Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 483: Chapter 383: Zheng Yi Miscalculated

The several groups of Nether Spirit Race cultivators that fought with Bai Zhirui and the others were deliberately led there by Huiyue Demon Venerable.

Those few guys, although at the Foundation Establishment Stage, their strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

At least, they are above those few juniors of the Human Race.

Originally thought, they could definitely lure out the guy hidden in the shadows, allowing him to gauge the depth of this person’s power through his actions.

But from beginning to end, that guy never showed up personally.

Only in several urgent situations did he intervene through another, dealing with a few Nether Spirit Race cultivators.

Especially during the recent melee, he used the White Lotus Magical Artifact again.

Unfortunately, just by these few actions, Huiyue Demon Venerable really couldn’t discern the opponent’s true strength.

After all, considering every battle along the way, the hidden guy is definitely a master of deception.

Casually taking out a fake White Lotus Magical Artifact could cause the Nether Spirit Race cultivators to fight to the death, turning on each other.

Huiyue Demon Venerable even suspected that the battles along this route might be orchestrated by the opponent, with the purpose of tricking him into taking the bait.

The more it is like this, the less Huiyue Demon Venerable dared to act rashly.

Anyway, as long as he hadn’t probed the opponent’s true depth, he absolutely wouldn’t make a move.

If these ordinary cultivators all perished without finding out the opponent’s reality.

He even prepared to give up on the treasure he had coveted for so long.

Bai Zhirui, along with Lin Feng and Su Yao, started playing hide-and-seek with the Nether Spirit Race cultivators again.

But this time, they could clearly feel the pressure was several times stronger than before.

Perhaps because of the heavy casualties, the remaining Nether Spirit Race cultivators began to truly collaborate.

Zheng Yi more than once felt someone was using the Divination Method to calculate their location.

Several times, when they changed directions, they almost ran into those Nether Spirit Race cultivators.

This indicated that the opponent had already begun planning a preemptive encirclement.

So far, the three were still able to evade in advance under Zheng Yi’s warning.

But faced with such a huge difference in numbers, being completely blocked was only a matter of time.

"Land!" Bai Zhirui urgently reminded Lin Feng who was maneuvering the Flying Sword.

Having collaborated for so long, the mutual understanding between them was beyond words.

Lin Feng immediately pressed down the Flying Sword, landing in a wood.

Su Yao had the Kunyi Hairpin ready, and in the blink of an eye, the three disappeared underground.

After several dozen breaths, three Nether Spirit Race cultivators arrived at the place where they had vanished.

"Damn! Missed them again by a step. Are these Human Race guys rabbits, running so fast?"

"If they weren’t so good at running, they’d be long dead by now. Quick, report this position to Lord Lanshan to adjust the encirclement in time."

Seeing his companion’s frustrated expression, the person next to him laughed and consoled, "No need to panic, they won’t run for long."

Su Yao, along with Bai Zhirui and Lin Feng, stealthily traveled a hundred miles underground.

Just thinking of returning to the surface, Bai Zhirui’s warning rang out: "Don’t move, there’s someone nearby."

Su Yao quickly halted, not daring to move a muscle.

After waiting for a tea’s time, Zheng Yi confirmed that those guys had left, then informed Bai Zhirui for them to return to the surface.

Though when not hurrying, the Kunyi Hairpin didn’t consume too much magical power.

However, Su Yao, being only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn’t hide them underground for too long.

"Master, their encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. Continuing to hide like this seems unsustainable, right?" Bai Zhirui asked, worried.

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly; if it hadn’t been for that guy trying to feign death to escape earlier, drawing all the pursuers over.

They could have continued using that non-existent treasure to defeat these Nether Spirit Race guys one by one.

Scattered in various places, even if the Nether Spirit Race cultivators knew many of their people were killed, they wouldn’t care too much.

After all, considering Bai Zhirui and the trio’s strength was just so-so, most would believe the slain were merely careless, thinking they wouldn’t be affected.

But when they gathered together, realizing their numbers had halved.

Even idiots would realize they couldn’t continue dispersing.

Among these Nether Spirits, there were also cunning individuals.

The opponent’s means were simple yet effective.

The ones in charge of searching didn’t need to chase once they found them, just needed to notify everyone of the location.

Then, based on their movements, slowly shrink the encirclement.

No matter how cunning Zheng Yi might be, the opponent simply turned a blind eye, you run your way, I’ll encircle mine.

Facing a force already superior, Zheng Yi was powerless to act.

"At this stage..." Being helpless didn’t mean Zheng Yi had no solutions.

Just couldn’t easily deal with all the pursuers as before.

Moreover, he had to be ready to strike at any moment.

Two Nether Spirit Race cultivators were maneuvering around as instructed by Lanshan.

Because they were farther from the place where Bai Zhirui and the others had appeared.

Thus, these two Nether Spirit Race cultivators couldn’t help but be a little careless.

"It’s really unfortunate these days, so many of us being toyed around by a few juniors of the Human Race."

"Be grateful. The two of us are lucky not to have caught up with them. Otherwise, our souls might have scattered long ago."
