Tragic, Tragic, Tragic!

In the cave in the desolate mountain in the Gray Sea Region which bordered the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region, the instant Feng Lintao opened his eyes, his perception immediately spread out, enveloping the surroundings.

After confirming that his arrangements in the cave were normal, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

His eyes narrowed, revealing a dark glint and coldness.

Ever since he decided to head to the human race and borrow the protection of the human race to avoid being chased by Lan Yao and Yue Dong, he had made a plan.

lie wanted to be high-profile in the human race and attract the attention of the holy land, especially Lan Yao and Yue Dong’s. After that, he would complete a death performance at the critical moment.

He would make everyone think that he had died.

He would truly be free then!

While expelling half of his Demon Feather bloodline, he made this Liaoxuan avatar his new main body, thus truly escaping and turning from light into dark.

Be it the human race or the holy land, they were all within his scope of use.

“Although there were some twists and turns in the process and 1 was used by the human race, my plan didn’t deviate…”

Feng Lintao laughed coldly.

“Even if I had to give up half of my Demon Feather bloodline, causing my current cultivation level to be at the Nascent Soul realm… it’s fine. I’ll cultivate back very quickly.”

“Compared to this, freedom and survival are the most important!”

“However, 1 can’t treat the other parties as fools… So, whether I succeed or not will depend on the subsequent changes in the outside world.”

At the thought of this, Feng Lintao remained vigilant and left the cave quickly, lie followed the predetermined route and sped into the distance.

A while later, two blurry figures appeared in the sky.

It was Xu Qing and the Erniu who had relied on Erniu’s Dao of Tracing the Origin to find the location of this avatar.

They stood there but no one could see them. Even the gods would find it hard to detect them.

This was because what enveloped the two of them at this moment was an astonishing concealment formed by the wordless method.

Back then, this concealment hid them from the three gods to a certain extent, so it was quite easy to avoid Feng Lintao’s perception.

“Little Feng isn’t bad. He didn’t need us to push him and made himself into bait.”

Erniu licked his lips proudly, his eyes revealing anticipation.

“Little Qing, when we were in the outer sea previously, we were used as bait by Jade Flowing Dust to fish. At that time, I was already envious of Jade Flowing Dust. Ilaha, now, we can finally experience the joy of fishing!”

“Let’s follow him.”

Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction Feng Lintao had left in. He then nodded slightly and followed Erniu in the sky.

Just like that, time flowed by and very soon, seven days passed.

During these seven days, Xu Qing and Erniu didn’t use any methods to interfere. They only followed behind. This was because with Feng Lintao’s paranoia, he would probably instantly sense any movement caused by any actions in the outside world.

On the way, Feng Lintao’s journey was very smooth, although he would occasionally encounter some dangers, such as ferocious beasts, bizarre entities, or ferocious cultivators with evil intentions,

he either evaded, killed, or relied on concealment to ingeniously neutralize the danger.

Xu Qing and the captain’s judgment wasn’t wrong. Feng Lintao was indeed paranoid by nature.

Not only did this smoothness not reduce his vigilance, but it also intensified.

Finally, on the seventh day, when Feng Lintao was about to leave this desolate mountain area, his figure paused and he hid in a crack in a rock wall.

Hiding there, Feng Lintao’s expression was uncertain.

“It is too smooth. 1 keep feeling that something is amiss!”

“Everything is according to my plan and the smoothness of this journey is within my expectations. After all, I specially chose this place and the war in the outside world is continuing…”

“But…”

Feng Lintao fell silent.

“I have to think about it carefully. Did 1 make a mistake somewhere?”

After some thought, Feng Lintao organized his thoughts and confirmed three things he was worried about.

Firstly, he was worried that the human race would see through his plan and pursue him.

Secondly, he was worried that the human race was deliberately letting him go and using him as bait.

Thirdly, he was worried that Lan Yao and Yue Dong would guess his thoughts.

“If the human race sees through my disguise and pursues me, once they find me, although I’ll lose my freedom, my life will be fine for some time…”

Feng Lintao narrowed his eyes.

“However, if the human race had long seen through my plan and deliberately let me go… then they must have other motives. They are fishing.”

“You want to use me as bait to fish out all the spies?”

“If that’s the case, then the human race will definitely not announce my death. Instead, they will spread the news that I fled and lure the spies hidden in the holy lands in Wanggu to hunt me down…”

“Next, let’s see the situation. I’ll be able to determine if the three things I am worried about will happen.”

At the thought of this, Feng Lintao took a deep breath and left the crack in the rock wall, heading deeper into the Gray Sea Region. On the way after that, he didn’t only travel in desolate areas but would occasionally search for cities where cultivators from the Gray Sea Region gathered.

He wanted to gather information there.

Another seven days passed…

In a bustling city where cultivators were gathered, Feng Lintao sat in a simple restaurant and listened to the lively discussions in the surroundings as he fell into deep thought.

In these seven days, other than the war with the Demon Feather Holy Land, what he heard also included his own matters.

The human race had announced his death!

“Since the human race has really announced my death, the possibility of fishing is much lower.”

After taking a sip of the wine in the cup in front of him, Feng Lintao fell silent.

“However, it’s not completely impossible… I still have to confirm further if they are using me to fish.”

“In addition, I also need to confirm if the human race really thinks that I’m dead, if they will secretly pursue me, and… if I have successfully deceived the two women, Lan Yao and Yue Dong?”

“I need to verify it.”

Feng Lintao narrowed his eyes. Such thoughts that felt tiring to others were already instinctive to him.

At this moment, he finished the wine in his hand in one gulp and crushed the wine glass, wiping away all traces. He then left this city and continued forward.

On the way outside, he mostly moved in the wilderness, but he didn’t encounter any pursuers he thought, be it the human race or the spies from the holy lands.

They didn’t appear.

It was as though he had really deceived everyone.

However, Feng Lintao’s suspicious nature required him to verify this multiple times. As a result, he cleverly orchestrated several life-and-death crises. On several occasions, it even seemed as if he narrowly escaped death, experiencing what could be described as near-death situations.

Using this as a price to verify if anyone was secretly following him…

After a few times, the dying Feng Lintao barely confirmed that no one was following him.

Hence, he pretended to be relieved and sped up. However, it was unknown if he was unlucky… Three days later, when his injuries had recovered, he was actually targeted by a ferocious beast whose cultivation was comparable to the Spirit Repository.

In the brutal pursuit of the ferocious beast, he fought valiantly, employing every tactic he could muster, but to no avail. Ultimately, he was overpowered by the beast, which tore into his flesh piece by piece, devouring him completely amidst his agonized screams, until nothing remained.

Only then did the ferocious beast leave…

Several days later, as the ferocious beast rushed through the mountain forest, its eyes flickered.

“Looks like there’s really no one secretly following me…”

The ferocious beast sped away.

In the sky, Xu Qing and Erniu looked at the departing figure of the ferocious beast that was parasitized by Feng Lintao and felt speechless.

“Little Feng is too paranoid. What did he experience in the holy land to be like this?”

“I’ve really broadened my horizons!”

Erniu praised.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He looked at the figure in the sky and suddenly spoke.

“With Feng Lintao’s paranoia, I’m afraid what he has revealed now isn’t enough to truly reassure him.”

“It’s already like this but you’re still worried. Are you still worried that someone will follow you?”

Erniu was surprised.

And what he was surprised about became true five days later.

When the ferocious beast that Feng Lintao was parasitizing passed by a forbidden region, it was suddenly entangled by divine tentacles. It wailed and broke through its flesh, pulling it into the forbidden region.

Unexpectedly, it died.

Outside the forbidden region, a dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. At the side, Erniu felt a little tired.

“I can’t tell if this death was intentional…”

Xu Qing glanced at Erniu.

“Eldest Senior Brother, continue to unleash your tracing origin. Within my sound authority and divine consciousness, Feng Lintao’s life fluctuations are completely extinguished here.”

“If he still has a clone, it means that he deliberately died here. He probably can’t tell if someone is following him, so he died again to ensure that there’s nothing wrong.”

Erniu sighed.

“Little Qing, I suddenly understand how Jade Flowing Dust felt back then…”

As he spoke, he unleashed the Ruthless Dao of Great Five Bulls Tracing the Origin. A while later, Erniu suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth.

“This kid indeed has another avatar. Clearly, he didn’t activate it previously and it was in a dead state like corpses, so it avoided my detection. Now that he has activated it, I’ve locked onto it!”

“It’s still quite far from here…”

At the same time, in another direction of the Gray Sea Region, in a swamp, there was a body soaked in countless venomous bugs.

However, at the next instant, as a stream of vitality spread out from the body, a red line flashed on the forehead of the body. Its eyes… suddenly opened.

Amidst the rumbling, the aura of the Nihility erupted from the body. After intimidating the surroundings, the body rushed out and directly broke through the swamp, arriving in the air.

“Now, I should be completely safe!”

“Regardless of whether Lan Yao and Yue Dong saw through my plan or whether the human race sensed it, whether they are secretly following, capturing, or fishing…”

“Whether they are or not, it no longer matters!”

At the thought of this, a cold glint appeared in Feng Lintao’s eyes. His body swayed as he headed straight for the horizon.

This time, he truly moved forward at full speed.

“Leave the Eastern Wanggu and head to the Northern Wanggu!”

“Cultivating in the cold land of the Northern Wanggu under a million feet of ice will meet the requirements of the Liaoxuan Great Emperor’s inheritance. When I come out of seclusion…”

Feng Lintao’s eyes narrowed and his expression was cold. His speed increased.

At the same time, outside the human capital, there was also a hidden cave in the former Liaoxuan Race’s territory.

This place wasn’t far from where the golden rat was.

In the cave, two people were sitting cross-legged.

One of them had a withered body and no vitality at all. They didn’t look much different from a corpse.

Only there was a red line on their forehead that flickered with a weak red light. However, it was getting dimmer and dimmer, as though it could be extinguished at any moment.

He was also a clone that Feng Lintao had secretly arranged and hidden for his escape plan!

Only he knew how many similar clones he had set up.

However, there were also drawbacks to its technique. It was that time was limited. If it wasn’t used for a long time, once the red light on the forehead completely disappeared, the clone couldn’t be used.

For example, at that moment, the red light on the forehead of this clone was about to disappear.

Opposite the corpse, the other person meditating was a middle-aged man. He stared fixedly at the corpse, his eyes revealing endless hatred.

“Feng Lintao, you are really heartless. You refined Miss Yue Dong’s younger sister and achieved half of your Demon Feather bloodline. However, justice always catches up. Under the orders of Lady Lan Yao, all the Liaoxuan criminals in the holy land were sacrificed, and their blood was used to locate your Liaoxuan clones…”

I’ve finally found your clone!”

“Now, as long as you use this clone, you won’t be able to escape!”

This person gritted his teeth, as though he wished he could chew the corpse in front of him alive and swallow it.

This emotion was clearly… abnormal.

Just like Lan Yao back then.

His thoughts had been changed, affecting his emotions and messing up his karma. He had become a sentient puppet with emotions!

If Xu Qing was here, he would definitely be able to tell that this middle-aged cultivator’s karma thread was a mess by relying on his erase authority and the power of the scissors.

Those threads weaved together, outlining a human face.

It was Yue Dong’s face.

And this was Yue Dong fishing!

Xu Qing and Erniu used Feng Lintao as bait to get rid of Lan Yao.

As for Yue Dong, she used Feng Lintao’s clone as bait to fish for Feng Lintao’s origin soul!
