Chapter 75 – Meeting the Enemy Again
Liu San and his entourage were stunned. They had never seen the middle-aged man act like this before. He quietly moved a few steps away from Wang Lin and asked, “Master, what about this little brother? Will he suffer that bloody disaster because of us?”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm. He looked at the middle-aged man, but didn’t say a word as Situ Nan’s lazy voice rang in his ears.
“This little guy is quite interesting. His fortune-telling techniques are quite good. When it comes to ordinary people, he can see signs of their future, but when he wants to see the future of us cultivators, it’s like struggling in water. I sent him some memories of me exterminating a sect, and he couldn’t take it anymore.”
In just an instant, the middle-aged scholar was already covered in sweat. His gaze toward Wang Lin was no longer neutral, but filled with fear. He heard Liu San’s words and immediately said, “It has nothing to do with little brother… little brother. My abilities aren’t good enough. I can’t see it, I can’t see it.” After that, he repeatedly bowed with a bitter expression on his face.
The scene he had witnessed earlier had completely stunned him. This wasn’t a normal world, but a hell filled with blood. The people in that scene were clearly no ordinary humans. They were capable of flying through the sky and destroying mountains. The middle-aged man had grown up studying fortune-telling techniques, so he knew that immortals existed. He also knew that he couldn’t get involved, or he would die.
Liu San frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a scream. A head flew past the area and landed on the ground. It rolled to a stop beside the fire.
Liu San’s expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up when he realized that the head belonged to someone who had been patrolling the area.
Yang San held the head. He clenched his fists and said, “Er Gou, my brother will take revenge for you!”
All the guards drew their weapons and their killing intent spread around.
The dark-faced man stood beside Liu San and asked, “Who are you? It seems like you don’t understand the rules at all.”
A dark laugh was heard from a distance. Following a rustling sound, dozens of men in black emerged from the ground. They dusted off their clothes and glared at everyone.
“Liu San’s Mountain-Splitting Palm, give us that thing and we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave this place alive.” A skinny old man walked out from the group of men in black.
Liu San’s face was as calm as water. He said, “I wonder who that person is. It seems like he’s the Vulture Escort.”
The old man laughed. “Surnamed Liu, there’s no need to say such trivial things. Your powerful bodyguard officially went out on a delivery, but secretly brought back a 500-year-old ginseng. If you hand it over, all of you will be safe. Don’t let such a thing endanger your lives.”
Liu San frowned. He looked at the people around him and thought, “How did the Vulture Escort know that I hid the ginseng? It seems like there are people in the same business with greedy hearts.” With that, his gaze fell on Wang Lin and he sneered.
He glanced at the dark-faced man. He clenched his fists and said, in a deep voice, “Whether I have that ginseng or not, are you going to steal it from me with your lowly martial arts skills?”
The dark-faced man received the message and quietly got behind Wang Lin.
Wang Lin frowned. The middle-aged man immediately stopped the dark-faced man and said, “What are you doing? This little brother isn’t an enemy.”
The dark-faced man was stunned and unable to answer.
Just then, the old man laughed. “Man named Liu, I can’t defeat you, but our boss will take action himself. You’re dead.” After that, he took a few steps back and said, “The boss has arrived.” He immediately bowed to the ground.
All the men in black became very excited. They all did the same thing as the old man and shouted, “The boss has arrived!”
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from all directions. “Take out that ginseng, or you’ll die!” As the voice rang out, a fist-sized fireball flew into the circle of carriages. The scorching fireball struck one of the guards. Before he could scream, he was burned to death.
At that moment, everyone guarding the group was stunned. Some of them even lost their grip on their weapons and dropped them to the ground.
Yang Sen’s eyes showed a look of fear. “What…what weapon is that?” he shouted.
Heat surged around the fire, making the guards realize how hot it was.
Liu San’s face was filled with shock. He took a few steps back and stared at the burning body, speechless.
The dark-faced man’s eyes showed extreme fear. Trembling, he said, “Immortal… immortal technique?” The dark-faced man had taken the sect entrance exam when he was a child. After failing, he entered the world of martial arts. The exam was deeply ingrained in his mind, so when he saw the fireball, he immediately recognized the connection.
The old man showed a proud expression and said, “Of course our boss is an immortal. Why don’t you hand over the ginseng to us right away?”
All the guards stared at Liu San, their eyes filled with a cry for help. If it were an ordinary person, they would have had the courage to fight, but this was an immortal. All the guards lost their will to fight.
Liu San showed a bitter expression. Just as he was about to speak, three fireballs appeared in the air, motionless.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he became very interested. Judging from the fireball, the person who threw it was definitely no higher than the third layer. He touched his chin and sent out his divine sense. He immediately found the person on a large tree not far away.
“What is this?” Wang Lin muttered. He was stunned. The person was around 20 years old and was at the peak of the 2nd layer. He was almost at the 3rd layer. The young man’s face was grim and covered in scars. At first glance, he looked extremely ferocious, but the more Wang Lin looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
The middle-aged scholar sighed. “Lao Liu, just give it to them. Even if the Northern family finds out, they won’t blame us. The enemy is immortal. How can we mere mortals possibly defend against him?”
Liu San hesitated for a moment, then helplessly took out a small box and placed it on the ground.
As the suitcase landed, it rose into the air. However, it didn’t fly to the Vulture Escorts, but into Wang Lin’s hands.
