Chapter 427: Chapter 421: Ambush Daoist Randeng

The desolate Silent Sea suddenly having so many treasures appear out of thin air?

That, of course, is impossible.

These treasures appearing in the Silent Sea were gathered by Elder Bai, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and others.

They first gathered a batch of treasures, hid them in the Silent Sea, then spread the rumor that someone found treasures there.

This naturally led people to come to the Silent Sea in search of treasures.

Once someone truly found a treasure in the Silent Sea, they would naturally call friends to join them in the search.

That’s exactly why more and more people came to the Silent Sea.

As more treasure seekers joined, in their quest to find treasures, they would search every nook and cranny.

This way, no matter where Daoist Randeng hid, he’d be found by someone.

Once he could no longer peacefully cultivate in the Silent Sea, Daoist Randeng would naturally need to find a new place. Once he relocated, that would be Elder Bai’s cue to act.

...

...

"Could it be that the Silent Sea is truly a treasure-laden place, and it was only barren because it was brewing treasures?"

"Unfortunately, they are all low-tier treasures used by Tier Three and Tier Four, useless to me," Daoist Randeng muttered to himself.

These days, Daoist Randeng had changed his appearance and mingled with the treasure seekers, joining in the search.

However, he quickly discovered that the treasures appearing in the Silent Sea were all lower-grade treasures.

Since he saw with his own eyes someone finding a treasure in the Silent Sea, Daoist Randeng had no suspicion.

Though he remained unsuspected, the Silent Sea was no longer a place he could stay.

Daoist Randeng was disturbed by the throngs of treasure hunters, disrupting his cultivation.

"What rotten luck, I can’t stay in the Silent Sea anymore. Where should I go to cultivate?" Daoist Randeng pondered.

With Wu Nengsheng’s death, Daoist Randeng was free of constraints, a time when his cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, thus he did not want to waste time.

Yet, after leaving the Silent Sea, where to go became a problem.

No place was safe for Daoist Randeng.

After all, having come from Wu Nengsheng, the World Honored might still wish to kill him to eliminate any threat.

Moreover, Elder Bai and his group certainly wanted to kill him to avenge Wu Nengsheng.

Now, it seemed there was no place under heaven for Daoist Randeng to dwell.

However, Daoist Randeng was quite clever.

After much contemplation, he found a good place.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains."

"That’s right, the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

"The World Honored and Wu Nengsheng just fought there, no one would expect me to quietly return!" Daoist Randeng muttered to himself.

Being a man of action, Daoist Randeng immediately prepared to head to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Now, the battles in the Life and Death Trial Arena were over, and the treasure fragments belonging to the World Honored and Wu Nengsheng had been taken.

The Tier Two Peak powerhouses gathered in the Ten Thousand Mountains had already dispersed, and in the short term, no one would focus on the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Moreover, with the lesson from Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s battle, those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains certainly would not allow Tier Two powerhouses to fight there again.

He now suppressed his aura and snuck into the Ten Thousand Mountains, first avoiding disturbing those old immortals there.

If someone came to kill him, he would then reveal his aura, feigning the stance of a martyr.

At that time, those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains would definitely come out to stop the battle.

After all, the fight between Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored had already blasted away one-third of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

If another Tier Two powerhouse sacrificed themselves, another third of the Ten Thousand Mountains would be blasted away.

After considering all this, Daoist Randeng felt quite proud of his own cleverness, and mentally gave himself a thumbs-up.

Thinking to himself, "I’m such a clever little trickster!"

...

...

Inside the pavilion at the mountain’s summit.

Elder Bai’s turtle shell was inverted like a bowl, holding a pool of clear water within.

The image appearing in the clear water was none other than Daoist Randeng.

The turtle shell was Elder Bai’s own shell, and the clear water within was extremely precious.

Every eighty-one days, a single drop could be condensed; in a year, Elder Bai could gather four or five drops. This pool of clear water would take several hundred, even over a thousand years to accumulate.

Its effects were equally apparent.

Normally, when powerhouses of the same caliber calculate each other’s fate, they can only discern some vague information about the other.

But Elder Bai could display Daoist Randeng’s exact current scene, demonstrating the power of Elder Bai’s divination skills and the preciousness of the divination artifacts used.

The pool in the turtle shell was as clear as a mirror, visibly showing Daoist Randeng traveling swiftly.

"Where is he heading?" the handsome young man, the Golden Roc Demon, asked Elder Bai.

Before Elder Bai could answer, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder furrowed his brows and interjected, "It seems he’s heading toward the Ten Thousand Mountains."

Elder Bai nodded in agreement with the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s assessment: "Indeed, it seems he’s going to the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Wu Nengsheng’s evil corpse is surprisingly cunning. By hiding in the Ten Thousand Mountains, anyone trying to kill him would be stopped by the old immortals there."

"Those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains will not allow any Tier Two powerhouses to fight there again."

"A group of angry old immortals would make anyone hesitate to act rashly."

After hearing Elder Bai’s words, the burly man with a dark complexion, the Black Bear Spirit, asked in a gruff voice, "So what should we do?"

"If he escapes to the Ten Thousand Mountains, how do we kill him?"

"What to do?"

"What else can we do?"

"Naturally, we must intercept him before he reaches the Ten Thousand Mountains!" the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder declared resolutely.

Those old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains are indifferent and detached from worldly affairs.

Otherwise, they would not be reclusive and unconcerned with worldly matters.

If you fight within the Ten Thousand Mountains, you damage their home, and naturally, they will not agree.

But, so long as you don’t fight within the mountains, even if you fight at their doorstep, they would merely spectate and not interfere.

Thus, the next step in the plan is clear without further explanation.

Intercept and kill!

Undoubtedly, interception and killing are the most effective methods.

"There’s no time to lose!"

"Let’s set out now and intercept Daoist Randeng outside the Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"Looking across the land, Daoist Randeng has no allies, so we can act boldly without concealment!" Elder Bai declared firmly.

For Daoist Randeng, Elder Bai and his group were determined to kill.
