The Heir of the Celestial Diagram

Chapter 24: Tracking the Predator

After escaping from the spy, Han Feng decided that he could not simply ignore this threat. If someone was watching him, it meant his hideout was compromised and that others could be lurking.

He used his art of concealment to follow a winding path, ensuring that he would leave no noticeable traces. After a while, he found a strategic point in the mountains where he could observe without being seen.

With keen eyes, he saw the hooded figure moving slowly through the forest. The spy appeared confused, clearly not expecting Han Feng to disappear so easily.

"Now that I know I'm being hunted, it's time to become the hunter."

Han Feng picked up a small tracking Gu that he had obtained earlier. This discreet creature could latch onto a target and follow it without being noticed. He activated the Gu and launched it towards the spy, who didn't notice when the creature discreetly landed on his tunic.

Now, Han Feng could track their movements and discover their true identity.

Night fell, and the spy began to withdraw. Han Feng followed him from a distance, ensuring he remained out of sight. After a few hours, the figure entered a hidden cave on the mountainside.

Han Feng waited patiently, observing every movement. He couldn't risk entering without more information.

"If he is part of a larger organization, I can't act impulsively."

Deciding to wait until dawn, Han Feng prepared to discover exactly who was behind this pursuit. If it were someone from the sect, it could mean they were closer than he had imagined. If it were an external enemy, then he would need to reconsider his next steps with even more caution.
