Chapter 1041 - 346: Return (Part 3)

Not to mention anything else.

Wu Jin simply didn’t believe that the other party could hide in the demon river without coming out indefinitely.

Even with his strength, comparable to a Nascent Soul expert, he wouldn’t dare stay in there for too long.

"Hmm."

"But that person, could they be using the filthy energy of the demon river to eradicate the bloodline curse within their body?"

Wu Tongyu asked with a frown.

She had heard that demonic energy had a huge restraining effect on the bloodline curse of the Wu Family.

"Heh, impossible."

"Unless that person wants to die and completely turn into a soulless, slaying demon puppet."

"Otherwise, it’s utterly impossible to fully eradicate the bloodline curse."

Wu Jin said disdainfully.

As an elder of the Wu Family, he had a thorough understanding of the bloodline curse.

The bloodline curse of the Wu Family had been integrated into the bloodline of the victim.

To remove it, one either needed the power to reshape fate itself and cleanse the bloodline energy within.

Or directly replace the bloodline within their body.

Apart from invading the bloodline, the Wu Family’s bloodline curse could also invade the Soul Origin in the Sea of Consciousness and hide within it.

To peel it away from the Soul Origin, one would need terrifying and powerful accomplishments in the soul field.

"Hmm, then let’s wait and see."

"I want to see who dares to lay a hand on our family’s Qilin’Er!"

Wu Tongyu said coldly, a hint of icy coldness flashing in her eyes.

Woo woo woo~~

The black wind howled.

The two stood quietly outside the demon river, periodically using secret techniques to search for the aura of the bloodline curse.

However, the other party seemed dead; once they entered, they never came out again.

"Strange..."

"Why is that guy staying in the demon river for so long? Could there be something hidden inside?"

Wu Tongyu furrowed her slender brows.

"There could really be such a possibility!" Wu Jin pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Because of the invasion of the Demon Realm, under the erosion of demonic will and energy, some secret realms, relics, or even entrances to grottos would be exposed.

But the probability is very, very low...

However, with a great catastrophe impending.

Under the influence of the Celestial Dao Will trying to save itself, various relics and secret realms are revealed to the world, creating opportunities...

If that were the case.

Then even the slightest probability could be elevated to a hundred percent possibility.

Splash~~

Just as the two were communicating telepathically.

A few thousand meters away in the demon river.

The surface of the river rippled gently, not attracting any attention from demons or cultivators.

Lin Zheyu stepped out from the demon river.

Concealed by the Heavenly Deceit Skill, combined with the Martial Arts Divine Pattern, absorbing demonic energy and condensing demonic energy as disguise.

Almost no one could discover his existence.

Whoosh~~

As Lin Zheyu moved slightly, he disappeared from his original spot, rushing towards the outside of the Demon God Barrier.

Suddenly.

Lin Zheyu’s form slightly paused as two familiar and subtle auras appeared in his perception.

"Oh!"

"These two people... Are they experts from the Wu Family?"

"Impressive, to actually make it here."

Lin Zheyu looked at the two below, a small smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

’Such crude martial brutes!’

’What use is strength when the person you’re seeking is right here, yet you can’t even detect them.’

’Crude, exceedingly crude...’

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but sneer internally.

In his perception, the two of them harbored a terrifying power, making Lin Zheyu feel a shiver of dread.

Their strength was indeed formidable!

But that made sense.

To have slain Wu Yiyi and Wu Shuo, and for Wu Yiyi’s many treasures to also have failed to escape.

It was evident how formidable that enemy was.

The people dispatched by the Wu Family, if too weak, would simply be like sending buns into a dog, never to return.

"Hmm?"

"Who’s there!"

Suddenly, Wu Jin sharply turned his head toward Lin Zheyu’s direction, shouting lowly.

A powerful fist shadow instantly blasted out, roaring past where Lin Zheyu had just stood.

"The Martial Artist’s instinctive perception of danger?"

"Indeed, a powerful Martial Artist comparable to a Nascent Soul. They do have some abilities, not as crude as imagined..."

Lin Zheyu appeared in the near void, speaking to himself.

Just now, he accidentally released a murderous intent toward the two below, which Wu Jin and Wu Tongyu sensed.

But that was all.

Lin Zheyu shifted positions, while Wu Jin still glared at where he had been, with eyes blazing with a terrifying killing intent.

To those who didn’t know, they’d think a terrifying expert truly hid there.

"Boring, can’t win, leaving."

"I’ll come to play with you again after breaking two more shackles."

Lin Zheyu mumbled to himself as his form slightly flickered, instantly disappearing from the spot.

Whoosh~~

The black wind roared past, rustling Wu Jin’s clothes violently.

Wu Jin’s face was solemn, his aura overflowing with killing intent, his eyes fixed tightly on where Lin Zheyu first appeared.

The Qi Blood within him surged, roaring loudly.

However, no matter how Wu Jin probed, the hidden expert never revealed themselves.

Which made Wu Jin look somewhat awkward.

"Was there really someone there?"

Wu Tongyu hesitated for a moment, couldn’t help but ask softly.

Her strength, slightly weaker than Wu Jin, didn’t detect anything abnormal.

"Yes!"

"Just now, my heart felt a shiver, someone hid in the darkness with murderous intent towards me!"

Wu Jin said gravely.

He didn’t think it was an illusion.

At his level of strength, illusions were not a thing.

"Could it be the person who killed Yan’Er?" Wu Tongyu’s eyes grew serious.

She quickly formed a spell with her hands, using a secret technique to detect the aura of the bloodline curse.

But she failed to perceive any aura.

"No, he doesn’t have the aura of the bloodline curse."

Wu Jin said solemnly.

This was what made him feel heavy; it wasn’t that person, yet he showed murderous intent towards him.

Wu Jin speculated that it might be an old enemy he had offended in the past.
