Capítulo 1644: Chapter 1644: Discovered!

“Huh? Why is the spiritual energy so low?” The moment the three landed, they immediately felt something strange.

In terms of spiritual energy, not to mention in comparison to the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, even the spiritual energy of the secular world is several times more abundant than here. Among all the worlds Ye Haochuan had experienced, this place’s spiritual energy was only slightly more abundant than the Desolate Realm.

Where they stood, there was nothing but endless desert all around, with no trace of greenery. Without plants, there couldn’t possibly be any animals either.

“It shouldn’t be this way. How could such a level of spiritual energy density give rise to powerful experts?” Fan Qingyin questioned in disbelief.

Spiritual energy is the foundation of cultivation. Without it, no matter how great one’s cultivation talent is, significant achievements are impossible.

Yet evidently, there are experts here. Leaving aside others for the moment, the old nun who took Jiang Shuying back then was not a simple character.

“For now, let’s not worry about other things. We should first figure out which direction to go,” Yige said anxiously, “Without any plants here, my abilities are useless, and I can’t find any direction at all.”

Ye Haochuan closed his eyes to sense their surroundings, then opened them saying, “Follow me!”

The location of Jiang Shuying might still be tricky to detect, but the position of Little Lei was much easier to find. The soul pact between Little Lei and Ye Haochuan served as the best guiding light.

Yige minimized his form and hid within Ye Haochuan’s hair. Ye Haochuan then flew on his sword with Fan Qingyin toward the direction of the sensed presence.

Hiding Yige was meant as a backup plan; if something unexpected came up, they could catch the enemy by surprise.

After flying for several hours, the two suddenly saw a patch of green ahead. As they drew nearer, that green patch expanded, revealing buildings within.

This area wasn’t very large, comparable to a small town in the secular world. With Ye Haochuan’s vision, he could almost see through the whole town.

Unlike the desolation outside, the greenery within this area was lush and thriving. The boundary between these two vastly different regions was marked by a huge barrier.

The barrier resembled a giant lid, covering the entire town, preventing even a bit of spiritual energy from leaking out. Not only was there no leakage, but Ye Haochuan also felt that the already thin spiritual energy outside was being drawn into the barrier.

“It’s… a Spirit Gathering Array!” Fan Qingyin pointed suddenly at some milky white stone platforms at the edge of the town.

The stone platforms were within the barrier, placed every thirty to a hundred meters. They were covered with intricate patterns, clearly not ordinary constructs.

“Spirit Gathering Array?” Ye Haochuan was not very knowledgeable about formations and looked puzzled.

Fan Qingyin frowned and said, “I saw this kind of Spirit Gathering Array in Senior Yin’s legacy. It can absorb spiritual energy from hundreds of miles around, locking it inside without a trace of leakage.”

“Isn’t that similar to the Spirit-Gathering Tree?” Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

“The range covered by this array is much larger than that of the Spirit-Gathering Tree, and unlike the tree, it doesn’t leave any surrounding spiritual energy; it merely increases the central concentration,” Fan Qingyin explained.

“This kind of array is extremely aggressive, drawing in all surrounding spiritual energy, regardless of its abundance,” Fan Qingyin continued.

“Damn, no wonder it’s so desolate outside; all the spiritual energy is being sucked in here!” Ye Haochuan said bitterly.

Spiritual energy is fundamental to all life. The people inside, selfish to the extreme, cared nothing for the survival of creatures outside in their pursuit of their own needs.

“Are you sure Little Lei is in there? That barrier looks strong; it won’t be easy to get through!” Fan Qingyin said worriedly.

“Let’s not rush. Let’s see how they get in and out first!” Ye Haochuan quickly masked his aura and patiently waited.

He was indeed concerned for Little Lei’s safety, but he hadn’t lost his rationality. He had no idea how many experts resided in the small town. If they forcefully broke through the barrier and faced a swarm of cultivators, that would be a surefire way to court death.

Fan Qingyin understood Ye Haochuan’s intention, so she masked her aura as well. As for Yige, hidden in Ye Haochuan’s hair, he too was under Ye Haochuan’s capabilities and had his aura concealed.

Yet, much to Ye Haochuan’s dismay, they waited an entire hour without seeing a single person enter or exit.

“Damn, how could we be this unlucky!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse, “I refuse to believe no one will come out!”

Just after he spoke, Fan Qingyin whispered, “Look, someone’s coming!”

Ye Haochuan followed the voice and indeed saw several black shadows slowly approaching. However, they weren’t coming from inside the town but were entering from outside.

The group consisted of three people. One was leisurely riding a ferocious beast, while two others followed on foot, seemingly attendants.

The beast wasn’t particularly large, not much bigger than an adult male lion of the secular world. However, its appearance was peculiar, canine in form but with a unicorn horn, tiger’s head, and Kirin’s feet, radiating a natural spirit charm that was evident at a glance.

“Huh? Why does it feel so familiar?” Ye Haochuan found himself not drawn to the beast but rather murmuring as he stared at the black-robed man on its back.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized, “That aura… No, it must be him who took Little Lei!”

Ye Haochuan hadn’t seen this person back when Little Lei was taken. However, because of the soul pact with Little Lei, he could sense some of Little Lei’s perceptions.

The aura that came from Little Lei back then was strikingly similar to the sensation this man gave off.

He couldn’t believe how unexpectedly he found this person.

“Is it him?” Fan Qingyin, hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, also turned to carefully observe the man.

The man looked youthful, likely just over thirty, originally quite handsome but marred by a long scar on his face, giving him a menacing appearance.

“Nascent Soul Late Stage, he won’t be easy to defeat!” Fan Qingyin said with concern.

Previously, Pu Qinglao had stated this man’s cultivation wasn’t high, speaking from his perspective. To Ye Haochuan, however, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator was already quite formidable.

After breaking through to the Core Formation Peak, Ye Haochuan’s strength was sufficient to crush a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, but handling a Nascent Soul Late Stage would be very challenging. Just against the newly broken-through Pang Yongrui, without Zi Mengqi’s help, he definitely couldn’t have won.

Moreover, this was the man’s domain; who knew if people in the town would come to his aid once a fight began.

Thinking about the people in the town, Ye Haochuan frowned deeply.

The black-robed man’s cultivation might be deemed “not high” by Pu Qinglao, but the force behind him was enough for Pu Qinglao to call it “very strong.”

Forces feared by even Pu Qinglao, who was at Nascent Soul Peak, must possess considerable might.

Realizing this, Ye Haochuan dared not act rashly and decided to wait for the right opportunity. The current situation dictated that a frontal assault equaled suicide; only a strategic approach could work.

As Ye Haochuan decided to hold off on any impulsive actions, the ferocious beast suddenly turned its head, staring intently in their direction.

Damn, really? With our auras hidden, how could we still be discovered?

Ye Haochuan felt cold sweat pouring down his back.
