Chapter 823: Chapter 818: Sister and the Man in the Black Robe (Second Update!)
Miao Feiyun was captured by Lin Tian, soaring through the air.
Upon hearing Lin Tian’s icy words vowing to destroy the Holy Gu Sect, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Up close, he felt even more the overwhelming anger and killing intent emanating from Lin Tian.
“Senior… Senior, I’m willing to lead the way, I’m willing to lead the way… Please spare my life!”
Miao Feiyun had been terrified for a long time. Now, with Lin Tian’s killing intent rising, he traveled with anxiety and fear, worried that the latter might, in a fit of anger, give him just one sword strike, which would mean death.
He didn’t want to die!
A burst of begging, seeing Lin Tian unmoved, Miao Feiyun’s heart was uneasy, anxious, and scared once more.
If they arrived at the place and Lin Tian killed him with one sword, he would die feeling suffocated and dissatisfied.
His mind racing quickly, his eyes suddenly brightened, he hurriedly said, “Senior, I’m willing to lead the way, but if you go recklessly, maybe… maybe you won’t be able to save your friend! When they use your friend as leverage, you’ll be caught in a dilemma, what then? So you need a plan, otherwise, it’ll backfire, I can cooperate with you, as long as you don’t kill me!”
Lin Tian’s brow furrowed, he stopped, stepping sword soaring.
Previously fueled by anger, with the mind only thinking about charging towards the Holy Gu Sect, now hearing Miao Feiyun’s reminder, Lin Tian’s heart’s fury was finally restrained and calmed down a bit.
“Who from the Ancient Medicine Sect is there now? Do you have any method to ensure their safety?”
Lin Tian’s eyes were icy, directly looking at Miao Feiyun, said coldly, “If you have no way, then you’re of no value to me!”
“Yes… Yes… Senior, I’m a steward of the Holy Gu Sect, I can take you into the Ancient Medicine Sect and the core of the Holy Gu Sect, and also secretly rescue people…”
Miao Feiyun was scared, responded continuously, said anxiously, “Senior, spare my life, I’m willing to do anything…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian nodded slightly.
But as he prepared to take Miao Feiyun and continue the journey, he suddenly stopped again.
This time, Lin Tian landed directly.
This place is a vast forest, seemingly deep within Tusk Forest, around them besides towering ancient trees, are the sounds of serpents and beasts rising and falling.
“Senior, what are we doing here? There’s still over a hundred kilometers to Ancient Medicine Town!”
Miao Feiyun glanced around, his face uneasy, his heart filled with apprehension.
But the response he received was Lin Tian flicking his finger to send out a True Energy Blade.
That True Qi, impartial and unerring, struck directly on his Dantian.
With a crisp sound, like a deflating ball, his entire cultivation was completely abolished.
Miao Feiyun cried out in pain, rolling to the ground, his cultivation instantly abolished, he was injured and became incredibly weak.
Lin Tian coldly commanded Miao Feiyun, then immediately flew towards the east.
Previously, Lin Tian’s Divine Sense had been enveloping the surroundings all along.
Just then, a few kilometers away to the east, two figures appeared within the range of his Divine Sense.
One of them, a girl, was desperately fleeing within the deep forest.
While the other was an elder draped entirely in a black robe, sitting cross-legged in a cave, who only pursued after the girl had run a certain distance.
However, after the elder started pursuing, his stance was always like that of a cat playing with a mouse, seemingly not eager to capture the girl.
This scene was completely observed within Lin Tian’s Divine Sense range.
Lin Tian did not want to concern himself with this matter, but upon recognizing the girl, he finally stopped and decided to rescue her.
Simply because he had seen the girl before—she was from the Logging Village, Duan Shiyi.
“Why is she here alone in this desolate mountain and forest?”
Lin Tian was very confused; previously, she was with her grandfather and grandmother heading to the Ancient Medicine Sect.
Encountering her now in this desolate wilderness, he was quite surprised.
Lin Tian arrived at the direction where Duan Shiyi was fleeing, blocking her path.
“Duan Shiyi, what happened?”
Blocking her path, Lin Tian simultaneously looked at the direction behind her, a few kilometers away, where the elder clad in black robes leisurely pursued.
Suddenly intercepted, the girl opposite’s face changed dramatically, she rebuked, “Who are you?”
Seeing that she didn’t recognize him, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, then said, “Aren’t you Duan Shiyi? We met before at the Logging Village?”
“You know my sister? I’m her elder sister, Duan Shiyue!”
Duan Shiyue glanced back, said urgently, “You’re her friend? Someone is chasing me now, you better run quickly too!”
Saying this, she didn’t stop her steps, turned and was about to run forward again.
Seeing her trying to continue running forward, Lin Tian couldn’t help but shake his head.
With merely a Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivation, how could she escape that person’s pursuit.
Earlier, Lin Tian had already detected the cultivation of that black-robed person, which was at the Golden Core Early Stage realm, terrifying indeed!
Let alone Duan Shiyue, even a being in the Fake Core Realm would be insignificant in the eyes of that black-robed person.
Duan Shiyue had only run a short distance when a boom echoed in the air, as though thunder exploded, True Qi like waves, accompanied by a burst of wildness, sweeping the forest into roaring echoes, withered leaves filling the skies.
Ahead of Duan Shiyue’s escape direction, the black-robed elder stepped down from mid-air.
This is something a cultivator who enters the Golden Core Realm can achieve.
“Who on earth are you? Why are you capturing me?”
Intercepted by the black-robed elder, Duan Shiyue’s face turned pale, she cried out tremblingly.
“Hehe, little girl, you have an Ice Spirit Root in your body, which just happens to allow me to seize it for cultivation!”
The black-robed elder’s body was entirely cloaked, his face unclear, emitting a creepy, sinister laugh as he approached Duan Shiyue, “If you can help me progress further, it can be considered your good fortune!”
Lin Tian was surprised, his Divine Sense extended, encompassing Duan Shiyue, indeed finding traces of the Ice Spirit Root within her, though that Spirit Root was very weak, with only a faint fluctuation.
It’s almost negligible, this thing’s impact on cultivation is minimal.
At least, in Lin Tian’s view, this small Spirit Root has little influence on future achievements.
“What on earth happened? How did you get caught by him?”
Lin Tian sighed slightly, walked to Duan Shiyue’s side, and asked.
Previously, Duan Shiyi had also helped him, since she is her elder sister, he might as well rescue her easily.
Now, Lin Tian was more curious about the origin of the elder before him, his whole body exuded a cold aura, distinct from the cultivators of Miao Region.
“I… I followed my uncle and other family members here, heading to the Ancient Medicine Sect, but I fell behind because I was trying to pick a Spiritual Medicine, and unexpectedly got captured by this weird person! Earlier, he was meditating, which gave me the chance to escape…”
Duan Shiyue saw the elder approaching, retreated in panic, explained anxiously while urging Lin Tian, “This doesn’t concern you, hurry and escape…”
