The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1308 - Chapter 1308 Chapter 1407 Helping to Find Someone

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1407: Helping to Find Someone Chapter 1308: Chapter 1407: Helping to Find Someone According to Fang Lin’s thinking, since this black-robed woman was the guardian of the Second Array, other outsiders within the array would surely not escape her sight.

The black-robed woman looked up at Fang Lin, “What do you want to do?”

Fang Lin smiled faintly, “I would like to ask for your help.”

The black-robed woman did not ask what she needed to help with; instead, she sneered, “Why should I help you? What’s in it for me?”

Fang Lin shook his head, “There’s no benefit, just asking if you would like to help.”

The black-robed woman intended to refuse, but on second thought, she couldn’t deal with him at the moment. If she were to push him into a corner and provoke that unfathomable puppet to strike against her, what then?

Although she still held a life-saving trump card, the puppet’s strength was truly terrifying. Even if she used her trump card, it might not have much effect.

“How would you like me to help you?” The black-robed woman didn’t agree immediately but asked instead.

Fang Lin stated, “Help me find the other people in this Second Array.”

The black-robed woman frowned and remained silent, contemplating whether to agree with Fang Lin.

Truthfully, the black-robed woman was reluctant to agree, as her mission as the guardian of this place was to eliminate any intruders.

If she were to instead help an outsider, that would be equivalent to committing a taboo, and what would happen then was unknown even to her.

“If you do not wish to help, that’s fine, but your life, including that of the Fire Spirit Silkworm Demon King, is in my hands this moment. With just one command from me, both of you will die here,” Fang Lin stated in a very cold tone, making it clear that he was not beating around the bush but outright threatening her.

Either help, or the only other option is death.

The black-robed woman felt infuriated inside and said, “Aren’t you afraid I might fight you to the death?”

Fang Lin looked at the black-robed woman disdainfully, “Any tactics you might use are useless in front of me; it’s best if you choose to cooperate with me.”

As soon as his words fell, a pitch-black Demon Sword was positioned on the shoulder of the black-robed woman, its sharp edge just inches away from her neck.

The black-robed woman’s heart trembled, and while the sword hadn’t truly touched her, the frightening aura it emitted made her body involuntarily shiver.

“Fine! I agree to help you!” the black-robed woman said through gritted teeth, finally agreeing.

The Demon Sword moved away from her shoulder and returned to the hands of the Demon Puppet, allowing the black-robed woman to breathe a sigh of relief; her face colored with lingering fear.

“But I want to make it clear that I will only help you locate them and will not do anything against anyone,” she said.

Fang Lin nodded, “That’s natural; you only need to help me find a few people. You don’t need to do anything else.”

The black-robed woman glanced at the Fire Spirit Silkworm Demon King, still suppressed by the Demon Puppet, and asked, “Can I release it now?”

Fang Lin smiled and commanded the Demon Puppet to release the Fire Spirit Silkworm Demon King, who fearfully glanced at the Demon Puppet, approached the black-robed woman, and exchanged a few words in an inaudible whisper before burying itself back into the ground.

Fang Lin glanced at the juvenile Fire Spirit Silkworm on the woman’s shoulder and tentatively asked, “How many Fire Spirit Silkworms are there in these lands?”

The dark-robed woman hadn’t noticed Fang Lin’s coveting of the Fire Spirit Silkworm as she said, “There are only two of them, one big and one small, and the smaller one was just born not long ago.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin nodded, not saying much more. Although he really wanted to get his hands on the Fire Spirit Silkworm, now was not the time to bring it up, and he could consider it later.

“Tell me, who are you looking for?” the dark-robed woman asked, her tone quite indifferent, showing great reluctance.

Fang Lin thought for a moment. The two people he most wanted to find were the assassin from Hidden Kill Hall and Yin Wuyan, and he also didn’t know the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng.

“Let’s start with one person, his appearance…” After thinking carefully, Fang Lin decided to first locate the assassin from Hidden Kill Hall, who posed the greatest threat to him, determined to snatch the Demonic Extermination Needle from him.

After listening to Fang Lin’s description, the dark-robed woman nodded slightly and crouched down, placing one hand on the ground.

Fang Lin couldn’t discern any tricks or feel any changes in the surroundings, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Since the woman had agreed to help, he assumed she wouldn’t play any tricks, and even if she did, it wouldn’t concern him.

Fang Lin sat nearby, practicing his cultivation in a meditative pose, silently regulating the breath within his body.

Battling with the dark-robed woman had greatly depleted him; his Inner Strength was completely exhausted and had yet to recover.

Now that he had reached an agreement with the dark-robed woman, there was no need to worry further, so he began cultivating on the spot to restore his Inner Strength.

Of course, the Demon Puppet stood by, protecting him. If the dark-robed woman dared to take advantage of the situation, the Demon Puppet would not hesitate to strike and kill her.

An hour later, the dark-robed woman finally stood up and looked towards Fang Lin.

“How is it?” Fang Lin also opened his eyes and asked the dark-robed woman.

“I’ve found him,” the dark-robed woman said coldly.

…

In the Demon Beast Forest, a large number of demon beasts had been slaughtered, the ground covered with corpses.

A dark shadow, eerily drifting midair, emitted bursts of chilling, cold laughter, holding a bloody gleam in its hand that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

“There are so many demon beasts here, but killing them is hardly satisfying. Killing people is more interesting,” the shadow said to itself, its dim eyes revealing a strong intent to kill.

Clearly, this was a person addicted to killing, having harvested countless lives, and had come to see killing as an instinct.

“I wonder where Fang Lin is hiding. It wasn’t easy coming here this time. If I don’t get rid of this child while I’m at it, I’ll feel somewhat unsatisfied,” the shadow said, thinking of Fang Lin, the killing intent in his eyes growing even more intense.

Just then, a figure, swift as lightning, appeared behind the shadow. Before the person had any chance to react, the Demon Puppet had grabbed him by the back of the neck.

The shadow was frightened, his eyes now filled only with fear and horror, never expecting to be captured suddenly.

“It seems that as an assassin, you’re still not vigilant enough,” Fang Lin’s voice sounded, appearing not far away, slowly walking towards the situation.

Now caught by the Demon Puppet, the shadow finally revealed his true face and figure, an extremely emaciated man, looking as if only a layer of skin was wrapped around his bones, seemingly as if a gust of wind could knock him down.

The man’s complexion was very pale, devoid of any color, but his body was saturated with abundant Spirit Source, clearly at least a high expert of the fourth or fifth layer of Spirit Source.
