C2388 Dwarf

It looks like that's right, the Spirit Stone mine was indeed located at the back of the small mountain!

After hearing this voice, Lin Bai was overjoyed. Ever since he had entered the Small Square of Mountains, he and the Yin Qi Water Beast had not encountered any obstacles, just like how the small mountain people had already given up on this place.

Although there was no one present, it was possible that Xiao Fang and the other sects had made special arrangements to keep their promises. However, through his understanding of the flow of the river and the Spirit Spring Sect's disciples, Lin Bai knew that with the Spirit Spring Sect's style of handling matters, they would never keep their promises.

Since these people appeared here, it meant that this place was being guarded by something extremely important. Little Fang's mountains had been destroyed, and ruins were strewn everywhere. From what Lin Bai had seen on his journey here, even the tiniest bit of valuable items had all been snatched clean by those jackal like wraiths. Other than a pile of chicken feathers, there was nothing else.

What was worth guarding a dilapidated sect? The answer was obvious. If these people were watching over them right now, it was very likely that it was the spirit stone vein that existed in the small mountain.

However, what made Lin Bai a little confused was that since the Spirit Spring Sect had come to visit the Soulguard Stone lode, why were these people hiding here instead of setting up secret sentries in various parts of the Little Fang Mountain? If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that as long as there was wind or grass blowing, they would be able to discover it immediately and would not be as passive as they were now?

However, no matter what, the scene before their eyes was too strange and incomprehensible.

Could it be because of the existence of that strange prying person that such a change occurred? And at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly had a wild guess in his heart. The more he speculated, the more likely it was.

However, he was unable to confirm for the moment whether the person spying on him was a survivor of the destruction of the small mountain, or a sect sent out men to covet the spirit stone mine.

With a change in his thoughts, Lin Bai did not hesitate and immediately channeled his mana, controlling the heaven and earth origin energy and curling it around him and the water Yin Beast, hiding them outside of the five senses that the world could sense.

"What's going on? I heard some movement, but I can't see anyone else …" Just as Lin Bai was concealing himself, a young man dressed in black appeared in front of him. Even though the two of them were only a few steps apart, under the cover of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, that person could not see Lin Bai at all.

Not only that, but Lin Bai also discovered that after this young man appeared, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of fear. He also looked around with an exceptionally perturbed expression, as if he was afraid of some unknown existence.

According to common sense, the Spirit Spring Sect should be in the middle of a fierce battle. These Spirit Spring Sect disciples should be acting high and mighty, but now they were acting like frightened mice. It was truly strange.

The expression on the man's face was weird. What had happened in the destroyed mountains of the small mountains? Seeing the expression on that young man's face, Lin Bai couldn't help but furrow his brows, his heart at a loss.

"What happened?" Right at that moment, a sharp and slightly low voice was suddenly heard from behind the young man. Moreover, the person who spoke those words had an indescribably strange appearance.

The person who had spoken, regardless of whether it was his height or his description, appeared to be a seven or eight year old child. But strangely, not a single hint of innocence that only children could feel from this child-like person. Instead, it gave off an ancient and gloomy feeling along with his body, as if there was a cold mist curling around it.

This person was probably not a child but a crippled dwarf. It was precisely because of this natural flaw that caused this person to become so vicious. The more they were like this, the more terrifying they would be, because those people would often force their own misfortune on others, and that could be seen from the fear the young man had towards them.

"Martial Uncle, I heard some movement outside just now, but I can't see anyone now …" The dwarf's status in the Spirit Spring Sect was obviously very high. When the young man saw him, his eyes showed fear. He quickly bowed to the dwarf and told him about the strange scene he had witnessed.

"There's movement, but I can't see anyone?" When the dwarf heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He narrowed his eyes and scanned his surroundings. His gaze was as cold as a knife, as if he could break any barrier in the world.

After a long time, his gaze gradually landed on Lin Bai and the Yin Qi Water Beast. Even though they were separated by Yuan Power, Lin Bai still felt that that person seemed to have discovered their existence.

Furthermore, Lin Bai felt that the gaze he saw in the dwarf's eyes was completely unlike anything a human could have. It was more like a vicious beast eyeing covetously, wanting to choose its prey.

"Martial Uncle, could it be that that strange thing has appeared again? That thing chased us all the way here?" The young man was not aware of the dwarf's abnormal behavior. He looked around in fear, then turned around and asked the dwarf in a doubtful tone. His voice even trembled a lot, as if the nervousness in his heart was almost engulfing him.

"What strange thing? How can there be so many strange things in this world!" The dwarf sneered, then looked Lin Bai straight in the eye and said lightly: "Fellow, you must have come to this small mountain in the middle of the night because of the spirit stone vein. Since you have the guts to ignore the rules set by my Spirit Spring Sect and the other sects, there's no need for you to hide yourself, please show yourself and don't force me to show myself."

This shorty really has some skill to be able to see us! After hearing his words, the water beast revealed a look of disbelief and muttered something. It didn't understand where this dwarf had gotten such a deep cultivation.

"Could it be that this Little Fang Mountain has sunk into the forbidden zone of your Spirit Spring Martial School? If your Spirit Spring Martial School's people can come, then I can't?" Since the concealment technique was unable to obstruct the dwarf's search, Lin Bai could not be bothered to continue hiding. He raised his hand to dispel the technique. He looked at the dwarf indifferently and said, "Could it be that you think your Spirit Spring Sect has reached a point where you can cover the sky with one hand?"

"It is not our Spirit Spring Martial School that decides whether or not you have the power to cover the sky with one hand. It is all the heroes of the underworld who do!" The dwarf completely ignored the mockery in Lin Bai's words. After sweeping his gaze over the scene, his gaze slowly landed on the flying sword in Lin Bai's hand as he coldly replied, "So it's the sword cultivators from the Sword Pavilion. Why? Are all of you sword maniacs also interested in the spirit stone mine?"

"If your Spirit Spring Martial School has such thoughts, why don't you allow me to come and take a look?" It seemed like this short man still did not know his identity. Lin Bai indifferently smiled when he heard this and coldly said. His tone was filled with raging killing intent.

"What if the Spirit Spring Sect doesn't allow it?" The dwarf sneered when he heard this. His cold gaze swept over Lin Bai as killing intent flitted across his eyes. He said indifferently, "You're the one who disturbed my Spirit Spring Sect in the small mountains earlier?"

"So what if I am, so what if I am?" Lin Bai was fearless. He spoke indifferently and faced the enemy with equal harshness.

It seemed that something had happened in the ruins of the Little Fang Mountain, and it was called the Spirit Spring Sect. Otherwise, the young man wouldn't have been so scared that the dwarf would have to ask this question.

Although Lin Bai had some doubts in his heart, he did not want to explain too much to this midget. After all, it was just a battle. No matter if he was the one who was fighting against the Spirit Spring Martial School, he couldn't change the situation.

"What big words you have there!" After the dwarf heard this, he was initially stunned. Soon after, he sneered and faintly said, "However, you did not say anything wrong. If it is you who is going to die, if it is not you, you should also die. There is indeed no difference between the two!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the dwarf quickly retreated. Along his body, an aura that was like a gale suddenly appeared. The wind moaned as if there were countless ghosts crying inside.

And the instant this aura was released, Lin Bai could feel waves of knife-like pressure silently pressing down on him. That Qi was like a razor sharp bone, just touching a sliver was enough to cause his soul to feel waves of pain.

This dwarf's methods are so strange! Feeling the strange presence, the corners of Lin Bai's eyes twitched. He hadn't thought that the first member of the Spirit Spring Sect he had met in seclusion would have such a powerful skill. It showed just how powerful the sect was.

However, even though his heart was trembling, there was not the slightest trace of fear on Lin Bai's face. On the contrary, a sinister smile was revealed on the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he stepped into seclusion, he had no intention of hiding the violent side of his personality. Moreover, he was very clear that what he was doing now was an extremely important matter. Heavy scriptures were used in chaotic times and extraordinary methods. It didn't make sense to talk reason with these hidden elites. To these people, a fist was the hard truth. Whoever had the biggest fist was the truth!

Not to mention that he already had a deep grudge with the Spiritual Spring Sect. Such hatred had already reached the point where he wouldn't stop until he died. Now that he met a disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect, if he showed mercy to his subordinates, it would be making things difficult for him in the future.

Most importantly, the Reincarnation Flying Sword had just been formed. Lin Bai really wanted to see just how mysterious this flying sword that had fused his flesh, his fate, and the scarlet red metal Dao patterns on it was.
