Thump, thump, thump…
The convoy continued to move forward, led by the carriage.
Gong Wei, Yuan Fang, Luo Lie, and others all looked at the calm Lin Sheng with complex expressions.
Although there were many casualties in the attack just now, fortunately, they had brought many people this time, which did not affect the speed of the convoy.
“So, the organization in Northern Yan is having a very hard time?”
Lin Sheng frowned and said after learning about the current situation in Northern Yan from a few people.
“Naturally, it’s not like before. Now the organization is constantly clashing with the Northern Yan Grandmasters led by Long Mo Xiahou Qi, but most of the members have completely hidden themselves, or they have already entered Southern Qi with us.”
“Without worries, Master and the organization’s Dark Star Envoys are even more unconcerned. As long as they don’t have a direct conflict with Xiahou Qi and the others, there will basically be no problems.”
Luo Lie quickly explained at this time.
“Also, Brother Lin, your family members have all been properly arranged by Master. Don’t worry, there will definitely be no problems.”
“That’s good.”
Lin Sheng nodded, feeling much more relaxed.
With Luo Yin’s arrangements, Lin Hong and Xie Guilan should be fine.
As for Divine Lord, Luo Yin, and others, as Masters among Grandmasters, if they were determined to escape, it is likely that no one could stop them except a Supreme Grandmaster.
Especially for his cheap Master, he always had a feeling that his strength was definitely not as simple as an ordinary Three Realms Grandmaster.
From the words of the Military God of Southern Qi, he could also feel his undisguised admiration for Green Robe Divine Lord.
Valued by a Supreme Grandmaster, his Master’s strength must be incomparable to the likes of Tianluo Sect Leader Rashid.
If it weren't for a problem in his cultivation, his strength might have been even greater.
“Brother Lin, your strength…”
At this moment, Yuan Fang, who was beside him, couldn’t help but ask.
He was also extremely shocked to learn that the several powerful Northern Yan Martial Artists who attacked them had all been killed by Lin Sheng.
He had dealt with Lin Sheng several times before. When they met last time, although he could see that his strength was extraordinary and his talent was outstanding, he still didn't expect him to have reached such a level.
Especially after discovering that he had already reached the Peak of Bones Transformation, he was even more surprised.
If he remembered correctly, he remembered that when they met in Fulong City, the other party’s cultivation had only just entered Bones Transformation.
How long had it been since they last met? His cultivation had increased so much, it was like a lifetime ago, like a dream.
He couldn't help but recall the terrifying records left by Divine Lord in the organization.
The current Lin Sheng seemed to have some similarities with Divine Lord’s deeds back then.
But one must know that Divine Lord had to restart his cultivation back then. Although his cultivation was gone, his experience and physique were still there, so the difficulty of cultivation was naturally much lower than that of Lin Sheng, who truly cultivated diligently.
“It was just an Opportunity by chance.”
Lin Sheng said lightly.
He didn't explain much. His strength had indeed improved too quickly, especially his Realm.
Even for Geniuses like Yuan Fang and Luo Lie, it was unimaginable.
There was no need to explain such things, and it would be the same in the future anyway.
Now his combat power was already no less than that of a Two Realms Grandmaster-level expert.
In this world, he could be considered a high-level combatant with enough self-preservation ability. There was no need to hide his strength and be as cautious as before in everything he did.
“I will send you to Bai Lu City. The military will send special personnel to receive these Crimson Crystal Mines. As for later, Bai Can and others will take you to Dongzhou.”
“When you arrive in Dongzhou, the military will have special ships to cooperate, and Bai Can and Shui Zhi will take you to the Misty Island.”
Before coming, Lin Sheng had already arranged the follow-up matters.
Naturally, he couldn't put all his energy into these trivial matters.
In Nanzhao Imperial City, there was still the Yao Beast flesh and blood he needed, as well as the matter he promised Lingyu Princess. After dealing with the matters here, he would naturally go to Nanzhao Imperial City first.
“Okay.”
Upon hearing Lin Sheng’s words, Luo Lie and the others responded.
Their true purpose of this trip, besides transporting red crystal stones, was to go to the Misty Island.
In addition to their group, several other teams would also go to Dongzhou. After they all gathered, they would carry out corresponding development and deployment on the Misty Island.
After chatting with a few people for a few more sentences, Lin Sheng had no intention of speaking further and prepared to find an empty carriage to rest.
At the speed of the convoy, it would take at least five or six days to reach Bai Lu City. This period of time was just right to completely refine the essence blood of the Red Fire Bull.
Soon, Luo Lie arranged a carriage for Lin Sheng.
The carriage was quite spacious, and the interior layout showed considerable care.
Lin Sheng sat cross-legged within it and immediately prepared to simulate the Vatican Red Fire Bull.
In the carriage ahead, Luo Lie and the others were all somewhat silent.
“I didn’t expect that this esteemed disciple of Divine Lord would have reached such a level of strength. It seems I was a frog in a well before.”
Luo Lie grinned helplessly.
Originally, he still harbored the idea of fighting Lin Sheng, but ever since he witnessed Lin Sheng’s actions, that thought was immediately extinguished.
No other reason, the gap was simply too great.
Being able to easily kill the bald big man whose strength was even above his own, then he could undoubtedly kill himself even more easily.
Besides Luo Lie, Gong Wei’s face was even more filled with a sense of defeat.
Just now, he didn't even dare to look at the other party.
Thinking of his actions in Fulong City before, his heart was filled with lingering fear.
The convoy continued forward.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
They had completely driven out of the valley.
Luo Lie and the others had already circulated their Qi to regulate their breathing and recover from their injuries.
Lin Sheng swallowed a Red Fire Bull blood bead and performed his innate mimicry.
However, before refining it with the Heavenly Serpent Bone Exchange Secret Method, Lin Sheng, as usual, amplified his senses to check the surroundings.
After a while, he had surveyed the situation within a radius of more than ten li.
After confirming that there was no further danger, he planned to calm down and begin refining the blood bead.
Suddenly, he sniffed his nose, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, but the doubt quickly faded, replaced by slightly raised eyebrows as he looked behind him, as if he could see the scene behind him through the carriage window.
The next moment, his figure had already vanished from the carriage.
“Since Your Excellency has come, how long do you intend to follow?”
Lin Sheng’s somewhat low and hoarse voice rang out. The voice was not loud but extremely penetrating, scattering into the surrounding mountains and forests.
“What happened!?”
As Lin Sheng’s voice fell, the speed of the convoy immediately slowed down, and everyone showed vigilance.
Luo Lie and Yuan Fang, among others, no longer cared about regulating their injuries and quickly rushed out of the carriage to Lin Sheng’s side.
Their gazes constantly swept across the surrounding mountains and forests.
However, no matter how much they concentrated their vision and carefully observed, they found nothing special.
They immediately looked at Lin Sheng with some confusion.
“Brother Lin, have you discovered something?”
Lin Sheng nodded, then his eyes instantly turned golden.
Roar—
Immediately after, a muffled Dragon roar echoed from within the mountains and forests.
Although it wasn’t directed at the people in the convoy, everyone, including Luo Lie and the others, experienced a momentary daze.
“I found you!”
Lin Sheng grabbed a nearby rock and shot it out.
The immense force created a series of Qi explosions, heading straight for the mountain forest on one side.
The rock, carrying Giant Strength, instantly pulverized the vegetation and tree canopy in its path.
But the next moment, the rock instantly disintegrated.
A series of ripples appeared in mid-air, and a red-clad figure suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight, as if strolling leisurely.
“Tsk tsk… I didn’t expect a kid who hasn’t even stepped into the Divine Form to be able to see through my tracks. How interesting.”
The red-clad figure’s voice was unusually effeminate, his face as pale as paper, and his features were also effeminate, giving people a strange sensation of being unable to distinguish between male and female.
His gaze fell on Lin Sheng, his face full of intrigued expression.
“You must be Lin Sheng. I didn't expect you to be quite good-looking. Such powerful Qi and blood energy, it's truly rare.”
As he spoke, he curled his lips, sticking out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
He had been quite surprised when he saw Lin Sheng kill those Northern Yan Martial Artists earlier, and now that he could even detect his presence, it made him even more curious.
One must know that although his combat power among Grandmasters was not outstanding, in terms of stealth abilities, he was not comparable to ordinary Grandmasters.
Even a Three Realms Grandmaster might not be able to detect him.
Of course, Lin Sheng didn't actually truly detect his presence. He only smelled a strange fragrance when he was investigating earlier.
This fragrance was extremely faint, so faint that even ordinary Spirit Beasts would find it difficult to detect. However, due to the presence of various high-perception anomalous beasts like Big Yellow in his body.
Among all his senses, his sense of smell was basically the most acute.
And this fragrance obviously did not come from the convoy.
Moreover, the faint fragrance persisted even after the convoy had driven out of the valley.
So Lin Sheng had just guessed that there was a hidden Master lurking in the dark.
Using his Dragon’s Might talent to envelop the surroundings, he finally caused the opponent to reveal a slight flaw.
Looking at the red-clad figure, Lin Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Clearly, this red-clad figure was a Grandmaster-level expert.
But his cultivation did not seem to be very high, slightly stronger than Lu Qing, and on par with the old man in green beside Moyunzi.
“Hong Yao Liu Yu!! You are Hong Yao Liu Yu!!”
At this moment, Yi Ye Qing, who was beside Lin Sheng, seemed to recognize the identity of the red-clad figure, and his face immediately turned ugly as he couldn't help but exclaim.
“Hong Yao Liu Yu, one of the Vice Pavilion Masters of Tianhong Pavilion, a Grandmaster-level expert!!”
Luo Lie and Yuan Fang and the others also suddenly woke up at this moment, looking at the red-clad figure in mid-air with shock and disbelief.
“How is that possible!? Isn’t Hong Yao Liu Yu always in the Grand Capital? How could he appear here??”
Luo Lie clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
He said it out loud, but in his heart, he already understood.
It was likely that the other party had been following them ever since they rushed out of Yanguan, all the way to this place.
Thinking of this, both Luo Lie and the others felt a chill in their hearts.
Along the way, they hadn't noticed at all that a Grandmaster expert, who could take their lives at any moment, was following behind them.
If the other party had followed them all the way to Dongzhou and met up with the other teams, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I was going to wait until the little mice gathered before making a move, but I didn’t expect an anomaly like you to appear. Fine, since I’ve been discovered, it’s fine to act early.”
Liu Yu showed a mocking smile on the faces of the panicking crowd below.
He had been quite bored following these people all the way. As for the Northern Yan Martial Artists who attacked in the valley earlier, he was the one who sent word and arranged it.
The purpose was to kill most of the useless ones, and let a few strong ones go to seek help from other little mice, so that they could be caught in one swoop as soon as possible.
To avoid further delay.
As he spoke, he twirled a strand of hair, but his gaze paused when it fell on Lin Sheng’s face.
Because unlike the others, Lin Sheng’s face at this moment showed no panic, still as calm as before, without the slightest fluctuation.
This scene made him feel somewhat surprised, and at the same time, made him even more curious about this young man.
“Hehe, playing mind games, are we…?”
“Did only one Grandmaster come?”
Lin Sheng’s golden eyes looked at the red-clad figure in mid-air and slowly asked.
“Tsk tsk… What’s wrong, kid? Do you think this venerable one alone isn’t enough? You’re truly an ignorant brat, but this venerable one likes it…”
Liu Yu’s gaze fell on Lin Sheng, feeling more and more that he seemed quite different from the Geniuses he had seen before. He once again stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.
“If you can satisfy me later, perhaps this venerable one can…”
His words stopped abruptly, because Lin Sheng below had already shot towards him like a cannonball, at an extremely fast speed, almost reaching the level of a Grandmaster.
“What!?”
The sudden outburst filled his eyes with surprise, but he was, after all, a Grandmaster expert with rich combat experience. His eyes narrowed. Although he didn't think a kid who hadn't entered the Divine Form could truly pose any threat to him, he still pulled back and retreated.
At the same time, he struck out with a palm, and a crimson Qi energy, like a spider web, enveloped the opponent.
His Silk-winding force was best at binding and restraining enemies, especially for Martial Artists below the Grandmaster Realm. He could basically control them with a raise of his hand, as easy as turning over his palm.
“Seeking death!”
Liu Yu looked at Lin Sheng, who showed no intention of dodging, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
However, the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
In his line of sight, that tall figure rapidly expanded as if inflated, transforming into a massive giant over 6 meters tall in the blink of an eye.
His entangling silk force, in its hands, truly seemed like fragile spider silk, torn apart with a raise of its hand, and it charged towards him with undiminished momentum.
The terrifying Qi emanating from the massive giant, like a god or demon, actually made him feel a chilling terror in his heart.
“This… How is this possible!?”
Liu Yu’s face was filled with disbelief.
Although it was hard to believe, he also understood that this child’s strength might indeed be able to threaten him.
Surprised in his heart, his hand movements were extremely fast. He quickly formed hand seals, and a large amount of crimson Qi surged out, forming a giant crimson spider phantom.
Zzz—
Just then, a strange sound entered his ears.
Instantly, Liu Yu only felt a blur before his eyes, and his eyes momentarily lost focus.
Although the threat of death made him quickly break free, it was already too late.
A crimson-green large hand rapidly expanded in his vision, directly gripping his neck.
“The stench on you truly sickens me…”
The golden eyes indifferently fell on Liu Yu’s face.
The latter only felt the threat of death surging wildly.
Sharp crimson hairs immediately sprouted all over his body.
Crack!
Unfortunately, with a crisp snap.
Liu Yu’s slender figure had already transformed into a sky full of blood rain.
