Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were traversing the dense, primeval jungle, deep within the domain of the ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
They had to be vigilant, their senses on high alert.
Their mission was to locate the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger before Qian Renxue and her group could, and bring it back to the Martial Soul Hall.
This matter was crucial to the future plans of the Pope, Bibi Dong, so there was no room for error.
Occasionally, some short-sighted, carnivorous soul beasts would fix their gaze upon them.
They would then release a little bit of their aura, scaring off all those foolish soul beasts.
Chrysanthemum Douluo walked slowly through the forest with his eyes closed.
He was doing his best to expand his perception, sensing all the soul beasts around them.
As a Title Douluo-level powerhouse of the plant type, his sensory abilities were far superior to those of other Title Douluo.
His senses were sufficient to cover an area within 1.5 kilometers of his location.
Now, within his perception, every movement of all the soul beasts within that 1.5-kilometer radius was clearly felt.
Time ticked by, and half an hour quickly passed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned.
"How is it? Have you found any trace of the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger?"
Ghost Douluo, whose body was shrouded in shadows, impatiently asked before even opening his eyes.
"Old Ghost, can you be quiet for a moment? Do you think it's that easy to sense? If that Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger was so easy to find, the previous five Worship Hall elders wouldn't have fallen so easily."
Chrysanthemum Douluo pouted, his fingers delicately arranged, and replied with a touch of displeasure.
"You've had your eyes closed for over half an hour, and you haven't sensed a thing. How can I not be anxious?"
Ghost Douluo replied helplessly.
"Come on, old ghost, it's not that I don't want to find that Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger, it's just... Huh... Wait!!!"
Suddenly, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned serious, as if he had discovered something unusual.
"What is it? Did you find something?"
Ghost Douluo immediately perked up, quickly asking Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Shhh, be quiet, let me concentrate..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately stopped Ghost Douluo, his brow furrowed tightly, as if concentrating his spirit power to sense something.
Ghost Douluo immediately shut his mouth, remaining silent.
After about a few minutes, Chrysanthemum Douluo opened his eyes, which were filled with joy.
"Old Ghost, I've found it! The three-tailed tiger, it should be it!
The approximate location is in the northeast, 1500 meters away. We must pursue it immediately! We absolutely cannot let it escape!"
Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish speaking, he turned and headed in the direction where he had sensed Ling Yun.
Ling Yun also knew from the original novel that Chrysanthemum Douluo's sensing ability was extremely strong.
He had easily sensed that Dai Mubai had consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and also sensed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red Xiao Wu carried.
So, considering Chrysanthemum Douluo's strong perception abilities, he had to remain highly vigilant at all times.
Otherwise, he might not be able to use someone else to kill his targets, but instead be captured by them, which would be awkward.
Ling Yun's perception wasn't as terrifying as Chrysanthemum Douluo's, but soul beasts possessed superior senses of smell and hearing compared to humans.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo got within a kilometer of him, he could smell the scent unique to humans.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were injured.
Under the special smell of blood, Ling Yun would be able to know their whereabouts from several kilometers away.
However, unfortunately, they didn't have any injuries at the moment, nor were they bleeding.
Therefore, Ling Yun didn't have an advantage in terms of perception at this time.
After sensing the auras of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo entering, he didn't hesitate. He immediately turned and ran, heading deeper into the forest.
His first target to cause trouble for was an eighty-thousand-year-old Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard.
This Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard wasn't actually a top-tier soul beast.
At most, it was a high-level soul beast. If Ling Yun wanted to, he could take on five of them at once.
It was just that Ling Yun thought it would be a hassle to deal with it himself.
It would be better to let these human lackeys take care of it for him; that way, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Ling Yun's sudden escape caused Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression to change: "Eh, not good..."
Ghost Douluo looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Is there something new?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's face was grim.
"No, the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger is running away. It seems to have sensed that we're after it, so it's making a quick escape..."
"Then let's pick up the pace. Whatever the esteemed one wants, we can't let it get away!"
Ghost Douluo, shrouded in shadows, suddenly accelerated.
In terms of speed, he was far faster than Chrysanthemum Douluo, and soon the two had opened up a distance of dozens of meters.
After a fierce chase, Ling Yun sensed that Ghost Douluo was getting closer to him.
Now, the distance was less than 500 meters.
But it didn't matter. He had now entered the territory of the Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard.
The Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard, an eighty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, shared a lineage with the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger as a feline soul beast.
Upon Ling Yun's entry into its territory, the Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard immediately sensed the intrusion.
It rushed out of its cave, eager to confront Ling Yun and defend its dominance over the area.
Ling Yun, however, had no interest in a duel with the Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard.
Sensing the beast's emergence from its cave, he leaped into a thicket of bushes.
Utilizing the dense foliage for concealment, he transformed into the liquid of the leaves and branches.
He then suppressed his aura completely, remaining motionless, like a stagnant pool of water.
In this way, Ling Yun vanished from the perceptions of both the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo, as well as from the sense of smell of the Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard.
"Huh..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was a bit bewildered. How did the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger suddenly vanish from his perception?
That didn't make sense! How could such a bizarre thing happen?
Ghost Douluo, who was running ahead, had also lost his perception of Ling Yun, but he didn't stop.
Instead, he came to the bushes where Ling Yun had disappeared and searched around, but he couldn't find the vanished Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger.
Just like Qianjun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo before.
Ghost Douluo wouldn't have thought that the liquid on the leaves and branches could actually be the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger they were desperately searching for.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo caught up, the two of them stared at the bushes, which were nothing but leaves and branches, and were dumbfounded.
"What do we do? Did we lose the Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger?"
Ghost Douluo's voice was low as his eyes flicked towards Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo also looked bewildered, shaking his head slightly.
"You ask me? Who do I ask? I've lived for the better part of my life and I've never seen such a strange thing.
The Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger was right in our grasp, and then suddenly gone. If we go back to the Pope's Hall, Her Eminence will surely scold us to death…"
Just as they were looking at each other in dismay.
The Cloud Stepping Demon Leopard, sensing humans had invaded its territory, appeared before them, letting out an enraged roar.
"Awooo…"
