Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 66: The Supreme Elder
Jin Ke followed Lin Yi obediently and cautiously, a few steps behind him. He had long forgotten the country boy who could be humiliated at will. What was in front of him was just a tiger with sharp claws lying in wait, a beast that could devour his life at any time. He could not be looked down upon or neglected. He was terrified and could only stay away from him!
"Brother Jin, you and I can just be as usual. Are you so pretentious, afraid that others will not know?" Lin Yi said without turning his head.
"Ah... yes, or Lin... Junior Brother Lin thought it through." Jin Ke was shocked and smiled, but he still didn't dare to get close.
This Lin Yi was too surprising. How could he be so cruel and ruthless at such a young age, and his martial arts skills were unimaginable. This person must have an extraordinary origin! It was a pity that I went to his house again and again. I was really blind. Let him do whatever he wants. I won't dare to cause trouble again in the future, unless I don't want to live anymore.
After waking up, he found that the bodies of several people were missing, and he guessed that they had been destroyed. Thinking about the fate of the four people, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and his mouth was dry.
Secretly looking at Lin Yi's back from behind, Jin Ke, who was uneasy, became more cautious in his heart.
Seeing that Jin Ke was still like this, Lin Yi didn't bother to pay attention, but rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Brother Jin, if I have any questions in the future, I hope..."
"I will tell you everything I know." At this moment, Jin Ke's mind was on Lin Yi, so he naturally knew what the other party meant, and responded without stopping.
When the two returned to the teahouse, the waiter in the teahouse looked slightly stunned. Lin Yi glanced at the waiter casually and fell on Wen Lun.
Wen Lun sat upright, staring at the teapot in front of him. Seeing Lin Yi coming back, his eyes lit up, and then he smiled bitterly: "Brother, I've already drunk two pots of tea, and my stomach is already full."
Lin Yi chuckled: "I didn't expect that I was delayed for a while because of something. I kept you waiting for a long time."
Wen Lun waved his hand and said: "Why should we be polite to each other!" Looking at Jin Ke behind Lin Yi, he asked curiously: "I wonder how the rescue is going?"
Jin Ke looked at Lin Yi, forced a smile on his face, but didn't dare to say much.
Lin Yi looked around and smiled: "It's okay, you and I should go back!"
Wen Lun had seen Jin Ke before, and knew that this person was very domineering, but he didn't know why he became so respectful and humble. He was lazy by nature and didn't want to think too much, so he held his preserved fruits and meat and pulled Lin Yi away.
After returning to the mountain for lunch, Hu Wan and Shen Ding inevitably snatched Wen Lun's snacks. Let the three of them make trouble, and Lin Yi came to the back mountain alone with the horse.
In the afternoon sunshine, Lin Yi lay on the soft grass with his hands behind his head.
Thinking of what happened in the first half of the day, Lin Yi couldn't help but close his eyes.
I didn't expect that this Tianlong Sect is really a place where winds and clouds gather.
In the teahouse, Lin Yi found that the waiter was not right. Although the waiter repeatedly concealed it, his eyes flickered, and he didn't have the honesty and simplicity of a countryman. When the waiter faced Wen Lun's unintentional questions, the panic in his expression could not be hidden from his eyes.
The waiter looked humble but his eyes were deep, which was really inconsistent with a country waiter. Therefore, Lin Yi paid attention to it.
When Jin Ke came to the teahouse for the first time, although the waiter lowered his head to avoid it, Lin Yi, who pretended not to know, still noticed something strange.
Jin Ke accidentally met Lin Yi and then deliberately avoided him. When he came to the teahouse for the second time, he lied and deceived. Lin Yi knew that his words were fraudulent at the time, but he still pretended not to know, but didn't want to implicate Wen Lun. Besides, it was more convenient to act alone.
Following Jin Ke to find Xu Yue, before reaching the open space, Lin Yi had already sensed the ambush in his consciousness. Seeing that the four masked men were acting secretly, he was sure that Jin Ke wanted to harm him, but he still pretended not to know.
The four masked men were good at martial arts, but they were not his opponents, so Lin Yi was trapped in an ambush, but he had a plan. But killing people at the foot of Jiulong Mountain still made him worried.
After talking with Jin Ke, knowing that they would not let him go, and that it would not be disadvantageous to him as long as he killed them instantly, Lin Yi decided to kill them all without leaving any. Otherwise, if he was entangled by several people, he would not be able to stay in Tianlong Sect in the future.
Killing three people and deliberately leaving the leader was also Lin Yi's intention. There is a soul-searching technique in "Forging God Mirror", which is extremely vicious and has never been used since he cultivated it. When this technique is used on people, it will make people truly become a walking corpse without a mind.
It was infuriating that these people wanted to use the "Heart-Losing Pill" on Lin Yi. He was angry and brutal, which was also a way of giving him a taste of his own medicine. Moreover, he also wanted to know the origins of several people, so he left one person and performed soul-searching on him.
Using powerful spiritual consciousness to invade the other party's sea of consciousness and search the memories in the other party's brain, Lin Yi knew many secrets that shocked the people in the martial arts world.
These four people turned out to be from the Canghai Gang, and they were all in the same group as the masked man who ambushed Mu Qing'er many days ago. The masked old man with superb martial arts skills was Bian Zhenduo, the deputy leader of the Canghai Gang. This group of people, together with the Pai Gang, have been operating around Jiulong Mountain for two or three years.
The Canghai Gang is no less than ten thousand miles away from Jiulong Mountain, but they have invested so much money, which shows that this group of people is determined to win the overseas event.
After many failed plots against the Tianlong Sect, the Canghai Gang changed their strategy and started from within the Tianlong Sect.
This "Heart-Losing Pill" is a poison obtained from southern Xinjiang. After swallowing this pill, the person will lose his mind and obey the words of the person who casts the spell. Otherwise, the poison will bite the body and kill the person.
There is no antidote for this poison. Lin Yi checked the four people and found nothing. After soul searching, we learned that the bewitched person only obeys the instructions of the bewitched person. After the person who cast the poison dies, the poison will resolve itself.
This was also the reason why Jin Ke personally asked Lin Yi to swallow the pill. But how much Jin Ke knew about poison was not Lin Yi's concern.
From the memory of the masked man, Lin Yi did not get any news that other disciples in the sect were poisoned. But he couldn't believe that the only insider in the Canghai Gang was Jin Ke. Even the waiters at the tea shops in the market are spies. Who knows how many back-ups the Canghai Gang has.
This is the grudge between the Tianlong Sect and the Jianghu Gang, and has nothing to do with him as a horse-raising disciple. In half a year, he will leave the Tianlong Sect. At that time, I would like to tell my friends here to be more careful.
Lin Yi didn't kill Jin Ke, he had his own ideas. This Jin Ke was forced to become an internal member of the Canghai Gang. What he was most afraid of was that his identity would be leaked, so that he, a horse-raising disciple, would not be involved.
Lin Yi is not worried about whether Jinke will let the Canghai Gang deal with him. If the Canghai Gang wants to seek revenge on him, even if Lin Yi's whereabouts are exposed to the world, the Canghai Gang's plans will also be known to the Tianlong Sect. As a result, the Canghai Gang obviously lost more than it gained. Therefore, I should be fine for the time being.
Besides, there is no benefit in killing Jin Ke. If he walks with him in the market, he will be seen by countless people. If Master Jin disappears for no reason, Lin Yi will be the target of public criticism.
…
At the same time, in the cave of Elder Jin Jifengjiang, three old men sat together.
The one in the middle is Elder Jiang with a white beard and boyish face, and on the left is an old man with gray beard and hair and a clear complexion. His eyes are full of energy, and he is the elder Qiao with the highest level of cultivation among the three. On the right is an old man with gray hair. If it weren't for the wrinkles on his face, he would be regarded as a middle-aged man. This man is Elder Zhu in the sect.
"Brother Jiang, did you call us two here? Is there something wrong?" Elder Zhu asked.
Elder Qiao sat silently, waiting for Elder Jiang to continue.
Elder Jiang looked at the two old friends in front of him and nodded solemnly. He then told the two of them the strange things and speculations that Mu Tiancheng encountered when he visited him a few days ago.
"That night, the formation at the entrance of the cave caused fluctuations, which aroused my alertness. Then I used my spiritual consciousness to look around, and I vaguely felt a ray of spiritual consciousness peeking from the side, but I couldn't find him. This person's spiritual consciousness was much higher than mine. There are so many!”
After Elder Jiang finished speaking, he looked worried. Qiao and Zhu also looked at each other in astonishment.
Elder Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Is it possible that these two friends don't believe what Jiang said?"
Elder Zhu frowned and shook his head and said: "It's incredible! Not to mention that there are very few immortal cultivators in Dashang. Even if there are, they are just like us. How could such a master appear inexplicably and still watch me in Jiulong Mountain? , this makes no sense..."
Qiao Changlong nodded slightly and said, "Brother Zhu is right. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, there is nothing worth being curious about in Jiulong Mountain. If you are a person with advanced cultivation, you will naturally not bother to be hostile to you and me."
Hearing this, Elder Jiang sighed: "What does Brother Qiao mean? This expert will naturally not peep at me? Maybe I am old and suspicious, which is reassuring. But you two still can't trust my three talents." Ghost Flag Formation?"
Hearing this, Elder Qiao muttered: "In this case, of course we can trust Brother Guo Jiang. But, what is the purpose of this person? We are both cultivators of immortality. We should know that the road to immortality is difficult. If we show up to meet each other, we will also treat each other." Not a bad thing."
Elder Zhu also said thoughtfully: "Maybe this person is someone who has returned from overseas?"
"Otherwise! I suspect that this person is not an outsider, but a Shang countryman. You two should also put yourself in his shoes and think about it. Who would leave that place so easily!" Elder Jiang said affirmatively, and the two of them were very surprised after hearing this. Be aware of it and be convinced of it.
The three of them had no choice but to leave that place and return to their homeland.
Elder Jiang continued: "I invite you two to come here to discuss this matter together. Where did this person come from? Did he pass by Jiulong Mountain, or did he come here specifically? Is this person an enemy or a friend?"
Elder Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know any of this!"
Elder Qiao pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "If this person is really a local, even if his cultivation level is higher than mine, it won't be much higher. The purpose of this person's coming is unknown, but there is no ill intention. Regardless of his Passing by Jiulong Mountain, or lurking nearby, we will wait and see what happens. If it shows up again, we should show our kindness, otherwise it will be detrimental to our Tianlong Sect!"
"Just follow what Brother Qiao said! If this person is lurking here, the Foreign Affairs Hall and the Shanwai Market are the best places to hide. I will tell Tiancheng to be careful."
The three elders lived in seclusion at Jinzhu Peak and ignored worldly affairs. When something major happened, Elder Jiang would step in to take care of it. This old man had to think more for the Tianlong Sect.
…
Lin Yiyi maintained enough respect for the Supreme Elder of the Tianlong Sect. The three old men were also secretly wary of Lin Yi, a potential master!
…
Lin Yi raises and walks horses every day and lives a leisurely life. The fun and banter with Hu and Wan also filled the ordinary days with laughter.
Jiang Fangdi and the other three would come to see Lin Yi every now and then to visit the back mountains. Xu Yue's smile was like the golden autumn valley, becoming more charming and charming.
The days passed like this, and the Tianlong Sect also ushered in a grand event within the sect. The once-in-ten-year disciple competition will be held as scheduled on the first day of September...
