Chapter 1509: Angry White Robe Demon Master

Alas, his optimism would prove to be unfounded. He quickly realized that things weren’t going nearly as smoothly as he thought it would.

For starters, the two thieves seemed to possess some sort of Strange Artifact or secret art that could conceal their auras and fates. On top of that, they seemed to be incredibly well-versed in the art of escaping, making his divination skills completely useless. The only thing that worked was his soul chasing art, and it worked poorly.

How poorly, you might ask? He couldn’t sense shit as soon as the traces were beyond a certain range.

What could he do? He could only brute force it. Like a dog, he was forced to search everywhere just for a trace, follow the tracks for a bit, lose them, then search for a trace again.

It went without saying that it was a painfully slow task. This state of things would continue for four months straight, and he almost completely lost track of them several times in the middle.

In the end though, his efforts bore fruit. He was finally able to identify their hiding spot. Naturally, he was feeling quite violent and irritated at this point.

White Robe Demon Master opened his mouth and exhaled a gust of clear wind from his mouth.

When the wind blew across the seawater, moonlight descended from above even though there was no moon in the sky.

As moonlight descended, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou’s silhouettes appeared on the sea surface. However, they were blurry and indistinct.

The next moment, their silhouette rode the Cloud Boat toward somewhere.

If Ye Qing was here, he would discover that the silhouettes were going the exact same way they were going.

“The wind knows my mind, the moon illuminates my heart.” This was White Robe Demon Master’s Magia, “Know My Heart”. Through a gust of wind and a ray of moonlight from the nine heavens, he could manifest a formless will and illuminate an enigmatic vision via his sincere desires.

The Magia was steeped in the Way of Fate and boasted immeasurable potential. It was thanks to this art that he was able to track the duo to their current location.

White Robe Demon Master followed behind the two silhouettes for a bit. Suddenly, a gap appeared underneath his feet, and he found himself falling downward uncontrollably.

“A Star Rift!”

White Robe Demon Master growled and tried to escape. However, countless rays of light suddenly burst out of the rift, shattering or folding or extending or mixing space. The interior of the Star Rift was also filled with dreamlike light.

Like a leaf caught by a gust of wind or a duckweed dragged helplessly by the water currents, White Robe Demon Master could do nothing but be dragged away by the currents. Forget escaping, he strayed farther and farther away from the exit until he was gone.

After White Robe Demon Master disappeared, the flowing light in the rift slowly disappeared, and the rift itself mended back to normal. Seawater flowed past it, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Over two hours later, a deafening boom suddenly erupted from the bottom of the sea. Waves washed across the sea surface, and a man abruptly appeared above the sea.

It was White Robe Demon Master.

Right now, White Robe Demon Master was surrounded by violent energies. Titanic waves were summoned into existence even though there was no wind, and the waves transformed into a hand when it crashed down on the sea. It caught a Stranger who just jumped out of the sea firmly in its grip.

The Stranger was massive and shaped like a fat pig. It had a pair of wings and a single horn growing out of its forehead. It did not look dumb or cute despite possessing cute features. On the contrary, it looked fearsome, violent, and deadly.

It was the Pig Grandmother Dragon. It was powerful and vicious because it possessed the bloodline of a dragon. It was one of the scariest Strangers living in the Sea of Stars.

Right now though, the powerful Pig Grandmother Dragon was unable to break free from the palm made of seawater. It looked as helpless as an insect.

“You dare offend me?” White Robe Demon Master growled before crushing the Pig Grandmother Dragon to pieces. Its scattering blood and gore burst into pale white fire and covered the sea surface in pale white flames when it made contact.

The colorful, starry sea actually began losing its color as the pale white flames continued to burn. Even the creatures and Strangers living in the sea were losing their color and becoming empty, blank, and dead.

In just the blink of an eye, nothing was left alive in a radius of three hundred meters.

The Strangers hiding in the darkness and waiting for the right moment to ambush White Robe Demon Master immediately scattered. It was clear from his energies that he was not to be trifled with.

The Strangers of the Sea of Stars were powerful, yes, but they were hardly omnipotent. White Robe Demon Master clearly wasn’t someone they could contend against.

“Hmph... Do you think you can escape?” White Robe Demon Master wasn’t planning on letting them leave though. Most people could not have survived a fall into the Star Rift. Most of them would have become lost or destroyed by the chaotic currents of spacetime. He only survived and even escaped because he was powerful.

Even so, he had to waste a not insignificant amount of energy to perform the feat. Naturally, he was in an even worse mood than before.

As if that wasn’t enough, he discovered that a bunch of Strangers were lying in wait after he emerged. He was just looking for some preys to vent his anger on, so of course he couldn’t allow them to leave.

White Robe Demon Master grunted, and the pale white flames turned into birds. They scattered in every direction and chased after the escaping Strangers. Any Stranger that was touched by the birds would instantly catch on fire and perish in just a matter of breaths no matter how hard they struggled.

It wasn’t until all the Strangers were dead that White Robe Demon Master waved his hand. The pale white flame flowed back to him like streams and entered his sleeve.

“A shame...” White Robe Demon Master swung his sleeve slightly and let out a small sigh. He killed the Strangers not just because he needed an outlet, but also because he was hoping to get lucky. If Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou happened to be hiding in the area, then they would sense his attack and try to escape. That would have saved him a lot of time.

Unfortunately, his plan had ended in failure. It was fine though. All he lost was a bit of time.

The next moment, White Robe Demon Master executed “Know My Heart” and began tracking down the duo once more.

This time, he was a lot more careful. Besides the Star Rift, he did his best to avoid the surrounding dangers as well.

The Sea of Stars was a major forbidden zone close to the Profound Alliance and the Rakshasa Kingdom. Naturally, he was aware of its dangers as well. However, he was careless and underestimated its perils until the Star Rift had given him a wake-up call. Now that he was alert, the dangers were no longer enough to threaten him.

It took White Robe Demon Master little time to locate the star where the Star Moon Butterflies resided.

“The Star Moon Butterfly? No wonder they were able to hide here for so long.”

White Robe Demon Master strolled across the star while observing the empty, silent forest around him. He lifted his eyebrows. “They have a bit of cunning in them.”

He immediately recognized that this was the Star Moon Butterflies’ habitat.

However, the Star Moon Butterflies and all other dangers had already escaped.

The Star Moon Butterflies could sense danger. If the danger turned out to be beyond their ability to resist, then they would even abandon their habitat and migrate to a different location to avoid the danger.

The Strangers counting on the Star Moon Butterflies’ ability to live would, of course, leave together with them.

This was one such case. He was the danger that forced the Strangers to leave.

Unfortunately, this was a problem. Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were hiding here, so they must have noticed the Star Moon Butterflies’ abrupt departure and left as well.
