For a Spirit Transformation cultivator to slay someone in Void Refinement despite the gap in realms was no ordinary feat. Yue Tianyi suspected that Chen Lin had also obtained some treasure in the Earth Cave.
Chen Lin showed no reaction to his words.
The feat the other man spoke of was nothing more than his killing of Ancestor Lingtian. He did not want to admit to it, but neither did he deny it. Leaving things ambiguous was best.
"How long have you been back, Fellow Daoist Yue? Are Fellow Daoist Zhang and the others well?"
Chen Lin changed the subject, asking directly about what he wanted to know.
Yue Tianyi did not conceal anything. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Xin, and Fellow Daoist Lu all left the Earth Cave with me. Fellow Daoist Xin returned to her lineage, while Fellow Daoist Zhang said he intended to travel in search of an opportunity for Ascension to the Void Refinement Realm. As for Fellow Daoist Lu, I don't know."
At this point, he looked at Chen Lin and smiled. "But Fellow Daoist Lu seemed very interested in you. Perhaps she'll come looking for you."
"Heh."
Chen Lin gave a faint chuckle, and Lu Xiaoyi's little-girl-like figure surfaced in his mind.
He promptly dismissed it and asked in surprise, "Did the four of you meet up again inside? Did you find any treasures or encounter any danger?"
Yue Tianyi's eyes flickered slightly. He gave a bitter smile. "We only obtained some spirit herbs. We ran into danger several times, though, and nearly lost our lives. This treasure hunt was a terrible loss."
When the four of them left the Earth Cave, they had agreed not to reveal the treasures they had obtained. Even without that agreement, he would never have spoken of them.
