Chapter 408 Path
In the dense forest.
"Old Man Fu, you and I are both in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If we really fight to the death, it's not certain who will win. How about you just let me go and I won't take the Qinglian Water anymore? How about that?"
Xue Qing's face was gloomy as he stared coldly at the old man in front of him.
"Once our young master obtains the Qinglian Water, I will naturally not stop you from leaving."
The old man narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"..."
"Okay, you forced me to do this."
Xue Qing seemed to have noticed something, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
"Zhenyue!"
In an instant, a man and a woman who were rushing towards this side felt the spiritual power around them suddenly stagnate, and a desperate feeling of suffocation came over them.
"It's just a desperate move. What's the point?"
The old man shook his head slightly, and with a flash of his body, he instantly appeared in front of the man and woman and stopped Xue Qing's attack.
"From the Bishui Sect, this grudge will be remembered by the Guyue Sect."
In the distance, Xue Qing's face was filled with anger. After he uttered these harsh words, spiritual power burst out from under his feet. In an instant, he rushed away into the distance. In the blink of an eye, only a blurry figure was left.
"The lost dog."
The old man withdrew his gaze and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard a hurried order from behind him.
"Mr. Fu, the Qinglian Water is on that fellow Xue Qing. Stop him quickly and don't let him get away!"
……
"Sister Li, are you sure Xue Qing is nearby?"
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.
"Don't worry, he can't escape."
Li Yue opened her red lips slightly, her expression determined.
"Did they just take action and kill people to steal the treasure?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, quickly turned around, and stared at Lin Chuan with a strange look on her face.
"Is this what Xu Hanyi taught you?" Li Yue frowned slightly.
"Ah? Master never taught me that."
Lin Chuan scratched his head, looking confused.
"..."
Li Yue was silent for a moment, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes:
"She didn't tell you how she gets resources when she's away from home?"
"Master only told me that sword cultivators have their own path."
Lin Chuan scratched his head. He was not sure what the "way of sword cultivation" Xu Hanyi mentioned meant.
"..."
Li Yue was silent for a moment, her expression becoming serious. She spoke word by word, "We can't possibly do something like killing people for treasures. It's not something we would do. Do you understand?"
"Then we use coercion and inducement?"
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue tentatively, his eyes full of questions.
"How can you say that? Even if you don't have any shame, I still have it."
Li Yue gave Lin Chuan a cold look, then pulled Lin Chuan into her arms and appeared in front of a middle-aged man like a ghost.
"Damn, they're chasing me so closely, but just keep chasing me until my sect's support arrives..."
Xue Qing was secretly complaining in his heart, and did not notice that Lin Chuan and the other man appeared in front of him without any warning.
"It's now……"
Without any warning, Li Yue threw Lin Chuan in her arms towards Xue Qing.
"???"
Xue Qing noticed Lin Chuan suddenly flying towards him, and instinctively clenched his fists, preparing to punch out.
But at this moment, an invisible and overwhelming pressure rushed towards him like a tidal wave. He felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar. His limbs instantly stiffened and he could not move at all.
The next second, a veiled woman rushed out, stretched out her arms and steadily embraced the man flying towards her.
"Who are you? Why are you so harsh on my apprentice?"
Li Yue's eyebrows raised, her eyes instantly turned red, her face was full of grief and anger, and her almond-shaped eyes stared at Xue Qing, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces with her eyes.
"Senior, I don't know. I didn't do anything."
Xue Qing's forehead was covered in cold sweat and his face was as pale as paper.
"Nonsense, if you hadn't taken action, why would my disciple be so weak?"
Li Yue's brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with anger and questioning.
"But Senior's disciple doesn't look... not very weak."
Xue Qing stole a glance at Lin Chuan who was in the arms of the veiled woman, and said with a stiff upper lip.
next second.
"Cough... cough cough, Master, I feel so dizzy, am I... going to die..."
Lin Chuan's body was trembling slightly, groaning weakly, his eyes half open and half closed, his face full of pain.
"Disciple, you promised me that you would protect me from now on. Nothing must happen to you."
Li Yue looked anxious, her eyes red, and she held Lin Chuan's arms tightly with both hands. Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of worry and heartache.
"But my disciple can't even break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage now, so I can only... ahem... break my promise."
Lin Chuan's lips trembled slightly, his face full of unwillingness and helplessness, and his coughs were intermittent, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"It's okay. I'll avenge you first, and then I'll go find the Qinglian Water. Then you'll be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage."
Li Yue's eyes were firm as she gently stroked Lin Chuan's back.
"Master, Qinglian Water is a top-level water-attribute substance, very rare in the world. How can we find it just by wanting to? Don't waste your energy on it."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, a wry smile on his face, his breath weak but full of dissuasion.
"No, I must find it, even if it costs three million spirit stones!"
As Li Yue spoke, her eyes fell on Xue Qing intentionally or unintentionally.
Xue Qing: “…”
"Senior, I have Qinglian Water!"
……
After a while.
"Is this the path of sword cultivation that Master talked about?"
Lin Chuan gently stroked the porcelain bottle in his hand, his eyes full of emotion.
"You're overthinking it. Xu Hanyi won't give as many spirit stones as I do."
Li Yue shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing her understanding of Xu Hanyi.
"Then why did Sister Li give so many spirit stones?"
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue with curiosity.
"Because I have a lot of spirit stones."
Li Yue raised her chin slightly, a confident and slightly ostentatious smile on her face.
……
Outside the forest, Xue Qing was walking on the road with a depressed look on his face.
"Damn, my luck is so bad! I didn't get the item, and my apprentice died. Luckily, those two... people had some dignity and didn't just rob me."
"But this is a good thing too. Not only did I get back the spirit stones I spent, but the bastards from the Qingshui Sect also gave up. Damn it! I'll complain to the Sect Master when I get back!"
He spat fiercely and was about to return to the sect to complain when suddenly, a red shadow flew towards him at high speed.
"???"
Xue Qing suppressed the urge to punch out and stood quietly where he was.
The red shadow was extremely fast. I thought Xue Qing would make some move, but I didn't expect him to have no reaction at all. I couldn't help but pause for a moment.
However, in the next second after a brief pause, she did not hesitate at all, and fell straight towards Xue Qing, and with a "thump", she lay in front of him.
"..."
"Girl, wake up quickly, you are not allowed to sleep here."
