As he escaped through the woods of Mount Fukasu, using illusion formations and erasing his trail as tread towards the safe house. The elders from the Hall of Cultivation, known to be the great cultivators at the Ancient Sage Realm could still find him as he was flying low, with a hand pressed again the wound on his abdomen trying to stop the bleeding and start healing, while the other hand is used to control his Mecha with utmost precision to avoid a collision.
Elder Li spoke out loud, imbued with spiritual Qi, "Stop! We have no reason to harm you, young one, we only wish to become your benefactors."
Elder Li and his companions all hid a vicious smirk in their earnest, harmless expressions.
Exhausted after replying to the same question again and again, "I need no more benefactors, Lou shi has been and always will be my only benefactor and the one I, Yu-Long will call as a teacher"
'I know you are only looking for me to discover the secrets of my cultivation and my superior pure Qi running through my meridians, I may look innocent, but I for one am not a fool who can't notice the act of a white lotus flower.'
Yu-Long had been escaping for quite a while now, and he had already used all the fuel in his Phantom Mecha. So he ejected out from the mecha by using the emergency exit. The parachute launched out far from his current position yet was still not close enough to the safe house, which was being protected by an array and formation made by his teacher Lou Shi who was nearly a Celestial Sage Realm cultivator. Upon landing, he immediately stored it in his storage, which could only open by injecting his Qi into it.
Elder Li harrumphed at this thought, that the little brat still thought his teacher was alive. What a joke.
"You little brat, listen to your elders, even after being chased by the Ultimate Mecha Squad, we are still putting your safety as our priority rather than throwing you into the sea where you won't find a way out. Do you still dare to say such a thing?? Do you not have any respect left for your elders!?"
"Elder Li, with all due respect for everything you may have tried to do, to help me in the past, you lost that right when you took it too far by killing my teacher right in front of me!"
Shouting out loud with all emotions brewing up inside, he started coughing up blood as it had disrupted his Qi flow.
All the elders now looked at him with a vicious glare that could give anyone the chills running down their spine, as one tried to come up with a sane thought to what they were thinking of doing next.
They all looked at each other in unison and looked back at him. This action of theirs gave Yu-Long chills running up his spine.
'Damn, I knew these old fogies were not up to anything good. Now they became even more vicious and have thought up of more vile, insane, inhumane torturous methods on how to deal with a person like me. '
'Sure, got to hand it to them though, they gave me nearly 7 years to live my life without getting an untimely death warrant sanctioned. Now I will start my vanishing act! Just you oldies wait and watch.'
Yu-Long started sprinting towards the safe house with the insignificant amount of energy he had left in him.
Elder Li ordered his companions to assist him in creating a deadly sealing array formation combined with a hell formation that was used in worst-case scenarios only.
Upon noticing the fluctuation in the spiritual Qi in the atmosphere and a black aura surrounding the elders in the sky, Yu-Long laughed and spoke out with a tinge of sarcasm, " Ahh, so finally things have come to this. I guess I have to make things even flashier now and leave."
Yu-Long started driving his Qi, " I bid farewell and good health to all my elders, hope we can meet again in the next lifetime." Bowing to all the elders flying high in the sky with his hands clasped together as he made his move.
The way he drove his Qi, they combined at the very core of his body. This method allowed him to bring out his innate potential, which was shrouded to a certain extent.
He calmly raised his finger towards the sky, following which a huge ray of light beamed upon him in the night. It brought the primordial soul out from his body. This was a method commonly used by soul cultivators who were rather quite a few on the entire continent.
He drove his Qi again, centred at his mind to perform a secret art which would help him traverse dimensions across if his body died.
....
...
..
"Hehe... Behold this beautiful site as I am about to perform my very own secret art." He smirked as he looked at the ignorant seniors.
"Unravelling Dimension Distortion- Soul Traversing Art."
..
.
A dark black vortex now could be seen right in front of him.
Shocked by the turn of events, it bewildered the elders. This caused an abrupt stop to the completion of the sealing array and hell formation.
Elder Li was speechless at this, turned towards the adolescent boy. " You ....!!!! Brat!, It doesn't matter which where you go trying to hide from us or taking responsibility for your actions, you will get captured by either the Hall of Cultivation or the Mecha Squads from the Imperial Institute of Reviere and Royal Mechanisation Institute of VonClay."
The words that Elder Li told did not even register in Yu-Long's mind as he got sucked into the vortex.
The vortex closed immediately after Yu-Long entered. The inside of the vortex of filled with nothing but darkness and high-speed winds blowing continuously.
After the disappearance of Yu-Long's soul, his body now soulless fell to the ground and turned cold. Upon turning cold, it turned to ashes in the matter of a few seconds because of a seal which Yu-Long had placed on his body if such a situation ever came into occurrence where his soul would be the only one crossing over dimensions.
Disappointed that even after all they did, they still couldn't get a hold on the secrets to Yu-Long's cultivation, all elder's left and returned to the Hall of Cultivation.
Succumbing to the darkness, Yu-Long, exhausted to the brim with no amount of soul energy left, entered a deep slumber.
