Chapter 4123 Dawanggou
The slovenly Taoist priest came up with a new trick, quite different from his previous long-distance tracking technique. This time, he actually used a copper bowl to perform the ritual.
It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as it works.
The disheveled Taoist priest looked at the compass, nodded, and said, "Fortunately, we can roughly determine the location, which is within a radius of one hundred kilometers."
"You used tracking techniques to pinpoint the location of that evil cultivator. Can he sense it? This evil cultivator's methods are extremely sophisticated. Don't give yourself away," I reminded him.
"No, this is an upgraded version of the Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique. I just learned it from my master. It can not only track people, but also track souls, doubling the effect." The slovenly Taoist priest smiled smugly.
"As expected of Brother Luo, he's really capable. Whether this job goes well or not is all thanks to Brother Luo." I gave the slovenly Taoist priest a thumbs up.
"Stop flattering me. I'll remember this. Next time there's a big deal, if you don't call me, I'll beat the shit out of you. If you can't, then you've cleaned up properly." The slovenly Taoist priest rolled his eyes at me.
"Brother Luo, how could that be? Last time we went to the Fire Domain, we all made more than a small fortune. It was because I called the brothers over here to make a fortune." I chuckled.
"Don't even mention the Fire Domain. I almost died in there. I finally managed to scrape together some money, only to have it swindled out of 30 million by your master. Don't you have any conscience?" The slovenly Taoist priest got angry whenever he brought it up.
"Brother Luo, you've eaten my conscience, it doesn't hurt at all."
"Get lost. It's settled then. That evil cultivator's cultivation will be devoured by my Sun and Moon Cauldron. I also want to improve my cultivation so I won't always suffer losses in fights." The slovenly Taoist rolled his eyes again.
We've almost finished, and we plan to take immediate action.
This time, led by the slovenly Taoist priest, Yue Chunlei gathered a group of experts from the special investigation team, and also invited some local outside help.
While waiting for someone to arrive, we ate at a small restaurant downstairs. I shamelessly asked the slovenly Taoist priest to treat me, but he looked at me with disdain.
I've found that being broke is actually quite nice; I can freeload everywhere, and it feels pretty good.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Yue Chunlei had already gathered his men.
A few of us went to the Special Investigation Team's compound and saw about thirty-four people. Among them were more than a dozen experts from the Special Investigation Team and more than a dozen practitioners from local temples and Taoist monasteries. Some of them had quite good cultivation, especially a senior monk who seemed to be at least a mid-stage Ghost Immortal Realm expert.
We weren't very familiar with the local terrain, so we needed a local to guide us.
After everything was ready, the four of us, along with Yue Chunlei and a driver from the special investigation team, got into a van and set off in a grand procession, led by the slovenly Taoist priest.
The car drove for more than two hours, going further and further into remote areas, and finally stopped in a place called Dawanggou.
This place is far from the city, a dense primeval forest, and few people come here.
To avoid alerting the enemy, we arrived in batches. When we were still some distance from Dawanggou, we parked our cars by the roadside and walked deeper into the valley.
Upon arriving at the destination, the slovenly Taoist priest took out his compass again, glanced at it, and said to us with a grim expression, "That fellow is in the heart of Dawanggou, about thirty miles away from us. He's hiding very well."
“This guy will probably only make his move at night. He’s been hiding here cultivating during the day. We’ve already found out he killed twenty-eight people. If we include the one from last night, he’ll probably come out again tonight. Let’s corner him here to prevent any future trouble,” I said solemnly.
“Brother Angkor, we’ll do whatever you say.” Kassan looked at me.
At this moment, Yue Chunlei also came over and said seriously, "Section Chief Wu, are you sure that evil cultivator is in the heart of Dawanggou? Should we spread everyone out and explore the heart of Dawanggou together? Whoever finds that evil cultivator first should report it as soon as possible, and everyone should rush over."
"Given that evil cultivator's cultivation level, ordinary cultivators can't stop him. We'd better not split up, or he'll easily defeat us one by one. Right now, he's only targeting ordinary people with special destinies. In fact, our cultivators' souls are even more nourishing to him. It's best to be careful," I analyzed.
"Alright, let's follow Section Chief Wu's instructions. We'll concentrate our superior forces and take them down in one fell swoop."
While we were discussing countermeasures, the people Yue Chunlei had called arrived one after another.
The four of us led the way, while the others followed at a distance. If anything happened, we would call them to come and support us as soon as possible.
So we formed a group of four, and Kasang immediately vanished into the void to scout ahead for us. The four of us were in the middle, about a kilometer away from the experts led by Yue Chunlei.
This place was overgrown with grass and dense forest, with no paths to follow, so our pace was rather slow. We walked for more than ten kilometers before it got completely dark.
Actually, darkness is more advantageous for us, because the ghosts inside my Heavenly Seal can also come in handy, and it also helps us to better conceal our figures.
At this point, we were already deep in the heart of Dawanggou.
There are no people here, not even a bird's call.
At the beginning of the journey, we could hear animal calls and insect chirps, but once we arrived here, all these sounds disappeared, and the entire old forest became eerily quiet.
The disheveled Taoist priest sensed something was wrong. He took out his compass again and examined it carefully. He said solemnly, "It's very close, less than ten miles away. We need to be careful from now on."
Kasang, who had been walking ahead, did not send any messages, which meant that there were no problems ahead.
We paused for a moment, then decided to continue on our way.
After walking for about ten minutes, Kassan suddenly appeared beside us and said there was a magic circle ahead.
The presence of a magic array indicates that this place is indeed hiding that evil cultivator, who doesn't want anyone to find him.
"Kasang, what kind of magic circle is it? Can you tell?" I asked him.
Kasang shook his head: "Brother Wu, this is your specialty. I don't understand magic arrays, but I took a closer look. The magic array is very well hidden, with no swirling mist. However, I could sense the danger, so I came to tell you. The magic array is about three or four miles away from here, not far at all."
"Let's go, let's go take a look and see if we can open a passage in the magic circle without alerting that guy." I waved my hand.
