Chapter 170: Master, You Sneak up on Me! (2)
Luo Jianqing said, “Indeed, the relics of Tribulation Passage cultivators can only bring minor benefit to me. But master, what if it’s the relic of a Da Sheng Period cultivator, Deity Transformation Period cultivator... or even a deity...” After a pause, Luo Jianqing smilingly turned to his master in white, “Master, what should I do?”
Xuan Lingzi, “...”
After a long time, Xuan Lingzi said, “If it’s really a relic of a Deity Transformation Period cultivator or a deity, you... can just inherit it.”
Luo Jianqing continued, “But if I inherit his relic, I have to carry on his legacy, and he would be half of my master,”
Xuan Lingzi didn’t respond until they left the territory of Yin Ze Mountain. He asked in a low voice, “Then what do you want me to do?”
Luo Jianqing turned around and curled up his lips. His smile was as gentle as spring breeze, and he said seriously, stressing each of syllable, “You were supposed to say, ‘No, I won’t allow you to inherit anyone’s relic, as I belong to you, and you... only belong to me.’”
Boom!
Xuan Lingzi blushes in an instant, as a hillock nearby burst into ashes.
Luv Jianqing, “...”
That was a little bit overreacted...
Luo Jianqing clearly knew that Xuan Lingzi was an observant, stoic and respectable man of integrity, so flirting with his master was Luo Jianqing’s biggest hobby. He had been devoted to changing that stuffy and stubborn man, but now, it still seemed to have a long way to go.
Since Luo Jianqing didn’t seek for any relics, they quickly passed through the Bottomless Cave, the second dangerous place in the Northern Land of Arctic after the Yin Ze Gully.
The Bottomless Cave was a little bit more perilous than the Yin Ze Gully, with fewer cultivators coming. This place actually consisted of numerous bottomless caves, where cultivators could fall easily. At the bottom of each cave lay a horrible demon.
It was said that in the ancient times, when the Northern Land of Arctic had not been viewed as a dangerous place, a fierce battle broke out between human and demon. Demons suffered a tremendous defeat, and tens of thousands of them crashed here. Each of their body ripped a deep cave on the ground. Years after years, their grievances and grudges made these caves bottomless.
But they were not literally bottomless. As long as you killed the evil spirits of those died demons, you could make it out.
Luo Jianqing didn’t know how powerful the ancient demons were, nor did he care. Currently, he only wanted to travel as quickly as possible. He avoided each cave discreetly, while other cultivators jumped into those abysses with great terror. As long as they killed the demons, they could obtain their bodies, inner pills and even some relics!
Luo Jianqing walked in the Bottomless Cave for thirty days.
However, the caves here were excessively dense, so it was impossible to shun away from all of them. At the edge of the Bottomless Cave, Luo Jianqing finally fell into a cave.
Luo Jianqing’s falling shocked Xuan Lingzi. He rushed to the mouth of the cave and was about to jump in, yet he stopped. After a sigh, Xuan Lingzi chose to sit cross-legged beside the cave and waited Luo Jianqing out.
The next day, Luo Jianqing flew out of the cave in a mess.
He was getting all stained with blood on his hair, but his eyes were clearer and even a little bit slashing, like a naked sword gleamed by the sun.
As Luo Jianqing flew out, his raised his Floating Frost Sword and was about to stab Xuan Lingzi.
Xuan Lingzi was baffled by his move, and he clamped the sword with only two fingers. Before he could ask anything, Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes, examined Xuan Lingzi carefully and said in a cold voice, “Wuyin, you mean everything to me.”
Boom!
Xuan Lingzi’s ears went red, and he looked away subconsciously.
Seeing that, Luo Jianqing finally relieved. He went limp and almost fell on the ground. He forged a bitter smile, “I finally see the real you, master. You don’t know how villainous and shrewd the demon I encountered this time was. I thought it was a flame demon, and it also pretended to fight with me. And I used the ultimate skill to put it down, taking its inner pill and relic. As I flew out of the cave, I saw you with a worried face, asking me whether I had encountered any danger, so I let down all my guard and told ‘you’ everything. But... you should raid me!”
Xuan Lingzi was baffled and gazed at Luo Jianqing with innocent eyes.
Speaking of which, Luo Jianqing was a little bit angry. He clutched his Floating Frost Sword and said, “I didn’t feel anything wrong at first. Then, when I found that you couldn’t kill me with one blow, I realized that... such a weak man couldn’t be you. It must be the phantom made by that demon.”
Xuan Lingzi, “...”
“I made great efforts to kill ‘you’...”
Xuan Lingzi couldn’t help reminding him, “That was not me.”
Luo Jianqing continued, “After I killed you, I flew out of that cave again, and I saw another ‘you’! This time you played better...”
Xuan Lingzi, “... I didn’t play.”
Luo Jianqing said, “When we left that bottomless cave, you finally betrayed yourself.”
Xuan Lingzi, “...”
Luo Jianqing said furiously, “Altogether, I went through that circle for some eighteen times! And I even drew a conclusion. First, if you could block my attack easily, then it might be you. Next, I had tested you with that sentence. If you didn’t go blushed, you were a fake one. Otherwise, it was you for sure!”
Xuan Lingzi, “...”
They stepped up and left the Bottomless Cave. Luo Jianqing still had lingering fear of that nightmare, while Xuan Lingzi was too angry to give this place another look. Just as they left this place, a figure in blood red was flying through the Feng Shen Sea.
The sea was vast with surging and powerful waves. The astral wind blotted out the sky, blowing towards him like sharp knives. It seemed that the wind was about to drag him into the sea and tear him into pieces. However, the wind was blocked three meters away by his blood ward, which could not be penetrated even by the astral wind.
If anyone else saw him, he would be struck dumb.
‘Someone was flying in the sky above the Feng Shen Sea and trying to get through it? That was committing suicide!’
The ward would break after all, yet at this time, the handsome cultivator in red would take out a blood bell and draw another ward.
Looking at the boundless sea, Mo Qiu snorted, “I have made tremendous effort to get through the Feng Shen Sea. Luo Jianqing, you’d better have something important to show me!”
