70 Back on track

The white boat floated in the clouds as it entered the northern border of the Golden Sun Empire, suddenly a black colored flying ship started to float adjacent to their boat.

"Is that an enemy?" Rudra asked looking the flying ship just some distance from their own.

Iclyn looked puzzlingly at the boat too but before they could call at the other flying ship more and more ships appeared in their vision all of the different colors some red some pink some green.....

"Oh, it looks like one of those Sect Entrance Events being organized by the princes of the Golden Sun Empire to promote their territory growth," Iclyn commented as she slowed the ship down as it started descending downwards.

The black ship besides them also followed suit as it descended outside the city,

"Do you mind if we stop here for a moment?" Iclyn said as she was obliged as an elder to meet the prince at least once as she had been spotted by the other elders of sects that were flying around.

She didn't want to seem as supporting any of the princes, or loathing others if she entered his territory during the event and didn't even represent the Spirit Ice Sect in the event.

She had taken over this mission from her sister and she planned to attend these events recruiting disciples who were decent enough to enter the sect.

This would allow her to bring Rudra to the Dark Forest, as his condition.

"Hmph, Do you think that you could overpower me in the forest becoming your true self and then walk away! In your dreams" Iclyn thought to herself.

She turned to look at the shadow in the ship as she alighted from the white flying boat.

Rudra jumped down following after her, his white robes stood out amongst the different colored robes in the field in this crowd.

Rudra suddenly caught a glance of a familiar face 'Shin', Rudra remembered this young guy who followed after him in the Giri Manor and was later selected into an Earth-based Sect.

"He is doing fine it seems!"

"And looks like he is following after the elder that was conducting the test," Rudra nodded his head approvingly at the sight of the grey-robed Shin following after the grey-robed elder that was conducting the exams back in the Pine Leaf Town.

All the elders were being greeted by the servants of the prince in charge here, the town guards guided the elders forward.

Suddenly Rudra seemed to look at the black colored ship that was parked beside their ship, no soul had exited from the ship causing the people in charge of receiving them to be confused as the time passed more and more people looked over towards the situation.

"I am the representative for the Shattered Ocean Sect, of the Spirit Ocean Sect, you all can go before me I will take some time, Please!" a voice boomed from inside the ship.

Rudra smiled looking at the ship as he turned his gaze away and followed after the white-robed Iclyn who was being escorted by town guards.

"You are not even gonna know what hit you. hehe," Rudra thought as he gazed at the back of Iclyn

The same night... In an isolated stone building, where Iclyn and Rudra were assigned to stay for the event. The chirping of incests could be heard around, as the moon hung above.

"I lost him" the abrupt voice made the meditating Iclyn open her eyes abruptly.

"When?" She hurriedly asked.

"Just Now, He disappeared I can't find his traces,"

"Did he change into a lion. No, he can't escape with that body easily. Eira told me that would make him many times larger than a normal man he can't hide with that body." Iclyn muttered as she thought how she had selected the most central building in all of the sect accommodation given by the prince and how she had put various tracking spells on him.

She took out a bottle containing his blood as she spilled a drop on her first finger, and spread it over a rune she had just whipped out of her space ring, the runes turned radiant as it absorbed the blood but dimmed after that.

"No results!" Iclyn muttered, "Uncle, I would have to trouble you to keep an eye out. He shouldn't have gotten far."

Iclyn stood up as she wandered around her room blaming herself for being too careless and underestimating the bastard.

While Rudra who was just in the building next to hers was laughing his ass off, "HAHA fool, you though I couldn't see your backup just because he used a formation to cover himself up"

Rudra had long seen the backup brought by Iclyn when he activated the Omniscient Eye technique.

Rudra laughed as he took out a mirror to look at his face which had changed back into the long black hair and clean pointy face,

"Hut Hoot, having multiple bodies sure is great. Way better than some lousy Disguise technique."

"Using my mental energy to produce sound waves inside the ship of Master Ren was the best disguise, now they would never be associate the Elder from the Shattered Ocean Sect to a lowly disciple in the Spirit Ice Sect." Rudra rubbed his chin praising his genius of a plan that would get him out of any suspicion of being associated with the other identity.

"With this, I will be able to carry out the original mission of recruiting disciples," Rudra said as he returned the mirror back into the ring.

Rudra laid down on the bed in the room, as he slept the night in his sweet dreams.
