"A High God venting his anger?" Bei Bei heard Lin Lei say that and understood the gravity of the situation.
"Boss, you have a mutated soul. You don't need to bring all your divine incarnations to this battle," Bei Bei transmitted via soul communication.
Lin Lei found this reasoning sound: "True. I'll bring my original body and my Wind System divine incarnation. As for the other three incarnations, they can return to the Yulan Continent." After his soul mutation, the differences between Lin Lei's various divine incarnations were not great. Aside from the original body having the strongest "Will of the Universe," the souls of the Water, Earth, and Wind Systems were nearly equal, with the Fire System being the weakest.
Plus, with the soul mutation, even the Wind System divine incarnation could now utilize Earth System divine power for attacks.
Lin Lei only needed to bring his original body and one divine incarnation to unleash his maximum strength.
"Bei Bei, give me the divine artifact weapon you refined," Lin Lei transmitted.
After all，the other two tokens of identification were hidden inside that divine artifact weapon.
"Boss, why don't I go with you?" Bei Bei suggested. "If you carry that divine artifact weapon, the long staff, yourself, others will be suspicious. After all, you don't use a long staff as your weapon. If I carry it, no one will suspect a thing."
Lin Lei hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Previously, he had tasked Bei Bei with leading the group. Now that one of his divine incarnations was leading everyone away, whether Bei Bei accompanied them or not was irrelevant.
"Alright, let's do it. We leave immediately."
Lin Lei's Fire, Water, and Earth System incarnations merged into one, taking Dilia and the large group with them to the teleportation array on the Bluefloat Continent, bound for the Yulan Continent.
Meanwhile, Lin Lei's original body and Wind System divine incarnation, along with Bei Bei, departed the Bluefloat Continent directly, heading toward the Muya Continent!
The Bluefloat Continent was located in the eastern part of Hell, while the Muya Continent was in the southern part! The distance was at least much closer than between the Purplejade and Muya Continents.
Add in Lin Lei's strength, and their traveling speed was extremely fast.
*Whoosh!*
A metal lifeform skimmed just above the surface of the Star Mist Sea, moving at tremendous speed. Two years had passed since they set out from the Demon Castle.
"According to the intelligence we gathered, Brody killed that tribe chief eight years ago," Lin Lei said, frowning. "Eight years... I wonder where Brody has fled to."
"Boss, do you think Brody is you? He's just an Incarnate High God who refined a divine spark. He couldn't have gone far," Bei Bei said confidently. "The Muya Continent is huge. Based on that tribe's location, there's no way Brody could have flown off the Muya Continent."
"That's not what I'm worried about. It's the... teleportation arrays!" Lin Lei said with concern. "That Luote tribe is nearly ten billion li away from the teleportation nexus on the Muya Continent. A distance of ten billion li. For a High God, even if carrying his wife, eight years would be more than enough time to make the round trip."
"Boss, you mean?" Bei Bei was startled.
"Yes. What if he spent the money to teleport to another plane? That would make things difficult." This was Lin Lei's greatest worry.
Following a teleportation array, especially to a Divine Plane or High Plane like the Underworld, would simply drop him off at one of two teleportation arrays within the Underworld.
"Well..." Bei Bei frowned. "Boss, we got the news a bit late. There are definitely people who knew earlier than us. Moreover, many experts were already on the Muya Continent; their actions must have been faster. I'd guess that under their pursuit and siege, Brody couldn't have escaped just like that."
Lin Lei nodded slightly.
"But Boss," Bei Bei suddenly frowned, "I've realized a problem. Brody—we saw him on the projection, but we have no idea what his aura is like. If Brody changes his appearance, even if he stood right in front of us, we wouldn't recognize him!"
Lin Lei gave a helpless smile.
"I thought of that problem early on. It's true. We've never met the man! So, even if he changes his appearance and stands before us, we won't know! What we can do is: first, go to the Luote tribe and bring a resident along with us. That resident will definitely know Brody, know his aura. Once they see Brody in person, they can identify him. Second, we can watch what the other people hunting Brody do. After all, there are plenty of hunters, and they're all cunning characters with their own methods and networks."
"That's all we can do," Bei Bei nodded.
By this time, their metal lifeform had already entered Muya Continent airspace. The Luote tribe, however, was still in the central part of the continent.
Along the way, Lin Lei and Bei Bei spent three years before finally arriving at a city near the Luote tribe. The lord of the Demon Castle in this city knew of Lin Lei's identity and immediately offered enthusiastic assistance.
"Mr. Lin Lei, recently, there have been very many experts pursuing Brody. Just the six-star and seven-star Demons who have come to our Demon Castle number at least a hundred. They've all hired Luote tribe residents and used their influence to search extensively."
"Has there been any sign of Brody?" Lin Lei asked.
"Three years ago, Brody returned to the Luote tribe once, and then immediately left again," the silver-robed, bald man said quickly.
"Three years ago?" Lin Lei couldn't help but feel a surge of hope.
For an Incarnate High God's speed, three years wasn't enough time to get very far.
"Apart from that time three years ago, has no one spotted Brody in these three years?" Lin Lei inquired.
"Someone has. Just two months ago. A six-star Demon spotted him. But Brody was too cunning and got away again," the castle lord said with a smile.
Lin Lei nodded slightly. Two months ago? It seemed Brody couldn't have fled too far.
"Give me the exact location of the Luote tribe," Lin Lei said.
"Mr. Lin Lei, how about I personally accompany you to the Luote tribe?" the castle lord was very eager.
"That won't be necessary," Lin Lei said lightly.
After obtaining the exact location, Lin Lei and Bei Bei immediately set off for the Luote tribe.
Over these years, many residents of the Luote tribe had been invited to leave by seven-star and six-star Demons, who all offered high prices.
"All of them standing on their hilltops, just hoping some expert will take them to find Brody. Every last one of them just wants money!" the cold, dark-faced old man glanced at the residents on the high mountain peaks and snorted coldly.
