The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

189. The Confrontation Between Two

The barrier on the surface of the Three Heavens Stone had been tampered with. Although the traces were slight, his cautious nature allowed him to notice.

This meant someone had been here while he was away, even contemplating tampering with the Three Heavens Stone.

But who could it be? Perhaps another sorcerer?

Cang Zhao immediately became wary, his spirit staff at the ready.

If it was indeed another sorcerer returning, a conflict might ensue. A fight on the altar could cause a sensation.

However, he figured the other party would also be wary of damaging the Three Heavens Stone and wouldn’t act rashly.

But where was the other party? Why was there no trace of their presence?

Cang Zhao was puzzled. He decided to use a spirit technique to investigate.

Raising his spirit staff slightly, a phantom eagle emerged within it. After soaring above the altar for a while, the eagle returned to the staff.

Upon seeing this phantom eagle, Lin Nuo felt an urge to launch a Sky-Piercing Charge and knock it down.

Lin Nuo recognized this type of phantom eagle; it was undoubtedly a spirit technique used for searching.

It must have been exposed; it can no longer be concealed.

It seems that the plan to hide and strike from the shadows has failed. It’s time to switch to a different battle strategy.

Wonder if I can bluff with the Five-Star Group’s badge, claiming to be an ally, so they won’t shoot.

After Cang Zhao’s phantom hawk returned, he had a rough idea that someone was hiding behind the statue in the back, but their presence was so faint that he couldn’t detect them through normal means.

Cang Zhao’s gaze fell upon the statue, and he said coldly:

“The person there, I’ve discovered you, come out.”

Lin Nuo listened, feeling as if he was surrounded by police with guns drawn, hearing them shout, “The people opposite, listen up, you are surrounded.”

Could it be that he really had to raise his hands and surrender?

That was out of the question.

Lin Nuo, draped in a light grey cloak, waved his sleeves and walked out from behind the mythical beast’s statue.

With a calm demeanor, fearless in the face of danger, even if someone pointed a gun at him, he must not lose his composure.

“Who goes there? Why do you rashly enter the sacred altar?”

Cang Zhao decided to probe the other party, not attacking immediately, as he was unclear about the newcomer’s background and strength. Caution was the better part of valor.

Lin Nuo replied earnestly, “Honorable sorcerer, I am a member of the righteous Five-Star Group. I was outside fighting against ferocious beasts, but the other sorcerers told me to take refuge here, so I did. As for the altar, I was curious to find it unattended, worried that a beast might attack, so I hid, hoping to lend a hand in fending off the beasts.”

The excuse was full of holes and a bit far-fetched, but Lin Nuo still wanted to stall for time, looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Nuo pulled out the Five-Star Group’s badge from his pocket, along with some soul shards that he also grabbed while reaching for the badge.

Cang Zhao noticed the soul shards that Lin Nuo had just taken out, and was even surprised.

These were soul shards that had been enchanted with a secret technique and should have exploded by now.

But they hadn’t. The soul shards in his hand did not detonate.

That was very strange.

Could it be that these soul shards were defective?

Unlikely, so many of them defective.

Wait, what’s this?

It seemed as if a secret spell had frozen these soul shards.

Could he also know secret techniques?

Cang Zhao took another look at the young man in the light grey cloak.

This person, could he also be a member of the sorcerer’s group?

Why hadn’t he received any news?

Hold on, could he be one of us? Perhaps he infiltrated the Five-Star Group first, then came over to coordinate with him at the opportune moment?

It was possible, but not entirely trustworthy.

Even so, there’s no need for this person; he can complete the task all by himself now. Why would he need any help?

Cang Zhao still kept a wary eye and said sternly:

“Now that I, a member of the Five Stars, have returned, you may leave.”

Hmm?

Lin Nuo listened, feeling that the other party had no intention of questioning him.

Just saying you’re from the Five Stars, passing by to covertly guard the altar, and you just believe it? Without any doubt?

It must be the effect of the Five Stars’ badge.

But this is good, it prevents being at a disadvantage.

From noble mtl dot come

Just leave directly?

That won’t do. Since I’ve come, I must overturn the big event. How can I just walk away?

Lin Nuo said, “Alright, Sorcerer Senior, then I shall take my leave first. By the way, I’ve gathered some soul shards from outside, which I don’t need for now. I’m not sure if they would be of any help to you?”

“Hmm? Soul shards, I happen to need them here, show them to me.”

Cang Zhao wanted to see if these soul shards had been enchanted with a secret spell that froze them, preventing them from exploding, and also to gauge the young man’s abilities.

Lin Nuo was also calculating in his mind. The other party might not understand this ancient secret technique, unaware of the hidden secrets within the soul shards. Now, by giving the soul shards to the sorcerer and then detonating them, he might be able to injure him and take the opportunity to launch the paralyzing soul needle.

Lin Nuo handed over most of the collected soul shards to the sorcerer, performed a slight bow, and retreated a distance.

“I hope they will be of help to you, Senior.”

Lin Nuo smiled, immediately activated the secret technique, thawing the soul shards. The piled-up soul shards sensed each other’s presence and were about to explode violently.

“Not good.”

Realizing the soul shards were about to explode, Cang Zhao also immediately used a secret technique to freeze them. He managed to freeze some, but the rest still exploded.

Boom! A loud noise erupted, followed by thick black smoke billowing out.

Lin Nuo had deliberately kept a distance, so as not to be caught in the blast.

Could it injure him?

Lin Nuo wasn’t sure, and in the next moment, a spirit wave shot out from the black smoke. Lin Nuo instinctively dodged.

Bang!

The spirit wave hit the silvery-white wall, blasting a large hole.

It seems it wasn’t successful.

The black smoke cleared quickly, and Lin Nuo saw the high-ranking sorcerer in the yellow robe.

“It seems they wanted you to take my life, but unfortunately, your strength is not enough.”

Cang Zhao sneered, having considered that those wizards might make a move against him. After all, cases of infighting for the sake of interest were not uncommon.

This youngster knows secret techniques, but compared to a high-ranking wizard, he still falls far short.

If one were adept at sorcery, then the rapid detonation of soul shards might have caused some harm. But this novice’s level was insufficient; his slow ignition allowed him to timely freeze a portion.

Lin Nuo couldn’t understand the gibberish he was spouting. Meanwhile, he conjured several illusions, circling around Cang Zhao, looking for an opportunity to shoot the paralyzing soul needle, striking Cang Zhao.

However, the sorcerer’s strength was formidable; as soon as the paralyzing soul needle penetrated his flesh, he expelled it with his internal force.

“He’s somewhat strong.”

Lin Nuo couldn’t help but remark on the sorcerer’s strength. If he consumed an Explosive Pill, he might not be able to defeat him.

Blasts continued to erupt from within the sanctuary. At this moment, Su Kexin and Ling Meng sensed the commotion and rushed in.

They discovered Lin Nuo engaged in combat with the sorcerer.
