“We’ve found them!”
Pilate, who was kneeling on a cushion and praying to the Lord of Souls, suddenly opened his eyes, like a fisherman who had been waiting for a long time and finally caught a fish.
He sensed the fluctuations of the curse.
“These cunning foxes, I’ve finally caught their tail.”
He jumped off the hovercraft. The giant wolf lowered its head, allowing him to climb onto its back step by step.
The speed of the hovercraft was too slow, so he decided to follow on the back of the giant wolf.
“Clement, come with me, continue to track using the taste of blood. The rest of you, follow behind, be vigilant.”
Pilate, in addition to Clement, who could control the evil bloodworms, also had three powerful titled cultists and over fifty armed followers.
Once Clement was seated firmly on the back of the giant wolf, the giant wolf howled and galloped across the wilderness.
Its breath was like a thundering clap, its massive body raised a whistling wind, and its fur was undulating like waves. Every time its four feet landed, the ground shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
“The giant wolf Aernir will eat those heretical followers who defy the Lord of Souls.”
The Bloodblade Cultist of the Enhancement System Awakening said, holding his shoulders.
Aernir is a powerful psychic creature of the third level. It is well-known in the Soul Sect and is notorious for its cruelty.
Most third-level psychic creatures already possess wisdom that is not inferior to humans.
“Be vigilant, Bloodblade, those three heretics are much more cunning than any we’ve encountered before.”
The other cultists warned him.
They learned of the experiences of the Ghost Owl Cultist from the survivors.
The cunning Ghost Owl Cultist was nearly toyed with by the other side.

Li Mu unsheathed the Blade of Annihilation and rode his steed, galloping through the wilderness for over sixty kilometers before finally coming to a halt. He sat cross-legged on the ground, caressing the blade of his sword, for he truly cherished it. The sword hummed ever so slightly, as if it were a kitten being stroked. He plunged the blade into the ground and entered the Exile Realm.
The curse on the Blade of Annihilation was constantly draining him, and so he decided to stay in the Exile Realm for a while, for fear that the curse might have dissipated by the time he returned. Without the curse, it would be difficult for him to summon the soul hunters from the Soul Sect as he had before.
Upon entering the Exile Realm, he was greeted by the rich spiritual energy in the air. The constant overflow of spiritual energy from the veins in the Xianyin Mountain further increased the concentration of spiritual energy in the realm. He returned to the God and Demon’s Nest and sat in the great hall, practicing the Dragon Roar Sublimation Method.
Sharpening his sword to cut wood, Li Mu first aimed to elevate the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method to a certain level. He struck the jade chime and summoned Qing Feng and Ming Yue.
“Prepare some food for me, and a lot of it,” he said.
Soon after, Qing Feng and Ming Yue entered the God and Demon’s Nest, carrying a massive tray that held two roasted pigs and a goat. Accompanying the roasted meat were slices of green onions, roasted potatoes, garlic paste, and lotus leaf cakes. There was also a jug of chilled fruit wine to accompany the meal.
Li Mu gripped his dagger and devoured the crispy roasted meat, taking large bites. Before long, only bones remained on the tray. A warm energy surged from his stomach, flowing into his limbs and every part of his body. The simple pigs and goat were more nutritious than swamp wolves.
“My lord, this is the True Yang Supplementing Energy Balm that we have prepared using spiritual herbs collected in Xianyin Mountain and the bones of that swamp tiger. It replenishes vital energy and strengthens the muscles and bones,” said Qing Feng and Ming Yue, handing him a bottle.
Li Mu took the bottle, uncorked it, and found that it was filled with a liquid the color of amber. It was thick with spiritual energy and smelled delightful. He smeared the balm all over his body and felt a cool energy seep into his skin, dissipating the restless heat within him and transforming it into a positive flow of vital energy.
In the grand hall of the God and Demon’s Nest, the sound of bones and muscles shaking echoed. Li Mu slowly opened his eyes after having exhausted all of his psychic energy.
Withdrawing the Sun Spring, he took a large gulp, restoring his psychic energy. He continued to operate the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method, using the remaining half of his psychic energy to reinforce and transform his bones.
With the aid of the energy-replenishing paste provided by the Qing Feng and Ming Yue, the burden on his bones from the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method was greatly reduced, allowing him to practice it for a prolonged duration.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he spent his days and nights incessantly training the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method.
Twenty days later, Li Mu stood up. He felt that his bones had become much heavier, imbued with a touch of indestructibility.
The cloud patterns had spread across his chest, ribcage, and spine, extending towards his pelvis.
This progress was simply astonishing.
Li Mu stirred his own psychic energy, running the White Steel Broken Stream method. His upper body was lit up with a faint black light.
After soaking in a bath with the Sun Spring, Li Mu changed into a cotton battle suit and rode on Dao Lei, leaving the Exile Realm.
He pulled the Blade of Annihilation from the ground and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
In just twenty days, he had consumed a large number of livestock in the Exile Realm, and combined with Fei Lian, Dao Lei, and the seven massive Black Cranes and nine gluttonous beasts, the output of the Exile Realm was somewhat on the verge of depletion.
He summoned the seven massive Black Cranes. As psychic beings, the seven Cranes traveled in a group, and as long as they didn’t provoke the higher-level psychic beings and descenders, they could traverse directly.
The Fei Lian let out a piercing screech, descending from the sky. Upon seeing the seven Black Cranes, which were even taller than itself, the Fei Lian was somewhat dazed.
It had been thinking of finding a chance to return to the Exile Realm and repay the grudge from being mobbed all those years ago, but it never expected the strength of these Black Cranes to surge so dramatically.
“Go, go catch some prey in the wilderness,” Li Mu commanded the Black Cranes, then he invoked the Dream Tether ability to examine Fei Lian’s memory of monitoring the pursuit troops.
It had been nearly a decade since the Black Cranes had returned to the Wastelands, and they let out excited calls as they took to the sky.
Li Mu terminated his ability and rode on the Dao Lei, starting to transfer.
The speed of that massive wolf was extremely stunning. If he didn’t transfer quickly after staying here for too long, the pursuit troops from the Soul Sect would soon catch up.
……
……
Pilate ordered the giant wolf Aernir to stop.
From here, the direction of the blood smell sensed by the evil bloodworms and the curse induction separated.
“Bishop, it seems that a person with Ghost Owl cultist’s holy relic fled towards the southwest, while the remaining two people tried to confuse us and continue to move forward along the original route.”
The value of a moon-level holy relic symbolizes power and authority, and is almost a holy relic dreamed of by all awakening beings. Even father and son will become enemies because of it.
Therefore, carrying the holy relic with you is definitely the leader of the invaders.
Pilate pondered for a moment.
“No, we’ll follow the other two.”
