Chapter 2598: Pursuit
"How are you sure?"Julius Reed held Jessica close, asking affectionately.
He didn’t care about the Blood Soul Emperor’s fate; rather, if given the chance to take down the Blood Soul Emperor himself, Julius Reed would do it without hesitation.
But the situation is different now.
For Jessica, he made a small compromise.
Additionally, Julius Reed received instructions to find out what exactly Marcellus Lopez wanted.
Whether it was to give Jessica or Julius Reed an explanation, Julius Reed had to follow Jessica’s lead to find the Blood Soul Emperor.
Previously, Jessica and the Blood Soul Emperor had spiritual sensing.
Knowing he was taken by Marcellus Lopez, it was through this sensing that Jessica saw the last image the Blood Soul Emperor left her.
But this sensing grew weaker and eventually disappeared.
Finally, Jessica and Julius Reed could only rely on the last known position to start tracking.
When they tracked to this location, there was nothing left.
No aura, no people seen.
Not even dust could be seen.
Jessica sat cross-legged on the ground for a full twelve hours before she sensed the presence of the Blood Soul Emperor.
Originally, Julius Reed had given up hope. He didn’t believe such a vast world could allow two people to find the Blood Soul Emperor hidden by Marcellus Lopez.
But now, Jessica acted in an unusual way, surprising him greatly.
"I have lived with the Blood Soul for many years. Between us, there are no secrets." Jessica cuddled in Julius Reed’s embrace, "We had agreed long ago that if either of us ever encountered danger, we could reveal our location through this magic technique."
"So far away? Hundreds of miles, and I couldn’t sense a thing, yet you’re able to clearly distinguish the direction?" Julius Reed was amazed.
He definitely had a gap with the Blood Soul Emperor, after all, one was one of the ancient Three Emperors, even River Azure was a derivative of the Blood Soul Emperor.
And he, Julius Reed, was simply a True Lord, although in that era he was still a renowned figure, the gap with the Blood Soul Emperor was nonetheless substantial.
However, Julius Reed didn’t believe they held a qualitative gap.
In his mind, it was just that the Blood Soul was born thousands of years earlier.
This accumulation of quantity could be surpassed.
But now Jessica’s words threw him into confusion once again.
"The Blood Soul is extremely weak, he can’t emit such a powerful fluctuation on his own. I estimate he’s definitely deceiving Marcellus Lopez, using his hand to activate this ability."
Jessica patiently explained, "Once Spiritual Power explodes, it causes fluctuations in the high air, and this fluctuation acts like a signal frequency, only I know the Blood Soul’s methods, common people can’t feel it at all."
"Alright, once we find him, I’ll break up with him and be with you." Jessica laughed mischievously, "Ultimately, I have to give him an explanation; he took care of me for thousands of years."
"As you wish." Julius Reed nodded, pondering quietly, realizing these two shared such secrets.
He’d have to be cautious in the future; if the Blood Soul deceived him again, it would be catastrophic.
The two boarded a car, hurrying toward the location Jessica locked onto earlier.
Sitting in the car, the Blood Soul Emperor single-handedly held the steering wheel, calling Julius Reed, "I’ve already locked onto the Blood Soul Emperor and Marcellus Lopez’s positions, how’s your side? Are you sure Nelson doesn’t need protection?"
Upon arrival, he had discussed with Julius Reed.
Originally, Julius Reed’s task was to protect Nelson, but suddenly Julius Reed changed his mind, asking him to partner with Jessica to locate Marcellus Lopez, preventing him from using the Blood Soul Emperor to cause problems.
As for Nelson, there weren’t any of their own people there, only some restless experts.
"Nelson is all clear, hurry to find Marcellus Lopez and see what he’s up to. I’ve encountered a situation here, might have to go back to Demarco Mount."
Julius Reed’s tone carried urgency but still instructed, "Safety first. Marcellus Lopez is now very agitated; he only harbors hatred and desire. Especially since the Blood Soul is in his hands, if you sense something’s off, leave immediately."
"No problem, I’ve got Judas’ body; it’s quite strong." Julius Reed hung up, quite content with his new body.
Looks robust.
Judas’ hatred, he inherited.
Once he’s free, he’ll certainly deal with those church guys.
The car sped along.
In no time, they could see the sand swirling in the distance.
The sandstorm served as Marcellus Lopez’s cover.
Located within the Taklamakan Desert, this place occasionally experienced sandstorms.
The sand around Marcellus Lopez perfectly served as a cover.
"Shh."
Upon entering the desert, Julius Reed grabbed Jessica, cautiously lying low.
"This guy is still very alert, we need to be careful. If he escapes, catching him again would be difficult." Julius Reed whispered.
This is the desert, the place where Marcellus Lopez would meet his end.
Here, he seemed to return to his original home.
The sand fused with the desert, making escape quite easy.
This time, Julius Reed’s goal was to capture Marcellus Lopez and bring back the Blood Soul.
How to handle that would be Julius Reed’s responsibility.
Jessica could not decide.
Between a woman and a brother, Julius Reed would choose his brother.
"How do we get over there?" Jessica whispered, now completely relying on Julius Reed; she listened to everything he said.
"I’ll drive over, and when he notices and battles with me, you sense the Blood Soul Emperor’s location; once we take the Blood Soul away, everything becomes easier." Julius Reed patted Jessica, got up, and got in the car.
He pretended to be someone adventuring in the desert, concealing his aura.
The off-road vehicle roared onto the desert.
Marcellus Lopez, pondering his mystical techniques, turned to see a car.
Such an undisguised vehicle surely belonged to an off-road enthusiast.
Mere mortal.
Ignorant of power.
Interrupting his meditation, he decided they would die in the desert.
Marcellus Lopez smiled faintly, waved his hand.
A sandstorm arose.
Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.
The sandstorm hadn’t killed that person.
"Who!"
Marcellus Lopez strode towards the car.
Bang!
An off-road vehicle burst through the sandstorm, crashing straight into his chest!
If not for Marcellus Lopez’s immense power, he would have been smashed to pieces.
He pushed aside the twisted car, stepping forward step by step.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Julius Reed, Marcellus Lopez’s tone was very unkind.
He didn’t know how this guy found him.
"We’ve met, you may not know me, but you should know where the Blood Soul Emperor is! Hand him over, I won’t kill you!" Julius Reed spoke with weight, speculating that the Blood Soul Emperor might hear.
Sure enough.
Marcellus Lopez’s right hand suddenly glowed red.
