Chapter 895: As Fragile as Dust
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin MO widened his eyes at the sudden pain.
Regret, anger, and fear flashed through his eyes.
But more than anything, there was a refusal to accept defeat.
How could he die like this?
His path had been smoother than others, and his talent far surpassed them. Resources were within his easy reach. He still had a chance to shine bright and gain the admiration of others.
Even in the face of death, he should be calmer than others. If he were to die, he would drag his enemy down with him.
He was a genius with numerous resources, and his seniors were all watching him.
Many thoughts ran through Lin MOâs mind.
He spat out blood. His eyes were bloodshot.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the spear lodged in his chest, and pulled it out.
Blood sprayed out.
His aura began to rise continuously as if it had been accumulating for a long time and was finally breaking through.
He advanced to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
âDie! t,
Lin MO, with a ferocious face, infused all his power into one thrust and hurled the spear at his opponent.
The intent was to kill. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi were shocked.
They couldnât react in time.
Lin Zhi almost fled. He pulled Zhao Qingxue and Lin MO and tried to run with them.
Facing Lin Moâs attack, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior was surprised. He crushed the spear easily. In an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Mo.
Then, he pushed him down.
He pressed Lin Moâs head to the ground. âThought you had some power?â
He slammed Lin Moâs head down. His head was almost entirely buried in the soil.
He treated him as though he was as fragile as dust.
It crushed Lin MOâs pride.
Lin Zhi wanted to help, but he felt like he was of no use.
This was the world of cultivation. Just because you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm didnât mean every opponent you faced was weaker than you. Temporary breakthroughs couldnât give a person enough power and strength to fight back.
Zhao Qingxue felt how insignificant she was for the first time.
She didnât even have a chance to make a move.
At that moment, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior looked at the three people and smiled. âYou should thank the sectâs rules. Otherwise, you would be dead.â
A woman walked to them. âThe things we need are ready. We can leave now.â
Then, she looked at the three on the ground. âArenât you killing them?â
âNo need,â said the Foundation Establishment Realm senior and shook his head. âKilling within the sect is troublesome. Besides, there is no need to let a group of inexperienced kids ruin our plans.â
He squatted down, patted Lin Moâs face, and chuckled. âJunior Brother, how long do you think you can survive once you leave the sect?â
With that, he turned and left.
Lin MO and the others had no idea about their plans. They just happened to bump into them here.
Shortly after, Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu appeared in front of the three kids.
Even now, they were still suppressed by the aura.
They couldnât even get up.
No one was around, so nobody had informed the sect.
âWhat happened here?â Zheng Shijiu asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head. Such incidents were common in the world of cultivation, and the same applied within the sect. The only thing they could do was try to avoid them as much as possible.
When Lin MO and the others mentioned that there were more alchemists here, he thought that something might happen.
He just didnât expect things to go south so quickly.
âThey probably encountered some spies,â Jiang Hao said.
Lin Zhi and the others were not children. So, Jiang Hao wouldnât keep an eye on them every day.
He didnât expect problems to occur so soon.
Lin Moâs behavior wouldnât have caused any problems within the sect, but unfortunately, they had run into these people outside.
Well, hopefully, Lin Zhi had learned a lesson from this.
âDo we need to inform the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall?â Zheng Shijiu asked.
âYes.â Jiang Hao nodded.
The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall took Lin MO away.
Since the other two were not injured, they stayed back and completed the sectâs tasks.
Later, Liu Xingchen also arrived. He was responsible for investigating the situation.
âJunior Brother Jiang, you seem to run into trouble wherever you go,â he said.
âYou jest, Senior Brother. This time, it wasnât me,â said Jiang Hao.
âTell me what happened,â Liu Xingchen said with interest.
Jiang Hao remained calm. âIt seems the three juniors noticed something unusual and confronted somebody about it. The opponent turned out to be too powerful. It was my negligence, Senior Brother Liu.â
âJunior Brother Jiang, you must be joking. Itâs not your fault. Itâs good that you found the problem early. Thatâs good.â
Jiang Hao nodded and looked at Lin Zhi and Zhao Qingxue. They hadnât fully recovered yet. They still didnât understand what the cultivation path and the sect were about.
Although Lin Zhi was constantly beaten in the sect, even he was unaware of how terrifying the sect could be.
As for Zhao Qingxue, she had never seen the real side of the sect at the White Moon Lake. Their status was too high.
âI believe you told me to find something beforeâŠâ âDid you find anything?â Jiang Hao asked.
It was not easy to find that person.
âHavenât found the person yet. It seems like the sect is intentionally waiting for something. But you definitely found an important clue,â Liu Xingchen said with a smile.
âIs it someone important?â Jiang Hao asked.
âThe Lawless Tower has intervened. We still donât know for sure.â Liu Xingchen shook his head.
After talking for a while, Liu Xingchen left. He seemed very eager.
Jiang Hao looked at Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi.
âLetâs go back and rest. Weâll continue patrolling tomorrow. This time, the merit will be significant, and it will help with your task,â Jiang Hao said. Regardless, they had indeed achieved something. They were the first to know about the situation here.
Jiang Hao didnât know the details, but it seemed unrelated to the Great Thousand God Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect. Perhaps, after some time, Liu Xingchen would inform him of the developments.
As for Lin MO, he wouldnât die.
How he wanted to proceed from now on would depend on himself.
At the Enforcement Hall, Lin MO slowly sat up in the courtyard. His eyes no longer had the confident gleam from before.
It seemed like he had suffered an unimaginable blow.
He had been humiliated and beaten.
He covered his face, and tears streamed down his face.
âFeeling bad?â said a young man beside him.
âSenior Brother, I want to be alone right now,â Lin MO said. âDo you feel like a failure? Do you feel embarrassed?â the man asked.
Lin MO didnât say anything.
The man smiled. âItâs normal. Everyone is arrogant and reckless when they are young. Itâs not bad, but you need to understand the consequences that come with your actions. Donât think that you are different just because you are from the Law Enforcement Hall. If you think like that, you wonât be worthy of the Law Enforcement Hall. Master has high expectations for you. Thatâs why he asked you to follow Junior Brother Jiang. That person isnât ordinary. You will learn a lot if you follow him.. What did you think when you first saw him? Did you feel that he was a mere inner sect disciple who relied on Blood Wish Path to advance? Did you think that was all he was worth? You didnât want to debase yourself by associating with him..
