Natalie laid her head on Dan's shoulders as the two observed the current situation of the Luzon Clan.


In the campsite, hundreds of disciples banded together along with Elders wielding Heaven Grade Artifacts infused with Spiritual Energy. Though, they were crippled, activating an Artifact only takes a single thought.


The disciples felt relived seeing the cold lights of the ferocious Artifacts. Nevertheless, they still felt afraid and grouped themselves together, with some females latching on their stronger senior brothers.


"There's power in unity, this is quite troublesome, I didn't expect that they would act so fast." Dan lightly chuckled and Natalie stared at him and said, "If the two of us attacked them, we will definitely be caught, after all, my Stealth techniques aren't so sophisticated and overpowered like yours..."


Dan laughed once again, Indeed, his Stealth skill bestowed by the system could even bypass the Fragrant Peak Pavilion's formation systems, much less these disciples whose cultivations weren't even worth mentioning.


"For today, I'll be the one that'll do the dirty job, you go and fetch Grace." Dan laid out his plans and Natalie nodded in understanding. Arranging her clothes, she froze for a moment before saying.


"It seems like those three experts that we attacked yesterday has recovered. Will you be fine doing everything alone?" Natalie expressed her worries and Dan chuckled, "Who do you think I am, I'll be fine, just go and fetch Grace, also. Give this to that little lass," Dan hurled an apple at Natalie and the latter received it with a smile.


"I understand, I won't worry about you anymore..." She secretly flicked a talisman at Dan's back before dashing towards the distance.


Dan turned and stared at her gradually disappearing back before saying, "What a worrywart..." He took the talisman that was stuck on his back and saw the blood-red markings on the paper.


"Fortress Bastion. A one time use defensive talisman that can block a lethal strike." A warm smile lifted on his lips and Dan returned it on his back and stared at the campsite.


"How long are we going to keep this up, Senior Brother?" A disciple meekly asked Jamie as he squeezed himself deeper within the encirclement that they created. Advancing slowly towards the Desert Wilderness Bazaar, the Luzon Clan decided that to keep their casualties to the minimum, everyone should stick together along with the Elders.


If one looked at the Luzon Clan from above, they would feel like they were looking at an ant mound as the females stuck with each other while the males protected them at the front.


A circle formation with the females and Elders at the center and the able-bodied male disciples at the border of the formation. It was a simple yet effective formation. However, it had its merits, and that was those at the center needed to keep up with the movements of the males at the borders or they would crash against each other.


"We're gonna keep this up until we reach the Desert! After we're out of this goddamned forest, let's see how those bastards can sneak attack us!" Jamie shouted in a dignified voice and his fellow disciples didn't have any choice but to continue.


However, when night arrived, the exhausted disciples fell on the ground one after another and Patriarch Warren was forced to stop the moving formation. Commanding the disciples to set up their tents in groups, the Luzon Clan displayed seamless cooperation and teamwork to the extent that Dan had to praise them.


"Setting up their tents close to each other in another circle formation while placing booby traps around the tents. It's quite an intelligent plan. Unforunately, my Flicker albeit it only lasts for three seconds. It disregards all obstacles, including those traps and formations..."


Dan crept near the campsite like a ghost. Both of Dan's hands held strange knives that looked like a spiral. Glancing at these two knives, a sinister smile emerged on Dan's face.


"The Jagdkommando is as costly as an Assault Rifle but it's the best close combat weapon that I can use within my knowledge of weapons. If my memory serves me right, this weapon was banned for use in wars due to the fact that this monster will stick to the skin upon entry and twist the flesh upon exit, leaving a gaping hole where the enemy would bleed to death, ensuring a certain kill..."


Dan mumbled under his breath and held the knives in a reverse grip before activating Stealth and Flicker in a combo. Within the next instance, he arrived inside a female disciple's tent.


Inside the tent were three female disciples talking to each other with pale expressions on their faces. Their eyes gleamed in the lights of apprehension and fear along with their limbs that intermittently trembled.


Scanning his gaze over the three, Dan shook his head, as someone that manipulates negative energies, Dan could see all sorts of resentment and hatred gathered on a person who killed a substantial amount of people in their lives.


Despite the fact that these three looked innocent and frail, the concentration of negative energies surrounding their bodies were thicker and deeper than those of the other disciples. With a smile on his face, Dan knew that he caught big fishes and with a quick movement and a spark of lightning, his knives stabbed on the hearts of the three.


"Guaaah..."


The three female disciples spat a mouthful of blood as a sharp pain assaulted their chests.


"Who..."


They mumbled and lifted their drowsy eyelids, there. Standing within the darkness was the faint silhouette of a young man that stared at them with a gentle smile on his face. That was the last scene that they saw before their bodies withered and turned into dust.


Dan even absorbed their souls, making sure that these evil souls would never reincarnate ever again. Sheathing his knives, Dan exited the tent and started his slaughter once again. This time, he killed at least thirty disciples before retreating.


His dantian became so full that he was on the brink of energy deviation. Suppressing the desire for a breakthrough, Dan absorbed some of the negative energies while inhibiting the others, planning on giving them to Grace and Natalie.


"S-s-s-Senior Brother!!!" A high-pitched cry reverberated throughout the entire campsite and the resplendent lights of Artifacts illuminated the darkness. Jamie hurried over at the source of the shout with a drove of Elders and upon arrival, their eyes widened in shock...


Fifteen male and female disciples disappeared without a trace. Even the battle-hardened Patriarch Warren felt disturbed about this discovery as Jamie tightly clenched his fists in hatred.


"Just how in the heavens did they attack us?! There's dozens of Heaven Grade Formations around the campsite but we still failed to detect them!" Jamie's nails dug deep within his palms until they bled.


Patriarch Warren's expression look dark as an Elder beside him spoke with uncertainty.


"Perhaps, the people that attacks us achieved the absolute realm of Stealth, Perfect Invisibility and Perfect Inhibition?"


Jamie lifted an eyebrow and Patriarch Warren glared at him and retorted, "Impossible! There's no way that someone can achieve the Realm of Perfect Invisibility and Inhibition! At the least, not in this Continent!"


Jamie reeled in shock upon seeing that the level-headed Patriarch lost his composure, "Patriarch, what do you mean by the Realm of Perfect Invisibility and Inhibition? Is that what I think it is?"


Patriarch Warren nodded his head, "That's right! When one's comprehension towards their movement techniques reaches the peak, they would acquire the power to move freely under the nine heavens. That of course, includes the Realm of Perfect Stealth and Inhibition."


"In that state, one is virtually undetectable to the extent that not even Divine Emperors could see through their Stealth."


Jamie's eyes widened in shock, "That's impossible! Even Divine Emperors can't see through their Stealth?! There's no way that someone like that would even bother to attack a small clan like us!"


Patriarch Warren and the Elders nodded their heads in understanding. Jamie's words were sound and logical. Someone who could evade the probing of Divine Emperors normally wouldn't bother about the mundane world.


The Elders and Jamie disposed of the ridiculous idea and proposed that no one should return to their tents for now. Gathering all the disciples, Jamie established a huge bonfire where all of them could dine and talk together.


A figure clad in the robes of the Luzon Clan disciples stood near the bonfire with a small smile on his face. Dan heard the words of the Elders and the Patriarch and thought that his Stealth was actually so overpowered. Suppressing his excitement, Dan swept his gaze over the disciples and sought for someone whose state of mind was the most unstable.


"Found you..." A gleam of cold light flashed through Dan's eyes as he stared at a female disciple sitting alone near her tent. Her negative energy was the thickest of the gathered disciples, proved by the fact that everyone who glanced at her had disdaining lights within their eyes.


Dan approached the young woman and handed over a cup of fine wine, "What are you doing here, alone?" She lifted her head and stared right into Dan's jet-black eyes. A beam of jet-black light flew from Dan's eyes into her mind.


Her eyes became lifeless and Dan calmly retreated from the scene and disappeared into the darkness. Observing the Luzon Clan from the distance, his lips lifted an amused smile, looking forward to the show that would soon begin.
