Chapter 430: 800 Eyes Per Person! Showboating Leads to Death (Part 2)

Not long after they started chasing, one of the brothers suddenly said, "Big Brother, I just realized, if we can find these traces, others can too."

"Perhaps soon, everyone will be chasing after us, so we..."

"!!!!"

"We must hurry!" Big Brother's face darkened. "As fast as they chase, we must catch up to them at the fastest speed and take away the treasure, otherwise, we will have no advantage at all."

He wasn't worried about others mistaking them for the one who left the traces, after all, they weren't fools. If they didn't believe it, they could all chase after them.

But the problem was, someone had impersonated him!

This was already very annoying, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and was the first to discover the traces and pursue them. So, it could also be said that he had turned misfortune into fortune and seized the initiative.

As long as he could deal with the opponent before the others reacted and caught up, then it wouldn't be a loss, but a huge gain.

But if he couldn't...

Then wouldn't this loss be for nothing?

...

"Have they caught up?"

Lin Fan's eyebrows furrowed.

With the help of the Sky Gazing Mirror's vision, he could clearly see that three people were already rapidly chasing after him along the path he had taken.

"It's you who impersonated that person."

Wu Jie reminded him, "His reaction is very fast, and he just happened to meet one of your incarnations, so he quickly realized he was tricked and found the traces you left uncontrollably."

"As expected, this tail..."

Lin Fan was helpless and could only use the Xing Character Secret Technique to the extreme, quickly escaping.

The Xing Character Secret Technique was the fastest in the world.

But the prerequisite was to cultivate it to the highest realm.

To cultivate the Xing Character Secret Technique to the highest realm, his current cultivation was still far from enough. At the very least, he needed to become an immortal and continue to make progress after becoming an immortal.

Now?

It could only be said that he had achieved a small success.

Fortunately, even with just a small success, the speed of the Xing Character Secret Technique was still astonishing.

Those three clenched their teeth and ran for their lives, but they couldn't catch up, and instead, the distance between them only grew...

"That guy can really run!"

"Keep chasing. As long as these traces remain, I don't believe he can escape."

"We still have the advantage, we must not give up!"

"..."

"In a short time, my speed has the advantage, but it's limited to within this world remnant. Outside, the complex environment and various crises of the Multiverse Abyss..."

For now, Lin Fan had created some distance, but he didn't feel the slightest relief.

Within this world remnant, charging recklessly didn't pose much of a crisis, and even if there were threats, they couldn't reach him. But the Multiverse Abyss was a different story.

Even with the enhanced vision, he still needed to dodge, take detours, and more.

He needed to think, needed to change directions.

Sometimes, he even had to backtrack and choose other paths.

However, those chasing behind him didn't need to consider these things. As long as they followed the traces he left, they would be safe! In other words...

After they came out, they could still chase at full speed, but he would inevitably slow down due to various reasons.

"Sigh."

"Let's take it one step at a time."

"I don't have any better ideas right now."

He couldn't help but smile wryly.

...

"This way."

Xu Wei Yi's perception was even sharper, and she quickly led Star Mother Gu to the right.

When they reached their destination, they happened to discover a person holding the World Heart getting blasted, but instead of leaving behind a remnant of flesh and blood, it dissipated along with the explosion.

The World Heart also shattered.

Xu Wei Yi's eyebrows furrowed.

Star Mother Gu witnessed this scene, and her heart skipped a beat.

"This change, this feeling..."

"Is it him?!!!"

Xu Wei Yi couldn't tell, but she was very familiar with it.

Although she had spied on Lin Fan through the Sky Gazing Mirror far fewer times than Wu Jie, and didn't understand Lin Fan as well as Wu Jie, she was extremely familiar with the Seventy-Two Transformations, Immortal Petal Incarnation, and the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body and other 'invincible techniques'.

At this moment...

With just a glance, she realized it was Lin Fan's doing!

"How could this be?"

Her mind was in chaos, filled with countless thoughts, and she became absent-minded.

"Shouldn't he be retreating and coordinating from the outside?"

"Why is it that he's even faster than us in reaching the core area, and looking at him, it seems he's already succeeded?"

Although Star Mother Gu didn't personally witness Lin Fan's success, and there was no evidence, she felt that based on her understanding of Lin Fan, if he hadn't succeeded, he wouldn't have caused such a scene.

This kid was very 'cautious'!

Since he had done this, it represented that he had definitely succeeded, so he was deliberately causing trouble for others to buy himself time to escape.

"..."

"Holy Mother."

"Holy Mother?!"

"Hmm?" Xu Wei Yi's repeated calls made Star Mother Gu react instantly, "Senior Uncle, what did you say?"

"I'm saying why are you so absent-minded? That person is obviously just a clone, we should continue searching, actually..."

She transmitted her thoughts, "It's best to find Lin Fan and use the Sky Gazing Mirror to search for his traces."

"No!"

Star Mother Gu quickly voiced her objection.

Her reaction was intense.

In an instant, even Xu Wei Yi was a bit stunned, but after reacting, she also nodded, "Your concern is not unreasonable. Now, everyone is going crazy. If we meet up with Lin Fan and are discovered by others, it will indeed bring a lot of trouble."

"The Sky Gazing Mirror must not be lost."

Star Mother Gu's lips parted.

She had originally wanted to tell Xu Wei Yi about her discovery, but after much consideration, she felt it was better to keep it hidden.

The more people who knew, the more danger it brought.

But what should she do now?

Star Mother Gu, with great effort, calmed herself and contemplated the next plan.

As the master of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, she was naturally not a fool, and quickly reached a conclusion.

"First, we must never expose this matter, nor let anyone know that Lin Fan and I are from the same world."

"Second, continue to 'act crazy' like the others, and search for traces of the World Heart."

"Third, follow the crowd, and if they discover any clues, we should join them, but I must secretly find a way to cause trouble..."

In short...

Become an informant and cause disruption! It would be challenging to coordinate internally, but as an informant within the enemy, there were still opportunities to act as long as one remained undetected.

Even if it was impossible to act, as a last resort, if Lin Fan ever fell into a crisis, she and her Senior Uncle could suddenly ambush from within, creating an opportunity for Lin Fan to escape.

With this in mind, Star Mother Gu immediately spoke up, "Senior Uncle, let's quickly catch up with the others."

"Although we don't have any leads at the moment, with so many powerful cultivators, there's bound to be someone with special abilities. As long as we follow them, we'll surely find the World Heart."

Xu Wei Yi instantly agreed, "Yes!"

"Let's hurry and catch up."

"..."

The two quickly accelerated to join the main group.

...

At this moment, the large group they had been thinking about had already gathered.

However, everyone's expressions were grim.

"Where are the others?!"

"We encountered an ambush on the way, and it was only after we killed them that we realized they were incarnations."

"What? You too??"

"You were all ambushed? We didn't encounter any, but someone used transformation techniques to sneak attack us."

"Hmph, it's because you're weak. I saw through their transformation technique at a glance. They wanted to turn into rocks to ambush me, how laughable!"

"What did you say?!"

"Damn it! So many people were ambushed and attacked, but in the end, they all turned out to be incarnations?"

"We didn't meet anyone else, but after sensing a great battle disturbance in another area, we rushed over immediately, only to find no one there."

"???"

"..."

There were nearly two hundred people.

They were all top cultivators from their respective worlds, so it was impossible for them to be fools. Within a short time, they pieced together the sequence of events.

"It seems that someone has been using multiple incarnations to impersonate others and chase after us."

"And now, the World Heart has completely disappeared, which means that person must have taken it away!"

"We've been deceived, especially those who rushed to the site of the great battle. They deviated from the original route, giving that person the opportunity to escape!"

"What a well-planned scheme! But we still managed to uncover the clues."

They were all feeling indignant.

They had thought their plan was foolproof, and to prevent those with the means to take the World Heart from acting due to the presence of so many people. They all waited at the entrance, biding their time.

But... they had been played by their opponent?!

Star Mother Gu, Xu Wei Yi, Lin Zi Xiao, and Star Mother Gu herself, who were also part of the crowd, expressed their anger and indignation, seamlessly blending in with the group, even contributing to the discussions and offering suggestions.

Lin Zi Xiao, as a cross-world traveler, was a master of various schemes and tactics.

Amidst the crowd's curses, she spoke up, "Fellow cultivators, everyone~!"

"Just now, someone mentioned that they could see through the other person's transformation technique at a glance. Does that mean this fellow cultivator knows the true appearance of that person?"

"I don't know who made that claim earlier."

"Can you tell us what that person looks like?"

"Otherwise, there's a real possibility that they might escape with the World Heart."

"As long as you tell us what that person looks like, we can split up and hunt down this person..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation.

One group immediately surrounded the speaker: "It was him who said it!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Although they didn't take any action, their intentions were clear.

You'd better describe that person's appearance, or else, you might as well stay here~

No one was a fool.

At this moment, they appeared to be cooperating, but in reality, they all had ulterior motives.

Except for those from the same world, everyone was a competitor and an enemy.

It was only because the World Heart had 'escaped' that they hadn't started an all-out battle. Otherwise, they would have already begun fighting for their own interests.

You know that person's true appearance and won't reveal it? Hmph!

Just watch how we deal with you!

For a moment, they were united like never before.

But it was the cultivator who had boasted about seeing through Lin Fan's transformation technique who suffered.

...

"That woman... must be eliminated."

Xu Wei Yi cautiously communicated with her divine sense to Star Mother Gu, "She's too calm. With just a few words, she grasps the key points. With her around, our competitiveness will increase significantly."

Star Mother Gu: "..."

She paused before replying, "Senior Uncle, I have a different opinion."

"This woman seems to be offering suggestions, but I feel like she's secretly pushing..."

She had wanted to say that the woman was secretly helping Lin Fan, but suddenly remembering that she hadn't told Xu Wei Yi about this, she quickly changed her words, "She's secretly delaying things."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, she seems smart, but in reality, she's just wasting time.

"With a single sentence, he hit the critical point, but in reality, intimidating that cultivator is merely a waste of time."

"Isn't this just a delay?"

"Furthermore, if that person's drawing is real, would you willingly draw the truth?"

Xu Wei Yi immediately expressed that she wouldn't.

"That's naturally impossible."

Gu Xing Ling narrowed her eyes, "That's it. You won't, I won't, and neither will that person. Therefore, the drawing holds no reference value, and it's a completely meaningless waste of time."

"Yet, in the end, no one can verify its authenticity. Even if someone can see through his transformation technique, they would never reveal it. So, in the end, we'll only get a fake drawing."

"Aren't you afraid of someone searching your soul?" Xu Wei Yi rebutted.

Gu Xing Ling felt like laughing, "Soul searching can only be done by one person. If they truly search the soul, can we trust that person's words?"

Xu Wei Yi: "Hmm."

"It seems I didn't consider that."

How interesting!

Truly fascinating! Gu Xing Ling secretly observed Lin Zi Xiao, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

"If I hadn't confirmed that Lin Fan succeeded, I'd probably think it was one of your teammates who got it."

"How could they use such a method that seems to help everyone but actually pits most of them?"

"However, we can't rule out another possibility. Their teammate might have discovered Lin Fan's trail and is chasing him, so they're using this method to buy time."

"If that's the case..."

"Perhaps secretly following these two is the best choice."

At this moment, everyone present had a thousand thoughts running through their minds.

It was a battle of wits.

Gu Xing Ling also believed that most people wouldn't trust the artist's drawing, but they still wanted him to draw.

What if...?!

Better to kill by mistake than to let him go!

The artist felt helpless and knew that not drawing would lead to his demise. As for after drawing...

Damn it!

He had no choice but to draw first.

He deeply regretted his actions. Why did he have to put on such an act? Although he could see through everything, wouldn't it be better to feign ignorance and silently make a fortune?

This act...

What a waste!

He couldn't help but draw.

He manifested an image of a middle-aged man with his Immortal Energy, capturing both his figure and appearance.

Naturally, it wasn't his true appearance.

Regardless of his chances of survival, he would never reveal his true self!

"So it's this person?!"

Someone suddenly realized.

"Damn, I should've known this person wasn't trustworthy. It's him!"

Another person spoke up.

The artist: "???"

What the hell? I randomly drew this, how come I know more than one or two people?

Before he could react...

Boom!

At least a dozen powerful cultivators attacked, either Apex Cultivators or Loose Immortals. Although he had anticipated this and tried to resist, he couldn't hold them back. In an instant, he was ambushed and died!

After killing him, one of the attackers said, "This person's thoughts run deep. We mustn't let him live!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Right, I also have something important to attend to."

"Let's go!"

"..."

In an instant, almost everyone claimed to have something urgent and left.

However, they all headed in the same direction.

Most of them were moving in one direction.

And that direction...

Was where the 'urgency' led.

"!"

Gu Xing Ling frowned, "As expected, everyone has a thousand thoughts."

"These guys, most of them noticed that trace, but none of them spoke up."

"That 'artist', he died for nothing. That woman singled him out, and he was directly killed, buying some time. The others knew the artist wasn't important, and his drawing was fake, but they still forced him to draw and then killed him."

"By doing this, they eliminated a potential competitor, and this competitor knew the identity of the person who took the World Heart."

"But the artist's death is also his fault. He insisted on putting on an act, as if he was exceptional. Perhaps he thought he was still in his world. In his original world, he might have been the strongest, and putting on an act was second nature. But here, putting on an act could be fatal. No one knows when a careless word could lead to their demise."

"So..."

"We mustn't reveal ourselves lightly."

"As for now..."

"Let's follow them first."

Gu Xing Ling had no choice but to go with the flow, chasing after the faint traces.

After all, she currently didn't know Lin Fan's situation, and she couldn't contact him. Instead of pondering her own abilities, it was better to blend into the crowd and wait for an opportunity.

"But..."

Her gaze often fell on Lin Zi Xiao and Ji Chu Tong, "These two..."

"There's definitely something wrong!"

"..."

"Be cautious."

In the middle of the crowd.

Lin Zi Xiao, unperturbed, sent a message to Ji Chu Tong, "We're being watched."

"?"

Ji Chu Tong was startled, "Could there be someone else who needs the Foundation of Heavenly Dao?"

"Probably not, but we're indeed being watched. In any case, it's best to be careful."

"If the situation becomes untenable, we'll find a chance to leave. As for that fellow... we can only wish him luck. After all, our relationship isn't strong enough for us to risk our lives for him."

Ji Chu Tong replied, "Your word is law. I'll follow your lead."

"Good."

Lin Zi Xiao nodded, "Let's follow them and see how things unfold. In any case, be prepared to retreat at any moment."
