Chapter 203: Using Their Own Scheme Against Them, Sneaking into the Lair

In the valley.

Chen Ansheng originally wanted to cultivate for a while here.

However, a sudden breeze brought him a message of crisis!

“A bunch of small fries want to set me up?”

Just a moment ago, Chen Ansheng had overheard whispers coming from the bushes not far away.

This was a listening method he had gained from observing blood-wing bats. Within a radius of several hundred meters, he could discern all sounds not made by nature!

Learning that these people were trying to notify Lu Lingxi, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, to come and deal with him, Chen Ansheng devised a plan!

He quickly searched around and found a natural cave.

“Yuling, we’ll hide in this cave to cultivate and avoid disturbance from outsiders.”

“Okay, Ansheng bro.”

Chen Yuling had no idea that danger was approaching, but she naturally trusted Chen Ansheng and did whatever he arranged.

“Haha, that foolish boy isn’t leaving; he’s finished now!”

Seeing Chen Ansheng set up nearby, Mu Qingshu and the others were overjoyed and quietly positioned themselves outside, waiting for Lu Lingxi to arrive.

Inside the cave.

Mu Qinglian had already been knocked unconscious.

“Yuling, do you know that Lu Lingxi occupies the position of that Spirit Spring?”

Chen Ansheng asked.

“Yes, I know.”

Chen Yuling nodded and continued, “It’s on the mountain seven hundred miles to the east. When the assessment started, I was very close to that Spirit Spring, but those who entered the path before me occupied the place, and I was driven down the mountain.”

“Okay.” Chen Ansheng nodded and said, “Let’s move immediately and raid Lu Lingxi’s lair.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuling shivered and exclaimed, “Ansheng bro, we can’t go! Not to mention that Lu Lingxi has successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even her followers, all of whom became experts in less than ten days, are now likely at the Qi Refinement stage. We definitely can’t defeat them.”

“Don’t be afraid.” Chen Ansheng smiled and said, “Our position is already exposed. That woman Lu Lingxi has a grudge against me, and she will surely lead a large team to come after me. We’ll use their own tactics against them and raid her lair!”

“This?” Chen Yuling was surprised and asked, “Ansheng bro, how do you know she’ll come looking for you?”

“Leave that to me.” Chen Ansheng appeared confident. “When the time comes, you’ll be responsible for gathering the items, and I’ll destroy the Spirit Spring, infuriating that woman and her gang.”

“Alright, whatever you say, Ansheng bro!” Chen Yuling felt a little excited but still had a concern, saying, “But what if they take everything with them?”

“That’s impossible.” Chen Ansheng replied, “Everyone has already become mortal. Even if Lu Lingxi has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she can’t make storage bags. The resources they’ve gathered can only be stored on the mountain!”

“You’re right.” Chen Yuling nodded; the thought of doing something sneaky was quite thrilling.

“Okay, you hug me from behind. I’ll use the Color Dragon Concealment Technique to take you out.”

The so-called Color Dragon Concealment Technique was a hiding skill Chen Ansheng had derived from observing a chameleon-like earth dragon that could change colors. It was impossible for the likes of Mu Qingshu and the others, who were just entering the Qi Refinement stage, to see through it.

Chen Yuling didn’t hesitate and naturally wrapped her arms around Chen Ansheng’s waist, resting her entire body on his back.

As for the unconscious Mu Qinglian, Chen Ansheng directly bound her with vines and left her there.

Then, Chen Ansheng’s exterior changed, turning into a mound of dry grass.

After exiting the cave, Chen Ansheng moved with the breeze, quickly blending into the dense forest, escaping Mu Qingshu and the others’ line of sight.

……

Seven hundred miles away.

In a mountain abundant in spiritual energy, Lu Lingxi and her group were meditating and cultivating.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi opened her beautiful eyes, and a layer of frost seemed to settle on her face.

“What’s wrong, Sister Lingxi? Did Zhou Taihu bring people to cause trouble?”

The two beautiful women guarding her side noticed Lu Lingxi’s grim expression and immediately became anxious.

The Zhou Taihu they mentioned was the first to step into the path, now at a similar cultivation level to Lu Lingxi.

Both sides had already fought once over a piece of spirit fruit land, suffering mutual injuries.

“Not that.”

Lu Lingxi shook her head and said coldly, “It’s that lecherous thief.”

“What!”

The faces of the women darkened instantly.

“That dog lecher ruined my reputation; this time, I will definitely catch him and settle accounts!”

Lu Lingxi shared the same idea.

That scoundrel had once, relying on his higher realm, humiliated her repeatedly and took liberties with her. How could she leave this grudge unpunished?

“Count our forces; I will personally capture that lecher!”

Lu Lingxi commanded coldly.

“Sister Lingxi, what is that lecher’s strength now? Do we really need everyone to go after him?” one woman asked.

“According to the report from the messenger, that guy injured two Qi Refinement experts with just a roar of a tiger, so his strength is not low and we can’t be careless,” Lu Lingxi replied.

“But if we all go, what if Zhou Taihu brings people over?”

Lu Lingxi smirked and said, “I’ve already set up a Thunder Cloud Formation. If he dares to sneak attack my treasury, he won’t come out unscathed! Follow me; just leave a few people to guard.”

“Unexpectedly, Sister is able to set up formations already; that solves the problem!”

The two female guards quickly moved and soon gathered more than twenty disciples from the Lu family, preparing to go down the mountain to capture Chen Ansheng.

A distance of over seven hundred miles.

With the jumping technique Chen Ansheng had comprehended, he could reach in just a few hours.

Even with Chen Yuling in tow, they would only be delayed by a little over an hour.

As they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already late, and the bright moon floated in the sky.

“Ansheng bro, this is it!”

The closer they got to their destination, the more nervous Chen Yuling became, feeling as if her heart would jump out of her throat.

“Good, you lead the way, straight to Lu Lingxi’s main base!”

“Okay!”

Under the moonlight, the two traversed the desolate mountain.

Though the mountain path was rugged, making it difficult for ordinary people to traverse, it posed no challenge to someone as powerful as Chen Ansheng at the Qi Refinement stage!

Before long, they passed through a white mist area and reached the mountainside.

There were several wooden houses here, and beside the houses flowed a small creek running down from the mountain, which was the so-called Spirit Spring.

“Ha.”

Chen Ansheng took a deep breath.

“Rich in spiritual energy, it is indeed a treasure for cultivation; it’s just a pity it’s been occupied by the Demoness—no, that woman Lu Lingxi.”

“Ansheng bro, what are you muttering about? I’m, I’m so scared.”

Chen Yuling trembled with anxiety, continuously tugging at Chen Ansheng’s clothes.

“Don’t be afraid! There are a total of four people: three in the Qi Refinement stage, one is useless. You handle that useless one; the other three are mine.”

Chen Ansheng listened carefully for a while and determined the number from their breathing.

Chen Yuling wore a black line on her face, realizing from the tone that she might be considered a useless person in Ansheng bro’s eyes as well.
