Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Chapter 139 Qi Yuanshu and the Peculiar Cultivator (2/2)

qi yuanshu laughed and said:

“lin daoyou is being too modest…”

“seeing daoyou’s cultivation, i reckon it’s no less remarkable than that of your friend…”

having said that, qi yuanshu didn’t linger on that subject any longer but turned to ask lin jing:

“lin daoyou…”

“have you discovered anything?”

lin jing took out a black stone that resembled a black crystal and said:

“aside from these black stones, there’s been no other discovery…”

at this moment, qi yuanshu frowned and said:

“it’s unknown what cursed place this is, it seems to be saturated with fresh blood, everywhere is drenched in a blood-red hue.”

“even this entire space reeks with an extremely foul stench of blood, as though it were a battlefield where countless cultivators met their deaths…”

lin jing thought for a moment and then said:

“i tend to think that this place is a special space, and it’s very likely we’ve been teleported inside this special space.”

upon hearing this, qi yuanshu nodded seriously and said:

“lin daoyou’s words are quite reasonable, there’s a great possibility of that…”

after speaking, qi yuanshu looked up at the sky.

a moment later, qi yuanshu turned his head back to lin jing and asked once more:

“lin daoyou…”

“do you know those people with the surname bai?”

lin jing shook his head in response:

“i do not recognize those few people.”

qi yuanshu’s eyes flashed coldly as he declared:

“those people, once i get out, i’ll make sure they pay the price…”

lin jing looked at qi yuanshu, puzzled, and asked:

“qi daoyou, didn’t you say earlier that those with the surname bai might be backed by true immortal ling yi? could it be that qi daoyou isn’t afraid of that ling yi?”

qi yuanshu let out a cold laugh and responded:

“what about true immortal ling yi? how do you know that among those teleported here, there isn’t anyone with backing as well?”

“adding up the forces behind these people, not to mention ling yi, even the island master of yue tian island wouldn’t dare to take them lightly.”

upon hearing this, lin jing fell into deep thought.

a little while later, lin jing spoke up again and said:

“why would true immortal ling yi do such a thing? is he not afraid?”

after pondering for a moment, qi yuanshu then said:

“indeed…”

“doesn’t ling yi fear the retribution from the people supporting those here?”

“or is it that, he’s already prepared to flee?”

lin jing furrowed his brows, considered for a brief moment, and then said:

“it’s possible!”

“however…”

“i’m more inclined to believe that true immortal ling yi has a way to handle this matter…”

“or perhaps, he’s certain that none of us will make it out of here.”

after hearing this, qi yuanshu also knitted his brows tightly and said:

“if we all die here, there will be no evidence of his involvement left behind, and nobody could link this to him.”

lin jing said:

“that’s exactly it…”

“so, i think this place might not be as simple as it appears now; it’s very likely to be extremely dangerous.”

“qi daoyou, you must be careful.”

qi yuanshu nodded and replied:

“of course, lin daoyou, you can rest assured…”

……

having finished speaking, the two continued onward.

after flying for a distance, as they were passing by a mountain peak…

suddenly!

a person stood on the mountain peak, blocking their way.

this individual’s clothes were ragged, hair unkempt, and the person was gaunt as a bone, with bloodshot eyes to boot.

seeing this person’s condition, lin jing was quite astonished.

because this person was also a golden core cultivator.

now, however, he was in such a sorry state, it was hard to imagine what he had gone through here.

upon seeing lin jing and qi yuanshu, the man charged at them like a madman.

since this person nearly exhausted his spiritual power, he didn’t fly on his sword but just stood on the mountain below, with bloodshot eyes, yelling at the two:

“you two, hand over your storage bags, quick…”

“or else i’ll kill you…”

the person seemed insane.

lin jing and qi yuanshu both were in the ninth layer of golden core, while the man on the mountain peak was merely a fifth layer golden core cultivator.

additionally, his internal spiritual power was nearly depleted.

yet he had the audacity to think he could kill them.

it was somewhat laughable.

however, lin jing and qi yuanshu were not laughing.

instead, they exchanged a glance, implying that with the sudden emergence of a cultivator other than themselves, it was a good opportunity to inquire about this place – what it was and the dangers it held.

therefore, lin jing and qi yuanshu directly descended towards that mountain peak.

seeing their actions, the cultivator on the mountain below seemed to go even madder.

he even tapped into his scarce remaining spiritual power to control his flying sword, launching an attack on the two of them.

at the same time, with bloodshot eyes and a crazed expression, he spat:

“if you won’t surrender your storage bags, then die…”
