Chapter 629: Chapter 226: Opportunity (Part 2)

Lin Zheyu suddenly kicked out with his right foot, sending the headless demon puppet’s body flying to the side.

"Unexpected gain, earned another 10 contribution points."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

He felt that the sources of Yin Sha power near the defense line were like a field of leeks, where new demon puppet leeks would grow every once in a while.

Those who could infiltrate here were generally not weak, most were in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, bringing him a wealth of rewards.

Lin Zheyu picked up the demon puppet’s head from the ground and continued to leisurely walk through the forest.

...

In the forest.

Wo Yi silently stood on the branch of a large tree, watching Lin Zheyu’s figure drift away from a distance.

When he sensed Lin Zheyu getting a bit too close, he quickly retreated a bit further away.

"A bit overly cautious, at this distance, even I couldn’t perceive him."

"If he were a shaman practitioner, it would be even more impossible to discover. Shamans focus on the physical body, their spiritual perception can’t compare with that of a cultivator."

Wo Yi laughed a little, feeling he was being overly cautious.

It was this cautious habit developed over the years that had kept him alive to this day.

"Something’s odd."

"Clearly so powerful, yet behaves so cautiously, only patrolling near the defense line, could it be that he has discovered something?"

"Better mark him first, can’t let the catch slip away."

Wo Yi muttered to himself.

With both hands in mid-air, he cast a spell, Spiritual Power surged from within, forming a special mark in the air under his control.

"Go!"

Wo Yi softly shouted, and the mark flew towards Lin Zheyu’s direction.

Once the mark left, it merged into the air and disappeared.

Wo Yi chuckled twice and vanished from the spot.

Lin Zheyu was completely unaware of Wo Yi’s visit.

His perception field extended only about two hundred meters. Beyond that, although he could sense any slight disturbance, it wasn’t the same as his perception field.

Moreover, with Wo Yi’s concealing skill, Lin Zheyu couldn’t sense him at all.

As he walked, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Again!"

"No, this time is different, there’s no weird energy from the demon god seed."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He continued forward without any change in expression, but his Qi Blood surged inside him, enveloping the mysterious energy that had just appeared in his body.

"This energy is different from the demon god’s aura... is it a cultivator’s method?"

Lin Zheyu contemplated.

He controlled his Qi Blood energy, not extinguishing this external energy immediately, only wrapping it up.

This energy was highly concealed.

However, having just experienced the demon god seed’s strangeness, Lin Zheyu was already on high alert, pushing his perception to the limit.

At the instant the energy mark entered his body, Lin Zheyu immediately noticed it and swiftly used golden Qi Blood to wrap the energy, preventing it from merging into his body.

Given the strangeness of the energy mark, if it was absorbed into his body, he might not even realize it.

"Is it that guy’s method?"

Lin Zheyu speculated, "If it’s his method, then this energy is very likely used for locating."

Lin Zheyu multitasked, advancing while opening internal observation to examine the energy that invaded his body.

As he observed, he found this energy had formed a stable energy structure in the shape of a mark in a special way.

The strange energy that had previously invaded his body showed no discernible structure to Lin Zheyu.

In Lin Zheyu’s view, that was just an ordinary piece of energy, albeit a bit strange.

"Is that person still around?"

Lin Zheyu pushed his perception to the limit but found nothing.

The other party might possess strong concealment methods to evade his perception, or might have left after leaving the energy mark.

"Leaving a mark implies he doesn’t intend to act immediately, he’s waiting for an opportunity."

"You’re not the only one waiting for an opportunity; I am waiting too. I’ve long wanted to see the legendary cultivator, to see what makes them special."

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.

He didn’t destroy the energy mark in his body, not wanting to alert the opponent prematurely. He also intended to use this energy mark for some purposes.

Time slowly passed.

Until dawn, there was no action from that person, confirming Lin Zheyu’s suspicions.

Rustle~~

The forest was filled with rustling sounds.

Li Yin’s graceful figure appeared in the forest.

"Want some roasted meat?"

Lin Zheyu looked at Li Yin, smiling as he asked.

"No, thank you."

Li Yin forced a slight smile; her face was a bit pale, with many injuries on her body, indicating she had gone through a fierce battle the previous night.

She slowly walked over to Lin Zheyu, sat down, took off her top, revealing her fair skin, wearing only a chest wrap, and began tending to her wounds.

"Did you feel anything strange when you were looking for the demon god seed last night?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"No."

"Though it was well-concealed, I found it quickly with the help of the God-devouring Worm." Li Yin shook her head.

A hint of doubt appeared on her face; Li Yin didn’t think Lin Zheyu would ask such a question for no reason.

"Did Mr. Lin discover something?"

After tending to her wounds, Li Yin dressed again and asked in confusion.

"A little."

"The demon god seed has issues; after destroying it, some special energy is produced."

"I think when you return tonight, you’d better have the elders of the Sect take a look and check if there’s any problem with your body."

Lin Zheyu suggested.

"Is that so!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the warning."

Li Yin thought for a moment, then sincerely thanked him.
