Chapter 312: Betraying the Master
This scene immediately shocked everyone!
However, Zhou Yi, whose body had already dissipated by half, showed no sign of surprise. Instead, his gaze was calm as he looked at the female corpse.
"Tinger, don't be reckless, go back!"
"You will not die…" A strange voice suddenly and slowly drifted out from within the female corpse.
At this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the sky. The fragment layer above, under the female corpse's single sentence, immediately collapsed, crumbling amidst a series of banging sounds.
Endless hurricanes descended from the sky, and the earth immediately cracked open with countless fissures amidst a series of cracking sounds.
The female corpse slowly opened her eyes.
"Bang." "Bang."
The instant she opened her eyes, the earth shattered with a roar. This shattering was not limited to this layer; the two overlapping Immortal Realm fragment layers below also collapsed simultaneously.
Wang Lin's eyes revealed shock. He retreated rapidly without the slightest hesitation. It wasn't just him; Chi Hu also had an expression of disbelief.
Only the Corpse Yin Sect's Grand Elder had a flash of brilliance in his eyes, but it seemed he remembered something, and it immediately turned into deep fear.
"Sword of Rain, emerge!"
A beam of golden light suddenly flashed out from the depths of the shattered ground, from countless layers below. Before this golden light even approached, Wang Lin immediately felt a powerful Sword Intent rushing towards him.
The female corpse stepped forward and grabbed the golden light. Suddenly, a sword hum that shocked the heavens, pierced through the void, and spread across all the fragments of the Immortal Realm rang out.
The female corpse grasped the golden light and pointed her jade finger at Zhou Yi, who had already burned up to his chest. Instantly, Zhou Yi's Primordial Spirit was sucked into the golden light.
"You have guarded this monarch for over two thousand years; you have rendered meritorious service! I confer upon you the title of Immortal Sword Soul. After being nourished for ten thousand years, you shall be ranked among the Immortal Venerables!"
She turned her head and looked at Wang Lin and the others with indifference. Her gaze finally landed on Wang Lin. After looking at him carefully, she pointed her jade finger at the Pagoda. The tower immediately shrank and flew towards Wang Lin.
Afterward, she moved, and the golden light in her hand transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang golden Dragon. With a roar, it carried her through the Rift in the sky and flew into the void.
At this moment, on all the fragments of the Immortal Realm, every Cultivator, regardless of what they were doing, immediately turned pale with shock upon hearing this sword hum.
Even those fighting for their lives could not help but stop.
On a fragment at the very center of the Immortal Realm, a scholar in green robes suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock as he muttered to himself, "The Rain Immortal Sword! That's right, only the Rain Immortal Sword could possess such momentum. I just don't know which strike this is…"
A strange light appeared in his eyes. He moved, quickly ascending into the sky. He closed his eyes to sense the distance for a moment, then his body moved as fast as thunder, speeding toward the source of the sword hum.
In the northwest of the Immortal Realm, on a fragment, an old man in purple robes looked up at the sky with a shocked expression. He pondered for a moment, then without a word, stomped his foot and ascended into the sky.
"Is it the Rain Immortal Sword… If my Great Luo Sword Sect possessed this, our strength would definitely increase many times over. I possess an Immortal Beast; I can use it to enter the Immortal Sword and replace the Immortal Sword Soul to control this sword!"
He ascended to high altitude, and suddenly, a massive Qilin with two horns on its head flashed into existence in mid-air. The man leaped and stepped onto the Qilin's head. The Qilin shook its Big Head, and two streams of white Qi sprayed from its nostrils. The moment this white Qi appeared, the fragment here collapsed with a roar.
A large number of Rifts appeared, and the ground shattered one after another. Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding void began to devour everything. However, this void had no effect on the old man. The Qilin roared and dove into the void, disappearing from sight.
Back to Wang Lin: the fragment he was on had completely collapsed above and below. Chi Hu was already stunned, his face filled with panic.
"Chi Hu! The Star Compass!" Wang Lin shouted.
The Rifts in the sky connected into a single sheet, and the earth had already turned into void. This massive mouth of void was constantly devouring, whistling as it approached.
Chi Hu immediately snapped out of it. Without a word, he took the Star Compass out from his Storage Pouch and threw it forward.
This Compass was already severely damaged. The moment it appeared, another crack opened on it. But at this moment, there was no time to care about that. Chi Hu rushed forward and landed in the center position.
Wang Lin's body landed almost at the same time as him. He still chose the eastern part.
As for Sun Tai, he took a deep look at the place where the female corpse had disappeared, then flashed and sat cross-legged beside Wang Lin.
"The Star Compass, one of the great treasures of the Giant Demon Race. It is a pity that it is a defective product," Sun Tai said calmly.
Chi Hu smiled bitterly. He gritted his teeth and controlled it. The Compass turned into a bolt of lightning and charged into the void.
"Ceng Niu, this void is extremely dangerous. This Compass is too damaged to travel very far. If you agree to undo the Seal, I can guarantee your safe return to the Vermilion Bird Star. How about it?" Sun Tai's eyes flashed as he stared at Wang Lin and said.
The earlier address of "Master" was only because Zhou Yi was present, forcing him to put on an act. Now that Zhou Yi was dead, how could a mere Nascent Soul Transformation Middle Stage Cultivator be willing to be a slave? To him, this was a humiliation worse than death!
He now wished he could kill Wang Lin with his own hands and refine him into a dried corpse alive.
"You don't need to answer in a hurry. I won't have you undo the Seal for nothing. I will give you two Soul Transformation Late Stage Puppets. With them, your future safety will be guaranteed. Moreover, I can also give you Cultivation Technique. Tell me, whatever Cultivation Technique you want, I will find a way to get it for you.
In addition, I also have Immortal Pill and miraculous medicines. As long as you agree to undo the Seal, everything is negotiable!" Sun Tai said slowly.
Wang Lin glanced at Sun Tai, his gaze calm, and said, "Given Senior's cultivation, naturally you would not be willing to be someone's slave. I understand this. However, as for this method of undoing the Seal, not to mention that I don't know it now, even if I did, it would be impossible to undo it immediately."
Sun Tai frowned and coldly shouted, "Junior, do you really think you are the master!"
Wang Lin's expression remained normal, and he shook his head, "That was a gift from Senior Zhou Yi, not what I think. Besides, does Senior really take me for a child? I fear the first thing you would do after undoing the Seal would be to kill me."
Sun Tai's expression was gloomy as he stared at Wang Lin. After a long while, he suddenly laughed, but this laughter was filled with coldness.
"Tell me, what will it take for you to undo the Seal?"
Wang Lin shook his head and smiled, "I do not know the method to undo the Seal, so how can I undo it?"
Sun Tai stood up abruptly and stared at Wang Lin, saying word by word, "Junior, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. As the Grand Elder of the Corpse Yin Sect on the Vermilion Bird Star, a Nascent Soul Transformation Cultivator, even if I die, I will never be controlled by others, let alone by you, a junior I could kill with a flick of my fingers!
Moreover, don't think that with a single thought, you can cause my death. I might as well tell you that I don't just have a third soul; I have four souls. This Fourth Soul is precisely within the corpse Puppet in my coffin. You can cause the Primordial Spirit of this body to shatter, but the moment it shatters, my Fourth Soul will also kill you!"
Wang Lin smiled slightly, his eyes showing clarity as he said, "What Senior says likely has another purpose; it is not just about the path to undoing the Seal. You already know in your heart that this is not a Seal I can undo at all."
Sun Tai stared at Wang Lin, looked at him carefully for a few moments, and said, "Good, you are worthy of being the person chosen by Zhou Yi. Your wit is indeed extraordinary. I will find the method to undo the Seal myself, but before that, you must come with me. I will imprison you in a place first, so that I can be at ease! But you don't need to worry; I swear, after the Seal is undone, I will definitely compensate you."
Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he said loudly, "Sun Tai, I wonder if I were to die, whether your third soul would be affected."
"Rest assured, I won't let you die!" Sun Tai sneered and reached out with a large hand, grabbing directly toward Wang Lin.
"The Slave Seal is unstable; the Pagoda can restrain it!" This was the last sentence Zhou Yi transmitted to Wang Lin the moment before he dissipated.
Wang Lin's gaze was calm as he looked at Sun Tai, not dodging. Just as Sun Tai's hand reached out to grab him, a white light emerged from Wang Lin's Storage Pouch. Immediately after, the Pagoda flew up, and the white light instantly spread in all directions.
Within this white light existed a trace of Zhou Yi's Soul Transformation stage infatuation Concept!
Sun Tai let out a miserable grunt, his body immediately retreating.
Wang Lin's eyes flashed. Zhou Yi only said the Pagoda could restrain Sun Tai, but he didn't say that Sun Tai also had a Fourth Soul. He didn't know if this was true or false, but right now, he could not let the other party see any flaws.
Thinking of this, he stomped his foot and rushed out holding the Pagoda. His eyes revealed a strange light, and he sneered, "Sun Tai, the Concept on this Pagoda can only obstruct others and causes no harm, but specifically for you, it is something Senior Zhou Yi secretly acted upon, specifically designed to restrain you!"
Sun Tai's expression was gloomy. The Concept on the Pagoda caused him great harm. He knew this was because of the Slave Seal placed within his body.
His body kept retreating.
Wang Lin kept moving forward, his face cold, and shouted, "If it were other sects, I might not know, but I am extremely familiar with this Corpse Yin Sect. The corpse Puppet in that coffin cannot possibly be your Fourth Soul! If I am not mistaken, that corpse Puppet is likely the soul of someone else. Even if you truly have a Fourth Soul, it must be a remnant soul!"
Sun Tai's expression was ugly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Wang Lin laughed, his eyes bright as he stepped forward and shouted, "Sun Tai, do you really think I dare not try! With Senior Zhou Yi's cultivation, how could he leave behind such an unstable root of trouble for me! With a single thought of mine, you will surely die! Even if there is a remnant soul, Senior Zhou Yi would have already accounted for it! It is just that I consider your cultivation was not easy to attain and did not wish to kill you, but now that you dare to betray your master, you deserve to be killed!"
Sun Tai's eyes flickered. Although he couldn't see any flaws on the surface, deep down, he couldn't help but feel a sliver of doubt. Indeed, with Zhou Yi's cultivation, how could he leave behind a root of trouble for this junior?
Could it be that Zhou Yi, unknowingly, had calculated all of his tricks?
Sun Tai's heart trembled.
"Sun Tai, do you remember that female corpse in white? She gave me this Pagoda before she left. Can you not see the meaning behind it!" Wang Lin's voice grew louder, filled with a majestic Aura. At this moment, he held the Pagoda in his hand, stepped forward, his Aura like a rainbow.
Sun Tai, moved by this series of words from Wang Lin, had already become fearful and retreated again!
(Not satisfied… still not satisfied, my head is splitting. Fellow Daoists, please bear with these two chapters. The two-day burst this week will not be affected, rest assured.)
