Chapter 2249 Being Targeted (1)

Yun Lintian turned toward the direction he felt and saw an ordinary-looking man looking at him with a faint smile. It was a smile that chilled his heart.

“What’s wrong?” Huang Zheng asked curiously, following Yun Lintian’s gaze. However, he saw nothing strange there.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow because he had just witnessed the man vanish into thin air without any energy fluctuation.

“Someone was watching me earlier. He disappeared without a trace under my perception,” he responded calmly.

Huang Zheng narrowed his eyes. “It must be the Nine Hells Gate. They actually dared to appear here?”

Yun Lintian looked around the arena thoughtfully. It was obvious that the man had deliberately exposed himself. This meant Yun Lintian had been watched for a long time without his knowledge.

“Don’t leave my side during this period,” Huang Zheng said with a serious expression. “Since they’ve shown up, they certainly have a follow-up plan. A hidden arrow is hard to guard against.”

“Understood,” Yun Lintian responded calmly. He wasn’t afraid of the Nine Hells Gate, but it was better to be cautious.

During this period, he could see the security level in Divine Light City was extremely high. The fact that the Nine Hells Gate could move around this place proved how capable they were.

“Don’t worry,” Huang Zheng said, looking at Yun Lintian. “No matter how crazy they are, they won’t dare to make a move here, especially during the competition.”

“Second Uncle, Huang Ba told me about the Nine Hells Gate before, but I still can’t figure out how strong they truly are. Can you give me a general idea of their strength?” Yun Lintian asked.

“Unfathomable,” Huang Zheng said in a deep voice. “Even my father cannot fathom their depths. Venerable Darkness is just a bigger ant in the organization. He might have a high status, but his authority is very limited. As for who his master is, I only have a vague idea. This person is undoubtedly related to the Western Nether God.”

“Western Nether God?” Yun Lintian was curious.

“There are plenty of True Gods outside the Holy Lands. The Western Nether God can be ranked in the top five in terms of strength. However, this person is extremely mysterious. My father once encountered him and ended up retreating,” Huang Zheng explained briefly.

“Even Grandpa Huang isn’t his match?” Yun Lintian was surprised. From his judgment, Huang Xian’s strength was far superior to Li Shan and Lan Qinghe. Perhaps he was even on par with Shi Xuan. It was unbelievable such a powerhouse was forced to retreat by the Western Nether God.

Huang Zheng nodded solemnly. “You are inexperienced in this regard. After visiting the Holy Lands, you will understand the power hierarchy of the Primal Chaos. My father can only be ranked in the intermediate level bracket at most.”

Yun Lintian was shocked. This made him realize how talented Qing Shui was to be able to stay in the Holy Lands under heavy pressure for a long period.

Huang Zheng took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, “I don’t know your purpose for entering the Holy Lands. However, listen to my advice. Do not reveal your strength easily and try to avoid conflict as much as possible. Not even my father can protect you once you offend some high-level True Gods. If you’re lucky, you might have a chance to escape.”

Yun Lintian smiled wryly. “I will try my best, Second Uncle. You know I have never been the instigator. It’s always the enemy who starts first.”

Huang Zheng smiled and said, “It’s because your temperament is different from others. It easily makes you stand out from the crowd.”

Yun Lintian didn’t know what to say. Perhaps it was his indifferent and calm attitude that attracted people’s attention.

Across the arena, Yun Liuli calmly watched the competition. At first, she had thought Yun Lintian would lose his life on the way here. After all, Venerable Darkness was also on board. Who would have thought Yun Lintian would arrive unscathed?

What surprised her even more was that Yun Lintian had eliminated Venerable Darkness. This was completely unexpected. It seemed she had to reassess his talent.

“It seems we already have winners,” Yun Rouxi said softly as she looked at the brilliant performances of Huang Ba, Gu Bingning, and Long Jingxia.

“I’m curious why Yun Lintian wouldn’t participate,” the woman beside her said doubtfully.

Yun Rouxi subconsciously glanced at Yun Lintian upon hearing this. She, too, had thought he would join the competition.

At this moment, Yun Lintian, who remained vigilant, immediately felt Yun Rouxi’s gaze. He quickly traced it back and was surprised to see her. He recognized her and her people; they were the mysterious cultivators he had seen in the Great Wilderness Realm.

Yun Rouxi was startled by Yun Lintian’s suddenly sharp gaze. She instinctively averted her eyes, making her look even more suspicious.

Meanwhile, Yun Liuli had no intention of hiding anything. She calmly met Yun Lintian’s gaze and turned away a moment later.

“This aura… They are…” Huang Zheng, who followed Yun Lintian’s gaze, frowned slightly when he saw Yun Liuli. Her aura was somewhat familiar to him, but there was a layer of concealment on it, preventing him from assessing her identity. freewebnovel.cσ๓

“Do you know them?” he asked Yun Lintian.

“No,” Yun Lintian responded softly. “But I believe they have been following me here.”

“Oh?” Huang Zheng raised his brow in surprise. “Judging from their appearance, they don’t seem to have malicious intentions. Are you sure you don’t know them?”

Yun Lintian shook his head and said nothing.

“I’m certain they are coming from the Holy Lands. Perhaps they are recruiting new talents,” Huang Zheng said thoughtfully.

However, Yun Lintian disagreed. He believed they must have a deeper purpose in following him. Who were they?

A few hours passed. The competition gradually approached its final stage. Huang Ba, Gu Bingning, Long Jingxia, and Xiao Hu were still going strong, having almost reached the end of the maze. It was only a matter of time before they finished.

Meanwhile, more than ten thousand people had also reached the halfway point, successfully securing their tickets to the Holy Lands.

“Look! We have the first winner!”

Everyone quickly scanned the screens and saw Huang Ba walking towards the end of the maze. His robe was tattered, but his eyes brimmed with fighting spirit.

“Finally,” Huang Ba let out a long breath as he saw the exit ahead. With his axe on his shoulder, he strode firmly toward the exit.
