Chapter 627: Chapter 225: Shaman Cultivator (Part 4)

"But this matter cannot be rushed; it needs careful planning. We mustn’t lose the bigger picture by revealing our identity."

Wo Yi mused.

Tonight he entered the forest, not for Lin Zheyu.

Rather, it was to make contact with Mr. Fan and scout the area for planning the next steps.

...

The inexplicable hostility from the young man made Lin Zheyu feel as if there were a thorn in his throat.

After returning to the forest, he checked the items he carried with him.

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, took out three Spirit Stones, and placed them against his stomach, securing them with strips of cloth torn from his clothes.

To prevent any unforeseen crisis, Lin Zheyu made preparations in advance.

As long as his body could make contact, when he used Source Power, the mysterious energy generated by Source Power could absorb the energy from the Spirit Stones through body contact.

"Now it’s fine."

"If danger arises, first elevate Primordial Infinite True Skill to Third-Layer Perfection."

"Once at Third-Layer Perfection, Primordial Infinite True Skill allows the power of the Peak of Transforming Force, giving a means to protect myself."

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

By then, combined with Blood Burning Saber Skill and burning ninety percent of Life Essence, even against an Innate Martial Artist, Lin Zheyu dared to face the challenge.

After making preparations, Lin Zheyu, wielding the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade, began to patrol.

Meanwhile, Guo Yu and the others had already entered the forest, searching for traces of the Demon God seed.

"The number one of the Infinite Sect’s younger generation, huh, just a coward."

In the forest, Guo Yu sneered.

Earlier, he invited Lin Zheyu to team up to search for traces of the Demon God seed, but Lin Zheyu politely declined.

"Maybe he was scared out of his wits after learning the secrets of demons and cultivators," Zheng Mountain chuckled, unconcerned.

"If his courage is so easily broken, his temperament is nothing."

"I’ve heard stories about him, thought he was a rising star, but turns out he’s just empty fame."

Guo Yu chuckled dismissively, speaking disdainfully.

He took out the God-devouring Worm and held it in his palm, saying, "Hurry up, each Demon God seed is a treasure; my advancement to Transforming Force, even to Grandmaster, depends on it."

The rewards for finding a Demon God seed were incredibly abundant, and Guo Yu was full of ambition.

"Alright!"

"I’m good at Lightweight Skill; once the Demon God seed is trapped, use all your power to destroy it, and don’t miss the opportunity."

Zheng Mountain reminded.

"Don’t worry, we’ve worked together so many times; don’t you trust my ability?" Guo Yu shrugged, laughing wickedly.

"Of course I trust you, that’s why I’m collaborating with you; just giving you a little reminder," Zheng Mountain said.

He cast a sideways glance at Guo Yu, seeing the smugness on his face, and couldn’t help but let a few cold laughs escape in his heart.

’Idiot.’

’He really thinks Demon God seeds are ordinary stuff; too much exposure can pollute a martial artist’s mind.’

’That Lin Zheyu probably knows something, which is why he didn’t act with us.’

Zheng Mountain thought to himself.

He didn’t believe that someone like Lin Zheyu, who could condense Tyrannical True Intent and rank 24th on the Hidden Dragon List, could be a coward, a weakling.

The other side likely understands the same as he does, the dangers of being tainted by Demon God power, hence the avoidance.

Shashasha~~~

A cold wind blew, temperatures dropped, making the night much colder.

Lin Zheyu held a God-devouring Worm in his left hand, with the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade in his right, patrolling near the defensive line.

Keh-keh——

Suddenly, the God-devouring Worm in his palm emitted a unique cry, like two clear stones clashing, producing an ethereal keh-keh sound.

"Did it find a Demon God seed?"

"I didn’t sense anything at all!"

Lin Zheyu was astonished.

He quickly released his left hand, and the colorful God-devouring Worm shot out swiftly, its speed indeed remarkable. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Even among Martial Artists in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, this speed at least belonged to the upper-middle level.
