Chapter 997 - 332: Quota (Part 3)

A cyan jade ruler measuring a few inches suddenly appeared in his right hand.

A ghostly light was emitted from the jade ruler, aiming directly at Lin Zheyu’s head, moving at an unbelievable speed, and the entire process was silent.

Whoosh~~

The jade ruler struck Lin Zheyu’s forehead but passed through his figure.

"I am Xiao Zhe, greetings, fellow Daoist. May I know how to address you?"

Lin Zheyu slowly appeared from the left side, smiling at the middle-aged cultivator in green robes, and asked indifferently.

After cultivating the Third Layer of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch to perfection.

Lin Zheyu’s mastery of spatial rules became smoother, and with the Heavenly Deceit Skill, there were very few cultivators below the Nascent Soul who could detect Lin Zheyu’s whereabouts.

The middle-aged cultivator in green robes before him only had strength around the Middle Stage of the Golden Elixir and lacked strong divine sense.

If Lin Zheyu had not appeared voluntarily, he would not have been discovered at all.

"So it’s Mr. Xiao, I am Xi Chi of the Yanyue Sect, pleased to meet Mr. Xiao."

"Mr. Xu mentioned you to me, and upon meeting you today, I see your strength is truly remarkable."

The middle-aged cultivator in green robes cupped his hands towards Lin Zheyu with a smile.

However, a trace of solemnity flashed deep in his eyes.

How terrifying the speed!

What a powerful stealth ability!

If the other party had any malicious intent just now, Xi Chi thought to himself, he would have hardly been able to avoid it.

’Xiao Zhe, Mr. Xiao?’

’Is this the senior’s real name?’

Both U Di and the strange woman had such thoughts upon hearing, but they didn’t dare to question it at all.

"Greetings, Mr. Xiao!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

Both U Di and the strange woman hurriedly stood up and respectfully saluted Lin Zheyu.

They had been shocked by the mysterious ability that Lin Zheyu had just displayed; such ghostly movements were truly strange and astonishing.

"Hmm."

Lin Zheyu nodded slightly towards the two of them and then turned his gaze to Xi Chi.

This time, he had come specifically for Xi Chi.

"Greetings, Mr. Xu."

"I heard you have a recommendation slot to participate in the Celestial Derivation Sect’s Array Dao Exchange Meeting. What conditions must be met for you to be willing to part with it?"

Lin Zheyu cupped his hands and asked.

The information provided by U Di was vague.

This fellow Daoist of the Yanyue Sect named Xi Chi agreed to meet after learning of his demonic cultivation identity.

But when asked what conditions were required for trade, the other party remained silent, insisting on a face-to-face meeting.

"I heard you’re a demonic cultivator? May I know your current realm?" Xi Chi’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked in a subtle tone, with a hint of respect.

In the cultivation realm, strength is respected, and the strong naturally gain respect, which is why Lin Zheyu chose to display his abilities upon arrival.

"Yes, I am indeed a demonic cultivator. As for my realm, you might consider me to be at the Middle Stage of the Golden Elixir," Lin Zheyu said with a light smile.

In terms of combat power, having mastered the Third Layer of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch and the Seven Extremes Blade God and Demon Extinction, he was confident enough to take on even those at Golden Elixir Perfection.

"Oh?"

"Would you allow me to witness your abilities?" Xi Chi asked with a slight change of expression, in a soft voice.

"Why not?"

Lin Zheyu said indifferently.

With a thought, the demonic flesh energy stored in the storage bag surged out instantly, flowing into his body.

The golden Martial Arts Divine Pattern quickly transformed into a dark purple under the influx of demonic energy.

An evil, filthy, and terrifying aura emanated from Lin Zheyu as dark purple scale armor emerged, covering his right arm.

His right arm slowly swelled, resembling the body of a demon.

"Go ahead."

Lin Zheyu said evenly.

"Then I shall be forward."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Zheyu, a trace of joy flashed in Xi Chi’s eyes; indeed, he was a demonic cultivator.

Such pure demonic energy could not be faked.

Ordinary cultivators, even martial artists and sorcerers, would not dare to let demonic energy penetrate so deeply into their bodies.

"Go!"

Xi Chi lightly chanted, and the jade ruler in his hands, about a foot long, transformed into a ghostly light, shooting towards Lin Zheyu.

This jade ruler was Xi Chi’s life-bound magical treasure, named the Godslaying Ruler.

When struck by the Godslaying Ruler, one would suffer dual attacks on the body and soul, its power incredibly formidable.

Facing the attack of the Godslaying Ruler, Lin Zheyu stood calmly in place, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

He neither dodged nor evaded; his right arm, covered with dark purple scale armor, clenched his fist lightly and punched towards the jade ruler.

Ding ding ding——

The Godslaying Ruler collided with Lin Zheyu’s fist, emitting a series of crisp, continuous metallic clashing sounds.

As a life-bound magical treasure of a Middle Stage of Golden Elixir cultivator, under Xi Chi’s control, the Godslaying Ruler reached an exquisite level of mastery.

The speed of the jade ruler was swift, and U Di and the strange woman could only vaguely capture an almost imperceptible shadow.

"Is this the true power of a Golden Elixir expert? The gap is so vast that I can’t even capture the trajectory of the magical treasure!"

U Di was shocked internally.

With limited aptitude and resources, he had relied on the Thousand-Year Purple Infant Fruit to successfully attain the Fake Elixir Realm.

Initially, U Di was quite satisfied with his current strength. Even though it was a fake elixir, it was, more or less, close to a Golden Core.

However, after witnessing the strength of the two seniors in front of him, a deep sense of loss surged within U Di’s heart.

Fake elixir is, after all, just a fake elixir.

Ding ding ding!

The sound of collision echoed in the hall, and the energy ripples that burst out caused U Di and the strange woman to involuntarily step back, leaving the hall area.

From beginning to end, Lin Zheyu maintained an air of calm, as if he were not the one fighting, as if he were merely a spectator.
