Chapter 366: Chapter 67: The Enemy Attacks
At this moment,
Lin Jing couldn’t help but admire Yan Wanfei’s approach; whenever he had nothing to do before, he felt uneasy unless he took several turns around Li Yan City every day.
He responded to everyone’s greetings one by one.
Furthermore, Yan Wanfei didn’t feel tired at all.
Every time he walked the streets of Li Yan City, he strode with vigor and high spirits.
Just in that respect, he really couldn’t compare.
After leaving Li Yan City, Lin Jing didn’t go back to the hillock; instead, he headed straight for the southernmost sand beach of Li Yan Island.
The beach was vast, and sometimes when the tide went out, many fish and shrimps were stranded there.
And these fish and shrimps would become the sustenance for the commoners in the nearby villages.
These commoners, who couldn’t cultivate, lived in a cruel world of cultivation.
All day long they had to face those lofty cultivators; one moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.
How could that not be tragic?
But there was no help for it; that was just the way the world of cultivation was.
Not to mention commoners, even low-level cultivators lived the same way…
They toiled all day long, looking for ways to improve their cultivation, just to survive.
And when these low-level cultivators faced the higher-level ones, what difference was there from commoners?
Sometimes Lin Jing himself wondered, if he had become a commoner unable to cultivate when he had traversed to this world.
And,
without the system, what would his life be like now?
Would he be resenting the heavens for their unfairness?
Or would he accept his fate?
Or perhaps, he would have already met an untimely death, completely vanished into thin air…
…
…
Lin Jing stood on the beach, gazing at the vast sea in front of him, lost in thought…
He did not know how much time had passed.
The wandering Lin Jing suddenly woke up to an approaching aura.
Lin Jing frowned and then immediately unfolded his Divine Sense to probe; upon detecting the newcomers, he relaxed.
It turned out to be Lady Yue Qi, flying on her sword towards this place.
It didn’t take long for her to arrive at the beach where Lin Jing was.
Then Lady Yue Qi put away her Flying Sword and descended from the sky.
After landing, Lady Yue Qi came to Lin Jing’s side and took out a book from her Storage Bag, handing it to Lin Jing.
“Island Master Lin, the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique has been fully copied; please keep it safe…”
Lin Jing nodded and did not open the book for inspection, but directly put it away.
“You…”
Lin Jing was about to say something.
But suddenly his brows furrowed, and he stopped the words he was about to say, looking up towards the calm sea in the distance.
Lady Yue Qi, not understanding, also followed Lin Jing’s gaze toward the sea ahead.
However,
today the sea was calm and peaceful, and Lady Yue Qi saw nothing.
So she asked Lin Jing hastily,
“Island Master Lin, what’s the matter?”
Lin Jing did not turn his head, staring at the distant sea, and said in a low voice,
“Someone’s coming…”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Lady Yue Qi looked again toward the distant sea, but still saw nothing.
There was no helping it; her Divine Sense was much weaker than Lin Jing’s.
At this moment, Lin Jing turned to Yue Qi and said,
“They should be arriving soon, you should head back to the island first…”
“These people, I’m afraid they don’t come with good intentions…”
Lady Yue Qi was startled and said quickly,
“Could it be that someone is planning to attack Li Yan Island taking advantage of this situation?”
Lin Jing looked at the distant sea, contemplative,
“Possible…”
Lady Yue Qi then spoke,
“Then I can’t leave. If someone attacks Li Yan Island, I can help out here.”
Lin Jing looked at Lady Yue Qi’s resolute gaze and couldn’t help shaking his head, saying,
“You probably won’t be able to help…”
As Lin Jing spoke, Lady Yue Qi understood what he meant,
“Golden Core Cultivators!”
Lin Jing nodded, saying,
“Three Golden Cores, one Foundation Establishment…”
He sighed,
“Ah… never mind…”
“They’re here; just watch, I’ll take care of the rest.”
As Lin Jing spoke, a few figures had already appeared on the distant seashore.
Obviously, they had already arrived.
The reason Lin Jing was so confident,
was because the cultivation level of these three people was not very high.
The one leading them had reached the Fourth Rank of Golden Core.
And the other two, one had the same cultivation as Lin Jing, the first rank of Golden Core.
The other was a bit higher but had only reached the second rank of Golden Core.
Additionally, following them was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Since the last time, when Lin Jing had encountered Ghost Sage Qi and truly battled, he had gained a preliminary understanding of his own strength.
The one mid-Golden Core and two early-Golden Core cultivators in front of him were no match for him.
Moreover, Lin Jing now held an Array Plate that could control the great Formation of Li Yan Island.
This Formation of Li Yan Island was a Fourth Rank Killing Formation.
With their cultivation, trying to forcefully break through a Fourth Rank Killing Formation without paying a price, how could it be possible?
Unless, among them, there was a cultivator skilled in formations.
As the group drew closer, Lin Jing could see the faces of the people ahead.
The one at the front was a middle-aged cultivator in white, followed by two others.
These two had appearances younger than the cultivator in white, one fat and one thin, making a striking contrast.
Behind the three of them was a sinister-looking young man.
