Chapter 609: Please, Immortal Binding Net

Chapter 609: Please, Immortal Binding Net… “An Immortal Qilin!” The short old man’s heart sank when he saw Wang Lin release a Qilin, and he became even more uncertain when he saw the Qilin’s gaze.

Looking at the rapidly approaching Immortal Grains, they all trembled the moment the Qilin appeared, as if they had encountered a natural predator. They let out sharp, trembling cries and, without hesitation, immediately turned to flee.

Not only the Immortal Grains in the sky, but even the Cultivators on the ground were trembling, as if enduring immense pain. Blue Patterns appeared on their foreheads, rapidly shrinking into a ball and condensing into a single point.

Seeing the Immortal Grains about to escape, the Qilin snorted an invisible Qi from its nostrils and let out a roar. This sound seemed to contain a peculiar power, causing all the surrounding Immortal Grains to tremble and dare not run.

With a stomp of its four hooves, the Qilin arrived beside the Immortal Grains in mid-air. With a single inhalation, all the Immortal Grains were sucked into the Qilin’s mouth, transforming into a highly nourishing Qi for Immortal Beasts.

This scene left the short old man dumbfounded.

The Qilin licked its lips with its tongue, and its massive head swayed before it fixed its gaze on the blue clusters on the foreheads of the Cultivators on the ground. Clearly, it was not full.

The short old man’s face turned grim, and he quickly took out another item from his Storage Pouch. It was a brush, crystal clear throughout, but its tip was white, as if it had never been stained with ink.

The moment this item appeared, it immediately exuded an aura of majesty! Under this majesty, even the Qilin couldn’t help but show surprise in its eyes.

After taking it out, he glared ferociously at Wang Lin and shouted, “Wang Lin, you know about Immortal Grains, but do you recognize what’s in this old man’s hand?!”

Wang Lin’s gaze sharpened, but he said nothing. Instead, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and the God-Slaying Chariot immediately flew out and landed beside him. After truly inheriting this chariot, its drawback of slow activation time had disappeared.

“I suppose you don’t know this item. Let me tell you, this item was with me when I was in the Immortal Realm back then, and I used it to enlighten Lower Realm Cultivators! I truly cherish your cultivation, so why don’t you get lost immediately? If you’re too slow, I might just have to make a move!” the short old man roared.

Wang Lin looked at the old man and slowly said, “You don’t need to tell me to leave repeatedly. I long ago saw that although you claim to be at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, you, like those Immortal Guards, have no primal energy within you!”

The short old man’s biggest secret was exposed by Wang Lin in a single sentence. He became enraged out of shame, waved the brush in his hand forward, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and with a flick of the brush tip, directly drew a rune.

The moment this rune appeared, a vast power emanated from it.

For the first time, Wang Lin’s eyes showed surprise, but this surprise instantly turned into fervent desire!

He stared intently at the rune, his gaze moving to the brush. The fervor in his eyes was immediately replaced by an unimaginable delight!

Wang Lin was not unfamiliar with this rune; it was exactly the same as the rune he encountered on the Dragon Venerate Path outside the Immortal Mansion!

He had studied this rune many times, but after drawing it, it had no Divine Ability whatsoever, and he had never been able to achieve the astonishing effect it had when he fused the four brushes back then. This was a regret in his heart.

But now, seeing this rune again in the short old man’s hand, although it was just a single stroke, it was genuinely drawn and possessed powerful might!

Wang Lin’s gaze made the short old man’s heart tremble. He was not unfamiliar with this gaze; the Qilin had shown almost the exact same look when it saw the Immortal Grains he threw out.

Just then, an unprecedented Battle Intent surged from Wang Lin’s body since he entered this place. He pointed at the God-Slaying Chariot and shouted, “Thunder Beast!”

Suddenly, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky. Streaks of lightning descended from the heavens, directly striking the God-Slaying Chariot. At the same time, amidst the lightning, the Thunder Beast, with silver horns on its head and a body like a Qilin, materialized.

The moment it appeared, it immediately roared to the sky, its voice piercing the clouds, actually triggering rumbling heavenly thunder. The entire sky was instantly enveloped by streaks of lightning.

Just then, the Qilin beside it also immediately roared. Although its voice lacked the might of the Thunder Beast, it was not weak. This roar actually shook the blue clusters from the foreheads of all the surrounding Cultivators, transforming them into strands of blue silk that were directly swallowed by the Qilin.

At this moment, the rune drawn by the brush also flashed out, heading straight for Wang Lin.

Just at this instant, the Thunder Beast let out a low growl, and with a step forward, streaks of heavenly thunder instantly descended from the sky, actually forming a shocking scene like an electric rain. A series of lightning bolts rumbled down from the heavens, all striking the rune.

Although this rune was extremely powerful, the short old man seemed to only know this one stroke and couldn’t unleash the rune’s true power. He watched helplessly as the rune gradually collapsed under the continuous barrage of lightning!

After a moment of stunned silence, the short old man’s body trembled. He was afraid. Without another word, he turned and ran!

For hundreds of years, ever since a fortuitous encounter, he had been lording over others, controlling a large number of Cultivators with Immortal Grains. But he was cautious, even timid, and never provoked Cultivators above Soul Transformation or Demon Commanders.

His timidity was innate. Although his strength had reached Great Perfection of the Late Stage Nascent Soul Transformation very early, he didn’t have the slightest courage to break through to Soul Transformation.

He was afraid of death!

However, this caution was gradually forgotten after his Immortal Guard count reached ten. He began to frequently make moves, continuously capturing Cultivators to fuse them with broken jade, hoping to cultivate more Immortal Guard-level experts.

“What is the background of this damned Wang Lin? How can he be so strong? Damn it, if I can escape this calamity, I’ll definitely crush that Cultivator who sent back information about this person from Ancient Demon City!!” The short old man cursed frantically as he fled.

Wang Lin’s eyes showed intense fervor. Even if he had to exhaust all his Immortal power, he absolutely could not let this short old man escape. His eyes were bloodshot at this moment, but this redness was not caused by slaughter; rather, it was stirred by the Magic Treasure on the old man.

In Wang Lin’s eyes, this old man was simply a mobile treasure trove. Wang Lin was very puzzled as to why, with such Magic Treasures on him, no one had come to rob him for so many years.

He didn’t know that the short old man’s timidity and caution had only gradually faded in recent decades. Previously, when this old man captured Cultivators, he often chose lone Disciples from small Schools. Only recently did he dare to act against some large Schools. Capturing the Blue-line Disciples of the Tian Yun Sect was an extremely bold move by this short old man.

Although this short old man’s cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, it was similarly enhanced by special methods. Thus, against some weaker Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivators, this person could still fight, but against a Cultivator like Wang Lin who could contend with a true Middle Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, he was insignificant!

Furthermore, although his Magic Treasures were strong, he could barely use any of them effectively, only knowing the superficial aspects. Their power, if he could unleash even one percent, was already the limit.

The short old man fled rapidly. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the years before his fortuitous encounter, when he was still a Late Stage Nascent Soul Transformation Cultivator being pursued by powerful experts.

In his indignant heart, he maliciously cursed Wang Lin, but immediately, a black light whistled from behind him. The old man quickly used the brush in his hand to draw a rune, blocking Wang Lin’s Divine Ability.

Then he stomped his right foot fiercely, and his entire body immediately erupted in a thick blaze of fire. The fire instantly extinguished, but his figure vanished.

The red light in Wang Lin’s eyes grew thicker and thicker. Although this short old man’s other abilities were poor, his escape Divine Abilities were endless. In half an hour, this person had already used no less than ten Divine Abilities that even made Wang Lin pause in surprise.

Now, this was the eleventh escape Divine Ability, completely different from the previous ones!

Wang Lin sneered, his body flickered as he teleported out, and his Divine Sense swept across, immediately discovering the short old man’s figure thirty thousand li away.

The old man’s fiery aura dissipated, and he was flying rapidly. Suddenly, a bitter expression appeared on his face. In the distance ahead of him, Wang Lin’s figure directly stepped out of the Void Realm, heading straight for him.

The old man showed hesitation, then gritted his teeth and suddenly threw the brush in his hand into the distance. The brush landed in the Void Realm, creating ripples that actually penetrated the void, seemingly about to escape into the void.

After throwing the brush, the old man immediately formed hand seals. Suddenly, a golden aura burst from his body, enveloping him entirely, and he immediately shot out, his speed a hundred times faster than before!

“Wang Lin, that Immortal Brush is a true Immortal item. If it falls into the Void Realm, it will be difficult for you to find it again!” The short old man’s voice slowly drifted from afar.

Wang Lin’s expression was normal. He grabbed his Storage Pouch with his right hand, and the Immortal Sword and black curved saber flew out. Xu Ligou materialized from it. Without waiting for Wang Lin’s command, he already knew his master’s intention. After a proud roar, he coiled around the Black Saber and excitedly shouted, “Little Black, speed! Speed! Catch that brush for me!”

The Black Saber flashed, losing its shadow, and carrying Xu Ligou directly pursued into the void.

Wang Lin stepped forward, unleashing the Great Shift technique, and pursued the short old man.

As the old man fled, he sensed Wang Lin pursuing him again and immediately cried out in despair, shouting in his heart, “He… what does he want? I’ve already thrown away my Immortal Brush, why is he still not letting me go?!”

In his Divine Sense, he detected Wang Lin rapidly approaching at an extremely fast speed. The old man gritted his teeth again, slapped his Storage Pouch, and took out a net shimmering with blue light.

“Compared to the Soul Locking Brush, my control over this Immortal Binding Net is even weaker. I’ve never used this net in battle before. Please, Immortal Binding Net, this time, you… you must recognize the enemy! I saved you back then, and our encounter is a kind of fate, isn’t it? This time, please don’t bind me!” The short old man muttered to himself. He was extremely reluctant to use this Immortal Binding Net unless absolutely necessary. In his opinion, this net was too strange.

Ever since he obtained it, he had used it once when no one was around, wanting to see its power, but unexpectedly, the net actually bound him. He was bound for three days.

After that, he hesitated for a long time. Unwilling to give up, he tremblingly used it again, but the result was that he bound himself for another three days. Only on the third use did it bind a piece of wood he was experimenting with.
