Age of Evolution

Chapter 638: Chapter 640: Night Raid! (Third Watch)

Since Gu Yunting was ready to make a move, there was no point in avoiding it. Lin Zhen might as well see what tricks they had up their sleeves.

No matter what their plans were, they wouldn’t expect that he would have a second self.

Lin Zhen’s other self was sitting nearby, reaching a crucial moment in his cultivation.

Streams of power from the Four Spirits Pill continuously poured into the Bloodthirsty Divine Needle, making its color increasingly vibrant and eye-catching!

“It’s saturated~!”

When the power of the divine pill was exhausted, the Divine Needle finally stopped absorbing blood and ceased to penetrate deeper into his other self’s body.

“Ha~!”

A surge of Star Power erupted, and under the urging of this force, the Divine Needle was ejected directly from Lin Zhen’s chest.

“Puff~~!!!”

A stream of blood spurted out, and Lin Zhen lifted his hand, grabbing the long Bloodthirsty Divine Needle.

It was finally unsealed!

A powerful Star Power began to spread over his other self’s body, raising Lin Zhen’s other self’s Star Power from two million to three million, filling the entire room with starlight!

With the unsealing of one Divine Needle, Lin Zhen felt invigorated and empowered.

Looking at the needle in his hand for a while, Lin Zhen marveled in secret.

“Just a little thing like this can suppress my million Star Power, truly amazing!”

After breaking the first Divine Needle, there were still two more: one located in the Dantian Qi Sea and the other in Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, suppressing meridians and obstructing Star Power circulation.

Lin Zhen’s next target was the Bone Etching Divine Needle at the Baihui acupoint.

Breaking this needle would be even more difficult, as it required the bones of seven super Star River Beasts.

The seven Star River Beasts were the Divine Dragon, Phoenix, Kirin, Kunpeng, Violent Ape, Taotie, and Soul Devouring Beast.

Compared to the blood of the Four Spirits, the bones of these seven super Star River Beasts were even harder to obtain.

As for the Kirin, Lin Zhen’s Black Hole Beast was actually a mutated Kylin, but would he have to pull out one of his own bones?

Should he get a Phoenix bone from Little Phoenix? In that case, Lin Zhen would rather let his other self die.

Lin Zhen even asked Su Shanna, and the Association of Alchemists in Xianle County currently had no stock of these bones. They could only be found after leaving Xianle County and going to the Nan Liang Empire or somewhere else.

Two million Star Power was barely average for a Level Nine World King.

But three million Star Power was different – it was definitely upper-tier. Moreover, Lin Zhen had learned Satellite Fall and, combined with his other self’s Phantom Light Sword, their power was multiplied. He no longer considered ordinary World Kings as threats.

***********

After his second self had fully recovered, Lin Zhen received another invitation from Elder Wang.

“Elder Lin, I’m waiting for you in my shop. I’ve even bought some food and drinks. Let’s eat, research, and discuss alchemy skills together. Two heads are better than one.”

“Hehe, alright, then I’ll bother you. I’ll clean up and be there in half an hour.”

“Good, good, come on, I’m waiting for you.”

Lin Zhen hung up the call in the Dimensional Universe but didn’t leave immediately.

Without a doubt, Gu Yunting had made his move. Although Lin Zhen now had a second self with three million Star Power, he couldn’t act rashly. Elder Wang’s shop was definitely a no-go.

Opening the map of Xianle County City, Lin Zhen inspected it carefully.

After a while, he closed the map, and a plan was already formed in his heart.

“Lin Feng, get up. Let’s get out of here.”

Lin Zhen called out to Lin Feng, who was currently refining elixirs, and Lin Feng immediately stood up: “Boss, where are we going?”

“Leaving here!”

“Leaving? Where are we going?”

“To Nan Liang. We can’t stay here any longer.”

“Alright, boss, just tell me what I need to do.”

“Just do as I say….” Lin Zhen said, whispering a few words in Lin Feng’s ear.

“Alright, I’ll follow your orders.”

The two made their plan, and Lin Zhen took the lead in leaving the Association of Alchemists.

As he stepped out, he looked back at the Association of Alchemists, feeling nostalgic. Having stayed there for several years, he had built some emotional attachment.

But today, he had to leave. First of all, the appointment date with Little Phoenix was getting closer, and he couldn’t stay in Xianle County forever. Moreover, since he was about to have a falling out with Gu Yunting, he would inevitably offend the people behind Gu Yunting.

Through conversations with Thomas, Lin Zhen had already learned who was behind Gu Yunting.

It was none other than the County Governor of Xianle County, the Longevity Realm Martial Artist Lu Yang!

Only someone like that could ensure that Gu Yunting’s business in Xianle County would continue to grow. In fact, most of the money Gu Yunting made was pocketed by Lu Yang.

Offending the County Governor in Xianle County meant that even as an alchemist, Lin Zhen couldn’t stay there in peace. Hence, he had to leave.

But before leaving, he had to deal with Gu Yunting—a test of Lin Zhen’s abilities.

After leaving the Association, he walked leisurely and slowly. After passing through two city blocks, he suddenly summoned the Big Peng bird.

The Roc soared into the sky, Lin Zhen rode the giant bird, heading straight for the outskirts of the city.

Only after five minutes of Lin Zhen’s departure, Lin Feng left the Alchemist Association, his whereabouts unknown.

**********

“Lin Zhen escaped!”

Gu Yunting, who had been monitoring Lin Zhen’s movements closely, was furious!

For today’s events, he had been plotting for a long time, waiting for Lin Zhen to fall into his trap, but he didn’t expect this guy to be so alert and escape directly.

“Yes, Mr. Gu, Our men had been monitoring him. He escaped alone without even bringing his World King companion. He must have sensed that things were going bad.”

“No, we can’t let him get away!”

“Mr. Gu, he won’t be able to get too far. There are no teleportation arrays within tens of millions of kilometers in the direction he is escaping. As long as we follow the road, we should be able to catch him.”

“Good! Tell Ke Jianglong to chase after him immediately, you guys lead the way, don’t let him escape.”

“We are also going? Mr. Gu, what about your safety…?”

Gu Yunting looked at the two World Kings beside him and waved them away. He had almost no enemies in this city, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare to harm him because there were Longevity Experts standing behind him.

Moreover, he himself was also a World King, and he had great faith in his martial force. Lin Zhen couldn’t possibly pose a threat to him.

At this moment, he missed his days as the president of the Alchemist Association when he had the support of the organization and had two Longevity Realm warriors protecting him.

But ever since he stepped down from that position, he no longer had such privileges. Longevity Experts were not something he could afford to hire. Even Lu Yang, the county governor behind him, couldn’t easily send two Longevity Warriors to protect him.

After all, the strength of a county governor couldn’t compare with that of the Association of Alchemists.

Moreover, Lin Zhen was heading in the opposite direction, so he certainly couldn’t come and attack him. He still had that much common sense.

And he had a trump card – if he was attacked, County Governor Lu Yang would arrive in just one minute.

There were no teleportation arrays nearby, so no one could escape the pursuit of a Longevity Expert after attacking him!

The two World Kings immediately took their orders and went to Elder Wang’s shop to lead Ke Jianglong in pursuit.

As the pursuers constantly reported the situation to him, and as Lin Zhen and his pursuers walked farther and farther away, he felt relieved.

This time, Lin Zhen is as good as gone. Even if he couldn’t be killed, he would most likely leave Xianle County, which would be a good thing. The elixir market would once again be monopolized by himself.

Gu Yunting drew his own sword, still feeling a bit regretful. After learning the Taiyuan Sword Skill, he never had the chance to display it. His identity determined that he couldn’t casually fight with others.

If Lin Zhen didn’t leave and let him practice, that would be great. Thinking this way, he was very confident in his own strength.

*********

When the pursuers gradually went away, Lin Feng appeared outside Tengtian Tower.

“Big brother is really full of cunning schemes. He thought of luring the enemy away first, then using the World Teleportation to come back. I don’t know how he had the World Power even though he’s not a World King!”

“Sigh, I gave him all the world aura inside my body. Now he can directly enter my inner world. Big brother, you’ve seen it all. You’ll have to be responsible to me in the future!”

Lin Feng muttered a few words and immediately activated the World Teleportation.

Lin Zhen, who had already galloped tens of millions of kilometers away, suddenly appeared in Lin Feng’s inner world.

With a move of Lin Feng’s World Power, Lin Zhen came outside.

“Big brother, what should we do now?”

“You’ve completed your mission. Now go back to the association and remember to open your inner world.”

Lin Feng immediately agreed. In his opinion, Lin Zhen always had a secretive but reliable way of doing things.

Lin Feng immediately returned to the Alchemist Association, the safest place.

**********

“What did you say? Lin Zhen suddenly disappeared?”

Gu Yunting, who had been waiting for news, was taken aback by the report from his subordinates.

“Yes, Mr. Gu, Lin Zhen just vanished as he was running.”

“Did he teleport? Hurry up and detect the surrounding area, teleportation will leave behind spatial fluctuations!”

“Understood!”

After hanging up the Dimensional Universe, Gu Yunting felt a sense of unease.

If it were teleportation, Ke Jianglong and the two World Kings underneath him would have sensed it. Furthermore, it was difficult to perform long-distance teleportation within the Original World due to the stable and viscous spatial barriers.

Short-distance teleportation wasn’t faster than flight speed.

Where on earth did Lin Zhen go?

Gu Yunting couldn’t help but draw out his spiritual treasure-level longsword, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Lin Zhen wouldn’t boldly come after him, would he? He was a Level Nine World King, and behind him stood the county governor. Was Lin Zhen suicidal?

Suddenly, the window in his room was blasted open!

A ball of fire descended rapidly from the sky!

Although it was merely a ball of fire, in Gu Yunting’s eyes, it was clearly a huge planet!

At this instant, the surrounding space was frozen, and he couldn’t even teleport. The planet brought a fierce gale, whistling toward him, instantly pulling his facial skin back, his face twisted!
