The moment Lin Tian’s head shattered, his primordial spirit rushed out, attempting to flee the scene.
However, Ye Qiu had already resolved to kill him, so how could he let him escape?
“Boom!”
The God-Beating Whip swung out, striking Lin Tian’s primordial spirit directly.
Pfft!
Lin Tian’s primordial spirit shattered, and he was utterly destroyed.
Ye Qiu, holding the God-Beating Whip, was bathed in golden light, resembling an invincible war god.
“Little brat, awesome!”
The Long Brow Immortal shouted, then swiftly rushed forward, grabbing the Yin Yang Holy Sword.
“Heh heh, this sword finally belongs to this poor Daoist.”
After speaking, the Long Brow Immortal quickly performed a blood-binding ritual to claim ownership.
Instantly, he felt a mysterious connection form between himself and the Yin Yang Holy Sword. With a thought, the sword unsheathed, hovering before him, emitting a joyful sword hum.
The Long Brow Immortal grinned so widely his mouth nearly twisted, after all, this was a holy artefact.
At this moment, Ye Qiu walked to Lin Tian’s corpse and removed a spatial ring from his finger.
“Yue’er, this is for you.”
Ye Qiu was generous, tossing the spatial ring to Bai Hua Fairy, as he already had the Qian Kun Pouch and didn’t need another spatial treasure.
Bai Hua Fairy didn’t hesitate, performing the blood-binding ritual, then said, “Lin Tian’s spatial ring contains some spiritual herbs and twenty thousand spirit stones, but nothing else.”
Ye Qiu was surprised, “No way, the Holy Son of the Yin Yang Sect is that poor?”
Bai Hua Fairy rolled her eyes and said, “Lin Tian wasn’t poor at all. The Yin Yang Holy Sword is a holy artefact, and the black-and-white gourd that was shattered by the Qian Kun Cauldron was also extraordinary. As for spirit stones and herbs, Lin Tian didn’t care for them. With his status, if he wanted spirit stones or herbs, he only needed to ask, and the Yin Yang Sect would provide as much as he desired.”
“For a top-tier sect, to remain prosperous forever, the most important thing is to have successors.”
“Every divine son, divine daughter, holy son, and holy daughter is a key cultivation target for the sect. They never lack resources.”
The Long Brow Immortal sighed, “Isn’t that just like sitting in the shade of a big tree?”
“Little brat, why don’t you join a top-tier sect too?”
“With your talent, it wouldn’t take long for you to become a holy son. Then you’d have everything you want. How great would that be?”
Ye Qiu said, “Once you join a sect, you’re bound by all sorts of rules. I’m not interested.”
“Earlier, Lin Tian said Dragon Bodhisattva is already dead. Now, I just need to find my father, then help Yue’er find out who destroyed the Hundred Flowers Palace. After resolving these two matters, I’ll figure out a way to return to the secular world.”
“Oh, and by the way, I need to find out where Hu Zi is. That kid’s gone off somewhere.”
Bai Hua Fairy said, “This place isn’t safe to linger in. Let’s leave first.”
Lü Luo added, “According to Lin Tian, disciples from several major sects have entered. We should be cautious when heading out.”
“Let’s go!” Ye Qiu said and started walking.
The group left Purple Mountain.
Outside Purple Mountain, the Long Brow Immortal asked, “Little brat, how do we get out? Do we retrace our steps, or find a new path?”
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said, “Taking a new path might bring unknown dangers and variables, plus it would waste time. I think retracing our steps is better.”
Bai Hua Fairy agreed with Ye Qiu’s suggestion, saying, “I also think retracing our steps is the safest. We’ve been through it once and know the route well.”
The Long Brow Immortal said, “If we retrace our steps, we’re very likely to run into disciples from the major sects.”
Ye Qiu said, “We’ll just be careful and avoid them as much as possible to prevent any conflicts.”
Lü Luo said, “Even if we encounter them, it’s fine. Didn’t Lin Tian say the others from the sects weren’t his match? And in the end, wasn’t he killed by Young Master Ye? With Young Master Ye here, what do we have to fear?”
“Miss Lü Luo is right. With the little brat, we don’t need to fear them,” the Long Brow Immortal laughed, “Let’s go!”
The group set off, retracing their steps from Purple Mountain.
Though they weren’t afraid of the disciples from the major sects, they remained cautious to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As they walked, the Long Brow Immortal frowned, “Strange, how come we haven’t seen anyone from the major sects yet? Was Lin Tian lying to me earlier?”
Ye Qiu said, “You were impersonating the Tian Feng Elder back then. How would Lin Tian dare lie to you?”
The Long Brow Immortal said, “Then why haven’t we seen anyone from the major sects?”
Ye Qiu said, “Maybe they’re just ahead.”
The group continued walking.
As they neared the peach grove, suddenly, earth-shaking battle cries rang out.
Ye Qiu immediately stopped, listening carefully, and said, “There’s quite a commotion ahead. Could it be that the major sects are clashing?”
“Let’s take a look,” the Long Brow Immortal grinned, “Best case, they all kill each other off, and we can scavenge their treasures.”
Greedy fool.
Ye Qiu glanced at the Long Brow Immortal, then led the group cautiously towards the peach grove.
They hid in a secluded corner to observe.
In the peach grove, a chaotic battle had erupted, with various divine lights flashing and battle cries shaking the heavens.
From a distance, Ye Qiu’s attention was drawn to a masked woman in an ice-blue long dress.
He recognised her at once as someone from the Qing Yun Sword Sect, as he and the Long Brow Immortal had clearly seen this woman standing behind the Wine Sword Immortal while hiding in the tomb.
“She must be Yun Xi,” Ye Qiu thought.
He looked again and saw that Yun Xi was being besieged by three men and one woman, each in different attire, clearly from different sects.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the disciples from the various major sects were all teaming up to attack the Qing Yun Sword Sect’s disciples.
Many of the Qing Yun Sword Sect’s disciples had already fallen, lying in pools of blood.
“Strange, why are the major sects ganging up on the Qing Yun Sword Sect?”
Ye Qiu’s eyes filled with confusion.
…
At the same time, outside the Saint’s Tomb, the Wine Sword Immortal and the Sixth Elder had already exchanged over a thousand blows. Both were severely injured, and their battle had reached a fever pitch.
“Boom!”
The two charged at each other, colliding fiercely with a terrifying force.
“Bang!”
The Sixth Elder and the Wine Sword Immortal were both sent flying, crashing ten thousand metres away, shattering several glaciers.
“Pfft!”
After landing, both spat out streams of blood.
At that moment, the Sixth Elder suddenly noticed his communication jade slip trembling in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out and saw a line of text displayed on it.
“Yin Hua Granny’s life lamp has gone out.”
His junior sister was dead?
The Sixth Elder was stunned, thinking, Yin Hua Granny had gone to pursue that Golden Core cultivator. How could she be dead?
As the Sixth Elder was puzzling over this, another line of text suddenly appeared on the communication jade slip.
“Lin Tian’s life lamp has gone out!”
