Chapter 139: Chapter 122: Three Days and Nights, Chasing for a Hundred Thousand Li! (Second Update)
Clearly, in this simulation, Su Xing\'s strength was significant enough to arouse the wariness of the Damned Zong!
Thus, the Damned Zong did not resort to forceful measures but instead wanted to make a trade with Su Xing.
"Indeed, everything has to be based on strength! Without it, not even a chance for negotiation exists!"
Moved by curiosity about what exactly the Damned Zong wanted to trade with him for, Su Xing continued to read.
[The Damned Zong tells you that he has learned you are the one who sold Spirit Rice in large quantities. He says Spirit Rice is no ordinary commodity, and those mortals are not worthy of consuming it; hence, he wants to trade with you for Spirit Rice.]
[Looking at the Damned Zong\'s pretentious demeanor, you are struck with an idea and demand Snow Bone Jade Ginseng.]
[Upon hearing your request for the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, the Damned Zong\'s expression subtly changes, and he gives you a deep look.]
[Observing the Damned Zong\'s reaction, you understand that he may indeed possess Snow Bone Jade Ginseng or, at the very least, have heard of this medicinal ingredient.]
[You promptly express that if the Damned Zong is willing to offer Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, you are willing to trade anything for it.]
[The Damned Zong smiles at your words but then claims he has never heard of such an ingredient before leaving.]
[Seizing the moment before the Damned Zong departs, you quickly plant the seed of the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique on him!]
Su Xing\'s eyes gleamed with excitement as he muttered to himself,
"Finally, could the whereabouts of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng be within reach? Maybe the Damned Zong has this medicinal ingredient on him! At the very least, he should know where it is!"
With this thought, Su Xing\'s desire to "inherit the legacy of the Damned Zong" intensified!
As for how to inherit it... the natural course was to take him down first, then rightful succession!
"However, the Damned Zong is full of tricks, and he also has the ability to sense danger and avoid it, escaping my ambush time after time. It seemed utterly impossible for me alone to deal with him..."
After some contemplation, Su Xing muttered to himself,
"Only a Legendary Level power may deal with him with a near-certain victory!"
Having decided, Su Xing continued to look at the simulation panel.
[You let the Damned Zong leave without opting to strike immediately. Even with the temptation to break through to Divinity Transformation, you knew you were unlikely to be the Damned Zong\'s match. Moreover, this was the foothold of the Descending Sect; you simply couldn\'t slay the Damned Zong here.]
[Afterwards, you returned to your dwelling and practiced the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique day and night, eventually mastering the Divine Skill thoroughly enough to sense the location of the person marked with your Divine Sense.]
[The next year, you spent several months concocting Soul Condensing Pills, exchanging the three-zhang long Condensing Spirit Wood from the treasury through Luo Shuying. In just a few months, you crafted over a thousand Soul Condensing Pills.]
[You gave three hundred Soul Condensing Pills to Luo Shuying, understanding the immense benefit they would have for her and their help in her breakthrough!]
[You concocted many top-quality Soul Condensing Pills, and next, you prepared to completely assimilate this batch to enhance your own Divine Sense!]
[In the first month, you consumed one Soul Condensing Pill every three days. In just one month, your Divine Sense grew from fifty zhang to a hundred and fifty zhang!]
[In the second month, you consumed ten Soul Condensing Pills, and your Divine Sense extended to two hundred and fifty zhang!]
[In the third month, you took fifteen Soul Condensing Pills, and your Divine Sense reached three hundred zhang!]
[The fourth month... the sixth month... the eighth month&]
[Following that, you spent a year solely focusing on one thing—increasing your Divine Sense strength, apart from completing the necessary tasks. In just one year, with the profound effects of the Soul Condensing Pills, your Divine Sense grew to over six hundred zhang!]
[In theory, this was already comparable to the Divine Sense strength of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator. However, you knew the Damned Zong had profound depths and surely more than this, and since you always liked to have an ace up your sleeve, you continued consuming Soul Condensing Pills to increase your Divine Sense strength!]
[In the third year, after another year of consuming elixirs, you increased your Divine Sense range from six hundred zhang to eight hundred and fifty zhang!]
[This was far beyond the Divine Sense strength of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and although you hadn\'t reached your limit, the Soul Condensing Pills had slowly become less effective on your Divine Sense.]
[At this time, Luo Shuying informed you that she had successfully broken through to the Legendary Level. You knew it was time to make your move!]
[In the past two years, the Damned Zong seemed to have sensed something and stayed mostly within the Descending Sect headquarters, rarely leaving. However, you had patience. Knowing that the Damned Zong, as a protector, must eventually leave on missions, you prepared to strike at that moment!]
[You activated the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, feeling the Damned Zong\'s location. With your Divine Sense strength, he couldn\'t escape your tracking within thousands of li!]
[So, you patiently waited.]
[This wait lasted two years!]
```
[In these two years, you have not been idle. On one hand, you continued to enhance the strength of your Divine Sense, on the other hand, you farmed daily and amassed elixirs. In your Spirit Field Blessed Land, you have already stocked over ten million kilograms of Spirit Rice, and you also refined more than one hundred thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills, Organ Refining Pills, and other elixirs.]
[You were only waiting for the day to strike down that Damned Zong, and then you and Luo Shuying would defect from the Descending Sect!]
[In the sixth year, as fortune favors the diligent, Damned Zong had been staying in the sect headquarters without going out on missions, which had caused dissatisfaction among the leaders of the fervent faction. With no other choice, Damned Zong was forced to go out on a mission.]
[Upon discovering this information in secret, you promptly notified Luo Shuying to prepare for action!]
Su Xing, upon seeing this, felt a slight surge of excitement and muttered:
"Finally, that old fox, Damned Zong, has shown his weakness!"
"If he had kept holing up inside the Descending Sect, I really would have had no way to deal with him… The Descending Sect has at least three Legendary Level powerhouses, I\'m afraid I would need to muster the top combat forces of half the Great Xia Country to potentially kill Damned Zong within the Descending Sect… That\'s rather unrealistic."
"But as long as this guy leaves the Descending Sect, then everything becomes much easier!"
Su Xing seemed to have already envisioned the moment Luo Shuying killed Damned Zong, and he himself blissfully obtained Damned Zong\'s legacy.
"But I shouldn\'t get too excited too early! That Damned Zong is cunning and scheming, we must not let our guard down until the very last moment!"
Su Xing reminded himself mentally, then continued looking at the simulation panel.
[Damned Zong had left the territory of the Descending Sect and then darted into the mountains, escaping toward the west.]
[You didn\'t rush to take action because Damned Zong had just left the Descending Sect by less than a hundred kilometers. For a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator at Great Perfection, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to flee back, and you were not confident you could kill him in such a short time.]
[So, you continued staying inside the sect, ready to notify Luo Shuying at any moment, and you used your secret technique, the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, to constantly sense Damned Zong\'s position…]
[Damned Zong stayed in the mountains a hundred kilometers west of the Descending Sect for a full seven days, then went straight to the northern mountains and stayed there for another seven days.]
[After that, he sequentially visited the mountains to the east and south, always staying more than a hundred kilometers away from the Descending Sect, as if he was probing something.]
Su Xing slapped his thigh in realization and exclaimed:
"This Damned Zong is really too cautious! He\'s been staying a hundred kilometers away from the main camp of the Descending Sect, probably trying to fish!"
"This distance is definitely safe enough for him to escape back! And if he\'s doing this, he probably really noticed something!"
Su Xing was clear in his heart that Damned Zong must have sensed danger, otherwise, why would a normal person run around pointlessly?
"Heh, but this hunter of mine is even more patient than you can imagine!"
Su Xing muttered to himself and continued looking at the simulation panel.
[Damned Zong kept probing and gradually moved farther from the Descending Sect, from a hundred kilometers to three hundred kilometers… Just when you were preparing to take action, Damned Zong suddenly returned close to a hundred kilometers outside the Descending Sect and stayed there for a long time…]
[After knowing what Damned Zong did, you sneered, aware that he couldn\'t keep this up since the mission had a time limit. So, you simply continued alchemy and used the tracking technique to determine Damned Zong\'s position, ready to act as soon as he fled.]
[Three months passed like this, with Damned Zong circling between one hundred and three hundred kilometers from the Descending Sect without any discernible pattern.]
[One day, while sensing, Damned Zong arrived within three hundred kilometers northwest of the Descending Sect. Just when you thought he was running aimlessly as usual, Damned Zong suddenly sped up and darted hundreds of kilometers away within a few minutes.]
[You immediately reacted and promptly informed Luo Shuying that it was time to make a move.]
[As a Divine Strength Realm cultivator, you could travel a thousand miles in no time, while Luo Shuying was even better known for speed, her travel pace was even faster than yours.]
[Thus, you both pursued in the direction of Damned Zong!]
[In your sense, Damned Zong\'s escape speed kept increasing, as if he sensed something was chasing him!]
[With your speed, you surprisingly couldn\'t catch up with Damned Zong for a while, so you promptly informed Luo Shuying of the escape direction and asked her to chase alone first, while you would arrive shortly!]
[Thus, you chased for three days and nights, yet Damned Zong continued to flee, even escaping beyond the territorial range of the Great Xia Country.]
[By then, you had long separated from Luo Shuying, maintaining contact only through the mobile phone.]
[Suddenly, in your sensation, Damned Zong changed direction, not continuing northwest but fleeing southwest.]
[At this moment, Luo Shuying was completely unaware of this, so you quickly sent her a message, then pursued Damned Zong alone!]
[You chased southwest and prayed in your heart that Luo Shuying could meet up with you as soon as possible.]
[But at that moment, Damned Zong, who had been fleeing rapidly, suddenly stopped and headed straight towards you!]
[Your heart skipped a beat, to be honest you weren\'t sure if you could defeat Damned Zong…]
[But now, there was no time to think too much, you had to hold him off until Luo Shuying arrived!]
