "There's a third possibility as well. What if Ling Xiaolong somehow managed to block the detection ability of the compass?"
As he spoke, everyone fell silent.
Someone then raised a question, "How could that be possible? We have been chasing after him for so long. We haven't given him an opportunity to find a way to block the detection ability of Heaven Guiding Compass after all."
The Level 10 Master of Chaos spoke thoughtfully, saying, "I believe he must have found a way to block the detection ability of the Heaven Guiding Compass. We haven't given him an opportunity to find a Merchant Ship to leave the Land of Thousand Gold. Even if he has a personal flying ship, once he crosses the boundary of this Land, we should be able to immediately sense it, thanks to the Azure Curtain we've deployed to cover the sky of this Land."
Everyone was silent for a while.
After a while, someone asked, "Then what should we do?"
The Master of Chaos holding the compass sighed and spoke, "We could only chase after him in the direction he had left. Let's use our entire force to look for him. We must catch him no matter what."
Others nodded their heads and then disappeared.

╠ Land of Luminous Essence ╣
Ling Xiaolong entered the Sage's Treasure House and directly asked the attendent whether this Treasure House had a treasure that could block people from pinpointing his location.
The attendant was surprised at first, but then he soon came back to his senses and brought Ling Xiaolong directly to the third floor.
Because Ling Xiaolong had already stated what he needed, it was not difficult for the attendant to show Ling Xiaolong a few treasures. Among them, a small pendant caught his attention.
When he asked, the attendant told him that this pendant was refined by a Weapon Craftsman who was once being chased by several Masters of Chaos because he had stolen a blueprint to create a Heavenly Mystery-ranked weapon called the Mirror of Myriad Worlds.
In order to stop them from spying on his location, he created the pendant. Years after, this pendant was passed down to the later generation of his family. In the end, it somehow ended up in the Sage's Treasure House.
This was the perfect treasure for Ling Xiaolong's current situation. He did not ask anything about the Weapon Craftsman who created this pendant or what happened to him in the end.
Ling Xiaolong just didn't know that this pendant would become the reason for his succession one day.
Ling Xiaolong did not have Essence Crystals. He had already used them up in his cultivation before.
He decided to pay with Mystic Crystals.
Fortunately, the Sage's Treasure House deals with Mystic Crystals as well. He paid a billion Mystic Crystals to buy the pendant.
After that, he wore the pendant and immediately felt an invisible layer of energy slowly emerging from the pendant and covering his body. This invisible layer of energy could block the detection ability of any treasure.
Feeling this energy, Ling Xiaolong knew it worked. He heaved a sigh of relief and left the Sage's Treasure House.
Then he entered the Mysterious Space of the Infinity Symbol and used the Gate to return to the Land of Thousand Gold.

╠ Land of Thousand Gold ╣
"Am I a fool?"
Not long after Ling Xiaolong returned, he immediately started to doubt his intelligence.
"I could have stayed in the Land of Luminous Essence until it was time to board the Grand Void Merchant Ship. Why did I return here?"
Indeed, it was a viable option. He just didn't give it much thought before deciding to come back.
In reality, he could still return to the Land of Luminous Essence and spend the remaining time there. However, since he was already back, Ling Xiaolong decided to stay.
"Anyway, they can no longer detect my location. Moreover, I don't want to keep running from them. If possible, I'll hunt them down one by one. Let them come to me!"
If they approached him individually, he was confident in even injuring a Master of Chaos at the 3rd Level with the assistance of his personal Chaos. The issue was that they always came in groups whenever they confronted him.
Ling Xiaolong released his Divine Sense and sensed the previous caravan once again. His figure then flashed, and he appeared not far from the caravan. However, he did not immediately approach it. He silently watched the caravan from afar.
It was a caravan with two large carts of goods pulled by several powerful Chaos Beasts. There was also a slightly luxurious carriage in between.
There were more than a dozen people in the caravan, each of them carrying a weapon.
Among them, there was a man with a big scar on his face who stood out the most. He looked rough and fierce, but he was the only one who didn't carry a weapon. The others looked ordinary, and it would be hard to notice them in a crowd. However, each of them carried a weapon, and they looked like a group of mercenaries.
Ling Xiaolong followed the caravan for two hours. He was cautious and did not want to fall into any trap. He just kept observing them.
After two hours, he felt that the people in the caravan were mercenaries. They should be escorting the scar-faced man.
After confirming this, he was ready to go forward and ask them to give him a ride. These past few days he had been teleporting continuously. Although he had taken a rest previously, the entire day of continuous teleporting, and then visiting the Land of Luminous Essence and coming back dried him of his stamina.
Teleporting one or two times, even ten times was ok. However, continuously was not an easy task. Continuous teleportation became a huge burden on him, making him tired.
Ling Xiaolong slowly approached the caravan.
After walking for a few hundred meters, when he walked past a big tree, suddenly a change occurred. In the blink of an eye, several cold weapons appeared in front of Ling Xiaolong. Their speed was very fast, and they stopped at his neck in an instant.
Four people appeared from the dark, and two of the four weapons were at his throat.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Xiaolong was stunned. He had clearly released his Divine Sense previously but never detected these people.
What is going on?
Ling Xiaolong's expression became flustered.
"Speak, who are you, and why are you following us?"
A middle-aged man walked out from behind the tree. He looked very ordinary, but Ling Xiaolong felt a dangerous aura from him.
Now Ling Xiaolong had even killed a Master of Chaos. He was not that easily frightened.
However, just a glance from this middle-aged man was enough to give him a dangerous aura. This could only mean this middle-aged man was powerful enough to heavily hurt and even kill Ling Xiaolong.
Ling Xiaolong's heart jumped when he carefully sensed the aura coming from this man's body. His aura was restrained. He seemed to be using some sort of skill to restrain his aura. But he was actually a powerful Master of Chaos at Level 4.
The four people next to the middle-aged man were all Masters of Chaos as well.
"This team is strange."
In such a small team, there were five Masters of CHaos. Ling Xiaolong no longer thought that these people were just mercenaries. This was all a disguise, and their strength was very strong.
These five people were from the caravan. Ling Xiaolong did not care about them before, but at this moment, a sword was at his throat. He could not help but care now.
"I'm not following you. I just want to go to the next city but I don't know the way. That is when I saw the caravan. I came here to see if you can give me a ride."
Ling Xiaolong spoke.
"Humph, you were sneakily following us for two hours, just to go to the next city?" The middle-aged man snorted as his eyes became cold.
"This…"
Ling Xiaolong's face was full of astonishment. It turned out that these people even sensed him following them from the very beginning. How did they do that?
