Chapter 452: Chapter 452: 149 Tracking

“`

Two hundred thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones, to these Golden Core Cultivators, might not be a lot in the outside world, but in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, it truly is no small amount.

There are definitely many who would be tempted by it.

Moreover, since the actions were taking place at night, one only needed to control the puppets, and there was no real danger to oneself.

When calculated like this, it is completely a pie falling from the sky—many would undoubtedly clamor for it…

……

Afterward, the Puppet Guild Leader continued to speak:

“In a while, have the Cultivator responsible for surveillance come back first, since he has come back from the depths of the Sea of Blood, it means he has not found a way out.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely settle down on a mountain peak.”

“After he settles down, we’ll make our move, and then we’ll only need to know where he’s staying.”

The Yellow Pine Cultivator, upon hearing this, nodded and said:

“Yes, Guild Leader…”

“I will notify him right now…”

The Puppet Guild Leader nodded, then waved his hand, signaling the Yellow Pine Cultivator to leave.

……

Meanwhile…

On Lin Jing’s side, after having a discussion with Xu Ye, Lin Jing then left.

Since no other exit could be found, Lin Jing’s next step was to follow Xu Ye’s advice and rely on Heavenly Tribulation Power to break through the special prison that was the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.

After leaving Xu Ye, Lin Jing searched for a mountain peak as a place of rest for the night.

Lin Jing first made a round in the vicinity and noticed that although there were quite a few mountain peaks nearby, there were also quite a few people.

It wasn’t too suitable to squeeze in anymore.

Thus, Lin Jing spent another four hours outside the range of the Sea of Blood beach before he found a quiet mountain peak.

Afterward, Lin Jing carved out a cave on this mountain peak to reside in.

Once Lin Jing had settled into the cave, the sky had also darkened, and then Lin Jing blocked the entrance with a black boulder.

As for himself, he entered into the System Space.

Cultivation outside in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm was impossible, but inside the System Space, it was another matter entirely.

The System Space was rich with Spiritual Energy, and there was also the bonus of accelerated time flow, so Lin Jing’s cultivation was almost the same as when he was in the outside world.

Therefore, Lin Jing went straight to the Alchemy Room and began cultivating…

……

And just like that, Lin Jing cultivated uninterrupted for half a month, and during this time, he was undisturbed and no one came looking for trouble.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing’s Cultivation steadily improved with the continuous practice.

However…

While Lin Jing had no issues, the Puppet Guild had some.

Just because Lin Jing had altered his appearance and the aura of his Cultivation, making it vastly different from before.

Moreover, to prevent startling the snake, the Puppet Guild Leader had withdrawn the Cultivator who had been tasked with surveilling Lin Jing.

As a result…

From that day on, they could no longer find any trace of Lin Jing.

This made the Puppet Guild Leader so angry that he nearly spat blood.

Everything had been going well, but they had managed to mess it up.

And Lin Jing was still completely unaware of all this…

However, today, things finally took a turn.

At the same mountain peak, the same Yellow Pine Cultivator was reporting to the Puppet Guild Leader:

“Guild Leader, we have found out about that Cultivator…”

The Puppet Guild Leader, clearly in a bad mood, said directly to the Yellow Pine Cultivator:

“Speak…”

The Yellow Pine Cultivator, aware of the Guild Leader’s foul temper, did not dally, but spoke at once:

“That Cultivator, named Lin Jing…”

“We only learned this after capturing two Cultivators who knew him.”

“Moreover…”

“Lin Jing has a concealment Cultivation Technique that is extremely powerful, easily disguising himself as someone else and not being discovered by anyone.”

“During this time, Lin Jing has not appeared and has not met with Xu Ye; he has been alone.”

“I think we should make our move on the unfamiliar Cultivators; among these strangers, Lin Jing must be one.”

After listening, the Puppet Guild Leader’s brow furrowed. After a moment’s thought, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said:

“Fine…”

“We’ll do it this way. Remove all unfamiliar Cultivators.”

“Yes…” the Yellow Pine Cultivator responded, then backed out.

……

Time flew by, and a few more days passed.

Today.

Lin Jing finished his meditation, left the cave, and returned to Xu Ye’s mountain peak.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Xu Ye expressed surprise:

“Lin Daoyou, I feel like your Cultivation has improved quite a bit these past few days…”

Lin Jing replied modestly:

“It’s okay, I’ve made a bit of progress…”

Xu Ye then said:

“Lin Daoyou, if you lack Spirit Stones or Elixir Medicines, let me know. I’ll give you some.”

Lin Jing waved his hand and said:

“No need, I haven’t been in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm for long, and I still have enough Spirit Stones and Elixir Medicines with me.”

“`

Xu Ye nodded gently, and then said,

“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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

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?”
