“It’s right there,” Godslayer said, but Alex didn’t see anything at all. Instead, there was just a person, someone who he couldn’t see because of some artifact they were using to disrupt his spiritual sense.

Alex immediately pulled out his Yang Qi and covered himself with it. Throughout the last 3 weeks, he had to use it less and less, so he had plenty of it to go around. So, he used it without the worry of running out.

Alex didn’t know what was happening right now. He couldn’t understand why a person would be something that created the shadow aura, but he had no reason to doubt Godslayer. He only moved closer to find him.

His spiritual senses wavered heavily as it tried to look at the person in front of him. At the same time, his opponent’s spiritual sense was destroyed upon just touching the Yang Qi he was forced out on his body.

“What is it? I can’t see!” Godslayer shouted in his mind excitedly.

Alex couldn’t either, but he tried. He barely managed to see the face of the other person before they immediately ran away.

“It’s getting away!” Godslayer mentioned, but he didn’t need to. Alex was already in pursuit. He blitzed through the darkness, following the spiritual sense of the person that was flying ahead of him.

When the person took away their spiritual sense, it was Godslayer who gave him instructions on where to go.

As Alex followed, he recalled the face that he saw. It was a young man named Zhan Lushin whom he had seen met in the lounge area of the gathering building.

Alex continued chasing and soon enough he got close enough that he could keep track of him on his own. He still couldn’t sense his number on the back, but he could at least tell where he was.

Simply following him was the most important task at the moment.

As the chasing continued, Alex passed through many spiritual senses that tried to latch onto him, but none succeeded. His Yang Qi simply destroyed any and all spiritual energy that landed on him.

Alex got ever so close to the man and wasn’t caught off-guard by the random maneuvers he tried to do to get away from him.

As the distance between them remained consistent, Alex started to check the young man’s number while chasing him.

His spiritual sense still wavered, but given enough time he could catch onto it. He kept his spiritual sense on him no matter what, and as a result, he managed to catch a glimpse of something he had not expected at all.

His speed slowed down momentarily out of shock, but he sped up again to catch up to the man.

“He has it,” Alex told Godslayer. “It might be the cause of the Shadow Aura.”

“What? What does he have?” Godslayer asked in a confused voice.

“The book. The black book,” Alex shouted.

“The book? Wait, the one with endless slots?” Godslayer asked.

“Yes,” Alex said. “And I think it just might be the source of the shadow aura here.”

“Get it then,” Godslayer said, but it wasn’t so easy.

Anywhere else, he could have already attacked, but here he couldn’t. He had to remain inoffensive while trying to get the guy’s number. Alex continued wondering what exactly it was that he could do to get the number of someones that continued moving at such incredible speed.

His opponent was in the late Saint Core realm, so he definitely needed to find a quick method to end this chase here. If it continued, Alex would run out of Qi, and the Yang Qi around his body would dissipate to the point where it would become useless.

The moment that happened, he would lose any and all battles if someone managed to sneak up on him.

“If only he remained still. I could get rid of the Shadow aura enough to see with normal vision,” Alex said to himself. As it stood, it felt impossible to catch the numbers on the man’s back with how much it affected his spiritual sense. If the person stopped moving, he could get rid of him like he did the many other people just by arriving behind them and checking their numbers.

That, unfortunately, was impossible when someone was flying this quickly. He would have to find another way.

“Get close to him,” Godslayer spoke after hearing him.

Alex paused for a moment, slowly understanding what Godslayer wanted. “Can you do it?” he asked.

“It’s just Shadow Aura,” Godslayer said. “It’s a lesser version of Darkness aura. Trust me, I can do it easily.”

“Okay, I trust you,” Alex said.

Alex saw that the young man wasn’t using his spiritual sense as it was all getting destroyed. As such, that gave him the perfect opportunity to hide himself.

His aura disappeared from his body as he became hollow to the senses of the young man who could no longer tell where Alex was. Still, he ran, never looking back.

Alex teleported, arriving right behind the young man so close that if he moved his arms around a bit more, he would’ve been able to hit Alex.

Alex was right on top of him with his eyes wide open. He still couldn’t see anything, but that was only going to matter for a little longer. The moment he was there, Godslayer started his work.

Immediately the Shadow aura, which was incredibly low in amount compared to what it was in the book, was sucked into Alex, going to Godslayer inside of him.

At the same time, as the shadow dissipated, Alex got his change.

Spiritual sense suddenly washed all across Alex as the young man released it out of curiosity as to where he had gone.

For a moment the young man wasn’t aware of what he was sensing, but seeing that Alex was on top of him, he panicked.

At the same time, Alex panicked too. His Yang Qi was low, so he was worried that he had been seen through. That was all he hoped to not be the case.

Whether it was or not, he couldn’t sit still.

Instantly, Alex revealed light into the surrounding as he created a ball of fire on his hand that remained burning even as the two of them moved at incredible speed.

With that, he saw the number.

The young man rushed as well, but Alex was faster. The moment he saw the number on the man’s back, he quickly wrote it into the shield that he had on him.

Once the entire number was added, the young man finally slowed down. At the next moment, he vanished.

Alex stopped flying and grabbed all the few artifacts that flew after the young man disappeared, including the black book that was exactly what he wanted.

Alex put aside everything and just grabbed the black book as that was all he wanted.

“Is this it?” he asked as he couldn’t sense the aura.

“Yes,” Godslayer said. “This is it.” His voice sounded excited.

“Now keep holding it. I’m going to absorb it all away.”
