Chapter 173: The Last 10% of Battery Life



Chapter 173: The Last 10% of Battery Life

Many people in Zhongzhou have wondered what the top person on the Qingyun Ranking is like, and there are many rumors circulating.

Everyone knows that this most gifted person is born with deficiencies and will not live long. She rarely shows up. Some people say that Lin Du is as beautiful as a god and not like a mortal. Some people say that she is frail and looks like the reincarnation of the God of Death. Some people say that Lin Du was born in the market and has no education and is a bad seed. Some people also say that she is extremely gifted and smart, almost like a demon.

Originally, when Meng Ling first met Lin Du today, he felt that the rumors were almost all true, except for one more thing: he was arrogant and unruly because of his talent.

Meng Ling is a new generation of well-known formation genius. When he walked into Lin Du's formation, he was still amazed at her meticulousness and versatility. But now the person in front of him had a proud look on his face, and spoke in a lazy and teasing tone. The words he said were so arrogant that they would probably cause dissatisfaction and criticism from many powerful people.

She seemed to be born with the power to overturn this dark world.

Lin Du had already turned around to draw the eye diagram of the formation with Jin Rui.

Time was tight and they did not have time to think carefully.

By the time I finished drawing, it was getting dark again.

The flags behind the names of the various sects in the sky were still changing. Except for the five flags of the Wushang Sect, the Guiyuan Sect's flag quietly changed to two after nightfall.

At nightfall, all the major sects feel threatened.

It happened that the disciples on duty at night were handing over their shifts. Two disciples from Jinhua Sect had just woken up and were about to go for a check. From a distance, they saw a bright light in the valley.

But the resident didn't seem to have any offensive capabilities. Instead, it looked like a faint will-o'-the-wisp, emitting a strange purple light, which was constantly changing and forming a strange shape.

The two disciples were terrified. "If this was a living person, why didn't they come and take down the flag when the formation was broken?"

"Could it be... some kind of alien beast?"

"There are strange beasts in our man-made secret realm?"

"Why do I seem to see a human face from a distance? It's snow-white. Could it be a ground-bound spirit?"

"Has anyone died in this secret realm before?"

"You know what, the Zhongzhou Competition represents more than just the honor of the sect. The ranking also means the proportion of newly discovered resources in Zhongzhou in the next hundred years. Maybe someone is really angry?"

"No matter what, we are monks. We don't care if he is a human or a ghost. We will just go up and kill him!"

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and the angrier they became, so they simply grabbed their weapons and rushed into the woods.

Once they entered, their spiritual sense could not detect any trace of whether it was a human or a ghost.

"Hey, did you see a light here just now?"

One of them probed forward with his spiritual consciousness, but found nothing. When he was about to withdraw his consciousness in confusion, he suddenly froze.

Not far behind him, the light reappeared, especially conspicuous in the darkness, like the lamp of hell.

The disciple was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he threw an explosive talisman there.

"Who is it? Who dares to act like a ghost here?"

Someone suddenly patted him lightly on the shoulder from behind. The disciple subconsciously wanted to slap out, but was blocked by a cold fan, followed by a smiling voice.

"Don't be nervous, fellow Taoist. We are not here to take your flag."

A pale face with a strange purple light appeared in front of the disciple, "We are just..."

“Ahhhhhh, Senior Sister! Ghost!!!”

Lin Du: ...I give in.

She turned to look at the two people over there, "I told you that you shouldn't put up the concealment charms, and now you're scared, how can you reason with me?"

Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared silently in the darkness of the valley. Meng Ling strongly condemned Lin Du's act of making the first move to accuse someone, "It was obviously you who scared them away!"

Jin Rui brushed off the dust and grass debris that were splashed on her body by the explosion. "We really won't fight. What if they don't listen to us?"

"What a coincidence! I don't know how to fight either." Lin Du looked at the two who had already run away to call for help, and heaved a long sigh, "Let's go and talk to someone."

The three of them arrived at the place where the crowd was gathered, and happened to hear the disciple telling the story of his encounter with a ghost in vivid detail. "When that hand was placed on my shoulder, I could feel the coldness through my clothes, colder than ice. That face was frighteningly pale, and the eyes were dark without any light. There were also ghost lights. The resentment could even condense into ghost lights. This must be a powerful ghost with a thousand years of practice..."

Lin Du: ...

She cleared her throat and said, "I don't know if it's a powerful ghost, but I'm Lindu, and I'm only twenty-two this year, so I don't have a thousand years of practice."

The five of them looked at the person who was speaking. The young man was holding the disciple token of the Supreme Sect, and there was a shadow under his feet. He was indeed a living person.

There were two people standing behind her.

"I am Meng Ling from the Lianheng faction."

"Jin Rui of the Lianheng faction, we came here this time because we suspect that there are anomalies in this secret realm, and there are unknown formations set up by evil spirits under the territories of each sect, so we came here to investigate and remind you, and we have no intention of competing with you for territory."

The five people saw the disciple tokens in the hands of the two people and believed it completely.

Lianheng faction, then there’s no problem.

"I wonder if the three of you have discovered anything?" an apparently calmer man asked.

"Yes." Lin Du said decisively, "So we came here to tell you that your clan also has people who practice formations, right? Come with us."

Among the five people, only one had some knowledge of formations, but he was not proficient in it. However, he still followed them to the valley to check vigilantly.

The three people were followed closely by five others. They detected the strange energy at the center of the formation and finished drawing the map.

A monk who had some experience in formations looked at it for a while and said with a serious expression, "What plans do you have?"

"Whether it is a test left to us by our predecessors or the evil spirits taking advantage of the situation, we must plan to break through and prevent it before it happens. Therefore, I have come to tell you that when the time comes, I also ask you to put aside your different camps and work together to break through."

Jin Rui bowed and saluted, his brows clear and his expression firm.

Several disciples from the Jinhua Sect also returned the greeting.

The three men came in the cover of night and left in the cover of night.

There was another battleground, and the three of them drove straight in, only to find that the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Lin Du glanced at the cowhide roll and said, "Sorry, I didn't expect you guys were fighting. How about you stop right where you are?"

Several people from Guiyuan Sect and Wuya Sect looked at each other, confused for a moment as they looked at the three people holding disciple tokens in one hand and compasses in the other.

The knife is at the person's neck, how can you pause?

But Lin Du didn't care. He pushed Jin Rui forward, repeated the same speech, kidnapped two formation masters from two sects, and left leisurely.

In just three days, several people from Lianheng faction and Lin Du visited all 25 camps and informed every sect they met about the incident.

"There's only one place left." Meng Ling's face showed endless fatigue. He glanced at Lin Du, who was still calm and composed. "Excuse me, are you tired?"

Logically speaking, Lin Du, who was born with a deficiency and looked like she was going to pass by at any time, should have collapsed from exhaustion by now, but she still looked the same as at the beginning.

You say she is not in good health, but she can last longer than anyone else. You say she is in good health...but it looks like she may pass away at any time.

Lin Du was holding a mint candy in his mouth, and his eyes turned a little pale. He smiled when he heard this.

Do you know what the last 10% of battery life means?

That's it.

"Come to think of it, many sects are missing one or two people, and those who failed to seize the battlefield on the road seem to have disappeared." Jin Rui said worriedly, "Could it be that the mastermind has already activated the large-scale formation but we don't know about it?"

Lin Du: ...

She cleared her throat and said, "I roughly know where they are. It's okay. They will soon reach our Supreme Sect's territory."

If nothing unexpected happens, they should all still be trapped inside.

She is the biggest culprit behind the missing population.
