Chapter 719


    Steve continued to tremble, and he mumbled, “She found me… She found me…”


    Caspian could tell that Steve panicked, a reaction he did not even have when he met the Heavenly


    Spirit Realm sect elders.


    “Jezebel, I must kill you…” Caspian gritted and his eyes were fixed on the fleeting figures that jumped


    down.


    “You want to kill her?” Steve came to his senses, looking at Caspian oddly.


    Perhaps he was frightened by Jezebel’s sudden appearance, but there was much less hatred in


    Steve’s eyes as he looked at Caspian.


    Caspian nced at Steve coldly but did not speak.


    However, his blood-soaked figure made it clear.


    “You can’t kill her, at least not now.” Steve suddenly smiled.


    The flesh on his face was torn and full of wounds, and his bloody face twitched, looking extremely


    ferocious as he added, “When you know about the Lunia’s Four Little Witches, you can talk about


    killing her.”


    “Lunia’s Four Little Witches?” Caspian’s eyes narrowed, “You mean Lunia, the Upper Kingdom?”


    Steve nodded, and he hated his fangs.


    “That’s right! But, I‘m sorry as you won’t have that chance.


    Since you ruined my n, I’m going to torture you to death!”


    As soon as he said that, Steve inserted some spiritual Qi inside Caspian to trap him again.


    Consequently, Caspian froze, and he could not move.


    That time, he could not even speak.


    “Follow and witness my greatness!” Steve grinned, grabbing Caspian and Charlotte each in one hand,


    and he sprinted through the mountains.

    However, Steve did not notice that the corners of Caspian’s mouth twitched slightly.


    Even though he fell into the hands of a mortal enemy, Caspian did not panic.


    Caspian’s eyes were fixed on the imperial city in the distance, where the fire zed into the sky.


    Originally, he was worried that Steve would run away again.


    After all, it would be a little troublesome if he continued to use methods like teleportation as it was


    challenging to determine the exact direction and distance.


    Why was everyone in the imperial city so indignant and desperate after Steve captured Caspian and


    Charlotte?


    Well, the reason was that they did not know the distance and direction Steve took them and searching


    for them that way was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.


    However, Steve ran away to the mountains with the two of them.


    In that way, Caspian could naturally calcte the route silently.


    ‘Did you think that by going deep into the mountains, it would be difficult for anyone to find me? You’ve


    surely underestimated me if so,’ Caspian thought.


    That time, Steve did not run away for long.


    About an hourter, he came to a hidden mountain peak.


    Then, he looked around and touched the blood on his body with his fingers, quickly drawing a pattern


    on a raised stone.


    Caspian could tell that it was a formation pattern, and it seemed that an array was set up in that area,


    which required Steve’s blood to be activated.


    That almost implied that Steve escaped.


    However, after visually measuring the distance between them and the imperial city, Caspian suddenly


    felt that Steve was undoubtedly bold as they were not too far from the capital.


    Just when Caspian thought so, a low but muffled sound came.


    The stone that Steve drew on before moved slowly to the side, revealing a dark hole.


    Carrying Caspian and Charlotte, Steve looked around again, and he walked in after making sure no


    one noticed him.


    As they entered, the stone moved back to its original position.


    Caspian noticed that there was still a long corridor once they got into the cave.


    Nheless, Steve was noticeably more rxed.


    His body was no longer as tense as before, and he even leaned against the stone wall beside him for a


    while, taking a few breaths.


    ‘It seems that this is not just his temporary shelter,’ Caspian pondered in his heart.


    Just then, Caspian saw Steve stick out a finger and jab at him.


    In an instant, he felt his throat loosen.


    Caspian hummed, and he found that he could speak, but he still could not move.


    Besides his mouth, tongue, and eyes, Caspian could not move any other part of his body, and he could


    not even turn his neck.


    “Now that we’re here, you’ll never escape my grasp again.” In the darkness, Steve let out an eerie


    laugh.


    “You’re right.


    As the saying goes, the most dangerous ce is the safest ce.


    There’s also a saying called hiding in in sight.


    The cultivators of Earlington of Efrax are now searching for you at least within a thousand-kilometer


    radius of the imperial city.


    Who would have thought that you’re almost right under their noses.” Caspian sneered.


    Steve also seemed very smug.


    “Isn’t that so? Who would have thought that I would hide my cave a hundred kilometers away from the


    imperial city, and I could also set up the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade in the surrounding


    mountains!”


    “The Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade!” Caspian’s expression changed slightly.


    As a disciple of the Heavenly Stars Sect, Caspian was still aware of the effects of most formations.


    The Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade was set up with the blood sacrifice of the living and the


    souls as barriers, and it could hide all traces within a radius of a hundred kilometers.


    To put it bluntly, it was a high-level illusion array.


    Moreover, if the range of the formation were narrowed, the effect would be even better.


    If the area covered by the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade were the mountain where Caspian


    was located and the several other surrounding mountains, then even the entry-level Heavenly Spirit


    Realm cultivators would not be able to find anything fishy here easily.


    Nevertheless, it was not that easy to set up that formation.


    After pondering, Caspian said, “You have someone in the imperial city.”


    Naturally, what Caspian meant was not that evil cultivators infiltrated the imperial city, but that among


    the hundred officials in the imperial city, someone secretly helped the evil cultivators, or at least


    secretly helped Steve set up that formation.


    After all, Caspian knew that the sess of the Great Array of Hundred Ghosts Shade required the


    sacrifice of living people.


    The blood, flesh, and bones of living humans were a part of indispensable materials.


    Hence, the name might be “Hundred Ghosts”, but the number of people to be killed at one time was at


    least 500 to 1000.


    In a ce so close to the imperial city, it was impossible to kill so many people at one time without


    anyone helping to cover it up.


    Hence, the person must have great power in Earlington of Efrax.


    “Hehe.


    Of course! Don’t you know that it’s much easier to win over mortals than to win over cultivators?” Steve


    was rxed now that he returned to hisir, and he did not mind talking to Caspian more, adding, “To


    win a mortal, you just need to give him mortal treasures or beauties.


    If that won‘t work, just give him the precious medicines that we cultivators don‘t even fancy, but those


    that can prolong life and strengthen his body will do, and even then, they’ll be grateful to you.


    Besides, don’t forget which sect I’m from.”


    Caspian was stunned, and he uttered through gritted teeth, “The Blood Poison Sect, a poison expert.”
