A month later, Su Ming returned to Desolate Village in Green Prefecture.
Ye Chuxue looked at him in surprise.
"You only left a few months ago. Why are you back so soon?"
Su Ming did not choose to hide it from her and directly told her that he had returned this time to kill someone.
"Kill someone? Big Brother, we're still wanted by the Azure Cloud Sect. Wouldn't it be bad for you to kill someone so openly?"
Su Ming understood her concerns, so he explained.
"Don't worry! I'm only going to the Mortal World to kill someone this time, not to kill anyone from the Three Great Sects."
After hearing Su Ming say that, Ye Chuxue no longer objected. The wanted notices in the Mortal World were still relatively limited.
Seven days later, he brought Ye Chuxue into the Qin Capital.
He remembered that during the previous simulation, Lin Qi had said that his father was a king with a different surname in the Qin Kingdom.
Following that clue, Su Ming quickly found the Lin residence.
After entering the Lin residence alone, he directly found Lin Qi. Without another word, he sent out a streak of Sword Qi, intending to kill him.
"How dare you!"
A man appeared before Lin Qi and blocked the Great Void Sword Qi for him.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to kill my son?"
Su Ming frowned slightly. Through True Sight, he began examining the man's information.
Lin Zhantian: Human Race
Cultivation: Early Spirit Transmutation Stage
Spiritual Root: High-grade Fire Spirit Root
"Human Race?"
Su Ming was slightly surprised as he looked at Lin Zhantian's information.
He had not expected that in this tiny Mortal World, not only was the King of Qin at the Spirit Transmutation Stage, but even this king with a different surname was a Human Cultivator at the Spirit Transmutation Stage.
"You're an Awakened One too?"
Lin Zhantian watched Su Ming with a wary expression. Among the Human Cultivators at Nascent Soul Great Perfection in Green Prefecture, he did not know Su Ming.
Su Ming nodded at those words, then looked solemnly at Lin Qi, who had already been frightened senseless behind Lin Zhantian.
"Your son must die. Otherwise, he will surely become a future calamity!"
Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Lin Zhantian turned back to glance at his son before looking at him suspiciously.
"My son has a Top-grade Fire Spirit Root. Once he breaks through to Foundation Establishment, he will definitely awaken. Are you trying to kill the future of the Human Race?"
At those words, Su Ming narrowed his eyes.
He knew that no matter what he said next, Lin Zhantian would not believe him.
Facing Lin Zhantian, whose cultivation was an entire major realm above his own, Su Ming had no confidence in defeating him.
But if he only needed to kill Lin Qi, that would not be difficult.
Thinking of this, the corners of Su Ming's lips curled slightly upward.
"Since you don't believe me, then forget it. There will come a day when you regret this."
Su Ming helplessly shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.
"Hmph! Do you think my Lin Clan is a place you can come and go as you please? Since you want to kill my son, you should be prepared to be killed by me."
The next second, Lin Zhantian appeared before Su Ming and reached out to seize his throat.
In his eyes, Su Ming was merely in the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if he was at Nascent Soul Great Perfection, to Lin Zhantian of the Spirit Transmutation Stage, he was only a slightly larger ant.
But reality slapped him viciously across the face.
Su Ming, whom he had imagined he could grasp and crush at will, vanished inexplicably before his eyes.
"Do you really think you can kill me?"
Su Ming's voice sounded behind him. At that moment, Lin Zhantian suddenly realized something.
"No! Don't kill my son! I'll let you leave!"
Lin Zhantian did not know how Su Ming had done it. He had clearly locked onto Su Ming's aura just now.
Yet in an instant, Su Ming's aura had vanished, only to reappear beside Lin Qi.
"Let me leave? Do you think I need that?"
Su Ming sneered at him and raised a hand, sending a streak of Sword Qi through Lin Qi's glabella.
"No!"
After dealing with Lin Qi, Su Ming did not linger. He cast the Great Void Technique and left the Lin residence directly.
Once outside, Su Ming took Ye Chuxue and ran toward Desolate Village.
Lin Zhantian's furious roar came from behind them, but Su Ming wondered why he had not chased after them.
Seven days later, they returned to Desolate Village once more.
Su Ming did not intend to return directly to the Sword Pavilion.
Now that the matter had been resolved, he needed to begin the next simulation as quickly as possible.
He had already delayed several days just to kill Lin Qi.
After telling Ye Chuxue that she would accompany him to You Prefecture tomorrow, Su Ming entered his room alone.
"Start the simulation!"
[Drawing a random talent!] [Congratulations, you have obtained the White Talent: Sword Skill Mastery!] [Sword Skill Mastery: Cultivation efficiency for sword-art cultivation methods increases by fifty percent!] [Having obtained Sword Skill Mastery, you were not disappointed simply because it was a White Talent.] [On the contrary, with the boost from Sword Dao Supreme, the enhancement brought by Sword Skill Mastery was exceptionally considerable.] [The next day, you set out for You Prefecture with Ye Chuxue.] [One month later, you returned to the Sword Pavilion.] [When Lin Tian saw that you had suddenly brought back a beautiful woman, he was instantly dumbfounded.] ["No way! Junior Brother, you said you had important business in Green Prefecture. So that business was going there to pick up girls?"] ["Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense. Chu Xue's constitution is very special."] [You then told Lin Tian about Ye Chuxue's Taiyin Body.] ["Damn! A Taiyin Body! As long as someone with this constitution doesn't die young, she'll definitely ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future!"] [Hearing Lin Tian's praise when she had only just arrived, Ye Chuxue's face reddened slightly, and she seemed somewhat embarrassed.] [After arranging things for Ye Chuxue, you told Lin Tian about your next plan.] ["What? You want to go to the Pill Sect to find Fifth Senior Sister?"] [You knew Lin Tian would stop you, so you revealed your identity as a Fourth-grade Alchemist.] [After learning that you were actually a Fourth-grade Alchemist, Lin Tian's face held nothing but shock. After that, he no longer stopped you from going to the Pill Sect.] [The next day, you set off alone for Pill City.] [This time, when you came to Pill City, you did not intend to take the assessment. Instead, you waited for an opportunity to meet Gu Xinyue directly.] [After waiting for ten consecutive days, the Pill Sect's assessment began, and you saw Gu Xinyue as you had wished.] [After exchanging a glance with her, you turned and left.] [That night, Gu Xinyue came to your residence.] ["You're the junior brother who joined the Sword Pavilion not long ago?"] [As she spoke, Gu Xinyue walked to the table and sat down directly across from you.] ["Senior Sister, I need your help!"] ["Oh? But your senior sister has urgent matters to deal with right now and cannot leave the Pill Sect for the time being!"] [You naturally knew why Gu Xinyue remained in the Pill Sect, so you directly took out a Void Breaking Pill that Gu Xinyue had given you in the previous simulation.] [At the time, she had refined a batch and happened to produce two Void Breaking Pills, so she simply gave you the extra one. After all, you had snatched back the Spiritual Herbs.] [Gu Xinyue stared at the Void Breaking Pill in your hand, her eyes widening and her lips parting slightly.] ["A Void Breaking Pill! Junior Brother, where did you get a Void Breaking Pill?"] [You did not explain where the Void Breaking Pill had come from and instead handed it directly to her.] ["Senior Sister, I know why you're staying in the Pill Sect. Now that you have a Void Breaking Pill, do you still need to remain here?"] [At this moment, Gu Xinyue's smile vanished as she began looking at you seriously.]
