Book 12: Chapter 81: Soft (2)

News that a coalition arrest warrant had been levied against the third ranked mortal on the certification ranking spread like wildfire. It was already rare enough for such a warrant to be released in the first place, the fact it was a Tier 5 one was even more shocking, but for the person in question to be such a high profile figure in addition to all of this lit a fire that the Immortal Plane hadn’t seen in a very long time.

The star segment of the Vio Clan and the Dark Flame bubble might have been in a state of turmoil due to the coming Void Surge, but they were but one corner of the impossibly vast Immortal Plane. Their plight was hardly on the radar of many other places.

That said… It was as though some didn’t pick up on this oddity. This was already the tenth void surge in the last century. There was no connection between them, seemingly happening in completely different corners of the plane without rhyme or reason, but it was a fact that they were occurring more often than ever now.

As a result, the Void Coalition Army’s influence was likewise increasing. It was the natural cycle of their existence. In times of peace, their overseers would be at their weakest. However, in times of peril, they would surge back up just when everyone remembered just how useful they were to maintaining the peace of the Immortal Plane and fighting off void beasts.

As a result of this, the coalition arrest warrant was at its most powerful now more than it had been in a long while. And… more powerful clans were far more likely to participate as well.

“What do you want to do now?”

Dyon smiled at Lilith’s question. “Go to the battlefield of course.”

Three incredulous gazes landed on Dyon. Void battlefields were where the influence of the coalition was the fiercest, and, unlike before where it was smartest to hide in the most dangerous spot, it wasn’t this time around.

The reason for this was because the void would be the first place the Immortal Hunters looked for Dyon. While it was the one place the coalition had the greatest influence, it was also practically the only place a cultivator with an arrest warrant on their heads could go.

Due to the influence of the coalition, using teleportation arrays to enter a new bubble world was nearly impossible. Not only would your qi signature be memorized, but so would your soul signature. In any world at and above the level of the Dark Flame bubble world, and even a few of slightly lower level, you would be found immediately the moment you used a teleportation array to enter.

However, Dyon had an advantage many didn’t, which was another justification for his high arrest warrant tier, or so those old fogies would have others believe: he was able to travel to these worlds under his own ability and shield himself from detection with his Immortal Sense.

Yet, he didn’t want to use this very obvious advantage. To make matters worse, he was going to the same place that Immortal God had wanted to bring him anyway! He could have avoided all of this!

Dyon smiled but didn’t say much more.

He had wanted to go to the void battlefield from the beginning, he just hadn’t been quite strong enough yet. But now he was a little bit more confident in his own strength.

Where there was the most danger, there was also the most opportunity. And void beasts in particular were an interesting avenue that Dyon was eager to pursue.

“Alright, you’re free to go now. I have no idea where the phoenix clan’s hegemon is, but I’m sure you’ll be alright to find out on your own, right?”

At this moment, Dyon hadn’t actually left the Dark Flame bubble world. Or, he had, but not really. He had simply entered the Ancient Battlefield and was currently in the abode he had built for himself, Saru and Lilith.

Though he was able to teleport to a new world with his abilities, he was also aware of enough to know that such a method could be tracked by a skilled enough formation expert. So, instead, he faked his teleportation and entered his constitution’s world. Like this, when those so-called Immortal Hunters came, they’d find lingering remnants of a teleportation that took them to a world he was nowhere near.

In addition, they’d then realize that Dyon had the ability to teleport to world’s himself, thus making it less likely that they would come to find him on the void battlefield.

The only flaw in this plan was that these hunters most definitely didn’t share information amongst themselves, after all, they were rivals fighting after his bounty. As a result, the impact of this misdirection would be a bit lacking. However, Dyon had considered this as well…

Who would this scheme be most likely to affect? Wouldn’t it be those hunters with the highest level of skill that managed to both arrive at his location before most others and managed to complete the incredibly difficult task of ‘tracking’ him?

If he could cause those monsters to lag behind by a few steps, believing themselves to be intelligent, then wouldn’t it be worth it?

“… Yes…” Amethyst said.

She was still unaware of exactly where they were. She likely believed that this was just another bubble world with strong suppressive abilities. It wasn’t as though she had ever stepped foot out of the Dark Flame bubble world.

Her words had barely come out when Dyon gave her a thumbs up and sent her out, leaving no one but the three of them.
