In a rank 1 cultivation country in Suzaku, an old man who was eating a chicken leg suddenly coughed a few times and spat out the chicken in his mouth. He looked toward the direction of the country of Rosefinch with a gloomy expression and was about to leave when he slowly sat down again.
His expression was extremely ugly as he muttered to himself, "Senior apprentice brother, we have fought for our entire lives. Are we going to keep fighting even when we're about to die … I lost the title of Rosefinch back then, so I'll give it to you … But don't go too far!
"This Wang Lin, since he was able to return from the Celestial Realm alive, he is the person I chose. If you destroy him, I'll destroy Qian Feng!"
He threw away the chicken leg in his hand and his eyes lit up.
"However, if this Wang Lin uses Junior Liu Mei as a cultivation furnace, what are the chances of that happening … Senior apprentice brother, I want to see if your disciple is better or if the person I chose is better. This will be interesting!"
Wang Lin sat on top of the mosquito beast with his eyes closed. After a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a sigh.
"The injuries to my body are easy to deal with, but the injuries to my origin soul are a bit troublesome. Also, in this country of Rosefinch, I always feel a sense of danger. This feeling can't be wrong!
"Red Butterfly's injuries should be similar to mine, but she seems to have gained some enlightenment and will definitely make a breakthrough after going into closed door cultivation. If I can't reach the late stage of Soul Formation, I fear I won't be able to resist her when we meet again."
Wang Lin was pondering when his expression suddenly changed. The mosquito beast stopped and looked around in confusion.
"Tide Turn!"
An ancient voice suddenly rang out from the void. Immediately after, a huge formation appeared in the sky.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate to put the mosquito beast away and teleport away. However, when he was 50 kilometers away, his body was bounced back with a bang.
Shortly after, the formation in the sky moved and a powerful force came out. Wang Lin was terrified as his body was sucked into the sky and flew toward the formation.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the formation.
The formation slowly dissipated and a white-haired old man appeared in mid-air. He muttered to himself, "Xue Yu, this time, you owe the Old Man a favor!"
This person was the one who sat beside Gongsun Po that day. He was the External Affairs Elder of the Heavenly Jade Sect!
The extreme north of the Rosefinch continent was a desolate place. At this moment, a huge array diagram suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, a figure was thrown out from the array diagram and landed.
Wang Lin's body was still in midair when he leaped up and looked around cautiously. Then, his face couldn't help but turn gloomy.
In front of him was a middle-aged man. In front of him was a set of tables and chairs, and on top of them was a tea set.
At that moment, he was sitting on a chair holding a teacup. He blew on the tea and took a sip. He raised his head and smiled. "Ceng Niu, my friend, I am Li Yuanfeng, the sect leader of Xue Yue. I am here to take your life on behalf of Red Butterfly!"
"A Soul Transformation old monster!
Wang Lin immediately recognized the other party's cultivation level. His heart couldn't help but become even more gloomy.
Without saying a word, his right hand tore open space. He was planning on tearing open space and using the star compass to escape.
Facing a Soul Transformation old monster, Wang Lin knew that he couldn't resist. The only thing he could do was run!
But immediately, Wang Lin's eyes became cold. In the past, with his cultivation level, tearing open space was as easy as flipping his hand. But now, even with all his strength, he couldn't tear open space.
This had nothing to do with the decrease in his cultivation level. After all, even though his cultivation level had decreased, he was still at the early stage of Soul Transformation. There was no way he couldn't tear open space.
The middle-aged man put down the teacup and shook his head. "Little guy, in order to prevent you from escaping, this place has been sealed. Without a crack in space, your star compass is as good as useless."
Without saying a word, Wang Lin turned around and was about to teleport. But immediately, the coldness in his eyes became even stronger. Teleportation was useless!
The star compass was useless.
Teleportation was useless.
The other party clearly knew him very well, so they set up a trap to not give him any chance to escape.
Wang Lin took a step and quickly retreated.
The middle-aged man poured another cup of tea, blew on it, and took a sip. Then he put down the teacup and stood up. He shook his head and said, "I don't need to act, but once I do, I won't let my guard down just because you're at the Soul Formation stage. Ceng Niu, this time you're dead for sure."
His body moved and he flew forward, following Wang Lin from afar.
No matter how fast Wang Lin was, this person was as fast as him. He wasn't in a hurry to chase and was just playing with Wang Lin like a cat playing with a mouse.
Wang Lin's heart became even more gloomy. He slapped his bag of holding and took out a piece of jade. He injected his spiritual energy into it and the jade immediately released a blue flame.
"Sun Tai, come quickly!" Wang Lin sighed.
Not long after, he suddenly stopped. There were three people standing before him.
The three of them were all wearing black robes that covered their faces. The one in the middle took a step forward, and in an instant, a tremendous pressure could be felt from the Heavens and Earth.
"Another Soul Transformation cultivator!" Wang Lin felt bitter in his heart.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had already caught up. He stopped 100 feet away and smiled. "Little friend Ceng Niu, there's no need to run. Today is the day you die!"
With that, he raised his right hand and pointed at Wang Lin. Suddenly, a whirlwind appeared before him and charged at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin quickly retreated. He raised his right hand and slashed down with the celestial sword.
The sword energy flashed like crazy. The whirlwind trembled and dissipated slightly. The sword energy pierced through the whirlwind and charged at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man revealed a hint of mockery in his eyes. He reached out and grabbed the sword energy. With a squeeze, the sword energy collapsed.
"Eh?" The middle-aged man was a bit surprised. His entire right hand felt a bit numb.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. His cultivation level had dropped, his spiritual energy was in chaos, and his origin soul was injured. He couldn't even use the celestial sword like he did when he fought Red Butterfly.
Wang Lin clenched his teeth and turned around to escape again.
Just at this moment, the black-robed Soul Transformation cultivator let out a snort. His body moved like lightning and he caught up to Wang Lin in an instant. He gently patted Wang Lin's back.
Wang Lin let out a miserable groan. He only had time to gather the remaining spiritual energy in his body and use the celestial sword to block in front of him. However, his body was still hit by a powerful force and he was thrown back a few thousand feet. He coughed out a large mouthful of blood along with some pieces of his internal organs.
Wang Lin's face was ashen and his injuries became even more severe.
The black-robed old man reached out and the celestial sword flew out of Wang Lin's hand. He carefully looked at it and said, "This is a good sword!
There is even a sword soul inside. Not bad! "
The middle-aged man faintly smiled and said, "This sword belongs to you, but the small flag that can trigger divine retribution belongs to me."
The black-robed old man laughed and said, "Good, there is also the star compass. It belongs to my clan, so I'm going to take it!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Of course."
Wang Lin struggled to stand up. His legs were trembling. This wasn't his intention, but it was caused by his injuries.
His expression was gloomy as he stared at the black-robed old man and said, word for word, "Giant Demon Clan!"
The black-robed old man took off his robe, revealing his true appearance. His hair was grey and his face was filled with wrinkles. However, his eyes were as bright as the moon.
He looked at Wang Lin and smiled. "Little friend Ceng Niu, the Old Man is indeed a member of the Giant Demon Clan. Back in the Celestial Realm, you stole my clan's star compass. Today, I'm here to take it away. I hope you don't mind!"
Wang Lin's eyes were gloomy. His right hand trembled as he took out a pill from his bag of holding. He took a whiff of the pill before the two Soul Transformation old monsters and calmly said, "Two Soul Transformation old monsters attacked me at the same time just to take my life. I'll remember this honor!"
The middle-aged man faintly smiled and nodded. "There is no anchor, so this is how it should be. Even if you die, you should die with a smile. As for your treasures, the Old Man is very interested."
With that, he pointed with his right hand again.
This time a strand of spiritual energy as thick as an arm suddenly flew out from the middle-aged man's hand. It immediately arrived next to Wang Lin and charged toward him.
Wang Lin's spiritual energy had recovered a bit. He waved his right hand and the restriction flag appeared in his hand. He shook the flag and restriction gas flew out, forming layers of black fog that blocked the spiritual energy.
There was a series of sizzling sounds as the restriction gas dissipated one by one. In the end, the restriction gas blocked the spiritual energy.
"What a good little flag. I want to carefully study it!"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He looked at the restriction flag in Wang Lin's hand and smiled.
In his eyes, this time, Ceng Niu was dead for sure. There was no way two Soul Transformation cultivators couldn't kill a mere Soul Formation cultivator.
Wang Lin's face became even more pale and a trace of despair appeared in his heart. His original body couldn't come. Not to mention that he was too far away, even if he wasn't far away, he still couldn't come. Otherwise, he would truly die today.
The only way was to stall for time and wait for Sun Tai.
However, the moment he waved the restriction flag, all of the spiritual energy in his body was used up. At this moment, he didn't have any spiritual energy left.
The middle-aged man raised his right hand. Just as he was about to point again, a black-robed man next to the Giant Demon Clan's Soul Transformation cultivator stepped forward and respectfully said, "Ancestor, please allow junior to personally kill this person to get revenge for what happened back then!"
The middle-aged man lowered his hand and looked at the Giant Demon Clan ancestor.
The ancestor looked at the black-robed man and nodded.
The black-robed man quickly turned around and took off his mask. He was Chi Hu!
Chi Hu's eyes were calm as he turned into a blur and flew toward Wang Lin.
"Chi Hu!" Wang Lin held the restriction flag in his hand and revealed a complicated expression.
"Ceng Niu, accept your death!"
Chi Hu roared, but a strange light flashed through his eyes. He waved his right hand and a wave of Spiritual Energy whistled out.
When Wang Lin saw Chi Hu's gaze, his heart skipped a beat.
The surging spiritual energy didn't have any offensive power. Instead, it entered Wang Lin's body. Suddenly, the spiritual energy that Wang Lin had used up was replenished.
