Chapter 742: 745: The Candidate to Snipe Lin Zhen

Upon hearing Ning Qingxuan’s words, Lin Zhen released her and they walked back into the room together.

“Go ahead, let’s hear what my Xuan’er has to teach me.”

“Husband, are you sure you want to enter the Falling Star Lake Holy Land?”

Lin Zhen was stunned: “Can I enter any other Holy Land?”

Ning Qingxuan said: “It’s not impossible to enter Falling Star Lake, but husband, among the Four Great Sacred Lands, each martial artist can only choose one. If you enter Falling Star Lake for enlightenment, you won’t be able to enter other Holy Lands in the future, and you will belong to the Falling Star Lake lineage.”

“The Four Great Sacred Lands are independent of each other and compete against each other. From what I know, Falling Star Lake Holy Land does not have any advantage compared to the other three.”

Lin Zhen pondered for a moment: “In other words, if I enter the Falling Star Lake for enlightenment, I won’t be able to go to other Holy Lands in the future.”

“Yes, each Holy Land’s martial arts have their own unique features, and not being able to gain enlightenment is a regret. That’s why I’m telling you this, so you can think it over.”

Lin Zhen was silent for a while: “I’ll still enter Falling Star Lake, as I can’t leave Da Qin too far right now. It’s more convenient in Falling Star Lake.”

At this point, Ning Qingxuan suddenly gave Lin Zhen a fierce stare: “I heard that there’s a Saintess in the Phoenix Clan, unparalleled in beauty. Seems that you have a great relationship with her.”

Embarrassment appeared on Lin Zhen’s face, as he knew that he couldn’t hide such a thing forever. Xuan’er’s intelligence meant she probably knew about it long ago, but Lin Zhen had never had a chance to bring it up.

“Xuan’er… ”

Ning Qingxuan suddenly placed a finger on Lin Zhen’s lips: “I’ve seen news about Feng Qingluan in the Dimensional Universe, she’s indeed a very rare good girl, and she’s around my age. I’m not as narrow-minded as ordinary women, though it’s a bit sour in my heart, don’t see me as a vinegar jar.”

Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: “I know, Xuan’er is at most a vinegar bottle.”

A jade-like little fist hammered on Lin Zhen’s chest. In the past, Lin Zhen could still feel the pain, but after the Black Hole Beast entered its growth phase, Ning Qingxuan’s playful punch felt more like tickling.

Soon, Ning Qingxuan was subdued by Lin Zhen, and the two rolled together…

*********

“Crash!”

Elder Qin angrily swept everything on the table onto the floor.

The calligraphy, which had been completed, was also ruined; the ink on the floor looked like a clawing black dragon.

His son, Qin Dong, and brothers Ke Xiangnan and Ke Xiangdong were all sitting on the side with gloomy faces.

“Damn it! The Clan Leader made a decision on his own and directly absorbed Lin Zhen into the clan. What’s more, he sent his name to the headquarters of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. The Fire Kirin Clan only has one spot, and he took it!”

With an endless stream of sulfuric breath coming from his nostrils, Elder Qin paced around the floor before suddenly looking at Ke Xiangnan: “You said you found someone to deal with Lin Zhen. Why hasn’t there been any news yet?”

Ke Xiangnan scratched his head: “That mechanic agreed to deal with Lin Zhen, but because his martial arts enlightenment is at a critical moment, he asked to delay it by a month. We didn’t expect the other side’s action to be so fast, and Lin Zhen’s spot was taken.”

“Contact him again and ask if there’s any way to assassinate Lin Zhen? Even if we can’t get a spot, Lin Zhen must not be allowed to enter the Holy Land, or else no one will be able to control him in the future.”

“Alright, I’ll contact him right now!”

**********

The sudden change of events caught the mechanic off guard, as Lin Zhen’s name had already been submitted and could not be changed, unless Lin Zhen suddenly died right now.

However, Lin Zhen was in the Association of Alchemists and would not easily appear, so even if he wanted to attack Lin Zhen, he had no time to find an opportunity.

One of the two Holy Land Warriors accompanying the mechanic suggested an idea.

“Old fellow, there is a way to deal with Lin Zhen. He doesn’t come out of the Association, so we can’t make a move, but since he’s signed up, he’ll have to attend the Holy Land selection eventually.”

“You mean…?”

“Find someone to assassinate him during the arena match!”

Upon hearing the Holy Land Warrior’s words, the mechanic shook his head slightly: “Of course I’ve considered this, but since Lin Zhen could win first place on the Divine Punishment Star, assassinating him is not an easy task, especially in a one-on-one arena match, where ordinary people probably can’t kill him.”

“You’re wrong. Ordinary martial artists might not be able to kill him, but how about Holy Land Warriors?”

The mechanic looked at his companion: “Your thoughts have some issues. If you’re already a Holy Land Warrior, how could you re-enter the Holy Land selection?”

“Hehe! Old fellow, you only know half of it. Did you know that we caught a Holy Land Warrior from the Desert Locking God Terrace who tried to spy on our Falling Star Lake martial arts?”

“I know, that person tried to spy on our Falling Star Lake martial arts and was captured by our predecessors.”

“That’s right, he’s been chained in the Falling Star Lake water prison for 500 years, completely forgotten. You can find a chance to release him, control him with Soul Refinement, and make him obey you. Then you can send him to participate in the arena match. He has two identities, so it’s possible for him to sign up with another one.”

The mechanic was stunned: “But he won’t pass in the end.”

“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t pass, we don’t expect him to. If he’s discovered, it’s his own fault for escaping, at most the Holy Land will catch and execute him. But before that, he can assassinate Lin Zhen.”

“But how can you be sure that he’ll face Lin Zhen?”

“It’s quite simple. We all came through the selection process and are familiar with the rules. Lin Zhen just recently signed up. We could let him sign up too, and they will soon face each other in one of the rounds. As long as he kills Lin Zhen, he would have completed his task.”

Machine remained silent for a moment, feeling that his companion’s suggestion was very feasible.

A Holy Land Warrior from Locking God Platform, who had always wanted to steal Falling Star Lake’s martial arts skills and signed up for the contest when he escaped from the water prison without giving up his evil intentions. As long as they control him with soul medicine, he will not reveal his identity. Even if he is discovered, they could force him to commit suicide.

“Medicine…?”

“The medicine is not a problem. You pay, and I’ll help you solve it. I have a friend who works under National Master Qian Tong. He can definitely get the elixir to control him.”

When thinking of his son Ye Hua’s death, Machine was filled with hatred for Lin Zhen.

“Fine! I’ll do this. As long as I can kill Lin Zhen, it will be worth it.”

“Hehe! There definitely won’t be any problems. The warrior from the Locking God Platform possesses an Advanced Divine Body and is also in the Longevity Realm. It’s said that he’s even learned the essence of Senluo Divine Sword from the Locking God Platform. With such power, he’s almost a champion, and targeting Lin Zhen will be a piece of cake.”

Machine, the World King, was shocked, “He actually learned Senluo Divine Sword? Isn’t that the stele of our Holy Land?”

“No, no, no! Senluo Divine Sword is one of the several supreme stone steles. Each Holy Land has one, and the contents are all different. It is said that if someone learns all of the Senluo Divine Swords, they can dominate the Original World. But it’s a pity that Holy Lands no longer allow interchange, so no one has the opportunity to learn all of the Senluo Divine Swords.”

“Oh, then I can rest assured. Such a powerful warrior is probably above us. I’ll find an opportunity to release him.”

“I’ll help you with the contacts. As long as you’re willing to pay, I know the person who guards the water prison…”

After receiving Machine’s response, Ke Xiangnan finally felt relieved.

“Elder Qin, don’t worry, Machine has agreed to find someone to kill Lin Zhen during the competition.”

“Did he say who he’s going to find?”

“He didn’t tell me that, but he assured me not to worry. The person he’ll find is extremely powerful and has arranged everything well. Lin Zhen will definitely die in the competition.”

Elder Qin remained silent for a while, “We cannot put all our hopes in the hands of others. Lin Zhen is now at the Kirin Clan and is highly valued by the clan leader. I’m afraid that, at this rate, the Fire Kirin Clan will eventually fall into Lin Zhen’s hands.”

“We can’t control this, can we?” Ke Xiangnan asked.

“Not necessarily. If one day, the current clan leader dies, who do you think has the best chance to succeed him?”

Ke Xiangnan was stunned, “Of course, it would be Elder Qin.”

“As long as you know it.”

Upon hearing Elder Qin’s words, a chill went down Ke Xiangnan’s spine, but it was accompanied by even greater ambition.

*********

Inside the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen was practicing.

Ning Qingxuan’s condition stabilized and improved rapidly during this time, and thanks to Dong Xiaoqi’s sacrifice, Lin Zhen had been working hard on alchemy and finally had some money.

As long as Lin Zhen doesn’t let up, he can earn a few billion a day from his alchemy practice.

With money in hand, Lin Zhen’s cultivation was back on track.

In the imitation field of the Dimensional Arena, Lin Zhen could infinitely refresh his opponents.

Immediately after one battle had ended, Lin Zhen stumbled to the ground.

“Chris, how many matches have I lost now?”

“Master, you have participated in a total of four hundred and thirty battles, of which you won seven, lost four hundred and twenty-two, and had a draw in one.”

“In the seven matches that I won, what were my opponents like?”

“According to your request, each martial artist was a Holy Land Warrior, in the Longevity Realm, and possessed a Divine Body. The system randomly assigned you warriors from the Four Great Sacred Lands. In your seven winning matches, one was against Twin Trees Garden, and you won twice against each of the remaining sacred lands.”

“And in the seven victories, the opponents all possessed Primary Divine Bodies, were in the early stages of Longevity, had Star Power lower than yours, and the Spiritual Mind Master level was also below yours. Under these circumstances, your winning rate was quite high.”

“When the difference in Star Power is relatively small, your chances of winning are about one percent.”

Lin Zhen nodded, “Yes, I noticed that when the Star Power was close, the opponent’s martial arts skills were clearly above mine. My Star Fall Five Skill and Taiyuan Sword Skill seemed to lack power. Unless I use Black Hole Devour or Destructive God Thunder, victory is difficult.”

“Master, the martial arts skills you’ve learned, such as Taiyuan Sword Skill, are derived from Holy Land martial arts. The others can do what you can do, and when fighting against Holy Land warriors, you naturally tend to lose more often. I think if you don’t choose Holy Land warriors, you’ll have few opponents.”

But Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, “No, the competition for selection will start soon, and I have a bad feeling that someone will interfere.”

“I have to improve my strength as soon as possible and be fully prepared, but it seems that the usual methods won’t suffice.”

Raising his hand, three Destructive God Thunders danced in his palm. Lin Zhen spoke to Chris, “Let’s do it again! This time, I want to win them all!”
