C2558 Turbulent Undercurrent

"Senior, do you really not want this junior's storage ring?"

Even though Lin Bai had already spoken, Jin Baohong still felt as if he was in a dream. After asking this question with a trembling voice, he shuddered and said, "Senior, could it be that you intentionally placed the item into my ring, and then pretended that I stole your item, then killed me, then seized this storage ring?"

[Is this guy delusional?] Hearing Jin Bahong's words, Lin Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't think that his good intentions would be so complicated when it came to Jin Baohong.

"If you don't want it, I don't mind taking it away." Lin Bai smiled faintly. It wasn't that he was uninterested in this storage ring, but that he felt that there was no need to take Jin Bahong's items.

Jin Baohong's life was already miserable enough, but who knew what kind of price he had to pay to get this storage ring. If he needed a storage ring, he could either find a way to exchange for it or seize it from someone else he couldn't afford. Why would he need to make things difficult for a small figure like Jin Baohong to suppress him? This wasn't Lin Bai's style.

It was only now that Jin Baohong was completely sure that not only did Lin Bai not want to steal his storage ring, he also did not intend to kill him to steal the treasure.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inconceivable. He had lived in the Immortal World for so many years that he had seen many cases of people killing others for their treasures. However, there were very few people like Lin Bai who could effortlessly take away this storage ring without being tempted by it.

"Senior, why don't this junior offer this storage ring to you …" After some thought, Jin Baohong felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a while, he said to Lin Bai, who was changing his clothes and putting on his Taoist robe.

Hearing Jin Baohong's words, Lin Bai frowned. He knew that to deal with this kind of person, one had to use an authority to order others around, so he coldly glanced at him and said, "If you dare speak any more, I will definitely kill you!"

"Hee hee …" After being scolded by Lin Bai, Jin Baohong finally felt at ease. He scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced at Lin Bai, who had changed into a new robe, and said, "Senior sure is a genius with an immortal demeanor.

Although Jin Baohong's words were a compliment, they came from the bottom of his heart. Although his figure was fat, his height was similar to Lin Bai. And when these large robes were worn by Lin Bai, there was a slight incongruity. But because of Lin Bai's bearing, he gave off the feeling of a natural and graceful immortal.

"Let's go, take me to your Hollow Jade Sect." After hearing these words, he felt rather pleased in his heart. After chuckling softly, he frowned slightly and slowly lifted his hand, releasing the Innate True Divine Force. After which, he disrupted the aura around him before speaking to Jin Baohong in a faint voice.

How could Jin Baohong dare to hesitate? He immediately took the lead and led the way in front of Lin Bai, leading the way towards the Hollow Jade Sect.

Swish! Not long after Lin Bai and Jin Baohong left, two rays of light suddenly shot through the valley and slowly descended. After the flowing lights descended, two young men wearing black silk robes floated out.

The two youths were extremely handsome, and their bodies had a calmness to them. Standing there, it seemed that there was nothing special about them apart from their appearance. But the strange thing was that if one stood still like this in the eyes of others, it would create a kind of arrogance that one had to look up to. The contradiction between being calm and being arrogant had been perfectly fused within their bodies.

After the two young men landed on the ground, they looked around, sending out their spiritual will to sense the auras around them, as if they were looking for something. After a long time, one of the youths finally frowned and said to the person next to him, "Senior Brother Leng Ye, why is there not a single trace of aura left? Did master make a mistake?"

"Master couldn't possibly be mistaken. It's not as if there aren't any traces of auras left in this place. It's just that we've been deliberately disturbed by someone, which is why we can't catch it." After the young man named Leng Ye heard this, he looked around and picked up a rock from the ground. He frowned and asked, "Why is the altar here broken?"

"Could it be that before that person even came in, something went wrong with the altar and told him to go somewhere else?" After the other young man heard this, he looked around and asked doubtfully.

"I don't think so. If the altar had shattered earlier, the atmosphere here wouldn't have been disturbed either. That person is truly extremely meticulous. He already has such a cautious mindset after entering the Immortal World. Master said that he's extraordinary, and it's true. " Leng Ye smiled faintly and praised her. Then, he turned to the young man and said, "Crane Dance, is there any sect nearby?"

"This place is about 20 miles east of here. There is a sect called the Hollow Jade Sect." When the Crane Dance heard this, her brow furrowed for a moment before she slowly spoke.

"The Hollow Jade Sect …" After a long time, a perplexed look appeared on his face, as if he had no understanding of the Hollow Jade Sect. He then asked He Wu, "How many disciples are there in the Hollow Jade Sect, and what is the realm of the person with the highest cultivation in the sect?"

"There are hundreds of disciples in the Hollow Jade Sect, and the master of the sect is Bai Yangzi. His cultivation is only at the upper level of the Heaven's Expanse Palace." He Wu pondered for a moment before recounting the information of the Hollow Jade Sect. With some doubt, she asked, "Senior Brother, do you think that person will go to the Hollow Jade Sect?"

"The masters of the sects are only at the upper level of Qianyuan. For a sect like this, what kind of disciple would have the guts to stay in this life? " Leng Ye smiled faintly before asking, "Are there any larger sects around here?"

"Fifty li to the west of this place, there is a sect called the Mystic Moon Cave. Inside the cave, there is a Formless Stage powerhouse!" He Wu pondered for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, that Formless Stage expert has a greedy personality. He has done many things to seize the treasure in the past."

"Let's go, then we'll go meet him. Maybe we'll let him take the initiative!" Leng Ye nodded his head slightly. With a flick of his finger, a resplendent glow suddenly appeared beneath his feet. He then rushed into the sky, turning into a ray of light as he charged into the distance.

Quickly after, He Wu also did what she did according to the law. In only an instant, the two of them disappeared in the sky.

However, what they didn't know was that their current thoughts and Lin Bai's actual movements were actually completely opposite from each other. If they continued searching, they would be a hundred miles behind them.

Not long after the two of them left, an extremely dazzling sword beam suddenly appeared in the sky. The sword aura was dense and cold, and it seemed like it could not be swallowed or spit out. And on the sword, there was also a young man who carried a murderous aura around his body, causing one's skin to turn cold just by looking at him.

Unlike Leng Ye and He Wu, this youth didn't land on the ground. His gaze was like lightning as it swept across the ground. He then directly rode on his sword and chased after Leng Ye and He Wu.

Along the way, Lin Bai asked Jin Baohong some questions about the Immortal World. Although Jin Baohong's strength was not good, and his luck was not good, he still had a gossiping heart. He was well versed in many of the matters in the Immortal World.

As he had said, there were a total of five big sects in the hidden world. There were many Non-Phase realm experts in the sect, and it was even rumored that there were even supreme experts above the Non-Phase Realm. One was the Supreme Mysterious Gate, where experts were as numerous as the clouds, and there were also a hundred and eight immortal mountains dominating the Immortal World …

The other was the Heavencraft Family. Unlike other sects, this family was formed from a single family, with countless elite disciples appearing one after another. There were countless geniuses among them, and there were even many old monsters, leading the crowd …

The other name was the sword pavilion. The person here was a powerful sword cultivator that cultivated the sword dao in the Celestial Realm. Rumor has it that the sword pavilion's combat strength was number one in the Celestial Realm! Especially the ancestor of the Sword Pavilion. His cultivation had long since surpassed the Ascendant stage, reaching an unimaginable level. The sword was so powerful that no one dared to provoke it.

The last was also the most mysterious sect. This sect was different from the others as it was a supreme sect in the Immortal World. It was said that no matter if it was the number of disciples or experts, this sect was number one in the Immortal World. However, the disciples of this sect were not people that would appear easily. It was impossible for others to obtain anything from them. According to what Jin Baohong said, only Formless Stage experts would know of these secrets.

In addition to the five sects, there were also countless rogue cultivators with powerful Cultivation bases like old man Tianliang. The strength of their methods also couldn't be underestimated. Even the five sects didn't want to rashly provoke them.

The Immortal World was truly mysterious and unfathomable. Listening to Jin Baohong's narration, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh. Amongst these sects, the one that piqued his interest the most was naturally none other than the Sword Pavilion! It was one thing for the other sects, but this Sword Pavilion was the same as the hidden Sword Pavilion — they were all sword cultivators. He couldn't help but wonder if this Sword Pavilion was the previous body of the Sword Pavilion.

"Senior, the Hollow Jade Sect is on the lookout. Let me remind you one more time, no matter what happens, please bear with it. Don't let your guard down …" Just as Lin Bai sighed, a complicated look flashed across Jin Baohong's eyes as he warned Lin Bai.
