Three days later, at the edge of the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With Mu En, a ninety-ninth-level Limit Douluo, personally accompanying him, the efficiency of their soul hunt was astonishingly high.
The two did not deliberately conceal their auras. Instead, they moved through the forest with an air almost like they were patrolling it.
