Guanyin Bodhisattva proceeded to deduce the situation, then racked her brains to lay out numerous tracking, attraction, and other related Curse Sources outside Chang'an.
It was precisely by relying on these Curse Sources
that she had been able to catch up with Ding Ling in the South Sea when he escaped from Chang'an, then clash head-on with him for several exchanges.
The fundamental reason she had been unable to deduce his movements smoothly this time was that the "Distant Fragrance" Curse Source she had "placed" on Ding Ling had been broken and destroyed.
This Distant Fragrance Curse Source possessed tracking and attraction effects. Once someone became tainted by it, escaping was extremely difficult.
Obviously,
Ding Ling had accidentally become tainted by this Distant Fragrance Curse Source when he escaped from Chang'an earlier.
And Guanyin Bodhisattva had relied on this point to effortlessly calculate Ding Ling's exact location.
But now that the Distant Fragrance Curse Source had been destroyed,
any further attempts to scheme against or deduce Ding Ling's location would be exceedingly difficult.
If she forced the deduction, the slightest mistake could even leave her seriously injured.
"This Ding Ling..."
"He really is extraordinary!"
I even used a divine treasure, yet he still managed to get away.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was rather vexed and regretful.
If she had known Ding Ling was this formidable, she should have gone all out even against a rabbit!
But she was simply too curious about Ding Ling. She did not understand how a dragon could be so powerful it defied the heavens, so she had wanted to trap him, study him, and even subdue him.
Unfortunately,
before she could truly make a move, Ding Ling had already escaped.
"You may escape on the first day of the month, but you cannot escape until the fifteenth."
