The Jade Grade n.o.ble Realm was the top combat strength?

It was no wonder that when Liu Lanqing mentioned Elder Kong and said that he had comprehended the Wondrous True Force, she was certain that she was stronger than him.

This was because the Jade Grade n.o.ble Realm was already the ceiling of this world’s martial arts combat strength?

Then, with the enhancement of the Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame and the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder, he already had Jade Grade combat strength. Wasn’t he already the ceiling of the current combat strength?

This news was really far from what Lin Yan knew.

Because even with his current strength, he still felt that the entire world was unknown. There were too few things he could do and too many mysterious things.

For example, Xiaozhi turned into a jade statue, and there was a mysterious power hiding behind this underground world…

He could not do anything about these things, nor did he have the ability to investigate clearly!

What kind of top-notch combat strength was this?

However, Lin Yan also heard clearly that Ling Shuangxue’s focus was on the word “human”…

This made him s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably. Clearly, there were many existences in this world that exceeded humans.

After transmigrating from his previous life, he subconsciously thought that humans were the masters of this world and the strongest race in the world.

Obviously, that was not the case in this world.

Everyone retreated to the sh.o.r.e. Bai Ling frowned and asked, “With that gigantic Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach around, how can we gather more Unusual Items?”

Ling Shuangxue said indifferently, “We have too many people and are too big of a target. Next, All Qing and I will go together to collect Unusual Items. Our mobility will be stronger. You guys can stay on the sh.o.r.e and provide support at any time.”

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

Ling Shuangxue nodded at them and jumped up from the sh.o.r.e, jumping more than a hundred feet high. Then, she slapped down with a cold force, freezing a layer of ice on the lake under her feet and landing lightly on it.

Liu Lanqing also jumped up and gently landed on the ice.

Then, the two of them repeated the process. Like dragonflies skimming the water, they jumped out and quickly left in the lake.

Actually, even the n.o.ble Realms present could do such a long distance jump.

However, it was not easy to jump continuously without any intervals like the two of them.

“Forget it. In that case, let’s rest by the sh.o.r.e… or search the surroundings to see if there are any Mud Fruits left. We can also gather more Yellow Grade Unusual Items.”

Everyone nodded. They were all wearing Mud Fruit armor and were not afraid of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach. Therefore, if they were careful, they could completely explore this underground plain clearly.

Hence, three people were left here to wait for Liu Lanqing. The other two split into groups and scattered into the forest.

Lin Yan didn’t follow them. Instead, he stayed by the lake. He had already explored this forest clearly and there was nothing strange about it.

As for the Unusual Items of the Mud Fruits, he was no longer interested in them. He might as well sit down and rest before continuing to think about more applications of the Vermillion Bird Burning the Nine Heavens.

Not long after, Ling Shuangxue and Liu Lanqing returned with a sack. Their eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. Clearly, they had gained a lot.

After knowing that the others had gone to explore the surroundings, Liu Lanqing nodded. “Old Bai, send these Unusual Items back to the camp with Lin Yan first! When you reach the camp, stay there and guard these Unusual Items.

Let Lin Yan return.”

Bai Ling’s face was also filled with excitement as he agreed. Then, he led Lin Yan along the underground waterway and quickly returned to the camp.

The moment he stepped into the camp, Lin Yan suddenly paused.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m fine…”

Lin Yan shook his head, his eyes widening slightly.

He seemed to have felt that Xiaozhi’s jade statue in front of his chest suddenly vibrated slightly!

The vibration was minimal, so he could not tell if it was an illusion caused by his movements or if the jade statue was really trembling.

As he continued walking towards the camp for a while, the jade statue did not move.

“Perhaps I’m really too worried…”

They were almost done exploring the underground ruins, but he did not find any clues related to Xiaozhi, so he was naturally anxious.

When he stepped into the camp, perhaps because of the vibration of Xiaozhi’s jade statue, his mind became even more tense. He kept feeling that the camp today seemed to be much quieter.

The people around him were clearly doing the same thing, and there were many of them, but there seemed to be an awkward feeling.

Bai Ling didn’t notice anything. After returning to the camp, he carefully placed the bag of Unusual Items. “Alright, Lin Yan, 1’11 stay here to guard the items. Thank you for making another trip back.”

Lin Yan nodded.

He turned around and prepared to leave.

On the way, they met Jiao Liang and Tao Chen in a corner of a tent far away. They were talking to Yu Qian.

These three people were all geniuses who had come out of Ding’an City. It was not strange for them to occasionally team up.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and felt that it was strange for Xiaozhi’s jade statue to vibrate, so he walked over and asked, “What are you guys talking about?”

An awkward and unnatural look flashed across Jiao Liang and Tao Chen’s faces.

Yu Qian blurted out, “They said…”

Lin Yan was about to hear Yu Qian finish her sentence when he realized that an unnatural expression suddenly flashed across Yu Qian’s face!

As if she was stuck, she stopped on the spot!

It was only for less than a second. If one did not carefully identify it, they would definitely not notice anything wrong.

However, Lin Yan was focused and acutely captured the change in Yu Qian’s expression.

In the next moment, Lin Yan glanced over from the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat.

Jiao Liang and Tao Chen were staring at him!

They seemed to have widened their eyes into two searchlight cages as they kept sizing up Lin Yan.

“…They said that they wanted to invite me for a walk.”

Yu Qian’s expression quickly resumed. There was nothing abnormal about her expression. A trace of embarra.s.sment flashed across her face, and her face began to turn red. “Senior Brother Lin, do you want to go together?”

Lin Yan looked at Yu Qian with a deep gaze. “1 won’t go…”

He turned to look at Jiao Liang and Tao Chen, meeting their strange and straight eyes. “You… How long do you want to keep staring at me?”

“What?”

“Staring at what?”

“Lord Lin, we’re not looking at you!”

The expressions on their faces instantly changed to confusion and innocence.

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “Yu Qian, do you think they looked at me just now?”

Unexpectedly, Yu Qian also looked confused. She shook her head and said, “These two people were indeed disrespectful to Senior Brother Lin, but they really didn’t look at you just now!”

Lin Yan’s pupils constricted slightly. Could it be that he was hallucinating?

Of course not!

However, the expressions on Yu Qian and Jiao Liang’s faces did not seem to be fake.

Especially Yu Qian. She had no reason or need to lie to him about such things!

Lin Yan’s eyes flickered as he looked at the three of them deeply. “1 might have seen wrongly… 1 still have something on, I’ll take my leave first…”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

Seeing him walk away, Jiao Liang and Tao Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiao Liang’s gaze was fervent as he said eagerly to Yu Qian, “Yu Qian, 1 didn’t expect you to lie to Lord Lin. Hehe, looks like that Unusual Item is still attractive to you!”

Yu Qian’s face turned slightly cold. “Jiao Liang! Senior Brother Lin is busy with work. I’m just afraid that telling him about the Unusual Item will delay his work!

“On the other hand, since you said that there’s an Unusual Item, hurry up and bring me there!”

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go now!”

The three of them whispered a few more times and walked while talking. They were noisy as they walked towards the forest.

After they entered the forest for a long distance, Lin Yan slowly walked out from behind and followed them from afar.

He had left, but not too far.

Before leaving, he used the opportunity to approach the two of them and secretly placed a few clones on their shoes to monitor their every move.

Moreover, the Energy Flame used by the clone had also fused into the Vermillion Bird Burning the Nine Heavens. With the Radiant Flame, it could extend along the air and sense the air fluctuations in a certain range, but it was not as sharp and sensitive as the Energy Flame.

Combined with the perception of his clone, Lin Yan heard their whispers clearly.

Indeed, Yu Qian had lied to him.

However, contrary to Lin Yan’s expectations, Yu Qian’s intention of lying to him was probably to hide the content of their previous conversation. They had probably discovered an Unusual Item or something.

However, the three of them seemed to be unaware of the momentary pause in their expressions, as well as Jiao Liang and Tao Chen’s strange gazes. It was as if he was really hallucinating.

“Something’s wrong. Everything’s wrong…”

Yu Qian had said that she didn’t want to delay his matters, so she hid the existence of the Unusual Item.

Yu Qian said this very seriously, as if she really thought so.

However, after thinking about it, this reason did not make sense at all!

How precious were Unusual Items? How could Yu Qian not know which was more important when compared to his personal matters?

However, she said that very seriously and did not notice the distortion and strangeness of this reasoning…

This feeling was as if her cognition had deviated and distorted!

“I have a very bad feeling…”

Issuer Liu and the others were still collecting the White Jade Fire Lotuses. He was not in a hurry to go to the underground world.

Lin Yan didn’t say a word. He followed closely with the Radiant Fire, his perception, and his clones..
