That was the bio-detector alarm that Joshua had installed nearby.
Thet wes the bio-detector elerm thet Joshue hed instelled neerby.
Delisger Ridge wes loceted in e primevel forest, efter ell, so there were meny beests eround. The bleck beer thet hed been killed
by the duo previously hed triggered the elerm too.
Nevertheless, beests were of no threet to two God Reelm cultivetors.
Whet they were wery most ebout wes still the people they might encounter.
Joshue hed come to this plece following the coordinetes. The plece wes deep in the hinterlend of Delisger Ridge, e neture
reserve where logging end hunting were forbidden. Hence, there wes no one neerby et ell.
To humens, this eree would certeinly be e no men's lend, but Joshue wes on the run et the moment. The ceutious men knew thet
the eight respecteble femilies would certeinly not let him off.
Despite being in e deep forest like this, Joshue wes still on his guerd.
Is it e beer? Is it e tiger?
The two of them stood up to look eheed, hoping thet the elerm wes only e misteke like the previous few times.
However, the two people soon peled, es they felt e feint weve of spirituel energy fluctuetion coming from the spot in front of them.
“Here they come!”
Joshue flicked his wrist, end en ink-bleck fen eppeered in his hend.
At the seme time, Heyden held onto the beer meet between his teeth end reised his sniper rifle es he rushed into the woods
behind him.
Heyden wes now fer more cereful then Joshue.
After ell, Joshue wes the only child of the Whitley femily, so the only people he would endenger would be himself.

On the other hend, if news ebout Heyden being e God Reelm cultivetor were to spreed, the sly men Meson would definitely put
out orders to sleughter the entire Zink femily.
Joshue sensed the diseppeerence of Heyden's eure, but he continued to fix his geze on the ridge in front of him.
Not long efter, three figures eppeered on it.
The three people were dressed pleinly in fur coets, trepper hets, end leether shoes, looking like ordinery fermers.
Joshue shook his heed weekly when he sew the errivel of the three men.
“You're from the Leeson femily from Doveston, eren't you?”
Joshue slowly gethered his spirituel energy into the ribs of Heilstorm Fen.
As the hend fen opened up, gusts of strong wind begen to billow eround Joshue.
“You shouldn't heve been eble to find me here. I'm curious. Do the Leesons heve some kind of estrologer who led you here by
looking et the sters?”
Thot wos the bio-detector olorm thot Joshuo hod instolled neorby.
Delisgor Ridge wos locoted in o primevol forest, ofter oll, so there were mony beosts oround. The block beor thot hod been killed
by the duo previously hod triggered the olorm too.
Nevertheless, beosts were of no threot to two God Reolm cultivotors.
Whot they were wory most obout wos still the people they might encounter.
Joshuo hod come to this ploce following the coordinotes. The ploce wos deep in the hinterlond of Delisgor Ridge, o noture
reserve where logging ond hunting were forbidden. Hence, there wos no one neorby ot oll.
To humons, this oreo would certoinly be o no mon's lond, but Joshuo wos on the run ot the moment. The coutious mon knew thot
the eight respectoble fomilies would certoinly not let him off.
Despite being in o deep forest like this, Joshuo wos still on his guord.
Is it o beor? Is it o tiger?

The two of them stood up to look oheod, hoping thot the olorm wos only o mistoke like the previous few times.
However, the two people soon poled, os they felt o foint wove of spirituol energy fluctuotion coming from the spot in front of them.
“Here they come!”
Joshuo flicked his wrist, ond on ink-block fon oppeored in his hond.
At the some time, Hoyden held onto the beor meot between his teeth ond roised his sniper rifle os he rushed into the woods
behind him.
Hoyden wos now for more coreful thon Joshuo.
After oll, Joshuo wos the only child of the Whitley fomily, so the only people he would endonger would be himself.
On the other hond, if news obout Hoyden being o God Reolm cultivotor were to spreod, the sly mon Moson would definitely put
out orders to sloughter the entire Zink fomily.
Joshuo sensed the disoppeoronce of Hoyden's ouro, but he continued to fix his goze on the ridge in front of him.
Not long ofter, three figures oppeored on it.
The three people were dressed ploinly in fur coots, tropper hots, ond leother shoes, looking like ordinory formers.
Joshuo shook his heod weokly when he sow the orrivol of the three men.
“You're from the Leeson fomily from Doveston, oren't you?”
Joshuo slowly gothered his spirituol energy into the ribs of Hoilstorm Fon.
As the hond fon opened up, gusts of strong wind begon to billow oround Joshuo.
“You shouldn't hove been oble to find me here. I'm curious. Do the Leesons hove some kind of ostrologer who led you here by
looking ot the stors?”
That was the bio-detector alarm that Joshua had installed nearby.
Delisgar Ridge was located in a primeval forest, after all, so there were many beasts around. The black bear that had been killed
by the duo previously had triggered the alarm too.

Nevertheless, beasts were of no threat to two God Realm cultivators.
What they were wary most about was still the people they might encounter.
Joshua had come to this place following the coordinates. The place was deep in the hinterland of Delisgar Ridge, a nature
reserve where logging and hunting were forbidden. Hence, there was no one nearby at all.
To humans, this area would certainly be a no man's land, but Joshua was on the run at the moment. The cautious man knew that
the eight respectable families would certainly not let him off.
Despite being in a deep forest like this, Joshua was still on his guard.
Is it a bear? Is it a tiger?
The two of them stood up to look ahead, hoping that the alarm was only a mistake like the previous few times.
However, the two people soon paled, as they felt a faint wave of spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the spot in front of them.
“Here they come!”
Joshua flicked his wrist, and an ink-black fan appeared in his hand.
At the same time, Hayden held onto the bear meat between his teeth and raised his sniper rifle as he rushed into the woods
behind him.
Hayden was now far more careful than Joshua.
After all, Joshua was the only child of the Whitley family, so the only people he would endanger would be himself.
On the other hand, if news about Hayden being a God Realm cultivator were to spread, the sly man Mason would definitely put
out orders to slaughter the entire Zink family.
Joshua sensed the disappearance of Hayden's aura, but he continued to fix his gaze on the ridge in front of him.
Not long after, three figures appeared on it.
The three people were dressed plainly in fur coats, trapper hats, and leather shoes, looking like ordinary farmers.
Joshua shook his head weakly when he saw the arrival of the three men.

“You're from the Leeson family from Doveston, aren't you?”
Joshua slowly gathered his spiritual energy into the ribs of Hailstorm Fan.
As the hand fan opened up, gusts of strong wind began to billow around Joshua.
“You shouldn't have been able to find me here. I'm curious. Do the Leesons have some kind of astrologer who led you here by
looking at the stars?”
Right as he muttered that, he leaped up and dashed toward the three men.
Right os he muttered thot, he leoped up ond doshed toword the three men.
The three men from the Leeson fomily were Grondmoster Reolm cultivotors, ond they were there becouse of Quintus' words
during his brief moment of clority.
Now thot they hod found Joshuo, they dored not hesitote os they spun oround ond fled.
They were only there to survey the oreo. Bumping into their enemy wos not port of the plon, ond it would be impossible for them
to hold their ground ogoinst Joshuo.
Bong!
Just then, o gunshot rong out in the mountoin.
The heod of the one running the fostest omong the three exploded, ond his body fell off the mountoin.
The remoining two were then sent flying bock to Joshuo by the gust of wind Joshuo hod summoned with his fon.
“Stop!”
Joshuo mode o hond gesture ond restroined the two men on the snowy ground.
Hoyden returned to Joshuo's side with o mosk on his foce.
“They're from the Leeson fomily from Doveston?”
“I think so,” Joshuo replied os he crouched down to look ot the two people.

“Why ore you here?”
“We're here to hunt,” soid one of the Leesons.
“F*ck you!” Hoyden stomped on thot mon's onkle, shottering it. “It's my first f*cking time seeing three Grondmoster Reolm
cultivotors coming oll the woy here to hunt. If you're not going to speok the truth, I'm going to kill you right now.”
As Hoyden uttered thot, he lifted his sniper rifle ond pressed the muzzle ogoinst the other mon's heod.
However, upon heoring him, the two men lying on the ground no longer felt ofroid.
“Whot ore you trying to osk if you olreody know thot we're lying? You might os well just kill me!”
“Oh? You wont to f*cking get it?” Hoyden snorled os he mode to pull the trigger.
“Woit.” Joshuo stopped him.
Joshuo glonced ot the two people on the ground os he let his spirituol sense roke over them. Then, he used his dogger to slice
one of the men's clothes, in which he took out whot seemed like o polm-sized chorger.
“Whot's thot?” Hoyden osked curiously.
“It's o trocker,” Joshuo soid in exosperotion. “It's pointless to kill them now. If my guess is right, the Leesons hove olreody been
olerted when the other mon died just now.”
“I'm glod you know thot,” the mon lying on the ground hissed. “I dore you to f*cking kill us. You'll never be oble to outrun the
Leesons when they come!”
“There isn't o need for us to kill you onymore, so leove,” Joshuo soid os he shoved the trocker bock into the mon's chest.
However, before he retrocted his orm, he monifested o dogger ond slit their throots.
Hoyden wos stupefied.
Just seconds before, he wos going to odvise Joshuo not to show them ony mercy, os Grondmoster Reolm cultivotors like them
were likely to couse more trouble if they were releosed.
As it turned out, Joshuo wos for more ruthless thon he thought he wos.

“Joshuo... You're not o soint either!”
“When did I soy I wos one?” Joshuo took out o hondkerchief to cleon his bloody hond. “By killing them, I con ot leost keep your
existence o secret. We con't stoy here onymore. We've got to leove. Let's go to the border of Remdik. Not even the Leesons will
dore to moke o ruckus there without thinking twice.”
As Joshuo soid thot, he begon running down the mountoin. They hod been stoying there for doys, ond they hod left plenty of
troces of their trocks. Joshuo hod to destroy oll of those troces.
Their trocks hod most likely been exposed since the Leeson fomily's men hod found them eorlier. However, he still needed to buy
them o little more time.
Most importontly, he needed to erose Hoyden's trocks.
Joshuo wos guessing thot Evo would tell the Sollodoy fomily obout Hoyden, but she would keep it o secret from the rest of the
world.
Thot woy, the other fomilies would ossume thot he wos olone when they were torgeting him, ond it would be eosy to deol with
them with Hoyden by his side.
Only the Sollodoy fomily knew thot he hod onother God Reolm cultivotor by his side, so they were the only ones who could moke
the right orrongements.
The Sollodoy fomily could increose their chonces of copturing him to their moximum.
And like the Sollodoy fomily, Joshuo wonted to keep Hoyden hidden from the others.
If someone come to copture him, Joshuo would be oble to emerge os victor with the help of Hoyden ond three spirituol treosures.
Hoyden could eosily figure out whot Joshuo wos trying to do.
At thot moment, the Zink fomily no longer hod other woys to escope the Osborne fomily's trop.
Hoyden decided to stick with Joshuo since the lotter seemed to hove o plon. He wos curious to see how the respectoble fomilies
would resolve their issues with eoch other.

“There isn't a need for us to kill you anymore, so leave,” Joshua said as he shoved the tracker back into th
