While constricted, Pearl could still see and hear everything that happened before him.
"This is him, leader. I guarantee it. I don't know why he is weaker, but this is the bastard. I remember his aura very clearly," the voice next to the man said again.
'A soul?' Pearl thought. It was a soul that was talking to the man. He couldn't see the soul, but it had to be hidden around the man.
He wondered if it was someone he killed, or someone who was killed by the man for not completing their commands.
The Divine Realm cultivator turned to Pearl. "If this is him, then that is all that matters," he said and strode forward.
Pearl remained where he was, his eyes staring at the man with great defiance.
The man stared back, not a hint of emotion on his face.
"I wish I could make you feel the pain I have dreamt you to feel all these days, but due to the urgency of my situation, I shall deliver unto you the same mercy you did my son."
