Some distance away from Xinjiu Camp.
In the Wilderness, Dongguan traveled on foot, but his pace was anything but slow. He crossed mountains and ridges almost instantly.
He needed his main avatar to fight, but not merely to gather information.
Thus, he had split off quite a few avatars and sent them ahead as he traveled.
Of course, weak as those avatars were, they still possessed quite a few techniques that relied on finesse.
For example, he had used the Void-Heart Derivation Demon's avatar to attach a karmic link to its true body.
"There really are three familiar faces at Xinjiu Camp," Dongguan marveled.
Yanfeng Ancestor and Thunder Ancestor were essentially a reflection of life at the bottom of the Dark Sacred Realm: constantly hunting, readily risking danger and losing avatars, yet still being exploited.
As for Death Dream Hall Master, he had only come this time at God Emperor Xinjiu's invitation.
"I'll deal with that restless Void-Heart Derivation Demon first." Dongguan's view shifted, and through the karmic link, he could also faintly glimpse its emotions.
This was related to the Emotion Dao, a branch of the Soul Dao. However, cultivators could disguise themselves against Dongguan's observation if they knew about it. Against Hunyuan Lifeforms, especially when they were unaware, it was still fairly useful.
"It's actually not running?" A thought stirred in Dongguan's mind as he sensed its thoughts through its emotions.
Speaking of which, this Void-Heart Derivation Demon had something of a desire to "consider the bigger picture." After Dongguan left Hunyuan City, it had observed him hunting Hunyuan Lifeforms and notified the Overlimit Level Hunyuan Lifeforms. Some had fled, while others had hidden.
Now, it was possible for Dongguan to find them, but somewhat difficult.
Thus, Dongguan had also planned to first clear out the Hunyuan Lifeforms
