Chapter 2667: Chapter 2687: How about we discuss it?

"At midnight, a team of at least twenty from the Barbarian Tribe swept through; they seemed to be looking for you."

Lin Chen finished his recovery and heard Qi Jie’s reminder.

Lin Chen frowned. A team of twenty people?

"It seems the news of our hunting here has been spread by those who ran away; they want to take us out first..."

Lin Chen sighed, "It looks like we need to change our plan. We have to find another demon race team to ally with; otherwise, even if we encounter a team, we probably won’t be able to succeed, and there’s even a possibility of being captured."

Although this possibility wasn’t high, they couldn’t gamble on it, could they?

If they won the bet, all would be well, but if they lost, they could potentially lose their lives.

The Second Day, Lin Chen and his two companions headed towards the eastern region.

Since they had already drawn the attention of the main forces, staying in the central area was obviously not suitable anymore.

After half an hour had passed, the trio encountered their first team.

Lin Chen looked over with caution, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The demon race!

Kong Ling glanced at the other party’s attire and spoke softly, "Leize Sect, their strength ranks within the top three among the competing sects."

At the same time, the team from the Leize Sect also noticed the three of them and moved in their direction.

From the crowd, a lofty man with an impressive aura took the initiative to greet them, "Friends from the Illusory Serpent Sect, why are there only three of you?"

Kong Ling responded, "We were delayed on the way and failed to catch up with the disciples from our sect; where are you heading?"

The man answered, "We’re just wandering around, seeing if we can run into the Barbarian Tribe. Did you encounter any of their teams on your way here?"

Kong Ling pointed towards the central area, "Last night, a team of about twenty from the Barbarian Tribe was roaming in the central region. If you’re heading that way, you should be careful."

The man’s expression grew stern, "A squad of more than twenty people?"

Kong Ling nodded, "Yes, but whether they’re still there now, I’m not sure."

The man’s gaze held a slight trace of doubt, "You discovered them but they didn’t find you?"

Kong Ling laughed, "We were hiding."

The man then realized and, after some thought, said, "Why don’t the three of you join us temporarily? With more people, it’s safer to move together."

Suddenly, Lin Chen spoke up, "Do you want to hunt down that Barbarian Squadron?"

The man looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "You said they have about twenty people, right? We only have thirteen here; it might be difficult, no?"

Lin Chen’s gaze swiftly swept around, noting that their plaques’ projections were all activated, aware that at this moment, they were under everyone’s attention. He then said, "They were probably searching for us last night. Since they had so many people, I didn’t confront them directly, but adding your group, I believe we have enough strength for a clash."

The man sized up Lin Chen, "Your Excellency, what is your strength?"

Lin Chen replied, "Lower-grade Great Luo Immortal."

Before the man could respond, someone in the crowd let out a scoffing laugh, "Are you joking? You, a Lower-grade Great Luo Immortal, talking about joining forces and you’re so confident. Could it be that by joining forces, you mean we do the fighting while you sneak away, then come back to share the credit after we’re done?"

Someone else followed up with a mocking tone, "I alone can’t beat ten, but if I join forces with a Quasi-Saint, it’s a guaranteed win!"

Lin Chen glanced at the man who spoke and said calmly, "How many plaques have you captured?"

The Leading man frowned, "Only one, because we prioritized regrouping, so we haven’t had the chance to launch an attack... Even if the three of you join us, that makes only sixteen, and since the others amount to more than twenty, they must be from the same sect, probably a strong and populous one to gather so many in such a short time. We might not be able to take them."

The Leading man put it diplomatically, but what he meant was that they didn’t stand a chance; why go against a larger group and serve themselves up on a platter?

Lin Chen said nothing and simply took out the plaques from his Spatial Ring.

One!

Two!

Three!

...

The disciples of the Leize Sect had originally looked disdainful, but as one plaque after another was produced, everyone’s expressions gradually changed.

From disdain to suspicion, then to shock, and finally disbelief, all these changes happened within a few seconds.

Eight black plaques were lined up, piercing the hearts of every Leize Sect disciple.

Three people?

In one day’s time, they captured eight plaques?

How did they manage that?

It’s not easy to capture plaques; first, you need to be stronger than your opponent, then your speed has to be faster, and you also have to prevent the opponent from using any Magical Treasures or Divine Powers to escape. Only after all these factors are accounted for can you snatch away your opponent’s plaque.

In such a short time, to have seized so many plaques, what did this imply?

These three were not simple!

After his shock, the Leading man’s face showed a smile as he cupped his hands in greeting and his tone became much more polite in an instant.

"Fellow cultivator, you just mentioned wanting to hunt down that Barbarian squad. Do you perhaps have a plan? Why don’t we discuss it?"
