Chapter 299: Ever Thought You Would Die Here?

As soon as Wan Yuanqing's voice fell, the few companions beside him were all a bit worried and afraid, and his younger sister, Lin Changling, was even leaning against Lin Zhangqing in fear.

Lin Zhangqing gently patted his younger sister beside him, which counted as giving this little girl a little bit of comfort.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart; he really didn't want to use the second-rank Purple Crystal Scorpions casually.

Lin Zhangqing looked at Wan Yuanqing and said: "Senior, I can agree to your request, but I want fifty thousand spirit stones and a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Wan Yuanqing, upon hearing this, couldn't help but show a mocking expression and looked Lin Zhangqing up and down.

He then said: "Originally, on the territory of the Qingyun Sect, I wanted to give Yunxia Zhenren of the Qingyun Sect some face, but since you are so greedy, I don't need to be polite with you! Now, voluntarily transfer those purple spirit scorpions to me, and I will spare the lives of you six!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhangqing was actually somewhat prepared in his heart. The fifty thousand spirit stones or Foundation Establishment Pill he mentioned earlier were probably just to test Lin Zhangqing.

Nodding, Lin Zhangqing looked at Wan Yuanqing earnestly and said: "Senior Wan, can I ask you a question?"

Wan Yuanqing raised an eyebrow but still said: "If you want to ask, then ask! Whether I answer you or not depends on my mood!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, stared into his eyes, and asked: "Senior Wan, you traveled thousands of miles to travel; have you ever thought that you would die here?"

"What?" Wan Yuanqing just wanted to question what Lin Zhangqing meant, but clearly, Lin Zhangqing had already answered him with practical action.

From ten different directions, ten purple light rays launched an attack from a distance of sixty or seventy zhang.

When Wan Yuanqing appeared, he didn't have any defensive measures, but he believed that he should be able to handle this kind of small scene.

Moreover, he was wearing a top-grade defensive spiritual artifact that could automatically defend against various surprise attacks.

Besides, facing a few little Qi Refining cultivators, he couldn't bring himself to appear with several layers of defensive shields, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

But it was precisely because of this self-confidence and the behavior of caring too much about face that cost him his life. The three layers of defensive shields automatically activated by the top-grade defensive spiritual artifact barely neutralized three purple light rays.

The remaining seven purple light rays all shot onto his body, two of which hit his head, and the remaining five hit his body.

At a distance of sixty or seventy zhang, and being soul and light attribute ray-type attacks, the speed was simply too fast! Wan Yuanqing basically couldn't react. Even with the three-layer shield activated by the top-grade defensive spiritual artifact, it didn't buy him enough reaction time.

He was shot into a sieve directly in the air and died as dead could be. With a "thud," he fell to the ground.

Such a big change suddenly happened on the scene, and the companions were all stunned, unable to react at all for a moment.

It was Lin Zhangqing who calmly said: "What are you all still stunned for? Clean up the battlefield immediately! We need to leave here quickly!"

The companions then woke up as if from a dream, forcibly calmed their inner excitement and agitation, and acted one after another.

And Lin Zhangqing himself was not idle either. He walked over, carefully tied up the only live captive, and then stuffed him into a spirit beast bag.

Then he went to the place where Wan Yuanqing fell, collected the storage bag on his body, the three spirit beasts, the equipment on his body, and the top-grade spiritual flying sword that had fallen, and put them all away.

He specifically found a storage bag to pack his corpse, including the blood spilled on the ground. Lin Zhangqing used his divine sense to search carefully within a range of twenty or thirty zhang.

Lin Zhangqing collected everything related to Wan Yuanqing, including tiny flesh tissues, and even blood spilled on leaves, and he even scraped off a layer of the ground.

Anyway, after searching carefully several times with his divine sense and eyes, he wanted to ensure that no one could find any useful clues here.

If the news of killing Wan Yuanqing leaked out, the tiny Lin family wouldn't be able to withstand the anger of the Yuling Sect.

While Lin Zhangqing was doing these things, the companions were not idle either; they had already cleaned up the battlefield. Lin Zhangqing specifically checked twice more to confirm there were no problems before recalling all the first-rank Purple Crystal Scorpions through the contract, then pretending to circle the perimeter, and secretly recalling all the second-rank Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Then he took everyone away from here on the boat.

When leaving, he was still worried, so he had everyone use Fireball charms to bombard the place where Wan Yuanqing fell, including the surrounding twenty-zhang range, once more to ensure nothing went wrong before leaving with peace of mind.

Everyone's emotions on the flying boat were quite agitated; after all, they had killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he was a cultivator from a major sect like the Yuling Sect.

After flying for a while, Lin Zhangqing saw that everyone's emotions had calmed down.

He then said: "I know everyone is very excited and agitated now, but I have some things to say that relate to our safety and the safety of the family.

Regarding these three groups of people we encountered today, everyone must unify their story: we only encountered two groups of rogue cultivators; that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yuling Sect must not be acknowledged, even if beaten to death.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a major sect like the Yuling Sect goes out to travel and has informed the sect of his general direction in advance, and suddenly dies,

the sect behind him will definitely send someone to investigate the cause. If he has a powerful background, they might even send a higher-cultivated Purple Mansion cultivator to investigate.

Therefore, from now on, let's not mention this matter again; just pretend nothing ever happened.

Don't mention this person again in the future, and don't let anyone know, including our parents, elders, and the Clan Leader.

It's best to completely forget this person from now on. After all, the Yuling Sect is a behemoth to our family, an existence we cannot resist.

You wouldn't want to see Nine Peaks Mountain trampled by Yuling Sect cultivators one day, and your clansmen and relatives killed mercilessly, would you? So, including me, everyone must take a Dao Heart Great Oath to ensure that no one will inadvertently leak this matter. Let's start with me now!"

After saying this, he began to take the oath, "With Heaven and Earth as witness, the Great Dao..."

Hearing the content of the oath Lin Zhangqing took, everyone followed suit, just changing the name. After everyone had taken the Dao Heart Great Oath, Lin Zhangqing felt relieved.

This way, as long as they didn't deliberately want to reveal those contents, just inadvertently wanting to mention them, they would receive a warning from the Dao Heart Great Oath in the dark.

Nodding, he continued: "Looking at the words he said just now, I estimate that the things in that unlucky guy's storage bag should be quite a lot.

But we cannot take out most of the things inside to use; maybe only spirit stones and some pills can be used.

As for the other things, I will find a place to destroy them all, including the equipment on his body, as well as the three spirit beast bags and the spirit beasts inside."

Lin Changjie said at this time: "Ninth Brother is absolutely right. We don't need to covet these little things and bring the danger of extermination to the family."

The companions also understood this principle and all nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhangqing was very gratified that all his companions were people who could consider the overall situation, so he continued: "Now we are on the flying boat, the place is too small, and it's not convenient.

For those two groups of people, a total of ten rogue cultivators, everyone should hand over the things on their bodies to Changlian! Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather in my courtyard on Aoyun Peak, and then we will distribute these things."

Hearing about distributing spoils, the companions were all beaming with joy and agreed one after another.

Everyone had experience with this once before, and it was the same in the past, so everyone automatically handed over the spoils collected on the battlefield just now to Lin Changlian.

Lin Zhangqing also handed over everything on the captive, but the things of that Foundation Establishment cultivator remained in his hands.
