Chapter 202 – Completely Destroyed
Wang Lin’s gaze was cold. He glanced at Qian Kun and asked, “Is your teacher Hunchback Meng?”
Qian Kun’s body trembled. If he had any doubts before, they all disappeared when he heard that question. It had to be said that Meng Qingfan of the Poison King’s Magic Palace was an extremely renowned name in the Sea of Devils. No matter which senior, when speaking of Meng Qingfan, they would refer to him as Senior Meng.
Even among people of the same level of fame, they would at least refer to him as Prince Meng. Besides reaching the Spirit Formation stage, which was extremely rare in the Sea of Devils, he also possessed poison techniques. This poison was difficult to defend against. The poison was tasteless and colorless. Many had died from this poison before they even realized what had happened.
Plus, Meng Qingfan’s eccentric personality. One wrong word and he’ll wipe out your entire sect. Once upon a time, there was a sect in the Sea of Devils. Although they didn’t have any Spirit Formation experts, they had quite a few late-stage Nascent Soul experts, making them one of the strongest sects in the Sea of Devils.
One of the sect’s new soul disciples encountered Hunchback Meng. Forgetting his identity, he even mocked Hunchback Meng.
That night, Meng Qingfan walked into the sect alone. An hour later, when he left, all 3,960 people in the sect, including inner disciples, outer disciples, all the workers, and even the late-stage Nascent Soul Masters, were dead.
When Meng Qingfan killed people, he liked to leave his reasons behind. That’s why others knew about what he had done.
As a result, Meng Qingfan’s cruelty would make anyone’s face in the Demon Sea pale.
There were only a few people in the Sea of Devils who dared to call him Hunchback Meng. After Qian Kun heard Wang Lin’s words, he became even more certain of his guess.
Qian Kun didn’t dare to lie and immediately said, “Se… Senior, Elder Meng is indeed my sect’s ancestor.” After saying this, he clenched his jaw. Without waiting for Wang Lin to speak, he revealed the secret he knew.
It seems that a few years ago, Qian Kun heard the current chief talk about the ancestor Meng Qingfan, that he did not disappear, but went to the broken and chaotic stars, and it seems that it was the second time he went there.
He also heard that if a large rift appeared on the broken and chaotic stars, it meant the ancestors had returned.
Qian Kun remembered this when he first heard it, but a long time had passed, and it had nothing to do with him, so he gradually forgot about it.
As a result, when he saw the crack open, he felt something familiar, but didn’t think much of it. However, after he answered Wang Lin’s question, he felt like he had been struck by lightning and immediately remembered it.
That was why his expression suddenly changed. A gap opened among the shattered and chaotic stars, but the ancestor didn’t return. Even the other spirit-forming cultivators like Duanmu, the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, and the Ancient Emperor didn’t come out. Instead, this young man appeared.
This made him speculate many things.
After Wang Lin finished listening, he muttered to himself, which caused Qian Kun to become extremely tense. Qian Kun clenched his jaw. He moved his hand to his storage bag and suddenly threw out black sand. He began to flee without looking back.
The black sand emitted a fishy odor. As soon as it appeared, it immediately emitted a small explosion. Wang Lin laughed inwardly. He didn’t dodge the sand but slammed his storage bag shut, and his poison sword came out.
The poisoned sword swiftly flew through the black sand several times, causing the entire black sand to suddenly ignite in green flames. Cracking sounds rang out. All the black sand turned into green smoke and was absorbed by the poisoned sword.
All of this happened extremely quickly. Almost at the same time that Qian Kun threw the black sand and began to flee, Wang Lin’s poison sword had already absorbed it all.
This time, Qian Kun’s heart trembled again. His body began to emit a chill. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power to move faster.
Wang Lin’s face remained gloomy. He pointed his finger at this eyebrow. Suddenly, from his consciousness, a black shadow flew out. The black shadow shot out from Wang Lin’s consciousness like lightning and out through the stars. [The star on his forehead]
Demon Xu Liguo came out with a shout of joy that echoed around him.
“I’m finally free! I was bored to death! Kid, don’t run. Let your Grandpa Xu devour you. To repay you for letting me out again, I’ll let you die with as little pain as possible.”
As the voice rang out, Devil Xu Ligou turned into smoke and chased after Qian Kun. Qian Kun looked shocked as Xu Ligou attacked him. After Xu Ligou devoured Qian Kun’s soul, he took the golden core formation and storage bag and returned to Wang Lin.
Xu Ligou showed an expression of trying to please, but in his heart, he didn’t want to give up the core formation.
Wang Lin glanced at the core formation and then threw it into his mouth. As soon as the core formation entered his mouth, the ancient god’s tactics began to activate, and he completely absorbed it in a few breaths.
Wang Lin could feel that 80% of the core formation was absorbed by his body and only 20% became spiritual power.
After absorbing the core formation, Wang Lin put away his storage bag. He pointed at Qian Kun’s body as a small fireball shot out from his finger. The fireball quickly landed on Qian Kun’s body and turned him to dust.
When Yun Fei saw all this, her face turned even paler, and she subconsciously took a few steps back. She felt that this white-haired youth’s cultivation level was too profound, especially the magic treasure he had used. She realized that it was a Nascent Soul.
It was only natural that Yun Fei was mistaken. Xu Ligao’s Demon Soul was refined from a newborn soul. Furthermore, Xu Ligao’s encounter with several ancestors in the third realm caused him to undergo slight changes.
And more importantly, Wang Lin had formed his soul core. Although a soul core didn’t increase a soul devourer’s cultivation level at all, it allowed the soul devourer to create wandering spirits. This soul core also benefited the wandering spirits controlled by the soul devourer.
Wang Lin killed Qian Kun because he didn’t want the news of him leaving the shattered and chaotic stars to be known.
What frightened Yun Fei the most was that Wang Lin had swallowed the core formation. Even the head of the Poison King’s Palace wouldn’t swallow the core formation without refining it with other medicines first.
He had never seen anything like this before. At this moment, Wang Lin was giving off a pressure greater than Qian Kun.
Wang Lin’s gaze landed on Yun Fei, and her body immediately shivered. She didn’t dare look at him. Wang Lin calmly said, “I helped you kill Qian Kun, how are you going to repay me?”
Shaking, Yun Fei raised her head and forced herself to calm down. She forced a smile, but she couldn’t stop her voice from trembling. She said, “Se… senior, junior doesn’t know Qian Kun.”
Wang Lin didn’t say a word and just looked at him quietly.
Yun Fei immediately saw the coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes. She suddenly became extremely nervous. The white-haired youth seemed like an extremely ruthless person. He wouldn’t show mercy to her just because she was a woman. She knew that these people weren’t impartial. If she didn’t have something to interest them, then the only path left for her was death.
Yun Fei herself had a cold personality. She already knew in her heart that Wang Lin didn’t want news of her coming out of the shattered and chaotic stars to spread. Since Qian Kun was dead, she was the only one left.
She bit her lower lip. Her face showed a stern expression as she took out a piece of jade and showed it to Wang Lin.
“Senior, this jade contains several extremely valuable pill recipes. It is the greatest treasure of my Qi Huang Sect.”
Wang Lin took the piece of jade and scanned it with his divine sense, then looked at Yun Fei.
Yun Fei felt bitterness in her heart. She realized that this piece of jade alone wasn’t enough to move Wang Lin’s heart. Her mind quickly worked and she said, “Senior, this junior grew up in Qi Lin City and has a home there. This junior is also very familiar with Qi Lin City, so if you have any requests, this junior can help.” After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Wang Lin wouldn’t know the rules of Qi Lin City and continued, “Senior, did you know that if a cultivator doesn’t have resident status in Qi Lin City, they can only stay there for three days. Then, every day after that will cost 10 low-grade spirit stones. Even then, they can only stay for a total of 10 days, but this junior here has resident status in Qi Lin City. With this junior here, this senior can stay in Qi Lin City for as long as you wish.”
“Also, junior is very familiar with this Sea of Devils, including the locations of the cities and the strengths of the cultivators, as knowing these things is junior’s duty in the Magic Palace. It can be said that there is not much this junior doesn’t know about the Sea of Devils. If it weren’t for me being chased in a panic by Qian Kun, junior wouldn’t have come to these shattered and chaotic stars.”
After Yun Fei said all this in one breath, she nervously looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment. He casually reached out his hand, and Yun Fei’s body subconsciously moved toward him.
Meanwhile, his right wrist turned and his fingers touched. With a wave, an illusory circle appeared and landed on Yun Fei’s brow.
“This restriction will activate once every three days. Each time it activates, your entire body’s blood will flow backward. Your cultivation will be disrupted, and a five-star fire will ignite within your heart. If I don’t stop it within a minute, your entire body will become a pool of blood.”
Yun Fei’s face turned pale, but she quickly calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. Yun Fei knew that her life was safe for now.
Wang Lin said calmly, “Take me to Qi Lin city.”
Yun Fei nodded and stood back on the flying sword. She carefully led the way in front of Wang Lin. Wang Lin didn’t need the flying sword to fly, but instead seemed to be carried by a gentle breeze.
This unique flying technique is actually a technique he mastered many years ago. Now, after all these years, even using the term “complete mastery” to describe his use of this technique seems inadequate. Rather, his technique is approaching perfection.
As it was now, even if he used a flying sword, his speed wouldn’t be much faster. Using a flying sword would consume more spiritual power, but since the attraction technique was the most basic technique, the amount of spiritual power consumed was almost negligible for a late-stage Core Formation expert. If one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t even be able to detect the use of spiritual power at all.
It can be said that the amount of spiritual power consumed in one breath is only 1/10,000 of the amount of spiritual power produced by his core formation in the same period of time.
After Yun Fei saw this method of flight, her heart couldn’t help but tremble again. Her thoughts of escaping by luck in the future diminished greatly.
In reality, 30,000 miles wasn’t a very long distance, but after flying for a whole day, Wang Lin still hadn’t found Qi Lin City, so his face immediately darkened. Yun Fei silently cried out in his heart. He had forgotten that when he mentioned Qi Lin City’s distance from the shattered stars, there would be rings of dark blue aura that would randomly appear.
The aura’s frequency isn’t particularly high, but when it appears, it covers a wide area. Although there’s no danger within the aura, your divine sense is trapped within your body, making it very easy to get lost.
Outside the aura, Yun Fei explained all this very nervously. She was afraid of angering Wang Lin. In the end, she suggested taking turns. This way, although it would take longer, it wouldn’t take more than five days.
After hearing this, Wang Lin released his divine sense and scanned the area. His divine sense then formed a straight line toward the aura. He immediately spotted it. After examining the aura, he confirmed what Yun Fei had just said and nodded in agreement with her suggestion.
Yun Fei sighed and immediately led the way.
Wang Lin wasn’t much of a talker, and Yun Fei was too afraid to speak. As a result, for three days, the two of them barely spoke to each other.
On the afternoon of the third day, the binding on Yun Fei’s body activated. She confirmed what Wang Lin had said earlier and felt the pain of her blood flowing backward and her spiritual power becoming chaotic. She even felt a fire about to melt her body.
Fortunately, Wang Lin stopped it just as it was activated. After experiencing it, Yun Fei’s remaining hopes of rebellion completely faded.
Wang Lin truly knew what was on her mind. Although controlling people’s hearts wasn’t his specialty, when it came to controlling demons, he was extremely skilled.
The method he used on Yun Fei wasn’t much different from raising a demon. It was essentially the same.
