Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

After leaving the Golden Merchant Association building, Ling Chen went along the bustling streets of the Northern District.

From an external perspective, Ling Chen seemed as though he was wandering around the streets aimlessly. In reality, he was trying to locate his stalker.

His spiritual sense was spread out like an endless octopus tentacle or a ripple in the ocean, checking out his surroundings as well as everyone around him.

Now that he had broken through the Early Stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, the range of his spiritual sense has vastly increased.

When he was at the Martial Sovereign realm, his spiritual sense was able to cover about five hundred meters but now it has doubled.

At this moment, Ling Chen was moving slowly among the crowd of people. Though he wasn't moving fast, anyone following him would realize that his every move and direction was unpredictable.

An hour has gone by in a flash and Ling Chen still hasn't discovered his stalker yet. However, that wasn't what preoccupied him.

The thing that baffled him the most was the fact that he didn't know whether the person that was following him and directed the strong killing intent towards him knew his true identity or just mistaken him for someone else due to his disguise.

Ling Chen was very confident in his disguise. He was a hundred percent sure that not many peaks Martial venerable could see through his illusion unless they practiced some sort of high-level Eye Battle Technique that allowed one to see through illusion.

As for Martial Saint realm powerhouses, Ling Chen has never encountered one before, as such, he wasn't sure if they had the power to see through illusions with the naked eye.

Right now, Ling Chen was extremely interested in his stalker. With his current strength, the people that could actually pose a threat to him in the Heaven Desolate Region could be counted in one hand.

As Ling Chen continued to roam the streets of the northern district of the Blue Cloud City, his surroundings suddenly changed, from the glamorous and wide road of the bustling Northern district to a small dirty narrow road.

Unbeknownst to him, he had entered the slum area of the Blue Cloud City. The part of the City that no one wanted to visit.

Just like any regular huge city, the Blue Cloud city had its own dirty slum. This place was the poorest place in the City. Though the administrative or the City Lord of the city knew about it, they chose not to do anything about it or the condition of people living there.

On the way, Ling Chen could hear the coughs of the sick, the cries of a baby, and the cursing of a drunkard. All kinds of cruel sounds filled the alley and echoed out here and there. It was the complete opposite of the commercial area of the Northern District.

At this moment, there were not many people on the street and the thin and haggard people that were actually on the streets or lying down on the corner somewhere drunk were all looking at Ling Chen which looked as though he didn't belong here with caution in their eyes.

After arriving in this dilapidated part of the city, Ling Chen suddenly stopped.

Swoosh!!!

He suddenly released his spiritual sense again. At this moment, his spiritual sense seemed to billow outwards like ripples and waves, expanding aimlessly as he surveyed his surroundings.

The tattered houses, the broken roads, the two people having sex in the house three blocks away, the three guys robbing a tourist or the old man beating his meat inside a broken house, all of these things appeared within Ling Chen's sight with incredible clarity.

Though some of them might be disturbing, still, nothing was able to escape his spiritual sense's search.

As Ling Chen's spiritual sense continued to spread out, it reached the one-kilometer mark, and trying to spread it a bit further would backfire and would give him a splitting headache, as such, he stopped.

"Was I just imagining things earlier." Ling Chen murmured to himself.

He could clearly feel that he was being followed. However, even after he used his spiritual sense to search the whole area, he still wasn't able to see or perceive the person stalking him.

Fwoosh!!

While Ling Chen was still debating whether or not he was imaging things, he suddenly felt the same killing intent again.

It was as though the person following him was toying with him which kinda anger him a little.

At the same time, without wasting any time, Ling Chen left eye suddenly gave off an azure light as it shone brightly.

This time, Ling Chen decided to use his left eye power instead of his spiritual sense. He didn't know how, but it seemed as though the stalker was able to somehow evade his spiritual sense. As such, he had to change his tactic. He has no other choice but to use the left eye power that allowed him to magnify his sight to the point of even seeing the surrounding True Qi in the air.

At the same time, how Ling Chen perceived the world seemed a bit unusual within his vision. He was able to see people hundred of meters away as though they were up close. As he was looking around him, the energy within the surrounding areas abruptly began to dazzle and scintillate, with the air brimming with True Qi energy of different elements. These elementals true Qi energy seemed to form a blanket of rainbow mist, yet it didn't obstruct his vision.

Some of them were blue, dark, fiery red, Golden. It was like a rainbow made of different types of true Qi energy.

As he looked closer, Ling Chen suddenly found something odd. Not too far behind him, was a dense amount of fiery red True Qi.

The reason it was was odd was because this was the secular world, and it wasn't supposed to be a place where a densely amount Fire True Qi like this to be clustered together. They were supposed to largely sparse and thinly spread out like the other elemental True Qi.

The most shocking thing was the fact the dense red fiery True Qi was shaped like a person, and it was dissipating and dissolving into the air at an astonishing rate.

Seeing this, Ling Chen's heart suddenly jumped. It was the first time he encountered such a weird phenomenon.

Ling Chen suddenly turned off the power of his left eye and the gorgeous rainbow-colored world before his left eye suddenly dimmed as everything returned to normal.

"Domain Projection" Ling Chen murmured to himself as he was looking to the same area where the densely red fiery true Qi shaped like a person was located.

Now, when he looked at the same area with the naked eye, everything seemed to be normal. However, when he used his left eye power, he was able to see the dense residual red fiery True Qi dissipating into the air.

Although it was his first time seeing such a thing, Ling Chen wasn't oblivious to it. In fact, he was well aware of that method.

This dense fiery true Qi energy shaped like a person was known as a domain projection or domain clone.

It was a technique that could only be used by a Martial Venerable realm warrior. Once one breaks through the martial venerable realm, one would be able to create a clone of himself made of energy.

The energy clone or projection would look exactly like the person and could only last for a minute or two, depending on how much energy one used to create it.

Not only that, these clone-like entities would shape like the user, one could also imbue a little bit of his will into it. In another word, one could use his spiritual sense to control it.

Furthermore, the domain projection couldn't go beyond the user's domain range or spiritual sense or it would automatically dissipate.

Though Ling Chen was a Martial venerable, he wasn't able to create a domain projection or maybe not yet.

Unlike the other Martial Venerable realm warrior, Ling Chen didn't get the approval of the Heaven and Earth True Qi elements. Whether it was his so-called dark domain or the dark energy he used to fight, they all came from within his lower-dantian as supposed to the Heaven and Earth or his surroundings.

He was repulsed by the world itself. He was like an aberration or a computer bug in simple terms.

After seeing that dense residual of red fiery true Qi energy, Ling Chen was now more than a hundred percent sure that he was being followed, and by a powerful foe at that.

Someone that was able to create a domain projection without releasing all of his domain and even evade his spiritual sense wasn't some newly promoted Martial Venerable. That person must be at least a late Martial Venerable realm warrior. One of the handfuls of people that could actually pose a real threat to him.

After knowing that his stalker was keeping a close watch on him, Ling Chen suddenly increased his speed.

Whoosh!!

In a blink of an eye, he suddenly disappeared from the slum area and was already at the endpoint of the city wall of the Northern District. He was like an arrow shooting through the air.

The moment, he arrived at the city wall. He suddenly flew into the sky and landed on the ground outside the city.

As the wall was located in the slum area, there wasn't any guard on top of it keeping watch or people around the area, most of them were stationed at the entrance of the city.

Bang!

The moment he landed on the ground, he ran at amazing speed before he made it atop of a small hill far away from the city. If an average Joe was tailing him at the moment, he would have already lost sight of Ling Chen's shadow. Unfortunately, the person tailing him wasn't.

Ling Chen that was running away like a stray cur, was now standing on top of a small hill with a calm and composed demeanor. He looked completely at ease.

"I am already outside the city which is what you wanted, you can show yourself now." Ling Chen said with an icy cold tone.

"You are not that stupid after all, Ling Chen." Suddenly a cold and domineering voice, akin to thunder in the sky rang out.

Upon hearing that voice, Ling Chen's countenance suddenly changed. Not because he knew who that voice belonged to, but because that voice came from the one place he didn't check. It came from the one place where he couldn't search with his spiritual sense while on the ground. A place where he didn't even need his spiritual sense to look, the Sky.
