"Your Excellency must be the Youmen Water God." Lin Jiu glanced at the Youmen Water God who did not dare to approach from a distance, and nodded towards him, "Shen Yuewan has already agreed to your proposal."
"There is also the matter of the Cloud Thief. If you are worried, please come to Chenyue Bay and have a listen."
After the delay, Lin Jiu directly mentioned Chen Jing and left.
The sword energy bound to Chen Jing's body turned into a long needle and pierced Chen Jing's Dantian and eyebrows. It was like a sea-fixing needle, fixing all the magic changes in his body, making him unable to move.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you sure that the old Taoist is involved with the Yunwu Thief?" Chen Jing looked at Lin Jiu with a bad feeling in his heart.
He thought that Lin Jiu had captured him because he was suspicious of him, but after hearing what Lin Jiu said to the Youmen Water God, he was actually convinced that he was connected with the Cloud Thief.
"Do you really have evidence, or are you deceiving me?" Chen Jing's mind changed rapidly.
"It seems like you, Fellow Daoist Chen, don't believe that I have evidence. In that case, I will remind you - Eight Golden Suns."
"Hey, the detoxifying elixir of Eight Golden Suns poisons people, leaving people defenseless. The idea is amazing. I don't know how many people you have harmed with this method?"
Lin Jiu said expressionless words that made Master Chen Jing extremely desperate, "It's a pity that you are not knowledgeable enough. No one told you that we have ways to avoid poisons and will not be invaded by poisons like you."
"Don't deny it in a hurry." Lin Jiu glanced at him, "A Yunwu thief like you would never hide all your belongings. In other words, as long as I kill you, I can always get something from you. There is evidence found on your body that you are related to the Cloud Thief."
Chen Jing was silent.
He had to admit that he had failed.
Failed in front of Lin Jiu's completely unconventional method - killing first and then looking for evidence. Even when they were cleaning out spies within the Cloud Mist Thief, they would not go so far.
But it happened that Lin Jiu, a practitioner who was suspected of being from a decent background, was able to do this kind of thing so naturally.
"Who is the cloud thief, and who is the upright practitioner?",
For a moment, Master Chen Jing felt that his own understanding had been subverted - how could an upright practitioner have any reason to act like this?
"What do you want to do, fellow Taoist Lin?" Old Taoist Chen Jing's attitude finally softened.
It was acquiescing to the fact that he was involved with the Yunwu Thief.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lin spared my life, I think I have something to ask for."
Chen Jing calmed down.
What he was afraid of was that Lin Jiu had no desires or demands - and having demands meant being able to talk, and being able to talk meant there was room for change.
If there is room for negotiation, everything is possible - even including Lin Jiu among their group of cloud thieves.
With Lin Jiu's strength, if he can join them, then the strength of their Cloud Thieves will definitely be even more powerful!
"Tell me first, how strong is the Cloud Mist Thief?" Lin Jiu asked.
The Cloud Thieves have been active for more than three hundred years, and the value of the things they have plundered during these three hundred years is immeasurable.
And among the cloud and mist thieves, they are all Yuan Shen major cultivators - so from the resources they have plundered in the past three hundred years, have they piled up strong people who have transcended the tribulation realm?
There is a state of overcoming tribulation, or there is no state of overcoming tribulation.
When dealing with cloud thieves, these two results face completely different difficulties and completely different gains.
"No." Old Taoist Chen Jing said without hesitation. "Among the cloud and mist thieves, there is not one who has transcended the tribulation realm!"
"Not one?" Lin Jiu was a little unbelievable - a group of Yuan Shen Da Cultivators robbed a lot of cultivation resources for three hundred years, and then not a single Tribulation Realm was left. So they robbed these resources, picture What?
"Indeed not." Old Taoist Chen Jing said in a frustrated voice, "In the past three hundred years, twelve of us have perfected our merits, but for some reason, every one of us had a problem when he achieved the state of overcoming the tribulation. Died in an accident."
"There was an accident?" Lin Jiu raised an eyebrow.
He knew that it was difficult for casual cultivators to overcome the tribulation, but it was beyond his expectation that it would be so difficult.
That’s twelve people!
"Is it really an accident?" Lin Jiu stared at Chen Jing and asked. Rather than saying it was an accident, he believed it was a man-made disaster.
"It's really an accident." Old Taoist Chen Jing said feebly, "The magic medicine is both medicine and poison. When I was practicing as a casual cultivator, I made too many mistakes, the foundation was unstable, and there was no chance to rebuild the foundation. Plus the poison contained in those elixirs."
"The twelve of them all died at the moment when they achieved the realm of transcending tribulation. The poison accumulated in their bodies exploded, polluting their magic power and died. If this were not the case, what you saw, Fellow Daoist Lin, was not the realm of the soul. I am the one who has transcended the tribulation realm."
"What Fellow Daoist Chen means is that the resources accumulated by the Yunwu Thieves can still accumulate at least one person who can transcend the tribulation realm?"
"Of course, the Cloud Mist Thief has been active for more than three hundred years. How can it be nothing?" Old Chen Jing responded, even a little arrogant in his words.
"Then fellow Taoist, can you tell me where the things that the Yunwu Thieves plundered are hidden?" Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes.
Regardless of whether it is according to Lin Jiu's plan or Xu Yan's plan, the next Shenyue Bay will inevitably be the place of the Four Wars, attracting an extremely large number of Rakshasa people and a large number of evil cultivators. Both Lin Jiu and Xu Yan would be exhausted - by that time, Lin Jiu would never have a chance to escape.
Therefore, the best time to collect the things looted by the Cloud Thieves is now!
As for identifying the cloud thief's treasure trove first and then taking it out after the blood-eating period, Lin Jiu couldn't make such an unreliable decision.
During the Blood Eating Period, countless Rakshasa people were fighting everywhere, and countless blood beasts were rushing around. In addition, there were mortals fleeing everywhere, practitioners who had gone to war, etc. It was impossible to tell how secret the cloud thief’s treasure was. There is a possibility of being knocked out.
If this is the case, when Lin Jiu goes to the Yunwu Thief's treasure hiding place after the period of blood eating, what he may see is nothing!
Of course Lin Jiu would not do such stupid things.
Whether it's money or resources for practice, it's better to just leave it in your pocket.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist is interested in this." Old Taoist Chen Jing persuaded, "As long as Fellow Daoist Lin can spare my life, then I am willing to take Fellow Daoist Lin to the treasure house."
Old Taoist Chen Jing lowered his head.
"I am not a bloodthirsty person." Lin Jiu said with the same frankness, "As long as fellow Taoist can take me to the place where the treasure is hidden, I will never harm the life of fellow Taoist - if there is any violation, Lin Jiu will be responsible for it." Just bitten by a toy snake."
"In this case, fellow Taoist, please listen to my guidance." Old Taoist Chen Jing closed his eyes for a moment, as if he was thinking about it. Soon, he made a decision.
