I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 251 - 14: The Demon Sect Wants to Bid for the Golden Yuan Pill? Drop Dead! (2)
Just as he stepped out of the venue, the keen Divine Sense made Lin Chen feel something was amiss.
Looking back, he faced the unfamiliar cultivator who had won the Golden Yuan Pill in the auction.
"It’s him..."
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, turned around, and left the auction venue.
Lin Chen didn’t hurry to leave Guangyuan Town; instead, he stayed in an inn for three days.
During this time, Lin Chen secretly observed and saw many factions and cultivators leaving Guangyuan Town one after another.
Yet the cultivator who acquired the Golden Yuan Pill was nowhere to be seen leaving.
"It seems this guy’s identity is rather questionable..."
"I must see who you people really are."
Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, transformed into an Escape Light, and left Guangyuan Town, flying northward.
After flying over a hundred miles, Lin Chen felt someone persistently trailing him from a distance.
But the gap was several miles wide, staying at the border of Lin Chen’s Divine Sense, only able to feel it vaguely.
"Knowing I’m a Core Formation Cultivator and still daring to follow... seems they’re well prepared!"
Lin Chen thought to himself silently, then sped up, continuing toward the north.
After flying for several two-hour periods.
Lin Chen had already left the Yanlai Realm range, now hovering over an unnamed barren mountain.
At this moment, several auras behind him suddenly accelerated, rapidly closing in on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen pretended to be unaware, but inside, he was cautiously alert, ready at any moment to summon Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
A moment later, Lin Chen received a voice transmission.
"Master Five Thunders, please stop for a word."
Behind him, three cultivators rapidly approached Lin Chen, finally stopping ten meters away.
Lin Chen squinted, sensing the auras of these three.
"Three Fake Pill cultivators... quite a move."
Lin Chen sighed silently, then asked in a deep voice:
"Here in this desolate place, the three of you intercepting me seems to have ill intentions."
The leading Fake Pill cultivator was the one who acquired the Golden Yuan Pill earlier.
He chuckled, his laughter raspy and piercing.
"Heh heh, Master Five Thunders, you overthink it."
"We mean no harm; we’re just interested in what you possess, and ask you to discuss with us. We’re open to negotiating the price..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen let out a cold laugh and shouted:
"Concealed folks like you want to trade with me?"
"If it’s a trade, why not introduce yourselves first... otherwise, there’s no sincerity at all!"
Lin Chen observed the three’s movements while probing to identify their origins.
The unfamiliar cultivator was silent for a moment, then said:
"I am an Elder of the Wild Wolf Sect, and it’s under Sect Leader Ling Xuzi’s order that we ask you for a transaction."
"Rest assured, the Golden Yuan Pill’s price is negotiable..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"But you’ve been trading with the Righteous Alliance all this time and ignoring us; it’s really disheartening!"
Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Although he had some guesses about their identities, hearing they were indeed from the Demon Sect still startled him.
"Heh, and what if I don’t want to?" Lin Chen’s attitude was firm, but he was ready to summon the Martial Arts Puppet at any moment.
Just as Lin Chen’s voice fell, he abruptly sensed an aura quickly approaching.
Simultaneously, a voice came.
"If the Master is unwilling, we can only invite you to the Purple Smoke Country for a talk."
As the voice fell, an Escape Light flew from the north, landing behind Lin Chen in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen frowned slightly, asking:
"Who might you be?"
This person was burly, with hair dangling behind, draped in a fur coat made from some unknown animal.
At the same time, his half-exposed chest lent to a rather eccentric appearance.
"No need to worry, I am Ling Xuzi. We request that you come with us to the Purple Smoke Country."
Ling Xuzi’s voice was loud like thunder, his eye corners slanted upwards.
"This person, it’s Ling Xuzi..."
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, sensing this person’s aura was not ordinary.
That aura was likely more than just a newly formed Golden Core.
It was probably a Third Turn Golden Core, or even a mid-period Golden Core cultivator!
Facing an encirclement of three Fake Pills plus a Core Formation cultivator, Lin Chen showed no sign of fear.
He remained calm, swept his gaze over the group, and coldly declared:
"If I don’t wish to go to the Purple Smoke Country with you all, then what?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi chuckled lightly, saying:
"Heh, could it be you’re also one of those Righteous Alliance hypocrites, a mundane person?"
"Otherwise, why trade only with the Righteous Alliance and not with us?"
After a pause, Ling Xuzi continued:
"We cultivators gain all our cultivation from the world, striving against it."
"Our actions should follow our hearts, unrestrained; this is the way of nature!"
"Yet those hypocrites divide us into orthodox and demonic... labeling us as Demon Sect, how laughable?"
"You should ask those who call themselves righteous, how much more do they value mortals than mere grass?"
Ling Xuzi’s words sounded righteous and powerful.
Lin Chen inwardly sneered at this.
Indeed, both the Orthodox and Demonic Parties scorned mortals.
But treating mortals like grass and the disregard for human life are fundamentally different.
So, Lin Chen retorted:
"You don’t need to waste your breath. Though I’m not a righteous cultivator, I can’t sell you the Golden Yuan Pill, nor can I start such a so-called collaboration..."
"Please, return from whence you came!"
Hearing this, Ling Xuzi widened his eyes, maliciously grinning:
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
"Even the heavens declare that the Demon Sect will rise, and the Righteous path will fall!"
"It seems your Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect doesn’t know its place either!"
"Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being impolite!"
Saying so, Ling Xuzi gave a gesture, and the four Core Formation cultivators simultaneously advanced toward Lin Chen.
"Heh, if you want to fight then let’s fight; why so much nonsense?"
Lin Chen’s refusal was firm, and then with a wave of his hand.
Long Ba and Feng Jiu, two Martial Arts Puppets, appeared by his side.
Seeing these two Martial Arts Puppets, Ling Xuzi’s pupils contracted sharply.
"You were the one fighting Ghost Eye back then!"
The four Core Formation cultivators showed apprehension upon seeing Lin Chen’s two puppets.
But Lin Chen wasted no time, directly commanding Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
The two puppets did not hesitate and charged toward the three Core Formation cultivators.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen activated his Protective True Essence and charged straight at Ling Xuzi!
Ling Xuzi did not dare to neglect, also raising his Protective True Essence, colliding with Lin Chen.
BOOM!
The two Protective True Essences clashed fiercely in the air.
Instantly, gales erupted across the air, with booming sounds echoing intermittently.
After the True Essence clash, Lin Chen stood his ground, his steps steady.
Ling Xuzi was seen retreating several steps, being directly knocked back.
In just the first exchange, Ling Xuzi’s eyes were filled with shock.
"This True Essence... you’re a Late Period Core Formation cultivator!"
Ling Xuzi’s eyes widened in shock, not daring to continue the battle, he quickly said:
"Let’s split and run!"
Saying so, Ling Xuzi turned into a silver light, escaping northward.
The Demon Sect had expended much effort trying to capture Lin Chen.
Dispatching three Fake Pill cultivators and a mid-period Core Formation!
Such an array left almost no escape for anyone below Late Period Core Formation.
After all, Late Period Core Formation cultivators are rare, each renowned throughout Qing State.
The Demon Sect hadn’t expected that Lin Chen, a pill seller, would be of the ’Late Period Core Formation’.
Of course, in the Yanlai Realm, some distance from the Demon Sect’s main base.
Sending three Fake Pills and several mid-period Golden Cores was already a large move for them.
To secretly bring more Core Formation cultivators was nearly impossible...
Lin Chen commanded Long Ba and Feng Jiu not to let the three Fake Pill cultivators escape.
With two puppets comparable to mid-period Core Formation, Lin Chen was confident in defeating three Fake Pills.
As for himself, he pursued Ling Xuzi.
"Ling Xuzi’s tunneling speed is not weak..."
Lin Chen pursued for a while, but remained at a distance, unable to close in.
Though his True Essence compared to Late Period Core Formation, he was only a Second Turn Golden Core.
"It seems I’ll need to find a way to learn a tunneling speed divine technique later."
