Jackie Chan: The Supreme Sorcerer, invited by his father to come out of seclusion

Chapter 178 Suppression and Tracking

The old man nodded, stretched out his finger, and touched the faint golden mark on Valon's forehead.

"Demons share the same origin, their auras are connected..." The old man closed his eyes and chanted an ancient tracking incantation.

He carefully guided a wisp of the Holy Lord's demonic flames, suppressed by the talisman, using it as a catalyst.

At the same time, Dad took out a small compass from his pocket. The compass needle did not point north or south, but was spinning aimlessly.

The old man channeled the Holy Lord's aura into the compass.

hum!
The compass vibrated slightly, and the wildly spinning needle suddenly stopped, then began to slowly and steadily point in one direction.

"Found it!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

He looked at the direction the compass needle was pointing.

"Bazaar's presence is faint, but it's definitely there! She's in that direction!"

Jackie Chan immediately came over: "Where is it?"

“According to the compass, she seems to have stopped there on the eastern edge of the city, near the sea,” the old man said.

"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately!" Jackie Chan made the decision without hesitation.

"Take him with us?" Tru pointed to Valon, who was still sitting on the ground.

The old man glanced at Valon, then at the compass: "Take it with you. The aura of the Holy Lord can continuously guide the compass and prevent Basha from moving again."

Valon immediately stood up: "I'll go with you! I want to help catch Basha too!"

Although he has the Holy Lord within him, he himself has no affection for these demons.

"Okay, let's go!"

The group immediately set to work, leaving the antique shop and heading in the direction indicated by the compass.

……

Meanwhile, on the eastern edge of the city, near an abandoned coastal factory.

A stream of water silently seeped out from the underground pipe, converging to form the image of Basha.

She cautiously observed her surroundings, and only relaxed slightly after confirming that there was no one around.

This place is far from the city center, sparsely populated, and close to the sea, making it convenient for her to hide and draw strength.

Basha looked around at the desolate scene, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

The world is becoming more and more dilapidated.

Although the fear of Lin Tian and the Sword of Time still lingered in her heart, hiding indefinitely was not a solution.

She needed a temporary foothold, a base where she could slowly recover her strength and observe the movements of the human world.

Bazaar surveyed the abandoned factory area.

Although rudimentary, it's usable, albeit barely.

She plans to set up a small, secluded place to live here first.

It doesn't need to be as grand as the underwater kingdoms of the past; just enough to shelter oneself and protect one from prying eyes is sufficient.

Once we've regained some strength, we can slowly expand outwards or find a more suitable place.

She wanted to choose a place as far away as possible from those righteous sorcerers, especially that old man and Jackie Chan.

Avoid their sharp edge, accumulate strength, and wait for the right opportunity.

Basha took a deep breath, feeling the dampness in the air and the surging power of the distant sea.

She raised her hand, preparing to mobilize the water element and begin transforming the environment.

She started by clearing out a clean space. She wanted to create her own little "kingdom," even if it was only temporary.

As soon as Basha raised her hand, the moisture in the air began to gather towards her palm.

Suddenly, she stopped moving, and her cold gaze abruptly turned in one direction.

She felt it!
Several familiar streams of positive energy are rapidly approaching!
And... the aura of the Holy Lord, which was suppressed but could still be sensed by those of the same origin!
"They found us so quickly?!" A hint of surprise and anger flashed in Basha's eyes.

She hadn't expected the other party's tracking magic to be so powerful, managing to pinpoint her location in such a short time.

We must not let them get close!
Basha made a quick decision and abandoned the plan to build a temporary base.

She suddenly raised both hands to the sky, letting out a roar like a tsunami!

"Crash-!"

The moisture in the surrounding air was instantly stirred up, and it converged wildly like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
Further away, towards the sea, a massive force of water elemental power was forcibly drawn in!

The sky darkened visibly, and thick clouds gathered!
This is not an ordinary dark cloud, but a water cloud formed by the condensation of a huge amount of water vapor!
"Water-drawing spell!"

Basha shouted sharply and pressed her arms down!
Rumble——!
The water and clouds in the sky poured down like a breached dam!

A torrential downpour instantly enveloped the area, and the affected area continued to expand!

But this is just the beginning!
The water level rose at an alarming rate, quickly reaching above ankle height, and continues to rise!
The low-lying areas among the factory ruins quickly formed turbid streams!
Basha's goal was clear: she wanted to use a flood!

Use a flood that covers the entire city to stop Jackie Chan and his crew!
If the flood is large enough, it can create chaos, cut off tracking, and give her enough time to escape!

"Oh no! She's going to flood!"

In the distance, Jackie Chan and his entourage, who were rushing towards the factory, also saw the drastic change in weather and the rapidly rising floodwaters, and immediately understood Bazaar's intentions.

"Stop her!" Jackie Chan shouted, quickening his pace.

The muddy floodwaters had begun to spread through the streets, the current swift and violent, crashing against the debris along the roadside.

Valon followed behind, running somewhat unsteadily.

The icy floodwaters washed over his body.

Suddenly, Valon stumbled and almost fell.

He subconsciously wiped the rain off his face.

Just then, a stream of cold rain washed over his forehead.

The golden talisman mark drawn by the old man to suppress the Holy Lord dimmed at a visible speed under the continuous erosion of the flood, especially the flood containing Basha's magic!

Click!

A sound like something breaking echoed in Valon's mind.

The shackles that bound the Holy Lord were eroded and destroyed by the power of the flood!

Valon's body stiffened abruptly.

The next second, he raised his head, and his eyes instantly turned cold and violent!
A cruel yet confident smile, belonging to the Holy Lord, curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, thanks, Basha." Shendu's deep voice came from Valon's mouth, "Although he's a useless ally, this flood has done me a great favor."

He felt the fiery magic surging within him again. Although he couldn't fully control the body yet, the control of his consciousness had returned to his hands!
The Holy Lord looked up and saw Basha casting a spell with all her might in front of him.

And further away, Jackie Chan and others were struggling to move forward against the floodwaters.

"Now that I'm out, I'll play with you guys for a while!"

A fierce glint flashed in the Holy Lord's eyes, and he suddenly raised both hands!
