The pitch-black sky dome was dotted with countless blood-red stars.
Xu Yuan noticed that ever since earlier, these insect beasts had been fixated on him, their blood-red compound eyes in the sky full of maddened greed.
Even though his energy mechanism was concealed by the Soul Intent Black Mist and the Soul-avoiding Clothes, the gaze of these insects remained inescapable, like a shadow.

Stopping in a quiet and narrow alley, Xu Yuan raised his gaze to the swarming insect tide in the sky.
It appeared that the little ghost who had devoured the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow could also sense his position, and far more acutely than he could theirs.
