Chapter 260: Chapter 245 Temporary resolution of the crisis
Upon hearing the words of the Wu Cai Immortal, a shock immediately went through Lin Jing’s heart.
He had not expected the Wu Cai Immortal to be so overbearing.
Without a second word, he went straight for a Soul Search on him.
The Soul-searching Technique.
It is an extremely malevolent Cultivation Technique.
It can forcibly search through a Cultivator’s memory, but it is only effective on those whose Cultivation is lower than one’s own.
Memory is naturally the most private and important aspect of a person, and cannot be casually searched by others.
If only that were all, the most crucial issue is that this technique is difficult to control. If the practitioner is not careful, they could damage the other’s sea of consciousness, causing them to become stupid and demented for the rest of their life.
Even more serious, turning into a vegetative state is also not impossible.
Therefore, the Soul-searching Technique is generally used against enemies and isn’t lightly employed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu’s brow also furrowed, and then he spoke directly:
“It’s absolutely impossible. The person from your Liu Clan who was killed had your Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse on him, and it definitely wasn’t this Lin Jing. You couldn’t possibly be unaware of that.”
“Besides, Lin Jing is only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. How could he possibly be an opponent for your clan’s younger generation?”
After listening, the Wu Cai Immortal’s expression darkened as he looked at Lin Jing:
“Yi Yuan had a conflict with him just now at the Spirit Cleansing grounds.”
“Who knew that right after he was transmitted from the Spirit Cleansing grounds, he would be killed. How do you explain this?”
“Even if this person isn’t the murderer, he is still a major suspect.”
Having spoken, the Wu Cai Immortal stared intently at Zhang Wu, with obvious killing intent in his eyes, while saying coldly, “Today…”
“I am determined to Soul Search him, Zhang Wu, are you intending to stop me?”
It looked as though the Wu Cai Immortal didn’t put Zhang Wu in his eyes at all and was determined to proceed with the Soul Search on Lin Jing.
At this point, Zhang Wu’s expression also darkened:
“Wu Cai, aren’t you being too tyrannical? This man is on good terms with our young master. No matter what, I cannot allow you to lay a hand on him in my presence.”
Zhang Wu’s attitude was extremely resolute, standing in front of Lin Jing.
Seeing that Zhang Wu gave no ground, the Wu Cai Immortal’s aura suddenly surged, looking as though he would strike at any moment.
Lin Jing’s brows also deeply furrowed.
The Wu Cai Immortal was so unreasonable, not caring about his identity as a Golden Core Immortal and insisting on making a move against him—something Lin Jing could never have anticipated.
In this situation, even if he wanted to enter the System Space, it seemed highly unlikely.
Fortunately, they were not too far from the entrance to the Spirit Cleansing grounds at Fang Market. Should a fight break out,
Lin Jing would have no option but to do his best to help Zhang Wu hold off the Wu Cai Immortal, waiting for someone from the Fang Market to arrive.
With this in mind, Lin Jing had already reached for his Storage Bag.
As soon as the Wu Cai Immortal made a move, Lin Jing would pull out the Lu Zhen Sword that the Zhang Family Patriarch had given him.
Elder Yu had once told him that the Lu Zhen Sword could even pose a threat to a Golden Core Cultivator.
By then, even just holding it in his hands would be a threat to the Wu Cai Immortal, causing the latter to fear damaging the valuable object and not dare to exert his full strength.
Sometimes,
A trump card’s effectiveness doesn’t always require it to be played.
Just at this critical moment…
An old voice came from behind Lin Jing.
“Wu Cai Daoist friend, long time no see, hope all has been well with you.”
