278: Chapter 274: The Red Tripod (Second Update!) 278: Chapter 274: The Red Tripod (Second Update!) “This ti, there were four people who ca to Bin City, planning to et with the people from the Black Spirit Platform’s Bin City branch!”
An Ruofeng was driving while explaining, “I had already grasped their whereabouts, but…
but I was too careless, startled them, and in the pursuit, I fired a shot and injured one of them.
Still, in the end, I couldn’t catch them!
I’ll take you to the scene to have a look!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian stroked his chin and nodded, “Since they ca to et up, they must have brought the artifacts with them!
Even if they were discovered, they wouldn’t leave easily.
After all the trouble they went through to get the items here, they won’t give up without trading with the people from the Black Spirit Platform.
So, they’re probably still in Bin City!”
“You big jerk, you do have so brains for solving cases huh!”
An Ruofeng said in disbelief.
Not long after.
An Ruofeng drove Lin Tian to an old street on Binjiang Road in Bin City’s Jiangnan District.
On the riverside green belt at the edge of the street, there was still a pool of fresh red blood that had not completely dried.
Lin Tian glanced at the bloodstain and then surveyed the area, looking toward the west, “They escaped in that direction, right?”
“How do you know?”
An Ruofeng’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Just a glance at the disordered bloodstains on the ground was enough for him to guess the direction the suspects had fled.
That was simply unbelievable!
“Get in the car, just drive towards the west!”
Lin Tian did not explain, he urged her to get moving and got back into the car.
While driving, An Ruofeng kept glancing at Lin Tian curiously, full of wonder.
Lin Tian paid no attention, as his vast Divine Sense spread out, covering several kiloters in radius.
“Stop the car!”
On their way to Binjiang Road, Lin Tian suddenly told An Ruofeng to stop.
His gaze fell to a dark corner on another quiet street not too far away.
“What’s up?”
An Ruofeng looked around and didn’t notice anything unusual, feeling astonished.
Lin Tian did not respond, his gaze fixed on that corner.
At that mont, Tang Qianqian’s little aunt Tang Xin was standing there with a dozen n in black, all with guns at their waists seemingly discussing sothing.
The car An Ruofeng was driving was a police car, and as soon as she stopped, Tang Xin imdiately beca alert.
Seeing the police car parked not too far away, she frowned and then waved her hand, leading her n to quickly retreat.
However.
Tang Xin and her group’s presence was completely unknown to An Ruofeng, who lacked Lin Tian’s Divine Sense to scout.
Who is she really?
Lin Tian’s brow furrowed lightly, in thought, and finally told An Ruofeng, “It’s nothing, keep driving.”
An Ruofeng was full of doubts but did not ask further, continuing to drive westward.
Heading west along the river, the area beca more desolate, part of the dilapidated old city district.
In the dead of night, there were very few people around.
Here, one could see many shuttered storefronts, a sign that the area used to buzz with activity.
“Stop the car, they are in that abandoned riverside restaurant over there!”
Lin Tian instructed An Ruofeng to stop the car, got out, and swept the surroundings with his Divine Sense to ensure there were no other dangers.
At the sa ti, An Ruofeng had already drawn her gun, and charged towards the dilapidated restaurant with urgency.
Lin Tian was exasperated, finding it hard to believe that this girl could be a police officer.
Such a ruckus was bound to alert others.
Sure enough.
Under the cover of Lin Tian’s Divine Sense, soone inside had already beco alert.
As An Ruofeng approached the entrance, a powerful kick lashed out towards her.
“Xuan-level Martial Artist!”
Lin Tian’s expression changed, he took a Shadow Step forward, instantly reaching the front.
He swung a palm out, repelling the attacker.
“Run!”
The person realized that Lin Tian was tough, and knew he was no match the mont they clashed.
He turned and ran into the food stall, broke a window, and fled, sprinting along the river bank.
The other three inside were obviously ordinary people, but all of them had guns in their hands.
However, it was a pity that An Ruofeng was still a well-trained elite.
He might have been rough around the edges, but his movents were sharp and ruthless.
He kicked their weapons away in a few moves, and quickly subdued them.
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense enveloped the food stall the whole ti, and upon seeing An Ruofeng had dealt with the three n, he used Shadow Step and pursued the Xuan-level martial artist.
The martial artist, thinking he was already safe after escaping a certain distance and about to catch his breath, was suddenly shocked to find Lin Tian not far behind him.
“He’s an expert!”
The man was terrified and ran for his life once again.
Unfortunately, his speed was as slow as a snail’s compared to Lin Tian.
Thump~~
Lin Tian kicked him and sent him flying like a trash bag, landing perfectly in a puddle by the river.
“Speak, who is the Black Spirit Platform’s contact responsible for eting you?
And where is the eting point?”
Lin Tian lifted him out of the puddle and asked directly.
The man before him was very dark and thin, like a monkey, but he was indeed a Xuan-level martial artist.
“I have no idea who the Black Spirit Platform’s contact is!
I’m just an independent martial practitioner.
I heard a treasure had fallen into the hands of a group of treasure stealers, so I sched my way in!
Just when the treasure was in my hands and I was about to take care of those three, you guys arrived!”
The skinny and dark man looked at Lin Tian nervously and said, “I can give you the treasure, please don’t kill !”
The man’s reply caught Lin Tian off guard.
“First, I need to see what the treasure is!”
Lin Tian’s expression was indifferent as he spoke coldly.
“Alright…
I’ll show you right now!
It’s really a great treasure!”
The skinny and dark man quickly untied a bulging black cloth bag from his waist and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Taiji Tripod that’s been making waves in the underground powers!”
The Taiji Tripod?
Lin Tian was surprised by this revelation.
The Taiji Tripod was a treasure that even the mbers of the Cultivation Sects were searching for everywhere, certainly not a common item!
Lin Tian took the cloth bag and pulled out a small, palm-sized crimson tripod from inside.
It was a round little tripod with three legs and two handles, crimson throughout, covered in strange patterns, exuding a sense of profound mystery.
Bang~
But what shocked Lin Tian was that the small crimson tripod in his palm suddenly exploded without warning, and then a bead, as red and dazzling as a cherry, instantly entered the center of his forehead.
“What is this!”
Lin Tian was startled and quickly used his inner sight to explore his own Sea of Consciousness.
He discovered that the crimson bead went straight for the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearl in his Sea of Consciousness.
Around the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearl were nine smaller beads of different colors, the illusions of the Nine-Colored Pearls.
The Nine-Colored Pearl Illusion had empty slots, clearly waiting to be filled.
And the crimson bead was heading towards one of the Nine-Colored Pearl Illusions, which was a crimson illusion.
The red bead slowly entered into it.
However, the bead encountered a faint resistance as it entered the empty slot and seed to be struggling to rge.
“Could this be part of the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearls?
That ans there might be other Taiji Tripods out there!”
Lin Tian was both shocked and elated.
After observing for a while, he noticed that the bead seed to be slowly rging with the illusory slot, possibly requiring a long ti, and that no other danger had arisen.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, “Indeed, it’s a great treasure!
I’ll study it slowly when I get back!”
Erging from his inner sight, Lin Tian’s gaze fell back on the skinny and dark man.
However, by now, the man was stunned, watching the little tripod explode and a red bead enter the body of the young man before him, who remained unhard.
“Is this…
is this the kind of Immortal Treasure or Divine Artifact described in ancient myths?”
Considering this possibility, the skinny and dark man regretted not keeping it, thinking that if he had discovered the function of this treasure, he could have been invincible in the world.
