Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 138 Unforeseen Changes, Conspiracy Unfolds_2 (2/2)

that meant, they would not be able to cultivate here.

quickly, another person let out a startled cry:

“something’s not right, there seems to be no spiritual energy here…”

upon hearing this cry, everyone immediately disregarded the first question and hastened to run their cultivation techniques, trying to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth.

however, just like that person had said, in this eerie space, there was no spiritual energy at all.

gradually, the group began to grow restless.

at this time, an elder in a green robe stood up and said:

“everyone, do not panic…”

“the most important thing right now is to find out where we are and how to get out.”

his words were immediately met with many people’s agreement:

“the fellow cultivator is right…”

“everyone, we have strength in numbers; whatever conspiracy they may have, we need not panic.”

“we need to first figure out what this place is and if there are any dangers.”

after these two reminders, the commotion among the people gradually subsided.

they also realized that on their side, there were no less than a hundred golden core cultivators, so no matter what the conspiracy was, there was no need to be afraid.

at that moment, the green-robed elder spoke again:

“fellow daoists, does anyone here know those with the surname bai, or know why they teleported us here?”

“or perhaps, what is their conspiracy?”

hearing this, the crowd began to exchange information with each other.

shortly after, someone replied:

“these few people appeared abruptly a few months ago. according to them, they come from the western outer sea and only recently arrived at the southern outer sea. no peculiarities about them had been found before…”

…

“the one surnamed bai proactively sought me out, proposing to hold this trade meeting, and he even showed me a few treasures that came from ancient ruins.”

“moreover, ling yi from yue tian island was with him, which is why i didn’t suspect anything…”

…

“the same here…”

“i also saw him with grandmaster ling yi, and thus didn’t have any suspicions…”

…

“and me, i saw grandmaster ling yi too…”

for a time, the crowd was abuzz with discussion…

after a while.

through their exchange of information, the crowd came to a conclusion.

these people were likely not cultivators from the western outer sea but instead from the southern outer sea itself.

moreover.

they were well-acquainted with grandmaster ling yi, and it was very possible that this entire affair was being maneuvered from behind the scenes by none other than grandmaster ling yi from yue tian island…

however, their exact motive was still unknown.

then quickly, someone proposed:

“fellow daoists, even if we want to confront the one surnamed bai, we still need to find a way out of here first…”

“i think we should separate temporarily to scout the area and find out what this place is, and then regroup to discuss an escape plan.”

as the person finished speaking, there were immediately those who agreed.

“i also think this is a good plan…”

“there’s no spiritual power here, it’s not suitable for us to stay for too long.”

their words prompted nods of agreement from the crowd.

thus, everyone began to discuss anew.

meanwhile, lin jing kept a certain distance from the group, not joining in their discussions.

apart from lin jing, there were several other cultivators who, like him, did not participate in the crowd’s debate.

nonetheless, these people did not leave.

leaving suddenly now would inevitably cast suspicion upon them, possibly associating them with grandmaster ling yi…

so, it was better to stay put for now and wait for the others to come to a decision.
