Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 220: Divine Sense Imprint!

Long Chen and Chu Lingjun fled at an extreme speed, arriving within another large mountain range in the blink of an eye. This range had little vegetation and was full of caves, which was why they chose it. This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about a repeat of what had happened earlier.

However, before Long Chen and Chu Lingjun could even catch their breath, they sensed several powerful auras approaching them again. This puzzled Long Chen greatly. How can they know our location so precisely?

"Could we have some kind of mark on us? Is that why they’re able to catch up so quickly?" Long Chen voiced his speculation.

"Very likely." Upon hearing this, Chu Lingjun immediately tried to sense for any foreign energy on her body, but she found nothing.

Long Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. It seems the mark must be on me.

He gathered all the battle qi in his body, unleashing a tremendous force. He used this power to meticulously scan every part of himself. Chu Lingjun observed him carefully and finally discovered a mark on his back!

"There!" she immediately pointed it out.

"As I thought." Long Chen’s brows knitted tightly. "I was too careless. To think someone left a mark on me and I didn’t notice it all this time."

He had failed to detect it the whole time. Otherwise, he and Chu Lingjun wouldn’t have been pushed into such a corner.

"It’s understandable that you didn’t find the mark," Chu Lingjun said lightly. "That man’s methods are far too cunning. Even if he had placed it on me, I probably wouldn’t have noticed either."

"For now, concentrate all your battle qi on this spot and see if you can get rid of it."

"Alright." Long Chen nodded and did as Chu Lingjun instructed. He concentrated all his battle qi on the spot, trying to shatter the mark, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t disappear.

"Damn it! This thing can’t be removed. This means no matter where we go, they’ll know our location." With this in mind, Long Chen looked up at Chu Lingjun. "Following me will only put you in danger. We should go our separate ways. I’ll lead them away while you take this chance to escape and return to the Martial Ancestor. You’ll be safe there."

"And you?" Chu Lingjun’s brows furrowed slightly.

To keep her from worrying, Long Chen gave a faint smile. "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I may not be able to defeat them now, but I still have my ways of escaping their pursuit."

"Enough with the tough talk." Chu Lingjun glanced at Long Chen. "The two of us together were no match for them, let alone you by yourself. Don’t think you can get rid of me with just a few words! What do you take me for?"

"I..." Long Chen was at a loss for words. He wanted to argue, but Chu Lingjun cut him off with a glare. "I, Chu Lingjun, am not some coward who clings to life and fears death! I would never abandon my fellow sect members in the face of a great enemy. That’s not my style."

"But—"

Before Long Chen could finish, Chu Lingjun interrupted him. "Say one more word of nonsense, and we’ll just die here together."

"Fine, fine. There’s just no reasoning with you." Long Chen shook his head helplessly and stopped trying to persuade her to leave.

"For now, we need to figure out how to shake them off our trail," Chu Lingjun mused. "Since we can’t remove the mark, our only option is to find a way to shield it. That’s the only way we can completely escape their pursuit."

Hearing this, Long Chen asked, "Do you have a way?"

"Yes," Chu Lingjun nodded. "I know a method that can temporarily shield the mark, but it won’t last long."

"It doesn’t matter. Let’s try it," Long Chen said immediately.

"Alright." Chu Lingjun’s expression turned serious. This was their only option now.

She told Long Chen to turn around. Then she raised her hand and began forming seals, concentrating her power between two of her fingers.

In the next second, she jabbed her two fingers toward the mark on Long Chen’s back! A powerful energy instantly enveloped it, weakening the signal it emitted. This would create enough interference to throw the members of the World King Palace off their trail.

As Chu Lingjun acted, the pursuing members of the World King Palace noticed that the light from the Divine Sense mark had suddenly dimmed.

"Hm?" Shao Zirui frowned in confusion. "What’s going on? Why has the mark’s signal weakened? Did those two already leave this place?"

"It’s not impossible," one member of the World King Palace mused. "Didn’t that woman use spatial teleportation to escape from the Lord just now? The weakening of this mark might be for the same reason."

Shao Zirui nodded slightly at this, but his gaze remained fixed on the mountain ahead.

"After them!" he commanded. "If they used spatial teleportation again, they must have headed in the same direction, straight ahead! I refuse to believe those two can escape my grasp!"

"Yes, sir!"

At Shao Zirui’s command, the members of the World King Palace immediately crossed the mountain and continued the chase in the same direction.

Meanwhile, Long Chen and Chu Lingjun, who were hiding at the mouth of a cave, only emerged after sensing the powerful auras moving away and growing fainter. They immediately headed straight for the God-Devil Domain. The World King Palace’s control over that region was weak, and only there could Long Chen truly escape their pursuit.

Furthermore, Chu Lingjun’s shielding technique would only last for ten minutes. During this time, they had to travel at extreme speed, not daring to waste a single moment. If the group from the World King Palace caught up, their situation would become extremely dangerous.

They pressed onward! For the entire ten minutes, Long Chen and Chu Lingjun didn’t rest for a moment. They left the borders of the Wilderness Region behind, crossing one mountain range after another. They only stopped to rest when they felt they had finally shaken their pursuers completely.

Chu Lingjun was drained. The constant circulation of her battle qi, combined with the internal injury she had sustained from resisting the Fiery Fire Array, had taken its toll. She needed to find a place to recuperate.

Long Chen scanned their surroundings, also using his Divine Demon Eye to confirm there were no threats. Only then did he speak. "This place should be safe."

"You should recuperate first. I’ll keep watch." As he spoke, he took out an Elixir Pill and offered it to her. "Take this. It will help your internal injury heal faster."

Chu Lingjun glanced at the Elixir Pill, then looked at Long Chen. "And you?"

"Don’t worry, I have plenty more." Fearing she wouldn’t believe him, Long Chen calmly took a whole bottle of healing Elixir Pills from his Storage Ring.

Seeing the bottle of Elixir Pills, Chu Lingjun no longer hesitated. She took the one he offered, swallowed it, and said, "Thank you."

"Don’t say that. I don’t deserve your thanks."

"If anyone should be saying thank you, it’s me," he continued. "If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t even be standing here talking to you right now."

"I’ll start healing now." Chu Lingjun knew their situation was still precarious. Recovering from her injuries as quickly as possible was the top priority.

After Chu Lingjun began to meditate and heal, Long Chen found a spot to sit nearby and stood guard.

The surroundings were utterly silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Long Chen didn’t dare to relax for a second, remaining constantly vigilant.

But just then, a cold voice suddenly echoed from the distance. "You two are quite good at running. Why have you stopped now?"

Hearing this voice, Long Chen shot to his feet, his brows knitting together tightly.

He scanned the area but saw no one. Only the cold, mocking voice continued to reverberate around them.
