Chapter 1756: Good Friends Whose Fate Clashed

Chapter 1756: Good Friends Whose Fate Clashed


For the next two days, Lin Huang stayed in the sea to hunt.


He almost forgot about his encounter with the Raider earlier throughout those two days.


However, he encountered the tall and short brothers from the Snow Kingdom once again on the third day.


They were running away frantically.


It was not some sea monster that was chasing after them, but a member from the Snow Kingdom in a white robe just like theirs.


Without having to think about it, Lin Huang knew what was happening.


As colleagues from the Snow Kingdom, they definitely would not attack members from the same organization, even if they really had a grudge against each other.


Clearly, the pursuer should be the same as Lu Yi, a Raider spy.


After making sure that there were no other explorers around, Lin Huang put away his two G.o.d’s Figurine’s Combat Souls. He put on a mask and a white robe, and appeared in front of the pursuer in a flash, blocking his way.


“If I’m not mistaken, you should be a spy for the Raiders, right?”


As soon as Lin Huang said that, the pursuer turned around to run immediately.


He had not sensed how Lin Huang appeared at all, which proved that Lin Huang’s combat ability was greater than his. Not only that, he exposed his ident.i.ty directly. Therefore, he chose to run away without hesitation.


Even Lin Huang was stunned momentarily. He did not expect that the person would run away so straightforwardly without even fighting back.


However, no matter how quick he was, it was impossible that he could run faster than his Divine Telekinesis.


A Divine Telekinesis thread tied the man in white robe into a dumpling, sealing his G.o.d’s soul, Odyl and Divine Power. Lin Huang then pulled the person toward him.


A minor dao-level powerhouse who had mastered some 50,000 Dao seals was like a newly-hatched chick in front of Lin Huang.


Lin Huang did not bother to talk to him. He invaded his G.o.d’s soul directly to search his memories.


That white-robed man’s name was Bai Rong, who was, as expected, a spy that the Raiders planted within the Snow Kingdom.


He had the same mission as Lu Yi did, which was to hunt down Club members.


However, his hunting strategy was different from Lu Yi’s. He made a list before entering the mystic territory. He listed all of the people who were suspected to be Club members from the seven organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone. There were people from lord-level to minor dao-level.


He had also recorded down their information and tallied them with the people he investigated.


He would directly skip those who were not on the list. However, if he ran into people on the list, regardless of whether they were Club members or not, he would attack without hesitation.


The brothers he attacked were on his list too.


Bai Rong was even sure that the two of them were Club members.


Therefore, he attacked them without hesitation despite the fact that they were colleagues from the Snow Kingdom.


After all, n.o.body would know that it was him who killed them.


Moreover, following the plan, he would escape by faking his death as well. He would not return to the Snow Kingdom. Naturally, that was out of his concern.


After reading Bai Rong’s memory, Lin Huang killed him casually and put his corpse away into his storage s.p.a.ce.


That was the second spy from the Raiders.


However, Lin Huang still had no clue as to what the Raiders were really trying to achieve.


Going by Bai Rong’s memory, he did not know any more than Lu Yi did.


“I’ve run into the Raiders’ spies twice now.” Lin Huang frowned lightly. “This shouldn’t be a coincidence at all. It only proves that they have planted many spies.”


His instinct told him that the Raiders’ goal was definitely not as simple as killing Club members. That was probably just a disguise or facade on the surface for something else. These people definitely had other intentions.


It was just that he did not know what those were.


Not only that, there was no way for him to find out the Raiders’ mission a.s.signment.


Lin Huang knew that there was only one enemy, but he could not do anything about it. That aggravated him greatly.


He had almost forgotten about the incident with Lu Yi over the past two to three days.


Now that Bai Rong had appeared out of nowhere, his rage was triggered once again.


“Since that’s the case, I’ll visit all of the regions. I want to see how many spies you guys have planted!”



At the border of the sea, two figures, one tall and one short, finally stopped running.


“He seems to have stopped chasing us.” The tall one released a ragged breath.


“Why do you think Bai Rong wants to kill us?” The short one suddenly asked after a moment of silence.


“The two of us have no grudge with him. There’s only one possibility remaining if that’s the case.” The tall one clearly understood things now.


“Are you saying… he’s a Raider?! And he found out about our ident.i.ties?” The short one reacted instantly.


“Do you think there are any other possibilities aside from that?” The tall one asked in reply. “We’re colleagues from the Snow Kingdom. Notwithstanding any grudges which, even if we had bad blood with him, according to the rules, he shouldn’t have attacked us during the mystic territory’s exploration.”


“So do you think that the guy who attacked us in the foggy area was a Raider too?” The short one suddenly connected the dots to them being attacked a few days ago. “I don’t think we have grudges with anyone among the people partic.i.p.ating in the exploration. That man attacked us out of nowhere as well.”


“That’s possible.” The tall one nodded after thinking for a moment. “However, there’s a possibility that he’s purely a lunatic who loves to kill as well. He might have nothing to do with the Raiders at all.”


“There’s another thing that I find very strange…” The short one raised another question. “Why did they give up on killing us? Bai Rong especially, given that he had already discovered our ident.i.ties. Theoretically, it’s impossible that he would let us live. As long as we survive and get out of here, we’d definitely report him. Not only that, Bai Rong has mastered more than 50,000 Dao seals. If he really came after us, it’s unlikely that we can successfully escape.”


“I don’t understand that point as well.” The tall man shook his head. “Bai Rong definitely wouldn’t let us live. The only reasonable explanation I can think of as to why he didn’t come after us is that something is holding him up.”


“What about that guy from before? Was he held up too?” The short one asked.


“I don’t know.” The tall one could not understand the situation either.


“I wonder if we’re having a bout of bad luck lately.” The short one thought further. “Think about it. We didn’t encounter many monsters in the foggy area, and we were chased after by a lunatic. It’s the same case now that we’re here in the sea as well. We didn’t encounter many monsters and we were chased yet again. Misfortune keeps befalling the both of us since entering this mystic territory.”


“I’ve always been quite lucky previously. Maybe your bad luck is rubbing off on me,” the short one said, feeling annoyed.


“Or perhaps we’re not suitable to be in a team, and our fates clash with each other?” The short one suddenly said.


The tall man fell into silence momentarily while lowering his head. He seemed to be thinking, after which he spoke again.


“I suddenly recalled that we seemed to have encountered many situations when we teamed up for the first time in the ruins when we were at heavenly G.o.d-level. We almost died there.”


“Um… I think that happened.” The short one recalled and soon nodded. “It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing when we entered other secret zones and ruins a couple of times later either.”


“If this trend continues, maybe it’s best for us to explore alone,” the tall one suggested.


“I think that’s a great idea.” The short one agreed.


They instantly came to an agreement as they locked eyes.
