Chapter 272 Concealing Aura
After hearing Wu Chuan's words, the grandmasters and the remaining sixth-rank masters all scattered and ran off to other places.
"Lu Hao, are you going to act alone, or should the four of us go together?"
Wang Jinyang asked.
"As for myself, I plan to infiltrate the big city before any ninth-rank officials appear, and make a killing off them. Maybe I can even get some good stuff."
Lu Hao said that he had thought of the new function on his panel. He now had enough kill points, but it wasn't unlocked yet.
This solo mission is a good opportunity to unlock and see; if it's exactly as described...
Then he'll also go to the mining area of the big city to make a fortune, and while he's at it, see what rare and precious materials he can find.
"Let's go, Lao Wang. Lu Hao is a different kind of opponent than us. Let's take the three of us to check out the surrounding towns. Now that the two of us are at the sixth rank..."
"Perfect opportunity to explore this land and see what rare and precious treasures we can find."
Qin Fengqing said excitedly, after all, he had long wanted to move freely, and he was really drooling over the open underground cave.
If we can find some treasure, we can instantly seal the three gates and catch up with Lu Hao. Otherwise, we might not even be able to see Lu Hao's back anymore.
"You two be careful. Old Wang, keep a close eye on Qin Fengqing. He's too reckless. Without me protecting him, make sure he doesn't provoke any high-ranking officials. Also, be careful of Li Hansong; he's only at the peak of the fourth rank."
"Don't worry, I'll keep Qin Fengqing in check."
After saying that, Lu Hao parted ways with them and ran in one direction. He planned to wait until he could dodge the attack, then check the functions of the control panel before looking for the royal city.
Seeing Lu Haofei leave, Li Hansong, Qin Fengqing, and Wang Jinyang also set off. The direction they were heading was based on Qin Fengqing's intuition. Although it seemed far-fetched, Wang Jinyang still had some confidence in it.
After all, Qin Fengqing was able to descend to the underground caves from the second rank and survive for hundreds of miles, so he must have a lot of luck. Following his intuition might actually lead him to find something good.
Lu Hao was unaware of the three people's situation; if he had known, he would have given the two a thumbs up.
After all, Qin Fengqing is destined to be the third-generation protector of the seed, and there must be a lot of luck involved.
Ignoring all that, Lu Hao ran towards the direction from which the underground cave had attacked, relying entirely on his physical strength to run without using his qi and blood.
Lu Hao could sense that after Wu Chuan released his own blood and energy, the two terrifying auras moved closer to Wu Chuan.
As for the others, they didn't emit any aura, so Lu Hao couldn't sense them.
After driving for a while, about a hundred kilometers, Lu Hao found a prime location and started digging a tunnel.
"I'm already a seventh-grade Grandmaster, and I still have to dig a tunnel in this underground cave. Am I disgracing the ranks of Grandmasters?" Lu Hao couldn't help but think. However, he had no choice, since there were probably seven or eight eighth-grade Grandmasters chasing after him. Lu Hao would have a hard time even fighting one, let alone so many.
Each of them could kill Lu Hao with a single move.
Lu Hao dug the tunnel with incredible speed. With his Grandmaster-level cultivation and extensive tunneling experience, his speed was phenomenal.
In no time, Lu Hao had reached a depth of over a thousand meters underground, a depth that even a ninth-rank cultivator couldn't detect.
Unless a ninth-rank martial artist knows Lu Hao is here and uses their mental power while attacking downwards, they might be able to discover Lu Hao.
After digging the hole to a near completion, Lu Hao stopped. He first set up several layers of mental energy barriers around himself. Since he had no shortage of mental energy, setting up more layers wouldn't hurt, in case the new function on his panel unlocked and caused significant anomalies.
Without a mental barrier, he'd be courting death, so all the preparations absolutely must be done. What's the difference between a 98% chance and zero chance?
After a lot of trouble,
This small cave contains five layers of spiritual energy barriers, with Lu Hao's blood and qi protecting the innermost layer.
Lu Hao could react instantly if anything seemed amiss.
He's already done this much underground, thousands of meters underground. If he's still discovered, then there's nothing he can do.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Hao opened his control panel.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 10324/15324 calories]
[Spirit: 1876/2319 Hertz]
Storage space: 1000 million cubic meters
【Dharma Space 1: 1000】
[Aura Concealed: Not Activated]
Kill Points: 117492 (Can be materialized)
His kill points have now reached over 11, and he has six seventh-rank underground warriors.
The one who provided the most kill points to Lu Hao was that peak seventh-grade underground martial artist, who gave Lu Hao nearly 40,000 kill points.
The other seventh-ranked individuals are much worse, with a combined total of only 7 kill points.
Lu Hao focused his attention on the section of the panel showing those whose auras were hidden.
Instantly, a prompt appeared on the panel: "[Consume 10,000 Kill Points to fuse with hidden aura?]"
Lu Hao stared intently at the two words on the panel.
Integration?
What does this mean?
Lu Hao was stunned. When he saw the message before, he only knew that he didn't have enough killing points. He didn't expect it to be some kind of hidden aura fusion.
Should I merge now?
Lu Hao hesitated for a moment. He was now basically certain that this panel was not from the Three Realms, nor did it seem to be someone's backup plan within the Three Realms. Moreover, Lu Hao knew that there were different seed worlds outside the Three Realms, and this panel might be a product of another seed world. Should he fuse with it? After a while, Lu Hao made up his mind: fuse with it. His current transformation was all thanks to the high-quality energy from the panel. If the panel wanted to control him, it could do so now. The question of whether to fuse or not wasn't that big of a deal. With a determined look, Lu Hao nodded in confirmation.
The next moment, ten thousand kill points disappeared from Lu Hao's panel.
Lu Hao felt his spiritual power leave his body and arrive at a blood-red planet that looked very much like Lu Hao's magic space.
Here Lu Hao saw a seed. The seed looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could see faint blood-red patterns on the seed, as if blood was flowing through it.
The next moment, the seed flew to Lu Hao's front and then entered his body.
Lu Hao instantly underwent a transformation; he felt his entire body changing, or more accurately, mutating.
But the next moment, Lu Hao returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
However, Lu Hao's body has an extra instinctive function. For example, ordinary people eat, sleep, and expend energy. Now Lu Hao has an extra instinctive reaction: he can hide all his energy.
If he were to conceal his abilities from now on, unless the other side were to witness it firsthand,
Otherwise, even a mental scan wouldn't be able to detect Lu Hao's presence.
Lu Hao carefully observed his surroundings, and the more he looked, the more it resembled a magical space. He tried to explore it, but after walking for an unknown amount of time, he couldn't find anything different. It seemed that there was only endless crimson soil, and the so-called sun was nowhere to be seen on the horizon; the crimson light shone from who-knows-where...
