Monster Paradise

Chapter 1757: An Unexpected Raider

Lin Huang stayed for another two days in the sea.

This time, he did not clear out all of the monsters. He merely cleared out approximately 80% of the total monster population.

However, he did not leave behind any monsters that had mastered over 30,000 Dao seals.

Up until now, one-third of the 30-day exploration duration had passed.

After crossing the sea, Lin Huang arrived at a mountain range.

He came after discovering the auras of even more powerful powerhouses.

Through his ocular skills, he found many auras above 50,000 Dao seals in this mountain range.

As soon as he arrived at the mountain range, he went into hunting mode.

He did not summon his God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls since the monsters here had surpassed their combat abilities.

Instead, he disguised himself and began to hunt.

He disguised his God Weapon battle armor as a pure white robe.

Meanwhile, he wore a golden mask which was transformed from a God Soul Weapon.

The two precious treasures were enough to shield him from all probing techniques.

He even disguised his attack techniques.

He converted the form of his God Weapon flying daggers to sabers.

The new identity he gave himself was a white-robed saber cultivator.

For the next two days, Lin Huang wandered around the mountain range, looking for the explorers in the region while hunting local monsters.

He initially thought that it was an unrealistic plan to actively look for Raiders. It would be difficult for him to detect them if they hid their identities. Moreover, he did not really want to expose his true ability either.

However, he could no longer hold back after seeing the Raiders hunting the other members several times without bothering about their identities being exposed at all.

Since they had exposed themselves, he would not show mercy, killing them wherever he found them.

His plan was to travel through each region and kill as many as he could.

‘I don’t care what your plan is. As soon as you expose their identity, you’ve bought your ticket to hell.’

‘Each one I kill is a gain for me.’

‘For those who have great disguises that I can’t identify, you better lay low like a good boy and not create a commotion.’

‘I’ll investigate as much as I can with regards to the Raiders’ plan. However, I won’t force the issue.’

‘My top priority is to kill.’

Lin Huang chose the most overbearing way to handle things.

As he was actively looking for Raiders, within a day, he found one in the mountain range.

Even he had never expected this person to be a spy.

He was Infinite’s minor dao-level leader—Ao Yu!

Lin Huang had a distinct impression of Ao Yu.

As he was Infinite’s minor dao-level leader, Liu Fu had provided a detailed introduction of him before they entered the mystic territory.

Not only that, Lin Huang had sensed that Ao Yu had mastered way beyond 80,000 Dao seals that he revealed on the surface before they entered the mystic territory. Instead, he had mastered close to 100,000 Dao seals. He was on the cusp of major dao-level.

He was also the one with the most powerful combat ability among all minor dao-level powerhouses from the seven organizations.

He had even surpassed Royal’s Old Wang and the Snow Kingdom’s Shang Yang.

To be honest, if Lin Huang did not see Ao Yu killing Infinite’s own member with his own eyes, he would not have figured out that Infinite’s leader was a Raider.

It proved that Infinite had been infiltrated by the Raiders.

Deep in the dense forest in the mountain range, Ao Yu was cleaning up the remaining blood stains. As he was going to put the corpse away into his storage space, he suddenly sensed a figure appearing not far away from him.

He lifted his head and looked over immediately with his guard up. He saw a man in white robe and a golden mask on his face.

He sensed nothing at all after trying to probe him with Divine Telekinesis. He was fully alert now.

“I’ll give you a chance to explain. Why did you kill him?”

Ao Yu looked calm and responded anyway as he secretly prepared to attack, “We had some prior grudges and happened to run into each other. I wanted to ignore him initially, but he came after me and couldn’t stop criticizing me. He thought I wouldn’t dare to attack him seeing that we’re in the middle of the exploration, so he used terrible words. I killed him by accident out of rage.”

“Oh?” Lin Huang raised his brows beneath the mask. “You’re the No. 1 minor dao-level powerhouse in Infinite with the potential to elevate to major dao-level, Ao Yu. Instead of buttering you up, someone is so foolish as to make you an enemy? That aside, instead of avoiding you, he even came after you to criticize you after entering the mystic territory?”

“Should I call this person an idiot, or you who made up the story an idiot?”

In reality, Lin Huang saw everything that happened. The Infinite member who was killed had just killed a monster and was about to leave. Ao Yu showed himself when he noticed him and greeted him passionately before attacking the member out of the blue.

The deceased had never said anything terrible throughout the entire thing. He was even quite respectful toward Ao Yu.

Ao Yu frowned lightly as he realized that he had failed to fool Lin Huang.

He guessed that Lin Huang must have seen the whole thing unfold. However, he was still unwilling to tell the truth.

“I’m telling the truth. It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not.”

“I think something’s wrong with you as well. You’re wearing a mask to hide yourself. If you’ve got nothing to hide, take off your mask and talk to me,” Ao Yu retorted.

“Your capability to distort the truth is more powerful than your actual ability.” Lin Huang laughed.

“If nothing’s wrong with you, why are you wearing a mask instead of showing your true colors? If you don’t take off your mask, I can’t help but suspect that you’re a spy that another organization has planted in the Eastern Eight Zone,” Ao Yu continued to accuse Lin Huang.

He insisted that something was wrong with Lin Huang as he was actually worried that there were major dao-level powerhouses watching in secret.

“Why don’t you directly say that I’m a spy the Raiders have planted?” Lin Huang exposed his identity while smiling. “Are you worried that if someone found out, they would be alerted of the Raiders’ mission this time?”

What Lin Huang said almost made Ao Yu break his character. His pupils constricted, and he even fell into a daze momentarily, causing him to fail to retort directly.

Indeed, he did not expect Lin Huang to know about the Raiders’ plan. He was startled by that.

However, he responded immediately, “Do you think you can distract me and escape suspicion by spewing nonsense?”

Meanwhile, he was thinking to himself, ‘This guy must’ve found out something. He definitely can’t be allowed to live!’

“I have my suspicions now that the Dao seal you’re most proficient in is the mouth escape method.” Lin Huang was getting more impressed by his ability to distort the truth.

Though Ao Yu did not really understand what “mouth escape method” meant, he knew that Lin Huang was definitely mocking him.

“Alright, I don’t want to talk further with you. I’ll reach the same result by killing you and reading your memories.” Lin Huang did not bother to talk further with him seeing that he was going to speak even more nonsense.

The God Weapon flying daggers consolidated into a million golden saber gleams in front of him instantly.

As he did not want to expose his identity, not only did Lin Huang disguise himself as a saber cultivator, he even intentionally disguised the color of his Odyl and Divine Power.

“You’re a saber cultivator?!” Ao Yu looked serious now.
