Chapter 132: Chapter 99 [I’m Not Pretending Anymore, I’m Laying My Cards on the Table]_l

After listening to the voice within the Sound Transmission Talisman, Lin Yi could not help but ponder. Previously, when Xu Zhi Wu had left, he had given him a Grandmaster-Level Sound Transmission Talisman, instructing him to activate it in the most challenging times, promising to come to his aid once.
Therefore, unless left with no recourse, Xu Zhi Wu would not trigger the Sound Transmission Talisman.
His first instinct was to wonder if this could be a trap, luring him in to kill him and take his possessions.
However, he quickly dismissed the possibility. He had always kept a low profile and never flaunted his wealth, so nobody would specifically target him.
More importantly, the message conveyed through the talisman revealed a location not even a hundred kilometers away from the Liu Yun Sect, within the sect’s territory. No one would be insane enough to attempt to trap and kill an Inner Sect Disciple there.
In a short span of time, various thoughts flashed across Lin Yi’s mind. He placed Zhi Ling into the Spirit Pet Bag. Then, he quickly left Qing Yun City, piloting his Flying Boat towards the location mentioned in the talisman.
Although he decided to head over, he didn’t plan on directly rushing in for the rescue. Caution was his main concern.
Aboard the Flying Boat, he activated two titles that increased his speed: [The
Road is at the Feet], a third tier that provided a 30% speed boost, and
[Meaningless Fight and Kill], a second tier which added 20% of speed.
When the [Meaningless Fight and Kill] title advanced to the second tier, all stats had approximately doubled. Once he disengaged from combat, all effects of the title would increase by 50%, and there was a 5% chance of triggering Instant Teleportation.
At that moment, with Lin Yi standing on his Flying Boat, he said to a familiar guard at the city entrance, “Disciple Zhang, Disciple Wang, could you attack me once?”
Without exiting combat state, this title provided only a 20% speed increase. As soon he left the combat state, the speed bonus would rise to 50%.
However, there was no information on how long this speed effect would last after combat. From previous trials, he realized the time varied depending on the intensity of the battle, but could last up to half a minute at the very least.
If, after disengaging from combat, the enemies continued to pursue him, the
effect would last until he completely shook them off.
“Brother Lin, you’re not joking, are you?”
“Yeah, Brother Lin, we haven’t offended you in any way.” The two guards tightened their expressions and quickly responded. Attacking an Inner Sect Senior Brother for no reason was a severe violation of the sect’s rules, not a joking matter.
“It’s fine. I just want to test the protective shield of this Flying Boat. Think of it as a friendly spar. Besides, there are so many witnesses here,” Lin Yi waved his hand and said.
The two guards exchanged glances, then both cast a fireball spell towards Lin Yi. The two fireballs directly hit the protective shield of the Flying Boat.
“It seems that this shield is decent. Thank you.” Expressing his gratitude with a bow, Lin Yi steered the Flying Boat toward the horizon. Sure enough, once he was out of combat, the effects of his title rose from 20% to 50%.
At that point, the combined speed boost from the two titles had reached 80%. He felt a sense of propulsion once again.
Under the limits of the Flying Boat’s speed, Lin Yi swiftly arrived at a mountain peak over a hundred kilometers away from the border of the Liu Yun Sect’s jurisdiction. Based on the location described in the Sound Transmission Talisman, this area was their likely route.
Subsequently, he used the Great Perfect Level Concealing Breath Technique to its limit, crouching in the grass on the mountain peak. In his camouflage attire, even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would not necessarily detect him if they were passing by from the side.
If Xu Zhi Wu and his companion failed to reach this location, he could only blame their bad luck.
After a while, Lin Yi saw a worn and rickety Flying Boat swaying as it flew ahead. Its rough condition was even worse than the one he had purchased from Zhang Wei Hu and it was making unpleasant noises.
However, this was the edge of Liu Yun Sect’s territory and there were no Spirit Veins or the like nearby. Hence, the passing cultivators were scarce.
Furthermore, even if someone did pass by, they wouldn’t casually intervene in a confrontation.
Crouched on top of the mountain, Lin Yi used Spirit Wood Technique to take a look and indeed saw Xu Zhi Wu standing on the Flying Boat, along with a
cultivator around the Qi Refining Level Four.S earch newn0vel .0 rg on google
Then, he looked further into the distance and detected a sinister energy fluctuation behind them, a few kilometers away. It was indeed of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, but the fluctuation originated from the ground, not the sky.
No wonder they hadn’t managed to catch up all this while – the pursuers were from the Ground Sprint Tribe, and didn’t have any Flying Artifacts. Otherwise, Xu Zhi Wu and his companion wouldn’t have had the opportunity to activate the talisman.
A Qi Refining Layer Four cultivator was willing to dig deep into his pockets to buy a Flying Boat, clearly indicating that he was from the Survivor Path and would run at the first sign of danger.
Even though the Flying Boat was very run-down, it must have cost at least forty to fifty Spirit Stones. For someone at the Qi Refining Level Four, that sum represented many years of savings.
Soon enough, Lin Yi spotted a Evil Cultivator from the mountain top, already making his way over at high speed. He estimated that the Evil Cultivator was about to capture Xu Zhi Wu and his companion soon. While running, the Evil Cultivator continued to cast spells towards the sky.
Unfortunately, a Qi Refining Sixth Layer wouldn’t be able to cast a spell that could span several kilometers. Even his own Grandmaster-Level Flowing Flame Flying Fire, when he was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, could only cover a range of up to two kilometers.
Looking at the Evil Cultivator below the mountain, he didn’t hesitate and used the Great Achievement Level Five Thunder Spell, the most damaging spell he possessed.
As he cast the spell, Lin Yi equipped the [Burst Out] title, entering a state of frenzy for one second in order to deal additional damage..
