Chapter 295: Chapter 30: Hooked a Big Fish! (Part 2)

The cultivator who was using the eye technique turned his head and looked at the other three.

“There’s no choice! Now we can only rely on ourselves to delay… wait for the patriarch to come, or we won’t even get a single Spirit Stone!”

Upon hearing this, the other three showed some hesitation.

But that’s Xu Shi!

The Xu Shi who killed Ghost-Eyed Old Monster!

Just with the four of them as Core Formation cultivators, can they stand a chance?

“Let’s give it a try, just delay for half an hour… If we truly can’t handle it, then just run!”

Finally, it was the demon cultivator who gritted his teeth and said.

So, the four cultivators who had been following for thousands of miles finally couldn’t hold back, they charged towards the riverbank.

…

Meanwhile, directly below “Xu Shi” and a few others.

Deep underground a thousand miles, Lin Chen was sipping tea, leisurely watching the play.

“Why hasn’t this group come yet… If they don’t show up soon, I might be overacting…”

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

In usual transactions like this, they wouldn’t linger for long.

Lin Chen was deliberately slow to bait the prey… but the group of cultivators behind still dared not approach.

“Master, detected life forms rapidly approaching… should I eliminate them?”

At this time, Long Ba suddenly spoke.

And as his voice fell, the shadows in the distance quickly sprang to the riverbank.

In the blink of an eye, many magical treasures and techniques were thrown towards Long Ba and the others.

All four Core Formation cultivators made their move.

Lin Chen, through the perspective of a few martial arts puppets, clearly saw the appearance of those people.

Among them, three were unfamiliar to Lin Chen, likely loose cultivators.

Only among the four, the sole female cultivator made Lin Chen raise an eyebrow.

“Yang Rong, it’s actually her…”

Lin Chen sipped his tea, calculating in his heart.

This time, letting Long Ba and several other martial arts puppets put on this play was naturally to bait the prey.

Bait the traitors lurking within the Righteous Alliance!

Or rather, weed out the hidden dangers lying within the Guangyuan Auction.

But Lin Chen never imagined to have hooked a big fish.

Who is Yang Rong?

Back then, when Lin Chen first took out the Golden Yuan Pill, Chairman Liu drew over two Golden Core cultivators from headquarters.

One was the appraisal master, Master Tan.

The other female cultivator was this Yang Rong.

Mid Core Formation cultivation, originated from Qing State, she is a steward of Guangyuan Auction.

“Tsk tsk, money really does make people’s hearts move! Didn’t expect even the steward of Guangyuan Auction would make a move…”

Lin Chen slowly got up, preparing to head to the surface.

With just a few martial arts puppets, it’s somewhat difficult to kill these Core Formation cultivators.

Yet just as Lin Chen was about to head to the surface, Long Ba spoke again:

“Master, detected life forms rapidly approaching, flying speed exceeding four Mach…”

“Currently just less than a hundred miles away from us… estimated to arrive within a minute…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen paused.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen saw through Long Ba’s sight, a mass of red mist quickly approaching from the horizon.

Soon, it would reach the surroundings of a few martial arts puppets.

Seeing this red mist, Lin Chen instinctively wanted to flee.

“Blood Pupil Old Demon… How dare he appear here?”

But Lin Chen quickly calmed down.

“I am currently a thousand miles deep underground, relax… this old demon cannot possibly discover me!”

Lin Chen took a few sips of tea, gradually relaxing.

Previously, he had escaped this old demon through a safe house underground.

A thousand miles deep underground, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator is unlikely to find you, let alone a mere Nascent Soul true man.

“This old demon… running all the way from Spirit Beast Sect to the borders of Yanlai Country… for the purpose of catching me?”

Lin Chen frowned, somewhat confused.

A bounty of four million Spirit Stones, Lin Chen could still understand.

After all, the one who died was the sect leader of Ghost-Exorcising Sect, direct blood of this Blood Pupil Old Demon.

But a dignified Nascent Soul true man, going deep into enemy territory, even risking his life… just for revenge?

Lin Chen was somewhat skeptical.

If this happened with Righteous Sects, it might make sense.

But happening in the Demon Sect, Lin Chen could hardly believe it.

“So, there must be something… that I overlooked!”

“This old demon coming here couldn’t be that simple.”

Lin Chen’s mind rapidly turned.

Simultaneously, inside the safe house, observing the images transmitted from the ground.

Since something unusual has been discovered, it naturally needs to be further explored.

…

Lin Chen clearly sees and hears everything happening on the ground through the nanometer camera.

When that red mist landed by the great river, all four trailing cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

“Patriarch, you finally came!”

“Xu Shi… and those rats from Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, they’re all here!”

The demon cultivator ran to the side of Blood Demon Old Monster to claim credit.

He seemed already to imagine, standing meritorious this time would lead to promotion and pay raise, ascending to the pinnacle of demon cultivation…

This was also Lin Chen’s first sight of Blood Pupil Old Demon’s appearance.

A scrawny, elderly figure aged to the brink of death, seeming like a gust of wind could blow him away…

But Lin Chen dared not underestimate him for a second.

Blood Pupil Old Demon surveyed the distant groups, ultimately placing his gaze on Xu Shi.

“You boy, you let me look for you!”

Blood Pupil Old Demon swiftly appeared next to Xu Shi.

And Long Ba and Feng Jiu instinctively unleashed full firepower.

High-explosive bullets poured like heavy rain, shooting at Blood Pupil Old Demon.

But they all landed on Blood Pupil Old Demon’s Protective True Essence, without stirring a single ripple.

Blood Pupil Old Demon reached out, catching several high-explosive bullets, examining them closely.

“Interesting… they seem like some kind of Magical Treasure, finely crafted… even that brat from Puppet Hall couldn’t make this.”

“No wonder, Ghost Eye was apprehensive of your Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect…”

Blood Pupil Old Demon scanned around, eyes landing on Long Ba and Feng Jiu, the two martial arts puppets.

“However, I’ve roamed Qing State for thousands of years, even ventured to Outer State… seems like, I haven’t heard of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect…”

…

Deep a thousand miles underground, Lin Chen was cheerful, praised:

“Xiao Yan! Your technique is truly marvelous! A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator… actually couldn’t perceive those martial arts puppets weren’t humans…”

Celestial Derivation Pearl’s Artifact Spirit responded proudly:

“Master, my Celestial Derivation Spiritual Light can block all Spiritual Perception… well, not absolutely, at least nothing below Divinity Transformation can spot it!”

Lin Chen, still smiling, intended to praise further.

However, upon hearing “From where exactly did you spring?” Lin Chen’s expression suddenly changed.

“Damn, won’t that old demon discover us now?”

“This old demon has lived long enough…”

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, the biggest lie of Qing State, constructed by Lin Chen’s own hands.

Not only deceiving all the cultivators of Righteous Alliance.

Even the grand powers of Qing State, such as Demon-Suppressing Temple, Guangyuan Commerce Association, all Nascent Soul powers, were fooled by Lin Chen.

But this Blood Pupil Old Demon is different!

He is a Nascent Soul cultivator… lived for thousands of years like a Nascent Soul cultivator! If he truly sees something, Lin Chen can only admit defeat.

But fortunately…

Blood Pupil Old Demon didn’t dwell too long, he slowly said:

“Heh, although the grand land of Xuanhuang, I have not explored one-thousandth in a lifetime…”

“Your Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, regardless of origins, seems like you’re overextending?”

“Qing State isn’t your territory…”

Blood Pupil Old Demon turned to Xu Shi, Five Thunders and others.

But Long Ba and Feng Jiu showed no pause, mercilessly bombarding.

Even fired dozens of nanomissiles, bombing Blood Pupil Old Demon.

These missiles, capable of easily destroying a mountain peak, hit Blood Pupil Old Demon’s Protective True Essence with little impact.

Only slightly trembled Blood Pupil Old Demon’s Protective True Essence.

Instead, piqued his interest.

Blood Pupil Old Demon extended his left hand, Protective True Essence enveloped, caught a thumb-sized nanomissile.

Watching this missile explode in his hand, Blood Pupil Old Demon showed surprise.

“This thing has quite the power!”

“Much higher than ordinary Five Thunders… seems to be a replica of Celestial Thunder Master…”

“Yet from it, I feel no Spiritual Energy fluctuation whatsoever… how exactly was it made?”
