Chapter 154

The next morning, Lin Zhangqing got up early, finished his basic cultivation, and after tidying up, began to retrieve the array disk of the Small Five Elements Illusion Array.

Then he thought of waiting for Chen Zi Ya in the living room, but didn't expect her to be there already.

That was even better. After greeting each other, the two went downstairs together to check out and get back dozens of spirit stones.

Subsequently, the two didn't dare to delay time and headed straight for the market exit. At this time, there were relatively few cultivators entering and leaving the market.

They boarded Chen Zi Ya's flying boat and flew toward the passenger ship landing field thirty miles away. Just after flying ten miles, a loud "Boom!" suddenly came from behind, followed by a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly turned his head to look, and it was actually a cultivator flying away on a sword, while behind him, three cultivators were jointly driving a spirit boat in hot pursuit.

Moreover, both sides of the chase were known to Lin Zhangqing. The one fleeing in front was Lin Zhangqing's neighbor, that young cultivator who wanted to find Lin Zhangqing to accompany him to the market.

And among the three cultivators chasing behind, one was exactly that young Bai family disciple who had had a verbal altercation with Lin Zhangqing.

At this time, both sides saw Lin Zhangqing and the other. The cultivator fleeing in front took the lead in calling for help: "Two fellow daoists in front, save me, save me! There are robber cultivators ambushing and hunting me down."

One of the pursuers also shouted loudly: "Two fellow daoists in front, please don't meddle in other people's business.

We have a grudge against him, which is why we are dealing with him; we are not robber cultivators at all. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Lin Zhangqing didn't want to get into trouble the most. He lowered his voice and shouted at that young cultivator: "Get lost! Solve your own problems yourself; don't drag us into it. If you come closer, I'll take action."

He didn't expect that young cultivator to act as if he hadn't heard Lin Zhangqing's warning, still constantly approaching and desperately trying to lean toward them.

Lin Zhangqing immediately turned to Chen Zi Ya beside him and said: "Junior Sister, don't worry! It's fine. We will immediately descend into the forest below.

Avoid them and let them fight it out themselves."

Chen Zi Ya nodded and smiled: "With Senior Brother by my side, I'm not afraid! No matter how many of these characters come, they'll all be easily dealt with by Senior Brother."

After saying this, she immediately pressed the bow of the flying boat and rushed into the forest below.

As soon as the two landed and put away the flying boat, Lin Zhangqing pulled Chen Zi Ya and ran toward the interior of the forest. Of course, he was releasing Purple Crystal Scorpions while running, and his divine sense was paying attention to the dynamics behind him.

He didn't expect that young cultivator to not fly toward the passenger ship landing field, but instead land behind them and still be approaching them, obviously determined to drag them into the water.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhangqing was furious in his heart. In his heart, he had already sentenced him to death; bringing disaster upon others, his heart was punishable.

At this time, the three Bai family cultivators also landed on the ground and approached that young cultivator.

The young cultivator was anxious and shouted again: "Two fellow daoists, I don't know them at all. This is my first time in this place; they are the robber cultivators.

I beg the two fellow daoists to join hands with me to fight these robber cultivators. After it's done, I will definitely reward the two heavily."

Among the three, it was still that same cultivator who spoke: "Thank you, two fellow daoists. We will leave after dealing with this brat. Please rest assured, two!"

Unfortunately, Lin Zhangqing didn't listen to what they were saying at all. He still pulled Chen Zi Ya to move deeper into the forest. Soon, the Purple Crystal Scorpions were all released, and the two leaned against a large tree, carefully defending themselves.

Now the two already had three defense talismans each on them, and their defensive dharma artifacts were also ready.

Lin Zhangqing held the Thunder Horn, while Chen Zi Ya held the God-Breaking Crossbow. Actually, it didn't need to be so troublesome, because the Purple Crystal Scorpion swarm had already completed the encirclement of the four of them.

However, in order to paralyze them, the necessary actions still had to be done.

And at this time, both sides had already started fighting. The young cultivator handled the attacks of three flying swords alone. Fortunately, his footwork was extraordinary; although he was flustered, he could still handle it for a short time.

Seeing that the two were still standing by and had no intention of helping at all, the young cultivator was anxious in his heart.

Regardless of anything else, now, in order to seek a glimmer of survival, he could only expose his identity.

He said directly: "I am Qi Zhanfei of the Qi family, a Purple Mansion family in Dongyang Prefecture, ranked twenty-seventh in the family. My great-grandfather is a Purple Mansion stage cultivator. I ask the two fellow daoists to help; the Qi family will definitely reward the two heavily, and might even be able to help you with Foundation Establishment!"

Hearing what this so-called Qi Zhanfei said, Lin Zhangqing and the other didn't have much feeling; they just knew he wanted to drag the two into the water.

It was the three Bai family cultivators who were already anxious in their hearts. If news leaked out this time, the Bai family would immediately be in danger of being wiped out. The three looked at each other and instantly reached a consensus.

They immediately took out twelve percent of their strength, the speed of their flying sword attacks also accelerated a bit, and one of the cultivators even took out a stack of spirit talismans, activated them, and threw them all at Qi Zhanfei.

This time, no matter how extraordinary his footwork was, it was useless. Although Qi Zhanfei tried his best to dodge, he eventually fell under the combined attack of the spirit talisman spells and flying swords.

After killing Qi Zhanfei, the three flying swords turned around in unison and attacked Lin Zhangqing and the others. They said nothing, obviously realizing the seriousness of the matter and intending to kill them to silence them.

However, Lin Zhangqing could be said to have been prepared for this situation long ago. With a thought, the Purple Crystal Scorpions immediately launched an attack.

A scream of extreme misery startled the other two, but they also quickly experienced this extreme pain.

Lin Zhangqing and the other resisted one wave of attacks from the three flying swords, and then there was no then. Chen Zi Ya's God-Breaking Crossbow was ready, but it didn't have a chance to show its power.

The three had already lost their ability to resist and all fell to the ground twitching. However, Lin Zhangqing didn't kill them immediately.

Instead, he stripped off all the equipment on their bodies, tied them up securely, and stored them separately in the spirit beast bracelet.

He also collected everything on the young cultivator named Qi Zhanfei, as well as the dharma artifacts that had fallen to the ground, and then used a fireball technique to clean up the scene.

He recalled all the Purple Crystal Scorpions, scanned the whole field with his divine sense again, and after confirming there were no omissions, the two quickly left this place and flew toward the passenger ship landing field.

From the occurrence to the end of the incident, the whole process was very fast; it hadn't even been a quarter of an hour, and the dead were dead, and the living were all captured, so it didn't delay Lin Zhangqing and the others' boarding time.

Chen Zi Ya's spirit boat flew rapidly and arrived at the passenger ship landing field without any surprises. After showing their credentials, the two successfully returned to Chen Zi Ya's room.

Both breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect that by deliberately setting off a little earlier, they would encounter such a thing instead.

"Junior Sister, let's brew a pot of Green Jade Tea first!" Lin Zhangqing said to Chen Zi Ya.

Chen Zi Ya nodded and took out the white jade tea set, while Lin Zhangqing took out a box of Green Jade Tea.

After appreciating Chen Zi Ya's tea art, the two each held a cup of spirit tea and tasted it carefully.

"How does Senior Brother plan to handle those three Bai family cultivators?" Chen Zi Ya looked at Lin Zhangqing and asked.

"How else can I handle them! Release them one by one and ask what's going on. However, the three of them clearly wanted to kill us to silence us, so I definitely can't let them go; otherwise, there will be endless trouble! I can only..."

Lin Zhangqing didn't continue, and Chen Zi Ya nodded, naturally understanding his meaning.

"Going out in the Qi Refining stage is really too dangerous. That so-called Qi Zhanfei is an example. Fortunately, I have Senior Brother accompanying and protecting me; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't dare to go out!" Chen Zi Ya sighed.

"It's fine, Junior Sister will soon reach Foundation Establishment; it will be much safer to go out in the future." Lin Zhangqing comforted.

Chen Zi Ya shook her head and said nothing more.

And at this time, the passenger ship they were on had already started to depart.

After a pot of Green Jade Tea was finished, Lin Zhangqing took his leave and returned to his room.

He still habitually checked the room, and after confirming there were no problems, he took out the array disk of the Small Five Elements Illusion Array and set it up.
