Chapter 510: Blending In

Under that Elder’s scolding, the others dared not speak out despite their anger, only giving Lin Xun a fierce glare before leaving.

“Alright, it’s fine. These humans just love making trouble, bullying the weak while fearing the strong.”

“But I must say, these human things are indeed quite interesting.”

“As long as you give them a little profit, they’ll flock to it, even betraying their friends or even their relatives and Dao Companions for it.”

“But then again, their utility value is quite good, and the cost is low.”

The Elder walked over and patted Lin Xun’s shoulder.

“You don’t need to take them too seriously.”

“But you also need to be a bit careful and not expose your identity.”

“We still have to remain undercover.”

“Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.”

“Mhm, okay, no problem. Thank you for your concern.”

Lin Xun bowed with cupped hands.

“Hahaha…”

The Elder patted Lin Xun’s shoulder.

“You’ve only been out for a few days, but I didn’t expect you to learn human etiquette so proficiently.”

“Not bad, not bad.”

“Hahaha, isn’t it just ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’?” Lin Xun smiled.

“Exactly, exactly. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That’s it.”

The Elder laughed heartily as he left.

Inside the room, Long Leier and Long Yaner glanced at each other, then looked at Lin Xun blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.

Lin Xun closed the door and deactivated the Magic Formation, and the two sisters, Long Leier and Long Yaner, reappeared.

“You guys can go now.” Lin Xun waved his hand.

“You… who exactly are you? What did you mean by those things you said earlier?”

Long Leier stepped forward and asked.

“I saved you and am now letting you leave; I didn’t bring you here to question me.” Lin Xun gave her a look.

“Get going quickly, don’t disrupt my plan.”

For Lin Xun, he had finally managed to infiltrate this group of Blood Demons; how could he let them ruin his business?

This would be just absurd.

Hearing the man’s dismissal, Long Leier felt a tightness in her chest.

But it was true that this man had saved her, yet she was asking about his secrets; it was indeed very inappropriate.

“Your Excellency’s life-saving grace, we sisters will surely keep it in our hearts!”

After saying that, Long Leier and Long Yaner curtsied to Lin Xun and then turned to leave.

After Long Leier and the other left, Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no one was bothering him anymore, and he didn’t have to take care of them. It was much easier no matter how he thought about it.

Lying back on the bed, Lin Xun began to think about the future—how he should act to avoid exposing his identity while maximizing the information he could obtain.

Finally, Lin Xun summarized three points for himself:

Talk less, do less, and watch more.

Anyway, the less he said and did, the lower the risk of exposure.

By watching more, he could gather more information.

Then, at the critical moment when he felt he understood everything roughly, he would deal them a fatal blow!

It was as simple as that!

Early the next morning, someone came looking for Lin Xun; the general gist was that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan was going to have another meeting.

I must say, Lin Xun loved meetings the most.

Because Lin Xun had blended in, they all treated him as one of their own and had no defenses at all.

The main content of this meeting was some details regarding the coordination with the Soul Faction of the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

After all, the Demon Shadow Sect was fooling the Soul Faction, saying something about sharing the “secret of advancing and becoming stronger,” but in reality, they wanted to enter that Forbidden Land and cause trouble.

These Blood Demons naturally couldn’t send only the Human Race Disciples from within the Sect.

After all, the Human Race Disciples knew nothing and truly thought it was a close cooperation between the two sides.

Therefore, the person going to coordinate definitely had to include a Blood Demon.

And Lin Xun was very honored to have his name submitted.

The recommender was still that Elder; this Blood Demon Elder was surnamed Zhang.

Elder Zhang stated that Lin Xun, as a “Blood Demon,” had adapted to local customs very quickly.

He was perfectly capable of taking on this important task of coordination.

Lin Xun was actually quite helpless.

He didn’t know how he had adapted so quickly either.

But coordinating with the Dragon Cry Holy Land was a good thing, so Lin Xun didn’t refuse.

After discussing this matter, these Blood Demons began to engage in enthusiastic small talk again.

The content of the chat was how high-spirited they were during the ancient times, when all races surrendered at their feet.

Then they talked about how miserable their lives were in that void.

Lin Xun blended in and said nothing, appearing like a serious listener.

It must be said that by listening to their chatter, Lin Xun learned a lot.

First of all, Blood Demons were a type of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan, and their boss was the Blood King!

Besides that, there were three other branches of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

According to their description, one branch was the Gargoyles.

Gargoyle was naturally a general term; this branch of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan consisted of various stone statues, and the leader of the Gargoyles was a giant bat.

For some reason, the more Lin Xun imagined it, the more he was reminded of Galio from the game he played in his previous life.

Another branch came from the Netherworld and consisted of Netherworld monsters.

Lin Xun guessed that the monsters he saw last time at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were from that Netherworld branch.

The last branch was giant creatures sealed in the ocean.

Although these giant creatures were relatively few in number, their physiques were extremely massive.

And their destructive power was extremely terrifying.

These Abyssal Giant Beasts were all sealed and suppressed by the Sea Race!

The Demon Shadow Sect planned to head into the deep sea after dealing with the matters of the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

Of course, Lin Xun wouldn’t let this happen.

But… Lin Xun suddenly felt, what if he could play the long game to catch the big fish?

Wait until their plans were basically all about to start.

Then he would pull in the line and wipe them all out in one go!

Of course, that was for later; anyway, he would deal with it when the time came, there was no rush now.

Back in his room, the Black Demon Sect’s plan began to set in motion.

The Cultivator responsible for coordinating with the Dragon Cry Holy Land alongside Lin Xun was a steady old Deacon with a low Realm but who was very good at reading people’s expressions.

Two days later, the Soul Faction and Technique Faction of the Dragon Cry Holy Land held a grand ceremony together to discuss the execution of Long Ming.

Many Sects came to the Dragon Cry Holy Land, with quite a few Cultivators.

Lin Xun blended in very easily.

According to the agreement reached beforehand, the Cultivators of the Soul Faction led Lin Xun’s group toward that Forbidden Land.

However, Lin Xun’s group was only brought to that place.

They didn’t go inside.

Because the Soul Faction only held half of the key, while the other half was in the hands of the Technique Faction.

“Alright, according to the agreement, you now know the location.”

“Let’s leave first.”

“Um, please wait a moment…” Lin Xun pulled him back, “Regarding the matter of the Dragon Cry Holy Lord’s execution…”
