Chapter 418: Dumbfounded

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ning Pusheng manipulated the Sky-Searching Mirror, and a hazy beam of light emanated, enveloping everything within a radius of several dozen meters.

Several other individuals from the Heavenly Sun Mansion standing nearby felt discomfort as the light from the mirror fell on them. They furrowed their brows and eventually avoided the light.

Under this light, it seemed as if people were stripped bare, with no secrets left, and even their innermost thoughts were exposed.

Ning Pusheng connected his consciousness with the Sky-Searching Mirror, perceiving every inch of this places fluctuations.

The Sky-Searching Mirror was a top-grade spiritual tool. Even with the Heavenly Sun Mansions heritage, top-grade spiritual tools were rare, to the point of being extremely scarce. Among them, most were weapons, and functional top-grade spiritual tools like the Sky-Searching Mirror were incredibly rare, like a solitary sprout.

It wasnt that the Heavenly Sun Mansion couldnt afford top-grade spiritual tools; it was just that there were hardly any transactions involving top-grade spiritual tools. Unlike high-grade spiritual tools, which were occasionally traded, even in places like the Imperial City, records of top-grade spiritual tools being bought and sold were few and far between.

Most of the top-grade spiritual tools within the Heavenly Sun Mansion were crafted at a great expense and nurtured for countless years before they gradually took shape.

Of course, there were also top-grade spiritual tools obtained after destroying other sects, like this Sky-Searching Mirror.

This mirror could examine even the tiniest details, and the Heavenly Sun Mansion had used it for many years, almost never failing in its endeavors. Only when it involved Combined Aperture Tempering realm would they encounter obstacles.

The one who intended to kill Tao s.h.i.+ye was most likely not in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and might not even have reached the Peak Aperture Tempering realm. Thats why Ning Pusheng was so confident in relying on the Sky-Searching Mirror to locate the person.

However, as time pa.s.sed, there was still no sign under the Sky-Searching Mirror. Ning Pushengs expression changed slightly, and the others from the Heavenly Sun Mansion beside him exchanged puzzled glances.

The Sky-Searching Mirror was here, and it had been less than an hour since they started searching, yet they still couldnt detect the persons presence. This seemed rather exaggerated.

Reveal!

Ning Pusheng shouted loudly, and his consciousness surged into the Sky-Searching Mirror. With this power, the light on the mirrors surface instantly intensified, making it difficult for anyone to keep their eyes open.

Ning Pusheng had already pushed the power of the Sky-Searching Mirror to its limit. If they still couldnt find any trace with this level of effort, then it might be impossible to find the person.

At that point, even if Ning Pusheng felt unwilling, he would have to accept the outcome.

Hum!

Under the pillar-like light from the mirror, a faint ripple suddenly flashed through the air.

The others watching couldnt help but brighten their eyes. The net of heaven is wide and meshes finely; no matter how well you erase your traces, eventually, youll reveal your tracks.

Thinking about this, the people from the Heavenly Sun Mansion couldnt help but smile.

It had always been the case that when they wanted to kill someone, no one could trace it back to them. When someone from the Heavenly Sun Mansion was killed, they were powerless to do anything. It seemed that this pattern wouldnt change.

Ning Pushengs lips curled slightly as the Sky-Searching Mirrors light s.h.i.+fted and captured the faint trace of breath, presenting it before Ning Pusheng.

Ning Pusheng had genuinely thought that they might not find any leads. The faintness of this breath was to such an extent that, without the Sky-Searching Mirror, even Ning Pusheng himself might not have been able to detect it.

How faint was this breath?

It was probably several times weaker than that left behind by a single ant!

Go!

Ning Pusheng formed hand seals, and the Sky-Searching Mirror rotated, pointing in the direction to the right rear. Ning Pusheng was slightly taken aback. Although this direction didnt point directly to the Imperial City, it wasnt too far from its location.

Had this person intentionally returned to the Imperial City area, trying to hide in plain sight?

Killing someone from the Heavenly Sun Mansion and then hiding right under their noses not many people would have the audacity for such a thing. This person must have believed that the Heavenly Sun Mansion wouldnt be able to catch them.

Ning Pusheng sneered and, with a swift movement, followed the guidance of the Sky-Searching Mirror and charged in that direction.

In reality, with the Sky-Searching Mirror in hand, he could have directly searched for Tao s.h.i.+yes aura since Tao s.h.i.+yes high-grade spiritual sword had disappeared and was undoubtedly in the possession of the culprit. However, just now, even under the Sky-Searching Mirror, he couldnt detect Tao s.h.i.+yes aura, indicating that it had been completely concealed. This forced Ning Pusheng to s.h.i.+ft his focus.

Fortunately, the current outcome was favorable. Once Ning Pusheng caught up to the person, he wouldnt kill them immediately. Bringing them back to the Heavenly Sun Mansion, they had plenty of ways to make that person experience what true suffering was!

Ning Pushengs figure darted forward, with the others from the Heavenly Sun Mansion trailing far behind, ready to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Twenty li away, Sheng Renyuan lay motionless on the ground, and standing beside him was an Aperture Tempering realm cultivator from the Heavenly Sun Mansion, Ni Peisheng.

Sheng Renyuans eyes were filled with despair. His cultivation had been sealed, and the Heavenly Sun Mansions people had already arrived. Now it seemed there was no way out.

What Sheng Renyuan hoped for now was to encounter Chen Fei in the Heavenly Sun Mansions dungeon. Only if both of them were captured, suffered together, and faced an uncertain future could Sheng Renyuan find some psychological balance.

In his heart, Sheng Renyuan cursed Chen Fei continuously. Suddenly, he felt a weight on his chest, and an immense aura descended from the heavens. What made it more critical was that this aura was firmly locked onto him.

Senior Brother Ning? Ni Peisheng was somewhat surprised to see Ning Pushengs sudden arrival.

Ni Peisheng knew about the unexpected situation with Tao s.h.i.+ye, and he knew that Ning Pusheng had gone to deal with it. However, why had Ning Pusheng suddenly come here now? His expression also appeared extremely grim..
