Chapter 554: Chapter 285: Visitors from Dao Ling Zong_2
“Rumors have it that Eastern Daoist Friend, you are undefeated under the heavens. After hearing that, I honestly couldn’t help itching to test my skills against yours.” The middle-aged man, covered in muscles, grinned as a large knife surfaced in his hand, casually thrown over his shoulder.
Lin Yi said indifferently, “I didn’t expect you all to value the Sun Moon Divine Sect so much. Even though I forgot to invite you, you all rushed to give gifts. You don’t have to visit, just leave the gifts behind.”
This statement made the three people pause. The old man with an air of immortality chuckled, “As long as Daoist Friend visits my Dao Ling Zong, the gifts will naturally be delivered.”
“As long as you defeat me, choose any gift you want.” The muscular man lifted up his large knife, knocked on his shoulder with the back of it, and chuckled.
“I will only say this once. Since there are no gifts, then let’s part ways here.” Lin Yi spoke slowly, ready to leave with the Lightning Mink.
At this moment, the immortal old man reached out to stop him, “Daoist Friend, please wait…”
However, before he could finish speaking, a more terrifying aura spread out from Lin Yi, “Scram.” As he spoke, this powerful aura transformed into a fierce wind element divine skill that charged towards the three of them.
The three Dao Ling Zong Nascent Soul True Monarchs immediately took action to resist, but the wind kicked up dust and debris like the apocalypse. Their defenses were broken instantly, and despite their formidable power as Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they couldn’t steady themselves in the wind and were blown away by it.
When they finally stabilized themselves and looked around, their faces changed. The wind had blown them hundreds of miles away. It was terrifying.
“Elder Brother, this Eastern Sect Master is so powerful. We could not resist a sudden gust of wind. What should we do now? Do we continue chasing him?” The elegant and noble woman spoke in shock.
“My body, which I have cultivated for more than eight hundred years, couldn’t even stand steady in this wind. This woman is too freakish.” The muscular man said, somewhat deflated.
Thinking they could spar with Lin Yi, but couldn’t even withstand a breeze, they were blown away directly.
The ancient-looking old man glanced at the depths of the Monster Forest and sighed, “Why chase after them? The Eastern Sect Master was just going easy on us. It seems the rumors about him seriously injuring Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators in an instant are not baseless.”
“Our probing this time has given us the result. The Eastern Sect Master may really be undefeated under the heavens. In the future, our Dao Ling Zong should not provoke him and the Sun Moon Divine Sect. Let’s go back.”
Other than the two elder brothers who were currently secluding themselves to comprehend the Deification Realm, the three of them were the strongest in the Dao Ling Zong but couldn’t even withstand the gust of wind unleashed by the Eastern Sect Master. This showed how powerful he was. They absolutely could not provoke him.
Soon after, the three of them, like defeated roosters, left the Monster Forest with their heads down.
Lin Yi felt the aura of the three gradually moving away, showing a faint smile. Wind and lightning elements were the ones he had studied and cultivated first.
However, the corresponding dark elements were still unmanageable, but the power of positive elements was even stronger than wood and fire elements.
At the same time, he combined it with the earth element to instantaneously break their defenses and blew them away.
If he wanted to, seriously injuring these three would have been a piece of cake. However, making an enemy out of Dao Ling Zong was not a wise choice.
More importantly, though powerful, he wasn’t someone who killed indiscriminately.
The Lightning Mink beside him was completely dumbfounded, admiration showing on its face. His benefactor was incredibly powerful. With just a wave of a hand, he was able to make three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Dao Ling Zong retreat.
If this Daoist Friend truly wished to adopt their child as a spiritual pet, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Being with such a strong cultivator, their child could go further.
“Let’s go, Mink Daoist Friend, let’s continue our journey.” Lin Yi showed a faint smile and spoke to the dumbfounded Lightning Mink.
The Lightning Mink regained its composure, quickly nodded, and obediently followed behind Lin Yi.
Not long after, they rejoined the female Mink and successfully entered the core area of the Monster Forest. They walked for a while and stopped in a cave on the side closer to the Heng Yuan World.
There were also some Monster Beasts in the vicinity, but the highest cultivation level amongst them was only the Golden Core Realm. Moreover, none of them were Lightning Minks, indicating that Lightning Minks were not herd animals.
“Fellow Daoist, this is our cave mansion, please come in,” the male mink courteously said to Lin Yi at the cave entrance.
Lin Yi nodded lightly and slowly walked in. These Monster Beasts’ cave mansions generally lacked any protective measures, a stark contrast to human cultivators who were versed in formations.
As for inviting human cultivators to set up formations, it was basically impossible. Because human cultivators and Monster Beasts have a hostile relationship, Monster Beasts naturally worry that human cultivators might leave behind some tricks in the formations.
However, the Golden Core Monster Kings in the vicinity were likely the protectors of this cave mansion.
Moreover, most cultivators would not dare to venture deep into the core area of the Monster Forest.
Upon entering from the cave’s entrance, the interior was suddenly spacious, featuring a small pool, and even a skylight for sunlight to filter through—it was actually quite a pleasant environment.
Most Monster Beasts didn’t have strict requirements for their living environment, for them, improving their cultivation strength was the utmost priority.
Lin Yi also felt a strong Spiritual Energy. He looked around and smiled; it was no wonder why this was chosen as their cave mansion. The environment inside naturally formed a formation that gathered all the Spiritual Energy, moreover, there was a Spirit Vein underneath.
The Lightning Mink couple brewed a pot of tea for Lin Yi. “Please enjoy the tea, fellow Daoist. This was picked from an ancient tea tree in the core area of our Monster Forest. We usually don’t enjoy the taste, so we’ve been saving it up.”
Lin Yi nodded, picked up the cup, and took a light sip, revealing a trace of surprise. It seems that there are many treasures in this Monster Forest. The taste of this tea surpasses that of the Cloud Sect’s Immortal Tea by far, and it seems to have some cultivation benefits.
After a few sips, he put down the cup and glanced at the male mink beside him. Due to the small size of the Lightning Minks, they needed a high stool to sit next to the tea table.
After observing the environment inside the cave, he asked, “Fellow Daoist, do you only have this one child?”
At this time, he activated the resonance function of the Spirit Pet Column. After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, his title as a pet owner was upgraded from Advanced to Spirit level. Thus, the spirit pets inside the Spirit Pet Column could activate resonance to observe external occurrences.
In other words, Zhi Ling inside the Spirit Pet Column could now see the outside scene.
Zhi Ling, watching the scene from within the Spirit Pet Column showed an excited look on its face. Even though it couldn’t smell them, it knew that these were its parents.
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, it felt both anticipation and unease.
If its parents had intentionally abandoned it, then what should it do? At this thought, it seemed to become depressed.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the expressions of the Lightning Mink couple changed instantly. Especially the female mink—seeming to have been reminded of some heartbreaking memories, she held the child in her arms even tighter, looking very desolate.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “If my words are inappropriate, you don’t have to mind them.”
The male mink heaved a sigh, transmitting a Divine Intent, “Sigh, not hiding from fellow Daoist, we did have another child before, but it didn’t inherit a hint of the Lightning Bloodline…”
Zhi Ling, inside the Spirit Pet Column, couldn’t bear to continue listening after hearing these words. It was worried that its guesses were about to become reality.
