Chapter 219 – Two Months
Wang Lin wasn’t as cruel as he had claimed to be to Li Muwan, but his avatar had yet to reach the Nascent Soul stage. If he were to engage Li Muwan now, it would cause an inevitable change in his original plan, a change that could have serious consequences.
As a result, Li Muwan might also be dragged in and that was not something Wang Lin wanted to see.
He sighed. His mood began to fluctuate, and he couldn’t calm down. He left the south courtyard with mixed feelings.
He calculated that there was less than half of the 15 minutes left, so he had to act quickly. His body suddenly moved like lightning and he soon arrived outside the west courtyard.
After Wang Lin arrived, he didn’t immediately enter. Instead, he quickly circled the western courtyard and set up a restriction. He then quickly entered the courtyard. With his powerful divine sense, none of the patrolling disciples were able to detect him. All the cranes landed and refused to fly away, no matter how hard the girls on their backs urged them to.
Wang Lin’s figure moved quickly through the fog and entered the western courtyard.
From the outside, this place looks like a fairy tale, but inside, it’s even more so. The level of grandeur of the buildings here is several times greater than the buildings outside.
A rainbow-colored beam of light came from the depths of the courtyard, acting like a bridge as all the girls in the western courtyard floated past.
Unfortunately, all the cranes were lying on the ground, trembling, so this place lost its beautiful scenery.
Following the path Cheng Xian had described, Wang Lin quickly walked through the courtyard and arrived at Gongsun Tong’s room in the western part of the courtyard. He spread out his divine sense and discovered a very strange scene.
He frowned slightly, then leaped into the air and arrived inside the room. There was a screen on one side of the room, and behind it were two beautiful figures bathing.
Looking through the screen, the two women had incredibly beautiful curves as they touched each other’s bodies. Soon, their bodies were embracing each other as they began to move.
At the same time, a groan came from behind the screen.
Under Wang Lin’s divine sense, the two girls’ actions were clearly visible. At this moment, the panting girl said, “Big Brother Tong, that Cheng Xian… ah!” Just as she spoke, the other girl moved, touching a sensitive spot.
After a long time, a lazy and gentle voice sounded from behind the screen and said, “Ling Er, are you still worried about that Cheng Xian? Yes, I tricked him, but it was all because you lacked the core for your pill recipe. I was only after his spirit monkey.”
“But… what about Lu Song?” The girl called Ling Er was Cheng Ling.
“Trust me. When Lu Song comes tomorrow, I’ll deal with him. I promise there won’t be any problems. That Lu Song… at most, I’ll let him have a little taste. Ling Er, big sister has served you well. Now it’s your turn.”
Wang Lin didn’t go inside, but pointed to his brow. Xu Liguo emerged from Wang Lin’s brow. He stared at the screen with a look of excitement in his eyes.
“I don’t care how you deal with it, just find out what happened to the spirit monkey and take both of their souls.” Wang Lin turned around and slowly walked out of the room.
Xu Liguo had never been this excited before. He felt that following Wang Lin was the right thing to do. At this moment, he felt his blood boil even though he didn’t have any blood after becoming a demon.
But that didn’t affect his feelings.
Xu Liguo smiled slyly and walked past the screen.
Not long after, he came out with a very satisfied face. He vomited out two souls, then returned to Wang Lin’s forehead.
At the same time, he sent a message: “The spirit monkey is dead.”
Wang Lin waved his hand, and a soul flag appeared. He threw the two souls into the flag and then entered the room. He put the two girls’ bodies into his bag and left the room.
By then, 15 minutes had passed. Wang Lin summoned the prohibition flag again. The flag turned into black mist and quickly left the southern courtyard.
At the same time, a furious roar erupted from the Nascent Soul cultivator. He spread out his divine sense, locked onto the western courtyard, and swiftly charged towards it.
Soon, a powerful divine aura spread out from the western courtyard. After discovering Wang Lin, a woman came from the center of the courtyard.
Without a word, Wang Lin turned to leave.
This woman’s body was shrouded in mist, hiding her appearance. The moment she appeared, her body moved like lightning, following Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s expression was calm. Seeing the woman getting closer, he smiled coldly. He waved his hand and sent a wave of restrictive aura toward the woman.
“You have no idea!” The woman snorted coldly. She waved her hand, and a flower basket appeared in her grasp. As she waved it, numerous colorful flower petals appeared. Each petal carried a destructive force as they floated toward the barrier.
This woman’s cultivation level was at the early stage of Nascent Soul. Although Wang Lin’s expression was calm, he sneered in his heart. As the circle of restrictions approached the flower petals, they immediately shattered into many smaller restrictions and spread out. Although some were destroyed by the petals, many transformed into circles of restrictions after passing through the petals.
Their speed was extremely high. As they formed a circle, they landed in the west courtyard.
Wang Lin already knew that the entire western courtyard was being lifted into the air by a giant barrier. If Wang Lin had the time, he would be able to completely destroy this barrier. However, Wang Lin’s goal wasn’t to destroy the barrier, but to knock it off balance.
Normally, ordinary restrictions wouldn’t even be able to do that, but Wang Lin’s restriction was an ancient one. Combined with the fact that he had placed several restrictions beforehand, the moment the restriction circle landed, tremors spread throughout the entire western courtyard.
The huge barrier instantly lost its balance, causing the west courtyard to tilt to the side. A wave of screams came from the west courtyard, and a large number of female cultivators flew out with terrified expressions in their eyes.
While Wang Lin was doing all this, he never stopped and quickly flew into the distance. The woman chasing him gritted her teeth. She stopped chasing Wang Lin and quickly returned to the large barrier to reinforce it.
Wang Lin left the western courtyard without any obstacles. However, he knew that soon, the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Cloud Sky Sect would arrive.
Just at that moment, a powerful divine sense came from afar. As the divine sense passed by Wang Lin, it let out a cold snort. Wang Lin remained calm. If it were anyone else, their soul would have been injured, but Wang Lin’s soul was extremely powerful. If his soul left his body, it wouldn’t be any weaker than the souls of Spirit Severing cultivators. Although his soul was currently trapped inside his body and couldn’t leave, how could it possibly be damaged by a Nascent Soul cultivator?
His body basically didn’t stop at all as he continued moving forward.
The owner of the divine sense was stunned, but quickly locked onto Wang Lin as Wang Lin’s main body closed in.
A black shadow quickly arrived and landed in Wang Lin’s hand. This black shadow was the restriction flag, and behind it was the angry Nascent Soul cultivator Wang Lin had trapped.
After the prohibition flag landed in his hand, Wang Lin smiled coldly. He landed on the ground and turned around. Instantly, a prohibition appeared under his feet, and his body disappeared without a trace.
Even the divine senses that were locked onto him lost track of him.
Wang Lin’s main body had returned to the cave outside the sect, and the cave was filled with restrictions that blocked divine sense.
Meanwhile, in Wang Lin’s courtyard, his avatar emerged from the prohibition circle in the room. He quickly cleaned himself up and sat down to cultivate.
This matter was considered settled. Over the next half month, the story of Wang Lin’s main body spread throughout the sect. Various versions could be found everywhere.
It had to be said that this was something that hadn’t happened in the Sky Cloud Sect for a long time. The person had entered the sect in broad daylight, killed someone, and then disappeared before their eyes. It was like a slap in the face to the Sky Cloud Sect.
This even alarmed some of the Nascent Soul ancestors who were preparing to deal with the Spirit Severing. They went out to investigate and discovered that the two people killed were Gongsun Tong and Cheng Ling.
Everyone who had contact with them, such as Cheng Xian and Lu Song, was questioned. Even Wang Lin was questioned. In the end, a Nascent Soul cultivator even used his divine sense to check if Wang Lin was lying. However, because Wang Lin’s soul was much larger than that Nascent Soul cultivator’s, he couldn’t find anything.
For some unknown reason, this issue was left unaddressed.
As for Li Muwan, she wasn’t dragged into any of this. This was all her senior brother’s doing. His schemes were extremely deep. She knew that the person responsible was Li Muwan’s friend. That person’s techniques terrified her greatly. Even three Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t stop that person from entering and leaving the Cloud Sky Sect as he pleased. As a result, how could she dare to say anything? If she did, that person would appear unnoticed and kill her.
Wang Lin’s life was peaceful again, but in his mind, Li Muwan’s sad smile kept appearing. Every time he saw that sad smile, his heart felt like it was pierced.
This feeling reached its limit when the Heavenly Cloud Sect announced to the entire country of Chu that one of the three rank 5 alchemists, Li Muwan, would form a cultivation pair with the son of the outer sect elder Sun, Sun Zhanwei, in two months.
Wang Lin sat quietly in the room. After a day of thinking, he sighed and revealed a determined look in his eyes. A cold light flashed across his eyes as he rose and walked toward the southern courtyard.
The entire path was bumpy, blocked by white fog. However, after she mentioned her name, someone went to inform Li Muwan, and a path opened up.
Wang Lin walked forward slowly. Although his steps were slow, there was a sense of determination in every step.
After arriving outside Li Muwan’s house, Li Muwan’s voice rang out, “Your teacher’s closed-door training is almost over. If you have any questions, you can ask him once he comes out. From now on, unless I call for you, don’t come here again.”
Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then said slowly, “I want a pill. A pill that can raise my cultivation level to Nascent Soul in two months.”
Li Muwan was shocked. She stood up, opened the door, and looked at Wang Lin. She asked in a trembling voice, “Who…who are you?”
Wang Lin showed a gentle expression, which was a rare sight. However, that trace of gentleness was replaced by calmness as he asked, “Is there such a pill?”
Li Muwan bit her lower lip. Her eyes revealed an unprecedented happiness as she stared at Wang Lin. She still had a feeling of uncertainty in her heart, but soon, her expression suddenly changed as her eyes turned cold. She shouted, “Who exactly are you?”
Li Muwan immediately remembered that the drop of blood on her brow hadn’t reacted. Clearly, this person wasn’t the one she had in mind. Slowly, her hatred for that person grew and was directed back at Wang Lin, who sounded almost exactly like that person.
Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan and sighed. He reached into his storage bag and took out a piece of jade. After looking at it for a moment, he tossed it to Li Muwan.
The moment the jade appeared, Li Muwan’s entire body went soft. After catching the jade, she leaned against the wall, tears of joy streaming down her face.
“Killing Sun Zhanwei is easy, but I’ll have to wait until my cultivation level is high enough to ensure no one in the Heavenly Cloud Sect dares to speak out. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can take you anywhere in the entire State of Chu, and no one will dare to stand in my way.” Wang Lin’s voice was flat, but his words were filled with arrogance.
