Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 703: Chapter 624: The Scheme (Merged Chapter)

“How strong is it?” Elder Gui asked urgently.

“It should be as strong as the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform,” Lou Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, a gleam appeared in everyone’s eyes.

They weren’t fools and soon understood what Lou Yi intended to do.

“Are you thinking of luring the Trench Patrol Guest over to fight that spiritual entity?

But even if the Trench Patrol Guest and it both suffer severe injuries, it’s still difficult for us to profit from it.” Elder Gui thought for a moment and shook his head,

“Even a wounded Fifth Layer Spirit Platform is far beyond what we can handle.”

Lou Yi responded, “I have a friend who just arrived in Tianyuan recently. He is also a Martial Artist, and his strength is far superior to mine.”

“Oh?” Ding Shiniang said happily, “Your friend arrived just in time.”

’Isn’t that obvious? The friend I’m talking about is myself,’ Lou Yi thought to himself.

No one asked further about Lou Yi’s friend’s strength.

Clearly, anyone confident enough to join a battle at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform must be at that level.

Martial Arts are mysterious and powerful in their eyes.

From Lou Yi’s aura, it appears he hasn’t reached Perfection in his Foundation Establishment, but he can already overstep ranks to kill cultivators at the Second Layer of the Spirit Platform.

“We should discuss how to assist from the sidelines, aiming to eliminate it in one decisive move.

Mainly, Xuan’er and I will take action, while the rest of you keep watch from the rear…” A fierce glint flashed in Ding Shiniang’s beautiful phoenix eyes,

“Since the demon gives us no leeway, it should be ready to face a backlash!”

“Alright, alright, I’ve wanted to get rid of that fat bastard for a long time!” Lin Xuan clapped excitedly.

But Lou Yi shook his head and said, “You guys don’t need to go.”

“Huh?”

“No one knows exactly how strong the demon is.

If my friend fails to assassinate it, he can still escape alone, but I can’t say the same for others.” Lou Yi explained,

“Moreover, at this level of battle, numbers alone don’t determine victory or defeat.”

“So, what do you mean, Lou Yi?” Elder Gui asked.

“Whether this battle is won or lost, we can’t stay in Shisu District any longer; we need to move.

When the demon gets entangled, it will be too busy to care, and you should quickly leave for other districts.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; otherwise, if my friend fails in the assassination, we can only wait for death slowly.

With the demon’s spies present, no one can leave Shisu District,” Lou Yi proposed.

“But what about you, Lou Yi?” From his words, it was clear that Lou Yi intended to personally partake in this strategy.

Lou Yi looked serious, “This matter started because of me, and I need to be responsible for bringing it to an end.

Don’t worry, I have a plan to escape; I’ll find you afterward.”

“That’s not acceptable; it’s too dangerous for you!” Lin Xuan was the first to disagree, and the others nodded in agreement.

But, after Lou Yi’s repeated insistence and assurances, they finally chose to trust him and prepare to execute the plan.

Half an hour later.

In a stone chamber within the cave where Lin Xuan’s team lived, a middle-aged cultivator with a hooked nose and dressed in black, Cui Rong, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within.

’Movement?’

He had not only placed tracking marks on all the clothes of the team members but also set up extremely hidden surveillance arrays in several areas within and outside the cave. Any disturbance would be known immediately.

Even if Lin Xuan’s team discovered his methods, they didn’t dare to expose or destroy them recklessly.

Because everyone knew this was the wish of the Trench Patrol Guest, and tearing it apart wouldn’t be good for anyone.

Thinking of this, Cui Rong immediately informed the other two people sent by the demon, and the three rushed out of the cave together.

Sure enough, they discovered Lin Xuan and his people sneaking off.

“Gentlemen, where are you off to so late?” Seeing the sudden change in Lin Xuan, Elder Gui, and others’ faces, Cui Rong and the other overseers showed a smirk on their faces,

“In Tianyuan, it’s best not to go out at night, or who knows what strange things you might encounter.”

“Oh, couldn’t sleep at night, just out for a stroll,” Lin Xuan replied.

“What a coincidence, we can’t sleep either.” Cui Rong and the other overseers exchanged glances, each seeing the mockery in the other’s eyes.

A large group of people out this late must have some significant action planned; claiming insomnia, who are they fooling?

Left with no choice, Lin Xuan and his group had to let Cui Rong and the others follow.

Quickly, they arrived at a depression filled with numerous holes, large and small. It seemed ordinary and such environments were ubiquitous in Tianyuan.

However, Cui Rong keenly noticed that in some of the holes, grayish-white snakes cautiously poked their heads out.

Clearly, this was a nest of a spiritual entity!

“Fellow Daoist Cui, Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Fan, we should unite and clear out these spiritual entities from this nest.

Then we can share the Spiritual Liquid, you can even take a larger share,” Elder Gui suggested, seeing he couldn’t hide it any longer, “After notifying others, you might not get much benefit anyway?”

“Of course, of course!” Cui Rong and his companions readily agreed.

But soon, a seductive man, Zhou Nan, arrived with a group of his followers.

“The Trench Patrol Guest ordered you to assist Wang Shun in the Devil’s Den!” Zhou Nan immediately said.

“Damn it, it’s always this way!” Lin Xuan shouted angrily, ready to rush forward, but was held back tightly by Elder Gui, Qin Dong, and others.

Lou Yi watched from the side, amused at heart.

Never mind that Lin Xuan usually seemed straightforward; he still had some acting skills, after all, he had cultivated for decades.
