Chapter 297: Chapter 65 Traces

Another half month has passed.

On this day, another visitor arrived at Liu Manor.

"Brother Wei." Lin Yuan cupped his fists.

In front of him, Wei Junli looked travel-weary, with a faint scent of blood on him. It was clear he had killed many people to possess such a heavy aura.

Wei Junli waved his hand: "No need for such courtesy. Some time ago, I was chasing someone, but alas, they were about to enter the territory of the Crying Soul Sect, so I had to give up."

"How have you been lately, Junior Brother?"

"Everything’s as usual. Since killing Yang Gaofeng, there have been far fewer devil cultivators active around here." Lin Yuan nodded.

Wei Junli murmured in agreement, glanced around to make sure no one was around, and whispered through sound transmission: "Junior Brother, as I said before, be prepared. I’ve received news that the devil progeny of the Crying Soul Sect is near the front line. The Fire Crow Sect is also sending true disciples here, perhaps planning something big. If you get the chance, return to Changle Village and wait for the situation to stabilize before coming out again."

"Devil progeny, true disciples!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s reaction, Wei Junli patted his shoulder.

Wei Junli didn’t linger after revealing this crucial information and hurriedly left.

Another day passed.

Today, it was Lin Yuan’s turn to patrol again.

The sun was blazing overhead as Lin Yuan quietly appeared beside the squad leader of the patrol team.

"I’ve heard you have news on Jiang Chengming?"

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping over the person in front of him.

The squad leader was startled, not realizing when Lin Yuan had arrived.

"Yes, I do."

He quickly cupped his fists and bowed his head in response.

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

The voice remained very calm, with no hint of emotion.

Seeing the hesitation on the squad leader’s face, Lin Yuan’s heart beat fiercely, as if ready to jump out of his chest.

But recalling some promises, he gritted his teeth and said with a deep voice, "Near Shiqing Slope!"

"Shiqing Slope, huh?"

The calm voice repeated the phrase.

The squad leader felt a chill down his spine, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

**********

Meanwhile, near Liu Manor, in an ordinary farmhouse.

Chi Caijing gently pushed open the door and stepped into the ordinary home.

"Sun Jitong, the bait has been thrown. What’s the next step?"

Chi Caijing’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Whish!

Sun Jitong opened his folding fan, gently fanning himself, feeling the breeze across his face.

"The plan?"

He chuckled, "Shiqing Slope, Qi Yu will surely go. All we need to do now is separate Lin Yuan and Qi Yu."

"What if Qi Yu insists on taking Lin Yuan along?"

Sun Jitong shook his head, "I’ll find a reason to make Qi Yu stay behind."

Chi Caijing’s eyes showed confusion, "Why should Qi Yu stay behind?"

Sun Jitong laughed heartily, his eyes shooting out cold light, "If Lu Yanxiu were severely injured by Jiang Chengming, and her guard members were seriously wounded near Liu Manor, how would Qi Yu respond?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Caijing hesitated, her red lips slightly parted.

Indeed, in such a situation, Qi Yu would have to stay and guard Liu Manor to protect others, unable to leave no matter what.

Just as she thought she had figured it out, Sun Jitong laughed again, "And the next day, the patrol disciples outside would be attacked by Jiang Chengming again. How would one respond?"

Chi Caijing’s right hand immediately covered her chest, trembling violently.

After a moment, with astonishment in her eyes, she said, "Liao Xingqian will lead me and Lin Yuan to hunt Jiang Chengming down."

"This woman may have a large chest, but she’s got some brains too."

Sun Jitong’s eyes were dazzled by Chi Caijing’s ample bosom.

Gathering his thoughts, he snorted coldly and added, "That’s right, Lin Yuan falls to Jiang Chengming’s treacherous hand, while Liao Xingqian fails to catch him, letting him escape."

Saying this, Sun Jitong’s face showed pride.

As if in agreement, both of them began to laugh with a sense of conspiracy.

Clap clap clap!

At this moment, a clear applause sounded near their ears.

"This plan is marvelous!"

A clear, approving voice echoed, and a figure appeared in their sight.

A lean figure’s eyes reflected their shocked expressions: "How fortunate I am, Lin Yuan, to be the subject of such plotting by the two of you?"

"Lin Yuan!"

Sun Jitong and Chi Caijing spoke in unison, shaken.

"Why are you here?"

Chi Caijing opened her red lips, looking incredulous.

Logically, Lin Yuan should be on patrol, so why was he here?

Did the squad leader make a mistake?

"Hahaha."

Sun Jitong came to his senses, laughing loudly, "There’s a road to heaven but you refuse to take it, and you barge into a hell with no doors."

"Lin Yuan, blame yourself for being too careless and too clever."

As Sun Jitong spoke, surges of energy erupted from his body, and his folding fan spun violently, transforming into high-speed rotating blades.

A strong current whipped out from the edges of the folding fan, cutting countless blades of grass beneath his feet.

Sun Jitong’s face twisted ferociously, "I warned you back then to stay away from Qi Yu. It seems you did not heed my warning, so I went to such lengths just to see you dead!"

While speaking, Sun Jitong’s figure lunged at Lin Yuan like a leopard from the shadows.

Yet Lin Yuan seemed unperturbed by Sun Jitong’s actions, speaking calmly, "There’s a road to heaven but you refuse to take it, and you barge into a hell with no doors."

"Jiang Chengming’s actions are elusive; if he can kill me, Lin Yuan, what’s to stop him from killing Sun Jitong?"

Sun Jitong was momentarily stunned by this.

What could this mean?

Could Jiang Chengming actually be here, or is Lin Yuan a secret agent for the demonic sect?

"No matter what, I’ll kill you first and figure it out later!"

With this in mind, Sun Jitong’s eyes turned icy.

Lin Yuan’s strength was barely seventy, a significant gap of at least two levels compared to his own, with nothing to counter his attack.

But watching Sun Jitong’s folding fan, which spun like a high-speed cutting machine capable of severing all of Lin Yuan’s life signs, Lin Yuan remained unexpectedly calm, his gaze serene.

As Sun Jitong’s attack loomed, a sharp gust was about to tear Lin Yuan’s robe.

Lin Yuan moved.

He slowly extended his right hand, enveloped by a black flame.

The movement appeared sluggish yet was rapid.

Lightly gripping the fan.

Crack.

The folding fan instantly shattered into countless flying fragments.

"You?"

Sun Jitong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Yet Lin Yuan remained indifferent, his right hand creating countless afterimages in an instant.

A golden lotus light suddenly appeared in front of Sun Jitong’s chest.

"Five Seals, Diamond."

Lin Yuan’s gaze remained tranquil, his voice murmuring.

"What is this?!!!"

Feeling the overwhelming violent energy in front of his chest, Sun Jitong’s pupils shrunk as his hands gently pushed forward.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion shattered the scene.

In an instant, Sun Jitong’s body was blown away like a reed.

Crash.

Several mud houses turned into a cloud of dust.

Yet Sun Jitong’s momentum didn’t cease, crashing into a distant hillside like a meteor.

A large see-through hole in his chest left him lifeless.

He died with wide-open eyes, never understanding how Lin Yuan could kill him with a mere wave of his hand.

After everything, Lin Yuan looked calm and collected, his gaze sweeping over Chi Caijing.

At this moment, Chi Caijing looked like a startled quail, her face pale as paper. Only the waves on her chest undulated continuously with her trembling body.

Lin Yuan spoke softly.

"Senior Sister, Jiang Chengming’s methods are cruel, killing Sun Jitong and even sparing you not."

"Rest assured, I will definitely take Jiang Chengming’s head to honor your spirits in the heavens."

Chi Caijing’s face was devoid of blood, staring blankly as Lin Yuan stepped closer, one step at a time.
