Chapter 232: Disappearance and fear (2/?)
Just as he finished applying the vanishing powder over his cloak, he disappeared not only from the eyes but even from the senses of the people surrounding the place.
He truly disappeared at that moment.
In the meanwhile, in a tree far away from that place, the trio of the new alliance was gathered and looking at the situation.
Even though that pressure terrified them, and that this guy's presence might be a bonus to them, they nonetheless wanted to give it a try.
If they could kill him, then they could remove Qin Bao from this whole deal, and at the same time look at the face behind that cloak.
They hadn't been able to react earlier due to their stun, but after meeting each other and discussing once again, as the big brothers of the deal, they discovered that it was the same for the three of them.
Now they were curious at the face behind that cloak.
Someone with a fairy-like voice should be a fairy even in appearance. This was their line of thought. Thinking anything else it meant thinking a heresy.
Seeing each other after their alliance, all three of them had a smile that wasn't a smile on their face.
The first to break that silence was Young Master Qing Fang,
Qing Fang:" Well I see that you two think the same as me gentlemen, Young Miss Qin Bao was too greedy, and we need to test his strength don't we?"
But Jiao Wen didn't seem to hear his words in the least and just said,
Jiao Wen:" Hahaha Young Master Qing Fang don't pretend like you aren't here for the fairy."
Hearing his words Young Master Qing Fang was a bit taken aback, it was true that he was here for the fairy, but that was a secondary target.
His first was that cloaked guy, who embarrassed and put him in a bad situation. He had never felt such humiliation and powerlessness.
That was why he wanted to get back at him with the same, or worst. To kill him under his feet.
Old Luo didn't seem to really like this conversation, he also seemed attracted by the fairy, but first things first, what were their chances of winning this fight.
Thinking like this, he asked with a mocking tone,
Old Luo:" So how are you two youngling's so sure that you are going to take that fairy when that guy is around?"
Hearing his words Young Master Qing Fang, and Master Jiao Wen said almost at the same time,
Jiao Wen& Qing Fang:" Easy, because he won't be!"
Hearing them being so confident on their prediction, Old Luo was a bit surprised but after thinking for a moment he said,
Old Luo:" Oh!? How can you be so sure!? Don't tell me that you invested your treasures in this?"
Now it was the time for the duo to be surprised, but that was understandable. The higher-ups of the big organizations all had their treasures.
This time it was Young Master Qing Fang's who answered him,
Qing Fang:" Well, yes I did Old Luo, and I am sure that Master Jiao Wen did too. What about you? Did you give your precious mirror to your people?"
Old Luo was surprised and terrified at the same time. EITS's information was terrifying, they had knowledge over a lot of secrets. But he didn't give himself and just said calmly,
Old Luo:" Well yes I did Young Master Qing Fang, as you know that mirror just blocks someone for a period of time, and I thought it would be useful against that guy."
Even though Old Luo was an experienced, old man there were times where he couldn't control himself. Even though he was calm now, he was already wishing with his soul for Tianlong Yun's death.
There were two reasons for that.
First, that cloaked guy humiliated him in the face of the other two. To Old Luo his honor was everything, he had killed so many servants in his place just to keep his honor untouched.
The second was because of the fairy. Even though he managed to hide it well, Old Luo was more than infatuated with that voice.
His feelings of possession and lust were more than the other two at this moment. Especially, after he felt that excitement from his bloodline being in front of her.
It was like his bloodline was rejuvenated just by being beside her.
From Tianlong Yun he felt clear tyranny, but from here even though the feeling of pressure existed, his bloodline excitement made him ignore that.
But while they were thinking about the beauty of the fairy, and building their sandcastles, that cloaked guy suddenly disappeared from their senses.
At first, they thought it was a mistake, and probably they had been too distracted at a moment. It wasn't possible for someone to disappear like that.
But after a moment they discovered that it was unfortunately true, that cloaked guy had disappeared in the air. There was no sign of him.
Controlling the fear that started raising inside them, but even their excitement, because according to them, there was only one possibility for this to happen, and that was that guy's death.
The three of them at the same time started to communicate with their underlings and ask for the situation. The first one to do so was Master Jiao Wen,
Jiao Wen:" Li Qi what's happening over there? How is it possible that he disappeared from our senses?"
Li Qi, on the other hand, was extremely startled at that news, that was why he asked with a surprised, high pitched voice,
Li Qi:" Master Jiao Wen, he disappeared from your senses too?"
Jiao Wen didn't understand why this guy would be so surprised since they should have killed him already. He had given them that treasured knife for a reason.
The knife was a low-grade mortal realm treasure he had been entrusted by the organization. That knife could be controlled through spirit power and was able to blend with the environment.
A perfect assassination tool.
But returning to the present, Master Jiao Wen didn't understand his meaning, or hoped he understood it wrong and said,
Jiao Wen:" What do you mean, Li Qi? What happened over there?"
On the other side of the communication, Li Qi didn't dare be late a second more, and immediately started to explain,
Li Qi:" Earlier he got out of the main entrance walking slowly, and then threw a look towards our hiding places. We all thought it was because of his spirit sense.
Then a moment later he disappeared from our eyes, like a ghost. But soon we found out that he had not only disappeared from our eyes but even all the sensors.
No one can track him, or even find out where he is. Please be careful Master, you better retreat and wait for news, I don't like this situation."
Hearing these words Jiao Wen's world seemed to have turned upside down. Perhaps they had been too hasty and too lusty and had unfortunately hit a steel mountain with their feet.
The same conversation was happening with all three of them, even Old Luo and Young Master Qing Fang who seemed calmer were brewing a typhoon inside of them.
They truly hated him, all three of them hated him to the bones. But, at the same time, they didn't want to die.
Their life was the most precious thing for them.
Humans are like plastic balls the more you pull them, the more they want.
The same thing was happening to all three of them, they were cultivators who could live for hundreds of years, so dying here was stupidity to all three of them.
Dying was out of the question.
But, escaping and running seemed a bit too much. They couldn't do such a thing, especially seeing that the other two were here.
They had to pretend to be strong even if they weren't in the faces of the other two. But soon their resolve was being placed under test.
Returning to the past, after totally disappearing from the view, Tianlong Yun started running towards the places where he had seen his ants hide.
He wasn't in a hurry, he had all the time in the world. That was why he didn't immediately go and kill them all, no he went close to them without being noticed to try and discover something.
Approaching their hiding places wasn't difficult, and since nobody could see him, or sense him, the pressure was on them.
The psychological pressure of having a powerhouse on their tracks, knowing that they were here to kill him, was a terrifying feeling.
Their fear was like a bad virus, entering their brains, bones, and heart and spreading there at a tremendous pace.
Every second that passed the fear grew bigger and bigger.
The group that Tianlong Yun had approached was a three-man team, hidden in the bushes. It was clear that the trio was on the edge.
The pressure was too much for them.
Seeing them like this, Tianlong Yun decided to play a bit with his 'food'. Taking some small tree branches, he started throwing them behind the trio.
Hearing that tree branch behind them, all three of them, immediately jumped from the bushes and punched on different sides while screaming loudly.
They couldn't see their enemy, so the best they could do was try their luck and gather attention, for their friends to come and help.
At the same time three big holes were created on the ground, one for each of them.
From the wave signatures coming out of them when they punched, Tianlong Yun could understand that these three were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
But he wasn't scared or anything, he just stayed there, looking at their anxious and panicked faces. They were facing an invisible enemy after all.
At this time though
