“That’s it. How is it? Should I go get it?”
“No, look again next to the stone tablet.”
Hearing Stealing Heaven’s words, Ye Lin looked next to the stone tablet.
Next to the enormous stone tablet sat a middle-aged Cultivator. Ye Lin couldn’t discern the middle-aged Cultivator’s cultivation level, but as Ye Lin continued to stare at him, it was as if the middle-aged Cultivator possessed a terrifying magic that gradually captivated Ye Lin.
“Wake up.”
Suddenly, Stealing Heaven let out a cold shout, and instantly, Ye Lin jolted awake, his back breaking out in a cold sweat from fright.
What just happened to him?
“Don’t look. That’s a Combined Dao Stage True Lord. There are Dao rhymes around the True Lord. That kind of thing isn’t something you or I can look at. If you become immersed in the True Lord’s Dao rhyme, you will gradually lose yourself, no matter how powerful your Divine Soul is.”
“You almost got lost in it just now.”
Stealing Heaven explained to Ye Lin with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin was greatly shocked. Now, his understanding of the terror of a Combined Dao Stage True Lord had reached a new level.
So the He Dao Stage was truly terrifying, to the point where one couldn’t even look at it.
“The stone tablet you want is right next to the True Lord, but I can’t guarantee whether the True Lord will discover the two of us.”
Stealing Heaven said with a bit of a toothache. Since the two of them had managed to get this far, it meant his method was still useful.
However, stealing something right under the True Lord’s nose still put a lot of psychological pressure on him.
“Then what do we do now? We don’t have much time left.”
Ye Lin spoke. It had taken them a full ten to twenty minutes to sneak in here, and factoring in the time they would waste getting out, they didn’t have much time left.
After all, you still need to escape after getting the item, right?
Half an hour is one hour. Entering and exiting would take thirty to forty minutes, so they didn’t have much time to consider their options.
“I’m going all out, Ye Lin. You owe me a favor now.”
Stealing Heaven said through gritted teeth, then bit his middle finger, and a drop of golden blood appeared.
Stealing Heaven then placed his middle finger on Ye Lin’s forehead, and the golden blood was immediately smeared on Ye Lin’s forehead.
Immediately, Stealing Heaven quickly formed hand seals, and golden talismans were struck into Ye Lin’s body.
After several minutes, Stealing Heaven was drenched in sweat, completely exhausted, as if he had been hollowed out.
“Alright, I just used my limited Origin to give you two more layers of insurance. Go, get the item and run immediately. Don’t hesitate. The Combined Dao Stage True Lord won’t discover you.”
“Run back the way we came. I’m leaving first. Trust me.”
With that, Stealing Heaven turned and ran.
He was greatly depleted now, so his speed was very slow. Ye Lin was different; his speed was several times his.
Stealing the stone tablet right under the Combined Dao Stage True Lord’s nose would definitely be noticed, but Ye Lin’s figure wouldn’t be found.
So what he needed to do was run out of the Dragon Tiger Mountain range first.
Watching Stealing Heaven leave, Ye Lin swiftly rushed towards the mountaintop.
During the entire process, no one noticed anything. After reaching the mountaintop, Ye Lin immediately closed his eyes. The Dao rhyme around the middle-aged man sitting next to the stone tablet was too dense; one could easily fall into it.
After Ye Lin put the stone tablet into his space ring, he then sped off into the distance at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After Ye Lin left, the middle-aged Cultivator slowly opened his eyes, a strange smile appearing on his face as he looked into the distance.
Stealing something right under his nose?
