1515. Gone Missing
As the silver mist kept shifting, Ning Hongming scanned the entire space, but found nothing.
"Impossible. Even if that brat escaped, the Nine Palaces Spirit Sealing Array is set up outside to specifically counter Spatial Divine Abilities. How could I not sense a trace of him?" Ning Hongming's expression darkened.
Besides the Nine Palaces Spirit Sealing Array, there were several Void Refining Cultivators and dozens of Spirit Transformation Cultivators outside. With so many people watching, Shi Yue couldn't have left without a trace.
They had either brought out powerful magic treasures or used secret techniques. Without exception, none of them had found any sign of Shi Yue. He had vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air.
The two exchanged bewildered looks, unable to believe it.
Not far away, the Heavenly Void Insect shifted its enormous body. It didn't notice the slight depression on its back, which was nearly impossible to spot without careful inspection.
Ning Yanghong had tried every method he could think of, but still couldn't find Shi Yue. His expression was now extremely grim.
He had made ample preparations to kill Shi Yue. Not only had he paid a fortune to hire a divination master and set an ambush in advance, he had also borrowed several powerful Spiritually Connected Magic Treasures and mobilized almost the entire Ning Family. They had surrounded the Teleportation Halls in Ziyang Market Town and several other market towns Shi Yue was expected to visit, setting up an ambush at each one. Yet in the end, Shi Yue had still escaped right under their noses. It was simply unbelievable.
Ning Hongming's face flushed red. The feeling of his first defeat in a thousand years was hard to bear.
He had come prepared, and everything had gone according to plan.
