Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Chapter 244 Wǔ Cǎi Takes Action (2/2)
Lin Jing hurriedly clasped his fists in greeting, “Junior Lin Jing pays his respects to the elder.”
Zhang Wu looked at Lin Jing and asked,
“It’s you, how come you’re here?”
After speaking, he sized up Lin Jing.
“Not injured, that’s good…”
“Young Master Yuan and the others have all been looking for you.”
Lin Jing gave a wry smile before replying,
“To reply to the elder…”
“Previously at the site of Spirit Cleansing, an accident occurred, and I was teleported quite a distance away. After traveling day and night, I finally made it here.”
Zhang Wu nodded and said,
“I’m aware of the accident at the Spirit Cleansing site…”
“Many died…”
“Young Master Yuan and others were lucky to have escaped early on.”
“Initially, we thought that you might have met with an accident inside, and they were quite distressed for a while.”
“Not until later, when disciples from the Qingyuan Sword Sect informed them that you were safe and had been teleported out, did they finally feel relieved.”
“Right now, they are trying to figure out ways to look for you everywhere.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing was quite moved and quickly said,
“I have caused everyone concern.”
Zhang Wu continued speaking,
“As long as you’re alright, that’s what matters.”
“Since we’ve coincidentally met…”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you back to Fang Market…”
Lin Jing then clasped his hands towards Zhang Wu and said,
“Thank you, elder.”
Zhang Wu waved his hand and said, “No need…”
……
Afterwards.
Lin Jing followed Zhang Wu, flying toward Fang Market on their swords.
On this journey, Lin Jing stayed close behind Zhang Wu. Since they were not well-acquainted, Lin Jing simply focused on the journey and did not talk much.
Zhang Wu naturally wasn’t going to start a conversation either.
Like this, four hours passed.
Lin Jing finally saw the towering peaks piercing the clouds once more.
Once those peaks are in sight, Fang Market isn’t far away.
It was at that moment when the unexpected happened.
A person, riding on a sword, flew rapidly towards Fang Market from behind them. The aura emanating from him was overbearing and also agitated.
The moment the two sensed this aura, they quickly turned to look back.
Only when the person drew close did Lin Jing realize.
The person flying towards them was none other than Wu Cai Immortal.
Wu Cai Immortal looked extremely haggard at that time.
But the fury in his eyes was clearly visible.
It seemed he had encountered some urgent matter and wanted to rush back to Fang Market.
At that time.
Wu Cai Immortal also noticed Zhang Wu and Lin Jing.
He first looked at Zhang Wu, who had the higher cultivation, yet after only a glance, he paid him no further attention.
Next.
He turned his gaze towards the comparatively weaker Lin Jing.
Upon seeing Lin Jing.
A cold light flashed in Wu Cai Immortal’s eyes.
He then swung his hand, sending a palm strike towards Lin Jing.
This sudden turn of events.
Startled Zhang Wu, who hurriedly moved in front of Lin Jing, blocking the attack for him.
And Lin Jing.
Was shocked by this sudden attack as well.
He never imagined that Wu Cai Immortal, disregarding his own status, would suddenly launch an attack on him.
Straightaway.
Zhang Wu slapped his Storage Bag, and a shield-shaped Magical Treasure appeared in front of him.
Wu Cai Immortal’s palm strike landed, and Zhang Wu raised the shield to block it.
“Boom!” came a loud noise.
Wu Cai Immortal’s palm strike was entirely blocked by Zhang Wu’s shield.
Zhang Wu was also pushed back a few steps under the force of the palm.
This demonstrated.
The power of the palm strike was not something Lin Jing, a Qi Refinement eighth layer small Cultivator, could handle.
It seemed Wu Cai Immortal intended to kill Lin Jing with one palm strike right there.
After the palm strike, Zhang Wu stared angrily at Wu Cai Immortal,
“Wu Cai, what do you intend to do?”
Wu Cai Immortal’s eyes were fierce as he stared at Lin Jing, talking to Zhang Wu,
“Zhang Wu, step aside. This has nothing to do with you.”
“You must have heard that when this boy was at the Spirit Cleansing site, he caused trouble for my disciple Yi Yuan, obstructing him in many ways.”
“Since he didn’t die, I’d like to conduct a Soul Search on him.”
“To see whether Yi Yuan’s death has anything to do with him…”
