Chapter 2756: Chapter 2776: Big Shots Taking the Lead, I’m Very Obedient!

"Ten percent is too little to express my gratitude, let’s make it twenty percent," Zuo Dongxu said with a resolute expression, giving Lin Xi no chance to rebut, and directly settled the matter: "That’s settled then. We’ll go exchange for medicinal pills, you get ready, and we’ll set off together early tomorrow morning."

Lin Chen expressed his thanks with a clasped fist: "Then I thank you both."

Zuo Dongxu waved his hand dismissively: "When you’re out and about, friends are crucial. The more friends you have, the smoother your journey. Don’t worry about it, let’s go!"

After Zuo Dongxu and Gu Maduo left, the smile on Lin Chen’s face vanished, and his brow furrowed slightly.

If he has come to me on his own initiative, then it’s time to conclude this matter.

As long as there are enough of those Crystal Scorpions from the Land of Demonic Energy, I can earn a wave of points and help Lan Qiangwei achieve her goal, and then I can withdraw completely unharmed.

The rest of the night passed without incident.

The Second Day morning, Lin Chen, Zuo Dongxu, and Gu Maduo met and headed towards the Land of Demonic Energy.

"Lin Xi, since we’re teaming up, let’s reveal our abilities to each other. Let’s talk about our respective Divine Powers and what we specialize in, so we can cooperate and maximize our Combat Power. After all, the Crystal Scorpions are social creatures. Usually, finding one means there’s likely a whole nest nearby..."

Lin Chen had already thought everything through and responded without hesitation: "I practice the Sword Dao. I have no special Divine Powers. When I deploy it, it’s just a normal Sword Domain..."

Beyond the Sword Dao, Lin Chen could also pretend to command the Five Elements Way of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but the Cultivation Techniques he practiced were all superb, and each was associated with a sect. If someone recognized what he used, his identity as a Loose Cultivator would be instantly exposed.

The Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art from Gathering Immortal Island, the Divine Spring All-Wood Technique from Dragon Mountain Sect, the Ancient Xuan Water Technique from Gui Xu Sect, the Sun Scripture from Sun God Palace, and the Sand Dragon Illusion Divine Art from Illusory Serpent Sect—all had to remain hidden.

Lin Chen, with his innate Sword Bone, had previously cultivated the Three-foot Sword Curtain and the Sky Sword Five Moves. Now, having also cultivated the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art, deploying the Sword Dao was extremely safe and would surely not expose him.

Sword Dao?

This is solid!

The Sword Dao is about the comprehension of the sword, the simplest yet most brutal approach. It lacks unnecessary fanciness, focusing on breaking through myriad magic with a single strike. As such, the practitioner’s realm has a significant impact on their Combat Power.

Since Lin Chen practices the Sword Dao and his Strength is only at the Triple Realm of the Daluo Mysterious Immortal, there’s no need to worry at all. Once I take action, his death is certain—he won’t even have a chance to escape!

"Alright, I practice the Path of Water. There’s nothing special about my Divine Powers, just the Water Domain, controlling water..."

Zuo Dongxu practiced the Path of Water, which was no surprise to Lin Chen. After all, the highest Cultivation Technique of the Gui Xu Sect is the Ancient Xuan Water Technique, which only Water Attribute adepts could possibly cultivate. Regrettably, only Shang Wenyin in the entire sect had successfully achieved it.

I wonder what expression Zuo Dongxu would make if he saw me deploy the Ancient Xuan Water Technique?

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted to Gu Maduo, who frowned slightly as though reluctant to share, but after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up: "The Way of Metal. My Divine Power is the Metal Hand."

Zuo Dongxu explained: "Brother Gu’s background is mysterious. He’s been accustomed to battling Demonic Beasts up close since he was young. His hands are his fiercest weapons. After achieving his Divine Power, his hands became indestructible, stronger than Magical Treasures. So in battle, he always attacks at close range, and even barriers from Magical Treasures can hardly withstand his hands."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. This Divine Power was impressive.

I’ve tempered my own bones to be harder than steel, but after all, that’s a result of multiple temperings. Gu Maduo’s Divine Power, however, was manifested in his hands, turning them into treasure-like existences.

If his hands were to touch my Sword Bone, I wonder who would be able to withstand more?

"My Strength is far inferior to both of you, but I’ll definitely cooperate fully and follow your commands—I won’t act recklessly..."

Lin Chen put on an earnest front of being a fledgling carried by big shots, to which Zuo Dongxu responded with a smile, "Just make sure not to run off by yourself. As long as you don’t wander into a Crystal Scorpion nest alone, there shouldn’t be any danger. Don’t worry."

Lin Chen nodded repeatedly: "I will, I’ll definitely follow orders."

Zuo Dongxu looked at the compliant Lin Chen and sneered inwardly. Although you are well aware of your position and have managed to keep a low profile, you’ve gotten involved with the wrong person.

The three flew together, and soon reached the Land of Demonic Energy as described by Zuo Dongxu.

Suspended in mid-air, Lin Chen looked down at the land shrouded in dark fog and exclaimed in surprise: "The Demonic Qi is so thick; could it be that the Starry Sky Demon Beast is still here?"

Zuo Dongxu laughed: "If it were here, with so many people bustling about in this Land of Demonic Energy, how could it show no reaction at all? It’s likely this is one of the places where a Starry Sky Demon Beast lingered for a while. Look at the terrain here; mountains stretch all around, encircling this region and forming a Basin. The heavy Demonic Qi settles down close to the ground. Over time, it has become what you see now..."
