Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2548 You're not worthy!
The True Venerable Lin He possesses means to prevent spatial traps.

He wasn't worried about that, believing that the other side's current strategy was to try to pinpoint his location while simultaneously creating panic.

However, it is certain that the other party is not very far away.

"Then let's escape in another direction," Lin He calmly made the decision. He could analyze the other party's motives, but he couldn't engage in battle.

He was fairly confident in his abilities, but since the other side dared to ambush him, they must have been confident in their ability to capture him.

As he turned, he simultaneously performed divinations on several True Venerable friends, thus transmitting the information about the danger he was in.

If he can hold out for a little while, he might receive reinforcements from his side.

To his dismay, the other party's divination did not stop; they remained fixated on him, their malice blatantly obvious.

At this point, one can choose to reverse the calculation of the opponent.

The causal entanglement between the two parties was too strong, and he could at least basically determine who was targeting him.

But in fact, this is definitely not a good choice.

Any cultivator with a bit of experience knows that the worst thing to do in battle is to have too many thoughts.

For Lin He Zhenzun now, the best course of action is to focus on escaping.

Otherwise, not to mention, what if the other party has counter-divination methods?
Driven by curiosity, he calculated that if he encountered a powerful backlash, it would greatly increase the difficulty of his escape.

He had considered things quite thoroughly and was undeniably cautious, yet the next moment, his heart sank.

Immediately afterwards, his body tilted to the side and he was thrown out of the sub-level space.

A long black blade came slashing towards them with unusual ferocity.

"It really is you!" Lin He Zhenzun sighed softly. This person was able to precisely break through space; he was truly remarkable.

In that instant, he had already crushed a talisman, and then summoned a large seal to meet the black longsword.

The next moment, he asked leisurely, "Why is there no sign of time?"

"You think you're worthy?" A cold snort rang out, followed by a soft shout, "Activate the formation!"

The next moment, Lin Hezhenzun's body stiffened, feeling that his whole body was obviously restricted, and his movements were greatly slowed down.

"This is impossible!" His brow furrowed slightly. Wenxian was clearly not involved in this matter, so how could the other party have such a powerful formation?

But what surprised him even more was the owner of that voice, "Hehe, there's also Han Li?"

"I'd really like to see your chilling aura, but it seems you're not going to give me that chance?"

"He's pretty stubborn," Han Li said calmly. "He's not even begging for mercy. This kind of person should be tortured properly."

“It’s not impossible,” Qu Jianlei appeared, “How about capturing him alive?”

"Then let's capture him alive," Han Li nodded slightly, "As long as no one tracks us down."

“That’s impossible,” Qu Jianlei replied confidently, “but the fact that someone is investigating… well, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

"Fishing?" Han Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's a good idea. Let's catch them alive!"

This is... this is outrageous! Lin He really can't take it anymore.

As he manipulated the seal to block the longsword, a yellow light shot out from between his brows, heading towards Qu Jianlei. "If you have the guts, kill me!"

Han Li shook his head, then sighed, "Forcing me to use my domain is really exhausting!"

The next moment, the extremely cold field froze Linhe in mid-air.

The smaller the field, the stronger the effect. Qu Zhenzun had already trapped Lin He with the formation, so it wouldn't be difficult for Han Li to freeze him.

Lin He also released his own domain, attempting to break free from the opponent.

Unfortunately, the amulet he used to resist the power of time failed due to his violent struggle.

That's the downside of fighting multiple opponents. Not only can two fists not beat four hands, but some countermeasures can also cancel each other out.

Qu Jianlei dodged the yellow light with a swift movement, and with a thought, he raised his hand to calculate—the opponent's defense had indeed failed.

The next moment, he slowly opened his left eye.

Time not only ages people, but also affects all combat training and habits in the face of drastic acceleration of time.

Under these two attacks, Lin He was finally frozen solid. Han Li skillfully placed a restriction on him and sealed him.

He hadn't used his cold aura field before, not because he was worried that the opponent would be able to resist it, but mainly because he was concerned that it would be troublesome to eliminate the related aura.

However, Qu Jianlei said that he could handle this task—Liqi was exceptionally skilled at making such things.

The key point is that during the battle, the two of them suddenly changed their minds and decided to capture each other alive.

If anyone were watching, they would at least exclaim: Could you two be any more childish?

However, capturing the other party alive was not because they were playing around, but because not killing Lin He would lead to more misjudgments by their opponents.

If Lin He hadn't been so quick to speak, the two of them would have chosen to kill him outright, since capturing him alive carries a certain risk.

But since he acted so tough, and the two of them got angry, what's wrong with capturing you alive, torturing you, and then executing you?
Of course, choosing to capture them alive not only increases the difficulty of the battle, but also makes imprisonment more difficult.

Setting restrictions and seals is not difficult; the biggest challenge is completely concealing the opponent's aura.

As long as Baiyou Business Alliance isn't too unprofessional, it should retain some of Linhe's aura.

Even if Qu Jianlei concealed the secrets of heaven, if they wanted to rescue him, the living Lin He would still be subject to the causal chain.

In any case, Han Li didn't consider what he should do to conceal the causal chain.

After sealing the person away, he simply tossed him to Qu Jianlei, saying, "It's yours now!"

With a thought, Qu Jianlei took the person into his cave. "Don't worry, he can't cause any trouble."

"Enough talk," Han Li said, watching the giant axe sweep up the battlefield before starting to clean up himself. "Let's get to the next one as soon as possible."

Qu Jianlei was taken aback upon hearing this, "Aren't we waiting for True Venerable Xiwu?"

"What are we waiting for her for?" Han Li answered without hesitation, "We can't fight her, and she's especially... Oh, she's here?"

True Venerable Xiwu stepped out of the spatial rift, a cold smile playing on her beautiful face. "What's so special about it?"

"And he's especially enthusiastic," Han Li replied seriously. "We're enemies of the Hundred Friends Alliance, and you have other things to do, don't you?"

Xi Wu Zhenzun didn't answer his question, but instead looked at Qu Jianlei, "Want to go together?"

Qu Jianlei spread his hands, glanced at Han Li, and his meaning was clear: Ask him.

In the end, the three of them headed together towards the Zhanmeng No. 3 plate, a small plate nearby that was the dwelling place of the Youyang True Venerable.

At this moment, Youyang had received a warning from Linhe and was a little confused: Why is this guy divining about me?
True beings are interconnected, and as long as they are within the same world, they can at least sense each other through divination.

However, divination can only convey very limited information, almost like a cell phone ringing once, which is enough to let you know who is looking for you.

At this time, contacting each other in this way must mean there is something important, which is probably related to the current situation.

But what exactly happened? He wasn't sure, and he didn't dare to head straight there.

If they're besieging Lin He Zhenzun over there, wouldn't he just be delivering himself to the enemy if he ran over there?
But if we send more people over there, and all they want to do is transmit some intelligence, wouldn't that be a waste of manpower and resources?
The atmosphere is already tense enough; we really can't add any more pressure to everyone.

The merchant alliance's combat resources cannot withstand such depletion—this could very well play into the enemy's hands.

Ultimately, the two were too far apart to convey much precise information.

So his response was standard, and he also considered the other party's intentions: "Received. If you have any problems, please contact me."

In contrast to Youyang's caution, the three True Venerables of the Myriad Realms mobilized without hesitation after receiving the divination information.

They even left only a few people to guard the temporary camp behind them.

The two sides have different sources of confidence. One side is bound by a business alliance, while the other side is a True Venerable of the Myriad Realms.

The Merchant Alliance has offended Qu Zhenzun, but the problem of Wanwu does not exist.

Even if Qu Jianlei wasn't the one who caused the change, and the True Venerable of the Myriad Realms mobilized to rescue, there would still be no obstacles.

In any case, when traveling, cultivators from the same realm should unite as one.

No matter how big the problem is, we can sit down and talk. They will do their best to help their relatives, regardless of who is right or wrong.

Unfortunately, although the three True Venerables reacted quickly, it was too late when they arrived.

Lin He Zhenzun had only been gone for an hour, and they arrived at the location around the same time, but the place was deserted.

They searched for nearly two hours before discovering a suspected battlefield billions of kilometers away.

There were still a lot of lingering energy fluctuations in the surrounding area, indicating that things were not peaceful here before.

The two True Venerables reached out and grabbed, sensing the aura. Their expressions changed simultaneously. "Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

The other True Venerable did not make a move—it wasn't necessary for everyone to do it—and asked urgently, "Whose aura is this?"

One of the True Venerables replied expressionlessly, "No trace of life..."

The three people's faces were unusually solemn. Even the slightest trace of their presence was better than none at all—they had been wiped out!

In such a short time, not only has Lin He disappeared without a trace, but even the signs of the battle have been wiped clean...

The three True Venerables remained silent, but they all vaguely knew who the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance had offended recently.

At their level, unless they deliberately choose not to know, such a major event would inevitably leave some clues.

The fact that the three of them were able to come earlier at least gave them the pretense of having the same background, which at least allowed them to try to mediate and fulfill their moral obligations.

Now that the battle is over, there's no point in forcibly intervening.

After a long silence, a True Venerable spoke up, "It seems it really was that person who did it..."

"What does that have to do with us?" another True Venerable said leisurely. "We are all True Venerables now, and we must take responsibility for our choices."

The third True Venerable raised his hand, made some calculations, and spoke calmly.

"The person is still alive. Let's inform the others. The rest... is none of our business."
