Chapter 1303 Hidden Pawn
Tianqi Junlai’s expression changed drastically when he heard the voice.
At this moment, Dai Ling and Pan Zongying appeared at the cave entrance.
“You’re Yun Lintian?” Dai Ling glanced at Yun Lintian with a disdainful smile. “I thought you have six arms and heads or something. It turns out you’re nothing but an ant.”
On the side, Pan Zongying stared at Yun Lintian attentively, and her instinct immediately screamed at her, telling her this man was extremely dangerous.
“They are the two you told me?” Yun Lintian ignored the newcomers and asked Tianqi Junlai.
“Yes. They are Dai Ling and Pan Zongying.” Tianqi Junlai calmed down and replied. Seeing Yun Lintian like this, he was confident that the two weren’t Yun Lintian’s opponents.
Dai Ling frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw Yun Lintian ignore him. Just as he was about to say something, Pan Zongying suddenly grabbed his wrist and ran directly.
A trace of surprise appeared in Yun Lintian’s eyes as he saw this. It seemed this Pan Zongying had a sharp intuition.
Yun Lintian raised his hand slightly, and the space around the two suddenly constricted, preventing them from moving further.
Pan Zongying’s face turned pale. She didn’t expect Yun Lintian could grasp the laws of space of this world to this extent.
Initially, Dai Ling was dissatisfied with Pan Zongying’s sudden action, but now he fully understood why she wanted to run.
Both of them tried their best to release their power, but no matter how hard they tried, they failed to break the space confinement in the end.
Yun Lintian took a step forward and reappeared in front of them. 𝘦𝘯.𝘰𝘳𝘨
He glanced at Dai Ling briefly before turning to Pan Zongying. “You’re smarter than him. I believe you will answer my questions honestly.”
“You!” Dai Ling was so angry that his ghastly pale face flushed red.
“Shut up!” Pan Zongying scolded Dai Ling.
She turned to Yun Lintian and said. “You can ask.”
“I heard that you have a master. Who is it?” Yun Lintian asked.
“Our master’s name is Jun Rong, a general under the Great Lord Mo Yan.” Pan Zongying replied truthfully. “We came here to gain experience.”
“Mo Yan… The third-ranked Great Devil one?” Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. He thought these two would be nothing more than a lackey.
“Yes.” Pan Zongying responded. “I know that I am not in a position to bargain, but as long as you let us go, we will return to the Great Devil Realm directly and never come back again. At the same time, we will compensate all the losses we’ve made.”
Yun Lintian curled his lips and said. “What are you going to compensate with? I don’t lack money here.”
“A piece of secret that could help you avoid a hidden danger.” Pan Zongying said.
Dai Ling looked at Pan Zongying in disbelief upon hearing this. “You…”
“I said shut the hell up!” Pan Zongying glared at him. “Do you think the current situation is not bad enough?”
“You tell me, and I will consider it.” Yun Lintian said.
Pan Zongying took a deep breath and said. “I don’t know if you know this. It’s not just my master and the Supreme Devil Lord who currently pay attention to this world.”
“There’s another person. The second-ranked Great Devil. Lord Mo Yu. Her pawn has been lurking here for a long time now.”
Yun Lintian was surprised. “Who is it?”
“The current Myriad Pill Palace Master, Du Xiaotian.” Pan Zongying replied firmly.
Yun Lintian, Yun Qianxue, and Tianqi Junlai glanced at each other in astonishment.
Pan Zongying said further. “Lord Mo Yu is well-versed in alchemy as well as soul-related techniques. I guess that she did something to Du Xiaotian.”
“Is it true, Hongyue?” Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
“It’s true. Mo Yu is well-known for her sinister alchemy and soul techniques.” Hongyue answered. “However, I didn’t see anything wrong with Du Xiaotian the last time we met. This is strange.”
“How do you know?” Yun Lintian looked at Pan Zongying.
Pan Zongying took a small black pendant out and said. “This is a Black Devil Jade. It will react to strong dark energy.”
As she said, she pressed the pendant onto Dai Ling’s chest, which immediately glowed in a faint black light.
“If the target is weak, you will need to bring the pendant close to him like this. However, when I saw Du Xiaotian in the far distance, the pendant glowed several times brighter than this. Without a doubt, he is a devil. And a high-level one.” Pan Zongying explained further.
She threw the pendant to Yun Lintian and said. “You can check it by yourself.”
Yun Lintian caught the pendant and looked at it briefly.
“I know it doesn’t explain everything.” Pan Zongying said. “Before coming here, I heard my master say something about Lord Mo Yu’s pawn. Looking at everyone in this world, except for Du Xiaotian, I don’t see anyone that fits the description.”
“Moreover, I heard that Du Xiaotian is proficient in alchemy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was truly Lord Mo Yu’s pawn.”
Pan Zongying looked at Yun Lintian and asked. “Whether he’s the pawn or not, it doesn’t matter to you, right? You have to kill him anyway.”
Yun Lintian went silent for a moment and said. “Well, you’re right. It doesn’t matter at all. Du Xiaotian is always on my killing list.”
“However, I don’t understand how Du Xiaotian hides his dark energy from me.”
Pan Zongying frowned slightly and said. “Honestly, I have no idea as well. He’s no different from a human practitioner. If it wasn’t for the pendant, I wouldn’t notice as well.”
“Perhaps it’s a kind of powerful concealing technique.”
Yun Lintian didn’t linger on this topic further. He asked. “Do you know who is behind this?”
He pointed at the dark sky as he spoke.
Pan Zongying replied confidently. “It was Xue Jie. He’s my master’s subordinate. He’s at the first level of the Divine King Realm.”
“Do you know where he is right now?” Yun Lintian asked further.
“Although he’s a genuine Divine King, he is quite cautious. If I guess correctly, he should be somewhere nearby the spatial tunnel where he could run away at any moment.” Pan Zongying said after pondering for a moment.
Yun Lintian took a deep look at her and said. “Come with me.”
