Chapter 1089 Location Of The Unknown Beast

Chapter 1089 Location Of The Unknown Beast

"Guardian, we have a guest… someone of your stature." The Ancestor spoke. "It is King Lin Wu." She introduced.

lights??vel The Gui spirit finally opened its eyes and saw Lin Wu.

And the moment the two looked into each other's eyes, bloodline resonances happened. 

The Gui Spirit was frozen in place, while a giant figure of Lin Wu appeared in its mind and easily suppressed it with the sheer presence of its bloodline.

~gasp~

It abruptly roused from its stupor, feeling terror within its heart. 

"Leave us!" The Gui Spirit ordered.

"Yes, guardian!" The Ancestor and Patriarch replied, letting them have some privacy.

~shua~

Once they were gone, Lin Wu spoke.

"So you are the Guardian spirit… You seem to be much weaker than the other two." Lin Wu spoke and showed the illusory images of the other spirits.

The Gui spirit looked at them and realized that Lin Wu had indeed met them.

"I had to use up too much of my power to protect the clan. The Glacial Gui Dome is not something I can use easily." The Gui Spirit stated.

"So that's why the Gui clan was so hard to find." Lin Wu finally understood why his and the system's senses were unable to get through it.

It was literally the power of a guardian beast!

"What have you come here for?" The Gui Spirit asked.

"To help of course." Lin Wu replied. "I am here to get more information about where the unknown beast could have gone. I'm sure you have more information than the other clan members." He stated.

"Help? Why would you help us?" The Gui spirit asked.

"Because it's my duty as the Disciple of the Taiji Celestial!" Lin Wu declared.

"The Taiji Celestial!" The Gui spirit clearly recognized the name and knew what it entailed. "If it's you… then it just might be possible." It muttered.

"Exactly. Now tell me where that unknown beast could have gone." Lin Wu asked again. "I know you guardians can sense the entirety of the continent if you put your mind to it." 

"Yes… but if I do that I'll go into an uncontrollable slumber. I won't be able to defend the clan." It stated.

"You won't have to worry about that. I'll be here to defend it. Just do your best and try to sense where it is." Lin Wu gave his word.

~huu~

"Very well." The Gui spirit decided to trust Lin Wu.

After all, Lin Wu had already proven his reliability and power. If not him, then who?

The Gui clan didn't exactly have too many options at this point. If Lin Wu helped them out, they might be able to avoid any more of their members dying.

~HONG~

The entire body of the Gui Spirit glowed as a wave of energy spread from it. The wave of energy extended at a blinding pace and covered the entirety of the Gui Continent in just a couple of minutes.

The eyes of the Gui spirit turned hazy as it sensed all the beings within the continent.

'It's energy is certainly being drained fast… For a skill that has better range and sensitivity than the system's, guess it makes sense that the energy drain is great.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He waited in silence for a couple of minutes, before the Gui Spirit finally spoke.

"Found it!" The Gui Spirit shouted. "I never thought it would hide there…" it said in disbelief.

"Where is it?" Lin Wu asked narrowing his eyes.

"That beast is hiding in a forbidden area I sealed thousands of years ago. It is filled with baleful energy and can wear down anything that enters it. Even Dao Treading realm cultivators will get exhausted before getting sick and dying a horrible death." The Gui spirit answered. 

"Give me its location. I'll handle the rest." Lin Wu said, having a few thoughts about the forbidden area.

~SHUA~

The Gui sprint then transferred the exact location into Lin Wu's mind, allowing the system to pick on it.

"I'll… Leave… the rest… to you." The Gui spirit said before it returned to the statue.

~shua~

All the runes disappeared and the temple returned to its normal calm state.

With the Gui spirit sleeping, Lin Wu was now free to act.

"System, where's our target at?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

MAP UPDATED: New location has been added: Bale Dread Valley!

NOTIFICATION: Plotting route to Bale Dread Valley!

——

Lin Wu glanced at the map window and saw that the Bale Dread Valley was at the far northern edge of the Gui Continent.

'Didn't we pass by here?' Lin Wu realized.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Gui spirit sealed the area in a similar Glacial Gui dome like the clan and as such it was undetectable by the system.

——

"Hmm… makes sense." Lin Wu nodded. "That unknown beast can use Spatial abilities. It can probably just bypass the defenses that the Gui spirit set up. It might also be how it managed to enter the Gui clan earlier." He muttered to himself.

Lin Wu was sure that similar to him the Unknown Beast also seemed to be consuming different beasts and materials. The beast's presence in the Gui clan was definitely due to the Purple Crested Orchid.

'Perhaps it was also consuming the poison here and intended to eat the plant, but the Gui clan found it before that.' Lin Wu reckoned.

Whatever it may be, Lin Wu knew he'd be finding out more soon enough.

"Let's head out." Lin Wu said before leaving the temple.

"King Lin Wu," The Ancestor and the Patriarch met him.

"I'll be leaving right away. The Gui Spirit helped find the location of the unknown beast. I'll get rid of it and also deal with the Calamity Fiend if I come across it." Lin Wu stated.

"We'll be grateful for you, King Lin Wu." The Patriarch said while cupping his hands.

"It is fine. This is merely my duty." Lin Wu said with a slight smile. "Come, Tim. We got a beast to hunt." He called.

"KILL!" Tim shouted with excitement.

~WHOOSH~

The two beasts quickly flew out of the Gui clan.
