With a flick of his finger, Shen Yu immobilised the young man and took a good look at him.
The young man had a frail body as if he had not eaten for days. His short stature was accompanied by black hairs that were just enough to cover his head. His deep black eyes were looking at him in return, full of fear and curiosity.
Noticing his reaction, Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked deeper in the young man, and found a swirling mass of darkness, encompassing a white mist. They seemed to be at war but as he could see the hostility of both, but the darkness was clearly dominating.
'How curious! What even is that?'
Just then, the darkness began to swell and the young man's body began to shake, as if trying to contain a great outburst. Small swirling holes appeared on his body, making it look more like a Spritual Creature rather than a human
Shen Yu could have easily contained whatever the Skinwalker was trying to do but he let it be. It wasn't his real body anyways so there was no need to keep it there. And if it died, he would be able to trace back it's origin.
Just as he expected, within a second the young man's body swelled like a big ballon with disgusting liquid pouring out from the many holes. Unable to contain the pressure anymore, his body exploded sending various bode parts flying around.
Shen Yu clicked his tongue and waved his hand, as all the matter disappeared, leaving the site completely clean and empty. He then closed his eyes and traced back the source of darkness.
When he had first seen the young man and the Ironhide Rhinox, he knew they both were just vessels of some unknown being resting far away. So, he wanted to see who this being was.
The Spritual Creature obviously used its unique soul to control so many vessels and once the vessel died, some part of the Soul would have to go back to its owner. He was just following the path of that Soul.
The soul was a mysterious part of a body and it worked on different laws than that of a material plan. So, how it travelled was also different. It travelled through a different plane all together.
That was why, the soul of Skinwalker took only a few seconds to cover thousands of miles and reached it's source.
When Shen Yu saw the location, he was shocked. After all, the soul actually disappeared below the Senter Valley base of Shadow Garden, the Hideout of Assassin Organisation they had took over.
"But how did it get our information? Like the plan to come back to capital was so abrupt that everyone was surprised. And as far as I know, nobody knew the route you will take so how did the Skinwalker actually ambush you?"
Hastor's face turned grim hearing her words as he was reminded of something. He turned towards Shen Yu and pleaded.
"Milord, can you please save the Mercenary group that accompanied us?"
His words made raised a bad feeling in Qing Zhiyan's heart as she also looked at Shen Yu with pleading expression. She needed to confirm her suspicions.
Shen Yu sighed, already guessing what they were thinking but he already had an idea of what happened. He simply clicked his fingers and teleported the three of them.
He had detected fluctuations a little distance away so he simply teleported them there. And the results were as he expected.
It was a narrowed area of the Grand Canyon and the red walls had turned deeper and looked ominous. Shattered humans bones and organs were splattered all around, filling the whole path with gore stuff.
Just one look at it made his stomach churn, even though he had seen much worse. He simply waved his hand, causing the path to become clean.
He shook his head and turned around. Surprisingly, it was Hastor who was affected by the sight but Qing Zhiyan was completely fine and had even began to analyse the situation.
His heart suddenly felt as if it was attacked by a invisible arrow as his chest became heavy, knowing the reason behind her indifference.
'She already immunity because of her visions. She has seen things like this on a regular bases, worse she saw herself in all the scenarios. Poor girl!'
He raised his hand and subconsciously began to pay Qing Zhiyan, feeling that she needed more love than she was receiving. He really needed to level up his game.
'Don't worry, I'll give you all the love you deserve. No, even more than that. I'll fill you so much that you would forget everything you have witnessed till now.'
