Chapter 610: Bind Him! (First update of May, requesting monthly votes!)

The short old man wore a look of sorrow. Holding the Immortal Binding Net, he simply stopped running and stood rooted to the spot. He understood clearly that he was merely a hollow shell at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, and compared to Wang Lin, who possessed his own Dao Concept and had truly reached the Soul Transformation cultivation level, escaping would likely be too difficult.

Being captured by the opponent was only a matter of time.

He might as well take a gamble. If this Immortal Binding Net was in a good mood and bound Wang Lin for three days, Wang Lin definitely wouldn't be able to catch him in that time if he chose to flee. If he didn't flee, capturing Wang Lin and using some medicinal supplements might allow him to refine Wang Lin into a true Low Grade Immortal Guard, as recorded on the Jade Slip!

Thinking of the power of the Low Grade Immortal Guard recorded on that mysterious Jade Slip, the short old man couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The Immortal Guards he had refined were actually defective products and did not conform to the records on the mysterious Jade Slip at all. The Jade Slip once stated that refining a Nascent Soul Transformation stage Cultivator into an Immortal Guard had an extremely slim chance of success.

For Soul Transformation Cultivators, the success rate would increase slightly, but it was still very low. Only for Cultivators who were at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Soul Transformation could the success rate reach one in ten thousand.

Of course, there were exceptions. Cultivators who possessed their own Dao Concept could also achieve a success rate of one in ten thousand.

With this thought in mind, the old man gripped the Immortal Binding Net. Within a few breaths, Wang Lin stepped out from the Void Realm in front of the old man.

The moment he appeared, the old man roared, and the Immortal Binding Net in his hand flew out, instantly expanding infinitely, seeming to become the sky above the heavens and the earth beneath the ground!

Wang Lin's Divine Sense had already noticed the net in the old man's hand. Due to his cautious nature, he secretly analyzed that this old man's Magic Treasure was extraordinary. The fact that the man stopped fleeing after taking out this Magic Treasure showed that the old man was full of confidence in its power.

Although he didn't know why the opponent hadn't taken out this treasure earlier, Wang Lin's vigilance was instantly aroused. The moment he appeared, he compressed countless Teleportation Divine Abilities beneath his feet; with just a thought, he could forcefully penetrate and move to any surrounding location.

He saw the Immortal Binding Net merge with the heaven and earth. A beam of green light flashed out from the sky, and at the same time, a beam of green light flashed out from the ground. These two beams of green light suddenly rushed forth, constantly converging toward each other.

"Bind him, bind him, bind him!!" The short old man looked completely deranged, staring intently at the green light. His words escalated from mumbling to frantic roaring.

"Bind him!! You must bind him!!" The old man's face was flushed red, his fists were clenched, and veins were bulging on his face.

Wang Lin let out a cold snort. This green light was too strange; when his Divine Sense swept over it, he couldn't penetrate it. Given Wang Lin's caution, he immediately moved his thoughts, preparing to use a Great Teleportation to avoid the green light.

But right at that moment, the green light covering the heaven and earth suddenly accelerated, rapidly contracting at an unimaginable speed… only… its target was not Wang Lin… but the short old man who looked utterly frantic.

The old man's face turned pale, and he quickly retreated, repeatedly saying, "Don't bind me… don't bind me… don't bind me… I saved you, you can't bind me… please don't bind me, I beg you, Immortal Binding Net, spare my life…"

While Wang Lin was stunned, the green light flashed and instantly enveloped the short old man. The old man's body flickered, and fire erupted all over him as he tried to escape, but the fire immediately vanished the moment it appeared.

The old man looked sorrowful and cursed loudly, "You traitorous Immortal Binding Net, you only bind me, never the enemy!" As he spoke, golden light emerged from his body, but it disappeared instantly.

"Your original master must have been killed by you!!" The bitterness in the old man's heart was beyond words. He continuously unleashed Divine Abilities, but despite performing over ten completely different types of escaping Divine Abilities within the net, none had any effect. He could only watch helplessly as the green light completely submerged him.

The green light dissipated, turning into the Immortal Binding Net, which shimmered faintly blue-green. It had bound the short old man so tightly that he couldn't move even a single finger. Furthermore, the Immortal Binding Net directly delivered his body right in front of Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had fought countless battles against enemies in his lifetime, but this was the first time in over seven hundred years that he had personally witnessed an opponent being bound by the very Magic Treasure they threw out, and then delivered right to his doorstep!

Wang Lin believed that even if another seven thousand years passed, encountering a similar scene would likely be extremely difficult!

Given Wang Lin's composure, even he was momentarily stunned upon seeing this, which showed the depth of his surprise!

"This…" Wang Lin wore a look of utter bewilderment, but at the same time, his apprehension toward the Immortal Binding Net instantly reached an incredible height. He had just personally witnessed how all the Divine Abilities the old man attempted failed completely while trapped inside the Immortal Binding Net!

The old man, bound by the Immortal Binding Net and delivered to Wang Lin, felt even more aggrieved upon seeing Wang Lin's expression. He angrily said, "Haven't you ever seen someone deliver themselves? My Magic Treasure failed, is that not allowed?!"

Given Wang Lin's nature, even he couldn't help but laugh after hearing those words. This kind of smile was extremely rare for him!

The short old man snorted softly. He had gone all out now; his cowardly nature was forcibly suppressed by endless grievance. He considered himself the most wronged Cultivator in the entire Cultivation World. He had clearly obtained a fortuitous encounter that countless people would go crazy for, yet in the end, he was ruined by the very Magic Treasure he gained from that encounter.

"Hmph, this time my luck was bad. Kill me or torture me, do as you please!" Although he spoke bravely, his heart couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wang Lin stopped smiling, returning to his usual indifference. He grabbed the old man with his right hand, and with a flash of his body, he vanished from the spot.

At the castle earlier, most Cultivators had hurriedly fled while Wang Lin was in pursuit. Without the Immortal Seeds on them, they had instantly gained freedom.

However, some had not left, and Sun Ruonan was one of them.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at the sky, a complicated look in her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Wang Lin's figure stepped out from the Void Realm. With a cold glance, he saw that only a few Cultivators remained there. When they saw Wang Lin, they respectfully clasped their fists, expressing continuous gratitude.

Only Sun Ruonan seemed not to notice Wang Lin, still gazing blankly at the sky.

Wang Lin clasped his fists in acknowledgment to the remaining Cultivators. With a grab into the Void Realm with his left hand, he seized Sun Ruonan and quickly flew into the distance. The remaining Cultivators, whose purpose for waiting for Wang Lin's return was to express thanks, saw Wang Lin depart. Reflecting on their lives over the past years, they felt as if they had woken from a great dream. They said their farewells and scattered.

"Let go of me! Why are you grabbing me?!" Sun Ruonan instantly sobered up after being seized by Wang Lin and struggled continuously during the flight.

"Shut up!" Wang Lin's voice was like a cold wind, causing Sun Ruonan to immediately tremble all over. But soon, she sneered and said, "I know why you grabbed me. You want to use me as a Cauldron, right? I don't care. Do what you want, just let me go afterward!"

While flying, Wang Lin turned his head and glanced at the woman. His gaze was ruthless, as if he were looking at a corpse. He slowly said, "You are not qualified to be my Cauldron!"

Wang Lin's speed was extremely fast. With a single step while turning his head, he traveled tens of thousands of miles away.

Sun Yunshan stood anxiously on the ground, with over ten Cultivators lying around him. Just as he felt uneasy, his eyes suddenly narrowed. A long rainbow whistled toward him from the distant sky, transforming into Wang Lin!

Wang Lin held a man and a woman in his two hands. Sun Yunshan's gaze first fell upon the extremely familiar woman.

"Ruonan!" Joy appeared in Sun Yunshan's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a complex expression. He shifted his gaze, this time looking at Wang Lin's right hand.

"Old Ancestor!!" At this sight, although Sun Yunshan was somewhat prepared mentally, he was still shaken!

Wang Lin landed. With a flick of his left hand, he tossed Sun Ruonan toward Sun Yunshan. At the same time, he grabbed into the Void Realm with his left hand, and the Qilin beast roared forth. The moment the beast stepped out, the ten-plus Cultivators on the ground, along with the Blue Mark on Sun Yunshan's brow, immediately trembled and gathered into clumps, flying out one by one and being sucked into the Qilin's massive mouth.

The beast seemed extremely happy. It roared, transformed into a soul, and was collected by Wang Lin into the Soul Banner.

"Brother Sun, the Restriction has been lifted, and your sister has been rescued. You will have to look for your Junior Martial Uncles yourself. As for the one inside my Soul Refining Tribe, I will release him. Farewell!" After speaking, Wang Lin, gripping the short old man who claimed to be from the Immortal Realm, stepped out and teleported away.

He couldn't be bothered with the complicated relationship between the siblings.

Inside the Soul Refining Tribe, within the Pagoda, Wang Lin's figure materialized. He casually tossed the short old man onto the ground, sat down cross-legged, his eyes sharp. He patted his Storage Pouch, and three beams of Sword Light flew out, hovering next to the old man. The sword tips emitted dense cold Qi, pressing right against the old man's skin.

These three swords were precisely the Zi Rat, Wei Goat, and Hai Pig swords. After Wang Lin refined them and integrated the Sword Qi within, he fully mastered and activated the Sword Formation contained within the three swords!

"Have you heard of Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou's Three Talents Sword Formation?" Wang Lin's voice was calm, but when it reached the old man's ears, his body trembled. His small eyes quickly darted toward the precious swords beside him.

"When your Immortal Binding Net releases you, if you make any suspicious move, I will let you know the profundities of the Sword Venerable's Three Talents Formation!" Wang Lin said slowly.

He learned the name of the Three Talents Sword Formation when he searched the soul of Hai Pig! The Twelve Swords of the Sword Zodiac, using three as a unit to form the Three Talents Sword Formation, could, if all twelve swords were deployed simultaneously, form the Heaven Slaughter Twelve Earth Sword Formation, the proud achievement of Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou!

"Now tell me, what exactly is your identity!" Based on Wang Lin's life experience, he could tell at a glance that this person was extremely timid. His words carried a demonic resonance as he said, "If you don't speak, I will use the Soul Searching Technique, refine you into a soul, and ensure you never enter Reincarnation for eternity!"
