“Hmm? He actually managed to dodge the ambush?! Are there such strong individuals in the Imperial Capital?”
Qin Po retracted his withered claws, a look of doubt on his face.
Logically speaking, even a practitioner at the early stage of the Nirvana Realm would not necessarily be able to evade his sudden attack!
Yet Lin Qiubai had naturally avoided the ambush, which raised a sense of foreboding in Qin Po's heart.
He waved his sleeve to disperse the afterimage and then sensed the surroundings, furrowing his brows as he sprang into action.
Although he could not see through Lin Qiubai's true form, the fact that Lin Qiubai chose to flee immediately indicated that his cultivation was not high—at most, he was at the early stage of the Nirvana Realm.
His cultivation was far from sufficient.
Since his strength was inadequate and he had seen something he shouldn't have, he naturally had to prepare for death.
A chill spread through Qin Po's heart as he locked onto the aura and fluctuations stirred up by Lin Qiubai not far away.
“This guy must want to escape to the Chamber of Commerce.
That area is within the city zone, where the Holy Dragon Guard patrols.
As long as he steps out of the private area of the Chamber of Commerce and shouts, countless Holy Dragon Guards will come. At that time, if I forcefully make a move, it will undoubtedly attract Nirvana Realm experts.”
The matter is of great importance, and I cannot expose myself; otherwise, I will lose everything. Therefore, I must kill him before leaving the Chamber of Commerce!
Qin Po's brows were heavily furrowed, turning into a fierce wind as he relentlessly pursued.
After several breaths, he vaguely sensed Lin Qiubai not far ahead and suddenly let out a sinister laugh, increasing his speed.
However, he ended up missing!
That fluctuation appeared again not far away, faintly visible and elusive; without careful perception, it was nearly impossible to detect.
"This chamber's cultivation is inferior to mine, but he must possess some top-tier Spirit-Level High-Grade Artifact; otherwise, his speed couldn't be so terrifying that even I can't catch up!"
A hint of greed surfaced on Qin Po's wrinkled face. Such a top-tier Spirit-Level High-Grade Artifact would be a significant benefit for him.
If he could seize it...
With this thought in mind, Qin Po's ruthlessness intensified as he suddenly ignited his Vital Energy, increasing his speed by another third.
He followed that aura and charged forward.
Moments later, Lin Qiubai emerged from a corner of the courtyard.
His face was calm.
He hadn't run far at all.
He had merely hidden himself, using Demon Wugui to temporarily shield his presence.
As for that fluctuation...
It was merely a maze left by Lin Qiubai.
He had previously set up some simple formations, leaving behind traces and fluctuations.
These formations were interconnected, with a continuous loop; as long as Lin Qiubai activated them, they could trigger a chain reaction like a row of dominoes.
Moreover, the activation principle relied on light perception. As long as the light from one formation illuminated the next, it could be quickly activated.
Therefore... that Nirvana Realm Expert could only watch helplessly.
"Worship."
The artifact spirit exclaimed in admiration.
"Just a small trick. Nothing is difficult in this world; it only depends on the determination of the person. As long as one is serious in their arrangements, even a Nirvana Realm Expert can be toyed with."
Lin Qiubai smirked, putting his hands behind his back as he walked into the room, exuding a sense of solitude typical of a master.
The interior was not luxurious; everything was simple.
However, there were many bookshelves filled with ancient texts, along with various items scattered across the long table.
There were broken halberds, remnants of armor, and even biological fossils displayed on the table.
They exuded an ancient aura, showing signs of wear from the passage of time.
Activating Treasure Identification, he scanned through them one by one.
Lin Qiubai shook his head in disappointment. These items were remarkable when intact, but in their current state of disrepair, they were not even at Spirit Grade. Lin Qiubai had no patience to repair them.
After glancing at him twice, attention shifted to the old man sprawled on the jade bed.
A fourth-tier powerhouse of the Nirvana Realm, the ruler of the Bailu Mountain Chamber of Commerce: Qin Beixuan.
He had lived a life of disdain.
He was a giant of the Xian Sheng Dynasty.
At this moment, however, he was bound by chains that pierced through his limbs and pipa bones.
These chains were quite extraordinary, sealing away his cultivation and completely shutting down his five senses.
Even if Lin Qiubai stood before him, he would remain entirely unaware.
He merely gasped for breath, occasionally revealing a look of pain.
It was clear that Gu Worms had already invaded Qin Beixuan's mind.
In his current state, Lin Qiubai could easily kill him.
However, what would be the use of killing him?
Lin Qiubai snapped his fingers to unlock Qin Beixuan's sealed five senses.
He took out two Elixirs, slightly improving his condition.
Qin Beixuan's lips were parched, and his gaze was dull like dead ashes.
At times he gasped for breath, at times his face twisted in agony, and at times veins bulged on his forehead, as if something formidable was stirring within his mind...
His desperate desire for death only intensified the Gu Worm that was gnawing at him.
"Kill me! Kill me! Kill me, and I'll tell you a secret about Fortune!
Behind me, there is a hidden chamber.
It holds a key and a map that can lead you to the tomb I discovered in my youth. It belongs to a powerful Life Profound Realm expert's Inheritance...
If you are fated, you will naturally obtain it. Please, kill me! Let me be free!"
However, after Qin Beixuan finished speaking, blood flowed from his seven orifices, clearly suffering from the intense Backlash of the Gu Worm.
It was evident that having this worm planted made even the thought of dying feel extremely difficult.
Lin Qiubai watched this scene calmly, unaffected.
The pain on Qin Beixuan's face deepened, his eyes pleading like a whimpering stray dog, devoid of any dignity.
"Seven Soul Nails. A very sinister Gu Worm, completely eroding its host, requiring forty-nine years of subtle influence.
To successfully plant this worm, one must first become your most trusted right-hand man and then secretly sow the worm without you noticing.
The process is incredibly arduous and even requires the planter to expend a significant amount of their own blood essence."
Lin Qiubai possessed an encyclopedia on worms.
While he may not know everything about them, he could identify many types of worms.
The one currently infesting Qin Beixuan was indeed the Seven Soul Nails!
Hearing Lin Qiubai's explanation, Qin Beixuan's body trembled violently, and he let out a hissing sound from his mouth.
The two Elixirs that restored Vital Energy became chaotic once again.
"It’s hard to bear, isn’t it? To gain your trust, this brother has gone through fire and water for you, risking his life multiple times to save you, suffering severe injuries and hanging by a thread.
Yet he has never complained.
You trust him deeply, but one day you notice he suddenly ages rapidly, showing signs of frailty in front of you.
You continuously provide him with Mystical Herbs to replenish his vitality.
But all of this actually leads you step by step into an irreversible abyss."
Lin Qiubai spoke eloquently, having nearly grasped the entire situation clearly.
It was simple; just reverse the reasoning.
Upon hearing Lin Qiubai's analysis that was almost identical to the truth, the old man's eyes filled with panic.
If Lin Qiubai had not investigated beforehand but analyzed it on the spot, then it was too meticulous and terrifying!
It was simply flawless!
At that moment, a glimmer of hope arose in Qin Beixuan amidst despair.
Initially, he only sought death for relief.
But now, he felt that Lin Qiubai could save him.
The feeling was incredibly intense.
A youth as formidable as this, able to bypass the watchful eyes of Qin Po to arrive here, already indicated Lin Qiubai's exceptional abilities.
"Save me... just save me..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai chuckled, as if he had heard something utterly ridiculous.
His gaze sharpened as he quietly stared at Qin Beixuan.
Qin Beixuan surprisingly fell silent, seemingly forgetting all his pain, holding his breath and not daring to exhale.
He felt that this young man before him was a hundred times more terrifying than the poisonous Qin Po who had cursed him!
Seeing that Qin Beixuan did not dare to move, Lin Qiubai shook his head.
"What are you? Why should I save you?"
A chilling aura spread out.
