Chapter 2696 - Ba Shiyu
Chapter 2696 Ba Shiyu
Whoosh!
Su Mo flew quickly. He could no longer spot Zi Xiao because Zi Xiao had flown past the Space Beast’s range of consciousness, but he could feel the aura left behind.
And that was what he chased after.
He came to a stop after searching for a while. There were five crossed paths ahead, all of which were marked by Zi Xiao’s aura.
There were meridians, trachea, and blood vessels too.
Su Mo carefully felt around each of them. The five crossed paths all bore Zi Xiao’s aura, and were equally dense. “He got away again!” Su Mo let out an exasperated sigh. He gave up. He only had a one in five chance of getting it right, which was far too low.
Even if he had chosen correctly, he might not have been able to catch up with the man. His encounter with Murong Qi had delayed him for some time and caused him to miss out on the chance to catch Zi Xiao.
Su Mo was quite displeased. Zi Xiao was simply sneakier than Di Yihun. Perhaps this was fate. Since he could not kill Zi Xiao today, perhaps he could devour the him some other time. The Life-and-death Primordial Spirit and the Life-and-death Rule was just far too important.
A while later, Su Mo chose a path at random and continued his journey. He stopped chasing after Zi Xiao, and instead chose to go after the thirty people and their tokens.
Within the Beast Soul, its meridians, trachea, and blood vessels extended in all directions in its infinite space. Su Mo encountered many people on his search.
Just like him, they were all hanging around, looking for members of the Supreme Realm and their tokens.
“Hello, my good man. The Selection has been going on for a while. Has anyone gotten hold of a token?” Su Mo approached three men coming his way and asked politely. “I heard someone called Di Yihun managed to get one. He’s one of Young Master Liu Yun’s companions,” one man said.
“Di Yihun?” Su Mo’s heart sank. It was definitely not a good sign if Di Yihun had already gotten his hands on one token.
“Is there anyone else besides him?” Su Mo asked again. He wanted to know how many tokens remained to be found. If there were very few left, it would mean bad news.
Most people would choose to leave the Space Beast’s body if they got a token.
Moreover, the Space Beast had a big mouth and many exits all over its body, which disabled interceptions. “So far, only Di Yihun has one. I’m not sure about the others.” “I wonder where the members of the Supreme Realm are hiding.”
“The Space Beast is huge, but the space inside is fixed. We’ll find them eventually!”
The three men spoke, looking rather glum. They had been searching for quite a while but had not found any targets. Yet they remained relentless.
In order to become a disciple at the headquarters, they could not give in and had to do their best.
“Thank you!” Su Mo thanked them, and they then nodded and left.
Su Mo fell silent. Where would they be hiding? Could they be huddled in groups? That was quite possible.
Moreover, would Di Yihun leave after he got a token?
Su Mo felt pressured. Perhaps his efforts would go to waste this time.
He did not mind if he could not get a token, but he had to stop Di Yihun and Zi Xiao from getting their hands on one. Now Di Yihun had one, so either Su Mo had to steal it from him or get another one on his own.
Looking for Di Yihun would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Su Mo would be much better off finding another token.
Su Mo considered the matter as he traveled through the Space Beast.
At this moment, within the Space Beast’s body, other than the people surrounding the Beast Soul, Su Mo was just one of the many others looking everywhere for the tokens.
Tens of millions of people were scattered all over the inside of the Space Beast. Some worked alone, but most searched in a group.
Almost every blood vessel, meridian, intestine, and organ of the Space Beast had been searched
But, to everyone’s disappointment, they could not find any tokens or anyone from the Supreme Realm.
It was then that they all assumed those people must have huddled together. Among them were masters of Invisibility Technique.
That was probably why they could not be found.
Ling Chang was searching on her own. She was not as strong as others, so her search progress was relatively slower and more cautious.
Lin Ya and several disciples of the Palmy Branch had come together in a team of eight, still searching.
Quan Ruhai paired up with Chang Yi as they searched together.
Ge Li of the Qinghua Branch and Xiao Yushu of the Skynet Branch each joined the hundreds of disciples of the same branch as they swept through one location after another. “Senior Ba, where do you think they’re hiding?”
A team of five was flying through the gaps in the brain of the Space Beast, which was where Su Mo had been training a while ago. A beautiful lady in a blue dress spoke to the leader wearing a gray gown.
The lady in blue was none other than Elder Lin Wanru’s daughter, Ning Piaoying. Before the Selection began, Elder Lin Wanru had brought Ning Piaoying to meet Su Mo in the hopes that Su Mo could help her whenever possible.
But Ning Piaoying was not interested in Su Mo at all. She would be following Ba Shiyu.
The leader, with his aquiline nose and his gray gown, shook his head at the woman’s question, “If I knew that, I wouldn’t be searching aimlessly with all of you!”
“I’ve asked a lot of other people. So far only one person of the Supreme Realm has been found. What about the other twenty-nine? They can’t possibly have vanished into thin air, can they?” Ning Piaoying thought as a frown sketched across her heart-shaped face. What would she do if she could not find any of them?
She had been hoping Ba Shiyu could snatch a token for her!
The situation was grim. If Ba Shiyu could not even find a token, how else could they?
“They can’t have run out of the Space Beast’s body, can they?” a young man in green asked. Of course, he did not really believe what he had just said. Tai Ying Sovereign was an honorable figure. He could not have made such a juvenile mistake.
“Aye! They’re really good at hiding!” “They must be huddling together, using unusual Invisibility Techniques!” Another two spoke up as well. They seemed exasperated.
“Relax. As long as they’re still here, we’ll find them!” Ba Shiyu said. “And when we do, I’ll get what’s mine. Amongst all of the disciples attending the Selection, there is no one can fight with me, not even Shi Zixuan or Murong
Qi.”
Ba Shiyu did not show the slightest bit of arrogance. All he had was pure confidence.
Three hundred years ago, he had stood at the pinnacle of the Supreme Being Realm. Across tens of thousands of branches, few could have been marked as his equals.
And three hundred years ago, those who had been his equals had either become the headquarters’ disciples or Branch Elders. He would have broken through to the Supreme Realm earlier if he had forgone the chance to join the headquarters.
He might not have made a breakthrough in his training in the last three hundred years but his skills had certainly improved. Right now, he was truly invincible within the Supreme Being Realm.
He was undoubtedly invincible, and not just on equal ground with Murong Qi and Shi Zixuan.
“I believe Senior Ba is the strongest!” Ning Piaoying said decisively with a glimmer in her eyes. She was filled with admiration for him.
She believed Ba Shiyu would surely be able get a token once they found those people from the Supreme Realm.
Ning Piaoying had found the thought of asking Wu Shan for help before somewhat ridiculous. She already had the powerful Ba Shiyu to help her, why would she need a Low-rank Supreme Being like Wushan?
“Do you think he doesn’t know that, Piaoying? Senior Ba’s strength can’t be compared to Murong Qi and Shi Zixuan!”
“That’s right! Many people say that Senior Ba, Shi Zixuan, and Murong Qi are the top three Supreme Beings in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, and no one else can beat them. What they don’t know is that Murong Qi and Shi Zixuan are not worthy of parity with Ba Shiyu. Senior Ba thinks little of them.”
“That’s a given! While Senior Ba was invincible within the Supreme Being Realm, those two are nothing but ants compared to him!”
Another three young men chortled as they gave echoing statements, desperately giving praise to Ba Shiya.
They knew very well that they depended on Ba Shiyu to get the tokens.
Even if they themselves failed to get any in the end, as long as Ba Shiyu got one, they would be able to enter the headquarters as Ba Shiyu’s servants.
Even being a servant in the headquarters came with more prospects than being a member of a Branch.
“Alright, let’s keep looking!” Ba Shiyu stopped them from speaking with a wave of his hand, but he had to admit he quite liked their praise.
