Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Deliberately Mystifying!

"Senior!"

The Xu Family martial artists had no idea what had happened.

All they saw was a faint light, followed by some noise.

The whooshing sound of the spear in almost enclosed space echoed, causing a moment of distraction until they realized, by which time, they heard the elder’s screams.

Startled, he also rapidly retreated in the direction they had come from.

The entrance to the cave was extremely narrow; two people could barely enter without encountering anyone.

It could be said that at this moment, the Xu Family martial artist made the most correct decision.

But just like the elder, who could have known that Lu Chen could see in the dark?

His every move was within grasp, and Lu Chen was not in a hurry at all.

The other party might escape momentarily, but certainly not for a lifetime!

Unless he directly fled Tianyuan, then under the light, I might not be able to handle him.

But within Tianyuan...

Lu Chen watched as the other tiptoed, pressing his footsteps low, moving extremely slowly, even making him anxious.

Would you hurry up and go? The sooner you leave, the better I can search the martial artist’s body for items I need.

In Lu Chen’s silent urging, the figure of the Xu Family martial artist finally disappeared from his sight.

Only then did he stand up and quietly approached the corpse.

First, he pulled out the spear and carried it on his back, before he uncovered the cloth from the elder’s face.

"At such an old age, instead of staying home and taking care of your grandchildren, you had to come out seeking death!"

Murmuring to himself, Lu Chen showed no mercy with his hands, searching through the elder’s clothes and surprisingly finding quite a few treasures.

The glowing Luminous Pearl, which he might bring back to the valley house so Mu Xiao no longer needs to keep replacing candles.

Several porcelain bottles, obviously filled with medicinal herbs.

A few Yuan Stone notes, as well as a Jade Pendant!

On the front of the Jade Pendant, the words "Polar Treasure" were inscribed.

On the back was simply the character "Ground."

Ground?

This made Lu Chen rather puzzled.

Clearly, this was a martial artist from the Polar Treasure Meeting.

The Xu family and the Polar Treasure Meeting had a connection, which he had known for some time, but the exact nature of their relationship was unclear.

However, from the departing Xu Family martial artist’s address, it seems that the Polar Treasure Meeting was placed above the Xu family.

"I didn’t expect to get involved with the Polar Treasure Meeting again. That Xu Family martial artist, he cannot be allowed to live!"

In a head-on fight, Lu Chen would definitely not be a match.

But Lu Chen wanted to keep a live captive to interrogate, so he decided to follow him and wait until inside Tianyuan to make his move!

It would be best to knock him out, cripple his limbs, and drag him into the valley!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen rested for a moment, caught his breath, and then left.

The cave was straight and had no twists or turns. Under the light of his pupil, Lu Chen could see the cautious figure ahead.

It was clear that the other party was also afraid of being followed.

After all, one who had killed his senior could surely kill him with ease!

Lu Chen came up with a plan—perhaps he could use this to get closer to the other and then take the opportunity to disable him!

"You’re moving so slowly; if I were you, I’d be running as fast as I could!"

Watching as the other took ten breaths just to move a single step, Lu Chen grew impatient again.

After following for more than an hour, the Xu Family martial artist finally completed the cave passage that should have taken only the time to burn a stick of incense.

As soon as he left the cave, the Xu Family martial artist seemed like a fish leaping to the sea, breaking into a run towards the outside of Tianyuan.

Lu Chen had already anticipated this, sunk his breath to his belly, and then with a deliberately mystifying voice roared, "Do you think you can escape?"

The sudden voice startled the Xu Family martial artist!

Hearing the voice coming from behind, he did not dare to look back and simply knelt down, "Senior, spare my life, I didn’t mean to disturb, I’ll leave right now!"

Lu Chen sneered, drawing his spear and tapping on the dry branches on the ground, creating an eerie sound of footsteps.

"You disturb my cultivation and think to leave just like that, it’s too cheap for you! Your senior was ignorant, so I killed him! And you?"

"Senior, if you can spare my life, I’ll do anything... I’m from the Polar Treasure Meeting, and I have many treasures. Just say what you want, and I’ll bring it for you, how about that?"

Lu Chen let out a strange laugh, "Polar Treasure Meeting? What’s that worth? Besides, you’re just a person from the Xu family, and you dare to call yourself a member of the Polar Treasure Meeting?"

As he spoke these words, Lu Chen stared intently at the other’s reaction.

Just as he had guessed, the Xu Family martial artist trembled violently upon his identity being exposed!

"Senior, I... I... our Xu family is also a part of the Polar Treasure Meeting..."

But as soon as he spoke, he realized it wasn’t right. The senior didn’t even consider the Polar Treasure Meeting significant!

If he kept mentioning the Polar Treasure Meeting, what was the point?

As he was taken aback, Lu Chen let out another strange laugh, "Previously, two from the Xu family were chasing after a martial artist of the Bone Refinement Realm. After disturbing me, they were killed by me. You brought the people from the Polar Treasure Meeting to avenge them, right? In that case, why should I grant you a way out?"

These words made the Xu Family martial artist’s body tremble again, while Lu Chen took advantage of the other’s complete terror to slowly approach!
