Song Changsheng followed the "scent," using the Secret Technique, Ten Thousand Miles Tracking, to feel his way forward.
Along the way, he discovered numerous traces of battle but saw not a single corpse. He guessed they must have been collected by that old man.
'This undoubtedly confirmed my suspicion. The enemy must be performing some sort of evil ritual, like a blood sacrifice.'
'The purpose of such a ritual could only be one of a few things: either to gain power or to refine something like a Demonic Spiritual Artifact.'
But no matter the case, Song Changsheng could not allow him to succeed. He knew the old man would never let him go; their conflict had already become a duel to the death.
For some reason, however, Song Changsheng felt a strange sense of familiarity with the man. 'I must have encountered him up close before.'
