Days passed one after another. Without the strength of the Spirit Venerable Realm, Wu Sheyun could not return to the Ghost Medicine Sect in just a day or two, even if the journey was not particularly long. Several days later, he finally passed through the city.
Huo Hai still did not make a move. He continued waiting instead. In his spare time, he could slowly study Spirit Formations or his other Battle Spirit Arts anyway. Leaving everything else aside, his Ninefold Starlight had already condensed a full seven layers. With all seven combined, few Spirit Venerables of the same level could match his defenses.
Another few days passed. Judging by the time, Wu Sheyun should already have returned to the Ghost Medicine Sect. Now was the perfect opportunity to act. After wandering around for a while, Huo Hai finally chose a crowded restaurant.
This was no ordinary restaurant. After all, once people reached a certain level, they no longer needed to eat regularly. This restaurant catered specifically to experts, and everything served inside was exceedingly precious.
For these experts, eating was no longer a necessity, but a pleasure. Only the most delicious and precious things could catch their discerning eyes. Huo Hai took an empty seat and casually ordered some food and wine. Without looking around, he merely swept the area with his mental power, and the corners of his mouth soon curled upward.
Not bad. Not bad at all. Only three Spirit Emperors, and all the others are Spirit Emperors too. There aren't any Spirit Venerable experts, but these people clearly have considerable backgrounds. They shouldn't be caught too easily. Perfect.
Huo Hai sensed their cultivation while observing their distinguishing traits, deducing their identities. Ordinary factions could not nurture people who reached Spirit Emperor at such a young age.
