Chapter 1159: Chapter 1157: Who Said... I’m Running Away?

Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, the newly-rebuilt Saint Mansion.

Within the Saint Mansion, Yan Yu and Chu Yue stood below Yejian Jun.

Yejian Jun slightly narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Counting the time, it’s been ten days since Jin Liang and the others left; they should have already arrived at the Treasure Pavilion."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Saint Senior Brother."

Yejian Jun shook his head and said, "Alas, there’s really no need for such measures. Even if Lin Bai had half a year, what could he do? Could he really defeat me after half a year?"

Chu Yue casually smiled and said, "We never considered that Lin Bai had the capability to challenge Saint Senior Brother; it’s just that, if someone as insignificant as Lin Bai required Saint Senior Brother to take action, wouldn’t that imply that we are incompetent?"

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Exactly, Saint Senior Brother, rest assured. This time, Wen Ye led twenty-one Warriors who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, and with Jin Liang’s group acting in collusion from within, Lin Bai will surely die without a complete corpse within Treasure Mountain!"

"And the prohibitions and measures within that Treasure Mountain were arranged by several hundred Array Masters from the Red Immortal Sect; with the Array Master’s current level of cultivation on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, they are incapable of breaking the prohibitions!"

"Therefore, Lin Bai shouldn’t even dream of touching anything in that Treasure Mountain!"

"It’s perfect that he’s looking for Gold Sand; by seeking it out, he’s merely courting death. We’re just giving him a gentle push, sending him to Yama Hall."

Yan Yu smiled indifferently.

"I’m not worried about the treasures on the mountain. The prohibitions there, let alone the Array Masters of the Miracle Ridge today, even the Array Masters from Lingnan are at a loss."

Yejian Jun said lightly with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Yue immediately asked, "Saint Senior Brother, has there been news from Lingnan?"

Yejian Jun nodded and replied, "The Sect Leader Supreme told me to be patient. The Array Masters in Lingnan cannot break the prohibitions and advised me to guard Treasure Mountain well, then calculate the rest after the Sect Leader Supreme visits the East Continent!"

"Furthermore, what the Sect Leader Supreme values most is the Creation Divine Palace."

Yejian Jun stated indifferently.

"The Sect Leader Supreme..."

Upon hearing these words, both Chu Yue and Yan Yu immediately showed a hint of apprehension on their faces.

...

Lin Bai’s speed flashed, and he flew past Jin Liang, heading straight for Medicine Mountain.

"With so many Spiritual Medicines, my cultivation will definitely make a breakthrough."

Lin Bai immediately showed an ecstatic expression. He didn’t take the pursuit by Jin Liang and the others behind him to heart at all.

"Jin Liang, heh, thinking of setting a trap to kill me? Haven’t I, Lin Bai, faced many deadly traps on my way here?" Lin Bai sneered coldly: "On these Five Peaks, aside from Yejian Jun and the three Sect Leader Supremes taking action, it’s doubtful anyone else can kill me!"

Lin Bai’s demeanor was scornful as he rapidly advanced, executing the Nine Rotations Sword Steps to perfection.

Arriving at the foot of Medicine Mountain, Lin Bai saw a stone path leading up to the mountain peak, his face showing a trace of solemnity.

"Up the mountain!"

Without reducing his speed, Lin Bai took a step and set foot on the stone path.

Rustle rustle—

As Lin Bai’s footprint landed, a surge of Black Mist emerged on the stone path. An Illusory Shadow of a ferocious Demon Tiger with bared fangs and claws coalesced, violently striking down at Lin Bai!

Roar—

A terrifying force, as if shattering the Void, struck towards Lin Bai!

"Is this the guardian spirit of the Magic Circle that protects Treasure Mountain?"

Seeing the Demon Tiger, Lin Bai was immediately surprised.

The strength of the Demon Tiger was not apparent, but its tremendous power was closely approaching the Flying Sky Realm as soon as it took action!

Caught off guard, Lin Bai was directly struck down by the Demon Tiger, retreating from the stone path!

"Hmph, Lin Bai, you really think these two Treasure Mountains are so easy to ascend?" At this time, behind Lin Bai, a sneering voice sounded.

Lin Bai turned his head, laughed, and said, "Oh, it’s Wen Ye."

"Dog, if you’re not groveling at Yejian Jun’s feet, wagging your tail, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, did Yejian Jun let you out to bite people?"

Seeing Wen Ye, Lin Bai immediately sneered and said.

Wen Ye, upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, roared in anger, "Lin Bai, you’re still not begging for mercy even at death’s door. Open your damn eyes and see how many Great Perfection Warriors from the Heavenly Elixir Realm are here!"

Right at this moment, from beside Wen Ye, one after another, Warriors of various appearances came forth, men and women, young and old, each emanating terrifying fluctuations of power!

Following this, Jin Liang and six others also arrived!

Especially Jin Liang, who looked at Lin Bai with a cold gaze, eyes brimming with malice!

Lin Bai smirked, "Nearly thirty Great Perfection Warriors from the Heavenly Elixir Realm are here. It looks like Yejian Jun is really afraid of me, huh? Afraid that I will threaten his position as Saint in half a year’s time?"

"What a coward!"

Lin Bai scornfully jeered.

Wen Ye said coldly, "Lin Bai, stop your nonsense. With your pathetic existence, you dare to provoke the Saint Senior Brother, but you have to get past us first!"

"Let me tell you the truth, it’s not the Saint Senior Brother who instructed us to deal with you. We just think you’re not worthy to fight him, so we want to kill you and not dirty the Saint Senior Brother’s hands!"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "It seems you’ve done quite a few of these things, removing threats to Yejian Jun’s position as Saint behind the scenes?"

"No wonder over the past year, so many geniuses have emerged from the Five Peaks, either mysteriously dying or becoming followers of Yejian Jun. It looks like you, Wen Ye, deserve some credit for that."

Wen Ye sneered, "Hmph, Lin Bai, you can see this clearly, which means you’re not a complete idiot."

"But since you killed Ke Han, even if you now wished to follow the Saint Senior Brother, I’m afraid the Saint Senior Brother wouldn’t want you!"

"So, you’re bound to die today!"

Wen Ye said coldly.

Lin Bai scoffed, noncommittally.

At that moment, Jin Liang stepped forward and spoke indifferently, "There is one more thing you probably don’t know..."

Lin Bai looked at Jin Liang, smiled faintly, and said, "Ke Han was a man of the Heaven-reaching Eye!"

Jin Liang, upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, exclaimed, "You actually know!"

"But you don’t know that the Heaven-reaching Eye has always been the force of the Saint Senior Brother."

Lin Bai laughed, "I didn’t know before, but I do now."

"The Heaven-reaching Eye, created by Yejian Jun to find opportunities within the Red Immortal Sect for him. Honestly, I admire you. You found so many opportunities and gave them all to Yejian Jun!"

"Don’t you care about these treasures at all?"

"Even these two Treasure Mountains, you’ve given them to Yejian Jun!"

"Honestly, if I had found these two Treasure Mountains first, I wouldn’t have handed them over." Lin Bai said lightly.

Wen Ye sneered, "You don’t understand! The Saint Senior Brother is a Transcendent Martial Spirit, with limitless potential. If we follow him, all these treasures will eventually be ours!"

"Not just that, we will also gain endless opportunities, cultivation, power, wealth, beauties, and even... Under Heaven!"

"Blind worship really does kill," Lin Bai said with a sigh, shaking his head, "Since you’ve laid a trap today, do you really think you can kill me?"

Wen Ye sneered, "Do you think you can still escape today? Hahaha, Lin Bai, stop dreaming, you’re bound to die today!"

Lin Bai sneered, "Who said... I was going to run?"
