Chapter 120: When a Tiger Falls to the Plains, It Is Bullied by Dogs; When a Dragon Falls to Shallow Waters, It Is Mocked by Shrimp!
"No bother, no bother, you coming in is exactly right."
Lin Potian walked over with a smile, wrapped his arms around Li Tie's neck, and suddenly exerted force with his hands!
"You are not...!"
Before Li Tie could even finish his sentence, his neck was snapped instantly; he stared at Lin Potian with wide eyes, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
The next second, a mysterious light suddenly flew out from Li Tie's corpse and submerged into the center of Lin Potian's brow!
Name: Li Tie
Personal connections: A partner in crime with Huang Gou, preparing to entrap and kill the other two Reception Envoys, Zhang Ben and Fan Yu, to eat them.
Next step: The person above, Cai Xukun, ordered Li Tie and Huang Gou to go to Xiaoyao Mansion to gather and dig for Black Oil.
Lin Potian clutched his slightly throbbing head, stunned: "How do I have his memories??"
"And digging for Black Oil... what is Black Oil?"
"Could it be that one gains memories after death? Then why didn't Huang Gou, Zhang Ben, and Fan Yu provide memories earlier?"
But since he had them, Lin Potian did not want to delve deeper for now; although they were not very complete, it was still better than crossing the river by feeling for stones!
After disposing of the scene, Lin Potian rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "Four people died all at once; I must think of a solution, otherwise I will be discovered before I even get out..."
Lin Potian paced back and forth, then a flash of inspiration struck!
There were plenty of people in the Heaven-Connecting Order!
Hundreds of thousands of Lin Family clansmen, the widows of the Dragon-man Clan, Ao Yin, Ao Wushuang, Di Tian, and others—these were all ready-made hands!
However, he didn't need many right now, just one person. After weighing it over, Lin Potian decided to call out Di Tian.
"Lin Potian, this is the Immortal Domain? It doesn't look like it at all!"
As soon as Di Tian came out, his excited heart was instantly doused with cold water. All he saw was a desolate landscape, the sky was gray and hazy, and yellow sand filled the air in the distance—it looked exactly like a place where birds wouldn't even lay eggs!
Lin Potian shook his head with a bitter smile and briefly recounted the Endless Divine Land and what had just happened.
Di Tian's eyes widened in complete shock. He tried to mobilize his Great Emperor Power, and sure enough, just as Lin Potian had said, he couldn't draw it out at all!
His lips parted slightly, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. He just stared blankly at Lin Potian, his eyes full of shock, and then covered his face and said: "This... what do we do now?"
Lin Potian shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and said: "We can only take it one step at a time now, but since we were able to come over, there must be a way back."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian nodded and said: "Sigh, that's all we can do. But since you can acquire memories, we won't be walking on thin ice."
Di Tian felt completely numb; he had thought he was going to the Upper Immortal Domain, but he ended up in this godforsaken place!
He didn't blame Lin Potian; he just felt he was truly unlucky!
"No time to lose, I will disguise myself as Li Tie." Di Tian spoke quickly and began to act.
Just then, a voice like a rooster's crow sounded at the door: "Are you ready? If you're ready, let's go. This trip will take ten days or half a month; remember to eat your fill. Four people—that should be enough for you to eat, right!"
As soon as the voice came out, Di Tian was visibly flustered, and his speed of disguise suddenly increased!
Lin Potian frowned slightly and began to think. That voice outside was clearly the person above in Li Tie's memories, Cai Xukun. As for what he said about eating his fill...
"That actually saves a lot of trouble."
Lin Potian murmured. He had been wondering how to deal with the two Reception Envoys he had killed, but now, he didn't even need to wipe his own tracks!
After a few moments, Di Tian finished disguising himself as 'Li Tie' and opened the door, following Lin Potian, who was disguised as 'Huang Gou'.
What met Lin Potian's eyes was a tall and thin man. Unlike the others he had encountered, this man finally had a human form in the strict sense, and his appearance was actually quite good, except that his complexion was extremely pale and he coughed incessantly. He glanced at the Jade Tablet hanging on his neck, which read—Cai Xukun.
Lin Potian's first impression was that the man lived up to his name; this person must be kidney-deficient.
"Greetings, Lord Xukun."
"Greetings, Lord Xukun."
Lin Potian and Di Tian bowed together.
Cai Xukun nodded slightly and said impatiently: "So slow, follow me quickly!"
After saying that, he walked straight ahead.
Lin Potian and Di Tian exchanged a glance and followed.
Di Tian was extremely curious about this world. As he walked, he glanced at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision. It was no different from the Heavens, except for the fact that there were nine suns hanging in the sky here, and the temperature was extremely high!
"Don't look around. If you see something you shouldn't, Li Tie, your head might move to a new home in the next second!"
Cai Xukun, walking in front, snorted coldly without looking back, warning Di Tian.
"Yes."
Di Tian gave a sheepish smile and lowered his head, but there was clear displeasure in his eyes. Seeing this, Lin Potian immediately gave Di Tian a look, signaling him not to be impulsive.
After walking for a while, Cai Xukun stopped in front of a mine entrance. It was deep and dark, and a pungent smell of sulfur permeated the area around the entrance, accompanied by low, rumbling sounds that came occasionally, as if some behemoth were breathing in its sleep deep underground?
Cai Xukun turned back, pointed at the mine with his pale finger, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is it. Once you go in, be honest and don't cause trouble. Remember the fifty-fifty split; I will search you when you come out. Give me fifty percent of the Black Oil."
After saying this, Cai Xukun stepped aside and handed two hoes to Lin Potian and Di Tian. The meaning was self-evident: he wanted the two of them to go in.
Hearing that he would be searched, Lin Potian's heart tightened. He had too many secrets on him; what would happen if this Cai Xukun searched him?
And this Cai Xukun's strength was not particularly high, roughly equivalent to the level of an Immortal King. Although Lin Potian could not mobilize his Immortal Power, relying on his late-stage Immortal King physique, dealing with him would still be easy, and wouldn't even require much effort.
But the rustling footsteps and tapping sounds inside the mine made Lin Potian afraid to act rashly.
And as for Black Oil, Lin Potian still had no idea what it was or what it was used for...
If it were some kind of opportunity and he missed it, that would certainly be a huge pity!
Di Tian had no objections; he had a worthless life anyway, he took life and death lightly, and if he didn't like it, he'd just fight!
"We will be honest and won't cause trouble."
Lin Potian carried the hoe and walked in to lead the way, and Di Tian quickly followed.
"Fifty-fifty? When you come out, I want all of it!"
Cai Xukun smiled coldly, his figure gradually disappearing into the shadows.
However, they had only gone a few steps inside when Lin Potian and Di Tian encountered a situation.
Several strange-looking, burly men blocked their path, and the one in the middle said mockingly, "New here?"
Lin Potian did not respond; wasn't this just asserting dominance and trying to extort a sum of money?
He had seen this kind of trick far too many times; it was all stuff he had played with and discarded!
Leading Di Tian, Lin Potian walked straight toward two empty seats ahead.
"Our boss Mu Bai is asking you a question, are you fucking deaf?"
Seeing that the boss in the middle was clearly losing face, a lackey on the side cursed angrily and threw a fierce punch at the back of Lin Potian's head!
"I'm giving you face, and you're acting like this?"
Lin Potian was also enraged; not only had he arrived in this godforsaken place for no reason, but these small fries even wanted to step on him?
Then he wouldn't mind letting these few small fries know what it meant to say that an Immortal cannot be insulted!
Boom!
Lin Potian turned around and threw a punch directly!
