"Of course, the only question now is whether he is in the Netherworld Blood River Sect. If he is not in the sect... that is the biggest variable."
Xiao Linlin remained silent.
Su Lin understood what she didn't say aloud.
This is a huge gamble!
Xiao Linlin isn't a brilliant strategist like Zhuge Liang; even in dire situations, she'll gamble with her luck.
If you bet right, you can turn things around!
If you make the wrong bet, you'll need more time to find out where the other person is. During this time gap, the other person could notice at any moment and then use their abilities to frame Su Lin again.
“He will be there; there must be a core area to house and concentrate resources.”
Su Lin said in a low voice, "Just like an emperor, he would never leave the capital easily. It is a symbol of status and represents a high concentration of power and resources."
"Um."
Xiao Linlin nodded, agreeing with Su Lin's analysis; she herself thought so too.
However, many unexpected variables in the world are beyond the control of the two of them.
They remained silent the entire way.
Eight and a half hours later, Su Lin led his team to the vicinity of the former site of Jiange, faster than expected.
He stood on the hillside, gazing at the city in the distance.
The city at the foot of Jiange Mountain remains unchanged, bustling and crowded, seemingly unchanged at first glance.
But if you look closely at the people entering and leaving the city, you'll see that most of the ordinary people, regardless of age or gender, have heavy faces and tragic expressions. Outside the city gates stand rows of evil sect guards with cold and gloomy eyes, scanning every wave of people entering the city.
A sense of oppression hung over the entire city. Even when people laughed and joked, they were all disciples dressed in the robes of various evil sects. They were transporting large quantities of supplies in and out of the city gates, and most of the supplies being transported were necessities for the evil sects.
"The city has been captured. Should we go around it or go in?"
Su Lin withdrew his gaze and turned it back to the distant peaks and mountains of Jian Ge.
The mountains are still the same mountains, and the forests are still as green as ever, but the people living on the mountains have long since changed.
"Go into town, no rush to go up the mountain."
Xiao Linlin shook her head and whispered, "We'll enter the city as evil sect cultivators and hide our followers nearby."
After speaking, Xiao Linlin directed the Mimic and Su Lin to use various technological tools in the warehouse, along with the Mimic's stealth magic, to hide the followers in a nearby dense forest cave.
Afterwards, they used props to change their appearance and Su Lin's appearance, presenting themselves as members of an evil sect.
As for the mimic, it doesn't need that; it can transform perfectly simply by glancing at the evil sect disciples near the city from afar.
Even after doing all this, Xiao Linlin did not enter the city openly. After making sure there were no survivors around, she continued to use magic to become invisible and followed the crowd into the city.
"Mimic, you are now free to act. Focus your search on important members of the evil sects, preferably those who can infiltrate the Netherworld Blood River Sect."
Xiao Linlin whispered, "This step is extremely crucial. We can't give you much help, and we can only give you three hours at most. You need to use your mimicry ability to fully infiltrate the enemy's core, gather more intelligence, and most importantly, locate that mysterious survivor."
"Whether we can turn this around or not depends entirely on you."
Xiao Linlin looked at the Mimic with nervousness. She was gambling heavily, but as an SS-level follower, the Mimic did have the right to bet against her.
Although the Mimic is an SS-rank follower, its mimicry ability is completely undetectable [real], allowing it to truly become the object of mimicry.
Even if the enemy notices, no matter what means they use to investigate the mimic, the answer will always be "real".
"good."
Without saying much, the mimic quickly left the group and chose a heretical sect's group by the roadside. His figure changed silently with each step, and he quickly blended in.
It was very clever; it did not transform into any of the individuals, but its form was roughly similar. Its facial expressions and physical demeanor changed rapidly with each step it took, making it one of the people in the group.
This involves the frequent use of partial mimicry features to ensure that everyone in this heretical group will recognize the mimic as one of their own when they see him.
Even though there was an extra person in the group, no one would notice anything unusual, at least not these lower-ranking and weaker evil sect disciples.
This has a distinctly Chinese horror feel to it.
Ten people went out, but when they returned, there was one more person, yet no one noticed anything unusual.
"A ghost entered the house."
Xiao Linlin stared in the direction the mimic had left, clenching her little fists tightly: "Brother, we can only wait for news. It has many ways to contact us."
"What we need to do now is to hide ourselves as much as possible, blend into the city, and try to find out as much information as possible."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if we can't find out. As long as the mimic succeeds, we can infiltrate the Netherworld Blood River Sect."
Xiao Linlin paused, then looked up at Su Lin: "If we get as close as possible, brother should be able to kill him, right?"
"Can."
Su Lin nodded calmly, but Xiao Linlin shook her head: "Brother, you should know that he is not only incredibly talented and cunning, but he has also monopolized the resources of an entire powerful world for many years... His strength may have already surpassed yours, after all, even Senior Li is no match for him."
A formidable enemy capable of suppressing Senior Li, Su Lin now faces alone.
Without a doubt, Su Lin wouldn't even dare to say he could beat Senior Li now, let alone an enemy who defeated Senior Li many years ago.
