C2392 I'll Send You on Your Way

A ghost was seeking its life!

Listening to the young man's reply, the corners of Lin Bai's lips gradually curled up into a playful smile. He was certain that what had happened to the Spirit Spring Sect's disciples in the Little Fang Mountain was not as simple as the death of the spirits they had passed down.

Not to mention whether there were ghosts in this world, even if there were, the disciples of Little Fang Mountain still wouldn't have been a match for the disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect when they were alive, let alone after their deaths. Even if they had turned into wraiths, they would be killed by the Spirit Spring Sect in body and spirit as soon as they showed their faces.

All of this was probably because someone had secretly planned to take care of all the people in the Spirit Spring Sect. That was why they purposely kept the people in the Spirit Spring Sect in a state of panic and disorder.

It was actually very simple to expose the loophole in the rumor. The source of this loophole was Patriarch Netherworld. The methods of Patriarch Netherworld were definitely the highest among the disciples sent by the Spirit Spring Martial School, and the lives of the small mountains were definitely the most on his hands. If the ghosts were truly taking his life and the spirits were so powerful, why didn't they just make a move on Patriarch Netherworld?

He did not do that, which meant that the existence that caused all of this was afraid of Patriarch Underworld. He was afraid that if he went straight against him, not only would he not be able to kill him, he would instead be blamed for it.

And just as Lin Bai was thinking, he suspected that there was a 90% chance that the strange happenings in these ruins were done by the owner of the aura that was spying on him.

However, Lin Bai was unable to pinpoint the location of that aura, and was unable to see its true form. Hence, he had no other choice but to figure out the purpose of that person's actions.

However, there were only two reasons for this person's actions. The first was that he was a disciple who had managed to escape with a sliver of his own life when the small mountain was destroyed, in order to avenge his fellow sect members. The second was that this person was like the Spirit Spring Sect, coveting the Spirit Stone lode in the small mountain as well, so he wanted to use this matter to scare off the Spirit Spring Sect.

Not only that, from Lin Bai's perspective, the possibility of the latter far surpassed the former. If that person was truly a member of the Little Fang sect, then the Little Fang mountain had already been completely destroyed. Since he was able to preserve a sliver of life, according to the customs of the hidden world, he wouldn't have enough time to escape.

All of this was too illogical, so the answer could only be the latter.

"Senior, I have told you everything I know. Please forgive me." At the same time, the young man repeatedly kowtowed to Lin Bai, begging for forgiveness, "Senior, please be at ease. As long as you are magnanimous and spare me this once, I will definitely not reveal anything that has happened to this place to anyone, and will wholeheartedly help Senior."

"How is Jiang Wanli's cultivation base?" What secret technique is it? " Lin Bai didn't pay attention to the young man's pleas for mercy, nor did he stay on the issue of the so called 'specters taking one's life' for too long. He indifferently said to the young man.

After entering the heart of Little Fang Mountain, Lin Bai saw the huge pit and felt the terrifying aura emanating from it. As the sectmaster of the Spirit Spring Sect, Lin Bai did not underestimate Jiang Wanli at all. He also had a premonition that Jiang Wanli was likely to be the strongest enemy he'd faced since entering seclusion.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, only then would he be able to win in a hundred battles. For the sake of this spirit stone vein of the small mountain, there would surely be disputes between him and Jiang Wanli. He had no idea about Jiang Wanli's methods at the moment. He could only think of a better way to deal with him after knowing his true strength.

"Sect Master... No, Jiang Wanli's cultivation was unfathomable. Moreover, according to the rumors in the sect, he seemed to have obtained some kind of incredible good fortune recently, and his cultivation had also increased tremendously. I am an unranked disciple in the Spirit Spring Sect, so I can't get close to the core of the matter. Therefore, I'm not too clear about the details … "

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly told him everything he knew in a low voice. Then, he begged: "Senior, I have already told you everything I know. I hope senior can be magnanimous and give me a chance to live."

He had obtained some sort of incredible good fortune? When Lin Bai heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Jiang Wanli's cultivation level was already incredible enough, but if he was lucky enough to encounter it again, then what kind of terrifying increase would he make?

This battle would probably not end so easily. If he didn't deal with it carefully, his life might even be in danger. However, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, in order to achieve his goal, he had to go all out. No matter how strong Jiang Wanli's cultivation was now, he had to make Jiang Chen the stepping stone for him to reach the top!

"No, that's not right. You still have one thing you didn't tell me …" Lin Bai slowly withdrew his thoughts and looked at the young man with a smile that was not a smile. His eyes were filled with unconcealable ridicule.

"Is there something else?" Hearing Lin Bai's words, a hint of panic flashed past the eyes of the young man, but it was quickly concealed by him. After which, he looked at Lin Bai in shock and asked, "I don't know what question senior is going to ask, so whatever it is, please just ask. As long as it's something I can answer, I will not hide anything from you."

"Very well, since you've said so, I'll ask you one more time." Lin Bai smiled faintly. He was extremely meticulous, how could he not see the panic in the eyes of this young man? However, he acted as though he had never seen it before, "What is your true identity?"

"I have already said that I am an unranked disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect. It is only because of luck that I have survived until now …" Hearing Lin Bai's question, the young man's expression immediately became nervous as he stumbled and stammered.

"Unconventional Disciple …" Hehe, do you think I'm an idiot? Would an unranked disciple be able to live this long after the spirit had changed to take his life? Could it be that your Spirit Spring Sect has opened a hall of good, or that the dwarf, Patriarch Netherworld, would have such good intentions? Do you think I'm a three year old child who can be easily fooled? " Lin Bai smiled noncommittally.

Just as he'd said, he'd already begun to doubt this young man's true identity from the moment he'd spoken of what had happened to the mountains of Little Fang. One had to know that since such a change happened here, in order to preserve his strength, the ancestor of the Underworld would naturally send out those cannon fodder like unrated disciples to probe.

If what this young man said was true, that he was also one of the unrated disciples, then how could he have survived until now? He'd probably already been sent out as a shield by Ancestor Huang Quan long ago. The fact that he was able to survive until now and after all of his troops were wiped out, only Patriarch Netherworld was with him. It was sufficient to show that the identity of this person was not simple.

Even Lin Bai suspected that with this young man's identity, perhaps even Patriarch Netherworld was a little afraid. That was the reason why Patriarch Netherworld had allowed such a strange change to occur in the small mountain. Not only did he not let him charge forward to kill, he even brought him with him to send other disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect to their deaths.

Most importantly, with Lin Bai's understanding of the hidden world, he was an existence that stressed the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle. In such a rule, an unrated disciple, after encountering such an abnormal situation, not only did he not become a cannon fodder, but he was still alive and kicking, with a full beard and tail. This kind of thing might happen in the outside world, but in an underworld world world, this was simply a pipe dream. Even ghosts would not believe it.

"I don't know what you're talking about, senior …" [I am really just a nobody in the Spirit Spring Sect …] The young man continued to defend himself, but his voice was clearly more nervous. With a trembling voice, he said, "Senior, please believe me!"

"In my entire life, the people I hate the most are the dishonest people. They hate the people that lie to me even more!" Lin Bai smiled indifferently. His eyes were cold as he stared into the eyes of the young man, overflowing with killing intent. He coldly said, "If you speak of your true identity, I can give you a quick death!"

"Hey Lin, don't push me too far!" I don't mind telling you, I am the sect master's direct disciple and was sent here by the sect head to monitor whether or not the ancestor of Netherworld Ancestor will do something like keeping an eye out for himself! " As Lin Bai's words faded, a look of disappointment and disappointment appeared on the young man's face. Then, as if he was about to fight to the death, he stood up abruptly and roared at Lin Bai:

"Master, the old man has already inherited the legacy of an immortal. Sooner or later, you will lose to him! If you want to live, you'd better be polite to me. When the time comes, I can even plead for mercy on your behalf to Master, and leave a path for you to live. "Otherwise, even if you regret it by then, it will be too late …"

But before he could even finish speaking, his vision blurred as he saw a stream of light suddenly fly out and rush straight into his body. In that instant, he felt waves of ice-cold feeling suffuse from his chest.

As he looked down in disbelief, he was shocked to find that there was a huge hole appearing in his chest. Blood was flowing out of the hole, and his life was being sucked out of him like a receding tide.

"I'm sorry, but your threat has no effect on me!" Looking into the young man's dull eyes, Lin Bai sneered and said faintly, "And the thing that you are most reckless about is not only daring to threaten me, but also mentioning the words that I hate the most in my life. Since you do not know your place, how can I keep you here?
