Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 128: Zhang Jian Acting Suicidal (2/2)

facing this woman in white, whose cultivation level was unknown, lin jing had to be careful; otherwise, provoking her could lead to unpleasant consequences for him.

actually, it wasn’t entirely necessary for lin jing to be so cautious.

but with zhang jian acting foolishly, lin jing naturally had to be extremely careful to avoid getting implicated…

meanwhile, zhang jian helped himself to another cup of tea, savoring it with obvious pleasure.

he even took the initiative to invite the woman in white, saying,

“fairy…”

“this spiritual tea is quite rare and a true delicacy, you should try some.”

the woman in white remained unmoved by zhang jian’s invitation and spoke directly,

“now, can you talk?”

zhang jian nodded and said,

“of course…”

after finishing a sip of the spiritual tea and placing the cup down, zhang jian continued,

“i’m telling you, the black shark gang was destroyed because they provoked a formidable individual.”

“and that individual is from a top power in the demon monster inner sea.”

the woman in white didn’t speak, only giving lin jing a look. lin jing instantly understood and spoke,

“isn’t this what everyone has been talking about all along?”

“now everyone knows the black shark gang provoked a top power from the demon monster inner sea, is this news to you?”

zhang jian picked up the teapot, poured himself a full cup, and then said,

“not at all, not at all…”

having said that, zhang jian took the cup and savored the tea once more.

he behaved as though he was the only sober person in a world full of drunks…

seeing his ostentatious demeanor, lin jing just wanted to hold him down and give him a beating.

even the woman in white seemed somewhat displeased at this point.

so lin jing quickly spoke up,

“stop beating around the bush and get on with it…”

only then did zhang jian put down his teacup and opened his mouth to speak again,

“others only know it’s a top power from the demon monster inner sea, but they don’t know which one it is.”

“but i know which family did it.”

“which one?” asked lin jing.

zhang jian looked at the two of them, proudly stating,

“ice god palace, have you heard of it?”

“others might not even have heard of the ice god palace, but i know that it’s a top power just like seven seas hall and shocking seas alliance.”

“it just doesn’t show itself or let its disciples wander about very often. however, its strength should not be underestimated in the slightest.”

having said that, zhang jian once again turned to the woman in white and added,

“moreover, the ice god palace only recruits female disciples. it is a sect exclusively for female cultivators. it is said that the disciples of the ice god palace are all beauties capable of bringing kingdoms to their knees and shaming the moon and flowers, just like this fairy…”

lin jing curled his lips slightly before continuing to ask,

“how do you know it was someone from the ice god palace who did it?”

“because of this…” as he spoke, zhang jian took out a jade slip from his storage bag and added,

“i came across this jade slip by chance, and it contains information about the ice god palace.”

“and…”

“i also visited black shark island and judging by the traces left there, the spell used matches the spellwork of the ice god palace.”

zhang jian had not finished speaking when the woman in white no longer concealed herself and reached out her hand. the jade slip instantly appeared in her grasp.

zhang jian, seeing the jade slip falling into the hands of the woman in white, was momentarily stunned. it was only then that he felt something was amiss.

because.

when the woman in white made her move, he had no time to react before the jade slip was already in her hands.

as soon as the woman in white took the jade slip, she probed it with her divine sense.

in just a moment, she had thoroughly examined the entire jade slip.

“so that’s how it is…” the woman in white murmured to herself.

afterward, she stopped pretending.

she simply radiated her aura.

even without any movement, lin jing could feel the terrifying aura, making it difficult for him to breathe.

by this time, zhang jian was completely dumbfounded.

he couldn’t understand how the woman, who had appeared to be an early-stage golden core cultivator just a moment ago, could now exude such a fearsome presence.

at that moment, zhang jian, trembling all over, fell to his knees with a “thump.”

struggling to speak, he stuttered,

“imm… immortal…”

having just finished, zhang jian quickly realized his mistake and slapped himself across the mouth.

“no… it’s not…”

“se… senior…”

“i was rude just now, please forgive me, senior…”

however, the woman in white ignored zhang jian.

she simply took out a space ring and threw it to lin jing,

then said plainly,

“this was obtained from the hand of the black shark gang leader, and now it’s yours. consider it payment for taking care of bing yan.”

the space ring from the black shark gang leader was bound to contain plenty of good things.

and the woman in white just gave it away.

this left lin jing pleasantly stunned.

lin jing wanted to decline, but the woman in white said bluntly,

“such items might seem overly valuable to you, but to our ice god palace, they’re insignificant.”

“just keep it.”

after hearing this, lin jing also accepted the ring and said,

“thank you, senior…”

the woman in white didn’t respond but instead cast a cold glance at zhang jian.

at that moment, zhang jian was even more terrified…
