Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Coming Slaughter, Demon God’s Obstruction

As long as Lin Ye wasn’t mistaken, then Yuan Danqing in this life probably wouldn’t be able to obtain the Shadow Treasure Pearl.

Relying on the ability of True Sight, unless Lin Ye was unbelievably unlucky, he wouldn’t know how Yuan Danqing could intercept him, preventing him from getting the Shadow Treasure Pearl.

If that happened, Lin Ye could only accept his misfortune.

After all, in the world, treasures belong to the capable.

He did not believe in destiny, but he wouldn’t kill a professional with the potential to become the strongest just for a treasure.

If it were someone like Su Yaoyao who would degenerate for a mere treasure and become a Demon God’s minion, then killing her wouldn’t matter.

But Yuan Danqing was different; she wasn’t someone who would fall into the abyss for profit.

In the previous life, she was known as ’Demon Slaughter’ because she was ruthless in dealing with the abyssal demons, making them fear her wherever she went.

Lin Ye’s desire to become stronger was simply to drive out demons and have a stable living environment…

And with professionals like Yuan Danqing who are passionate about slaughtering demons, Lin Ye wouldn’t harm them unless there was an unresolvable conflict.

If she had the skill to take the treasure, then she would take it.

However, before that, if Lin Ye found the Shadow Treasure Pearl first, he wouldn’t hold back.

“Better hurry up!”

Lin Ye immediately sprang into action.

Compared to Yuan Danqing, he had speed and vision—if she still managed to find the Shadow Treasure Pearl first, he’d have no excuses.

Still, Lin Ye remained vigilant, instructing the crow to specially monitor all movements regarding Yuan Danqing.

…

“Indeed, the minions of the Shadow Demon God have infiltrated…”

Yuan Danqing traversed the forest; as a Shadowless Man, she had an absolute acuity for shadow power!

This acute perception could even overlook the disadvantage caused by level suppression.

After the Holy Day, all shadow demons in the forest had been purified.

Currently, Shadowless Forest was at its most vulnerable defense-wise since its inception…

Despite the curse of the Demon God still existing, it couldn’t prevent fearless professionals from coming to seek treasure.

The Shadow Demon God obviously didn’t want his Supreme Treasure to fall into human hands.

So naturally, he would immediately dispatch his minions to guard the treasure.

Yuan Danqing was anxiously concerned…

She didn’t care whose hands the treasure landed in because, in her view, making this forest disappear was the most crucial task!

She just arrived a step late; the Shadow Demon God’s minions had already arrived.

Facing the enormous level gap, she was utterly helpless!

“Unfortunately, the Alliance just couldn’t spare anyone to come here…” Yuan Danqing regretted.

No choice.

The current Alliance, Church Court, and all major and minor forces that are known were busy occupying territory.

There was no time, whatsoever, to deal with something as troublesome as Shadowless Forest, situated in a remote area not on any major traffic path.

Chen Daosheng and Huang Li were willing to escort her here out of kindness, concerned for her encountering danger.

Just too many regrettable things persisted.

Yuan Danqing gritted her teeth, deciding to continue searching within the forest.

After all, she could sense that those minions of the Demon God had only just entered the forest.

She still had time!

As long as she found the Shadow Treasure Pearl and immediately activated the emergency transmission device to leave, she still had a considerable chance of safely escaping.

As for this forest, once it lost the Shadow Treasure Pearl, it would naturally gradually shrink until it vanished completely.

Though it seemed she had a chance, in reality, her plan equated to gambling with her life.

The first challenge was bypassing the Demon God’s minions, which was extremely difficult; second, the emergency transmission device might not necessarily work.

One could say, Yuan Danqing was risking it all to eliminate this forest.

…

The killing intent quietly descended.

In this shadow-covered forest, a group of fallen beings who were adept at moving within the darkness was spreading.

Their purpose for being here was singular—kill!

Although their most precise task was preventing the Dark Treasure Pearl from falling into human hands, the simplest way to complete this task was undeniably killing.

As long as they killed all the adventurers attracted by the treasure, they inadvertently completed the task of guarding the Shadow Treasure Pearl.

Battle and slaughter rapidly spread throughout the forest.

Within the woods, Lin Ye had already sensed something amiss.

“These guys… Indeed, the Shadow Demon God wouldn’t just watch his treasure be taken by humans.”

Through the perspective of the Mechanical Crow, Lin Ye had noticed some people were clearly not coming for the treasure…

They simply came to kill!

However, this scenario was something Lin Ye had anticipated.

After all, each Supreme Treasure was condensed by the Demon God’s Origin Power; with every use, there was less. Unless they seized from other Demon Gods, basically, there was no way to replenish them.

Therefore, each Demon God held their treasures in high regard.

Regarding the current presence of these many Shadow Demon God’s minions in the forest, Lin Ye was prepared.

And each adventurer entering this forest would generally have this kind of awareness.

Coveting others’ treasures means paying a price.

And this price could very well be your life.

“Better quickly find the Shadow Treasure Pearl…”

Lin Ye didn’t want to end up being surrounded by Demon God’s minions.

Even though he had a way to escape, it wasn’t a reason to face these fallen beings head-on.

Doing reckless things was best avoided.

Lin Ye executed another flash, searching over another area.

Based on the crow’s view, he tried to select regions untouched by the fallen beings.

Time slipped by, and more than an hour passed.

Lin Ye suddenly raised his head.

“Ah… It truly seems predestined…”

He smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, in this life, again Yuan Danqing found the Shadow Treasure Pearl first.

Through, the crow’s vision, Lin Ye saw Yuan Danqing starting to dig under a big tree.

It was obvious; she had discovered something.

…

“It’s here…”

Yuan Danqing’s heart raced wildly; right now, for her, as long as she could immediately dig out that Shadow Treasure Pearl, she could end all this.

However, she already sensed that those fallen beings scattered through the forest were all converging towards her position.

“Faster!”

She gritted her teeth, using a long dagger, constantly digging up the soil.

At that moment, a chilling murderous intent made her body freeze.

“That’s not something you can dig up, little girl.”

A slightly mocking voice came from behind her.
