Wait a minute, where is my master?

Then, Ye Fudao bit hard on the tip of his tongue. Instantly, three blood beads of different colors spurted out of his mouth and fell onto the hair-thin golden thread.

"Return, soul!"

A low and admonishing voice drifted over the surface of the Four-colored Pond Water as the golden silk, tainted with the blood from Ye Fudao's tongue tip, suddenly burst into a brilliant radiance.

About three breaths later,

A soul, resembling a beautiful woman but appearing very faint and insubstantial, clung to the golden silk and appeared above the small platform.

"Is this... my lord?"

The faint soul of the woman was initially confused, but upon seeing Ye Fudao in his hemp robe, she couldn't help but exclaim joyfully.

At the same time, her soul clinging to the golden silk, perhaps due to the overwhelming joy, began to flicker rapidly like a candle about to burn out.

"Focus! Calm down! You are in a remnant soul state now, avoid extreme emotions of joy or sorrow, otherwise, you could easily dissipate."

"Especially since this place is still under the suppression arranged by those four old fellows."

Ye Fudao watched the faint soul of the woman on the golden silk and seriously warned her.

Afterward, while transferring Immortal Essence to her remnant soul, he posed a question.

"Little Jin, did those four old things find a way to break free from my Forget Law's influence and discover you in Chaos Space? Why was your Divine Soul suddenly destroyed by ninety-eight percent? Who did this!?"

"Over the years, has the Ink Jade Immortal Essence you collected fallen into the hands of the person who attacked you?"

The faint soul of the woman, upon hearing her master's questions, initially didn't think much of it.

However, as she opened her mouth to speak, her already stabilizing remnant soul began to violently tremble once more.

"What's going on, why can't I control my mouth? Has ninety-eight percent of my Divine Soul been destroyed, and yet my remnant soul still hasn't escaped the influence of the 'Truth-Telling Skill'?"

The woman initially wanted to convey the crucial point first, informing her master that he might have been targeted by a mysterious and terrifying existence that possibly had the capability to track people through their souls!

However, still under the influence of the "Truth-Telling Skill," she could only helplessly answer the questions in the sequence asked by Ye Fudao.

You know, in clashes between experts, a slight deviation can lead to a vast error, and just in the time it took to answer a few questions, the faint soul of the woman suspected that the Taoist might have already locked onto her current location.

"My lord, I do not know whether the Four Divine Monarchs have escaped the influence of your Forget Law. My Divine Soul was, because of soul splitting in a small world during a normal 'preaching' process...

"Later, it was directly severed by the Taoist with a Golden Thunderbolt.

"The Ink Jade Immortal Essence has also fallen into that Taoist's hands."

The woman's remnant soul almost tearfully completed answering Ye Fudao's questions. Then, just as she intended to speak about the crucial point, she heard her master speak.

"I told you to concentrate, Little Jin, what's happening to you? This severe trembling of the soul is very risky; you could easily scatter!"

Ye Fudao expressed his concern for his subordinate and then his expression turned somewhat ugly as he muttered.

"A Taoist? Severed by a Golden Thunderbolt?"

"My lord, it is because I can't say what I want to say, and it's the anxiety causing my remnant soul to tremble like this."

The woman's remnant soul spoke truthfully, continuing her words non-stop.

"My lord, please erase this fragment of my remnant soul; that Taoist is terrifyingly powerful, fully capable of defeating or even eliminating you.

"In my view, even if the Four Divine Monarchs of the Four Symbols Great Thousand Realm join forces, they might not be a match for him.

"Moreover, from his implications, he seems to be targeting you. Also, this Taoist possesses some unknown magic for tracking people through their Divine Soul. So please quickly erase this strand of my soul, though now I don't know if it's still timely!"

As the three drops of Ye Fudao's blood were on the golden silk, the woman's remnant soul currently couldn't even destroy herself.

"Targeting me? Why didn't you say such important information at the very beginning!"

After hearing the tearful words of the faint soul of the woman, Ye Fudao was initially stunned and then showed an extremely pained expression on his face.

"Right, it seems he's targeting me. I was affected by that Taoist's 'Truth-Telling Skill': whoever asks, I must answer first; that's why I couldn't tell you immediately."

"Oh, right. Zi Ji also appears to have died at the hands of that Taoist, and the other party even asked if you frequently used any rod-like extraordinary treasures."

The woman's lingering soul was still responsive to questions at this moment, and after answering, she took the time to provide her master with some additional intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fudao's expression, initially resembling a painful toothache, instantly turned solemn.

His youthful appearance also started to switch back and forth with an aged look.

"Little Taoist, fishing rod, Golden Thunderbolt, Little Zi lost contact and also suspected this man's doing? Could it be that I have been outsmarted?"

Thoughts raced through Ye Fudao's mind; he began to suspect whether some terrifying existence above the Great Thousand Realm had already set its sights on him, thus so precisely destroying most of his major arrangements.

It seemed as if it was directed particularly at him.

"But how could an existence above the Great Thousand Realm have such spare time? I'm just a hopeful…"

"Master, that little Taoist has a soul tracking method; you should hurry and dispose of me…"

While pondering, it took no more than a moment before Ye Fudao heard the woman's lingering soul again and immediately waved his hand without hesitation.

The golden silk that the woman's lingering soul was attached to suddenly shattered.

This loyal woman, even fearing implicating her master in death, was thus casually erased.

Having done this, several thoughts swiftly passed through Ye Fudao's mind.

Then, he stooped to press the small platform beneath his feet; the rune symbolizing the Forget Law attached to the Four-colored Pond Water was instantly retracted by him and reinserted into his forehead.

Afterward, without hesitation, Ye Fudao condensed a stream of Immortal Law in his palm and heavily smashed it towards the Four-colored Lake before him.

"Boom!"

"Splash!!"

Countless splashes erupted as the Four-colored Lake, having been attacked, instantly burst forth with endless Four Symbols Power, beginning its counterattack against Ye Fudao above the small platform.

Ye Fudao himself, unwilling to show weakness, fiercely contended with the Four Symbols Power emanating from the lake using the Controlled Rune.

Meanwhile, within the Four Symbols Great Thousand Realm.

The Four Divine Monarchs, who had been eroded by the Forget Law for many years and mostly spent their time in slumber, suddenly moved in unison to open their eyes and rapidly flew towards the location sealing Ye Fudao.

Why had Ye Fudao suddenly acted in such a manner?

According to his calculation, there was a seventy to eighty percent chance that the little Taoist had no dealings with the Four Divine Monarchs; otherwise, the latter wouldn't have just watched the Divine Monarchs be corroded by the Forget Law over the years.

And Little Jin had mentioned that the opponent seemed capable of tracking souls and was definitely more powerful than him. After all, when he hoodwinked that little demon cultivator from the Nine Provinces Realm previously, he had briefly felt the terror of the opponent's Flame Skill.

Therefore, without being sure whether the opponent had truly locked onto his location,

the best strategy Ye Fudao could think of was to muddy the waters, just in case the mysterious little Taoist appeared soon and the old fellows from the Four Divine Monarchs came here to replenish the Four Symbols Power.

Perhaps he could use the Forget Law to instigate discord between them.

By doing so, not only could he rid himself of that mysterious being's pursuit, but Ye Fudao might also seize this opportunity to escape from this place directly.

However…

At this moment, what was the little Taoist who had even provoked the Four Divine Monarchs doing that alarmed Ye Fudao?

...

In the Chaos Space.

Jin Xu and his companions were marveling around the mysterious fountain that had burst forth from the Chaos Space.

The reason was already figured out by the little Taoist; his "Hand Palm Thunder" had struck, coincidentally breaking open a space crack.

And on the other side of the space crack was the seabed of a Small Thousand Realm,

hence the fountain appeared out of nowhere in this Chaos…

Even occasionally spouting fish, shrimp, and crabs created a bizarre spectacle.
