Cyan Flames Within!

"Um?"

In space, Ying Huo, who had been leaning back in his chair, suddenly sat up.

"What happened?"

The Five Ghosts were taken aback by Ying Huo's actions. "What are you doing? Why are you so startled?"

"That's not right! I clearly placed a tracking mark on Lin Zhen, and it was showing Lin Zhen location just now. Why is it getting weaker and weaker? I can barely sense his presence anymore."

"No way, tracking marks can only be forcibly erased if your Star Power is higher than yours. Although Lin Zhen is quite strong, his Star Power is definitely below yours, which we all know."

"That's true, but I just can't quite sense his marked location anymore. He's moved from his original spot, and he's moving very fast! Oh my god! I can't sense him at all, the distance is too far!"

Ying Huo spoke, his brows furrowed tightly, clearly Lin Zhen's actions had taken him by surprise.

"There are no more markers? What should we do then?"

"No, we can't wait in space any longer. I have to get to the ground. I can't sense the location of the marker without getting close to Lin Zhen. You know, although my Star Power than his, it's not by much. This kid has too much potential."

Five Ghosts thought for a moment, but stopped Ying Huo from leaving the spaceship immediately.

"Ying Huo, I think you can't be impatient. Lin Zhen is definitely cornered right now. He's probably still on White Magnolia Star, just temporarily concealing his tracking markers. But I believe you can still find him if you get close. However, if we go down now, we might be playing right into his hands. The defenses in the sky will be relaxed, and he might be waiting for that opportunity to escape from White Magnolia Star. If he escapes now and flies along parallel universes, where will we find him?"

The words of the Five Ghosts reminded Ying Huo, and he calmed down at this moment.

"You're right. I was a bit too hasty. If we want to track Lin Zhen, we need at least four people to defend in space and two people to go down and investigate. If I go down alone, it's uncertain whether I can capture Lin Zhen. If two people go down, there will be a gap in the defense."

"Yes, so we need to wait for Ketu to come over. Then we can go down and pursue him. The four of them will guard space. That way, we can be absolutely sure of success."

Ying Huo sat down again. "Alright, then let's wait. Hopefully, Ketu will arrive soon."

*********

Their caution actually bought Lin Zhen time.

Because no one pursued him, Lin Zhen was able to successfully leave the location he had previously stayed at, more than a thousand kilometers away.

Lin Zhen finally perched on a branch after flapping her wings for a long time.

"Compared to when I'm flying, I'm much less likely to be spotted when I'm stationary. Believe me, if I stay like this, neither Ying Huo nor Five Ghosts will be able to detect that I'm a bird unless they get within a hundred meters of me."

"Although I still can't escape from White Magnolia Star for the time being, I'm definitely safe in the short term. It's such a big planet after all. I don't believe they can search every hundred meters. Besides, I can move."

Once things were temporarily safe, Lin Zhen stopped being anxious.

He didn't know how long these people would stay on White Magnolia Star, but since he couldn't leave for the time being, he might as well stay here and cultivate in peace for a while.

The gap between him and the Five Ghosts wasn't that large. If he could make some breakthroughs again, perhaps he wouldn't have to run away and could defeat them instead.

Anyway, there are still two years before the Little Phoenix is resurrected, so he can focus on his cultivation during this time.

*********

"Ketu!"

"Greetings Ketu!"

The Five Ghosts and Ying Huo stood up to greet the middle-aged man who was walking towards them.

The middle-aged man wore a long black robe with shimmering starlight on it. His face was dark, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.

That wasn't an act; it was a kind of ferocity that came from the very core of this person.

In reality, each of the Seven Great Fiends is vicious; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to inherit the ominous star's legacy. To achieve their goals, they are capable of doing anything.

The fact that so many martial artists in District Sixty-Eight Tai Shan under their management speaks volumes about their capabilities.

Ketu plopped down upon arrival. "Where's Lin Zhen?"

"Reporting to you, sir, it is like this."

Ying Huo immediately told Ketu about Lin Zhen and that Lin Zhen was hiding his tracking aura, but he must still be on this planet, and they should go down to search for him.

"Well, in that case, we Lin Zhen. However, according to what you said, this kid is quite good at hiding, so you might not be able to find him for a while."

"Rest assured, sir! Even if I have to turn every inch of the soil on this White Magnolia Star upside down, I will find Lin Zhen's whereabouts. He absolutely cannot escape!"

"Good! It's good that you have this determination. The fleet that came this time is all from the Seven Great Fiends. Even Boss Rahu has sent a fleet to help. We can afford to stay here for as long as we can. However, you should also try to be as fast as possible. You should know that Rahu has a bad temper. If things don't go well, it might displease him. As far as I know, Boss Rahu is about to advance to the Star Region Stage. If you displease him, you'll have to deal with the consequences."

"Brother Rahu, please rest assured, Brother Ketu, Lin Zhen will definitely not escape!"

Five Ghosts and Ying Huo patted their chests and made a promise to Ketu, then left the spaceship and headed straight for White Magnolia Star.

The fleet surrounding the White Magnolia Star was completely encircled, giving Lin Zhen no chance to escape. Ketu also believed that as long as Five Ghosts Ying Huo were given some time, capturing Lin Zhen would be no problem at all.

*********

A few minutes later, the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo had arrived on White Magnolia Star, the very spot where Lin Zhen had stopped to deliver the goods.

"The Five Ghosts, Lin Zhen stayed here before. I didn't come to capture him then, but later his Star Power became weak and gradually disappeared."

"Are you sure which direction he went?"

Ying Huo looked around and then pointed in a direction. "This way. When he started to leave, he probably didn't quite know how to control his power, and some of his aura leaked out. But I can guarantee that he definitely went in this direction."

"Alright! Since that's the case, let's search in this direction. Remember to release your Star Power and don't miss anything. He might be hiding in some nook or cranny. Maybe this kid believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place. He might just circle around and come back here."

"You make a good point. Let's expand the search area to 100 kilometers from this central point and search that area first."

The two agreed to immediately release their Star Power, each taking charge of a 100-meter width at a time, and then began a net-like search.

But they had no idea that Lin Zhen never believed that a dangerous place was a safe place. For martial artists, a dangerous place was dangerous, because everyone had Mental Power and Star Power that could cover a large area. How could a dangerous place be safe?

This might be possible for ordinary people, but not for martial artists.

As for Five Ghosts and Ying Huo, they had no choice. Finding someone is always much harder than hiding. Lin Zhen wanted to hide, but they didn't have accurate coordinates, so they could only conduct a thorough, grid-like search, leaving no stone unturned.

At this time, Lin Zhen was already thousands of miles away.

However, they didn't know that they could only use this clumsy method to search the area within a hundred miles, which took a whole day.

"Ying Huo, I'm pretty sure there might be a problem with our search. Lin Zhen shouldn't be staying here. He's probably already gone far away. We should do as you said before and search in that direction."

"I think so too. Okay, let's move forward side by side and expand the search area to 500 meters, then search along this direction for a while."

Following the same method, Five Ghosts and Ying Huo began searching along the direction Lin Zhen had left in.

However, Ying Huo only sensed Lin Zhen for a very short time before Lin Zhen disappeared, so the direction couldn't have been that accurate.

Three days later, after searching for thousands of kilometers using the same method, they still found nothing.

At this point, the distance between them and Lin Zhen had actually increased considerably.

"Hey! What are you two doing? Sneaking around like that, trying to steal something? Let me tell you, this is All-Under-Heaven Security Company territory. You better not try anything here, or I'll call for help, and you'll be beaten to a pulp! Get out of here!"

A warrior of God of War Level, dressed in a security guard uniform, walked over in a loud voice from afar, carrying a short stick in his hand, which was a Sacred Artifact.

Five Ghosts and Ying Huo exchanged a glance, both feeling their anger rising within them.

Four days have passed, and the search for Lin Zhen has reached a stalemate. Millions of troops in the sky are waiting for news of the two of them, but there is not a trace of Lin Zhen. Now they have to be ordered around by this rookie God of War Level. It is really like a dragon in shallow water being mocked by shrimp, or a tiger in the plains being bullied by dogs.

"Damn it! He's asking for it!"

Before Ying Huo could finish speaking, Five Ghosts had already rushed over and grabbed the reckless security guard.

"What kind of bullshit security company is this! If you piss me off, I'll wipe out your entire planet! Die!"

With a single swipe of his claw, the security guard's heart was crushed.

A burst of Star Power exploded out, completely obliterating the corpse.

"Notify everyone on White Magnolia Star! Get everyone moving! Help us find Lin Zhen! If we can't find him, I'll really wipe out their entire planet!"

Five Ghosts viciously issued orders to the interstellar fleet commander in space; he was already at his wit's end!
