Chapter 286: Chapter 223: Whirlwind (6)

"After seven consecutive sword fights, it was seven successive losses. That demon’s swordsmanship had reached the Sword Dao Saint Realm, and I fear at that time, throughout the entire land, not a soul could surpass him in the way of the Sword Dao," said Bai Yiyi.

"Only in the last fight did the eldest senior brother personally take action, borrowing the might of the sect’s Mountain Guardian Sword to barely repel the opponent."

"Who would have known that the demon, harboring a grudge, stole the lifebound flying swords and treasured collections from the sect leader’s tomb a year later, among which was this treasured manuscript of the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’."

The Emei Sect Leader stared at the screen displaying Lin Xing and said coldly, "This Lin Xing must be related to that great demon."

Tianfeng Taoist’s gaze shifted, thinking of the lifebound flying swords and treasured collections of past sect leaders, his heart couldn’t help but stir slightly.

He quickly said, "I will immediately go and capture him!"

But the Emei Sect Leader waved her hand to stop him, "The gathering of the two realms is a consensus among the sects, don’t startle the snake by hitting the grass, creating unnecessary complications."

"I called you here to help me investigate the current whereabouts of this Lin Xing."

"I will personally go find him... and have a talk."

Upon hearing this, a surge of shock passed through Tianfeng Taoist’s heart.

He was well aware that the sect leader often secluded herself in meditation on Emei Mountain and had not taken real action in a long while.

That she would take the initiative to strike this time, as an honor of a third-generation expert, showed how seriously she took this matter.

Tianfeng Taoist promptly nodded and said, "I understand, Sect Leader. I will go and gather information right now."

...

Meanwhile, at another martial arts demonstration site.

Lin Xing, Bai Yiyi, and Tianlian were on their way to the southeast at great speed.

Taking Bai Yiyi with him to the dragon leyline was Lin Xing’s request.

After all, not only could Bai Yiyi assist him with reversing time, but she was also an excellent refining subject for the Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique. Lin Xing felt his combat power would significantly increase with Bai Yiyi by his side.

Bai Yiyi thought to herself while looking at Lin Xing’s back, "After all, the opponent is from Shi Lin Temple; Lin Xing must not feel at ease without me, his master, backing him up."

As Master Bai thought this, she saw a door mounted onto a tree hollow not far ahead.

After the three reached the tree hollow, they saw Tianlian take out a phone and check the time, "In about half an hour, someone will open the Immortal Gate on the other side; let’s wait for a bit."

Half an hour later, the trio passed through the tree hollow in front of them and, in the blink of an eye, had already arrived in another vast world.

What appeared before their eyes was a verdant valley filled with birdsong and floral fragrances.

With the gentle breeze, clouds of mist surged through the valley, bringing waves of fresh air that made one feel as if they had entered a realm of immortals.

Especially Lin Xing, who observed the undulating landscape using the dragon leyline prospecting method from the "Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique," could sense the overflowing spiritual ingenuity within the mountains, which faintly contained various characteristics of the dragon leylines.

By the side of the tree hollow gateway, a monk was already waiting, clearly the one who had opened the Immortal Gate here.

The monk said to Tianlian, "Uncle Master, Master and the others are waiting for you up ahead."

Tianlian nodded, and said to Lin Xing standing beside him, "This is the rear mountain of Shi Lin Temple, the dragon leyline is right ahead, let’s go."

Thus, the group of three swiftly proceeded along the mountain path.

They had just walked a few hundred meters when suddenly, a burst of wild laughter reached Lin Xing’s ears.

He extended his spiritual sense and immediately saw a raggedly dressed youth laughing maniacally in front of a skeleton, "This Thunder Sound Mountain truly is a place of fortuitous encounters. I have only jumped off the cliff three times, and I’ve already found an ancestor’s legacy and picked up a secret manual of divine techniques. It seems I am the true child of destiny!"

Seeing this person’s behavior, a strange expression flickered across Lin Xing’s face.

Beside him, Tianlian explained, "After all, it is where the dragon vein lies. Fortune is deeply hidden, and over time, people will always come to try their luck."

After walking a few hundred meters more, Lin Xing’s spiritual sense detected a bald, muscular man digging up a grave mound, while a young man stood by watching him.

The bald man extracted a box from the grave, which contained a secret manual.

"This is the inheritance left by a Fifth Generation Immortal," the bald man exclaimed with surprise and delight as he flipped through the manual. His expression then grew solemn, "Alas," the manual actually started from the first generation, and the first generation’s legacy required choosing the path of a foot soldier. What a pity, I have already become a novice monk."

He turned his head to the young man beside him and said, "This manual is worth a fortune. If you are willing to pay one thousand taels of silver, then I would painfully part with it."

Witnessing the transaction taking place within his spiritual sense, Lin Xing wondered, "A manual from a Fifth Generation Immortal?"

He also observed the content of the manual with his spiritual sense and felt it was nothing more than an ordinary Buddhist scripture.

Tianlian commented with a light chuckle, "Villagers in the mountains treat anything they pick up as a treasure. Don’t mind them."

As they continued on their way, Lin Xing saw an old man selling thousand-year wild ginseng, a hunter who picked up an egg of a ten-thousand-year Divine Beast, and a youth who had obtained an ancestor’s Sumeru Storage Ring...

But as Lin Xing observed with his spiritual sense, it seemed that the objects they found were not genuine treasures.

Tianlian explained with a sigh, "Recently, I don’t know who spread the rumor that there are fortunes to be found throughout this back mountain, attracting many odd people here."

At that moment, Lin Xing saw several Buddha Towers standing tall ahead.

Over a dozen strong men were carrying tools, knocking around the base of those Buddha Towers, as if intending to dig them all up.

Tianlian lamented, "I never would have thought people would set their sights on the Buddha Towers."

Upon seeing Tianlian and Lin Xing, the dozen or so men roared in anger and drew their swords to attack.

"They are nuns from Shi Lin Temple!"

"Cut them all down."

"Don’t let a single one escape."

Watching the men with murderous expressions charging towards him, aiming for his vital areas with their swords, Lin Xing’s brows slightly furrowed.

Sword Intent surged, and streaks of sword light flashed by the knees of the men, and those who had come at him with swords were already screaming as they fell to the ground.

Seeing Lin Xing disabling their knees in a single move, the men looked at him with faces full of terror.

Lin Xing coldly stared at the men holding their knees on the ground and asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking the Buddha Towers..."

But before he could finish speaking, he abruptly turned his head, incredulously looking at Tianlian who lay in a pool of blood.

"You..."

Elsewhere, Bai Yiyi opened and closed her mouth in shock, unable to believe that Tianlian from Shi Lin Temple could be so easily stabbed to death by an ordinary brute of a bandit.

Although Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi had just seen the men charging towards Tianlian, they never imagined that such a powerful member of one of the nine major sects would need their help.

Even when the sword was plunged into Tianlian’s chest, Bai Yiyi still thought there should be a sleight of hand at play.

Not until Tianlian completely passed away in their perception did Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi confirm that he was truly dead, killed so simply, so effortlessly.
