Chapter 726: Chapter 634: Clash of Fate, Encounter with an Old Friend (Combined Chapter)

It was obvious that the scheme belonging to him had been tampered with again.

This time, the method was even more concealed and malicious.

If it hadn’t erupted suddenly, he would’ve found it hard to notice.

The opponent was manipulating his fate to worsen his luck, naturally leading to more dangers.

The previous misfortunes in several districts, and today’s high-tier demon attack, were all related to the obscured fate.

As the saying goes, when fortune comes, heaven and earth work together, when fortune goes, heroes are helpless.

’Who exactly is scheming against me?’ Lou Yi began to recall the people or demons he had killed, trying to deduce which force he had offended.

When the thought of ’Ba’ flashed by, his heart skipped a beat, and his divination talent reacted for the first time.

Lou Yi realized this was because the person scheming against him had acted too boldly and finally revealed a slight flaw.

’It seems to be related to the Trench Patrol Guest; I cannot take this lightly.’ Lou Yi’s expression grew solemn.

After all, the Trench Patrol Guests were established by the Immortal Dao Alliance, the largest force in the Cultivation Realm, making anything related to them tricky to handle.

He suppressed this matter in his heart, refocusing on the current situation.

"Thank you, Trench Patrol Guest, and fellow Daoist Su for your assistance!" Ding Shiniang, along with Lin Xuan and Lou Yi, expressed gratitude to the Trench Patrol Guest and Su Xinghe, who had just helped.

"You all came to exterminate demons, and as the Trench Patrol Guest of this district, I naturally cannot stand by and watch," said the Trench Patrol Guest of the Weisu District, whose bronze mask was engraved with dragon tail-like patterns. His character seemed much more forthright than ’Ba.’ He smiled and said,

"You should really thank Daoist Su; he just sacrificed quite a bit to save you."

Lou Yi and the others looked at Su Xinghe.

They noticed his face was pale, his body trembling slightly, and a trace of blood seeping from his lips.

Clearly, the astonishing strike was not a normal method and likely consumed a large amount of Primordial Qi.

Hence, Ding Shiniang and the others sincerely thanked Su Xinghe.

"It’s part of my duty." Su Xinghe seemed awkward with words, merely giving a stiff reply, then remained silent.

"Just now, that demon seemed to target you specifically, quite strange." Someone at the scene questioned.

Ding Shiniang and the others exchanged glances, unsure how to respond.

Because they also felt similarly but couldn’t explain it.

"What’s strange about that? The nature of demons is erratic and cannot be reasoned with." Fortunately, someone quickly helped them deflect.

The grand demon eradication operation concluded perfectly at this point.

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again."

Lou Yi and the others greeted the other cultivators present and once again set out towards the Fangsu District.

However, not long after their journey began, Lou Yi proposed the idea of departing from the group.

"What, you want to travel alone?" Lin Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the other teammates, Lou Yi explained: "Throughout this journey, our luck has been terrible—we’ve been chased and attacked. Haven’t you noticed?"

"Are you implying..." The others listened and were taken aback.

"Someone must be scheming against me, dragging you into this," Lou Yi said apologetically, "The key is, I still don’t know their identity.

I was thinking, temporarily separating from you..."

"How is that possible? If someone is plotting against you, you should stay with us." Lin Xuan hurriedly interrupted, stepping forward and tightly gripping Lou Yi’s sleeve.

"Exactly, if they were truly formidable, why scheme in secret? Why not just come and kill you directly?" Elder Gui agreed, "Leaving the team will only become more dangerous for you." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing the worry in his teammates’ eyes, Lou Yi felt warmth in his heart.

But having made up his mind, he firmly shook his head and said:

"Without doing this, I can’t lure them out.

Rest assured, I’ve already called my friend over.

With him here, you needn’t worry about my safety. Once the matter is resolved, I’ll come to find you."

Upon hearing Lou Yi mention he had called his so-called friend over, everyone felt relieved.

In their eyes, Lou Yi’s friend who could kill the Trench Patrol Guest ’Ba’ was clearly a master of the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform.

"Alright, then we’ll wait for you in the Fangsu District." Ding Shiniang gave Lou Yi a flirtatious look, laughing sweetly, "Little sapling, don’t get into trouble, I’m still waiting to..."

Before she could finish her words, Lou Yi vanished like a puff of smoke, leaving Ding Shiniang’s smile suddenly froze.

After parting ways with his teammates, Lou Yi immediately headed to a secluded cave in the Weisu District.

After setting up a warning array at the entrance, he began to study the anomaly in his mind.

He deployed his divination talent.

He could see in the void before him, surrounding the vibrant red orb representing himself, was a layer of malevolent, deathly still, dark aura, seemingly carrying all the world’s negative energy.

’Did you really think I couldn’t handle you?’ Lou Yi squinted his eyes, looking at the description of the divination talent on the Attribute Panel.

Divination (Passive): Enhances the prediction and sensing of danger, strengthens manipulation and deduction of schemes.

Divination (Active): Perform divination on living beings or items, obtaining partial desired results; if encountering schemes, can counter, mislead... Can only be used once in a short period.

The enemy scheming through manipulation will certainly leave a trace.

Lou Yi began patiently, constantly activating his divination talent, searching and probing around the dark aura bit by bit.
