Chapter 582: each with their own ulterior motives

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The flying ship flew at a low altitude for a hundred Li and encountered some walking corpses. However, they were either killed by Jiang Heng or sucked away by Layman Cloudy Brook.

"Stop for a moment."

Chen Chen suddenly spoke.

The others immediately perked up when they heard this. Chen Chen did not obtain anything along the way and just stood silently at the bow of the ship. If it were not for the fact that this person had paid a huge price, they would have suspected that this person was here to enjoy the scenery.

Now that he had stopped, could it be that he had sensed the existence of the object he was looking for?

Just as Jiang Heng and layman Yunjian were secretly looking forward to it, a figure leaped up from the ground below and darted onto the flying ship like lightning.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment before he cried out involuntarily, "Senior brother Shi!"

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Heng and layman Yunjian finally noticed that this person was dressed rather neatly and did not look much different from a normal cultivator. It was just that his eyes were listless and his interior was gray.., he was obviously a cultivator who hadn't been lost for long.

Combined with the way Lin Xiu addressed him, they didn't need to guess to know that this person was Lin Xiu's dao partner, Shi Wen.

However, the lost Shi Wen had no intention of recognizing his dao partner. As soon as he boarded the flying boat, he rushed toward Layman Yunjian, who was the closest to him.

Judging from the fluctuations on his body, Shi Wen was also a cultivator in the initial stage of the tribulation transcending stage.

However, his fighting strength would definitely be greatly reduced after he got lost, and he was probably no match for Lin Xiu in this situation.

Seeing Shi Wen rushing over, Layman Cloudy Brook's expression turned cold, and his first move was a vicious one.

He entered Falling Star Stream every year, so he naturally knew that a lost cultivator was basically powerless to turn the situation around. In addition, as a cultivator at the tribulation, he had no reason to give face to a unity cultivator like Lin Xiu, so when faced with an attack.., he retaliated without

hesitation.

"Capture him alive. It can be considered as an explanation to fellow Daoist Lin Xiu."

Chen Chen said softly from the side.

Upon hearing Chen Chen's words, Layman Cloudy Brook immediately withdrew his previous move and changed to suppressing Shi Wen. After a few moves, Shi Wen was confined to the same spot, unable to move.

Only then did Lin Xiu react. She hurriedly thanked Chen Chen Chen and rushed to Shi Wen's side. While checking the situation inside Shi Wen's body, she said anxiously, "Senior brother, wake up... It's me!"

Seeing that Shi Wen didn't have any reaction, she took out a few more god-subduing pills and gave them to Shi Wen to consume. However, it was all in vain.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Xiu, your dao partner is hopeless. See if his storage ring is still there. If you can inherit some cultivation resources, your trip won't be a loss."

Jiang Heng, who was beside her, said indifferently.

Lin Xiu turned a deaf ear to Shi Wen's comparison. She only shook Shi Wen with tears in her eyes, trying to wake up her dao partner.

At this moment, an inconspicuous stone fell from Shi Wen's arms. With a loud crash, it smashed onto the deck.

Seeing the stone, scholar Cloudy Brook's eyes suddenly lit up. He subconsciously wanted to pick up the stone, but Lin Xiu was even faster, picking it up first.

Looking at the stone in his hand, tears rolled down Lin Xiu's eyes as he muttered, "Senior brother, you found the Falling Star Stone... But why didn't you come back..."

Falling Star Stone.

Hearing this term, Chen Chen was a bit surprised. Before coming here, he had done some research on the falling star stream and found that the Falling Star Stone was one of the most precious treasures.

It was very likely that this thing was the core of that star and could repair a cultivator's damaged spiritual sense.

It was said that as long as there was a bit of true spirit left, the falling star stone could repair a cultivator's spiritual sense to its original state.

One could imagine the value of such a healing treasure. Under certain circumstances, it was even more precious than divine gold. Even a Mahayana cultivator would covet it.

'When such a treasure like the Falling Star Stone appeared, Chen Chen felt that the atmosphere on the flying boat had suddenly changed. There were some indescribable things in the eyes of scholar Yunjian and Jiang Heng.

Chen Chen felt that if he wasn't present, the two of them would have already started fighting over it.

"Put it away. Since your dao partner found it, it naturally belongs to you."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more uncomfortable, Chen Chen said.

Lin Xiu looked at Chen Chen gratefully, then put the falling star stone into her storage ring.

Chen Chen put his hand on Shi Wen's body and sensed the situation of this person. He quickly came to a conclusion.

"My Sea of consciousness is empty. My Soul is dead. There is no hope left."

Chen Chen sighed lightly and withdrew his hand.

If he was not strong enough, it was impossible to avoid a tragedy. If he did not want to become like Shi Wen in the future, he had to become stronger.

Thinking of this, he became even more determined to find the immortal's tomb.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, that falling star stone is priceless. If you take it and offer it to Senior Heavenly Devil City Lord, he will definitely be extremely happy!"

The voice transmission of scholar Yunjian rang in his mind. Chen Chen turned his head to look at him and replied, "Unless I really need it, I will not kill anyone to steal the treasure."

"Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed worthy of being a disciple of a large sect. Your character is noble and virtuous. I admire you."

A look of joy appeared on the face of scholar Yunjian.

This was a joy that came from the bottom of his heart. He was really afraid that Chen Chen would harbor evil intentions and kill someone to steal the treasure. At the same time, he would also silence him.

The reason why he said those words just now was because he hoped that if Chen Chen really wanted to kill him to steal the treasure, he would let him off the hook.

It would naturally be best if he didn't make a move now. As for Lin Xiu, when he brought her out of the falling star stream, he would think of a way to solve it.

The only problem was that Jiang Heng... If possible, he wanted to find a place to trap Jiang Heng.

To be honest, relying on bringing people into the falling star stream to earn spirit stones wasn't something that could be done for a long time. Even if it was him, it was inevitable that something would happen one day.

It was not easy for him to meet someone who was generous this time. After earning this sum and obtaining the falling star stone, he would be able to wash his hands of this business.

Chen Chen turned his head and continued to look ahead. How could he not know that because of a treasure, the two people behind him had already started to have ulterior motives?

However, at this moment, he did not have the time to think about this. Instead, he thought of something else.

According to the books he had read before coming here, the falling star stone was only found in the falling star stream.

'The Falling Star Stream referred to the real falling star stream, which was the giant crater created by the stars. It wasn't located in this vast region.

'The giant crater was naturally the most dangerous place in the entire falling star stream region, and it was also the place where Daolord three ultimate was most likely to bury the immortals.

From the looks of it, this place shouldn't be too far away from the giant crater.

During the rest of the journey, Layman Cloudy Brook actually began to compete with Jiang Heng for business.

Previously, he had only used that pocket-sized magic treasure to suck away the corpses of cultivators and the weaker walking corpses. Now that he saw a human-shaped shadow, his attack speed was even faster than Jiang Heng's.

He encountered seven or eight living walking corpses within a hundred Li, and most of them were snatched away by Layman Cloudy Brook.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng couldn't complain. He could only focus all his attention and try to find those walking corpses before the Cloudy Brook cultivators did.

Unknowingly, the flying boat flew another dozen Li.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in the fog not far away. Seeing this tall figure, Layman Cloudy Brook wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

However, Jiang Heng couldn't care so much. He didn't even have the time to glance at Layman Cloudy Brook before his entire body shot toward the figure out of reflex.

"Boom!"!

The moment he got close to the figure, the figure suddenly turned around, revealing a terrifying face full of white bones. Immediately after, a terrifying pressure comparable to that of a mahayana cultivator was emitted from its body.

Layman Cloudy Brook turned pale with fright when he saw this and cried out in alarm, "Such an existence can not be provoked! Retreat quickly!"
