Chapter 1160: Divination Master
Six people sat at a table, ordering some food and drinks.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes. Suddenly, Du Nong felt something was amiss and hurriedly pulled out an exquisite Divination Compass from his pocket.
"Du Nong, what’s this thing?"
Hao Shuai had never seen such an item before and asked in confusion.
"Haha, this is my Divination Compass."
Du Nong smiled at Hao Shuai’s dazed expression and replied.
"Divination Compass? Are you a Divination Master?"
Hao Shuai was evidently very surprised. Imagine spending these days with a Divination Master, such an impressive existence, and yet he hadn’t known.
"Sort of. I have always been fond of this since childhood, but later my father...."
Speaking of this, Du Nong felt a bit downhearted. Du Fei had passed away, and he could no longer prove himself as a skilled Divination Master, because he just wanted to prove it to his father.
Du Nong glanced at the Compass, which had been somewhat active since entering the Mysterious City, feeling it was exceptionally strange.
At this moment, Du Nong tried to use his Divination Divine Power, but he vaguely sensed another rival Divination expert not inferior to himself, and on the other side, there was shock as well.
"Humph! I didn’t expect Pure Yang Daoist to arrange the trial so early. Is he eager to remove me? That damned Pure Yang Daoist, if I hadn’t slipped up years ago, he wouldn’t have become the Sect Leader."
The speaker was the City Lord of Mysterious City, Kang Taike.
Earlier, he was lounging in the hall, legs crossed, while servants poured tea, and two young beauties sat on either side of him.
"Come over here for a kiss, ladies," Kang Taike commanded.
The two beauties acted shy on purpose, "Oh, City Lord, there are so many people, we’re shy."
"Damn, stop pretending! You’ve publicly kissed me countless times, what’s with the pretense of chastity?" Kang Taike found it amusing as he looked at their coyness.
Saying that, he dragged one beauty over, hugging her while kissing, and the servants all lowered their heads, evidently used to such scenes.
Kang Taike was notorious for his philandering ways but clearly had some capability, or he wouldn’t dare to be so brazen.
Minutes later, he let out a deep breath, "Ugh, switch. How many times have I taught you to use your tongue, and you go and bite me with teeth, it hurts like hell! Get out!"
"Ah!"
One of the beauties was pushed away, almost stumbling, then hurriedly stood aside, not daring to speak.
"Alright, you may all leave, I need to do something important with Jiao," Kang Taike’s kiss had aroused him, and he could hardly contain it, the lust was now filling the hall.
"Yes!"
The servants and maids retreated, and in truth, few good-looking maids hadn’t been propositioned by Kang Taike, even a fair-skinned male servant wasn’t exempt.
After everyone left, Kang Taike gave full play to his lecherous nature.
With arms around both sides, his hands and feet restless, kissing while moving towards the bedroom, Jiao adeptly began unbuttoning Kang Taike’s clothes.
Soon, the two were in a fervent embrace.
Wind and clouds shifted as events unfolded...
But suddenly, the Compass by Kang Taike’s bed started alarming, causing him to shrink back in fright, completely losing interest.
"Alright, leave for now, I have something to handle."
The beauty pouted a bit but dared not speak much, feeling reluctant, interrupting halfway through was quite frustrating.
"Okay, I understand, I’ll take my leave."
Jiao left helplessly, leaving Kang Taike alone, bitterly staring at the Compass.
"I didn’t expect Pure Yang Daoist to send a Divination Master to confront me. Humph! Does the kid think they can challenge me?"
Kang Taike spoke with some disdain.
But he was actually a bit worried since previous trials mostly involved sending capable individuals. To a Divination Master like him, that was not a concern, but this time made him uneasy.
Dressing quickly, Kang Taike hurried out, seeming to have something urgent to attend to.
Back at the hotel.
Chen Tianlong didn’t pay much attention, just started digging into the food, replenishing energy was most important. Otherwise, encountering a strong enemy on an empty stomach could mean trouble.
Hao Shuai ate a few bites, watching Chen Tianlong eat with gusto, and lost his appetite, so he nibbled a bit before he began asking, "Du Nong, do you mean the owner here is a Divination Master? Could they be a Hidden Weapon expert?"
Actually, Hao Shuai wanted to confirm if his task could be completed in the first area. If the mission misled the position, there was nothing one could do, and he was naturally suspicious by nature, wanting to ensure everything was foolproof before relaxing.
"To be honest, I’m not sure, I only know the opponent is a skilled Divination Master," Du Nong said bashfully.
"Even you don’t know huh."
Hao Shuai was disappointed. Wasn’t the Divination God supposed to be powerful? How could they not even know the opponent’s role.
Chen Tianlong was eating and almost spat out his food hearing Hao Shuai’s comment: "Brother, Divination Masters aren’t gods, they can sense the other’s Spiritual Power but might not know their identity."
"Humph, I wasn’t asking you."
Hao Shuai glanced at Chen Tianlong, feeling displeased.
"Fine, you carry on!"
Chen Tianlong rolled his eyes and resumed burying himself in his bowl.
Suddenly, Du Nong furrowed his brows, looking troubled, then he "whooshed" up, grabbing the Compass and rushing outside.
Chen Tianlong was eating when Du Nong’s move almost made him spray his food.
So the group put down their chopsticks and followed him. After a run, they saw Du Nong standing in the middle of the street, slowly spinning to find the target. But the Compass stopped abruptly, leaving Du Nong frustrated.
This person’s Spiritual Power was indeed a notch above his, able to control him.
Thus, Du Nong became anxious, planning to review his Divination Master skills back at the hotel. If he were at his peak, he might have stood a chance against them.
"Du... Du Nong, did you find anything?"
Chen Tianlong came over, panting and asked.
"Brother Chen Tianlong, I sensed an enemy presence earlier, but it stopped suddenly here. From what I know, their Divination Divine Power is above mine, so we should stay alert. Chen Tianlong, remember that Divination Masters can kill invisibly," Du Nong explained, worry evident.
"Yes, I believe you!"
Chen Tianlong understood that only Du Nong could assist during such times. Otherwise, no matter how skilled he was, the enemy hidden, he exposed, always on the receiving end.
"Thank you for the trust, brother Chen Tianlong. I’ll do my utmost to alert everyone, at all times," Du Nong nodded, showing determination.
