chapter 402: chapter 102 soul search
as they neared black xing island, the number of people increased, especially near the island itself. the cultivators were coming and going in an endless stream.
lin jing controlled his sword, skimming rapidly over the sea, and was about to arrive at black xing island…
but at that moment, lin jing suddenly came to a halt, his eyes flashing with a trace of cold light.
because.
within the range of his divine sense, he had detected two people.
two people lin jing had been longing to find…
these two were the very middle-aged cultivators lin jing had learned had kidnapped lin jue.
right after, lin jing’s thoughts moved, and he controlled his sword, flying straight towards the two cultivators.
……
at this time, on a piece of sea not far from black xing island, two middle-aged cultivators were flying on their swords while conversing.
one of them spoke to the other, saying:
“brother li…”
“do you think, after we sold lin jue, that golden core cultivator who came to bihai city last time will come back to trouble us?”
the cultivator surnamed li looked disdainful as he replied:
“do you really think he will come back?”
“haven’t you considered how many years have passed?”
“has he shown up even once?”
“perhaps he has long since met his demise in some perilous secret realm.”
“rest assured, he definitely won’t come back.”
“but i still feel uneasy…” the first cultivator to speak said, his face laden with worry.
the cultivator surnamed li tried to comfort him:
“you, you think too much…”
“even if he isn’t dead, so what?”
“the fact that he was willing to help lin jue back then must be because he coveted the yellow dragon spirit grass that boy possessed.”
“now that he’s got the yellow dragon spirit grass, how could he possibly still care about a little brat like lin jue…”
yet, the first to speak still frowned deeply.
the cultivator surnamed li could only shake his head helplessly, saying:
“you really…”
“just scare yourself over nothing.”
“what’s there to fear? don’t forget, we are now working for the black shark gang. if he dares to attack us, that would mean going against the black shark gang…”
“you’re just too sensitive…”
“maybe…” the other replied, his brow still furrowed.
actually, the reason he asked was that, starting from a short while ago, he had been restless, feeling as if some life-threatening crisis was about to occur.
but recalling how both he and brother li had joined the black shark gang and were now peripheral members, he felt somewhat relieved.
after all, the black shark gang was no ordinary force; within the whole maritime region, they were extremely notorious.
even if the other person was a golden core cultivator, he too would have to bow down in the face of the black shark gang.
thus, he comforted himself inwardly and then continued flying towards bihai city with brother li…
……
however, they had not flown far when an overwhelming divine sense pressure suddenly enveloped them.
the two exchanged glances, sensing something was amiss…
in each other’s eyes, they saw fear and panic.
the two did not understand which senior they had inadvertently provoked, as the pressure of this divine sense was bearing down on them even though the person hadn’t even arrived yet.
clearly, this ‘senior’ was specifically targeting them.
before they could think any further, a figure swiftly appeared before them.
the arrival of this figure brought an even more intense pressure, and the two were so overpowered they couldn’t even lift their heads.
they could even feel the barely contained rage within this terrifying pressure…
their hearts skipped a beat.
the cultivator surnamed li promptly spoke up, saying:
“senior…”
“we are unaware of any offence we might have caused senior, please enlighten us…”
at that moment, the two dared not even lift their heads.
however, a voice from above soon made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cavern.
“where is lin jue…”
this voice came over, and the two were stunned for a moment, quickly recalling that nightmare that had haunted them for a long period.
in the end, it was a golden core cultivator from the black shark gang who had taken action, curing them of this nightmare and recruiting them as peripheral members of the gang to help collect boys and girls who were without any backing.
it was then that the two learned that someone had manipulated them.
and that ‘senior’ who had manipulated them was now standing right in front of them.
they had thought this ‘senior’ would never appear again, even mentioning him just a little while ago.
but unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour’s time, he had reappeared before them.
upon realizing it was that ‘senior,’ the cultivator surnamed li hastily said:
“senior…”
“ever since being reprimanded by senior last time, we brothers have not troubled lin jue again…”
yet as soon as he finished his sentence, he felt the pressure from in front of him growing stronger, and he could distinctly sense the seething anger within it.
lowering his head, the cultivator surnamed li didn’t dare to look up at lin jing, but his mind raced…
in bihai city, the two truly didn’t take any actions that were detrimental to lin jue. instead, they lured lin jue away before proceeding with their plans.
