My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 612 Exposed
The southernmost part of the Heavenly River Dharma Realm lies a vast ice plain.

Lian Xi suppressed her surprise, a ruthless glint flashing across her face: "Playing tricks, get out here!"

Gah!
A rough, hoarse cry suddenly rang out from Lianxi's body, and a ball of bright yellow flame burst forth from beneath his feet.

boom!
Like rolling waves, flames suddenly erupted from the center of the stream, spreading outwards in all directions. Within a hundred meters, it instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Got you!"

He grinned maliciously and suddenly turned his head to look at the area diagonally behind him.

A tall, slender figure had appeared there without anyone noticing. He was shrouded in black smoke, his face blurred and indistinct.

"Slay Three Thousand Crows!"

Lianxi let out a low growl, and his gray cloak suddenly billowed out.

Puff puff……

Countless flames the size of human heads burst forth from his body, like a burst of fireworks, filling the sky and the ice in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, countless crows made of flames, accompanied by eerie wailing cries and trailing bright yellow tails of flame, converged from all directions, launching a dense bombardment on the shadowy figure without any blind spots.

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, instantly shattering the thick ice layer within a radius of 500 meters into ice shards.

"Haha! Die!"

Hundreds of meters away, bright yellow flames flickered, and Lianxi emerged from the flames, grinning as he looked at the distant firelight.

This person is probably Lei Cheng.

It's no wonder that someone who has mastered the ultimate technique of concealing their presence can approach you silently.

"It's a pity you shouldn't have gotten so close to me."

Lianxi stared intently at the center of the flames.

The Dragon Ball's secret mechanism must be in this person's hands.

He quickly pulled out a black gourd covered with golden patterns, uncorked it, and pointed it into the distance.

"Hey! It seems the Spirit Lord doesn't really want Qiu Jinwu to get the Dragon Ball's secret." Lian Xi's lips curled up, her face full of a playful smile.

This gourd was a magical artifact bestowed upon me personally by the Spirit Lord, capable of temporarily containing the spiritual energy of the Dragon Pearl. The purpose behind this is self-evident.

He couldn't care less about the power struggle between the two big shots; all he cared about was getting the inspiration.

He channeled his magic into the black gourd, his eyes fixed on the distant, towering flames, ready to seize any potential spiritual energy that might appear.

But as he watched, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Lei Cheng...why isn't he calling out?"

He has studied fire magic for decades, and the Three Thousand Crows Killing Technique is his strongest offensive secret technique.

If it weren't for the secret techniques and artifacts that could ward off fire, no one of the same level could have withstood his attack just now.

Lei Cheng hadn't even refined his divine aperture yet, and he was practicing the traditional thunder techniques of the Goose-Sheep Path, so there was absolutely no way he could block it.

But just because they couldn't stop him doesn't mean Lei Cheng would offer no resistance.

There's no sign of struggling at all now...

Not good!

Lian Xi's alarm bells rang loudly, but before he could react...

That calm voice from before seemed to whisper like a demon again in my ear.

"Your fire magic is excellent. Is the secret technique you used to explore and discover this place also as exquisite?"

Lianxi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively formed a hand seal.

boom!
His entire body suddenly exploded, turning into countless fireballs in the blink of an eye, which then scattered in all directions.

When they reappeared, they had already run seven or eight miles away.

That person is definitely not Lei Cheng!
Lianxi shouted in her heart.

It's impossible for Lei Cheng to emerge unscathed after the massacre of three thousand crows.

That person's cultivation level is definitely above his own!

escape!
We must escape!
Lian Xi's face was tense; she didn't dare look back. Her whole body was engulfed in flames as she fled rapidly northward with a thunderous roar.

But they had only flown two miles.

boom!
An invisible pressure suddenly appeared beside me.

He felt as if he had stumbled into sticky mud, his previously rampaging speed suddenly reduced. In just a few breaths, he was completely frozen, like a mosquito fixed in place by amber.

hold head high!
Five enormous, jet-black dragon heads, each as tall as a five- or six-story building, suddenly appeared beside me.

Amidst swirling black smoke, sharp, dark dragon horns, and gleaming, icy eyes, just one glance was enough to freeze Lian Xi's soul.

This pressure...

The foundation of the Tao and its manifestations?!
hum!
Amidst the flickering black smoke, Chen Mu appeared beside Lian Xi.

“Lianxi?” He raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So it was you who orchestrated the upheaval at Yun Chong Lower Courtyard back then."

The moment Chen Mu saw the other person's face, many thoughts came to mind. The other person's state was clearly different from those of them who had been forced into the Heavenly River Dharma Realm.

The Elder Lian before us probably joined the Great Qian Dragon Locking Academy a long time ago.

"You...you are Li Moliang!" Lian Xi exclaimed in disbelief.

Now it was Chen Mu's turn to be shocked.

He was currently using the alias Gongsun Sheng, but Lian Xi called him Li Moliang. This guy knew his hidden identity a long time ago.

"What else do you know?" Chen Mu frowned.

"Would I live if I told you?"

"I'm not some great villain, why would I take someone's life so casually?" Chen Mu said, clearly displeased.

"If you draw this black smoke that's seeping into my body out, I'll believe you." "I'd like to, but there's nothing I can do." Chen Mu helplessly shrugged.

"My secret technique is very powerful, but it comes at a price. I can only barely control the direction of the attack; I can't control the finer details."

"Why don't you try to be more understanding?"

Minor details?

Uncontrollable?

Listen to the nonsense you're spouting!
"It seems you disagree." Chen Mu sighed. "Fortunately, I also know some techniques of bewitching the mind. Why don't you give it a try?"

A method to bewitch the spirit?

Anyone who gets in contact with that stuff will become stupid!

I don't want to become an ignorant and clueless idiot!
"I said!"

"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!" Lianxi immediately shouted in surrender.

"you say?"

"But I don't believe it."

This person looks very slick; what if they're setting a trap for me with their words...?

Or maybe we should just kill him.

The moment this thought popped into his head, even Chen Mu himself was startled.

I was a kind person, how did I become so cold and cruel?
This damn world! I've finally been affected by this chaotic world.

"You have to believe me!" Lian Xi said anxiously, her eyes darting around, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.

"Give me a reason?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Qiu Jinwu is coming soon! You must believe me!" Lianxi shouted anxiously.

If I secretly steal the Dragon Ball's spiritual energy behind Akira's back, and that guy finds out, I'm doomed!
“I’ve been gone for too long; Akijin must have noticed.”

"Now that you've obtained the Dragon Ball's secret, he will definitely fight you to the death."

“This place is no place to stay any longer; you must come and leave.”

Dragon Ball's magic? What's that?
Our location has been exposed?!
You fucking deserve to die!
Chen Mu's expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Lian Xi.

"Don't kill me! I can interfere with Qiu Jinwu's tracking technique. Keeping me alive will be very useful!"

……

Inside the ice cave.

Chen Mu stood in front of the bottomless pool, his face grim, and beckoned the Lei brothers, Lei Cheng and Lei Hong.

Upon learning that Akigane might attack, the two brothers felt their hearts pound with fear.

For a moment, he wished he could strangle Lianxi, who had brought about this change.

"Can't we find another place to hide?" Lei Hong asked worriedly.

“The bottomless pool can’t be moved,” Chen Mu said, shaking his head.

"How long can you stall?" He turned to look at Lianxi.

"At most three days." Lianxi quickly said, "Qiu Jinwu is at the peak of the Dao Foundation. If we really want to find him, I can't hide it for too long."

Three days...

A total of 2,091 ghosts have completed the transfer of the Yellow Springs Crossing Secret Technique. The remaining 1,000-plus ghosts simply cannot be transferred within three days.

but……

"Three days it is." He looked at the Lei brothers, Lei Cheng and Lei Hong: "Send out the hunting team overnight. From now on, for the next three days, everyone will work around the clock to capture as many strange beasts as possible to fill the bottomless pool."

"Three days from now, no matter what, we must set off to leave this grotto."

The two men immediately clasped their hands in a solemn gesture of respect and turned to mobilize the crew of the Pingning.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Chen Mu asked Lian Xi.

"I will cast a spell now and do my best to interfere with Qiu Jinwu's investigation." Lian Xi said solemnly, "Rest assured, I will do my best to handle this matter."

“We’re in the same boat now. If we really run into each other, Qiu Jinwu won’t hold back against me.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

"Tell me your interference technique, I want to watch you use it."

Lianxi nodded immediately, and without hesitation took out a mustard seed jade talisman and a piece of animal skin scroll.

"My tracking technique originates from the Nightmare Spell. To find a target, you must intercept their aura beforehand."

“Aki Kingo is cunning and shrewd; he must have intercepted my aura.”

"Fortunately, I was prepared and made several substitute straw men as a precaution."

"I have buried the straw figures all over the world within the Heavenly River Dharma Realm. Once activated, they can interfere with the tracking technique. If Qiu Jinwu wants to find me, he will have to go there in person to verify and investigate."

“I can also cast a spell on Lei Cheng and the others to temporarily confuse their auras. Even if Qiu Jinwu has the aura imprint of the Goose Sheep Dao Qi Refiner, it will still take him a lot of time to find this place.” Lian Xi said solemnly.

Looking at the contents of the Nightmare Victory Secret Technique and combining it with what Lian Xi had said, Chen Mu was certain that the other party was not lying, and his heart eased once again.

"Then let's make our move and delay Akijingo as much as possible."

"I will do my utmost to delay Qiu Jinwu for three days!" Lianxi solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Yes, that would indeed delay Akijingo for three days.

But if the Spirit Lord were to investigate...

Ah!
Qiu Jinwu would certainly not forgive Qiu Jinwu for coveting the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, but the Spirit Lord was different; it was more than happy to intercept Qiu Jinwu's resources.

In just two days, the Spirit Lord will discover my location. At that time, not only will I gain the spiritual opportunity, but my life will also be spared!

Lianxi's mind raced, but her expression remained unchanged.
