Chapter 1150: Chapter 1170: I Want to See Who Will Come to Kill Me Next_1

"Soul Locking Pill is one of the most effective ways to deal with cultivators, but it’s extremely difficult to refine, each pill is highly valuable and rare in the market..."

Lin Chen sat calmly in his seat, looking at the middle-aged man who had been burned to ash. He said softly, "I don’t know who holds such a deep grudge against me to actually hire someone to kill me, and even using a Soul Locking Pill..."

Qiao Wei whispered, "He called you the Human Emperor. Did he want to kill Lin Chen or the Human Emperor?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Who knows? I originally wanted to ask, but he directly self-immolated, not even leaving a trace behind. He was ruthless and must have been a professional killer, either succeeding or dying."

Qiao Wei asked, "Why didn’t he attack you directly?"

Lin Chen shrugged, "Maybe he wanted to observe me up close while chatting to see if I had really been poisoned. Or, perhaps he thought that since he was killing the Human Emperor, he wanted to see the desperate expression and use words to trample me a bit, a rare opportunity."

Qiao Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "The villain died from talking too much?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Even if he had attacked directly, the result would have been the same. If the attacker had been a Void Profound Expert, however, it might have been successful."

Qiao Wei looked at Mei Nu’s retracted vines with an indescribable expression.

The vine monster Mei Nu had almost taken Lin Chen’s life at one point. It was Qiao Wei who arrived in time, killing a Tree Demon, and after Mei Nu’s Nascent Soul escaped into a Vajra Vine, she was still caught by Qiao Wei and eventually given to Lin Chen as a contracted demon servant.

When Mei Nu’s spirit was attached to the Vajra Vine, she was incredibly weak, but in just a few years, she had grown to such a terrifying extent.

A killer at the Late Nascent Soul stage, an expert who was so powerful in front of her, was like a child who had just learned to walk, easily knocked to the ground with a few strikes from her whip.

In such a narrow space, Mei Nu even managed to withstand the massive impact of the attack. If she hadn’t, the entire flying boat would have either been obliterated or left with a huge hole, causing many deaths and injuries.

"Mei Nu, how strong are you now? You seem quite powerful..."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Early Stage Great Demon, equivalent to the early stage of Void."

Qiao Wei was surprised, "How did she advance so quickly? Her level is even higher than yours..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "She can devour cultivators’ Primordial Spirits or bodies, and I can’t. Naturally, her speed is faster than mine."

In the Sea of Oblivion, Lin Chen had fed the bodies and Primordial Spirits of his Immortal Slaves to the three demons. These slaves were not ordinary cultivators, they were half-immortals, stronger than those at the Tribulation Crossing Period!

Having absorbed the Half Immortal Souls and bodies, the three demons all achieved a significant improvement, and all stepped into the early stage of the Great Demon realm.

If they were to face someone like Da Luo Yuan, Murong Yan, or other Late Void Separation or Great Circle of Void Separation Cultivators, the three demons would not be enough. But when facing the Nascent Soul Stage killer just now, it was quite easy for them.

"What was that thing crawling on you just now?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Not sure, I’ll check later."

The duration of the Soul Locking Pill was not long. Soon, Lin Chen and Qiao Wei’s locked Dantian began to loosen, and everything returned to normal.

After compensating the ship owner, Lin Chen returned to his room and examined his body. He then discovered that there had been a "mark" left on his Primordial Spirit.

Lin Chen tried to remove the mark but had no effect. It seemed to have deeply merged with his Primordial Spirit and was inseparable.

The voice of Xuanji Fairy sounded in the room, "No need to bother, you’ve been cursed."

"Cursed?"

With a surprised expression, Lin Chen asked, "What kind of curse is this and what are its effects? I feel like there’s no impact."

Xuanji Fairy replied, "A curse of location at the price of one’s life."

Lin Chen widened his eyes, "Location? So you mean that with this curse on me, someone can track me down using it?"

"Yes!"

Xuanji Fairy laughed softly, "You have been marked by the curse, and as long as the curse remains, they will be able to sense your location and easily find you, unless you hide in another realm, like the Human World, Secret Realm, or Immortal Realm..."

Lin Chen chuckled bitterly, "So, he wanted to curse me before dying, meaning there will be other more powerful killers coming after me?"

Qiao Wei intervened, "That should be the case. Afterward, someone will definitely come to kill you, considering he said he’d wait for you down there before dying..."

Lin Chen sighed, "In that case, we’d better go on our own instead. The fight in the restaurant just now was quite intense, and if it had been more intense, the entire flying boat probably would have been destroyed, and countless people would have died."

"I’d like to see who wants to kill me so badly. Could it be the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect? I killed a lot of their people last time, and they must hate me to the bone. Knowing that they have no chance of killing me face-to-face, they resorted to hiring an assassin?"

"It could also be the Central Divine Continent Alliance. After all, I’ve killed the Sect Masters of Dark Swallow Pavilion and two other sects, so the hatred is huge. Even though they are in the wrong, they wouldn’t dare to retaliate directly, so they hired a killer instead..."

Qiao Wei laughed, "It’s not easy for them to kill you head-on. Even if you can’t win, you can run. With the Reducing Land to Inches technique, they can’t catch up to you."

Lin Chen laughed, "Since I’m marked, I’ll wait and see who comes to kill me."
