Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

Chapter 338 - 278: Angering a Cultivator (Part 4)

Lin Lang listened to this and felt both annoyed and amused, speechlessly saying:

"Can you even imagine my strength? With your little ability, you dare to boast in front of me?"

The little sycophant beside him saw that the situation was not good and was afraid that offending the Golden Dragon Cave would bring disaster to the Special Agent Bureau, so he quickly stepped forward to plead:

"Lin Lang, how about letting them go! Don’t provoke them; if they come for revenge later, we can’t withstand it."

Even Zhuo Yong’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this!

Xina also took a step forward, about to speak but stopped.

But Lin Lang remained unmoved, his eyes turned cold as he said sternly:

"Humph, since they dared to attack me today, they must be prepared to pay the price."

With that said!

Ignoring the crowd’s obstruction, he directly acted, completely exterminating this cultivator!

The cultivator didn’t even have the time to scream before turning into a mist of blood, dissipating into the air.

Immediately, the scene fell into dead silence!

Everyone looked at Lin Lang, feeling a mix of emotions!

They admired Lin Lang’s decisiveness and strength, yet worried about the Golden Dragon Cave’s future retaliation, making the atmosphere exceptionally tense.

...

The group successfully completed the task and started returning to the Special Agent Bureau.

Along the way, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and the little sycophant seemed to have found an outlet, nagging incessantly by Lin Lang’s ear.

The little sycophant wore a worried yet slightly gloating expression, saying while walking:

"Lin Lang, don’t get too smug, you’ve really screwed it up this time, offending those cultivators, the Golden Dragon Cave behind them is not to be trifled with, it might bring disaster to our entire Special Agent Bureau. If everyone ends up in danger because of you, you’ll be the chief culprit."

Lin Lang, already irritated by his nagging along the way, couldn’t bear it anymore, stopping in his tracks, looking at the little sycophant with cold eyes, he said coldly:

"If you keep babbling, I’ll silence you first, so you’ll never speak again, believe me, you can give it a try."

The powerful aura emanating from Lin Lang frightened the little sycophant, turning his face pale, making him step back a few steps involuntarily, quickly covering his mouth, not daring to utter another word.

Yet, his eyes still showed dissatisfaction with Lin Lang and fear of possible future retaliation.

Xina watched this scene and shook her head helplessly, then turned to Lin Lang, eyes full of curiosity, asking:

"Lin Lang, what exactly are these cultivators? I’ve only heard scattered rumors before, always felt they seemed very mysterious, finally saw them today, still don’t quite understand."

Lin Lang slightly frowned, pondered for a moment, then said:

"Whatever, as I see it, as long as they’re not gods, there’s no need to worry too much. Even if they’re somewhat capable, doesn’t mean they can do anything to us, we’ll just deal with whatever comes our way."

Zhuo Yong, listening to their conversation, had a serious expression, walking while saying thoughtfully:

"Yeah, I used to think cultivators only existed in ancient legends or fictional stories, didn’t expect they actually exist. This discovery is significant, I need to quickly go back to tell my teacher, maybe he can analyze more useful information from this news, and prepare in advance in case the Golden Dragon Cave really causes trouble."

Everyone nodded at Zhuo Yong’s words, quickening their pace towards the Special Agent Bureau.

Yet, everyone’s hearts felt heavy, unaware of what awaits them next.

And though the little sycophant dared not make a sound anymore, he was still secretly mumbling something to himself!

...

While walking with the group towards the Special Agent Bureau, Lin Lang couldn’t help but feel a bit worried—

He knew well that the Golden Dragon Cave cultivators were vindictive, and having killed one of their people, they might likely target those close to him for revenge.

And Ouyang Yunzhi was currently outside collecting spiritual roots alone, if those guys targeted her, it would be dangerous.

Thinking of this, Lin Lang quickly focused, trying to sense her situation through the Divine Soul Mark he left on Ouyang Yunzhi.

However, what tightened his heart was that this time, the Divine Soul Mark seemed to have lost its effect, and he couldn’t sense Ouyang Yunzhi’s exact location or state.

Lin Lang frowned tightly!

But soon, he calmed down.

It’s highly likely that Ouyang Yunzhi found a safe and hidden place, and was currently in seclusion to refine the Water Spiritual Root.

After all, refining a spiritual root requires total concentration, during seclusion, perhaps due to special restrictions or other reasons, the Divine Soul Mark was temporarily affected, which is why he couldn’t sense her.

Thinking this, Lin Lang felt a bit relieved.

Ouyang Yunzhi should temporarily be safe.

...

As the group had just returned to the Special Agent Bureau, Lin Lang was contemplating Ouyang Yunzhi’s safety when Zou Limu sent someone to call him over.

Zou Limu looked at Lin Lang with a serious face, his gaze showing an inquiry, directly asking about the cultivator matter:

"Lin Xiaoyou, I heard from Zhuo Yong that you encountered cultivators outside, and even had a conflict, what’s going on? How did you end up offending them?"

Lin Lang, however, looked indifferent, shrugged, and said:
