By the Flowing Gold River, Qin Feng searched for a long time along the riverbanks that the Nine-Headed Snake had once ravaged. He sent his Divine Sense into the depths of the river, searching back and forth for hundreds of miles but found no trace of the Nine-Headed Snake.
He still wasn't ready to give up and then cast the Beast Taming Sect's inherited spell to seek out Spiritual Beasts, trying to locate the formidable Demon Beast by tracking the remnants of its aura.
However, nearly a month had passed, and since the Nine-Headed Snake had never come ashore, even if some faint aura remained on the riverbed, it was mostly washed away by the swift currents. Consequently, he couldn't find any trail of the Nine-Headed Snake and didn't know whether the beast had gone upstream or had followed the river out to sea.
Qin Feng wasn't discouraged by his failure to find the Nine-Headed Snake.
