Chapter 259: Chapter 244 Wǔ Cǎi Takes Action
The Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse had already dissipated.
Next.
Lin Jing needed to figure out a way to leave.
However.
Even if Lin Jing wanted to leave now, he couldn’t do it from here.
This place had already attracted the attention of the Wu Cai Immortal, so Lin Jing still needed to use the Fixed Point Teleportation function to leave this area first.
Over this period.
Lin Jing had also carefully observed.
The frequency of the Liu Clan’s people appearing here was not very often; most of the time, they were just passing through.
Lin Jing once saw them flying towards the direction of the Stone Forest while in Observation Mode.
Presumably, the place where Lin Jing had killed Liu Yiyuan had already been discovered by them.
Most of them were conducting searches there.
Next.
Lin Jing first activated Observation Mode to check out the surroundings.
Especially the area near where he was about to use Fixed Point Teleportation.
After some observation, Lin Jing found that it was very quiet there, with not a single person around.
Only then did Lin Jing feel at ease.
After completing his observation, Lin Jing spoke directly:
“System, activate Fixed Point Teleportation.”
As the words fell, Lin Jing’s view began to rise.
Immediately after.
Lin Jing chose a good place and began to teleport.
Then, Lin Jing’s view blurred, and a tearing force transmitted to his body.
A moment later, the tearing force disappeared.
The scene before his eyes also became clear.
By now, Lin Jing had already arrived at the point he had selected earlier.
After coming out.
Lin Jing didn’t dare to linger too long and quickly left the place.
……
This entire Demon Race Secret Realm was really too vast.
After Lin Jing emerged, he walked for half a day.
And hadn’t come across a single soul.
Furthermore.
Because he hadn’t been here before, Lin Jing himself did not know where he was.
He was lost.
He had no choice but to follow the direction from which the Liu Clan’s people had flown and advance in that direction.
Because that place was most likely where the market of the purifying spirit land was located.
Just like that.
Lin Jing continued to move in that direction.
Until the next day.
He still hadn’t seen the market.
The previous half-day, combined with this night.
Lin Jing had unleashed his cultivation and hurried along the way, his speed was not slow.
Although.
There were Demonic Beasts that wanted to attack him along the way.
But Lin Jing was always swift in disposing of them, without wasting too much time.
All together, he had traveled at least hundreds of miles.
……
Following that.
Lin Jing continued forward.
Before long, Lin Jing finally encountered someone else.
Moreover, this person was flying on a sword.
Anyone who dared to fly on a sword in this place certainly had strong cultivation, probably at least at the Golden Core Stage.
It wasn’t until the person got a bit closer that Lin Jing noticed the aura emanating from the person.
It was indeed undeniably a Golden Core.
However.
At the same moment Lin Jing noticed him, the person seemed to have spotted Lin Jing, too, and immediately changed direction, flying towards him.
Seeing this.
Lin Jing couldn’t help frowning.
It wasn’t surprising that a Golden Core Cultivator could detect him.
But why he would fly over to him was puzzling.
Lin Jing then looked up to the sky.
Not until the person got closer.
Did Lin Jing realize…
This Golden Core Cultivator, he actually knew him.
This person was the same servant he had encountered when he had visited Zhang Yuan last time.
The Fifth Master, Zhang Wu.
Seeing this person, Lin Jing could finally put his mind at ease.
Soon.
Zhang Wu arrived above Lin Jing.
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…”
