Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1085: Tracker

Sam and the team went into hiding after they are done with the a.s.sa.s.sins and the manager.

He held a meeting with the team to decide on their next step. The team is divided into two opinions. One of that since they knew the location of one of the pieces of the heirloom. The father of the current manager has one so they wanted to take advantage of the incident and directly attack them by surprise.

As for the second opinion, they wanted to wait here. Since there is a possibility that another party might know that his son died, he will definitely take some action and send some people here, in fact, he might even come here directly, so they wanted to lure him out and deal with him slowly.

Both of them have their own advantages, but Sam leaned mostly towards the second plan, but since he let his team members decide what to do he didn't interfere and just went to take the rest.

The next morning, the teammates are all looking tired and the surrounding forest area is completely damaged.

The final decision was made after a duel and it seems like the second plan was finally chosen.

Sam immediately sent out bird and insect puppets for surveillance over the city along with the shadow mice.

He wanted to see how fast the black curtain will react.

He deliberately left the corpses of the manager and the rest out in the open without care. He wanted to make the other party come out in the open. No matter how sneaky they want to be, there is no way they could simply hide away from the surveillance Sam set up.

The city guards already took over the area of the inn and started an investigation, even though they said they are investigating, it could be said that they are merely guarding the place so that any possible evidence wouldn't be missed from that spot.

By afternoon, some people came to the original black curtain inn. Since Sam and others didn't destroy it, they took the residence there.

After they arrived, the city lord sent his son to talk to them.

An hour or so later, they immediately made their move and went to the collapsed inn. The group consisted of ten people and six of them are middle-stage transcendent cultivators with the remaining four being late-stage transcendent cultivators.

They started investigating immediately and Sam looked at the whole operation through the surveillance he left.

Even though he couldn't hear the audio all the time, sometimes he managed to guess what they are doing.

But one thing surprised him a lot.

One late-stage cultivator among them is laying down a formation around the collapsed inn and used some kind of hand signs which Sam had never seen. After he was done with that, there is a faint glow that lasted just for a few seconds.

After that, there is no change at all.

Sam frowned when he saw this.

The group of people then went back to the inn and then that person made the same formation there in every room. The whole process wasted the rest of the day, but he still did it, Sam didn't know what he saw, because he couldn't see anything through surveillance. Maybe some energy bats would have had better success here, but there is no way he could use them. He could only wait and see what these people planned.

That night there is not much movement from the group, they just rested as if nothing happened.

But through a window, Sam managed to see that the person who made the formations around the inn and the collapsed inn is actually doing something.

There are a bunch of glowing orbs around him and it seemed like he is watching something inside of them.

After three hours or so, that guy stopped and started resting.

Sam then went to meet the Night ghost.

"I want to take a look at the cursed ghost you have."

Night ghost was curious why asked that, but he didn't think too much and showed the cursed ghost. It looked like a normal ghost, but it has a dark grey shade and the cursed ghost had that eerie energy.

"Now can it use the dark vine curse you absorbed in the hall?"

"Yes."

The dark gray vines popped out of the ghost. They could entangle anything.

"How did you get it? I never even read of a ghost-like that."

"It is actually a long story.

There used to be two brothers who turned into archenemies. One of them is an expert in curses and the other guy doesn't have any talent in curses so he trained a different way to get rid of these curses and even use them for his advantage.

He somehow managed to find a forbidden technique of a demonic clan and that helps him absorb the curses or to be precise devour them, and utilize them against the enemies until the energy from that curse lasted.

He managed to best his brother and kill him, but that guy didn't die in vain, he left something for his brother and that is one of the most vicious curses ever. He use his own soul as a cursing medium and left a large curse on his own soul as long as he was killed, the killer would be affected by both the curses, the one that he placed on the soul and the one he used the soul as the medium.

One curse is forceful soul merger and the other one is the soul attachment curse. The first curse merges the two souls directly and both of them wouldn't find peace, they will roam around the stray soul domain as for the second one, it will make it impossible for the soul to leave this world and will be attached to this world and stays here with all those haunting memories for eternity.

It is practically eternal suffering for him with the memories and the torture from his brother's soul.

So, I took pity on him and made him into my ghost in which way he would at least lose his memories. I never really tried to use him to improve my skills, as finding curses is really rare and difficult. I only used them when I occasionally came across curse users and I could get some immunity."

Sam nodded.

"It seems like this will be useful for you now. I will try to find a way to get you more curses to absorb, after all, you will have to constantly clash with a bunch of people of higher cultivation than yours, something this cursed ghost will be useful. For now, try to absorb this."

Sam said as he took out some scrolls and placed them in front of him. These are some basic curses, he practiced with them when he was trying to understand his dark elemental energy better, he didn't explore curses that much after that.

Even though these curses are for low-level cultivation, they are profound and are from the books in the divine dimension library, most of them are completely new to Night Ghost.

When he absorbed each one of them he demonstrated his abilities, Sam is really impressed and said.

"This might even become your best weapon against the enemies of higher cultivation than you."

With that, Sam thought of how to improve the curses the whole night. He needs to find a way to get his hands on some advanced curse techniques.

The next morning, Sam once again focused on the surveillance.

He noticed that the man who placed those weird formations all over is taking the lead as the rest of the group followed him from afar.

The man in the lead just walked around the road while the rest of them are moving while hiding.

They went to the collapsed inn first. Sam thought they would be investigating once again, but that didn't happen. The man walked around the collapsed inn for a few rounds before walking out of it and climbed to the nearest roof as he started jumping off from one roof to another, he moved towards the slums.

At this Sam couldn't help but frown, he felt that this moving pattern is extremely weird. He was confused and felt that there is something wrong with what the other party is doing but he couldn't put a finger on it.

All of a sudden, he saw that the other party jumped towards a broken roof in the slums and kicked a beam before landing on the street next to the house.

Sam suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief as he yelled.

"Everyone gets into the ice divine dimension, we are changing the hiding spot. Now."

With that, Sam stored the surveillance equipment away and only held the small crystal tablet in his hands.

The rest of the team are shocked when they saw Sam's behavior he is moving in a hurry.

But they all entered into the divine dimension and Sam took it before taking off on the harbinger and moving away.
