Chapter 912 - 826: Absolutely Despicable
He exhaled a breath of impure air, restrained the life aura on his body, and quietly snuck toward the place where the explosion occurred ahead.Soon, he saw three figures up ahead.
His eyes flickered momentarily as he quietly approached.
His Divine Sense extended outward, detecting that the three figures bore no injuries.
As he got closer, he heard the three people conversing in front of him.
"Great, the self-destruction of that Earth Demon King just got each of us a hundred points. Now, my points are three hundred and fifty-seven! How about yours?"
"My points are three hundred and twenty-seven!"
"My points are three hundred and thirty-two!"
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow, realizing that the woman speaking now was the same one who had previously called out to him.
"The Earth Demon King's self-destruction got them each a hundred points. Could it be that they did all this just to brush points?"
In his previous life, he had seen some Immortal Sect Disciples, in their quest to kill more Earth Demons, even sending disciples with much lower cultivation than theirs to the front lines as cannon fodder to draw the Earth Demons closer.
How deceitful people's hearts are!
A cold glint flashed in Duan Gujin's eyes as he guessed that those three Martial Saints had deliberately gathered so many Martial Saints to brush points for themselves.
"Absolutely despicable!"
He extended his Divine Sense, probing his surroundings.
After a while, his Divine Sense discovered several corpses lying on the ground ahead, blown to pieces.
In contrast, the three in front bore no injuries, making Duan Gujin realize that those three had surely led the seven Martial Saints to the Earth Demon King to make it self-destruct, resulting in mutual destruction.
The Recording Name Plate can sense the strength of enemies ahead and make an assessment for those three.
Being non-human, the Recording Name Plate can only adjust based on changes on the battlefield.
Based on the strength of the Earth Demon King they challenged before, the Recording Name Plate awarded each of them a hundred points, which seemed reasonable.
Evidently, those seven were framed by those three Martial Saints!
"Someone's nearby!"
Suddenly, one of the three Martial Saints exclaimed loudly.
The other two heard the exclamation and became on guard, extending their Divine Sense to search diligently.
After a while, they discovered Duan Gujin's lurking position; their bodies flashed, transforming into beams of light, rushing rapidly toward Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, stepping nine steps to the left, using the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps for a rapid escape.
The three Martial Saints, seeing the person lurking in the dark wearing the same clothes as them, assumed the person was also a participant in this Demon Extermination mission.
"Catch up to that person quickly!"
All three were filled with fear, knowing their deeds would lead to expulsion if exposed.
Their sole thought was to kill the eavesdropper at all costs, fearing the person would report the incident to the Divine World.
However, Duan Gujin continuously used the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, swiftly leaving those three Martial Saints far behind.
As the three sensed the continuous spatial fluctuations ahead, they realized the opponent was using Space Escape Technique.
Although their cultivation was much higher than Duan Gujin's, they lacked proficiency in Space Escape Technique, and their Spiritual Power was weaker, unable to track Duan Gujin's escape locations after using the Space Escape Technique.
"What do we do now?"
The three Martial Saints were in a state of panic, like ants on a hot pan.
Before, they had extended their Divine Sense, confirming no creatures were lurking around before speaking.
The battle with the Earth Demon King earlier had nearly ended in tragedy for them too, almost caught in the self-destruct wave.
They narrowly escaped death, convinced no one was around as they recalled the peril of the fight.
Yet, they never imagined someone had been lurking and eavesdropped on their conversation.
They had previously tricked those seven Martial Saints into challenging the Earth Demon King, provoking it into self-destruction for points.
"That person must die!"
The Female Martial Saint's eyes flashed with a chilling light, yet they had lost their target, not knowing who had eavesdropped on them.
"I think it was the person we encountered on the road earlier!"
One Martial Saint said.
"Seems like it. But don't worry, our clothes were specially provided by the Divine World, and even if he knows we were responsible for those seven deaths, he has no proof!"
"Right!"
The three Martial Saints discussed and decided on a defensive story.
Additionally, they decided to use a secret family technique to alter memories of past events.
Unless the person attempting to read their memories had a much higher power level, Shattering Void Realm martial artists couldn't read their memories.
Even if read, it would only reveal altered memories.
But if the Divine World's experts took action, their previous deeds would be completely exposed!
The trio made their response strategy, praying that Duan Gujin had no evidence connecting them to the seven deaths.
Nervously, the three had to continue with the demon-extermination mission.
After deploying the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps ten times, Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, assessing the surroundings.
Ensuring the three Martial Saints hadn't caught up, he took the last Spiritual Medicine given by the Divine World visitor.
Upon taking it, he restored some Primordial Power and Spiritual Power.
"Should I report this incident to the Divine World visitor?"
Duan Gujin furrowed his brow deeply, pondered for a while, and ultimately decided against it.
Not out of lack of integrity, but fearing unforeseen consequences if the Divine World visitor forcibly read his memory.
"If I find those three Martial Saints, I'll deal with them myself!"
After deliberation, he decided to continue hunting Earth Demons in the Black Hole World.
Time ticked by, and soon, Duan Gujin noticed a countdown appearing on the Recording Name Plate, indicating it was time to use the Teleportation Plate to exit.
He activated the Teleportation Plate immediately; the transmission energy enveloped him and transported him out.
After the surrounding transmission energy dissipated, he opened his eyes, scanning the area.
He found himself transported to the outer edge of the Black Hole World, with many fellow Martial Saints who also participated in this demon-slaughtering mission nearby.
