Chapter 1257 The Lackey

"Don't make a move, I'll... I'll notify the Cult Master immediately!"

Geng Ninghui was terrified, waving his hands at Lin Shuainan as he retreated repeatedly.

What a joke.

He was merely a cultivator at the half-step Golden Core stage, while Lin Shuainan's aura alone clearly indicated his cultivation!

This was a true Golden Core realm powerhouse!

The gap between them was immense.

Moreover, Lin Shuainan's mastery of certain techniques further widened the chasm in their combat power.

Geng Ninghui dared not engage Lin Shuainan at this moment!

Because Geng Ninghui knew he had no chance of winning and could be killed by Lin Shuainan at any moment!

Lin Shuainan frowned, his true essence having gathered within him. It would be quite frustrating if he couldn't unleash it.

"Stop the nonsense. What were you doing earlier? I'll kill you, and then let others notify your damn Cult Master. It's all the same!"

Lin Shuainan cursed and was about to attack again.

But before Lin Shuainan could press closer, Geng Ninghui raised his voice even louder!

"Ah! No, it's impossible... others can't contact the Cult Master at all. Our Cult Master is elusive, and ordinary people don't have the right to appear before him. Even I, the Vice Cult Master, only get to see the Cult Master occasionally!"

Hearing Geng Ninghui's words, Lin Shuainan hesitated completely.

He frowned and looked back at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's expression was calm, naturally understanding the meaning behind Lin Shuainan's gaze.

Lin Shuainan was undecided at this moment.

However, Ling Feng saw through Geng Ninghui's intentions at a glance.

Although Geng Ninghui's words were somewhat exaggerated, they weren't entirely false. It seemed the true leader of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult was quite cautious.

Such a personality likely contributed to the Ten Thousand Gu Cult's development in the shadows to this extent.

This made Ling Feng begin to suspect if the unrest in the current safe zones was being orchestrated by this Cult Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult.

Perhaps it was this Vice Cult Master, Geng Ninghui, or others deliberately causing trouble.

Otherwise, with their cautious nature, how could they be causing such a stir at this time?

Although Ling Feng was already contemplating these issues, he quickly responded to Lin Shuainan's questioning glance.

A slight nod was all it took.

Lin Shuainan immediately understood Ling Feng's intention and turned back to glare at Geng Ninghui with clear displeasure!

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. Fine, you notify your Cult Master and have him come over immediately. Half an hour... no, I'll wait ten minutes. If he doesn't arrive within ten minutes, you'll all die!"

Lin Shuainan's aura was truly imposing at this moment. It was evident that after spending a long time with Ling Feng, he had learned some of Ling Feng's cool mannerisms!

Of course, Lin Shuainan was merely imitating. Ling Feng wasn't acting cool; he always followed through with his words.

However, even just mimicking the outward appearance was enough to give Lin Shuainan a powerful aura of pressure.

Geng Ninghui's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lin Shuainan, exclaiming, "What? Ten minutes... this... isn't that too tight?"

"Tight? How about eight minutes?"

Lin Shuainan shrugged and grinned mischievously!

Geng Ninghui shivered all over and quickly waved his hands at Lin Shuainan, saying, "Ten minutes, just ten minutes, that's enough, that's enough! I'll notify the Cult Master right away!"

With that, Geng Ninghui quickly took out his phone and started dialing.

Seeing this, Lin Shuainan was stunned. "Elusive? What the heck, is this what you call elusive? Others can't contact him? Isn't this just a phone call away?"

Geng Ninghui shivered again and quickly shook his head at Lin Shuainan with a wry smile. "Heh, you wouldn't know, but others don't have the right to obtain the Cult Master's contact information... The call is connected!"

This explanation was only half-finished. Geng Ninghui didn't continue, quickly indicating that he could contact someone immediately and that it wasn't a good time to be interrupted.

It had to be said that this fellow's ability to become the Vice Cult Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult was not without merit; his reaction speed was quite remarkable.

At this point, his contact information had been exposed.

In fact, Ling Feng could have directly killed this Vice Cult Master, Geng Ninghui.

Once Geng Ninghui was killed, they could use his phone to contact others. Was there any need to keep Geng Ninghui alive?

Although Lin Shuainan had given him ten minutes earlier.

However, Geng Ninghui wouldn't be so naive, nor would he consider Lin Shuainan a man of his word. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't give Lin Shuainan an opportunity to act.

Lin Shuainan felt a bit frustrated. He had indeed been played by this guy!

But then, a voice emerged from the phone, completely diverting Lin Shuainan's attention.

"What is it?"

The voice that emerged was extremely indifferent, even carrying a hint of coldness, as if Geng Ninghui was not taken seriously at all, and perhaps even with a touch of impatience.

Lin Shuainan raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was amiss.

However, Ling Feng, being privy to the situation, nodded slightly. It seemed everything was proceeding as he had initially guessed.

The Ten Thousand Gu Cult might be more than what they had learned from these people.

"Cult Master, it's Geng Ninghui... I'm at the safe zone, and I've already sent you my location. People from the Wu Shen Temple are here, intending to destroy our Ten Thousand Gu Cult! Cult Master, the other party is extremely arrogant, saying that if you don't come within ten minutes, they will kill us all! I have elders and protectors here too. This is simply showing no respect for you!"

Geng Ninghui spoke, his voice tinged with shame and indignation, and finally, with a hint of tearful humiliation!

The other side fell silent.

Lin Shuainan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but curse, "What the heck, you sycophant, the moment you open your mouth..."

But before Lin Shuainan could finish.

The voice of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult Master emerged again, still indifferent, but carrying a chilling authority!

"I will arrive within ten minutes. Do not engage them directly!"

Beep, beep, beep...

The call was directly hung up by the person on the other end.

Geng Ninghui breathed a sigh of relief, but after putting away his phone, he saw Lin Shuainan's expression clearly and was startled.

Lin Shuainan's eyes were bloodshot and red, staring at Geng Ninghui as if he wanted to kill him.

This made Geng Ninghui's heart pound.

"You dog, you're really good with words!" Lin Shuainan sneered and closed in. Geng Ninghui's words and demeanor just now made Lin Shuainan feel like he had been tricked!
