Chapter 473

Otherwise, why would others specifically squat here? Isn't it specifically to hunt cultivators who come here to exchange for departure tokens!

Only these people clearly have many demon cores on them, and setting up an ambush here is definitely the most time-saving and labor-saving method!

If it were Lin Zhangqing who wanted to do such a bad thing, he would definitely adopt this method too.

So he said to Chen Zi Ya, "Those people are indeed damnable! But now is not the time to discuss this.

Let's start by refining these storage bags. Don't worry about the other things for now; find the various demon cores inside and give them to me first!"

Chen Zi Ya also knew that time was precious now, so she nodded, and then the two of them began to refine all the storage bags one by one.

They took out the demon cores they found and put them together. Lin Zhangqing specifically counted them this time, and there were sixty-two in total.

This made him unable to help but frown; this number was much less than he had expected.

Chen Zi Ya saw his appearance and knew what he was thinking, so she explained:

"On the backs of the hands of those three corpses, each had a departure mark and three small runes. These demon cores should be what they had left over!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded. He knew what Chen Zi Ya said was very reasonable, so he accepted this reality and poured all the demon cores he had just obtained into the Spirit-Offering Plate.

After a bit of golden light landed on the back of his hand and disappeared, he knew it was done!

However, there was still a suspicious place here, and they definitely had to investigate to see if Chen Zi Ya had found the right place! So his heart stirred, and the forty-eight second-tier Purple Crystal Scorpions patrolling outside the sacrificial formation immediately rushed over and surrounded the location Lin Zhangqing had designated.

This was very sudden, and it scared the two cultivators hiding inside to death, but at this time, they also confirmed that they had definitely been exposed.

Not daring to harbor any luck, they immediately followed the strategy they had discussed just now, before Lin Zhangqing and the other person could come over.

They rushed out from two directions of the Breath-Concealing Formation, and each of them had several defensive spirit talismans stuck on their bodies, as well as three or four defensive spiritual artifacts.

Most importantly, both of them were holding red jade talismans flashing with spiritual light, which looked like things used for fighting to the death or fleeing.

Clearly, they had already thought of a way, which was to desperately increase their defensive capabilities. After surviving a round of attacks, they would have a chance!

Unfortunately, as soon as they poked their heads out, each of them was attacked by more than twenty purple light rays.

The various defensive measures on their bodies were all broken at once, not leaving them any time to activate the red jade talismans in their hands.

After letting out two screams that were sharp to the extreme, they fell straight to the ground; both of them were almost shot into sieves.

At this time, they had only left the Breath-Concealing Formation by less than three zhang, which shows how clean and neat their deaths were!

When Lin Zhangqing and the other person got close, they discovered that these two people were both disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect.

Lin Zhangqing was afraid they weren't dead thoroughly, so he let the Purple Crystal Scorpions stab their heads a few more times.

The consequence of doing this was that the scene was relatively disgusting, looking red and white, but he still felt that safety was the most important! Afterwards, he went up personally and collected the spoils of war. He specifically took a look, and sure enough, on the backs of the hands of these two corpses, there were also departure marks and three small runes.

He also took out the red jade talismans the two people were holding in their hands and gave one to Chen Zi Ya. After the two of them studied it for a while, they both felt that this should be a kind of jade talisman used for fleeing.

In fact, in the past few days, they had also found similar things in the storage bags of other cultivators.

But both of them had classified them as sundries and didn't pay much attention to them!

It seems they should find a time to carefully study the things they had harvested, especially those whose functions were unclear!

At this time, Chen Zi Ya suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Green Brother! Do you think these two red jade talismans might be the Blood Escape Jade Talismans that evil sects like to use!"

Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but nod when he heard this; he felt it was really quite possible.

Don't cultivators of the Ghost Controlling Sect like to deal with things like spirit ghosts and essence blood!

So he said to Chen Zi Ya, "I feel it should be this thing. Why don't we find a time to try it out and we'll know!

By the way, there are still three Breath-Concealing Formations nearby. Do you want to take out the array disks?"

Chen Zi Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then began to cast a series of incantations towards that Breath-Concealing Formation.

Lin Zhangqing began to work, using the Fireball Technique to deal with the several corpses at the scene.

Including the corpse of the Wuwei Sect disciple in the storage bag, it was also dealt with together! After a while, Chen Zi Ya recovered the three array disks, and Lin Zhangqing said with a grin, "Ya'er! Should we try to see if we can track those people who ran away just now?"

Chen Zi Ya was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "Green Brother! Do you still know tracking secret arts?"

Lin Zhangqing said with a laugh, "Of course I don't know tracking secret arts! Let's not talk about the cultivator who ran away using the Earth Escape Technique, because we don't know which direction he would run in at all.

However, there were two people just now, and they should be in the same group. The directions they fled in were similar; one ran to the west, and one ran to the southwest-west.

It's late at night now, so I estimate they shouldn't have run too far, so let's try looking for one or two hundred miles in the southwest-west direction! If we still haven't found them after exceeding this distance, then we'll give up and not look anymore. How do you feel?"

Chen Zi Ya knew the chance of finding them wasn't high when she heard this, but since Lin Zhangqing was willing to go through the trouble, she would just accompany him! So she nodded, which was considered agreeing to Lin Zhangqing's proposal.

However, before setting off, Lin Zhangqing specifically picked up the fragments of the Thunder Escape Talisman and Wind Escape Talisman left at the scene.

And let Mao Qiu smell the scent on them. As a Spirit-Seeking Rat, it was relatively sensitive to scents, although it couldn't be specifically used for tracking.

But relying on this scent to judge whether those two people were nearby, he still had a little bit of confidence.

After packing up everything, the two of them set off. Just like before, Lin Zhangqing flew with Chen Zi Ya on his sword.

The light gauze treasure shrouded the two of them, and Mao Qiu was grabbed in Chen Zi Ya's hand.
