Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Chapter 111: Mysterious Demon Cultivator (2/2)
and then fell silent.
after this price was called out, no one in private room number three continued to bid.
therefore,
on the auction stage, the beautiful hostess began the countdown.
“three million five hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, for the first time…”
…
“three million five hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, for the second time…”
…
“three million five hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones, for the third time…”
“sold!”
“congratulations to the friend in private room number one upstairs, for obtaining the final auction item of this auction.”
at this moment, lin jing knew that the auction was about to end, and it was time for him to leave and prepare to start the next step of his plan.
therefore, before the host announced the end of the auction, lin jing left the auction house ahead of time.
no sooner had he stepped out of the auction house than lin jing noticed another person following him.
this person was the mysterious demon cultivator who had participated in the bidding just now.
after coming out, this person did not pay attention to lin jing but immediately disappeared into the crowd.
lin jing only glanced at this person, then left the place himself…
……
four hours later, outside black shark city and under observation mode, lin jing, who had been waiting here for a long time, finally saw that purple-clad youth, the young gang leader of the black shark gang.
at this moment, besides the purple-clad youth, there were several people following him.
among them, two were golden core late stage cultivators, standing beside the purple-clad youth.
behind these three, there was the black-clad, stalwart man, accompanying li qingqing and the other young girl whom the purple-clad youth had won at the auction.
one of the middle-aged cultivators spoke and asked the purple-clad youth,
“young gang leader, are we really not taking the flying boat?”
the purple-clad youth shook his head and said,
“if we want to lure the black kite to black shark island, we must take the owner of the black kite away under the broad daylight; we cannot use the flying boat.”
after saying this, the purple-clad youth looked up and glanced at the sky,
“i believe that as of now, that black kite might be above us in the sky or hiding in some corner, secretly watching us.”
“but, hall master zhao, you needn’t worry.”
“this time, i’ve prepared magical treasures capable of flying. though their speed is inferior to that of the flying boat, their defensive functions are excellent, and they are not afraid of stealth attacks from the black kite.”
hall master zhao nodded, then said,
“alright…”
“then, since that’s the case, let’s go.”
the purple-clad youth nodded, then took out a peculiarly-shaped magical treasure from his space ring.
this magical treasure looked half like a fan.
next, the purple-clad youth channelled his spiritual power into it, causing the treasure to expand significantly, spanning several feet in diameter.
after that, the group boarded the treasure and left black xing island.
after they had departed, lin jing waited for quite a while before coming out of the system space.
upon lin jing’s exit, little sparrow flew from somewhere and perched on lin jing’s shoulder.
then, lin jing, along with little sparrow, left black xing island.
once they entered the sea area and saw that there was nobody around, lin jing directly took out the shadow escape flying boat, and together with little sparrow, began piloting the flying boat in pursuit of the group.
thanks to the strong concealment ability of the shadow escape flying boat, even when they were close, lin jing wasn’t worried about being discovered.
but lin jing’s intention was not to catch up and attack them but to continue waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.
first, he needed to get ahead of them.
……
the shadow escape flying boat was fast, and before long, lin jing piloted it to catch up with the young gang leader of the black shark gang and his group.
at this juncture, lin jing was inside the shadow escape flying boat, observing the group.
however,
none of them was aware that there was a flying boat above them.
after observing them for a while, lin jing accelerated ahead of the group, planning to lay an ambush in front.
the shadow escape flying boat was incredibly fast, and it didn’t take long before lin jing had left them far behind.
just as lin jing had chosen a good spot and was about to set up the ambush,
at that moment, he suddenly detected unusual fluctuations ahead.
consequently, lin jing hurriedly piloted the flying boat towards them.
upon arrival, lin jing discovered a person setting up a formation,
and the set up of this formation was nearing completion, almost ready to activate.
lin jing focused his gaze…
and saw that it was that mysterious demon cultivator, who he had seen earlier at the auction, sitting not far from him.
this person was setting up a formation here, but for what purpose?
shortly, the formation was completed.
at the successful moment of the formation’s activation, it completely concealed itself.
this turned out to be a formation with a cloaking feature.
at this time, the mysterious demon cultivator stood in front of the formation, seeming to await someone’s arrival…
lin jing watched the demon cultivator while recalling his actions inside the auction house.
he then began to contemplate internally,
“could it be that this person has a grudge against the black shark gang’s young gang leader?”
“or is he also after li qingqing?”
the actions of this mysterious demon cultivator in the auction house were clearly observed by lin jing.
it was obvious that he too had wanted to win li qingqing but, unfortunately, didn’t have enough spirit stones on him.
watching the mysterious demon cultivator, lin jing frowned and pondered,
“could it be that to snatch li qingqing, this person has set up an ambush here to intercept the young gang leader of the black shark gang and his group?”
but this person was clearly overestimating his abilities.
thinking he could intercept the young gang leader’s group with just a mid-stage golden core cultivation seemed like wishful thinking, akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
however,
it was the appearance of this mysterious demon cultivator that caused lin jing to change his mind.
he decided to hold off for the time being,
deciding to wait until the two parties started fighting before looking for an opportunity to rescue li qingqing.
