Chapter 281. Honor (1/2)
There was a very bright and handsome young man wearing black, leather clothes standing on a flying sword. He looked different from other cultivators from Xue Yu, which was very refreshing.
The female disciple’s eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted, “Senior apprentice brother is back!”
As for the second disciple, his face suddenly became gloomy, but that was replaced by a happy expression in a flash.
Wang Lin could tell from the memories of the Core Formation cultivator that he really liked the eldest disciple. This eldest disciple had some blood relations with the Core Formation cultivator.
The eldest disciple could just barely be considered a genius. It took him 100 years to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and was only one step away from the Core Formation stage.
But according to the Core Formation cultivator’s memories, the reason he liked this eldest disciple was because of the disciple’s looks. He planned to marry his eldest disciple off to the female disciple of another late stage Core Formation cultivator to form an alliance.
After only a quick glimpse of this memory, Wang Lin no longer paid attention to it. The sword came close and arrived before the ice tower. The eldest disciple knelt on the ground and said, with a clear voice, “Disciple greets master. I was lucky and managed to find the hiding place of those Four Sect Alliance remnants!”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm, but this heart suddenly skipped a beat. He did remember seeing in the Core Formation cultivator’s memory that he had sent his eldest disciple out because a mortal reported to that they had seen someone that didn’t look like they were from Xue Yu.
So the Core Formation cultivator sent out his eldest disciple to check up on this matter.
This kind of thing wasn’t uncommon in the past few years. No matter how powerful the remaining Four Sect Alliance cultivators were, after years of being under this bizarre snow, they had all weakened greatly.
Although this was the case, Xue Yu couldn’t be careless. Normally, when this type of thing happened, it would be reported to the Divine Temple of Ice and Snow. They would then send someone to deal with it.
The temple was extremely keen on this. If the report was given today, they would send someone out tomorrow.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit, then calmly said, “Lead the way.”
The eldest disciple was startled. When this happens, his master normally never deals with it personally. However, he knew not to ask, so he only nodded and led the way.
The other two disciples looked at each other and followed behind. After all, their master was going personally. If they didn’t go, then there might be trouble in the future.
So they forced themselves to follow Wang Lin.
The four of them formed a four point beam of light and flew into the distance. After a short while, the eldest disciple stopped. He pointed at a snowy mountain and said, “Disciple used the flying ice sculpture and personally saw that a person disappeared here. I believe they have a hiding place here.”
Wang Lin’s divine sense swept the area. Although his expression was calm, his eyes became focused.
“The three of you wait here!” After leaving that order, Wang Lin flew forward.
His divine sense found that below the snowy mountain there was a restriction, and inside it were two souls. One of them was only at the Core Formation stage, but the other one was very strange. Sometimes it was Core Formation, sometimes it was Nascent Soul, and sometimes it was even Soul Formation.
This phenomenon had only one explanation and that was this person’s Nascent Soul and cultivation was about to scatter, meaning it was extremely unstable.
Wang Lin’s body landed on top of the snowy mountain and sank into to mountain. He was closing in on the restriction.
He soon arrived at the restriction. As long as it was a restriction, he wasn’t afraid of it. It took only one look to see through this restriction’s structure. He sent out two restriction rings. The two restrictions soon started to fuse.
Wang Lin stepped through the restriction and went inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw a sword move and more than 10 sword qis attacked him.
Wang Lin’s gaze was calm. His right hand seemed to randomly point in the air and he whispered, “Life.”
The life and death domain suddenly gathered on Wang Lin’s fingertip. This gentle point contained the way of the heavens and was filled with mysteries.
A gasp came from the swords. They then started to circle around Wang Lin’s finger.
The swords were emitting a light as they underwent a change. Now the spiritual energy they released was several times more powerful than before.
However, the divine sense was completely erased by the power of the domain.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the terrified young man who was too scared to speak.
Behind the young man sat an old man on an ice bed. This person’s eyes were closed and his face changed between red and green.
After a flick Wang Lin’s finger, all of the swords suddenly fell to the ground with a ring.
The young man regained his senses. His face was filled with grief and indignation. He clenched his fist and shouted, “You guys destroyed my home, and now you’ve chased us here. Do you guys have to kill us all? You will kill us today, but someday there will be someone who will destroy Xue Yu.”
This person’s voice was filled with resentment that was now engraved in his bones.
After looking at the young man, Wang Lin’s gaze fell on the old man.
The young man blocked Wang Lin’s view. He watched Wang Lin for a bit, then, after pondering for a while, he suddenly knelt to the ground. He bit his lower lip hard until it bled and said, with a bitter smile, “Please don’t kill my master, kill me instead! I am the Water Ink Sect’s junior sect head. If you capture me and bring me back, you will definitely be rewarded. As long as you let my master go, then I’ll willing to go with you. If you don’t, you will only be able to get my corpse.”
Although Wang Lin’s eyes were calm, his heart was slightly touched. He slowly looked at the young man and then at the old man. Then he slowly said, “Why do you want to exchange your life for your master’s?”
The young man was silent for a very long time before responding with a bitter smile. “Master could have left a long time ago if it wasn’t for me dragging him down. It was all because he tried to save me…”
