Meanwhile, the Vein-Splitting Warriors—especially Wei Yan—were furious. "Those rats from the Jiguang Society got away again!"
He simply couldn't understand how Green Ghost had detected the Hidden Vein Incense.
The scent was exceedingly difficult to detect. Even an Internal Force Martial Master might overlook it if they weren't paying close attention.
This had been the perfect opportunity to find the Jiguang Society's headquarters, but Green Ghost had a dog's nose.
At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at how decisively and ruthlessly the Jiguang Society acted.
They had abandoned such a prodigy without a second thought.
Clearly, he didn't believe the Hidden Vein Incense could be neutralized. He assumed the other side had already destroyed Green Ghost's corpse, leaving no trace.
He knew the effects of the Hidden Vein Incense all too well.
Against warriors below the Internal Force level, it was nearly impossible to counter.
Even if someone ruthlessly damaged their meridians to force it out, the burst of intoxicating scent released at the end could overwhelm even an Internal Force warrior if they inhaled too much.
Without someone else's help to erase the traces, there was no way to wipe away the scent so completely that not even the slightest trace remained.
That was why the incense worked best the first time, before anyone knew its secrets. He hadn't expected it to be discovered so quickly.
"Damn it, we'll have to let them run wild for a few more days."
Still, stopping Green Ghost from breaking through to Internal Force was a good thing. Otherwise, they'd have another formidable enemy to deal with.
Carrying Yun Xu, Su Yuan staggered through the darkness.
He couldn't help blaming himself. He was still too weak. Until he reached the Vein-Splitting realm, he was nothing but a fish on
