Chapter 2962: Eavesdropping
-Taming Stele." Ziqing's face was adorned with a smile that seemed to suggest complete composure.“Well then, let's go back and investigate first. We can have the Zhao clan mobilize their forces on th...The man in white stopped the short, stout man's rambling, "Brother Hu, don't say these useless things. Even if we can't be friends, there's no need to become enemies."
"What about the lingering Immortal Herb We've spent decades searching for it, and now we've almost lost Old Lin. We haven't even gotten our hands on it yet! If we miss this opportunity, it will take at least another few decades to find it again." said the short man, Hu Chaosheng.

"If we don't have enough manpower, it's best to wait a while. There are quite a few Green Hiders in the Yingxi Swamp right now. They live in the trees and are very hard to guard against. Although my Mu Xin Dharma Robe can detect the exact location of the Ying Xianzhi, if I'm not careful, I could still be ambushed by the Green Hiders. If it weren't for you guys arriving in time after receiving my distress signal, I wouldn't even have time to collect my body. And from what I feel, those Green Hiders aren't completely focused on me. They seem to be wary of some other powerful presence, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted until you arrived."
A lean man, all skin and bone, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Then wouldn't all our decades of hard work be for nothing" the short, sturdy man, Hu Zhaosheng, said with some difficulty accepting it.
“No one wants their efforts to be in vain. Since there is no opportunity at the moment, we can figure out a way later. How many people have lost their lives because of greed We haven't suffered any losses yet, so what is there to complain about” said a plump and beautiful woman on the left side of the sisters.
“If you don't try, how will you know the result Maybe the Green Hidden Lizards aren't as many as Old Forest imagined.” Hu Zhaosheng still said unwillingly.

"Since we're already here, I think it's worth giving it a try. It's just that arranging things with Lao Lin isn't easy." The other twin sister shared a similar thought with Hu Chaosheng.
The man in white looked embarrassed.
“If you want to go, I won't stop you. Just be extremely careful. As for me, I can return on my own now.” Lin Wei coughed up a mouthful of blood and shook his head, seeing that the man in white was probably unwilling to waste his previous efforts, but because it was inconvenient for him to handle this side, he was caught between two difficult choices.”
"Alright then, Lao Lin, you be careful yourself. Once we've retrieved the Lingxian Herb, there will be a share of the benefits for you too." The man in white replied with a nod.
“Lingxianzhi” Lu Xia Tian naturally hadn't left too far, descending to this ground. Not wanting to be used as a weapon by the other party, Lu Xia Tian refused the plan to travel with them. Lu Xia Tian was unfamiliar with the place and had just happened upon these few immortals, so of course he wanted to hear some valuable information. It was fine if it was just casual fairy treasures, but the main thing was his need to understand his surroundings.
>It's just that these few people have been going back and forth for a long time, and Lu Xiaotian hasn't heard anything useful. Lu Xiaotian, who was hiding his tracks, couldn't help but shake his head. It seems like it was all in vain.
The four men in white shirts went to the so-called Yingxi Swamp one after another. Lu Xiaoteng was also about to leave, but he saw a cold light flash in the eyes of the originally thin and weak man who had been soaked all over and looked weak in breath. After the four men in white shirts left, the originally hunched body due to injuries began to straighten gradually.
This lean man, Lin Wei, watched the white-clad men leave with a sneer on his face.
A slender black figure flickered in the distance. It was a beautiful young woman, small and delicate in stature, barely reaching the shoulders of the lean man, Lin Wei.
"Brother Lin is indeed a brilliant strategist. With so much at stake, Zhao Shiqi and his men couldn't help but risk it all." The giggling woman's laughter was like the tinkling of a bell.
"That Zhao Shiqi thinks he's so clever and righteous, pretending to care about my injuries. In the end, he ran off after being lured by profit. Well, that's good riddance. I won't feel guilty about using him. You all have to be careful. Even with bait, those Green-Hidden Lizards are extraordinary; they're not easy to handle. Zhao Shiqi might be a hypocrite, but he does have some skills. His strength isn't as simple as it seems. Don't let things backfire on you."
Lin Wei's face first showed a calculating smile as he saw Zhao Shiqi and the others feeling rather smug. Then, his expression turned cautious.
“Don't worry, we're all very careful. Zhao Shiqi is skilled, but he's nowhere near as powerful as Brother Lin. After falling into your trap this time, it'll be hard for him to turn things around.” The petite woman flattered.
"Be careful, don't make any mistakes. That kid Chang is not very reliable when handling things. You should keep a close eye on him." Lin Wei turned his body to face the petite woman and said.
The petite woman nodded in agreement and left.
Lu Xiaoxian was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected such a change now. It seemed that the fairy world was similar to where he had once mingled, just that the fairies or demon immortals in the fairy world were stronger. Even these fairies, nourished by fairy spirit energy, had a higher starting point and it was relatively easier for them to cultivate to their current realm. If you really talked about state of mind, most of them were still inferior to cultivators of the same rank in the Spirit Realm.

Having put away his feelings, Lu Xia Tian felt he'd watched enough. He quietly slipped away, but after walking for a short while, he suddenly noticed the petite woman who should have been under Lin Wei's command, carrying out other tasks, appearing in front of him. She was carefully approaching him.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A flash of strange color appeared in Lu Xiaotien's eyes, and he deliberately turned his head back to the original spot. At this time, Lu Xiaotien discovered that besides this petite woman, there was another person cautiously approaching.
While Lin Wei remained unperturbed in his original position, patiently waiting until he stopped. Only then did Lin Wei's sharp gaze sweep across the area, landing on his own location. Lu Xiaotien finally realized he had underestimated Lin Wei. The other party not only discovered his whereabouts but also set a trap with ease. At this moment, Lu Xiaotien came to understand his own misconception.
Although cultivators in the Immortal Realm grow more smoothly than those in lower realms, it doesn't mean there aren't outstanding or deeply cunning individuals among them. Moreover, the methods of Immortal Realm cultivators are far more diverse than he had imagined. He didn't even realize when the other party became aware of his presence.
"It's you" Lin Wei was also surprised when he saw Lu Xiaottian. Then, there was a hint of mockery on his face, "You had a chance to leave before, but you hid aside and eavesdropped on a lot. You should know the saying 'curiosity killed the cat,' right"
As Lin Weizheng was speaking, the petite woman who had left earlier, along with another elderly man with white hair and a black phoenix-headed cane, flanked him from behind. They trapped Lu Xiaitian in a triangular area between them.i Youlian, such a heaven-defying object. I presume the consumption has also been considerable." The Nine-Eyed Demon Owl chuckled sinisterly, black energy churning in its voice. It formed a crystal obs...
