On the third morning, Lin Jing had already prepared and was meditating within his room, waiting for the arrival of the Pill Master with the surname Wang.

About half an hour later, a knocking sound resonated.

Lin Jing opened his eyes, his lips curling up as he murmured to himself,

“Here they come…”

Then, he stood up, left the house, and walked towards the door.

At the doorway, Lin Jing opened the courtyard gate and saw the Pill Master Wang standing there.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Pill Master Wang then said, “Lin Daoyou, I presume you’re already prepared, let’s go…”

Lin Jing’s face showed a hint of apology as he responded,

“Pill Master Wang, I’m terribly sorry…”

Upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding couldn’t help but flash through Pill Master Wang’s mind.

“Could it be that some unexpected change is about to occur…”

He had already discussed and arranged the matter with Liu Yiyuan, who had also gone to lay in ambush.

If Lin Jing were to encounter some mishap and suddenly not go, that would put him in a difficult position to explain.

Thus, Pill Master Wang feigned annoyance and said,

“Lin Daoyou, what’s the matter? Didn’t we agree on this, or are you having second thoughts?”

Lin Jing shook his head, appearing helpless as he explained,

“Pill Master Wang, it’s not that I don’t want to go…”

“But just before you came, Steward Cheng suddenly paid me a visit, apparently,

Deacon Zheng has some arrangement…” “So, I was actually about to head to Yuebaolou.” After speaking, Lin Jing also let out a sigh,

“I really have no other choice…”

“How about we reschedule our visit to that Fourth Grade Pill Master’s cave abode for another day?”

Upon hearing this, Pill Master Wang was likewise bewildered and hurriedly inquired,

“Why would Deacon Zheng suddenly seek you out?”

“I suspect someone has been speaking ill of me to Deacon Zheng, and I doubt this visit will end well…”

“Pill Master Wang, you must be aware, ever since Deacon Zheng arrived, he has been targeting me.”

“Even in the last Offering Priest assessment, you were there.”

“You must know whom Deacon Zheng’s words were directed at during that gathering…”

Seeing Lin Jing speak thus, Pill Master Wang instantly understood and did not ponder any further.

He had previously heard from Liu Yiyuan a hint that Deacon Zheng’s targeting of Lin Jing was somewhat related to him.

But since Liu Yiyuan had only mentioned it in passing, he did not know the specifics. Therefore, he hastily comforted him,

“Lin Daoyou…”

“Could it be because of Elder Yu’s influence that you’ve enjoyed quite a few privileges…”

“And this Deacon Zheng, being rather upright, cannot tolerate these…”

“So perhaps that’s why Deacon Zheng is targeting you…”

Following this, Pill Master Wang continued,

“Since Deacon Zheng has some matter with you, then you should go ahead, and I’ll wait here for you.”

“If you return, you can find me anytime, and we can depart at any moment.”

After speaking, Pill Master Wang comforted Lin Jing a few more times and then left.

After Pill Master Wang’s departure, Lin Jing also left his home and headed for Yuebaolou.

He went straight to the backyard of Yuebaolou without stopping.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, Lin Jing slipped out of the back gate of Yuebaolou’s backyard.

After leaving Yuebaolou, Lin Jing arrived at a deserted alley and then entered the System Space.

Next…

He changed into a different set of clothes and used The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon to alter his appearance and aura before he left the System Space.

After leaving Fang Market, Lin Jing immediately mounted the Flying Sword he had just purchased in the black market and flew towards the Night Mist Mountain Range.

They had discussed the plan thoroughly before, and Lin Jing had a clear understanding of it.

He was also intimately familiar with their intended ambush location.

Flying along, Lin Jing soon entered the outer regions of the Night Mist Mountain Range and flew a bit further in.

Then, he withdrew his Flying Sword and descended.

Since Demonic Beasts roamed the Night Mist Mountain Range and flying in the sky made one particularly noticeable, it was very easy to be stealthily attacked by them.

Therefore, unless one’s cultivation was relatively high, most cultivators hardly flew on their swords after entering the mountain range.

Even though this was the periphery of the Night Mist Mountain Range, occasionally, some Foundation Establishment Demonic Beasts would appear.

Therefore, Lin Jing had to be extra cautious, not flying carelessly to avoid provoking the attack of the Demonic Beasts.

After landing, Lin Jing determined his bearings and then continued towards the ambush site he had previously identified.

The Wang-named Pill Master had created a deeper location in his lies to make them more credible, which was almost close to the inner regions of the Night Mist Mountain Range.

Thus, Lin Jing had walked for a long time in the dense forest and finally reached the ambush site he had premeditated.

This place had tall mountains and dense forests, and rarely visited by people. Lin Jing looked around and didn’t notice any traces of Demonic Beasts.

From here, walking further inside and crossing two mountain peaks would lead to the ambush location Liu Yiyuan had planned.

In fact, this place was not very far from the spot where Liu Yiyuan planned to ambush.

If it was too far, Lin Jing would be uncertain about the route the Wang-named Pill Master would take and whether he would pass by this location.

Precisely because it wasn’t too far away, the Wang-named Pill Master would have to pass by here if he wanted to deliver a message to Liu Yiyuan.

And Lin Jing was able to escape directly after completing all this.

Moreover, the distance Lin Jing left was sufficient. By the time the Wang-named Pill Master went to deliver the message and they rushed over here,

Lin Jing estimated he would have already made a clean escape.

Just as he arrived at the location, Lin Jing looked around and saw nothing unusual. Just as he was beginning to relax…

Suddenly…

A withered yellow branch snapped and lunged towards Lin Jing.

Startled, Lin Jing instantly controlled his Flying Sword, slashing at the dry branch.

The Flying Sword flashed by, and the branch rushing towards him was instantly severed into two pieces, with bright red blood spurting out from the break, splattering on the nearby ground.

The branch fell on the fallen leaves, thrashed twice, and then lay still.

At this moment, Lin Jing stepped closer to investigate.

Only then did he see clearly that what seemed to be a stick was actually a worm-like Demonic Beast with strength equivalent to the early stages of Qi Refinement.

Hence, it was slain by a single sword strike from Lin Jing.

However, this creature was quite unique, entirely withered yellow in color, resembling a dried branch.

At that moment, a scent of blood spread through the air, directly entering Lin Jing’s nostrils.

Lin Jing then felt something was amiss.

The Demonic Beast he had slain here, its scent of blood would surely be noticed by the Wang-named Pill Master, arousing his vigilance. In such a case, ambushing would become even more difficult.

It seemed that he had to change his position.

Following that, Lin Jing fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing had an idea.

Since this place was no longer suitable for an ambush, he would have to move a bit further ahead where it was more appropriate.

Then, Lin Jing turned and walked back a little.

The position he chose was not very far from where he had slain the branch -like Demonic Beast.

And then…

Lin Jing directly entered the System Space and initiated the Observation Mode.

In this way, he waited for the arrival of the Wang-named Pill Master.

Lin Jing knew that although the Wang-named Pill Master claimed to be waiting for him, it wouldn’t be long before he came looking to deliver the message to Liu Yiyuan..
