Chapter 2355: Soul Tracking Mark
Ning Shu shook off the two cultivators and chased in Yi Liang’s direction.
As she ran, she smelled the faint smell Yi Liang left in the air.
The two cultivators, meanwhile, had just finished dealing with the water dragon made of spiritual energy. The thin-faced cultivator cursed, “Shit! That damned beast got away.”
“What’s the hurry? I left a soul tracking mark on that child. He won’t be able to escape,” the long-browed cultivator said lightly. He was in no hurry at all.
“Senior Brother really thinks of everything.”
The two of them then flew after Ning Shu and Yi Liang.
Ning Shu had to run a long way before she caught up to Yi Liang.
When Yi Liang saw her, he hugged Ning Shu and started crying. He grabbed Ning Shu’s neck tightly and cried, “Xiao Hei, I thought you’d never come back. You scared me to death.”
Yi Liang had left Ning Shu behind so he had felt both worried and guilty. Now that he was reunited with her, he couldn’t help but cry.
Yi Liang’s current feeling was the same as that of the original Bai Sanniang. To receive help did not necessarily feel any better than giving it.
Ning Shu was really tired now. Her body was also sore. She whispered to Yi Liang, “Let’s go. I’m afraid they’ll chase after us.”
“Okay.” Yi Liang wiped away his tears. Seeing Ning Shu’s shaking limbs, he hugged her and said, “I’ll carry you while I run.”
Ning Shu didn’t object. Muscles all over her body were aching like crazy. Every step she took felt like she was walking on a knife. It’d be better for Yi Liang to carry her.
Yi Liang carried Ning Shu on his shoulders and quickly ran.
After running for a long time, they’d actually gone quite a far distance away. However, Ning Shu’s danger alarm was only ringing stronger and stronger.
After going through so many transmigrations, she’d developed some level of sense for danger.
“Stop,” she said.
At least one of them was probably being tracked. Cultivators had a lot of special techniques, and it was difficult to guard against all of them.
“What’s wrong?” Yi Liang asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked at her body and didn’t see any marks. Her body was clean.
Ning Shu looked at Yi Liang. She put her claws on his body and released a trace of energy that wandered around every corner of Yi Liang’s body.
Finally, she found something like a mark on the back of his neck. Her energy turned into a dragon-like shape, swallowed the mark in one bite, then isolated it.
“I can’t sense the mark anymore.” The long-browed cultivator who had been following after them closely frowned and stopped.
“If the cultivator’s level isn’t as high as mine, they wouldn’t be able to undo the mark.” The long-browed cultivator looked a little concerned.
“Who is it that’s messing with us?” said the thin-faced cultivator, who was annoyed. “Then, should we chase after them or not?”
“If the cultivator’s level is too high… We might offend that person if we continue chasing after them like this. If that person’s a crazy weirdo, we might just end up losing our lives, too.” The thin-faced cultivator was concerned.
“No matter what, we can’t give up those two flame fruits.” Whether they were eaten or sold, they were each worth a considerable fortune.
In the end, the two cultivators decided to continue chasing after them.
Ning Shu frowned. Her spiritual energy could only isolate the mark. It couldn’t completely destroy it.
She had no choice but to slowly melt it away with her spiritual energy, but who knew when that process would be completed?
It was like they were carrying a ticking time bomb.
“What’s wrong?’ Yi Liang touched the back of his neck and asked Ning Shu.
“Someone placed a tracking mark on you. It was probably those two cultivators,” Ning Shu said honestly.
Yi Liang’s eyes widened. He quickly touched his neck. “Really?”
“We’re not in danger, for now. Let’s leave first,” Ning Shu said.
