Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"I was completely isolated and forsaken by my friends and allies. To add to this misery, I even lost my wife and daughter. Since then I have been planning my vengeance. And it is because of this intense desire that I have gotten my cultivation back. I am much stronger than before. This time I will carefully tread my path and not go easy on the people who had framed me years ago. I will see to it that the people of the Xiao Clan know what it feels like to lose their family," the man in black said, while hatred spewed from his eyes. He clenched his hands into fists as strong resentment consumed him.

"How can you possibly fight a lone battle against the Xiao Clan with so many masters? They have a total of five warriors of Sage Level and one at my level. It is unimaginable for you to deal with them alone," the old man in green countered as his body trembled.

"What makes you think I am alone? Do you think all this while, I was merely hiding in some remote mountain or even some wild forest and crying bitterly over my loss?" The man in black laughed. "I am sure you are aware of the Moon Shadow."

"The Moon Shadow? The group of killers that have suddenly risen in recent years?" The old man was shocked to hear the deadly name. He had an inkling that things were not going in the right direction. If the man in black was a member of the Moon Shadow, it meant that he had taken a path that was against the whole Devil Kingdom and even the Supernal Continent.

"Ha-ha, let's call it a day and leave things here. All I say is that do not interfere in my conflict with the Xiao Clan. Otherwise, do not blame me for not warning you when the situation becomes dire. You should know that your Shura College is a conspicuous target. If I want, I can easily make you suffer bitterly by killing the most promising disciples in your college. You'd better protect them well!" the man in black said. Saying this, he waved his cloak and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After he left, Zachary heard Mimi speak, "Instruction number two: trail the man in black to the designated location."

"What

College? You just saved your skin. If you were a disciple of the Shura College, I would have surely killed you," the man said coldly. "But how can I believe what you said is true?"

"If you know the Celestial College well, you can test me by asking a few questions," replied Zachary, shrugging his shoulders.

"There is no need for that. If you can survive my single attack, I will spare you. But if you die, I am not to be blamed. After all, this is not a fair world!" As soon as the man finished his words, he began to gather his aura. The invisible aura was rampant like a strong wind, enveloping Zachary into a giant palm.

Zachary's face darkened. He was facing a powerful warrior of Sage Level instead of an ordinary opponent. Even if he had the ability to do anything, he seemed to have lost it in front of his opponent.

He closed his eyes as he knew that it was impossible to resist such a strong blow. Suddenly, a ray of dazzling blue light flashed from his Holy Bone Bracer.

Soon, countless light beams shot out from the Holy Bone Bracer and kept condensing, until they finally transformed into a tall and strong shadow like a beast. The aura of the shadow was equally strong as that of the man in black.

The man in black was stunned to see the shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him. He stood trembling in front of the shadow. "Is...is this someone's spiritual soul?"
