“Senior, you should recognize these three items, right?”
Ye Lin took out the three jade talismans that the three Immortal Masters had given him from his space ring and waved them in front of Immortal Master Hong Yan.
Upon seeing the three jade talismans, Immortal Master Hong Yan’s expression changed drastically.
He recognized these three jade talismans; they belonged to the three top Immortal Masters of Tianhe County’s foremost power.
They were not easily given to others; once given, it meant that these three owed the person holding the jade talisman a favor.
One must know, these three were Nascent Soul Realm Peak Immortal Masters, and he had only just reached the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage after living for over twenty thousand years.
Forget three, just one could easily crush him.
What he never expected was that three people at the Peak of Tianhe County actually owed a Nascent Soul Stage Junior a favor at the same time.
“Junior, this matter can be discussed further. If you want resources, I have plenty to give you, consider it buying his life.”
At this point, Immortal Master Hong Yan’s tone became much more polite.
There was no other way; he didn't dare to kill, and he couldn't win by force.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was the first time he felt so powerless.
“Senior, please retreat. Otherwise, what I want will be more than just Li Shengli’s life.”
Ye Lin’s tone carried a hint of Killing Intent.
If this old man remained stubborn, he would have to kill an Immortal Master today.
Hearing Ye Lin’s words, Immortal Master Hong Yan’s face turned ashen.
He never expected, never expected, that he, a dignified Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master, would be threatened by a Junior.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you immediately right now?”
“If you kill me immediately, then your Li family will be implicated because of you alone. I believe that your Li family will not fare well then, and you, too, will surely die.”
For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
And in the distance, Zhang Zhidao, who witnessed everything, was trembling.
What did he see? A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator forcing a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master into helplessness.
This kind of thing was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
After all, a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master, in his eyes, was a legendary figure.
Even at its Peak, the Slashing Immortal Sect only had one Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master overseeing it.
“Good, good, good. Junior, I hope you don’t regret this. Nameless Mountain isn’t that easy to stay in. I’ll wait for you.”
Immortal Master Hong Yan finished speaking, flicking his sleeves.
“Grandpa, what are you doing?”
Li Shengli, who was healing, completely panicked. The situation seemed a bit abnormal.
“Scram.”
Immortal Master Hong Yan finished speaking, tore through space, stepped inside, and vanished.
Seeing Immortal Master Hong Yan leave, Ye Lin let out a long breath.
It was too risky just now. If Immortal Master Hong Yan had truly disregarded everything and wanted to kill him, he might have truly stopped there.
Fortunately, he gambled correctly: the higher the Cultivation, the more one feared death.
After all, after a lifetime of Cultivation, experiencing various life-and-death situations and struggling along the way, it was not easy to become a top Cultivator. Who would want to die?
“Ye Lin, spare me, I was wrong, Ye Lin, spare me.”
Seeing his grandfather abandon him, Li Shengli completely panicked, kneeling before Ye Lin and kowtowing repeatedly.
He hadn't lived enough; he hadn't experienced the ultimate joy in this world yet.
The next moment, a sword light flashed, Li Shengli’s eyes widened, and his body collapsed to the ground, blood slowly flowing out.
And around the previously barren ground, many plants suddenly appeared. These plants were rapidly growing after absorbing Li Shengli’s blood.
A Cultivator’s blood is a natural tonic; even a single drop of a Great Ascension Stage Half-Immortal’s fresh blood has the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.
One drop of blood could pull you back from the gates of hell.
“Sect Leader Zhang, how about it? Now you should fulfill your promise, right?”
At this moment, Ye Lin turned and looked at Zhang Zhidao with a smile.
Zhang Zhidao nodded woodenly, then walked towards the Sect, with Ye Lin following behind him.
He swore that the scene he had just witnessed, he could truly brag about for a lifetime.
...
“Sect Leader Zhang, do I look like someone so easy to fool? I’m talking about your Slashing Immortal Sect’s true treasury. I hope you don’t treat me like an idiot.”
Ye Lin looked at the treasury before him and threatened Zhang Zhidao, who was standing beside him.
The treasury before him contained only some junk; besides a few hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, he couldn't even be bothered to look at the rest.
If it were an ordinary Golden Core Stage Sect, it would indeed be very normal, but for the Slashing Immortal Sect, that was abnormal.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhidao’s expression changed.
“This is indeed my Slashing Immortal Sect’s treasury. What does Senior mean?”
“Sect Leader Zhang, I am speaking to you very politely right now. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to slaughter your Slashing Immortal Sect?”
As Ye Lin finished speaking, the surrounding walls began to crack under the immense pressure.
And Zhang Zhidao knelt on one knee, trembling all over.
“Senior, please spare me, I will take Senior there now.”
Zhang Zhidao said with difficulty, and only then did Ye Lin nod and retract his coercion.
Zhang Zhidao let out a sigh of relief, then slowly stood up and silently walked towards an unknown place.
Ye Lin followed behind him, walking through long corridors until they arrived before an unknown metal door.
Zhang Zhidao glanced at Ye Lin, then his hands began to quickly form hand seals.
Ye Lin placed his hand on the large metal door, and instantly, a huge force came, causing Ye Lin to retreat three steps.
“A Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master’s Restriction?”
Ye Lin’s expression was solemn. He never expected that this ordinary-looking large door actually had a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Master’s Restriction.
Moreover, the person who set up the Restriction had to be at least at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak.
After Zhang Zhidao finished forming his hand seals, the metal door before them slowly began to open.
Inside was a small cave, five meters long and five meters wide. The stone walls of the cave were carved with runes; these were all Restrictions.
And in the very center, there were five wooden boxes, each sealed with a Restriction.
“Senior, this is my Slashing Immortal Sect’s treasury. According to our previous wager, Senior can choose one item to take away.”
“Inside these five wooden boxes are five peerless secret treasures. As for what they are, I apologize, Junior cannot disclose. Please choose quickly, Senior.”
Zhang Zhidao finished speaking and stood aside, saying nothing more.
Watching Ye Lin circle the five wooden boxes, Zhang Zhidao’s heart was bleeding.
He now regretted it immensely. If he had known this would happen today, why did he do it in the first place?
Why did he agree to Ye Lin’s request back then? Ultimately, he was just too foolish.
Ye Lin looked at the five wooden boxes before him. Clearly, he wanted to take them all.
His intuition told him that the items inside these five wooden boxes were not simple.
“Sect Leader Zhang, I’m interested in all five of these wooden boxes. It’s so hard to choose. How about Sect Leader Zhang just gives them all to me?”
Ye Lin glanced at Zhang Zhidao beside him and said to himself.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhidao’s expression changed drastically. This Ye Lin was not playing fair; he actually wanted to seize everything.
“Senior, this place has a Formation set up by my Slashing Immortal Sect’s Ancestral Master. Although it has been dormant for many years, its Nascent Soul Realm power can still barely be achieved.”
“If I personally control it, I can trap Senior here. Please abide by the wager, Senior.”
“Don’t make things difficult for me.”
Zhang Zhidao said with a solemn expression.
