Lin Rui had just flown out of the underground palace and his expression shifted slightly as he thoughtfully looked back.
He felt he was being tailed.
The person must be one of the many Fifth Realm masters who had entered the underground palace, and because these people had been watching from afar without approaching, Lin Rui hadn't paid much attention.
However, after he came out, this person followed him for more than ten miles.
Lin Rui turned his head and looked at Blood Blade Ji with an inquisitive gaze, seeing Ji Xueying holding the blade and nodding slightly.
He immediately knew his intuition was correct.
Now this became interesting, how could this person dare to follow him after seeing him kill Duan Pengxuan and Zhou Changgong?
Lin Rui opened the chat window with Fei Yunlai.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Old Fei, how well have you recovered now? Are you confident enough to deal with Sixth Realm power? That person should be stronger than that demon dragon but definitely weaker than Duan Pengxuan.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Can't beat them, if I could handle the Sixth Realm, I would have gone to Qin Yan's underground palace to take a look. There should still be some good stuff in there, mainly because the vital energy is too depleted to keep up with the consumption.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): So you mean you can have a go. Right, since you dared to settle scores with Meng Weiyun, you must have regained some combat power. I remember that Professor Han's base is hiding two "Ferocious Blood 6 combat stimulants." Have your Magic Beast Protector and Battle Dragon inject them and come to help.
This was something he had seen in the fridge at the base during surgery last time.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Hey, are you trying to get me to risk my life? This kind of stimulant consumes a lot of vital energy. After using that stuff, my Magic Beast Protector and Battle Dragon will have to delay for over a month.
Fei Yunlai thought if he could repay the life-saving favor for Lin Rui, it wouldn't be out of the question.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Old Fei, it seems you're working as a mercenary now? A mercenary fee of 50 million federal dollars, let's add it to your surgery bill.
As far as Lin Rui knew, hiring a 6S+ level expert for a high-risk mission nowadays would cost about that much.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Deal! BOSS, where are you now? I'll send them over immediately.
At that moment in the underground base, Fei Yunlai was ecstatically climbing out of the sleeping pod, never expecting to earn this life-saving money at this time; it was so timely!
Lin Rui immediately sent over his location.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I'm heading in this direction now. If there's any situation, I will send you a message. Keep it down and don't let anyone notice.
If Fei Yunlai could trade as an assassin, his skills in stealth and evasion must be extremely sophisticated.
And as Lin Rui knew, the "Tengu" was not only adept in stealth but could also fly high into the sky and remain hidden, mysteriously appearing and disappearing.
Lin Rui then continued forward until he reached the inside of a mountain hollow 80 miles away, where he finally stopped.
Lin Rui had already seen Professor Han.
The man was still operating that mechanical power armor, using observation equipment to look behind Lin Rui and Ji Xueying.
He had received Lin Rui's notice, knowing that someone was following behind Lin Rui.
Professor Han had scanned a red dot situated fourteen miles away, remaining stationary there without intending to come closer.
He admired Lin Rui's sense of perception; despite the great distance, Lin Rui could still sense the person's presence.
Professor Han immediately threw a bag to Lin Rui.
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): This is the 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill' you wanted, plus two 'Cloud Palace Jade Medallions', including the one I have, as well as some other things related to Du Zunlong and Cloud Palace.
He didn't speak out loud but used quantum communication instead, to avoid leaving any trace in case the stalker had a way to monitor their conversation.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Cloud Palace Jade Medallion? Why are you giving me this? Professor, aren't you interested in Du Zunlong's Cloud Palace?
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): I'm very interested, but I know my limits. My disciples and I are not qualified to touch those abyssal treasures; we might die just by touching them.
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): Based on the examination of the dragon corpse left by Du Zunlong just now, it's likely he had entered the abyss. He wasn't defeated but was killed by someone, so these two 'Cloud Palace Jade Medallions' are too hot for us to handle. Just obtaining some parts of Du Zunlong's dragon relics and abyssal essence, we are already satisfied.
Lin Rui instantly understood, Professor Han wanted to pass the trouble to someone else, which was undoubtedly a wise choice.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Alright, I'll take care of these things.
Professor Han curiously wondered how Lin Rui would later explain and justify things to Meng Weiyun.
But his disciple was audacious and shrewd, and since the entire plan was his own making, there was probably no need to worry at that moment.
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): Besides that, there are various things from the 'storehouse', beyond the 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pills,' there are also six bottles of Seventh Realm spirit pills, preserved in the best pill bottles, with intact effects and incalculable value, and there are four Seventh Realm level Magic Artifacts, a King Grade Spirit Sword of the Eighth Realm, though it's unusable now and must be repaired by a weapon-refining expert.
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): There are also various other items, worth at least 200 million federal dollars in total. I've discussed it with Li Li and the others, and all of these items belong to you. I just don't know how you plan to handle them? Will you ship them back to the Ninth Base, or keep them on Tianji Star?
