Chapter 274: Ring Within Ring, Plan Within Plan

"You mean, Wang Chengji... no, is dead?!"

Inside the cave, bloody flying ants buzzed, and as they flew, they seemed to form a wriggling blood mist, which looked extremely penetrating.

In the blood mist, Lin Chen's figure appeared, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised at the news they brought.

In his opinion, a true successor is not so easy to kill.

Not to mention the disciples of the big forces, who have many methods, the top combat power brought by the inheritance of the gods alone is enough to crush ordinary monks of the same level.

Therefore, blood cultivator Lin Chen had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

On the one hand, it's because he's busy with his own business.

On the other hand, these monks who relied on opportunism to advance to the foundation building, their combat power is worse than ordinary casual cultivators. The latter can even fight one against three, let alone the Golden Pill Sect with the inheritance of the transformation of gods.

Therefore, Lin Chen felt that suppressing them was just a matter of time.

But under such circumstances, the true successor of Wang Cheng died? !

"And he also has golden elixir methods. Even if there are more than ten or twenty blood cultivators surrounding him, even if he can't be defeated, there shouldn't be any problem in escaping?" Lin Chen frowned and looked at the two people in front of him.

The latter immediately knew what he meant, and the sect master immediately explained: "The last scene from the soul lamp showed that he was besieged by several demon cultivators and died."

Lin Chen took it and looked at it carefully, but the scene was too blurry. He only felt that it had an unexpected sense of familiarity, but without the corresponding breath, he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"...That's it. We don't have enough information. It's just random guessing no matter what. Let's go to the scene to have a look and give me his soul lamp." Lin Chen thought for a while and finally said this.

"...Yes." The sect master hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the soul lamp.

The next moment, Lin Chen's figure exploded into a sky full of blood ants, wrapped around the soul lamp, and disappeared into the passage.

The sect master and the elder looked at each other, with various expressions of shock, confusion, suspicion, etc. flashing in their eyes, but in the end they did not say anything, but gritted their teeth and left the place quickly.

Not long after, Lin Chen also led a group of law enforcement monks and rushed straight to Yunlaifang City.

Soon, he came to the sky above Yunlaifang City. Apparently a horrific battle took place here, so that the ruins were destroyed to the ground.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he went down to observe.

"They must have been ambushed, they died very thoroughly, and they also eliminated most of the traces before leaving..."

Lin Chen finally came to this conclusion, but using the same breath soul curse method, he still collected some remaining breath and made a tracking soul lamp.

"To the north?" Lin Chen looked at the direction of the soul lamp flame in his hand and looked a little confused. He casually asked the monk aside, "Where to the north?"

"Tell the elders that the north is Jiataifang City."

Jiataifang City? A somewhat familiar place...

Lin Chen's eyes moved and he said, "Contact them over there to see what's going on there? At the same time, tell them that I want to go there."

"yes!"

The disciple on the side responded in a low voice, stretched out his hand to touch his arms, and looked for the communication talisman to send a message to Jiataifang City.

I touched it out and pointed it at the talisman, and the talisman lit up with aura.

But this time, the spiritual light that went smoothly every time did not condense and take shape. It seemed that it was disturbed by some kind of interference, and there was a "crackling" sound.

It took a while before the memory was successfully formed.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen frowned at the side.

He had been away from Qingyun Sect for more than 20 years and had no time to understand the communication system, so he couldn't help but ask about the current situation.

"This is communication interference. It is a normal phenomenon on the front line, but there is actually one in the rear. It is a bit strange, but it is not serious. Communication can still be done." The disciple replied.

Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he just ordered people to drive the flying boat towards him.

On the flying boat, facing the strong wind that was blowing head-on, Lin Chen's mind was constantly racing.

"Wang Cheng's death, I always feel like something is wrong..."

"It's obviously just blood cultivating chaos, but it can lead to the fall of the true inheritance. What went wrong?"

"What is the current situation? What conspiracy does the demon cultivator have? Everything is unknown..."

Lin Chen withdrew his thoughts and slowly analyzed the current situation. At the same time, he thought about everything he had experienced when he came back, as well as the intelligence information he had collected.

"The demon cultivator's conspiracy has been laid out for so long. I believe it will not be destroyed so easily, so maybe we can start based on this aspect..."

"The reason why the current situation is confusing is because I have become the biggest variable in the game and have unexpected top combat power, so it has confused the current situation."

"But if we use the elimination method to eliminate the extra variable like me, how will the current situation develop?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If he did not exist, then the current situation should develop like this.

The demon cultivators replaced the casual cultivators who entered their territory, mixed the troubled people into the Qingyun Sect area, and then formed human-headed evil creatures to successively attack several cities near the front line.

In order to kill the evil monsters, restore order, and rebuild the city, Qingyun Sect will definitely invest a lot of energy again. In the case of insufficient troops, it is easy to ignore the problem of blood cultivators causing chaos.

When the top leaders of Qingyun Sect noticed something was wrong, the blood demon technique had already wreaked havoc on one side, and the blood cultivators were already strong, like a thorn in the flesh, firmly rooted in the territory of Qingyun Sect, completely destroying the order of their own territory.

The current situation has developed to this point, so what will the demon cultivators do next?

"Although I destroyed one of their steps, the layout of more than 30 years is not so easy to be destroyed, so the conspiracy is still going on in general. So now, what is their next step?"

"Take advantage of the chaos in the rear and concentrate all forces to break through the front line?"

This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind for a moment, but he quickly ruled it out.

If it were in the mortal dynasty, with the chaos in the rear, the front line could have been broken through in one fell swoop and marched straight in.

But in the world of immortal cultivation, there is a third-level formation guarding, and it is not so easy to break through the front line.

Of course, if the golden elixir among the demon cultivators takes action, it is not impossible.

But Lin Chen really didn't believe that those Qingyun Sect's Jindans who had lived for hundreds of years and had rich experience in struggle were really too busy to spare any time.

And if the departure of the three Jindans would lead to the failure of Qingyang Zhenren's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, then the demon cultivators would have launched a large-scale attack at all costs, so why did it drag on until now?

So Lin Chen estimated that the Qingyun Sect's Jindans only played an auxiliary role in the breakthrough, but not a key role. The breakthrough would not fail as soon as they left.

So if the hostile Jindan really took action, Changqing Zhenren and others would not really sit back and watch the show. Taking action was inevitable!

"Then in this case, what is the point of the demon cultivators doing this at such a high cost?" Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled.

As long as the Jindan Zhenren didn't take action, the front-line formation would not be so easy to break even if there was a traitor.

But if the front line was not broken and there was no overall collapse, no matter how chaotic the order in the rear was, Qingyun Sect could spend time to slowly mobilize the cultivators to calm down... Wait, mobilize the cultivators? Calm down?

As if he had figured out something, Lin Chen's face suddenly changed.

No matter which force it is, as long as there is chaos in their territory, they will definitely mobilize monks to calm it down.

Is this process essentially a division of troops, which leads to the behavior of high-level monks on their side being left alone?

And if I am the leader of the hostile force, the Xuanyin Sect's demon cultivators, and encounter a chaos in the enemy's rear, I have to divide my troops to suppress it, and I have limited manpower. What will I do?

Lin Chen gently closed his eyes, as if he had replaced his identity with the leader of the demon cultivators, Great Yin Zhenren:

"In the world of immortal cultivation where great power belongs to oneself, the gains and losses of a city or a pond are not important. What is important is those top cultivators!"

"So, when Qingyun Sect divided its troops to suppress the rebellion of the blood cultivators, we directly mobilized our excess foundation-building forces, sneaked into the territory of Qingyun Sect, and in the form of a cluster of teams, we surrounded and killed all the lone foundation-building cultivators in the territory of Qingyun Sect!"

——

Boom——

In the sky, there was a sound of thunder rolling, and dark clouds began to gather in this direction, as if a storm was coming.

In the sky, there was a roaring sound of breaking wind, and then the flying boat that Lin Chen was riding landed above Jiataifang City.

But at this moment, not far from Jiataifang City, on a small hillside.

Crack~bang!

Amid the rolling thunder and lightning, the sky and the earth suddenly turned white, illuminating the seven figures standing quietly on the hillside in the endless darkness.

The strong wind blew up a corner of the black hood, revealing the pale face underneath and the strange and subtle arc above the corner of the mouth:

"The fish... is hooked, and it's a big fish."

"And I didn't expect it to be an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."

Boom!

The lightning flashed again, but in the interweaving of light and darkness, no one had disappeared in the original place.
