120: Did you see us?
Poison Domain Swamp.
Xia Shirou had just finished Foundation Establishment and was excitedly showing off her Dao foundation and strengthened physique to Jiang Lin.
Under Jiang Lin's repeated urging, Xia Shirou obediently entered a state of meditation to stabilize her Cultivation.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin lowered his head, looking at the talisman in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Are you trying to pressure me with a special mission?"
"I didn't plan on keeping this secret realm stone for myself; I still need Dao Heaven Sect to help me open the Secret Realm!"
"The Jiang Family's current hidden resources are for cultivating an army; there aren't enough resources to activate and maintain such a large Secret Realm!"
"If the Secret Realm is truly good, I'll just have my second sister snatch it back for me!"
"Second sister shouldn't refuse now..."
"If worse comes to worst, a Dao Mang's life will do. A cheap master should be used when needed, otherwise why keep him?"
"However, Your Highness, since you've taken the great secret realm stone I painstakingly acquired, it's not too much for me to ask for a Small World, right?"
As he spoke, Jiang Lin looked up towards the extreme south, a naive and innocent smile appearing on his lips.
"Xu Zhaozhao, deduce the location of the Enlightenment Secret Realm!"
That's right, it was the Sima Family's apology to the Emperor!
That thing was a spatial treasure; it couldn't use a teleportation array!
Jiang Lin intended to take that Secret Realm!
What?
You say robbing tribute is bad?
Does Long Zhiyang even know about this thing?
Even if he did, it's the Sima Family's property now!
Besides, can a Cultivator's actions be described as robbery?
That's called encountering an immortal 緣!
Xu Zhaozhao, who had been staring blankly at Jiang Lin, was startled and blurted out:
"Enlightenment Secret Realm, the fourth-ranked Secret Realm among the Ten Great Strange Secret Realms?"
"It is said to increase the intelligence of Cultivators and Yao Beasts!"
Jiang Lin pinched her chubby little face and chuckled, "Isn't it because I see you're a bit silly, so I want to help you grow some brains!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao immediately jumped up, huffing, "Zhaozhao isn't silly, you're the silly one!"
"Deduction requires a key item, or specific detailed information!"
"I think you're the silliest person in the world!"
While feeling the soft touch of Xu Zhaozhao's face, Jiang Lin teased, "The key item is wisdom!"
After speaking, Jiang Lin slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something: "I forgot, you don't have that!"
Then, he feigned a sigh, "Forget it, I'll still tell you some detailed information!"
"The Enlightenment Secret Realm is currently being transported from the extreme south to the capital!"
"Departure time is two to three days!"
Xu Zhaozhao's eyes were full of fury, as if she could pounce and bite Jiang Lin at any moment.
But she still tried her best to calm down.
She knew she definitely couldn't win an argument with the person in front of her!
In the end, she would only be the one to suffer!
Immediately, a tortoise shell shadow appeared before her.
The next moment, characters like Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches floated in the air.
Suddenly, she remembered the first formation of the Mystic Gate Evasion Art she had just learned, 'Breaking Fog to Find Traces'!
With a thought, a faint shadow appeared on the tortoise shell.
It was the shadow of three people traveling!
Jiang Lin was stunned. It appeared already?
Originally, Jiang Lin thought the information was too vague and it would take some time.
He didn't expect it to be found in just this short moment!
Does it have to be this Heaven-Defying?
Isn't Xu Zhaozhao's Mystic Gate Evasion Art said to be only an incomplete Cultivation Technique?
It has this much power?
No wonder those who practice Heterodox Sect often end up missing an arm or a leg!
This is too Heaven-Defying!
He needed to complete the 'Divine Beast Toyer' mission early to obtain the Covering Heavens Art; deducing this thing was too disgusting!
On the other side, Xu Zhaozhao also didn't expect this Cultivation Technique to be so Heaven-Defying!
After sensing the specific location, she looked up and said with extreme arrogance:
"It's near Nanling!"
"Bad guy, don't even think about it, it's over seventy thousand kilometers from here!"
"Even if you have a teleportation array, you can't get there; there's also a Void Refining Peak there..."
Before Xu Zhaozhao could finish speaking,
The red crimson wave enveloped her.
The next moment, her vision was like a kaleidoscope, and she arrived in an unfamiliar environment.
"Where is this...?"
Suddenly, she saw three figures in black in front of her.
"???"
"Nan... Nanling?"
"You're... joking, right!"
She subconsciously swallowed, then looked at the composed Jiang Lin beside her.
Jiang Lin lightly flicked her nose and chuckled, "Silly girl, why are you spacing out? Activate your Bloodline to conceal our aura!"
"If we get found out, I'll sell you to atone for the crime!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly activated the Bloodline Power of the Mystic Gate Evasion Art turtle.
Just then, the leader in black said, "Sirs, why have you stopped us...?"
Jiang Lin waved his hand, "It's nothing, you just do your business, just pretend you didn't see us!"
Upon hearing this, the leader's face turned green.
Damn it, blocking our essential path and telling us to pretend we didn't see you, are you fooling an idiot?
When has our Sima Family ever encountered such a situation when doing business?
But seeing the opponent's strange Divine Ability, he asked again:
"Little brother, what exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Lin suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You saw us?"
Before the leader could react, Jiang Lin turned his head and asked:
"Wuming, when we're doing bad things, what do we do if someone discovers us?"
Strange patterns appeared on Wuming's face, gradually forming a mask.
"Kill him!"
The voice was icy, like the sound of a soul reaper from Hell.
The Void Refining leader's face was filled with anger: "Playing tricks and..."
Before he finished speaking, a sudden purplish-black giant wave directly drowned out his voice.
"No!"
"It's... the Death Demon!"
Unfortunately, he knew the answer, but he had no way out.
The black giant wave disappeared, leaving only three skeletons on the ground.
And Wuming's complexion became even more rosy, as if he had consumed some great tonic.
Jiang Lin shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I told them to pretend they didn't see us, but they wouldn't listen, and now they don't even have a complete corpse!"
"How pitiful!"
Just then, Wuming stepped forward, took out a scroll, and handed it to Jiang Lin.
"Master, I never intended to leave them complete corpses anyway!"
Jiang Lin's expression stiffened, looking at Wuming, who was undermining him, his teeth suddenly itching.
On the other side,
Xu Zhaozhao was filled with horror, looking at the white bones, her legs trembling with fear.
"Jiang... Jiang Lin, killing people is bad!"
Jiang Lin turned his head, looking at Xu Zhaozhao, whose face had turned pale, and said innocently, "I didn't kill anyone!"
Xu Zhaozhao was speechless for a moment, then finally managed to blurt out a sentence.
"Allowing your subordinates to kill people is also wrong!"
After speaking, she nervously glanced at Wuming, then subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin waved his hand, and the crimson wave struck again, and everyone disappeared from the spot, returning to the Poison Domain Swamp.
"Alas, silly girl, those weren't people!"
Xu Zhaozhao exclaimed, "They were Yao Race?"
Jiang Lin shook his head.
Xu Zhaozhao then said, "Witch Race?"
Jiang Lin shook his head.
Xu Zhaozhao was full of questions, unsure, "Small World race?"
Jiang Lin shook his head again, and said word by word, "They were skeletons!"
Xu Zhaozhao froze for a few seconds, her brain failing to react.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Lin mysteriously leaned closer to her and whispered, "Have you heard of 'Three Beatings of the White Bone Demon'?"
Xu Zhaozhao shook her head blankly.
Jiang Lin nodded, "It would be strange if you had!"
"But, do you want to know?"
Jiang Lin's mysterious tone piqued Xu Zhaozhao's curiosity.
She hurriedly nodded, "Yes!"
A folding fan appeared in Jiang Lin's hand from nowhere.
With the fan open, he carried the just-waking Xia Shirou and walked towards the nearest city.
"If you want to know, then follow along!"
Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly chased after Jiang Lin and asked, "By the way, don't you have that crimson wave? Can't you just take us directly?"
Jiang Lin said grumpily, "It consumes a lot!"
Xu Zhaozhao asked curiously, "How much?"
Watching Jiang Lin walk further and further away, she only heard him say, "A trace!"
