Chapter 435: Totem (I)
Deep within the mountains and ancient forest, lush green leaves stretched like a vast canopy, while massive tree trunks rose from the earth in a tangled web. A gentle breeze drifted through, setting the shadows swaying as strands of sunlight filtered down through the gaps.Lin Zheyu's speed was astonishing. With a light tap of his toes, he could dart more than three hundred meters in an instant. His physique had grown incredibly powerful after repeated transformations, and with sheer physical strength alone, he could already reach speeds comparable to the speed of sound. With the addition of true origin to break through air resistance, he could easily push himself to nearly twice the speed of sound.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Lin Zheyu moved with effortless grace, turning into a fleeting shadow as he sped through the forest. The scenery within a radius of more than two thousand meters flashed through his mind as he advanced at high speed. Suddenly, his brow twitched, and he came to a stop atop a large tree.
Why are they here? Lin Zheyu thought in surprise.
Within his Perception Domain, several familiar auras appeared in his awareness. They were the same suspicious group he had noticed earlier at Tranquil Waters Restaurant. After his probing had been discovered, he had avoided the place entirely. He did not expect to run into them here. Back then, there had been six of them. Now, he could only detect three within his Perception Domain.
Could it just be a coincidence?
His Perception Domain rapidly contracted, avoiding those people. Among them was the one who had discovered his probing earlier. That person's strength remained unknown, which made Lin Zheyu wary. He had no intention of clashing with them recklessly. With a shift of his body, he quickly moved away.

Elsewhere, Qian Baiyan, Tu Xihao, and Jing Xinyue all wore grim expressions. Moving at high speed, they used their escape techniques to weave swiftly through the forest.
"Fellow Daoist Tu, are we safe yet?" Jing Xinyue transmitted. After fleeing continuously, her spirit power was heavily depleted, and she was struggling to keep going.
"The sense of danger is still there. Keep moving. Head straight for the nearest Linjiang City. Once we're inside, with the Heaven-Monitoring Formation in place, they won't dare follow," Tu Xihao replied through transmission.
