Chapter 725: Chapter 725 Dark Division Powerhouse

"I told you to see my master, not that I was going," Wang Yilin waved her hand at Lin Chen and then disappeared in a wisp of smoke.

Joking aside, she came specifically to find Lin Chen to create an opportunity for them to be alone. If she followed, wouldn’t she become a third wheel?

Seeing Wang Yilin had gone far, Lin Chen shook his head.

He would go see Zhao Rushi by himself. She wasn’t a terrifying person, after all—just in need of some Spiritual Medicine...

...

At this moment, on the main path leading to the Red Soul Hall, a figure was speeding through the air, fleeing towards the direction of the Red Soul Hall.

This person was none other than Zhao Zhongtian, the mastermind behind the failed ambush on the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

His plot exposed, neither the Jade Cauldron Sect nor Lin Chen would let him off the hook. As for the Zhao Family, Zhao Zhongtian had long since written them off as expendable.

After a day and night of fleeing, he finally neared the territory of Zhangyang Country, which was under the influence of the Red Soul Hall.

In his view, though the Jade Cauldron Sect was powerful and had the Battle Eagle Squad, they wouldn’t be able to extend their reach into the Red Soul Hall’s domain.

Thus, as he was about to enter the territory of Zhangyang Country, Zhao Zhongtian let out a silent sigh of relief.

His injuries had not fully healed, for he had not dared to stop even for a moment after being wounded, always on the run.

However, just when Zhao Zhongtian thought he was completely safe upon entering the borders of Zhangyang Country, a figure swiftly flew in from afar. In a few breaths, it appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhongtian frowned deeply, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

The newcomer’s presence was even stronger than Zhao Zhongtian’s at his peak. Clearly, the person before him was far superior to Zhao Zhongtian.

"May I ask what business senior has with me?"

Zhao Zhongtian bowed slightly, politely inquiring of the one who blocked his way.

Such a mighty presence meant that even at his peak, he was no match for this person, let alone now with his unhealed wounds and depleted Spiritual Power.

But the person in black did not answer; instead, he slowly turned around.

Dressed in black with a cloak over his head, his face was indiscernible to Zhao Zhongtian.

"Are you Zhao Zhongtian?"

The man in black fixed his gaze on Zhao Zhongtian, his voice cold as he asked.

Upon receiving Lin Chen’s message, Ye Mei immediately abandoned her current task and had been waiting here expressly for Zhao Zhongtian.

Ye Mei was among the first members of the Dark Division, captain of the Black Crow Squad, with inscrutable strength, taking orders directly from Lin Chen. Even Xu Ma’an’s commands could be ignored by her.

Hearing Ye Mei speak, Zhao Zhongtian’s heart sank, knowing things were looking grim. In a panic, he deployed a Secret Technique in an attempt to flee the area.

He hadn’t anticipated that the Jade Cauldron Sect’s reach extended so far. After a day and night on the run, he was still caught up with.

Zhao Zhongtian had fled all the way into the borders of Zhangyang Country, thinking no one here would recognize him, but the person in black knew his name, clearly one of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s.

Zhao Zhongtian erupted with all his power, using a Secret Technique, his form instantly flitting ten miles away.

Though the technique was unsustainable for long periods, it was quite suitable for making one’s escape.

The corners of Ye Mei’s mouth curved slightly in a cold smile. Zhao Zhongtian, with his Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, daring to flee from him—it was laughable.

"My lord emphasized repeatedly: you must die, and your death should not be easy."

Ye Mei chuckled lightly, her form transforming into a flash of light as she rapidly pursued the fleeing Zhao Zhongtian.

At that moment, Ye Mei was at least five times faster than Zhao Zhongtian.

"I have no grudge with you, sir; why do you persist in pursuit?"

Zhao Zhongtian was blocked again by Ye Mei, his heart filled with shock.

The speed of Ye Mei’s movement technique had driven him to despair, aware that there was no chance of escaping from her.

Despite knowing full well that the person in black must be from the Jade Cauldron Sect, he still held on to a sliver of hope, wishing that the other might let him go.

"Haha, you and I indeed bear no personal grudges. But you dared to rob my Jade Cauldron Sect’s Lingxi Commerce Guild—you were seeking your own death."

"The scheme you concocted was indeed malicious. If it weren’t for my lord’s command to take you back alive, I would have delighted in watching you die in agony. I have ten thousand ways for you to choose from."

Ye Mei looked at Zhao Zhongtian with a sneer, as if regarding a plaything, contemplating how to make him die the most painfully.

"I’ll fight you!"

Zhao Zhongtian, infuriated by Ye Mei’s words—a great insult to him—charged swiftly at Ye Mei.

But with a mere flick of her hand, a stream of dark Spiritual Light sprinkled out, repelling and restraining Zhao Zhongtian so he could not move.

"Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse!"

Zhao Zhongtian looked at Ye Mei in terror, not understanding when the Jade Cauldron Sect had acquired such a formidable expert.

He had previously investigated the Jade Cauldron Sect and knew it had only one Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, which was only after The Haiyue Commerce power joined them.

What Zhao Zhongtian didn’t know, however, was that all this information was a year old. The current power of the Jade Cauldron Sect far exceeded his imagination.

If he had known this, he wouldn’t have dared to rob the Lingxi Commerce Guild even if he had ten thousand times the courage. But now, regret was too late...

Meanwhile, back in Cloud Sky City, Lin Chen arrived at Zhao Rushi’s alchemy room and handed over the Spiritual Medicines to her.

"That’s it? Just fifteen plants? Do you think I’m a beggar? This handful of Herbal Materials isn’t enough for my research."

Seeing the Spiritual Medicines Lin Chen produced, Zhao Rushi was not pleased with the quantity, immediately voicing her complaint loudly, her tone carrying a brash quality.

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt rather embarrassed. The way Zhao Rushi was acting, it hardly seemed like she was asking him for Spiritual Medicine; it was almost as if he was working for her.
