Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Chapter 153: The Final Battle with the Puppet Guild (2/2)
“don’t tell me you’ve been exposed?”
lin jing nodded and said:
“`
“hmm, yes…”
“yesterday, i didn’t hide my identity and took a stroll on the blood beach, and they followed me.”
xu ye was startled and quickly asked:
“lin daoyou, why did you do that?”
lin jing looked up into the distance, fell silent for a moment, and then said:
“consider it an act of revenge for friends. they killed two of my acquaintances in their search for me.”
upon hearing this, xu ye’s eyebrows immediately furrowed:
“it’s like that…”
“now that you’ve killed people from the puppet guild, they definitely won’t let you off.”
“what are your plans now? are you going to hide again, or are you going to fight them head-on?”
“do you need my help?”
lin jing then turned his head, looked towards xu ye, and said:
“speaking of which, there really is something i need your help with, xu daoyou.”
xu ye hurriedly said:
“what is it? please tell me, lin daoyou.”
lin jing then said:
“i need you to expose the location of my cave to them.”
lin jing’s words startled xu ye:
“lin daoyou, what do you mean by this?”
“if you expose the location of your cave, you’ll truly be in danger. i know the puppet guild leader; he will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate against you at night.”
lin jing said:
“no worries…”
“i’ve already found a way to deal with him. i’m not afraid of him coming; i’m afraid he won’t come.”
xu ye looked at lin jing with a puzzled expression and said:
“lin daoyou, are you that confident?”
lin jing replied:
“hmm…”
seeing lin jing’s resolute attitude, xu ye nodded and then said:
“alright…”
“since lin daoyou says so, then i will do as you ask and expose the location of this cave.”
lin jing nodded and said:
“in that case, i’ll trouble you, xu daoyou…”
…
…
in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
during these few days, the entire blood beach was abuzz with the incident involving lin jing.
however, lin jing had yet to make an appearance.
aside from lin jing, even the people from the puppet guild had been keeping a low profile for these two days.
lin jing was originally waiting for the puppet guild leader to bring his men, but there had been no movement for the past two days.
even the location of lin jing’s cave had been secretly leaked to the puppet guild by xu ye.
but even so, the puppet guild leader had still made no move.
lin jing had planned that if the puppet guild leader really came with people to block him during the day, he would hide in the system space to avoid them.
but now, to his surprise, no one came by even at night.
just as lin jing was growing impatient and planned to take another walk near the blood beach, the puppet guild finally took action.
under lin jing’s divine sense surveillance, the puppet guild had set up an encirclement around the mountain where lin jing was located.
this time, the puppet guild directly deployed eighteen cultivators around lin jing’s mountain.
moreover, they had set up a large formation around the mountain lin jing was on.
the puppet guild’s actions were extremely covert; if not for lin jing’s powerful divine sense, he likely wouldn’t have discovered any of this.
all of this was happening quietly…
of course, this quietness was what the puppet guild members believed to be the case.
in fact, everything they did was under lin jing’s surveillance.
this incident gave lin jing a new understanding of the puppet guild leader.
with so many subordinates, he was still so cautious.
he even wanted to quietly encircle him.
while they were busy, lin jing naturally couldn’t just sit idly by; he had already modified the cave.
it was interconnected in every direction.
besides that, lin jing placed a large black stone at intervals within the cave.
his purpose was naturally to disrupt their operations.
though lin jing was inside the cave and didn’t go out, his divine sense had long probed out to observe their actions, even carefully watching the formation they had set up.
just to ensure there were no oversights.
you must know, in the devouring spirit blood realm, spirit stones are incredibly precious.
and setting up a formation requires a large number of spirit stones, so it was clear that the puppet guild leader had really spared no expense to deal with him.
and so…
until this day, as night fell, the puppet guild’s people were all prepared.
including the puppet guild leader, eighteen puppet cultivators had encircled lin jing.
the puppet guild had only a little over forty members, so these eighteen accounted for almost half of their number.
although they had strength in numbers, lin jing was not afraid.
as long as the puppet guild leader made a move, that would be sufficient.
if it really came to a fight, lin jing would let them know what it meant to ‘fight fire with fire.’
soon, the sky darkened.
at this time, the blood corpses were about to emerge.
lin jing took advantage of this moment to probe out with his divine sense once more, confirming the positions of the puppet guild’s cultivators surrounding him, as well as the puppet guild leader’s location.
once sure there were no errors, lin jing withdrew his divine sense.
next…
he just needed to wait for the blood corpses to appear, and then lin jing could start his move…
