I Can Travel between Two Worlds

It’s a Core Formation Cultivator from Lingxuan City, here to deliver Spirit Stones.

Soon, the Array Peak Master found Lin Chen and handed over the remaining three million Spirit Stones.

After receiving the Spirit Stones and counting them, Lin Chen gave the Golden Yuan Pill and Magical Treasure to the Array Peak Master.

Then he asked:

"I wonder what Peak Master Wang and the Righteous Alliance plan to do with those traitors?"

The Array Peak Master pondered for a moment after hearing this, as such confidential matters wouldn’t be shared with anyone else.

But the intelligence came from Lin Chen...

So the Array Peak Master said:

"I have already contacted the Sect Leader and several trusted elders of the Celestial Pill Sect..."

"This time, we plan to turn the tables..."

Just as Lin Chen had initially thought.

Since they had discovered the identity of the insider, not seizing the opportunity to stage a grand drama would be a major loss.

Therefore, the Array Peak Master’s idea was to arrange an attack and deliberately let the insider learn of the information.

Finally, turn the tables and capture both the insider and the Demon Cultivator in one fell swoop!

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen stroked his chin and said:

"In that case, does Peak Master Wang plan to make a big play?"

"What big play?"

The Array Peak Master looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"I heard that Wu Xingkui has a Nascent Soul level puppet..."

"If I can entangle that puppet, does the Righteous Alliance have the confidence to kill Wu the Old Monster?"

Upon hearing this, the Array Peak Master was momentarily stunned.

Then his heart started pounding, as that was indeed Puppet Hall Master Wu Xingkui!

A Nine Revolutions Golden Core Cultivator...

He alone is worth more than ten Golden Core Cultivators!

If Wu the Old Monster could be killed... it might change the battle situation at the front lines!

Thinking of this, the Array Peak Master swallowed and said:

"Taoist Friend Xu... are you really confident?"

Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Even if I can’t defeat that Nascent Soul Puppet, he won’t easily defeat me either!"

Lin Chen was speaking the truth.

His current Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Martial Venerable Peak, equivalent to a Golden Core Peak Body Cultivator.

Also, Lin Chen’s Martial Spirit is the Candle Dragon!

Coupled with his Seven-Turned Golden Core cultivation, nearing Half-Step Nascent Soul True Essence...

Even though he couldn’t defeat a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Blood Pupil who had lived for thousands of years.

But to deal with a Nascent Soul Stage puppet, Lin Chen had some confidence.

After all, the combat power of a puppet is inferior to cultivators of the same realm.

Lin Chen estimated that the Nascent Soul puppet was equivalent to the early Nascent Soul Stage...

Otherwise, that Golden Core Cultivator wouldn’t have survived to bring back the news before dying...

"However..."

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"But Peak Master Wang, our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect never engages in losing deals..."

"If I help you block that Nascent Soul puppet, what price can you offer?"

The Array Peak Master showed a wry smile, then tentatively asked:

"Taoist Friend Xu, what price do you think is appropriate?"

The Array Peak Master also knew that in the struggle of the Orthodox and Demonic Parties, the Righteous Alliance was currently at a disadvantage.

Though it seems calm now, they’ve been pushed to the edge of a cliff...

Now, the Righteous Alliance urgently needs a major victory to turn the tide.

If Lin Chen could act and really block that Nascent Soul puppet.

The possibility of killing Wu Xingkui would greatly increase...

Once Wu Xingkui is dead, the Demon Sect would surely lose morale.

The Righteous Alliance might even retake Xinliang City...

At the very least, the Righteous Alliance could hold out for a few more years.

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then stretched out two fingers.

"Two million Spirit Stones, and I’ll help you block that Nascent Soul Stage puppet."

Then Lin Chen extended another finger and said:

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones to help you kill a Core Formation Demon Cultivator, double for mid Core Formation... five hundred thousand Spirit Stones for late Core Formation!"

"In addition..."

Lin Chen waved his hand, and ten Martial Arts Puppets appeared in the room.

Five Long Ba, five Feng Jiu.

"In addition, these puppets of mine also have the strength of a mid Core Formation, which you can borrow when the time comes..."

"As for the price, how about ten thousand Spirit Stones for each puppet?"

Lin Chen paused for a moment and then enticed:

"Even if you want to detonate the Celestial Thunder Master within one of the puppets... detonate one for a million spirit stones!"

Lin Chen’s words were straightforward, with honest pricing.

The Array Peak Master widened his eyes as he looked at the martial arts puppets around him.

Holy moly, does the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect conduct business like this?

Ten puppets comparable to the mid-stage Core Formation, just brought out like that?

"Taoist Friend Xu... this is of great importance... please wait a moment."

The Array Peak Master quickly contacted Wang Changchun again.

On the other end of the Communication Jade Scroll, Wang Changchun sent a message and then remained silent for a long time.

It seemed he was communicating with others.

After quite a while, the Array Peak Master, with an excited expression, said:

"Taoist Friend Xu, our Righteous Alliance is willing to offer three million spirit stones... requesting your intervention with these ten martial arts puppets!"

"As for the spoils of battle, can they be settled afterward?"

Lin Chen nodded in agreement and said:

"Fine."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for your news... when you’re about to act, just activate this stone... I’ll naturally be aware!"

Lin Chen handed over a transparent stone.

The Array Peak Master received it solemnly and carefully put it away.

Lin Chen maintained a calm expression, but felt somewhat peculiar inside.

This stone was actually just a Blue Star artifact and wasn’t linked to his abilities...

But as long as the plan proceeds, Lin Chen himself would naturally know.

At that time, he would transform into the likeness of Xu Shi to intervene.

"Before acting, remember to have the three million spirit stones ready."

Lin Chen waved his hand, putting away the ten martial arts puppets.

He then left Qinghe City, heading towards the Fog Mountain range.

Fog Mountain is shrouded in thick fog, allowing Lin Chen to infiltrate it, staying undetected by even Nascent Soul cultivators.

After entering Fog Mountain, Lin Chen also hid within an underground safe house.

Transforming into his original appearance afterward, he stealthily slipped back into his mansion.

"Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve done business... these three million spirit stones are not bad!"

Lin Chen’s lips curled up; he hadn’t earned many spirit stones over the past years.

Including the newly gained three million, his total savings were just over ten million spirit stones.

If not for the bounty from that Blood Pupil Old Demon, Lin Chen might have already reached the Third Stage of the Devouring Spirit Root.

Thinking of this made Lin Chen somewhat unhappy.

"Hmph, Blood Pupil Old Demon... the spirit stones you owe me, this time I’ll earn them all back!"

...

Over the next two months, the standoff between the Orthodox and Demonic Parties continued as usual, with no significant changes.

During this period, Lin Chen returned to Blue Star, where he devoured ten million spirit stones, strengthening his Devouring Spirit Root.

Thus, the Devouring Spirit Root was nearing the Third Stage, just short of an additional ten million spirit stones.

At the same time, Lin Chen’s Martial Arts Realm was nearly at the Martial Monarch stage, only one step away.

Qinghe City.

One day, while Lin Chen was cultivating in his mansion, he suddenly received a transmission from Han Jihai.

"Chen, come to my mansion."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a slight movement in his heart and muttered, "Judging by the timing, it’s almost time for the Righteous Alliance’s plan to begin."

Thus, Lin Chen headed to Han Jihai’s mansion.

Sure enough, the Array Peak Master was also present.

"Martial Uncle Wang!"

Lin Chen saluted.

The Array Peak Master nodded in return and said:

"Nephew Lin, we have a secret mission ahead. I will be taking Li Zhenqian and a few other Core Formation Elders, leaving Qinghe City."

"Meanwhile, the city will be handed over to you and Old Han for garrison duty..."

"This operation is critical, don’t mention it to anyone."

Lin Chen feigned surprise, cautiously asking:

"Martial Uncle, has the mole within the Righteous Alliance been identified?"

The Array Peak Master laughed and replied:

"Nephew Lin is indeed smart... that’s right, this time we are turning the tables... not only do we plan to expose the mole but also heavily damage the Demon Sect!"

"If this succeeds, the Demon Sect will have no strength to attack for at least the next ten years!"

"Therefore, you must protect Qinghe City thoroughly."

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this.

...

That day, the Array Peak Master took Li Zhenqian and some other Core Formation cultivators quietly to Lingxuan City.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen returned to his mansion, summoned a puppet to replace himself, transformed into Xu Shi’s likeness, and also secretly slipped out of the city.

"Finally, it’s time for the plan to be executed..." Lin Chen muttered.
