Wang Lin's eyes were cold as he looked at Qian Kun and gloomily said, "Hunchback Meng is your ancestor?"
Qian Kun's body suddenly trembled. If there was a trace of doubt in his heart before, then that doubt had completely disappeared. It has to be said that the Poison Demon's Palace Master, Meng Qingfan, was very infamous in the Sea of Devils.
Normal cultivators, no matter who they were, would respectfully call Meng Qingfan "Senior Meng."
Even his peers would call him "Palace Master Meng." The reason for this was not only because he was at the peak of the Soul Formation stage in the Sea of Devils, but also because of his poison techniques.
His poison attacks were very hard to defend against. They were colorless and tasteless, so even when someone was poisoned, they wouldn't know how they were poisoned.
Also, Meng Qingfan was a very strange person. If he didn't like someone, he would kill the entire sect.
There was once a large sect in the Sea of Devils. Although they didn't have any Soul Formation cultivators, they had several late stage Nascent Soul cultivators. This sect could be considered an overlord in the Sea of Devils.
However, a Nascent Soul disciple of this sect accidentally saw Hunchback Meng. Not only did he not recognize him, he even mocked him.
That night, Meng Qingfan entered the sect by himself. When he left one hour later, there were 3,456 people in the sect. This included all the workers, inner disciples, outer disciples, and even the late stage Nascent Soul cultivators. None of them were alive.
Every time Meng Qingfan killed someone, he liked to leave behind a name. Because of this, all the cultivators knew the reason.
As a result, Meng Qingfan's vicious name was something that everyone in the Sea of Devils would be afraid of.
There were very few people in the Sea of Devils who could call him Hunchback Meng. After Qian Kun heard Wang Lin's words, he was even more certain of his speculation.
"Se … Senior, ancestor Meng is indeed junior's ancestor."
Qian Kun didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly answered. After he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and didn't wait for Wang Lin to ask. He told him the secret he had in his heart in full detail.
As it turned out, Qian Kun had once heard a rich man mention that Patriarch Meng Qingfan hadn't disappeared. Instead, he had entered the Chaotic Broken Stars in search of treasure. Apparently, this was the second time the Patriarch had entered the Chaotic Broken Stars.
He also said that if one day, a large spatial rift appeared in the Chaotic Broken Stars, it meant that the Ancestor had returned!
When Qian Kun heard about this, he kept it in mind at first. But as time went by, this matter had nothing to do with his personal interests, so he slowly forgot about it.
As a result, when he saw the spatial rift appear in the Chaotic Broken Stars, he felt it was familiar, but he didn't think too much about it. However, when he answered Wang Lin's question, it was as if lightning had flashed through his mind and he immediately remembered the reason.
This was why his expression changed so much. When the spatial rift appeared in the Chaotic Broken Stars, the Ancestor didn't return. Even the Spirit Severing cultivators from 200 years ago, Duanmu Ji, the Mysterious Sky Sect's sect master Six Desire Devil Lord, and the Heavenly Devil Cave's Spirit Severing cultivator Ancient Emperor, didn't come out of the spatial rift. Instead, an unfamiliar young man came out.
He couldn't help but think of all kinds of possibilities.
After Wang Lin heard this, he pondered a bit. At this moment, Qian Kun was very nervous. He quietly placed his right hand on his bag of holding.
Then he secretly clenched his teeth and threw out a handful of black sand. At the same time, he backed up and desperately escaped without looking back.
The black sand gave off a fishy smell. After it appeared, it let out a light sound. Wang Lin sneered in his heart. He didn't dodge, but instead slapped his bag of holding and the poison sword flew out.
The moment the poison sword appeared, it instantly shuttled back and forth several times on the sand that covered the sky and covered the earth. The black sand immediately ignited with green flames and emitted bursts of cracking sounds. In the end, all the black sand turned into waves of green mist and was absorbed into the sword body by the poison sword.
All of this happened very quickly. The moment Qian Kun threw out the black sand and escaped, Wang Lin's poison sword absorbed the black sand into the mist.
At this moment, Qian Kun's heart trembled again. This time, his entire body gave off a cold feeling. He clenched his teeth and activated his spirit force to escape.
Wang Lin's eyes were cold. He pointed at his brow with his right hand and a black shadow flew out from his soul core. This black shadow was as fast as lightning. It charged out of his sea of consciousness and disappeared from between Wang Lin's eyebrows.
Devil Xu Liguo's voice echoed in the surroundings with a hint of ecstasy.
"I'm finally out. I've been holding it in for so long. Brat, don't run. Let your Grandpa Xu devour you to repay you for allowing me to see the heavens again. I won't let you feel any pain, don't worry!"
The moment this voice appeared, the devil Xu Liguo's body had already caught up to Qian Kun like smoke. Under Qian Kun's shocked gaze, Xu Liguo pounced on Qian Kun and devoured his divine sense. Then he took a shining golden core and Qian Kun's bag of holding and came out of Qian Kun's body. He returned to Wang Lin's side.
Xu Liguo forced out a flattering expression and reluctantly handed over the golden core.
Wang Lin took a look at the golden core and threw it into his mouth. The moment the golden core entered his mouth, the ancient god tactic circulated in his body. It only took a few breaths of time for the golden core to be broken down and completely absorbed.
Wang Lin could feel that more than eighty percent of the golden core was absorbed by his body the moment it was broken down. The remaining twenty percent was converted into spiritual energy.
After absorbing the golden core, Wang Lin put the bag of holding in his robe and pointed at Qian Kun's body. A small fireball flew out from his fingertip and landed on Qian Kun's body. In an instant, Qian Kun's body turned into ashes.
When Yun Fei saw this, her face became even paler. She subconsciously took a few steps back. In her opinion, this white-haired youth's cultivation was too deep and unfathomable. Especially the magic treasure he used. She could tell at a glance that it was a Nascent Soul.
Actually, it was no wonder that Yun Fei was mistaken. The devil Xu Liguo's divine sense was refined from a Nascent Soul. In addition, Xu Liguo had met a series of ancestors in the third trial of the Land of Auspicious Gods, causing some changes to his body.
More importantly, Wang Lin had formed a soul core. Although this soul core wouldn't increase the cultivation of the soul, once it formed a soul core, the soul would be able to create its own wandering souls. Furthermore, it would be of great help to the wandering souls.
As for Wang Lin killing Qian Kun, it was obviously because he didn't want the matter of him leaving the Chaotic Broken Stars to be exposed.
What terrified Yun Fei the most was seeing Wang Lin consume Qian Kun's golden core. It had to be said that even in the Poison Devil's Palace, the Devil's Palace Master wouldn't give birth to a golden core. Instead, he would use it as medicine.
She had never seen such a bloody scene before. Now, the sense of danger that Wang Lin gave her was even heavier than Qian Kun's.
Wang Lin's gaze landed on Yun Fei. Her body immediately trembled and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Wang Lin's expression was normal as he slowly said, "I helped you kill Qian Kun. How will you repay me?"
Yun Fei trembled as she raised her head. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a smile. However, her voice was trembling uncontrollably as she said,
"Se … Senior, junior and Qian Kun don't know each other."
Wang Lin didn't say anything. He just calmly looked at her.
Yun Fei immediately saw a trace of coldness in his eyes. She was anxious. The other party was obviously a naturally emotionless person. He wouldn't show any mercy just because she was a female cultivator. She knew that this kind of person was the most realistic. If she didn't have something that could move the other party, then what awaited her was only death.
Yun Fei was an extremely intelligent person. Through everything that happened just now, she already knew that the other party didn't want anyone to know that he came out from the Shattered Star Ring. Now that Qian Kun was dead, the only person who knew about this was her.
She bit her lower lip and revealed a decisive expression. She took out a jade from her bag of holding and respectfully handed it over to Wang Lin.
"Senior, this is a copy of junior's master's inheritance. There are a few precious pill recipes recorded inside. It is my Qi Huang Sect's sect treasure."
Wang Lin took the jade and scanned it with his divine sense. Then, he raised his head and looked at Yun Fei.
Yun Fei felt bitter in her heart. She could see that just a piece of jade wasn't enough to move him. Her mind quickly turned and, with a flash of inspiration, she quickly said, "Senior, junior grew up in Qi Lin city and has an earth ranked house. Junior is also very familiar with Qi Lin city. If senior needs anything, junior can do it for you." After she finished speaking, she was a bit worried that Wang Lin didn't know the rules of Qi Lin city, so she continued to say, "Senior, junior grew up in Qi Lin city.
"Senior, you know that if you don't have an identity in Qi Lin City, then you can only stay in the city for three days. After that, you have to spend 10 low quality spirit stones every day. Even so, you can only stay for ten more days.
"However, junior is different. I have an identity in Qi Lin City, so with junior leading the way, senior has no time limit.
"In addition, junior is very familiar with the inner Sea of Devils, including the location of the cities and the strength of the cultivators. Junior has been dealing with these matters in the past few years. It can be said that there are very few places in the Sea of Devils that junior doesn't know.
If it wasn't for the fact that I was too flustered by Qian Kun, junior wouldn't have made the mistake of coming to the Chaotic Broken Stars. "
After she finished speaking, Yun Fei nervously looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin pondered a bit. He reached out with his right hand and Yun Fei's body involuntarily floated toward him.
At the same time, he twisted his right wrist and moved his index and middle fingers together. Immediately, a shadow of a restriction appeared and hit Yun Fei's forehead.
"This restriction activates once every three days. Every time it activates, the blood in my body will flow backwards and my cultivation will become chaotic. This will trigger the five elemental fire in my heart and lungs. If I don't remove it within 15 minutes, my body will immediately turn into a pool of blood."
Yun Fei's expression changed, but she quickly calmed down and took a few deep breaths. She knew that her life had been preserved for the time being.
"Take me to Qi Lin City!" Wang Lin's expression was normal and his voice was calm.
Yun Fei quickly nodded. She carefully led the way next to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't use a flying sword. Instead, he floated forward as if he was supported by the wind.
This unique method of flying was actually the Attraction Technique that he mastered in his early years. Now that so many years have passed, under his constant use of the Attraction Technique, even the word "perfect" wouldn't be enough to describe it. To be more accurate, this Attraction Technique, under his use, was infinitely close to a realm of perfection.
For example, right now, even if he used a flying sword, his speed wouldn't be much faster. Instead, it would consume a lot of spiritual energy. This Attraction Technique, because it was one of the most basic techniques, the consumption of spiritual energy for a late stage Core Formation cultivator was almost negligible. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't even notice the consumption of spiritual energy.
It could be said that the amount of spiritual energy consumed in one breath was only one ten-thousandth of the amount of spiritual energy produced by the golden core in the same amount of time.
Yun Fei's heart couldn't help but tremble when she saw this kind of casual flying method. The sliver of hope that she would be lucky enough to escape from the devil's clutches dissipated a lot.
In reality, a distance of 30,000 miles wasn't very far. However, after flying for a day, Wang Lin still hadn't found Qi Lin City. His expression immediately darkened. Yun Fei also secretly complained. When she said that Qi Lin City was far away, she forgot that outside of the Chaotic Broken Stars, there was a circle of dark blue auroras that appeared from time to time.
The frequency of these auroras wasn't high, but every time they appeared, they would cover a large area. Once one entered, there wouldn't be any danger. However, inside the auroras, one's divine sense couldn't leave their body, so it was easy to get lost.
Outside of the auroras, Yun Fei nervously explained this matter. She was afraid of angering the other party, so she finished her explanation while trembling with fear. In the end, she suggested that they go around to the side. This way, it would take them a bit longer, but it wouldn't take them more than five days.
After Wang Lin heard this, he suddenly released his divine sense. After sweeping his surroundings once, his divine sense turned into a straight line and immediately extended outwards. Soon, he saw the auroras and examined them. It was just as Yun Fei said, so he nodded his head and agreed to her suggestion.
Yun Fei let out a breath of relief and quickly led the way.
Wang Lin wasn't a talkative person, and Yun Fei's heart was filled with fear. She didn't dare to rashly speak. Thus, for three days in a row, the two of them didn't talk at all.
At noon on the third day, the restriction within Yun Fei's body flared up. She confirmed what Wang Lin had said before. She felt her blood flow in reverse and her spiritual energy become chaotic. She even felt as if there was a ball of fire within her body, and her entire body felt like it was about to melt.
Fortunately, the flare up didn't last long before Wang Lin removed it. After experiencing this, the last trace of unwillingness in Yun Fei's heart completely disappeared. She no longer had any thoughts of rebelling.
Wang Lin knew what the other party was thinking like the back of his hand. Although he wasn't good at controlling people's hearts, he was very familiar with controlling demons.
The method he used on Yun Fei wasn't much different from raising a demon; the essence was the same.
During the festival, there were many things to do. It wasn't that his body couldn't handle them, but that he didn't have enough time. However, the promise of ten months wouldn't deviate.
