Unless someone is serious enough to dispatch an army to search the Forest of Savages exhaustively, plowing this vast old woodland as if furrowing land to find that certainly untraceable monster lair.

But who would pay such a huge price for such a thing when evidence in all aspects is clear?

He had thought about solving this final loophole. However, to create a real, scrutinizable monster lair from scratch in a historic place like the Forest of Savages wasn’t easy. At the very least, it would need a year or two to carve and evolve.

He didn’t have time.

Unfortunately, an unexpected appearance of Lin Youxie disrupted his plan. Fortunately, Lin Youxie was alone and about to leave Qi Country, with no one to miss her.

After killing Lin Youxie, there were no ripples for more than three months.

He thought the matter was forever past.

Yet, he still cautiously retained the "evidence", still endlessly rehearsed the scenario should he be traced back to the Lei Family. He even started to create monster lairs in the Forest of Savages, truly concocting a nest of monsters. By then, Lin Youxie could completely be an unfortunate victim, accidentally running into monsters and being devoured. Just needed a bit more time...

At that time, he wouldn’t mind assuming the reborn identity of Lei Zhanqian to show goodwill and assist Jiang Wang in completing "revenge" in the Forest of Savages.

Once fellow disciples could become friends again through another way.

Yet...

Yet Jiang Wang sought him out at this moment.

Yet the fat man named Zhongxuan Sheng was too smart.

Yet after all, he was merely appearing as Lei Zhanqian, the real self was not present, unable to cover all bases, and insufficient to showcase full power, leaving clues to that mere Inner Mansion Realm woman.

Mind Dust Technique?

He was quite interested.

But before that, he must try to recoup some losses.

He had suspected that Zhongxuan Sheng saying to come to the Forest of Savages was to lure him.

But he couldn’t help but not check. Otherwise, if Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang truly discovered something in the Forest of Savages, with the resources two State Marquises could mobilize within Qi Country, waiting at home would be helpless awaiting death.

If he could stay hidden, he absolutely wouldn’t appear.

Because he had done so much preparation, poured so much effort, the opportunity for replacement Divine Skills was so precious, and Lei Zhanqian was such a great identity! He longed for Zhongxuan Sheng to truly believe him.

Before leaving, the fat man hinted at more cooperation with the Lei Family, wasn’t it a beautiful beginning?

Even if half-believing, continuing to struggle, continuing self-proving would be good.

He was confident in playing a game of chess within the rules of Qi Country, gradually merging with Lei Zhanqian’s Life Pattern in this cat-and-mouse game.

But Zhongxuan Sheng’s sentence "just need to establish some definite evidence," and Jiang Wang directly requested a troop dispatch, made him realize there was no more luck to count on.

So he stepped out of the shadows, came before these three people.

He certainly held no hatred for Jiang Wang, nor any other feelings, but he still needed Jiang Wang to feel pain. Because the development of things to this point was the precondition for recouping his losses.

"You know?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Looking at Jiang Wang, who pursed his lips silently, with swirling killing intent.

Zhang Linchuan said with a faint smile: "Your friend named Lin Youxie, at that time, she desperately fled, desperately fled... until she reached here."

He raised his hand, pointing at the half-decayed tree behind Jiang Wang, his eyes also gazing over, with an almost pathological, reminiscent emotion: "Stopped at this place; I didn’t allow her to run again. At that time, she kept looking in your direction, staring intensely. I could tell she seemed to have something to say to you."

"Really pitiful..."

He noticed Jiang Wang’s hand with bulging veins and was somewhat satisfied in his tone: "Pity me, your senior brother, I’m a person without humanity."

"I didn’t let her speak."

His expression so indifferent, ending the final description.

The hand Jiang Wang gripping the sword, almost bled.

That was excessively violent yet tightly repressed power.

At this moment, his and Zhang Linchuan’s energy locked each other, but Zhang Linchuan’s killing intent bounced back and forth between Zhongxuan Sheng and Shisi.

He couldn’t rashly make a move.

Because if a chance arose, Zhang Linchuan would not mind erasing Zhongxuan Sheng and Shisi.

Facing a Zhang Linchuan, at least of supreme God Arrives level, Zhongxuan Sheng and Shisi’s current individual combat power could only be burdens.

The night wind was no longer flowing.

The Ruyi Immortal Clothes still rustled.

Imagining his fury now, how much he desired to kill, yet how much he suppressed!

But his voice was calm: "Zhang Linchuan, if you intend to enrage me, then you’ve succeeded. Everything you’ve done today, I will make you regret. You may treat it as... my promise."

Zhang Linchuan was somewhat surprised.

He could fully sense Jiang Wang’s fury, his hatred, and his pain.

But this junior brother, once a person who got passionate and mad at the sight of a child’s skeleton, suppressed everything with astonishing willpower. Clearly, the hand gripping the sword was near explosion, yet the sword held showed no tremor from start to end.

The whole person was so sharp and taut, always maintaining a peak desperate combat state, giving him no chance to exploit.
