Lin Che and Do Mu, Each Harboring Their Own Schemes

Lin Che did not deny it. With his cultivation back then, he truly had not been Do Mu's match, and he had only been able to leave this place by relying on a special restriction.

But if Do Mu had truly gotten serious, Lin Che's chances of surviving would have been nearly zero. He might not even have had time to react.

With one hand behind his back, Do Mu glanced at Lin Che and said indifferently, "There is no need to be nervous, little friend. Come with me to see my master. There are some things I wish to discuss with you."

Lin Che replied calmly, "You must be joking, Senior. If I follow you to see Demon God Tuo Sen, I fear I will not be leaving this place alive today."

Upon hearing those words, Do Mu frowned deeply. Naturally, he knew how furious Tuosen was with Lin Che. If he brought Lin Che into the Blood Sea, Tuosen would certainly refine him directly into a puppet for his own use.

If Lin Che were refined into a puppet, it would bring Do Mu nothing but harm. Moreover, he could use the boy's abilities to help break the seal, allowing him to leave this hellhole known as the Ancient God's Land.

At that thought, Do Mu narrowed his eyes. Then, with a wave of his right hand, he set down his own restriction barrier around the area.

"There is no need to be nervous, little friend. I merely do not wish for others to overhear our conversation. I will not harm you in the slightest."

Do Mu instantly moved behind Lin Che and said blandly, "I can help you leave this place, but you must agree to one condition."

"The condition you speak of, Senior, must be to break free from Demon God Tuo Sen's restraints and leave this Ancient God's Land, correct?"

Do Mu raised a brow at those words and instinctively looked at Lin Che before him. He had not expected this brat to know everything. No wonder he had dared to enter the Ancient God's Sea of Consciousness without fear. How interesting.

"You do have some courage, brat."

Do Mu smiled. "That's right. I do need your help to free myself from Tuosen's restraints. If Tuosen manages to break the seal, all of us will die here."

"That is precisely why I wish to form an alliance with you. As long as you can help us seal Tuosen again, I can give you a great number of magical treasures and Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Fine."

Lin Che agreed immediately.

His ready agreement made Do Mu furrow his brow at once. He clearly had not expected Lin Che to be so decisive. Did he truly have no conditions at all?

This was an exceedingly dangerous matter. One careless mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao. If there were no conditions whatsoever, it was clearly hard to believe.

Lin Che naturally understood the deceit and scheming of these old foxes. If he did not make some demand, Do Mu would never believe that he truly intended to help them.

"Senior, resealing Tuosen is not difficult, but it requires a special kind of energy to succeed. That energy can only be found in the Dead Sea, so I hope Senior will accompany me there to search for it."

Do Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this. He indeed had a way to seal Tuosen. The moment Tuosen entered the Dead Sea of the Sea of Consciousness, he could trigger the Ancient God's divine sense to backlash against Tuosen and severely injure him.

That was precisely why Do Mu was confident he could kill Tuosen here. Only then could he leave the Ancient God's Land alive.

Though he did not know what Lin Che was planning, with his own strength, if Lin Che showed the slightest trace of trickery, he could directly kill him here.

"Very well. I will accompany you there to search for a method to deal with Tuosen. But little friend, let me offer you a word of advice: do not try to be clever. Otherwise, you should understand what I will do."

Do Mu spoke threateningly.

"Rest assured, Senior. With your strength, killing me would be effortless. How could this junior fail to recognize what is good for him?"

Lin Che nodded with a smile, but he had already formed a plan to escape. As long as he could obtain the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories—

Once that happened, he could leave this place directly. Even if Do Mu realized what was happening, he would never be able to catch him.

Do Mu withdrew the barrier he had set up, grabbed Lin Che by the wrist, and sped toward the Ancient God's Dead Sea. To prevent Tuosen from discovering his whereabouts, he used special Immortal Power to condense his divine sense.

At the very least, it would ensure that Tuosen would not discover them for three years.

If they were truly discovered, he would likely die on the spot.

Lin Che kept his right hand behind his back, where the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda flickered in and out of sight within his palm. Once he found the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories, he would immediately use this Middle-Grade Immortal Treasure, the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, to restrain Do Mu.

With Do Mu's strength in the Shattered Nirvana Realm, he could certainly break free from the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda with ease. However, it would still buy Lin Che enough time to leave the Ancient God's Land.

In the original story, Wang Lin helped Tuosen break the seal, allowing him to enter the Dead Sea and find the place where the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories was stored—the very center of the Dead Sea's divine sense.

The passage to the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories required immense energy to open. However, with Do Mu's strength, he should be able to help Lin Che open its entrance.

With one hand behind his back, Do Mu glanced slightly to the side at Lin Che behind him and thought, This brat is talented, clever, and decisive in killing. I must remain on guard. If he dares toy with me without knowing his place, I will not mind extracting his soul and refining it until he dies.

After flying for an unknown length of time, Lin Che suddenly stopped.

"Little friend, what do you mean by this?"

Do Mu looked at the halted Lin Che, then lowered his voice and asked.

"Senior, if I am not mistaken, the Sacred Beast guarding this place should be one of your former companions, correct?"

At Lin Che's words, the expression of General Do Mu visibly changed. His right hand instinctively moved toward his Storage Bag, as though he were considering killing Lin Che on the spot.

Lin Che nodded. "There is no need to be nervous, Senior. I merely happened to hear of the Sacred Beast guarding this place from the Blood Sea General. Also, among the eleven of you back then, only one person left this place. He should be here, I presume."

Do Mu had not expected Lin Che to know about this matter. When Li Peng left back then, they had already known his identity and circumstances. That was precisely why they had not acted immediately.

Instead, they had waited for the right opportunity. Once Tuosen completely broke the seal, they would use Li Peng's abilities to kill him here.

Yet Lin Che had discovered it first. This was clearly beyond Do Mu's expectations. Moreover, this fellow even knew the area where the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories was located. It was simply unbelievable.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che said coldly, "Senior, I need the blood of the Sacred Beast of the Ancient God's Land in order to help you completely seal Tuosen."
