Chapter 298: Chapter 280 Lin Jing Leaves
However, as soon as the person finished speaking,
the strange eyeball on the old man’s staff moved. The eyeball rolled around once and then shot a black ray directly at one of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the air.
The speed of the black ray was too fast; the Nascent Soul cultivator did not even have time to react before being struck by it.
Following that, the Nascent Soul cultivator began to petrify at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The petrification was not quick.
However, as if frozen in place, he had no reaction during this process.
The other two with him wanted to step forward to help but were intercepted by the two wolf-headed demon cultivators.
As the battle broke out among them, various powerful energies violently surged, spreading outwards continuously.
Around them, no other cultivators dared to approach, both human and demon alike stayed away.
The intense aura of battle was too ferocious; the Nascent Soul cultivator, now a stone statue, could no longer withstand it and directly shattered.
After the statue crumbled, a two-inch-tall figure radiating purple light escaped from within.
This little figure looked exactly like the petrified cultivator.
It seemed that this little figure should be the cultivator’s Nascent Soul.
With a face full of terror, the tiny figure hastily said to its two companions still in battle,
“Do not continue the fight…”
“Quickly…”
“Go back to the Sect and ask the Patriarch to come out of seclusion.”
The other two, naturally aware they were no match for the old man, were helplessly entangled by the two Nascent Soul demon cultivators and could not break free.
Upon seeing the little figure appear, a smile emerged on the old man’s wrinkled face.
Then, with a twist of the hand holding the staff, the other side of the staff was revealed.
This side had a wolf’s mouth at the top, which seemed like a deep abyss, mysterious and unfathomable.
The Nascent Soul seemed to sense danger and let out a cry of alarm, hurrying to flee.
However, just as it began to escape, a strong suction force emanated from the wolf’s mouth on the staff.
This suction force had no effect on the others,
but the Nascent Soul could not move forward no matter how it tried to escape, instead being pulled backwards by the terrifying force.
With a face full of horror, the Nascent Soul called out to its companion,
“Fellow Daoist, save me…”
At that moment, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators took action, offering up a gourd Magical Treasure. As soon as the gourd was opened, it instantly emitted a white ray aimed at the staff of the Divinity Transformation cultivator,
attempting to rescue their companion.
However, the old man simply waved his hand, and the white ray was dissipated.
He also let out a cold huff.
Picking up the staff and striking it on the ground, it immediately emitted a black light, and the suction from the wolf’s mouth greatly increased.
“No…”
The Nascent Soul, unable to hold on any longer, let out a terrified and pitiful cry, before being sucked into the wolf’s mouth and disappearing.
After absorbing the Nascent Soul, a layer of purple light appeared on the Divinity Transformation cultivator.
He closed his eyes, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and let out a satisfied moan,
“This taste, it’s been a while since I’ve savored it. Truly delightful…”
A moment later, having finished savoring, he raised the staff in his hand and shouted,
“Kill them all, leave none behind…”
……
Lin Jing only saw up to this point, then the light screen subsequently dissipated.
“This…”
“Has the Howling Sky Wolf Clan invaded?”
Lin Jing’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he asked Huang Qingling.
Huang Qingling nodded and said,
“Yes!”
“And, this incident happened not long ago.”
“Therefore, you cannot go out now; I can only send you away through the Teleportation Array of Qinghuang Palace.”
“Wasn’t it said that the Howling Sky Wolf Clan is in the Western Demon Region? How could they use a Teleportation Array to travel such a long distance,”
“to come directly to the Nanming Domain?”
Lin Jing asked, voicing his own doubts.
“Because they didn’t teleport from the Western Demon Region; they also came from another Secret Realm,”
said Huang Qingling, before directly instructing Lin Jing,
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the Teleportation Array and send you away. After that, it shouldn’t be long before I have to start my slumber.”
Lin Jing then looked concerned and questioned,
“If you fall asleep, won’t they attack Qinghuang Palace?”
Lin Jing was naturally referring to those demon cultivators from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan.
Huang Qingling shook her head,
“Don’t worry, they won’t.”
“With their strength, they can’t even ascend Qinghuang Peak, let alone reach Qinghuang Palace.”
“This place isn’t so simple.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing nodded his head.
He knew that the bottom layer’s formations of Qinghuang Peak have not been deciphered by anyone from the three major Sects to date.
The Howling Sky Wolf Clan, I suppose, won’t be able to hang on either.
……
Then, there was a period of silence.
After a long pause, Huang Qingling looked at Lin Jing and said,
“Lin Jing, although I really can’t bear to let you go, now, I must send you away.”
“Using my power outside Qinghuang Palace has drained me greatly. If I delay any further, my condition will become unstable, and I’m afraid I’ll fall into a deep slumber.”
“Once I fall asleep, you’ll be trapped here in Qinghuang Palace.”
Lin Jing lifted his head and looked into Huang Qingling’s reluctant eyes.
He then nodded.
“I understand.”
Afterward,
Huang Qingling took out a Space Ring and a Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing, saying,
“Here, take this…”
These two items were taken from the Zhang Family Patriarch.
“I have no use for the things inside these; you can have them all.”
“Also, I’ve removed the restriction on the Space Ring for you. It can be opened at any time. When you can, refine it yourself, and it will completely become your possession.”
Lin Jing nodded and accepted the items handed over by Huang Qingling.
After giving the items to Lin Jing, Huang Qingling spoke again,
“Let’s go then, to the Teleportation Array.”
Lin Jing nodded, and then he came before Elders Bai and Yu and deeply bowed.
Then, he gave a fist salute to Zhang Yuan.
“Elder Bai, Elder Yu…”
“And Brother Zhang, I am leaving…”
Lin Jing didn’t say anything else.
Because he knew that as long as Huang Qingling was present, they would be safe.
Following that, he left the palace with Huang Qingling.
Once outside the grand hall, Lin Jing was again surprised.
Atop Qinghuang Peak, a sprawling complex of palaces stood in picturesque disorder, looking like a heavenly palace among the clouds.
The two of them walked for half an hour before they arrived at a square behind the grand hall.
Upon reaching the square, a massive Teleportation Array suddenly appeared in Lin Jing’s sight.
The Teleportation Array was grand, taking up the entire square. Its Formation Patterns were densely packed yet orderly,
“This Teleportation Array is an intercontinental one, capable of sending people to any continent at will.”
“I’ve always heard that the Eastern Spirit Realm is the pinnacle of the Cultivation World; even those who ascend mostly head there.”
“I plan to send you directly to the Eastern Spirit Realm. What do you think?”
“Good…” Lin Jing replied with a nod.
“Go on, stand in the middle of the Formation. I will activate it.”
Huang Qingling pointed to the center of the Formation and said to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing nodded again and then walked into the center of the Formation.
Seeing that Lin Jing was ready, Huang Qingling began to activate the Formation.
Then, a ray of nine-color divine light shot from Huang Qingling’s hands, entering the nine positions within the Formation.
The Formation was instantaneously activated.
The Formation Patterns above the Formation grew brighter and brighter.
Soon, once all the Formation Patterns were lit up, a huge column of nine-color light shot up into the sky, piercing the void above.
At that moment,
In the Secret Realm, that small, cane-carrying old man from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan—who was a Divine Transformation Cultivator—was lifting his head, contemplating as he looked in the direction of Qinghuang Peak.
……
Simultaneously, the light from the Teleportation Array grew more brilliant, and Lin Jing, who was within the Array, felt a tearing force coming upon him.
It was the sign that the teleportation was about to begin.
Lin Jing lifted his head, looking towards Huang Qingling, who stood on the edge of the Teleportation Array.
At this moment, her eyes were reddened, gazing at him.
“Lin Jing, don’t you ever forget me…”
After speaking, Huang Qingling stretched out her hand, and a multicolored feather appeared in her palm.
Thereafter,
The feather flew from Huang Qingling’s hand, crossed the Formation, and landed in Lin Jing’s hand.
Lin Jing reached out and caught the drifting feather.
He then lowered his gaze to the feather in his hand, a mix of indescribable emotions instantly filled his chest.
“Remember, you still owe me an Eternal Youth Elixir.”
“And next time…”
“If there’s a chance for us to meet again, don’t forget to make me something delicious…”
Huang Qingling waved her hand as tears fell from her cheeks.
At this point, whether it was a splintered soul or a separate embodiment, it didn’t matter any longer.
She indeed was the Huang Qingling who had been with Lin Jing for many years.
“Qingling, rest assured…”
Before Lin Jing could finish his words, a flash of white light swept over, and then the world returned to calm…
