"Damn it! Damn it!" Da Yi vented the power of the Dark Sun in frustration, burning everything around him to ashes.

He looked up towards the distant eastern horizon, where a glimmer of light flickered. Clenching his fist, he muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be like this... Where the hell did that guy go? If I don't catch him soon, Yue Du and Poseidon might not hold out much longer!"

Wu Liang didn't know about the scene where four Great Venerables initially clashed.

He never thought that the First Emperor could suppress three Great Venerables at once from the very beginning.

Naturally, he didn't realize that he wasn't the only one feeling anxious now.

Da Yi was even more anxious than Wu Liang!

Judging by the power displayed by the First Emperor, perhaps the three Great Venerables together could only fight to a draw.

Now, with only Yue Du and Poseidon facing the First Emperor, at most they could just hold him off.

If the battle drags on, there might even be a chance of being counter-killed.

At that point, it wouldn't just be the First Emperor freeing himself to help Wu Liang deal with Da Yi.

But in the entire Fierce Ghost World, there would be no other three Great Venerables to restrain the First Emperor, and he would become the true overlord of the world!

If things developed to this stage, Da Yi wouldn't have to worry about finding Wu Liang anymore; he might as well dig a hole to bury himself.

So compared to Wu Liang's urgency to find the First Emperor, Da Yi was even more anxious to find him before Yue Du and Poseidon couldn't hold on anymore and uncover the source of the First Emperor's mysterious power!

"The First Emperor... that guy knows only the First Emperor can shelter him! He will definitely head towards the battlefield!" After pondering for a moment, Da Yi decided to search in the direction of the battlefield.

If he really couldn't find any trace of Wu Liang, at least he could detect the situation on the battlefield.

At critical moments, he could also disregard Wu Liang's whereabouts and first help Yue Du and Poseidon out of their predicament.

If all else fails, they could only plan for the three Great Venerables to retreat together.

Absolutely cannot allow any Great Venerable to be lost within the territory of Great Qin!

"Red Robe... Red Robe... Lord... Venerable! Oh, what a pity, so it was this Venerable..."

Da Yi began a massive illumination with the light of the Dark Sun, conducting a blanket, indiscriminate search from his own position.

Under his perception, no trace of any Fierce Ghost could escape.

Occasionally, when he discovered Venerable-level power, Da Yi would be more meticulous in distinguishing its aura.

But inevitably, every Venerable sensed by Da Yi was a long-renowned Venerable within the territory of Great Qin.

The majority had even encountered Da Yi before, as before today, the Fierce Ghost World was a relatively harmonious place composed of a five-ghost balance of power.

Every time during the "War of Chaos" when Da Yi came to Apang Palace to chat, play chess, or drink tea with the First Emperor, he naturally became familiar with the Venerables within Great Qin.

He could absolutely guarantee not to mistake the aura of these Venerables.

"Damn it! Could that guy have descended to the Lord level?" Da Yi searched with growing impatience.

He began considering another possibility—Wu Liang, to mislead his perception, or perhaps due to severe injuries sustained at Taishan Peak, might not have Venerable-level power anymore!

After all, at Taishan Peak, though that guy was slippery like an eel, Da Yi still managed to inflict serious wounds on him.

So it made sense that Wu Liang would be very weak now.

Just as Wu Liang didn't know the situation on the battlefield with the First Emperor and Yue Du and Poseidon, Da Yi naturally didn't realize that it was actually just the Puppet Ghost he had severely injured.

Hence, he detailed his search down to the Lord level, then to Red Robe, and finally conducted meticulous exploration, sparing no ordinary Fierce Ghost aura.

In doing so, he indeed discovered quite a few strange Fierce Ghost auras.

Most of them reached the level of Lord, and he felt particularly unfamiliar with them.

It seemed like he had never sensed these Lords during prior visits to Great Qin.

"Has Great Qin promoted so many Lords this year?"

Logically, in a territory like Great Qin, with the First Emperor's protection, the possibility of birthing Lords would indeed be easier than outside, and there wouldn't be such significant disputes during the War of Chaos. Within Great Qin, there is a set of rules laid out by the First Emperor for acquiring territory, not like the external month-long unrestricted contest.

So every time during the War of Chaos when Da Yi came to find the First Emperor, he could also spot many Lords he'd never seen before.

But the Lords he sensed just now seemed somewhat off.

They seemed... too strong?

At least from his perception, they didn't seem at all like the powerful aura new Lords should possess.

More like they had been Lords for a long time, almost reaching peak Lord, about to ascend to Venerable status.

Such Lords should logically have been within Great Qin for a long time, not recently ascended!

Yet he'd never seen or sensed their existence before.

"Quite peculiar! Kill one to examine!" Da Yi furrowed his brows, deciding not to overlook such an anomalous feeling.

Though he knew he usually paid little attention to Lord-level Fierce Ghosts, perhaps they were indeed minions of the First Emperor he never glanced at before. Still, overlooking one or two was understandable; having seven or eight appear simultaneously was a little suspicious.

Thinking this, Da Yi's figure instantly appeared before one of the swiftly darting Fierce Ghosts in the forest.
