"What deep schemes, what incredible patience..."
Blood-Devouring True Person's gaze turned sinister.
"Earlier, I couldn't understand why Master and Junior Brother Li Le couldn't even deal with someone at Qi Refining or the Dao Foundation initial stage."
"Now it seems we all underestimated you."
"You flatter me." Lin Ke's expression remained calm, but spirit power circulated within him as he stayed constantly on guard against a surprise attack from Blood-Devouring True Person.
From their time together, he knew Blood-Devouring True Person was utterly unhinged. Upon discovering he had been deceived for so long, he might well do something like that.
Yet the next moment, Blood-Devouring True Person dissolved into a mosquito swarm with a bang, racing into the distance and covering a hundred miles in a blink.
He fled?!
Lin Ke was stunned, but immediately realized it made sense.
Under the circumstances, True Person Yuan Yong was clearly bound to lose, and might even die.
According to the original plan, True Person Yuan Yong certainly would not have gone all out against the Snow-Ice Cicada.
But what happened in practice?
When an opportunity presented itself, many people would refuse to let it go.
That was the greed in human nature.
Lin Ke had seized precisely on that, which was why he had gone all out to tip the scales of battle toward their side.
Once the scales tipped, a whole crowd of Golden Core cultivators joined True Person Yuan Yong in besieging the Snow-Ice Cicada, and sure enough, the cicada could no longer hold them off.
Anyone with decisiveness would surely press their advantage at a time like that.
You had originally planned to buy a silver mine, merely pretending to negotiate for a gold mine.
Then you turned around and discovered the gold mine was only a hair's breadth
