Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Hu Tianhai was sitting in his room listening to his subordinates' report.

"Guardian, Lin Chen is still in his room at the auction house. He hasn't left for three days. I got the information from the maid who serves him. It seems he and Miss Lianyi have reached some kind of cooperation agreement. Lianyi is arranging goods for him, so he hasn't left yet."

Hu Tianhai didn't speak immediately after hearing this. He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest, as if he were thinking about something else. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes: "Go back first, and tell me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

After the door closed and the footsteps faded into the distance, a slow smile appeared on Hu Tianhai's lips.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, and muttered, "Selling spirit crystals and then exchanging them for resources... This guy is definitely the one who auctioned off the spirit crystals."

He walked to the window, looked at the street outside, and his eyes flashed: "A mere tenth-tier piece of trash. If we can get our hands on him, we can find out where the spirit crystals came from. Then the Myriad Laws Sect will be rich..."

He paused mid-sentence, then chuckled, a laugh much deeper than before: "Wait... what does this have to do with the Myriad Laws Sect!"

In the auction house's guest room, Lin Chen finished absorbing the last drop of Boundless Divine Liquid and opened his eyes.

He could feel that his soul had grown at least twice as strong.

Given his SSS-level talent base, this improvement is already quite remarkable.

Looking at the empty bottle in his hand, he let out a soft breath: "No wonder it's so expensive, the effect is truly outrageous." Then he sighed again, "With the aid of such a divine object, how strong must the soul power of those disciples of the Boundless Sect be?"

However, he frowned again and probed the depths of his soul with his divine sense. The pursuit mark had indeed faded a lot and was almost invisible.

But a trace still lingers deep within the soul, like a fine thorn that hasn't been completely pulled out—it doesn't hurt, but it's definitely still there.

"A twelfth-tier powerhouse, branded with their lifeblood, is really troublesome. A whole bottle of divine liquid couldn't completely wash it off." He thought for a moment, "But they shouldn't be able to remotely pinpoint my location anymore. As long as I don't get too close, I shouldn't be detected."

But this last remaining trace remains a potential problem.

He could sense that he was not yet able to safely venture into the territory of the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce, nor could he inquire about the progress of the destruction of their boundary.

He shook his head, stood up, stretched his shoulders and neck, and pushed open the door to leave the guest room.

Just then, Lianyi walked over with a smile: "You're out of quarantine? I've already ordered the goods you requested."

Lin Chen greeted Lianyi with delight: "That's great!"

He stopped in front of Lianyi, who didn't waste any time and directly took out a spatial ring and handed it to him.

Lin Chen took them and scanned them with his divine sense; the number was more than he had expected.

He looked up at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Lianyi smiled and said, "You're now a top-tier VIP of our Luofu Chamber of Commerce, so I've given you a 20% discount."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Then I shall accept your offer."

He is indeed in dire need of supplies right now, so there's no need to refuse the other party's kindness. He should keep it in mind and repay the favor when he has the chance.

Then, without lingering any longer, he bid farewell to Lianyi and left.

Lianyi knew he must be busy, so she didn't try to keep him any longer and simply saw him to the door.

Lin Chen had just stepped out of the auction house when he suddenly paused, then quickly regained his composure.

His brow furrowed deeply, the same apprehension he felt outside the private room returning: "Is the other party really that persistent?"

He then breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed things couldn't end well, but it wouldn't be so easy for the other party to control him either.

With a slight smile, he strode towards the exit of the black market.

Di Qi and Di Jiu quickly followed, with Hu Tianhai also following behind.

Lin Chen didn't linger at all and flew directly out of the Flowing Sand Star.

Once they reached the starry sky, all concealment failed. Hu Tianhai, trailing behind, frowned slightly when he saw the two men in black ahead of him.

Two eleventh-level minions dare to steal his prey?

Diqi and Dijiu were also observing behind them, and when they recognized Hu Tianhai, they were stunned for a moment.

They thought Hu Tianhai had come for revenge for stealing their spirit crystals, but the spirit crystals had already been sent out through the Deadly Tower's channels. What were they going to do?

After leaving the Flowing Sand Star, the anti-air formation became ineffective.

Lin Chen simply stopped, turned around and looked at the three tails behind him, and stopped in a hurry to leave.

Even if he can't escape the laws of space, he can return to the Blue Star Universe at any time, so there's nothing to panic about.

As the three approached, Lin Chen glanced around. The two men in black were the ones who bought the last set of spirit crystals, while Hu Tianhai was the only representative of the top ten forces who didn't buy anything at the auction.

They were all acquaintances. No wonder I had felt uneasy before; it turned out I was being watched by so many people.

"Are you three planning to rob me?" Lin Chen chuckled.

Diqi and Dijiu exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything. They stepped aside and frowned at Hu Tianhai.

The four people immediately formed a triangle.

Hu Tianhai was always suspicious, and seeing Lin Chen's attitude, he hesitated. After looking him over for a few moments, he smiled and said, "Young friend, you flatter me. I just feel that we are destined to meet, and I would like to invite you to visit the Myriad Laws Sect."

"Visiting someone? I'm afraid it's the kind of visit where you never come back?" Lin Chen looked at the other person with a mocking expression, his face full of disdain.

"Young friend, you're joking. My Myriad Laws Sect is one of the top ten powers in the Chaotic Domain. How could we possibly do such a thing?" Hu Tianhai said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking: Myriad Laws Sect might not do it, but Hu Tianhai could!

Di Qi and Di Jiu stood aside and watched coldly. They had figured it out: Hu Tianhai wasn't looking for them, but for Lin Chen!

But he couldn't help feeling irritated; Hu Tianhai clearly wanted to capture Lin Chen alive. Now, if they wanted to complete their mission, they had to get past this hurdle first.

Di Qi transmitted his voice: "What should we do? It seems like we can't kill him."

Di Jiu frowned deeply: "How should I know? Who knows what's gotten into this old fox that made him kidnap a level 10 person?"

Di Qi casually replied, "This old fox won't do anything without a reason. There must be something he wants from this kid."

This statement did serve as a reminder to Di Jiu.

Her mind worked quickly, and suddenly she realized something: "Could it be that this old fox suspects Lin Chen is the provider of the Life Crystals?"

"Him? How could that be?" Di Qi was skeptical.

"How is it impossible? A mere tenth-tier ant is being treated as a VIP by the Luofu Chamber of Commerce. I can't think of any other reason for such treatment." The more Di Jiu thought about it, the more convinced he became. "I should have thought of this sooner! If this gets back to the organization, it will be a great achievement for us!"

By then, it should be a 12th-tier Heavenly-level assassin who arrives; there's no need to worry about that old fox anymore.

"So what do we do now?" Earth Seven agreed with Earth Nine's analysis.

"How should I know? You send a message back first. In any case, this person cannot be killed for the time being." Di Jiu glanced at Lin Chen and said helplessly.
