The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

This time, an uproar broke out even outside the mountain range, with countless gazes staring at this scene in shock. None of them had expected Umor and his crew to lose track of Ezra Zephyr after trapping him in the valley.

Whispers spread, and some individuals even began to gloat. Blood Slaughterer Peak had caused quite a stir by so brazenly hunting Ezra down together, only to end up losing sight of him when he was right under their noses. If they allowed the prince to escape, these ruling gold belt disciples of Blood Slaughterer Peak would not be able to look at their seniors.

The commotion grew louder and louder as it spread.

Finally, even peak masters began to turn their attention over once again.

"Haha, now this is interesting." Master Antero chuckled.

A look of intrigue had surfaced in his deep and wise eyes, a rarely seen expression to the elders of Arcane Wizardry Peak.

...

Umor's expression darkened in response to the whispers and amused gazes. He hovered above the valley and looked down at the mist below.

With a deep breath, he suppressed his churning emotions as his eyes glowed brightly.

"Senior brother Umor, should we spread out and continue the search?" Denise could not help but ask. Her expression was also not a pretty sight.

Umor did not answer. Instead, he continued to stare intensely at the valley below.

As he stared, another half an incense stick of time passed.

Behind him, Denise grew increasingly impatient. However, just as she was about to speak, Umor's deep voice slowly sounded.

"I hate to admit but… Junior brother Ezra is truly amazing! If I am not mistaken, he… should have reached the advanced level of the Gossamer Steps?!"

"Advanced level of Gossamer Steps?!"

When Umor's voice sounded, several onlookers immediately gasped in shock as gaze after gaze tinged with astonishment looked towards the misty valley.

"I see…" Some disciples involuntarily exclaimed. It was said that once one reached the advanced level of the Gossamer Steps spiritual technique, one would gain the ability to turn fully gossamer, even concealing the ripples from one's own spiritual energy. It was an extraordinary survival skill that could save one's life.

However, it was difficult to reach the advanced level. In the current Spirit Devouring Mountain, only a handful of Inner Mountains disciples have managed to achieve this feat. If what Umor said is true then Ezra would be the 1st ever Outer Mountains disciple to master this technique, another gigantic achievement in the list.

Besides Umor, Denise was also taken aback. She soon gritted her teeth and said, "That rascal is truly as slippery as a fish. To think that he can still put up such a fight even after being trapped!"

She had initially believed that it would be the end of the road for Ezra after trapping him here. However, who could have imagined that he would take advantage of the terrain to conceal himself, resulting in them being unable to find him?

She looked towards Umor and asked, "Senior brother Umor, what should we do now?"

So many gold belt disciples from Blood Slaughterer Peak have been deployed for this operation today. If the werewolf prince was allowed to slip away right under their noses, their peak would become the target of mocking.

Umor gazed at the mist-filled valley below with slightly narrowed eyes. With a soft laugh, he said, "Even though junior brother Ezra has surprised me somewhat, it will be a little too naive for him to believe he will dominate us with just the Gossamer Steps."

His gaze swept about the area, looking towards the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples as he said, "Fellow brother disciples, use your spiritual energy to seal the valley. He will use guerrilla tactic, he will use his speed to hit us one by one, make pairs and quickly seal it!"

"Understood!" The Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples immediately responded to Umor's words. In the next instant, streams of powerful spiritual energy rose from within their bodies like smoke, and quickly spread out to envelope the entire valley.

It was a boundary, only used by Blood Slaughterer Peak, the spiritual energy was akin to a giant net, covering the entire valley.

~BBZZZZ~

After covering the valley, they began to shake as beams of spiritual energy light shot forth, dashing into the valley like swimming fish.

As the fish swam past, the thick fog was torn apart, and gradually began to dissipate.

These spiritual fish were linked to each other and could penetrate every nook and cranny, allowing them to tear through even the ungraspable mist.

Evidently, this was a unique search method from Blood Slaughterer Peak.

Umor stood in the sky, his sharp gaze fixed on the valley below, as his senses observed every tiny vibration. Under his careful watch, the spiritual energy fish continued their advance.

As the spiritual energy continued to slice through the fog, the mist in the valley grew lighter and lighter.

In the end, all the mist was pushed back towards the deepest part of the valley, ultimately gathering in a small area, which was less than a few feet wide.

At this juncture, the powerful energy from the Blood Slaughterer Peak finally stopped, as if they had run into an obstacle.

On the tree, a small smile appeared from the corners of Umor's lips when he saw this.

He waved his sleeve, sending out a gale of spiritual energy. It immediately blew away the final patch of mist, and a boulder promptly appeared.

The air above the boulder rippled faintly. In the end, a figure gradually materialised, appearing before the eyes of the crowd.

That familiar figure belonged to the Prince of Bloodfang Kingdom, Ezra Zephyr!

~UPROAR~

Regretful sounds were immediately heard outside the valley. The prince had still been found in the end.

"What a pity. If only he could continue to hide from them, Blood Slaughterer Peak would be the ones making a fool of themselves today." A disciple sighed.

"The fact that he was able to conceal himself from them for so long already demonstrates that he is highly skilled. After all, this valley isn't that big…"

"Umor and others are after all the top gold belt disciples of Blood Slaughterer Peak. Ezra is still a little inexperienced in comparison…"
