Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 462 - 308: Tracking
After bidding farewell to Taoist Qiu, Su Jie did not delay any further and once again prepared to set off on his journey.
"Junior Brother Su, please wait."
However, a voice suddenly called out to Su Jie, its crisp tone laced with a hint of seductiveness.
Su Jie turned his head to see a charming woman approaching with graceful, lotus-like steps.
She was dressed in a bright red silk gown, the neckline plunging low to reveal her full, snowy-white breasts, her face as delicate as a lotus, eyebrows like willows, and peach blossom-like eyes that were particularly captivating. Her black hair was piled into a tall, elegant bun.
"Senior Yu, what's the matter?"
Su Jie narrowed his eyes; the person approaching was Yu Wenxian. Observing her aura, she had reached the pinnacle of the Yunling Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Secret Realm. However, cultivators halted by this step were as common as carps crossing a river throughout history.
"Can't I find Junior Brother Su for a chat if there's nothing important? Now that Junior Brother has become an Elder, I just wanted to ask for some guidance on cultivation!"
Her tone was half-teasing. If it had been any clueless junior disciple, they might have been beguiled by the beauty that was Yu Wenxian.
"Senior Yu, if you wish to ask for guidance, let's wait until we return to the Mountain Gate. I have a mission at hand and can't stay to chat for long."
Su Jie showed no hint of being moved and calmly declined Yu Wenxian's approach.
"Junior Brother Su, are you looking down on your sister?"
Yu Wenxian clutched Su Jie's arm with a teary expression that would evoke pity in anyone.
"I truly have urgent matters to attend to, Senior Yu. If you're really in a hurry, you might consider asking the Master instead."
With a flick of his arm, Su Jie shook her off and said, "Time is short, I need to be on my way."
After leaving these words behind, Su Jie turned and rose into the sky on the back of the Thousand-Handed Centipede.
Watching Su Jie's figure disappear into the horizon, Yu Wenxian's lips curled into a captivating smile.
"Ha! His location is confirmed, now it's up to the Elders."
In the palm of Yu Wenxian's hand, a faint fluorescence flashed for a moment. The instant her palm touched Su Jie's body, she had applied a special Tracking Powder from the Desire Sect, which even the Secret Realm Elders would find difficult to detect.
Yu Wenxian had waited a long time for this opportunity. She didn't have the chance to take action within Ghost Ridge Palace unless she wanted to be caught and subject to extreme punishment.
But this outing was Yu Wenxian's only chance. Once the sect war ended and Su Jie returned to Ghost Ridge Palace, she would no longer have an opportunity.
"An Immortal Seed is enough to satisfy the sect. The Sect Master will also let me return to the Desire Sect."
Murmuring to herself, Yu Wenxian's emotions surged as she envisioned a beautiful future, her smile growing hotter.
........
On the horizon!
Su Jie sat cross-legged on the head of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, his left hand clutching his right shoulder. With a ripping sound,
he tore off his entire right arm, blood gushing from the break in a spray. But within three seconds the bleeding stopped, followed by rapid growth of flesh, and in less than half a minute, a new arm had regrown.
The arm that Su Jie had torn off struggled as if alive, with green veins throbbing under the skin, appearing incredibly eerie.
"Tsk, interesting. Is this some kind of pheromone, attempting to track my location? Senior Yu, what exactly are you plotting?"
Su Jie cradled his chin with his remaining hand, examining the severed arm.
On the arm, there were undetectable traces of a certain pheromone, something neither the common folk nor those in the Secret Realm could easily notice.
But Su Jie was not among those who could be easily fooled. His Divine Soul was much stronger than that of the typical Secret Realm Elder, having undergone several enhancements, his Divine Sense was astonishing.
Furthermore, of all places, Yu Wenxian chose to leave her trace on Su Jie's arm, unaware that his Lifebound Poisonous Insect was the Thousand-Handed Centipede, and Su Jie was particularly sensitive to changes in his arms.
The trace Yu Wenxian left on his hand, which she thought could deceive anyone, was in reality unable to escape Su Jie's keen sight.
"Do you need me to handle it? It's a matter of minutes,"
Han Ruyan appeared beside Su Jie, her face void of emotion as she spoke of the murderous option.
For now, there's no rush. Whoever dares target an Elder from the Secret Realm, the enemy that this Tracking Powder lures must also be from the Secret Realm. It's perfect for using them to my advantage."
Su Jie shook his head. Yu Wenxian was only at the Ten Levels of Yunling Realm in terms of cultivation. Now that he knew she harboured ill intentions towards him, she no longer posed a threat.
As he spoke, the flesh on Su Jie's forehead split open to unveil the Heavenly Eye, connecting with the Tao River.
Having once sensed the aura of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, Su Jie now intended to use the Heavenly Eye to lock onto similar auras.
This was not difficult since the Tao Formation needed to constantly connect with the Heavenly Dao, like digging a small channel next to a large river, a Tao aura constantly flowing out into reality.
Transformed by the Array, this Tao aura had a unique signature that spread far and wide, allowing Su Jie to easily pinpoint its approximate direction.
"Southwest."
Su Jie narrowed his eyes, tucked the severed arm into his chest, and then rode the Thousand-Handed Centipede off at breakneck speed.
This time he didn't need to bring anyone, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede shrank to just a few meters in size. It slowed down and weaved through the clouds.

Su Jie also used his Primordial Spirit to shield against detection Arrays, making it very difficult for Righteous Sects to spot him.
Unless someone was specifically monitoring a wide area of the sky, it was almost impossible for them to intercept Su Jie without knowing his intended path.
During his flight, Su Jie saw countless patrol teams from the Righteous Sects, and occasionally sensed auras bearing the pressure of Secret Realm cultivation.
Clearly, the attack by Ghost Ridge Palace the previous day had thoroughly enraged these Righteous Sects – they were now actively hunting and on high alert.
