lets name the other three person in the group as lacky 1 ,2 , 3 as they only have minor parts in the story.
"Young master, you was really fearless, using an spell like devil illusion on senior brother".
Said lacky 2 in a tone that seems to be praised.
Hearing him a frown appeared on The young master face .
" what do you mean?".
He asked with confusion as well as cold glare toward him making him shut up immediately.
To which the other three doesn't immediately answer but instead they blankly looked at each other for some moments after which they asked him a question.
" Young master may we ask , when do we use devil illusion" asked lacky 1 in respectful tone.
"Why, do you guys don't even know that" said young master, giving the other a curious look.
The other three hurriedly nodded.
"Sigh, Devil illusion intermediate level three spell used to trigger one's most feared memory, there is also some slight chances of coming across his/her inner devil which may result in demon tribulation if he/she doesn't have any formation around him , can only be used on cultivator with various defence form-" He said with some condescend and high pitch voice, as an leader of the other three he also have to make an impression on them as their boss, but half way through he stopped speaking as he realise something.
He stood up immediately, as his face became ashen.
"Hahahhah…." Soon after that a huge laughter resounded making the deathly bored wasteland some what livelier.
"No, wonder people called you ignorant you really deserve your fame" Lacky2 ,with mocking tone.
seems like he really is an idiot, mocking his boss will only serve him pain.
And true enough, just one second passed, he regretted saying that, as just a moments later he found himself flying midair, until he slammed to Gaint rock.
Bang
The other two have lacky sighed as soon as they heard the bang sound they know who he was.
"so you guys were saying something " said the young master with slight smile.
"Noth..Nothing" said the both of them with trembling voice.
...….
Half an hour before.
The three figures he found approaching previously were none other than his subordinates, they were baffled to see their boss in dire condition, seeing their boss who is laying in front of a rock, they hurriedly approached and feed him recovery drug.
Soon after all the deep cut and wounds started healing themselves with visible speed only leaving some imperceptible traces.
As soon as the young master recovered , he immediately put on new clothes throwing away the ragged one and started running toward his senior brother direction with the others behind him.
...…
Present,
The young master slightly smile, he turn away and stated running while the other two sighed in relief.
He was not a fool, nor a stupid but a slow witted man, when he previously attacked senior brother with devil illusion he himself wasn't fully aware of its aftereffect or he does but he temporarily forget about it considering the pressuring state in which he cast the spell.
At that time there was only one thing on his mind to wake up senior brother as soon as possible, At that moment anxiety eclipsed his thought resulting in current situation.
Devil illusion is an intermediate spell. Although it might sound dangerous by its name its was actually an spell designed to signal cultivators in seclusion.
Whenever a cultivator goes in seclusion he/she will throughly prepared various formation around him, like energy gathering formation, noise cancelation as well defence artifact to suit his situation.
Once gone in seclusion there isn't a time limit to how much time he/she will take before cessation, it may take ten ,thirty, fifty years or even decade sometimes before ending it.
Due to various powerful formation around them, every cultivator in seclusion remained undisturbed and unruffled until they came out of isolation themselves.
Only the higher order elders are allowed to go into seclusion for more than fifty years which is quite worthy for them, given their profound knowledge as well as extraordinary powers but this also create a huge disadvantage for the others.
The drawback of not being helped in dangerous situation.
To overcome this drawback they created devil illusion to communicate with them in seclusion in case of emergencies. As the son of an esteemed elder he clearly know about it.
But, The more he think about it now the more frantic he became, Although he was acting tough in front of his subordinate, in truth, he had already gone through various act of excuses and glamorous gifts that he can afford by himself or by requesting from his father, to apologise to senior brother.
Using devil illusion on someone without any formation and defence artifact is same as killing them, no matter what, once faced with inner devil, demon tribulation, there are very low chances of conquering it, Faced by ones most fearful memory everyone will have a hard time going through it.
"Forget it, this thing can also be done in future for now senior brother should have already captured her, right?." He said with an smirk on his face.
The Other three have already caught up to him, seeing the three approaching , he increase his speed and outpace them without any difficulty.
The only reason he was running with low speed till now was to just conform the condition of his subordinates, ruthless he may be , but even, he will not leave his subordinate behind.
Seeing his subordinate in good condition he unleased his speed as there wasn't any reason for him to slow down his pace anymore.
After running for half an hour, his surrounding also started changing there were no longer the barren land with large crack in it instead the land had started to become humid and green gass could be seen often giving an faint sigh of life in it.
The burning heat has also seemed to lessen somewhat giving birth to a little humidity, but that thing doesn't bring him any delight to him, rather it seems that his fear has been pushed to another level.
Although it may seems that the young master is only focused on catching up to his senior brother, but in truth he had already notice the changes around him long ago, As only he knew the aftermath of the changes in his surrounding.
"The wasteland has came to end" he said inwardly trying his hard to oppose his thoughts, but the more distance he covers the more greenery came to his sight, slightly decreasing the temperature and increasing the humidity around him.
Soon enough, some moment later Green field with huge trees, large river and various kind of plants soon came into vision , seeing that he almost lose all hope and started shivering with fear.
From the moment he started running there wasn't any living creature that could have escape his range, On surface it may seem that he was only running for half an hour but in truth besides running he was also searching to whatever trace of any living being that could give him a hint about his senior brother location.
Because of that he had almost used every ounce of energy inside him, drained of energy, he was having a lot of trouble to even take a breath , covered in sweat all over his body with his ashen face ,he cast a last glance at the green field with his eyes full of hope.as well as an unspeakable fear.
But to no avail, devoid of hope he turned away, and started walking back from where he came from, he took out a blue pill from his pouch and eat it immediately.
After some moments of devouring the pill his ashen face started to change to normal while his energy also seems to recovered a bit as his breathing started to return to being normal.
"Look like , I really have to go through the punishment of abducting the lady" he said with an sigh at this moments he look like an old man who suddenly lost all his hope to continue living.
With long sigh he started walking again with increased pace but just before walking away he have a strong urge to look behind him once more, carried by the strong urge he gazed behind with his eyes void of hope.
To surprise he saw a muscular man shadow nearing him At instance his heart skipped a beat and started thumping madly due to fear and anxiety.
"If senior brother isn't able to return with the lady in the mean time it only mean one thing" he told to himself watching the shadow.
Shuddering with fear he tried his hard to not speak but only one word came out from his mouth --- leo lang.
Surprisingly this time he didn't shudder nor did he try to run away he just stand still there without any unnecessary moments.
" I can't outran him even if I try to, nor can I fight against him, the more I struggle now the miserable will be my punishment later on, Then why do I even try." he told himself shuddering.
Well it was true , and he also know it himself, considering leo lang power level even his father won't be able to save him , not to mention himself, that was the reason why he became utterly terrified when senior brother mention leo lang previously.
Leo lang is the Most powerful officer of lawsuit, and always hated criminal, no matter the crime there has been only one punishment for every offence, under his jurisdiction which is crippling.
He cripple the spirit pool of the cultivator making them unable to cultivate for his remaining life.
