Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Seeing these two figures, Gongsun Ge was overjoyed.

For two days, he had recounted everything to Shen Lin, from the history of the Hundred Refinements Valley to all the martial arts techniques he had mastered.

He had truly run out of things to say.

But the moment he stopped, the dazzling golden light in Shen Lin's hand would remind him.

If he had nothing left to offer, then he, being of no value, would surely be eliminated by Shen Lin.

Fortunately, he had finally endured until now.

Those two people were hall masters of the Hundred Refinements Valley, just like him.

Now that they had finally come looking for him, he could be considered rescued...

But before the joy on his face could dissipate,

a golden light flashed, and Gongsun Ge's soul vanished into the air.

Shen Lin watched this scene and took a deep breath.

He recalled Gongsun Ge's habits.

Then, he slowly turned around, frowning as he looked at the approaching duo.

"Why did it take so long?"

The two hall masters of the Hundred Refinements Valley, not seeing Gongsun Ge upon approaching, immediately became wary.

But before they could question Shen Lin, he preemptively spoke.

Looking at Shen Lin's clearly young face, which displayed a hint of world-weariness,

one of them seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, "Hall Master Gongsun?"

"Mn!"

Shen Lin nodded slightly, his expression haughty.

Seeing this, the two of them were immediately shocked.

Looking again at the charred body on the ground, which could barely be recognized as Gongsun Ge,

a guess immediately surfaced in their minds.

This Refining Hall master had encountered a difficult opponent.

Left with no choice, he had used the Hundred Refinements Valley's secret technique to seize the opponent's body.

They and Gongsun Ge were figures of the same level.

Naturally, they understood that this secret technique could not be used casually.

After all, since it wasn't one's original body, the soul and body would experience a strong rejection.

Due to this side effect, almost no one who had used the secret technique could live for more than ten years.

Gongsun Ge being forced to use this secret technique clearly meant he had encountered a life-or-death crisis.

Moreover, a martial artist's soul could only endure such torment once in their life.

Using the secret technique a second time would directly tear the soul apart and result in death.

Otherwise, how could so many martial artists with profound strength throughout the generations of the Hundred Refinements Valley have died due to their lifespan expiring?

Although they had considered this possibility,

the two of them looked at Shen Lin with suspicion in their eyes.

They still seemed to not quite believe Shen Lin.

Seeing this, Shen Lin directly said, "Hall Master Li, Hall Master Zhang, how is the soul force collection on your end?"

Previously, Gongsun Ge, in order to survive, had revealed almost everything he knew.

Over two days and two nights, he had finished recounting the history, techniques, and martial arts of the Hundred Refinements Valley.

Helpless, Gongsun Ge could only talk about the subsequent grand plan of the Hundred Refinements Valley.

Among them was today's operation.

He and the two hall masters were leaving the valley together.

On the surface, they were preparing for the apprentice recruitment ceremony half a month later.

But secretly, they were collecting human soul force.

Using strong emotions as a guide, they would loosen the souls of humans.

Finally, they would use a secret technique to extract them all and store them in a special container to forge special profound weapons.

Such actions were comparable to the Demonic Sect's actions seen in Shen Lin's previous life's novels.

If he hadn't encountered a life-or-death crisis, Gongsun Ge would never have said such a thing.

Therefore, Shen Lin believed that once this sentence was uttered, the other party should be able to confirm his identity.

However, to his surprise,

the two people opposite him exchanged glances, their eyes flickering, and did not answer.

Shen Lin frowned and sighed helplessly.

Then, he slowly raised his hands.

Those slightly transparent hands emitted a special fluctuation.

Probing Hand.

Now, that should be able to prove his identity, right?

As far as Shen Lin knew, even within the entire Hundred Refinements Valley, there were few who could use this Probing Hand.

With his Old Shen's talent, he had spent two thousand years of demon lifespan just to cultivate it to the entry level a moment ago.

One could imagine how difficult it was to cultivate.

Revealing this move should dispel the two people's concerns, right?

In the silence, the two people's gazes towards Shen Lin became somewhat strange.

They did not show more trust because he had used the Probing Hand.

Instead, there was some...

eagerness to try.

The next moment, one of them suddenly spoke.

"Bold madman, what are your intentions in impersonating my Refining Hall master?"

The other person understood immediately upon hearing this sentence.

"Hmph, the thief is quite daring, actually daring to kill a hall master of my Hundred Refinements Valley."

Now, Shen Lin understood immediately.

These two bastards had set their sights on the resources on Gongsun Ge's body.

They wanted to pretend to be ignorant and kill him.

According to Gongsun Ge's previous explanation,

although he looked old, his actual age was only over two hundred years old.

This was considered middle-aged among Aperture Opening Realm martial artists.

In addition, he had good talent, and his talent in refining weapons was even considered unparalleled, allowing him to refine the Hundred Refinements Valley's Refining Hall lineage's unique skill, the Probing Hand.

The valley attached great importance to him.

All kinds of resources were poured into him.

There was a vague idea of cultivating him into the next Great Elder.

At this moment, the two people were clearly not concerned about whether the person in front of them was Gongsun Ge or someone else.

They were preparing to directly attack and seize the resources on his body.

Understanding this, Shen Lin shrugged helplessly.

Oh well, anyway, he had already let that little guy report to the Town Demon Division.

This Hundred Refinements Valley originally didn't have many days left to be arrogant.

His previous disguise as Gongsun Ge was just to see if he could get some other benefits from the Hundred Refinements Valley.

Since there was no longer that possibility now,

then he would kill these two guys first and find a place to properly research how to make wings.

The atmosphere in the field began to become murderous, and a dense spiritual force fluctuation began to collide continuously.

It seemed that they would start fighting in the next moment.

But just then, Shen Lin suddenly frowned and looked sharply towards the horizon.

A good opportunity!

Hall Master Li's eyes moved, and he was just about to attack when he was suddenly stopped by Hall Master Zhang next to him.

He looked at the other party in confusion, just about to ask.

But he suddenly felt a dense fire spiritual energy gathering in the sky behind him.

Buzz!

A ball of fire suddenly bloomed in the sky, and an old woman with a cane walked out from within.

Her body exuded the spiritual force fluctuation of the Primordial Chaos Realm, and the cane in her hand was crimson, like a solid pillar of fire.

Upon seeing her, Shen Lin immediately found the corresponding existence in the Hundred Refinements Valley's information that Gongsun Ge had previously told him.

The Third Elder of the Hundred Refinements Valley.

"Elder Ye, why have you come?"

Hall Master Li hurriedly bowed.

At this moment, Shen Lin's gaze was focused on a figure floating behind her.

Wu Kaiyuan's life force was weak, and he hung his head with his eyes closed, seemingly not long for this world.
