Chapter 370: Chapter 191: Suppression! Pursuit of the Level 5 Hero! (Part 2)

Where’s my Spiritual Energy?

Where the hell did my Spiritual Energy go!

"Ha!"

Ye Mingqiu flashed a contemptuous smile.

It seems that under the cloak of Heavenly Authority, if the enemy doesn’t sense carefully, they can’t perceive the effect of Mahakala absorbing Spiritual Energy.

This was a new Technique he incorporated into Mahakala, inspired by the Magic Energy Devouring Technique, which quietly devours the enemy’s Spiritual Energy during the Power activation. Previously, he wasn’t sure if the opponent could detect their Spiritual Energy being absorbed.

Now, he has the answer.

The next moment, Ye Mingqiu descended from the second floor, stepping towards Red Earth. His aura, as red as blood, erupted like burning Blood Flame, reflecting a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Red Earth felt an overwhelming sense of despair as Spiritual Energy within him was empty and void. Watching the young man approaching him, a terrifying feeling of hopelessness descended upon him; his breath became rapid, heart rate quickened, cold sweat dripped from his head, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Eventually, he roared, shouting in anger, wielded his hammer, and charged at Ye Mingqiu.

"Kill!!"

....

The darkness enveloping the small building dissipated, the interior became ruins, and Ye Mingqiu dragged the already deceased Red Earth out from inside, saying, "Open the trunk."

"Alright."

The trunk opened, and Ye Mingqiu threw the body onto the car, taking the passenger seat beside Yu Bach.

Actually, he could settle rewards without bringing the corpse, but that would reduce the profits by 10%. Bringing the body eliminates the inspection step by relevant departments, granting an additional 10% profit as tracking and detection itself incurs costs, having the body around makes things much more convenient.

"The speed is really fast."

Eye of Flame Light took the driver’s seat, saying, "This time, you get 90% of the reward, and I’ll take 10%, is that okay?"

"Yes."

Ye Mingqiu responded.

The staff at the counter had previously informed him that generally, the Patrol Hunter would take about 20% of the tracking profits; if the contribution is more, they would take more, if less, they would take less.

Now, Eye of Flame Light believed her contribution was quite minimal, so she took a smaller portion.

"Should I drop you home?"

"No need."

"Then shall we head back to the security department, hand over the body, and go home ourselves?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Mingqiu turned to look at Eye of Flame Light, showing a puzzled expression, and said, "Are you joking? We’ve only taken down one target, far from going home."

"Uh? What about your Domain just now..."

"What about it."

"Can the cooldown keep up?"

"No cooldown."

"Huh?"

Eye of Flame Light was incredibly shocked.

Typically, a Domain with such a powerful effect would have a cooldown of over a day. If one possesses such a powerful Domain ability without cooldown, then there’s only one possibility.

Their foundation is exceptionally strong, surely possessing some extremely powerful Energy or Authority foundation, so the Domain they activate and that of a person without such foundation are inherently different things.

This guy’s strength is off the charts!

Eye of Flame Light slowly calmed, asking, "Next target, Black Cloud, Tier Two Level Three Hero Level Spiritualist, Magic System..."

"Too weak, switch to an advanced one."

Ye Mingqiu said.

He’s here to test his strength, not farm Contribution Points. If the battle doesn’t satisfy him or provide ample rewards, it fails to serve its intended purpose.

"...."

Eye of Flame Light was momentarily silent, searching targets in her mind, then said, "Cha Bei, Tier Two Level 5 Hero Level Spiritualist, Warrior System, technique very strong, overall combat power much stronger than average Spiritualists, pretty risky comparatively..."

"He’s the one, let’s go."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"...Alright."

Eye of Flame Light gave Ye Mingqiu a deep glance, as if seeing someone from the past, wanting to advise but ultimately said nothing.

’Anyway, his strength rating is high enough, unlikely to encounter danger, more words would render me nagging, just find the person directly.’

Thus, Yu Bach set off once more.

"How do you detect locations, care to share?" Ye Mingqiu asked curiously.

"There’s intelligence in the group, positions can be roughly identified through Celestial Eye, but if the opponent’s stealth ability is strong enough, Celestial Eye can’t detect... But such caliber isn’t within our jurisdiction."

"Anyway, all you need to know is, I can buy approximate positions through Celestial Eye, then track and find the specific target." Eye of Flame Light said.

"So, do some buy intelligence directly through Celestial Eye and pursue the wanted?"

"Yes."

Eye of Flame Light’s expression subtly changed, saying, "But it’s dangerous. If not afraid of risk, it’s a way, but it’s not encouraged by officials because too many Spiritualists died in such pursuits; they favor safer, more stable strategies."

"Of course, the official stance is not prohibitive, as some wish to save costs and dare adventure... it’s their freedom."

Following a brief silence, Eye of Flame Light displayed a helpless smile, asking, "So, are you trying to get Celestial Eye intelligence purchase channels from me?"

"No."

"Oh? I thought you wanted to ditch me and go solo."

"Too bothersome, I’d need to find warrants and people myself, determine who to hunt, with that time and energy better spent on a hunt with your guidance, not cost-effective." Ye Mingqiu replied.

"What an interesting response."

Eye of Flame Light smiled, her eyes glittering gold beneath her sunglasses as she looked afar, locating Cha Bei’s exact position.

"How much is the reward?"

"A total of 500 Contribution Points, including corpse bonus is 550 Contribution Points, I take 10%, only needing 50 Contribution Points." Eye of Flame Light said.

"Isn’t it 55?"

Ye Mingqiu raised his eyes slightly.

"You get to bring back a complete body, that’s your capability, asking for more Contribution Points is somewhat inappropriate, so I’ll just take a bit less, besides it’s profitable overall with more deals in the end." Eye of Flame Light said smiling.

"Hmm."

Ye Mingqiu responded.

He felt Eye of Flame Light was pretty good, although she appeared to avoid trouble, she was willing to exert effort at crucial moments, despite not being strong, she’s a decent person, making cooperation easy.

Yu Bach continued driving, neither of the two in the car spoke much, Eye of Flame Light drove like a regular driver at high speed in the city, her golden vertical pupils scanning around, trying to locate without being noticed.

Tracking has never been safe; previously a Spiritualist purchased a location through Celestial Eye and fell into an ambush, killed.

Meanwhile, Ye Mingqiu silently constructed Mahakala’s Technique at his fingertips, calculating in his mind, considering possible optimizations, improvements to Mahakala’s performance for perfection.

Hostility!

Ye Mingqiu suddenly clenched his hand into a fist, the Technique at his fingertips vanished instantly. He turned his gaze towards the source of hostility, a man watching through a lens in a high building, actions too covert for even Eye of Flame Light to detect.

"You’ve been discovered."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"Cha Bei is inside this building, but I haven’t located him specifically, many innocent people inside... feels a bit troublesome." Eye of Flame Light frowned at the residential building.

"I’ve locked onto him."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"Hmm?"

Eye of Flame Light turned blankly, if she hadn’t seen wrongly, Ye Mingqiu was constructing Techniques moments ago, how did he suddenly lock on to the target? He hadn’t used a detection ability, so how did he lock it?

"Fourth floor, fifth window from the left, he’s observing this side through a mirror." Ye Mingqiu said.

Eye of Flame Light looked over, instantly locking onto the real target, internally shaken.
