It Came Again...
"Among the disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm, is there any willing to seek guidance from the guest?"
The words of the patriarch of the Empty Spirit Sect, who was already at the Immortal Realm, resonated in the hearts of the Direct Disciple on the main peak.
"This disciple is willing to entertain guests!"
A man washing his sword on the main peak bowed to the voice, then soared into the air to find the Flower-Picking Thief.
At this moment, Jiang Lin was still being chased, and numerous explosions were heard around him.
Sonic attacks, sword light, and a horde of giant black snakes—in short, the attack methods of the Empty Spirit Sect cultivators are incredibly diverse.
Although the Empty Spirit Sect does not have a strict distinction between cultivators.
The various schools of thought, including those of the Hundred Schools of Thought, all had their share of such ideas, but surprisingly, even martial arts practitioners were included.
Then, Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator descended from the sky.
This palm strike that came from the sky made Jiang Lin wonder if this guy was a descendant of the Tathagata Palm.
But no...
Jiang Lin, who had already reached the second realm of Martial Warrior, used his Martial Warrior True Qi to fiercely clash with the opponent.
When their palms met, a large crater with a diameter of ten meters appeared, centered on Jiang Lin.
To the martial arts practitioner's surprise, the person in front of him was also a Martial Warrior!
Moreover, his foundation was absolutely perfect! Although he was only at the Martial Warrior Second Realm, he had never seen such a solid foundation at the second level before.
What surprised Jiang Lin was that this martial arts practitioner wasn't pure...
Although he's at the fourth realm, it's obvious his foundation isn't solid. Compared to his own second realm, he seems weak. Compared to Chen Jia, this person's Martial Warrior Fourth Realm is like that of a nascent infant...
Jiang Lin guessed that this person was probably a practitioner of both physical and magical techniques, but had neglected martial arts.
Jiang Lin had actually misunderstood.
They really haven't neglected martial arts.
Although the physiques of those Martial Warrior Fourth Realm are not outstanding, they are still considered average.
But how can this compare to Jiang Lin's strongest second realm?
Jiang Lin had originally planned to train his physique by training with other Martial Warrior, but Jiang Lin abandoned the idea, feeling it would be better to spar with disciples of the Fist Sect.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Lin grabbed the other man's sleeve and threw a punch.
Mages are most afraid of close combat, and by the time this guy tried to use his Spiritual Power to block the punch, it was already too late.
The guy who was hit squarely in the chest was sent flying backward, crashing into two trees and losing consciousness. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for months.
Jiang Lin would never kill him.
That palm strike was aimed at my serious injury; they didn't want my life, they probably wanted to capture me alive.
But if I were to kill someone with a single punch, that would be too much of an exaggeration.
Besides, the reason those elders haven't made a move is because they've been holding back at every turn.
As long as there's no irreconcilable conflict between the two sides, there's always room for maneuver. But if I were to cause any death, then it would be a blood feud.
"But... where am I going?"
Jiang Lin realized he had been running in one direction the whole time, but had no idea where he was.
Gradually, Jiang Lin noticed something even stranger: apart from the guy who had just exchanged blows with him, it seemed like fewer people were attacking him.
Looking back, I realized that those people had stopped in their tracks and were no longer moving forward, as if they had received some kind of order.
Please wait a moment, sir.
A voice rang out in the air, and a man dressed in a light green robe stood in the air, holding a long sword, with the wind blowing the hem of his robe.
Jiang Lin also leaped up, the two now fifty meters apart.
A man in white and a woman in green stood facing each other, their handsome faces drawing the attention of the female cultivators around them, who began to whisper among themselves.
"I still think my senior brother in green is more handsome."
"What? You're being biased! That white-clad Flower-Picking Thief is clearly more handsome, okay?"
"Tch! That Flower-Picking Thief looks like a lecherous scoundrel. I prefer a celibate man like Senior Brother Green."
"What lecherous scoundrels Flower-Picking Thief? They're all quite charming, and I've heard they're incredibly skilled in martial arts."
"Kung Fu? Senior Brother Green is Nascent Soul Realm Sword Cultivator! He's only at the Dragon Gate Realm, so why do you say his kung fu is better than Senior Brother Green's!"
"..."
Some of the more experienced female drivers around were speechless at the sight of this innocent-looking junior sister... but then again, she was only thirteen years old...
"I am Lu Daoguang, a Nascent Soul Realm Empty Spirit Sect Sword Cultivator, and the fourth direct disciple of the Kongling Sect."
The man bowed respectfully to Jiang Lin.
"Jiang Lin, Dragon Gate Realm, Sun Moon Sect."
He's a Nascent Soul Realm expert... I'm a bit afraid to mess with him...
Jiang Lin felt a slight headache.
I shouldn't have signed up for that Poetry Gathering in the first place; now... things are getting a bit complicated.
Why have you taken my Inner Disciple hostage and stormed into my sect?
"Would you believe me if I said I came here to pick mushrooms?"
"Letter."
"..."
Wait a minute, this Lu Daoguang doesn't seem to be playing by the rules.
"Can I go out then?"
"No."
"..."
"Let's have a match. If you win, you can leave."
"What if I lose?"
"The person stays."
"..."
Holy crap! This guy's awesome...
Jiang Lin felt he needed to learn from this guy how to speak in a cool, aloof way with a blank expression.
Honestly, that phrase "the person stayed behind" evoked a sense of Manifestation of Sainthood intervention.
Even though she was dressed entirely in green, including her headband, she suddenly exuded a high-class vibe, didn't she?
But actually... when this guy finished speaking, he frowned slightly, feeling that his words might have been ambiguous.
What I really meant was, "Stay here and consider whether you want to join my sect," but why did it sound like I was asking for their life?
Should I explain myself?
Ah, never mind...
Explaining this is too troublesome.
Let's talk about it after we finish...
The two looked at each other and fell silent, while the surrounding cultivators held their breath.
In fact, when they realized that the Flower-Picking Thief hadn't done anything outrageous, they didn't want to kill him at all, especially since he had held back when he attacked them.
All I want to do now is hang him up, beat him up, and throw him out of the sect. What can I do when this guy is so handsome?
But now my senior brother actually wants to kill him...
Isn't this too serious...?
Jiang Lin also felt that he seemed to have no other choice, so he could only silently pull out the First Snow...
In fact, I have many expectations for fighting against Sword Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Jiang Lin was eager to know just how much progress he had made after leveling up these past few days.
Just as Jiang Lin held the First Snow in his hand, the crystal-clear First Snow drew exclamations of "So beautiful!" from the surrounding Empty Spirit Sect disciples, the system, which had been dormant for who knows how many months...
It's here again...
