Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1768

Chapter 1768 Whisker at Work

Whisker scuttled along the side of the road, his aura completely gone from all around him. He looked at the sky in the distance where the giant ship hung in the air, and tiny humans in the sky fought like gods, sending tremors through the city.

Most of the city had evacuated already. Since everyone was a cultivator, it didn't take the people to close the shop and leave immediately.

It took Whisker a moment before he arrived at the building he had been looking for.

'Finally,' he thought. He was supposed to have found it long ago.

His little whiskers moved in the wind, sensing all sorts of information through them. He got simple information like sight, smell, sound, and even taste of whatever was in the air through his whiskers, and he got some more complex information such as temperature, pressure, and such.

On top of that, he sensed any sort of elemental or non-elemental aura all around him, giving him an accurate idea of where he was and what sort of place he was in.

This feature was the main reason Seeking Mouses were so sought out for. Their ability to gain so much information through their whiskers and then relay it back to the cultivator that owned them made them invaluable during many expeditions where every other step had to be taken with thoughtful care.

Whisker slowly moved forward toward the building, sensing the complete lack of any sort of formations beside a barrier that had been put up to defend them from any attacks that might come down from the sky.

A simple shadow step using the Flickering Shadows technique sent Whisker inside the barrier, and he continued his investigation.

Arriving at the window of a room, Whisker looked inside. The room had 3 people inside, two men and a woman, all of whom looked to be in their middle ages.

Whisker tried sensing their aura, but it was difficult from outside the window. He needed to either get inside or send his senses inside, neither of which he could do right at the moment.

He couldn't attack these people who were bound to be strong by himself anyway. He needed to drag them out.

He looked through the window for a short while longer before rushing back outside the formation, running to a building just a couple of buildings down the road.

Long Huan stood still with a young man who had a giant sword resting on his shoulders.

"Senior, what did you see?" Shan Wangjiu asked Whisker.

The young man whom Alex had taught sword skills back in the Martial Transcendence ground was now with the two of them.

Long Huan stood up straight. "I am Long Huan, the second prince of the Empire. As someone of the Head Legion, you should recognize me," he said quickly.

The woman's eyes narrowed. At first, she wondered if she was being pranked or something, but the longer she looked, the more she was certain that the man in front of him was telling the truth.

"Your Highness," the woman said. "What brings you here to our headquarters?"

"Me and my friend here need passage inside," Long Huan said.

"Oh, is that so?" the woman asked with a gentle smile but remained unmoving. A moment later, the other two men that were inside the building walked out, both of them looking at the prince while nodding.

Long Huan grimaced a little. This wasn't going just as he had planned.

"Are you going to stand there or let me in?" Long Huan asked. "Surely you're not going to deny my order, are you?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure, Your Highness," the woman said. "We have been informed that you are an enemy of the empire now and you are to be captured on sight."

As the woman said that, four other people arrived down from the sky, outside of the barrier.

Shan Wangjiu took his long sword, brandishing it as he prepared to fight. The ones in the sky looked strong, but so was he.

Long Huan looked at the woman in front and the two men, slowly judging their power. They were in the Early Saint Transformation realm, meaning they were stronger than every single one of them here.

Long Huan sighed and looked toward Shan Wangjiu. He placed his left hand on the young man's shoulders and looked at the sky as he brought a black sword out.

"Those aren't the ones we will be fighting," Long Huan said and activated the Ebony sword. In a snap, he appeared beyond the barrier, teleporting right behind the three people.

"They are!"

Before the three could even turn around, Whisker had already pulled out 3 wooden puppets to deal with them.

Each of the three puppets was an Immortal puppet.
