Chapter 33: Maebashi Castle
Four months later, Gimcheon ...... No, it's Lin Quan now. As a casual cultivator, he made his way to a dense tree outside Maebashi Castle.
Qianqiao City is a remote town in the westernmost part of the Great Zhou Kingdom, because there are no spiritual veins here, so Qianqiao City is a mortal city where immortal cultivators are basically extinct. Lin Quan came here for only one purpose, the last bandit leader who caused the Lin family's annihilation tragedy was living in seclusion here.
After killing Jin Ming that day, Lin Quan first looked for a place to heal his wounds for several days, and then went to Jinjia Village.
After he settled these things, he wandered all the way, looking for his own background. According to Jin Ming's words and the family heirloom, Lin Quan easily found the original location of the Lin family. After using a little bit of immortal cultivator's methods, he found out the whole truth of the Lin family's murder tragedy sixteen years ago from the local government.
'Xunfeng Thieves', this is a medium-sized gang of thieves who specialize in roaming around the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Lin family's extermination of the door sixteen years ago was committed by them. After learning the truth, Lin Quan ran through five mortal cities in a row in the next few months, and finally killed all the members of the 'Xunfeng Thieves' who participated in the Lin family's extermination case, except for the most cunning bandits.
Today, Lin Quan is already a fifth-level cultivator. Even he himself didn't know why, this time it was not the wood-based exercises that he was best at breaking through, but the fire-based exercises that came from behind. However, Lin Quan didn't care too much about this, as long as his strength improved, it was always good.
"Xunfeng carved Yan Lie, no matter how cunning you are like a fox, don't try to escape from my palm!" Lin Quan casually put away Yan Lie's portrait and meditated cross-legged by a big tree. The long-distance journey for several months in a row was also a big burden for an immortal cultivator who did not have a substitute for a walking device.
A mortal martial artist would not have attracted his attention yet, and what Lin Quan was really worried about was those scum in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless lone immortal cultivators and low-strength casual cultivators who disappear every year for no reason. Lin Quan didn't want to be plotted by those scum because of an accident. What's more, Lin Quan still has a 'case record' in his body, and he must ensure that his spiritual power is abundant at any time to deal with the law enforcement disciples that may appear in the Su family.
After a meal, Lin Quan, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned slightly and turned his head to look in the direction of the official road on the side. At this time, a rush of footsteps was approaching in the direction where Lin Quan was, and from time to time there were one or two terrible screams before death and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Lin Quan didn't have the idea of intervening in this kind of commonplace vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but he jumped onto one of the most lush trees nearby after he took a slight breath, and then tried his best to restrain the aura of his whole body and hide it in the lush branches and leaves.
There are many unwritten rules in the world of cultivating immortals. One of them is that immortal cultivators cannot intervene in the battle of mortals for no reason. The monk's ability is too strong compared to mortals, and even a monk in the early stage of condensation is not something that the top martial artists among mortals can resist.
What's more, Lin Quan has already been numb to this road. There are fierce fights and martial arts vendettas in the mortal world every day, and these are similar to the weak and the strong in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no absolute right or wrong, after all, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back. Therefore, every time he encounters this situation, Lin Quan chooses to silently watch coldly, and while gaining some experience, it can also be regarded as a kind of immortal cultivation experience.
Of course, Lin Quan was not born with a cold-hearted and cold-blooded heart. While he understands life, if he really encounters a murderer who wantonly kills innocents and bullies the elderly, weak, women and children, he will also take a single shot.
After a while, the two sides who were chasing and fleeing had already come to the front.
The fleeing side was led by a graceful girl in white, followed by several strong men with strong martial arts. The next party was just a young man in an aqua blue robe. At first, Lin Quan didn't care too much, but when he saw the young man in the aqua blue robe, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the qi collection technique was used to the extreme.
"Hehe, Miss Zhang. Although your Zhang family can dominate Qianqiao City, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of your deity with your little strength. The first few times the Yan Gang Master missed, but now that the deity has come in person, do you think you can still run? A light and arrogant voice came from afar.
"What kind of gang leader, Yan Lie's dog head is just a notorious thief!" A middle-aged man beside the girl in white answered hatefully, looking at his expression, he seemed to hate that Yan gang leader to the core.
"Hmph, ants are looking for death!"
As soon as the words fell, a faint blue cold light flashed along with the arrogant voice, and the middle-aged man immediately screamed and covered his chest and fell down.
This change was fleeting, and Lin Quan, who was beyond the reach of the whip, did not have time to come to the rescue.
"Uncle Zhang!"
After hearing the screams of the faithful servant who took the initiative to stay behind, the white-shirted girl who ran at the front suddenly let out an exclamation and stopped. But Uncle Zhang, who fell to the ground, had already swallowed his last breath.
She turned back with a sad face and said, "Okay, this Immortal Master, although the little woman is not your opponent, I will never be restrained. Today, as long as you can defeat me face to face, I will go with you. However, the Zhang family behind me are all innocent, no matter whether you lose or lose today, I hope you can let them go. Otherwise, I'd rather kill myself!"
"Miss, you must not. One of the most powerful men beside the girl suddenly persuaded anxiously.
"yes. Miss, you go first, and leave this unruly immortal cultivator scum to us......"
Several other guards also stood beside the girl with a look of jepdy. It can be seen that these bloody men are all people who sincerely protect the Lord, because their eyes are full of death at this time.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
With three soft slaps, the young man in the aqua blue robe slowly stepped forward.
"Not bad, not bad. Miss Zhang is worthy of being a well-known chivalrous woman, and sure enough, she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go! Okay, the deity can agree to your request to let those ants go. ”
"Miss, no. Please, run away, let your subordinates drag that devil to the death! Otherwise, even if your subordinates survive, they will have no face to see their master again. The big man with the strongest breath suddenly took a step forward and blocked the girl with a horizontal knife, his eyes were completely red.
Miss Zhang shook her head with a determined look on her face and said, "No! Zhang Hu, you don't understand. The strength of the immortal cultivator is not something that mortals like me can deal with, although I don't know why they suddenly broke the rules of the immortal cultivation world, but it seems that he didn't want to take my life immediately. So I hope you will live to go back and tell my dad about them. ”
"Miss......"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything more!" Miss Zhang glared at Zhang Hu fiercely, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Hu, who had watched her grow up since she was a child, knew that it was useless to persuade her, and at the same time, he had already understood the hidden meaning, so he had to tearfully stretch out his arms to block the rest of the guards, and slowly retreated.
"Okay, Zhang Hu, they have already retreated. I hope that the Immortal Master will keep your promise. Look at the sword!"
After getting the promise of the immortal master opposite, this Miss Zhang seemed to have let go of a concern in her heart, and then after a coquettish sound, she stabbed straight away with a sword without returning.
Lin Quan, who was on top of the big tree, couldn't help but pout helplessly when he saw this Miss Zhang before she could speak before she had a sword when there was such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Lin Quan has always been dismissive of the stupid martial spirit she followed, both sides are already undying enemies, and at this time, only by killing the opponent as much as possible can he survive. If it were Lin Quan, he would definitely be able to sneak attack, and he would never want to spend more effort to fight head-on.
