245: What kind of heroic behavior is this?

Han Lei subtly gritted his teeth.

“The fortune teller… is dead! It’s rumored that the shop caught fire, and he was crushed by a counter in the rush!”

He paused, a little agitated.

“How is that possible! He’s a Cultivator, after all. Putting out a fire is just a flick of a finger for him! Chen Tianming must be behind this!”

Lei Li sneered.

“Oh? Are you scared now?”

Han Lei tried to act tough.

“I… I just think Chen Tianming’s actions are brutal and cold-blooded, like a demon king!”

Lei Li didn’t refute him.

“He is a demon king… Quickly send the spirit stone treasures into the Secret Realm Cave Heaven. I need to borrow their power to break through. Once my realm ascends, a mere Chen Tianming, hmph hmph!”

Chen Tianming hid in the shadows.

He hadn’t expected Han Lei to get involved with Lei Li.

And these two children of destiny were actually secretly badmouthing him behind his back…

What kind of heroic behavior was this?

However, the more Han Lei and Lei Li cursed, the happier Chen Tianming became.

Because by infuriating the destiny protagonists, Chen Tianming’s Devil's Value would rapidly increase.

Now, as long as he successfully seized their Qi Luck, Chen Tianming could have another big system lottery draw!

Thinking this, Chen Tianming wasn’t in a hurry.

He waited patiently until Han Lei set off with the items.

The convoy and guards stretched as far as the eye could see, and Han Lei personally oversaw the escort.

Han Lei thought he had prepared a large number of men, and this escort would surely be foolproof.

But in reality, this was all intentionally done by Chen Tianming.

The guards in the convoy, plus Han Lei himself, were less than a single hair on a cow to the current Chen Tianming.

With a flick of his finger, Chen Tianming’s spiritual power could turn the entire convoy to dust.

Solving Han Lei was not difficult either.

The reason Chen Tianming hadn’t made a move, watching the convoy slowly drive from the Demon Capital towards the Southern Border, was to use Han Lei to draw out Lei Li!

Lei Li was a proud son of a major sect.

He was originally a Cultivator, and had also become a protagonist and a Qi Luck Child.

With such powerful opportunities, Lei Li should have been protecting the peace of a region.

But Chen Tianming could tell at a glance that Lei Li was not that kind of person.

A Qi Luck Child who would casually pull over a passerby, soul-sucking and taking lives, wantonly creating slaughter, just for information—it would be better if he died from this world!

But this scumbag was also a coward.

He hid in a Small World, which could be contained in an instant, hidden in a spiritual vein, or buried deep within a mountain gate, or drift with rivers.

Although Chen Tianming had left a trace of his aura on Lei Li, he could only accurately identify Lei Li’s location when Lei Li left the Small World and was slightly closer.

Chen Tianming was not without methods to explore the Small World, and he could do it.

But that would be too exhausting.

The entire Southern Border was incredibly vast; if Chen Tianming were to investigate it all, Lei Li would probably have already escaped by then.

This was why Chen Tianming didn’t bring anyone else this time.

He was afraid that if the commotion was too great, Lei Li, being a sly dog, would run away.

However, Chen Tianming was not without help.

His phone vibrated slightly, and Chen Tianming picked it up to look.

It was the latest message from Seventeen.

“Master! Lei Li has started to move!”

Chen Tianming’s lips curved upwards, and his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.

He quickly caught up with Han Lei’s convoy, simultaneously releasing his spiritual power. The powerful Qi Observation Technique began to sense the aura of the Qi Luck Child nearby.

Chen Tianming also began to search for the wisp of spiritual power he had left on Lei Li.

Finally, a familiar feeling appeared in Chen Tianming’s heart.

Han Lei also took out his phone.

“Brother Lei! How is it? Is this new device I gave you good? Thousand-mile sound transmission!”

The other party replied.

“Hmph! If you weren’t incapable of wielding the jade slip I gave you, would I even bother with your new-century magical treasures?”

The two briefly discussed and decided to conduct a transaction at the summit of the snowy mountain.

Han Lei’s expression was incredibly excited.

“Ancient Cultivator cultivation methods! For just a few spirit stone veins, and not even my own property, I can get them into my hands, hahahaha! Chen Tianming, this time I’ll make sure you die a terrible death!”

Han Lei continued to gloat inwardly, and the Devil's Value on Chen Tianming also began to increase continuously.

【Qi Luck Child’s anger value has risen, Host’s Devil's Value +100!】

【Qi Luck Child’s hatred for the villain has risen, Host’s Devil's Value +315!】

Chen Tianming even started to think about keeping these two cowards, just letting these two scumbags curse him behind his back.

He could gain a large amount of Devil's Value without even exerting any effort.

If Han Lei continued to curse like this, he would soon accumulate enough for a lottery draw!

High on the mountain, the convoy found it increasingly difficult to proceed.

Han Lei cursed his subordinates like animals.

“What are you good for? All you do is eat all day, are you dogs? Or pigs? Worse than pigs and dogs!”

“Hurry up and get moving! Why are you driving so slowly?”

Han Lei’s idiotic behavior truly refreshed Chen Tianming’s understanding.

On a snowy road, let alone driving, even flying a plane up the mountain would take some effort.

Some people in the convoy began to suffer from oxygen deprivation, crashing and exploding. Some fell into sleep due to low temperatures and froze to death in their sleep.

Some had their eyes pecked out by the vast white snow.

Others, unable to bear Han Lei’s insults, jumped off cliffs to their deaths.

The entire convoy went through a catastrophe and finally arrived at the summit of the snowy mountain.

Lei Li gracefully occupied the mountaintop, with a naturally formed ice and snow shrine above his head, cast from spiritual power, resembling a temple.

When Han Lei saw Lei Li, who had the air of a Daoist immortal and the demeanor of a grandmaster, he felt admiration, worship, and a sense of shared understanding.

The two met in the snow, but Han Lei clearly appeared more obsequious.

“Bro… brother… the transaction is finally happening… The scenery here is truly beautiful, it’s just… too… Achoo! It’s damn cold!”

Lei Li casually waved his hand, and the ice and snow shrine he had cast collapsed with a roar. He walked towards the convoy without looking back, searching for the aura of the spirit stones.

Han Lei continued to follow behind him, obsequiously.

Lei Li saw him trembling, which affected his image, so he released a portion of his spiritual power to surround Han Lei, alleviating the cold.

At this, Han Lei began to show off, swaggering and flaunting to his subordinates, and also imitating Lei Li’s carefree demeanor.

But his subordinates hated him to death.

Countless people had died on the way up, yet their boss was still trying to act cool.

“You two are being cool, but my girlfriend came with me to escort the supplies and froze to death!”

At this moment, Lei Li finally saw the dark-attributed spirit stone, and his eyes immediately shone brightly.

His hand formed a claw, and the spirit stone flew out of its storage box, landing directly on Lei Li and hovering in his palm.

Lei Li couldn’t help but laugh up at the sky.

“Hahahahaha! It’s finally mine!”

Han Lei quickly stepped forward to curry favor.

“Big brother! Is the quality good? If you give me more time, I can dig out another spirit stone like this for you!”

“However, that Chen Tianming is chasing too closely now. He even killed that fortune teller, and I’m probably next. Can you teach me a life-saving cultivation method so I can go back and continue digging spirit stones for you?”
