Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 149 Tracking (2/2)
“lin daoyou, if you’re in need, just say the word. i still have quite a few…”
lin jing nodded, and then said to xu ye,
“thank you for your kind offer, xu daoyou…”
“actually, the reason i’m here is to ask if anything has happened recently with xu daoyou,”
“i haven’t come out for a while and i don’t know the current situation.”
xu ye nodded, and then said,
“indeed, several things have happened recently…”
“one of them is that during the time you were in seclusion, another group of people was transferred in.”
hearing about more people being transferred in, lin jing couldn’t help but frown, then he asked,
“how many people were transferred in this time?”
xu ye said,
“this time, fewer were transferred in, only six.”
hearing that only six people were transferred in, lin jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
it had been nearly a year since lin jing arrived.
this was the first time that people had been transferred in since then.
and the number of people transferred in was not large.
if it continued like this, then there would be enough time for lin jing to cultivate.
the fear was an incident like the one lin jing experienced, where in one trade meeting, a hundred or more people were pulled in.
in that case, after two or three more times, the devouring spirit blood realm would be filled with a thousand people.
these thousand people included not only the living cultivators but also those who had turned into blood corpses, or those who died within the devouring spirit blood realm.
in fact, inside the devouring spirit blood realm,
apart from cultivators, there were only blood corpses.
even those killed by other cultivators would soon turn into blood corpses and emerge from the sea of blood.
therefore, hoping to reduce the number of cultivators to prevent the thousand people from filling up was futile.
once you enter the devouring spirit blood realm, there’s no escape.
it was precisely because of this that xu ye thought of using the power of heavenly tribulation to forcibly break open the devouring spirit blood realm.
……
after listening, lin jing nodded and said,
“besides this, is there anything else?”
xu ye said,
“there is…”
“recently, for some reason, the puppet guild has made several moves at night, and many cultivators have been killed.”
“these cultivators were all newly-appeared, perhaps from the same batch as you, recent ‘newcomers’ to the vicinity of the sea of blood beach.”
“lin daoyou, you need to be cautious during this time.”
“new faces?” lin jing pondered for a moment before nodding.
then,
xu ye suddenly spoke up, asking lin jing again,
“by the way…”
“lin daoyou, i haven’t asked you yet, where did you choose your mountain peak?”
lin jing replied,
“the place i chose isn’t around here; it’s already beyond the range of the sea of blood beach.”
after that, lin jing informed xu ye of his mountain peak’s location.
xu ye listened and nodded, saying,
“ah…”
“it’s better to leave the range of the sea of blood beach; the puppet guild is quite active here.”
afterward, the two chatted for a while, and lin jing left xu ye’s place.
however, on the way down the mountain,
lin jing felt something was amiss, as if someone was covertly watching him.
therefore, lin jing immediately extended his divine sense, probing the surroundings.
under the cover of lin jing’s powerful nascent soul stage divine sense, nothing could escape.
in lin jing’s divine sense, he noticed a yellow pine cultivator was staring at him the whole time.
moreover, this yellow pine cultivator had a jade pendant that was emitting a glow. this jade pendant seemed to be a magical treasure with concealing abilities, attempting to hide its presence in the light, evading lin jing’s divine sense investigation.
however, the concealment effect of the jade pendant didn’t work.
lin jing’s divine sense probe could clearly feel that while the jade pendant might suffice against the divine sense of golden core cultivators, against his nascent soul stage divine sense, it was practically like a mere decoration.
lin jing did not act rashly against this cultivator observing him.
instead, he pretended to be unaware and directly departed the place on his sword.
this time, lin jing didn’t travel fast.
and his divine sense continued to monitor the cultivator who was watching him.
seeing lin jing leave, the yellow pine cultivator hesitated for a while before he also mounted his sword and followed behind lin jing.
lin jing noticed this and his lips curved into a smirk.
it seemed he still needed to find a way to deal with this tail.
following that, lin jing continued on his sword away from the sea of blood beach, flying into the depths of the mountain range.
during this time, lin jing’s speed was consistently slow.
the yellow pine cultivator also maintained a slow pace, following behind lin jing.
until they entered deep into the mountain range, lin jing suddenly accelerated, departing from the divine sense range of the other person.
after leaving the other person’s divine sense range, lin jing immediately called out his system and entered the system space.
upon entering system space, lin jing wasted no time and immediately entered observation mode.
when lin jing observed the outside situation in observation mode, the cultivator had just arrived at the place.
at that moment, the yellow pine cultivator, who had lost sight of lin jing, couldn’t help but be perplexed,
“strange…”
“why did he suddenly accelerate, could it be that he discovered me?”
