Thin mist swirled, and the trees cast heavy shadows.

Tan Hao walked westward at a leisurely pace. His speed was not fast, and his escape technique wasn't particularly refined, which seemed incongruous with his cultivation level. The masked man and Qin Sang followed him with ease.

The masked man was very patient. After leaving Shi Island, he didn't rush to make a move, but quietly followed Tan Hao behind him, entering the desolate swamps.

Or be cautious.

The masked man was also at the early stage of foundation building, his aura stronger than Tan Hao's. He acted intentionally but inadvertently, yet even a lion fighting a rabbit needs to put in full effort. It's best to wait until everything is foolproof before making a move.

One hit, kill.

He was waiting for Tan Hao to let his guard down.

Tan Hao wasn't completely unaware, leaving some hidden restrictions during his escape flight, but they were easily found and avoided by the masked man and Qin Sang.

At midnight, the swamp was even more eerie in its silence.

After fifteen minutes.

The masked man chased into a grove of trees, his figure suddenly stopped. He had lost Tan Hao's trace.

This forest is not densely packed with ancient trees, and the surrounding space is unobstructed. Just moments ago, Tan Hao's breath was constant as he walked straight to this spot before suddenly vanishing without a trace.

The masked man released his divine sense and searched, but found nothing.

As the night wind picked up, everything was as usual.

Tan Hao vanished as if he had never existed, disappearing completely without a trace.

From afar, Qin Sang lay hidden in the canopy of a tree, also paying close attention to what was happening here.

Because there was a distance between them, Qin Sang didn't notice how Tan Hao disappeared. Like the masked man, he couldn't tell if Tan Hao had hidden somewhere or used other means to evade their pursuit and flee far away.

"I underestimated Tan Hao..."

Qin Sang furrowed his brows secretly, pondered for a moment, and didn't rush to appear. He remained seated calmly on the Fishing Platform.

A masked man wouldn't be without some skills.

As expected of Qin Sang, the masked man searched thoroughly but failed to find Tan Hao. However, he didn't seem anxious at all, instead, he sneered and took out a circular mirror-shaped artifact.

With both index fingers pressed together, he channeled his energy and swiftly sketched on the round mirror.

A peculiar array of runes were inscribed into the mirror, causing it to gleam faintly. The light grew brighter and stronger, shining with an intensity like a full moon.

But all that brilliance was concealed by the masked man, not a single trace leaking out.

The last stroke falls.

The masked man growled, "Rise!"

A mirror flew out of the man's palm, shooting straight into the sky and transforming into a full moon embedded in the night sky. The surrounding mist was driven away by the 'moonlight'.

The shimmering light instantly illuminated all directions, as bright as day.

The next moment, the man suddenly turned his head to the left. Between two ancient trees, he saw a shadowy figure that was so faint it seemed unreal, moving slowly. Could it be anyone other than Tan Hao

Tan Hao didn't know what method he used, hiding in the dark, his breath concealed perfectly, slowly escaping outwards.

At this moment, he was right at the edge of 'Yuehui'. If the masked man's movements were even a little slower, he would have escaped.

It's a pity there are no ifs.

Tan Hao had set up a backup plan in advance just in case, but he hadn't expected that someone with ulterior motives was following him, and they easily broke through his defenses.

Suddenly, as he was reflected in a mirror, Tan Hao was startled. Goosebumps rose on his back. He knew that the person who could follow him here silently and easily pull him out must have cultivation far surpassing his own.

Tan Hao didn't even dare to look back, he didn't even know what kind of person he had offended. His figure suddenly turned into a streak of escaping light, using all his strength to flee outwards.

Although he knew deep down that the chances of escape were almost zero, even a sliver of possibility couldn't be abandoned.

He watched Tan Hao's escaping light with his own eyes, but the masked man didn't immediately chase after him. Surprise and anger at being toyed with flashed in his eyes, almost causing him to laugh out loud at the scene before him.

"Damn it, it's just someone at the Qi Refining stage!" The masked man cursed.

No wonder the masked man was so angry, Qin Sang didn't expect that Tan Hao, when he exerted his full strength with the escape technique, exposed his true cultivation base, which was only at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.

If I had known that Tan Hao only had the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage, the masked man could have easily captured him on Shi Island. Why did he need to stalk him so carefully for so long

It was a strange mask that helped Tan Hao disguise his breath.

Even Qin Sang was blinded by Tan Hao.

Qin Sang had seen artifacts or spells that could conceal one's aura, but such a perfect disguise as a higher realm... he had never seen anything like it before.

This mask is quite peculiar. Even Qin Sang, who is already at the mid-foundation building stage, hasn't noticed anything amiss.

I wonder if those Foundation Establishment Stage masters noticed, but since Tan Hao dared to participate in the auction and the secret market, he must have a lot of confidence in the mask's abilities.

It's definitely impossible to hide from a cultivator at the Dan Formation stage, but a cultivator at that stage wouldn't stoop to embarrass him.

This disguise is actually very transparent and doesn't improve Tan Hao's abilities at all.

Just like now, once Tan Hao engages with someone, he immediately gets seen through.

However, on Shi Island, the rules of Yinshan Pass bound cultivators, who were very restrained and unwilling to fight casually. Tan Hao would never take the initiative to cause trouble, so he kept it hidden until now without being exposed.

Unable to maintain his facade, his true face was exposed to Qin Sang's gaze.

It is indeed Tan Hao!

Compared to his time at the Quyin Sect, he seemed much more mature and older.

Qin Sang was already seventy years old, and Tan Hao was only a few years younger than Qin Sang. Looking at their appearance, Tan Hao seemed to be in his forties, making him appear older than Qin Sang.

For cultivators, this was normal. If Tan Hao couldn't build his foundation, in the next twenty years, his aging speed would be faster, and he would eventually become a white-haired old man.

Ketan Hao is already over sixty years old, and he hasn't been able to build a foundation yet. His hope of building a foundation in the future is very, very small.

Compared to when he was in the Kuiyin Sect, Tan Hao's appearance hadn't changed much. Qin Sang recognized him at first glance.

Tan Hao's former vigor and spirit were gone, replaced by the vicissitudes of life on his face and an undeniable fatigue in his eyes. Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh.

Cultivators, the Immortal Dao they pursue, is so ethereal and elusive. In reality, they are also mortals struggling to survive amidst heaven and earth, just one of countless beings.

The masked man cursed for a few moments to himself, then waited with nonchalance until Tan Hao had put some distance between them. Then he sauntered after him, in his view, the treasures on Tan Hao's person, as well as what he carried in his pouch.

Behind him, Qin Sang also quietly caught up, secretly summoning the Ebony Sword.

He had intended to have the masked man investigate Tan Hao, but now it was unnecessary. In their fight, Tan Hao couldn't last even a few rounds before being slain by the masked man.
