Chapter 630: Chapter 226: Opportunity (Part 3)

She felt something was off last night, not physically, but mentally.

Strange thoughts kept appearing inexplicably.

At the time, it wasn’t very obvious, but after hearing Lin Zheyu’s reminder, she carefully reflected and indeed found something amiss.

Following Lin Zheyu’s reminder, after Li Yin managed her injuries, she did not continue into the forest to search for traces of the Demon God’s seeds.

On the other hand, Guo Yu and Zheng Mountain were nowhere to be seen, likely immersed in the joy of searching for the Demon God’s seeds.

After all, these things aren’t very strong, just fast.

Although hidden, with the help of the God-devouring Worm, finding them is still quite simple.

The sun sets in the west.

The dim yellow light spreads across the sky, illuminating the clouds and the earth, painting the world in a warm orange tone.

In a hidden corner, Wo Yi watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure with a smirk of disdain.

"No problem with the tracking mark, it seems this person doesn’t know much about the immortal cultivation techniques."

"Well, he’s just a rogue cultivator without a Sect. Although he gained some inheritance from somewhere, he surely is not that powerful."

Wo Yi relaxed completely.

The information has already been sent out, now it’s just a matter of waiting for the right moment.

...

Two days later.

When Lin Zheyu returned to the forest defense line, he saw more unfamiliar faces.

"Who are these people?"

Lin Zheyu walked up to Li Yin and pointed at those unfamiliar Martial Artists.

Those Martial Artists had strong auras, all skillful Huajin Level experts.

"They were the Transforming Force Powerhouses sent by Great Wei two days ago. This is one of the six areas most likely to open a time-space node, they’ve been sent here to prevent any accidents."

Li Yin explained.

She looked at Lin Zheyu and continued, "Thanks again for Mr. Lin’s reminder last time; the Demon God’s seed indeed had issues. If not for you, we would have realized it too late when the problem worsened."

Li Yin felt somewhat scared.

Upon returning to the Sect, even her master couldn’t pinpoint the problem.

It was only when Li Yin mentioned the Demon God’s seed that their Sect’s Elder recalled some rumors about these seeds.

"No need to be so polite, Miss Li. Was the problem finally resolved?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

He wanted to know how others managed to resolve the bizarre aura.

"No way to resolve it."

"The Elder’s advice was that after capturing the Demon God’s seeds, it’s best not to kill them or have prolonged contact."

"If too much of the Demon God’s aura is absorbed, the only solution is to leverage the passing of time and the power of true intent to slowly wear it away."

"Otherwise, under the influence of the Demon God’s aura, one might be converted to a follower of the Demon God." Li Yin said gravely.

"I see."

"Seems it’s better not to be too proactive." Lin Zheyu laughed and said.

He looked around but didn’t see anyone from the Observatory or any trace of Guo Yu.

"Mr. Zheng, wasn’t Mr. Guo with you previously? Why haven’t I seen him today?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"Mr. Guo is injured and couldn’t come today." Zheng Mountain sighed.

"I see."

"With so many Transforming Force Powerhouses here, our next tasks will be easier." Lin Zheyu said, smiling.

As always, he patrolled around the defense line, returned to his familiar spot, and started his barbecue endeavor.

Li Yin and Zheng Mountain were long accustomed to this, but the new Huajin Martial Artists curiously examined Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu greeted them with a smile and then ignored them.

Crackle~~

The firewood burned, the water inside the wood exploded, making a cracking sound.

Casually barbecuing beast meat, Lin Zheyu immersed himself in his body.

He had long activated internal view, studying the energy mark wrapped in Qi Blood Energy.

"Too profound, without relevant knowledge, it’s impossible to condense Qi Blood Energy into a similar mark."

Lin Zheyu sighed and shook his head slightly.

For the past few days, he had been researching this energy mark, hoping to learn something useful from it.

Unfortunately, there were almost no results.

"The energy density and level of this energy are very high, even my Golden Qi Blood Energy is far inferior."

"If the true force were condensed, I wonder how it would compare with this energy."

Lin Zheyu pondered silently.

Time slowly passed.

Seven days went by in the blink of an eye.

In the forest, Demon God seeds increased, while magic puppets decreased, not disappearing, rather hiding.

Throughout these days, Lin Zheyu was extremely cautious, but the young man hadn’t taken any action.

Night fell.

Lin Zheyu ended a day of barbecue and began his nightly patrol.

Unlike usual, tonight was eerily quiet, the magic puppets disappearing entirely without a trace.

Whish—

The knife light sliced through, as a magic puppet’s head fell to the ground with a thud. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Feels like a storm is brewing!"

Lin Zheyu perceived a heavy oppression.

All the magic puppets had hidden away, not even the ones used as cannon fodder, released to draw attention, were visible.

The one he just killed was found due to Lin Zheyu’s strong senses.

Suddenly, he sensed movement from the token in his embrace.

Lin Zheyu quickly took out the token, which was gleaming with golden light.

"Emergency situation!"

Lin Zheyu was stunned, and quickly retreated.

The token showed red light, indicating a companion was in danger; golden light signified an emergency situation.
