Chapter 895: As Fragile as Dust
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin MO widened his eyes at the sudden pain.
Regret, anger, and fear flashed through his eyes.
But more than anything, there was a refusal to accept defeat.
How could he die like this?
His path had been smoother than others, and his talent far surpa.s.sed them. Resources were within his easy reach. He still had a chance to s.h.i.+ne bright and gain the admiration of others.
Even in the face of death, he should be calmer than others. If he were to die, he would drag his enemy down with him.
He was a genius with numerous resources, and his seniors were all watching him.
Many thoughts ran through Lin MOs mind.
He spat out blood. His eyes were bloodshot.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the spear lodged in his chest, and pulled it out.
Blood sprayed out.
His aura began to rise continuously as if it had been acc.u.mulating for a long time and was finally breaking through.
He advanced to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Die! t,
Lin MO, with a ferocious face, infused all his power into one thrust and hurled the spear at his opponent.
The intent was to kill. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi were shocked.
They couldnt react in time.
Lin Zhi almost fled. He pulled Zhao Qingxue and Lin MO and tried to run with them.
Facing Lin Mos attack, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior was surprised. He crushed the spear easily. In an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Mo.
Then, he pushed him down.
He pressed Lin Mos head to the ground. Thought you had some power?
He slammed Lin Mos head down. His head was almost entirely buried in the soil.
He treated him as though he was as fragile as dust.
It crushed Lin MOs pride.
Lin Zhi wanted to help, but he felt like he was of no use.
This was the world of cultivation. Just because you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm didnt mean every opponent you faced was weaker than you. Temporary breakthroughs couldnt give a person enough power and strength to fight back.
Zhao Qingxue felt how insignificant she was for the first time.
She didnt even have a chance to make a move.
At that moment, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior looked at the three people and smiled. You should thank the sects rules. Otherwise, you would be dead.
A woman walked to them. The things we need are ready. We can leave now.
Then, she looked at the three on the ground. Arent you killing them?
No need, said the Foundation Establishment Realm senior and shook his head. Killing within the sect is troublesome. Besides, there is no need to let a group of inexperienced kids ruin our plans.
He squatted down, patted Lin Mos face, and chuckled. Junior Brother, how long do you think you can survive once you leave the sect?
With that, he turned and left.
Lin MO and the others had no idea about their plans. They just happened to b.u.mp into them here.
Shortly after, Jiang Hao and Zheng s.h.i.+jiu appeared in front of the three kids.
Even now, they were still suppressed by the aura.
They couldnt even get up.
No one was around, so n.o.body had informed the sect.
What happened here? Zheng s.h.i.+jiu asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head. Such incidents were common in the world of cultivation, and the same applied within the sect. The only thing they could do was try to avoid them as much as possible.
When Lin MO and the others mentioned that there were more alchemists here, he thought that something might happen.
He just didnt expect things to go south so quickly.
They probably encountered some spies, Jiang Hao said.
Lin Zhi and the others were not children. So, Jiang Hao wouldnt keep an eye on them every day.
He didnt expect problems to occur so soon.
Lin Mos behavior wouldnt have caused any problems within the sect, but unfortunately, they had run into these people outside.
Well, hopefully, Lin Zhi had learned a lesson from this.
Do we need to inform the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall? Zheng s.h.i.+jiu asked.
Yes. Jiang Hao nodded.
The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall took Lin MO away.
Since the other two were not injured, they stayed back and completed the sects tasks.
Later, Liu Xingchen also arrived. He was responsible for investigating the situation.
Junior Brother Jiang, you seem to run into trouble wherever you go, he said.
You jest, Senior Brother. This time, it wasnt me, said Jiang Hao.
Tell me what happened, Liu Xingchen said with interest.
Jiang Hao remained calm. It seems the three juniors noticed something unusual and confronted somebody about it. The opponent turned out to be too powerful. It was my negligence, Senior Brother Liu.
Junior Brother Jiang, you must be joking. Its not your fault. Its good that you found the problem early. Thats good.
Jiang Hao nodded and looked at Lin Zhi and Zhao Qingxue. They hadnt fully recovered yet. They still didnt understand what the cultivation path and the sect were about.
Although Lin Zhi was constantly beaten in the sect, even he was unaware of how terrifying the sect could be.
As for Zhao Qingxue, she had never seen the real side of the sect at the White Moon Lake. Their status was too high.
I believe you told me to find something before Did you find anything? Jiang Hao asked.
It was not easy to find that person.
Havent found the person yet. It seems like the sect is intentionally waiting for something. But you definitely found an important clue, Liu Xingchen said with a smile.
Is it someone important? Jiang Hao asked.
The Lawless Tower has intervened. We still dont know for sure. Liu Xingchen shook his head.
After talking for a while, Liu Xingchen left. He seemed very eager.
Jiang Hao looked at Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi.
Lets go back and rest. Well continue patrolling tomorrow. This time, the merit will be significant, and it will help with your task, Jiang Hao said. Regardless, they had indeed achieved something. They were the first to know about the situation here.
Jiang Hao didnt know the details, but it seemed unrelated to the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect. Perhaps, after some time, Liu Xingchen would inform him of the developments.
As for Lin MO, he wouldnt die.
How he wanted to proceed from now on would depend on himself.
At the Enforcement Hall, Lin MO slowly sat up in the courtyard. His eyes no longer had the confident gleam from before.
It seemed like he had suffered an unimaginable blow.
He had been humiliated and beaten.
He covered his face, and tears streamed down his face.
Feeling bad? said a young man beside him.
Senior Brother, I want to be alone right now, Lin MO said. Do you feel like a failure? Do you feel embarra.s.sed? the man asked.
Lin MO didnt say anything.
The man smiled. Its normal. Everyone is arrogant and reckless when they are young. Its not bad, but you need to understand the consequences that come with your actions. Dont think that you are different just because you are from the Law Enforcement Hall. If you think like that, you wont be worthy of the Law Enforcement Hall. Master has high expectations for you. Thats why he asked you to follow Junior Brother Jiang. That person isnt ordinary. You will learn a lot if you follow him.. What did you think when you first saw him? Did you feel that he was a mere inner sect disciple who relied on Blood Wish Path to advance? Did you think that was all he was worth? You didnt want to debase yourself by a.s.sociating with him..
