Chapter 459: 459, [So this is the legendary gentleman]

The words of the Junior Priest caused Zhuge Lai Fu’s slightly short eyebrows to furrow involuntarily.

They were words that invoked caution.

At the same time, he was puzzled. How would the other party know that he would be here?

If they knew beforehand, they should have prepared extensively. Yet, why didn’t his divine sense detect anything?

Zhuge Lai Fu’s strength is at the eighth realm, not as strong as his Second Senior Sister Gu Xiaoman, but no less than an average eighth realm Cultivator.

If one were to use Sect Master Shen Yan, that old trickster, as the standard of measure, Zhuge Lai Fu would still be a notch stronger.

Moreover, he practices the Array Path, an art that requires the control of Divine Sense, which parallels talisman techniques. Thus, Zhuge Lai Fu’s Divine Sense far surpasses ordinary cultivators of the same realm, and is no less than the Second Senior Sister’s.

If the other party had laid a trap, and it escaped Zhuge Lai Fu’s Divine Sense, they must either possess extraordinary methods, or… their strength is above the eighth realm!

Zhuge Lai Fu looked at the old-looking teenager below, with no intention of engaging him in a conversation.

This place is the mysterious Ink Sea, and the other party’s attitude was too peculiar, forcing Zhuge Lai Fu to take the current situation seriously.

He recalled a quote his Little Junior Brother once mentioned: “Villains often fall due to excessive talk.”

It was something Lu Xun mentioned when he was telling Mao Nanbei some strange stories.

The third senior brother Zhuge Lai Fu didn’t consider himself a villain, but he thought the statement was quite sensible.

He was not here to chat, but to attend to his master’s affairs.

All he needed was to be swift, accurate, and ruthless!

And what he would do next, would probably make Lu Xun drop his jaw, if he had been present.

Zhuge Lai Fu extended his right hand, which wore five storage rings, one on each finger.

These storage rings were all luxurious versions with vast space, so they appeared quite ostentatious. Having five of them on one hand looked particularly extravagant.

Was this the Talisman Emperor Demon or a coal tycoon?

In reality, these rings contained Talismans!

This was a Talisman Master’s means of combat!

The various effects of the talismans meant they had to be organized and stored separately.

In fact, Zhuge Lai Fu had three more storage rings on his left hand, but he just didn’t need the talismans inside them at the moment.

“Swoosh-!” Hundreds of talismans flew out from the storage rings. Two flew towards the Junior Priest and the Giant Snake, while the rest swirled around Zhuge Lai Fu.

The talismans that flew out were one Restraining Talisman and one Killing Character Talisman.

The former instantly trapped the Junior Priest while the latter turned into an explosive air current in the blink of an eye, slicing the Giant Snake beneath the Junior Priest into several pieces!

Throughout this process, Zhuge Lai Fu encountered no resistance at all.

After the Giant Snake was killed, its black blood drifted in the Ink Sea and the body submerged into the sea depths.

The Junior Priest was restrained by a talisman. With a wave of his finger, the third senior brother flew the Junior Priest over and grabbed him in hand.

“That was easy?” Zhuge Lai Fu was somewhat stunned.

The opponent knew he was coming but didn’t put up any defenses?

Wasn’t this the same as opening the convenience gate wide?

At this moment, the smoother things went, the more cautious Zhuge Lai Fu became.

“We can’t stay here for long!” He abruptly beckoned, and twenty talismans instantly adhered to his body.

These were twenty Godspeed Talismans!

Actually, stacking Godspeed Talismans only resulted in minimal extra effects.

Twenty talismans could not enhance his speed twenty times, in fact, they only doubled it.

But it didn’t matter, Zhuge Lai Fu didn’t even furrow his brows, the wastage didn’t bother him at all.

What precious talisman papers, precious ink, precious coatings… they didn’t matter!

Small change~

With the Junior Priest in his grip, Zhuge Lai Fu quickly flew off into the distance.

…

…

All the way, with Zhuge Lai Fu sparkling like fiery stars and flashing like lightning, batches of Godspeed Talismans were used continuously, at a phenomenal speed.

Even if there truly was a Foreign Race ambush of the ninth realm level, they would not be able to reach him for quite some time.

Was this the power of speed?

No, this was the power of money!

It was merely a matter of buying time with money.

The Junior Priest with silver hair, controlled by Zhuge Lai Fu, looked at him with clear eyes and said, “You don’t need to be so tense.”

After Zhuge Lai Fu glanced at him, he directly increased the strength of the Restraining Talisman, silencing him.

Then, he took out a large number of Godspeed Talismans, flying even faster for a time.

“Strange! Too strange!” Zhuge Lai Fu sighed with relief only after flying all the way to the Eastern Region.

Returning to his own territory, he felt a strong sense of security.

After pondering for a while, he removed the Junior Priest’s “silence”.

While continuing his high-speed flight, Zhuge Lai Fu asked in passing, “How did you know I would come?”

He did not ask anything else, only this question which most concerned him.

“I divined it.” The Junior Priest looked weak, having been flown all this way. He appeared somewhat fatigued and frail.

His already wrinkled and unhealthy pale face now looked even paler.

Upon hearing his answer, Zhuge Lai Fu couldn’t help but frown.

At the same time, he felt a sense of dread from the elderly youth in front of him.

So he had predicted that I would come at that time, which was why he said, “I’m waiting for you.”

Of course, everyone’s personality is different. Zhuge Lai Fu is more stable when handling affairs and tends to think more.

If it were Lu Xun, while he would also be more stable, his first reaction would undoubtedly be: “I had already arrived a full joss stick’s time before you showed up, what were you waiting for!”

——Clearly I was the one who arrived first!

Zhuge Lai Fu was flying in the direction of the Demon Sect, and asked his second question:

“If you had calculated that I was coming, why didn’t you prepare in advance, but instead let me take you away easily?”

The elderly youth looked down at the landscape of the Eastern Region and calmly replied, “Because it would be useless.”

After a brief silence, he continued, “If you wanted to capture me, I could use countless methods to respond.”

“But you were sent by the Master, so it’s pointless.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Lai Fu seemed to understand something.

He didn’t ask any more questions, just nodded slightly.

Those skilled in divination often excel at deduction.

When he determined that he would encounter Zhuge Lai Fu today, he would necessarily deduce how he would handle the situation.

And since Zhuge Lai Fu was sent by the Master to act on his orders, in the deduction process, his opponent was the Master.

The Junior Priest made countless deductions during this time.

The final conclusion was always the same, that he couldn’t escape.

In the process of deduction, he discovered that the opponent could anticipate his move.

In simple terms, on this chessboard, the opponent knew his next move, or even several moves ahead!

Therefore, there was no point in continuing the deduction.

The countless deductions only told him one thing; that surrendering would be the best course of action. Otherwise, the opponent could anticipate all his strategies.

If anticipated, the opponent would naturally be able to respond easily to everything.

Any redundant strategies would only result in greater damage for the Foreign Race.

The Junior Priest was blind in one eye because he had seen a pair of eyes while divining.

The other party looked at him, and he went blind.

“So this is the legendary Master.” The Foreign Race Junior Priest muttered to himself.

At that moment, they reached the back mountain of the Demon Sect.
