776: C776 An Ulterior Motive

C776 An Ulterior Motive

2Green Snake immediately widened his eyes.

The three powerhouses actually followed behind Zhu Ziqiao like three Follower.

At this moment, Green Snake once again realized how powerful a true powerhouse was. Those three powerhouses had already retreated, but at this moment, it was like a Follower. There might be a reason why those three people were afraid of Lin Cheng. But... Zhu Ziqiao's own strength was also a form of deterrence to them.

Lin Cheng wasn't surprised by this. Not to mention that the three of them didn't seem to intend to resist, even if the three of them joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for Zhu Ziqiao.

It could be said that Lin Cheng believed that there weren't many who could defeat Zhu Ziqiao in the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou, or even in the entire Nine-prefecture Continent.

How could the strength of a Peak of Divine Ability Stage be underestimated?

Very quickly, the three of them followed Zhu Ziqiao here. These were three middle-aged Male Cultivator. Lin Cheng swept his eyes over them. He found that their clothes were not similar, but this did not mean that they did not belong to the same sect. At their level, they naturally didn't need to wear the same clothes as the disciples of the sect.

"Greetings, Fellow Taoist Lin."

The three of them came forward and cupped their fists at the same time in a very humble manner.

Lin Cheng looked at them and nodded slightly. He said, "The three Fellow Taoists are too polite. If you have offended me, please forgive me."

The three of them waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they didn't mind.

What a joke. The reason they appeared here was because they came to spy on Lin Cheng's breakthrough. Otherwise, how would Lin Cheng find them?

When an expert breaks through, casually prying is a type of provocation.

To any cultivator, the breakthrough was extremely crucial, but at the same time, it was also extremely dangerous.

At this time, if one wasn't careful, all their previous efforts might be in vain. If it was even more serious, they might even be beaten back to their original form, or even die.

Under such circumstances, they couldn't be easily disturbed. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, usually, when the vast majority of experts were about to break through or transcend the heavenly tribulation... They would either go into seclusion or find a quiet place to avoid being disturbed. The reason was to not be distracted and try to transcend the heavenly tribulation as much as possible.

However, now that Lin Cheng had transcended the wrath of heaven, the three of them were observing him closely. This could be seen as a provocation, or even a huge threat.

If Lin Cheng could free his hands, it wouldn't be unreasonable to kill them right away.

This was also the reason why when Zhu Ziqiao approached the three of them, they immediately retreated. They didn't show any malicious intent, but indicated that they didn't intend to disturb her.

"Fellow Taoist Lin, our previous actions were a little rash. Please forgive us."

The three of them cupped their fists. One of the thin middle-aged men, Male Cultivator, said, "We didn't know that it was Fellow Taoist Lin who initiated the heavenly tribulation here, but we could sense the frightening momentum of this place. We thought that it was the evil devil who caused this, so we came here to investigate."

As soon as his voice faded, a purple-robed Male Cultivator immediately said, "Who would have thought that when we arrived here, we would find out that there was something wrong with our plan. It's actually someone who is ferrying the divine retribution of a mighty figure. We knew that it wasn't that devil or its dog. Out of curiosity, we wanted to stay and observe it. "

The three of them said once again, "Please forgive us, Fellow Taoist Lin."

" How did you know it was me? " Lin Cheng waved his hand and asked.

He did not know these three people, nor had he seen them before.

"Fellow Taoist Lin's name has long been known by everyone in Dongzhou." The purple-robed Male Cultivator said, "Back then, Fellow Taoist Lin alone suppressed Ming Danjing and the other experts of the major sects, causing them to be unable to raise their heads. It has even spread throughout the entire Dongzhou."

When Lin Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at this person and said, "Does this mean that my name has already shaken the entire ___?"

The three of them were startled, as if they didn't expect Lin Cheng to be so unreserved. It was one thing for them to say that Lin Cheng's name had spread far and wide, but Lin Cheng himself had also said the same thing. This really made them a little speechless.

However, when the three of them saw Lin Cheng's expression, they suddenly realized that Lin Cheng's words seemed to have an ulterior motive.

"The three of you only know my name, and you are able to recognize me with a single glance?" Lin Cheng looked at them with a smile that was not a smile.

"This..."

The three of them couldn't help but feel slightly stifled, and their expressions became slightly awkward.

When Green Snake and Zhu Ziqiao heard this, they could not help but frown.

They naturally understood what Lin Cheng meant. Not to mention Lin Cheng's name shook the entire Dongzhou, even if it spread throughout the entire Nine-prefecture Continent, so what?

With just a name, these three people could recognize the one who was undergoing the heavenly tribulation with a single glance?

If that was the case, then these three were experts with great divine abilities!

"Fellow Taoist Lin, we have indeed seen your portrait!" Seeing Lin Cheng's indifferent expression, the purple-robed Male Cultivator finally said awkwardly. "Your battle with Ming Danjing and the others outside the secret realm was marked by someone. Many people have seen it, including the three of us..."

"Fellow Taoist Lin, please forgive us. We didn't mention this matter because we didn't want the Fellow Taoist to misunderstand us."

The thin Male Cultivator quickly said, "We are only here because of fate. We have no other purpose."

At this moment, even Green Snake understood that these three people were planning to get the Sovereign Artifact.

She glared at the three of them, making them feel even more awkward. Their expressions were very unnatural.

However, Lin Cheng did not have much anger in his heart. In fact, he was very clear that if these three people said that they were not tempted by the Sovereign Artifact at all, it would definitely be a lie. Even a fool would not believe it.

If his guess was correct, the three of them might have thought of something after finding out that he was the one who had transcended the heavenly tribulation.

If he could successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation, he would naturally be able to live in peace. The three of them would immediately give up on this idea, but if he failed to transcend the heavenly tribulation... Being heavily injured, or even falling within the heavenly tribulation, to them... This was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity.

However, even though he knew it in his heart, Lin Cheng didn't get angry, because he knew that this was human nature.

If he was the opposite party, he would probably do the same.

Although they weren't enemies, they didn't have any friendly relationship with each other. Naturally, they wouldn't worry about whether the other party could survive the heavenly tribulation, but rather whether he could obtain the Sovereign Artifact or not.

Moreover, since these three people could recognize him with a single glance, this was enough to prove that there was a problem. They might have tracked him before.

However, it was useless to say all of this now. Lin Cheng was already an almighty expert. Although these three were also powerful experts, they weren't much stronger than ants in front of Lin Cheng.

At this moment, no matter what thoughts these three had, they had to keep them. They had to be even more careful because they were worried that they would be discovered by him.
