Lu Chen had been exceedingly cautious, not daring to use his spiritual power, much less the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to detect Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei acted similarly, transformed into a small snake hidden under the tree spirit, not daring to peek out to survey the surroundings.
Thus, neither party discovered the other.
Lu Chen took a detour, arriving ahead of the tree spirit and the Xuanji Sect Master.
Xiao Hei was closely following right below the withered wood.
At that moment, Lu Chen, ahead of them, was also holding the Mysterious Iron Spear, continuously communicating with the spear spirit.
Finally.
An hour later, a voice full of surprise from the spear spirit rang inside Lu Chen's mind!
"Master, it seems to be nearby, take a look around!"
Lu Chen was overjoyed in his heart and quickly stopped in his tracks.
However, he didn't rush into any other actions but first lay down, pressing his ear against the ground.
