Chapter 457: People in the Jianghu, unable to control their own fate

So he prepared to give this spirit beast bracelet to Chen Zi Ya; after all, she was still using a spirit beast bag, and this kind of spirit beast bracelet was not very common.

Of course, since this thing was a spoil of war, there were definitely others who would recognize it, so it could not be used for the time being!

He would have to wait until he returned to find Hu Yunna to help change the appearance of this spirit tool, and then there would be no problems!

Now, inside this spirit beast bracelet, there were still the corpses of three demonic beasts, which should all be the native spirit beasts of that Spirit-Controlling Sect cultivator.

It was a pity that none of them were speed-type spirit beasts; no wonder he didn't release them to help when hunting the three-colored deer.

Now that their master had died and fallen, these spirit beasts had all suffered a backlash and died inside the spirit beast bracelet.

Lin Zhangqing took them all out, so he gained three more demonic cores.

Subsequently, he began to refine the remaining storage bags and spirit beast bags, and poured out the things inside.

After counting, he harvested over two thousand low-grade spirit stones and over seven hundred mid-grade spirit stones, as well as over fifty bottles of pills.

Among them, second-stage spirit-nurturing pills accounted for over thirty bottles; Lin Zhangqing specifically collected these separately, as he also had a special need for this kind of pill, and the consumption was very large because he often fed them to his own spirit beasts.

The rest were all commonly used pills, nothing special; in terms of spirit tools, he also harvested ten pieces, but they were all relatively ordinary, and Lin Zhangqing didn't see anything he liked.

However, inside a jade box, he found fifteen demonic cores, and there were also two storage bags filled with the corpses of demonic beasts.

They should have had the same plan as Lin Zhangqing; these demonic beast corpses should have been prepared to be kept as rations for the spirit beasts.

After collecting their cracked body jade tokens, there was nothing left; they were all daily necessities, clothing, and sundries.

There were also a few jade slips, but he was too lazy to look at them now, because there definitely wouldn't be anything good.

So he simply threw them together with the original ones, and would deal with them slowly when he had time; anyway, he had no interest in looking at them now.

He collected the sorted items by category; spirit objects with marks were all left in the inner space.

Subsequently, he took Lu Youqiang and Lu Youguang and left the inner space, returning to the Maze Array.

He communicated with Chen Zi Ya for a while using the Phoenix-Tail Conch, exchanged the situations they had encountered, and only after confirming that both were safe did he end the call.

Then, Lin Zhangqing took out the No-Thought Jade Cushion and began to cultivate the Thunder True Scripture.

Early the next morning, after Lin Zhangqing packed everything up, he used the Heart-Tethering Pendant to confirm the approximate distance between them.

Then he set off immediately; he was very happy that he would be able to rendezvous with Chen Zi Ya today.

Thus, he released Chuyi, put on the light gauze magic treasure, and after identifying the direction, he set off! He had already decided on today's itinerary: no matter what happened, he would try his best not to delay time, and would avoid taking action if possible, so as not to affect his plan to rendezvous with Chen Zi Ya.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes; three hours passed, and along the way, he avoided three or four cultivators and two relatively large groups of demonic beasts.

But at this moment, he actually saw a male cultivator surnamed Li from the Chengxia Peak lineage being chased by a cultivator from the Ghost-Controlling Sect.

People from the Ghost-Controlling Sect wore black clothes all over, which was really too easy to identify; he was in a bit of a dilemma now. If he had known earlier, he would have changed direction slightly when Chuyi gave the warning; if he hadn't encountered this situation, he wouldn't have to be in a dilemma! Now there was no other way; people in the Jianghu, unable to control their own fate, he still had to give face to Great-Grandmother and several Uncle-Masters.

But if he wanted to save him, he definitely couldn't expose the purple crystal scorpions or the fact that he knew thunder techniques.

If he used ordinary means, he might really not be able to beat these guys who played with ghosts; after thinking it over, he finally decided.

He wouldn't show himself; he would chase after them and give that Ghost-Controlling Sect guy a hit with the Thunder Horn, just to support that cultivator surnamed Li.

As long as he did that, he would leave directly; no matter the result, whether he lived or died, he had done his best, and the rest would be up to the cultivator surnamed Li himself.

Having made up his mind, he immediately adjusted his direction; at this moment, the two had already passed not far from him.

And they had already flown a distance of more than one or two li; both were at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and their flying speed was still very fast.

Lin Zhangqing was covered in the light gauze magic treasure, following them invisibly; after chasing desperately for two quarters of an hour, he finally entered the suitable attack range.

Subsequently, he didn't hesitate; he locked on with his spiritual sense, flipped his hand, and the Thunder Horn appeared in his hand, and three Geng Metal Divine Thunders shot directly toward the Ghost-Controlling Sect cultivator.

They were separated by a distance of more than three hundred zhang, and the movement of the Geng Metal Divine Thunder was quite large, so the two people in front were both given a big fright.

Especially that Ghost-Controlling Sect cultivator, who shouted out loud; fortunately, he was left with two or three breaths of reaction time.

Subsequently, he desperately urged the defensive spirit tool in his hand, and feeling it wasn't safe enough, he quickly wiped his storage bag and took out another upper-grade defensive spirit tool.

It was a pity that there wasn't enough time for him to urge it to the extreme before the divine thunder reached him!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The three layers of defensive spirit talismans on his body, as well as the upper-grade defensive spirit tool, all exploded, and the person fell directly from the flying sword.

Fortunately, when he realized he was being attacked, he had already started to lower his altitude, so falling from a height of more than one or two zhang wasn't fatal! However, contrary to Lin Zhangqing's expectations, that cultivator surnamed Li saw that he wasn't the one being attacked, so he didn't stop at all.

He just accelerated and rushed out regardless, clearly having no intention of staying to see what was going on.

It left Lin Zhangqing speechless; he immediately put a cross on that person in his heart; anyway, if he encountered danger again in the future, Lin Zhangqing would definitely not pay attention to him.

The cultivator surnamed Li ran away, but that Ghost-Controlling Sect cultivator stayed in place, and took out defensive spirit talismans and an upper-grade defensive spirit tool from his storage bag again.

He also released five spirit ghosts, surrounding himself tightly; clearly, he was on full alert, fearing another surprise attack.

After searching carefully with his spiritual sense and finding nothing, he finally spoke: "Which fellow Daoist is here? Please come out and meet!"

Lin Zhangqing saw that the cultivator surnamed Li had already flown seven or eight li away, and waited for a while until he was out of sight.
