Outside of Xuanmiao City, in the State of You

Lin Jiang’s reaction was remarkable. When Zhou Huaiying asked that question, Lin Jiang realized it was not good. Zhou Huaiying was really after his wealth.

However, Small Shadiao’s reaction was not as quick as Lin Jiang’s. Zhou Huaiying was surprised to see Lin Jiang disappear so decisively and then he slapped Small Shadiao with his palm.

Without any hesitation, Small Shadiao flew backward, even though their demonic body was very strong, they had no resistance against the difference in strength.

"Ah"

Small Shadiao screamed in pain. Zhou Huaiying held back, otherwise Small Shadiao would have surely died. But now he was only severely injured. Then Zhou Huaiying used his hand to bring Small Shadiao back.

"Tianxuan Sect handles internal affairs, outsiders please step aside"

Zhou Huaiying revealed his identity as a member of Tianxuan Sect and said to the people around him. It caught the attention not only of the normal cultivators coming in and out, but even the four major families who were blocking the road also noticed. But when Zhou Huaiying said this, it was clear that no one wanted to bother with this matter.

It’s not easy being a good person in the cultivation world. If you meddle in other people’s business, you’ll become involved. If you claim you’re not involved, then why did you bother in the first place?

"Xiao Yi, come out. I know you haven’t gone far. After hundreds of years of being together as a fourth-tier beast pet, you must have a deep bond."

Zhou Huaiying held onto Small Shadiao and said calmly. A fourth-tier beast pet, there is only one in the Tianxuan Sect. It takes countless resources and effort to raise it to the fourth tier. Who would be willing to give up so easily?

"Zhou Huaiying, you’re shameless."

Lin Jiang’s voice came through. Lin Jiang used a little trick to prevent Zhou Huaiying from locking onto his location, and Lin Jiang kept changing his position.

"I just said that if a person doesn’t care about others, they will have bad things happen to them. You’ve earned so much more than me in these years, even more than I have. With your wealth like a treasure, who will suffer if you don’t die?"

Zhou Huaiying said that he only found out in the past two years that Lin Jiang actually owns 10% of the shares in the goods sold by Longmen Trading Company in Xiaotian City. That means he earns at least millions of spirit stones every year.

In addition to Lin Jiang’s speculative behavior, he earns an unbelievable amount. Nobody knows how many houses Lin Jiang bought at a low price, but he definitely knows. He truly earns more than anyone else.

Can you tolerate someone with a golden core earning more than your Void Achieving status?

"Aren’t you afraid that Lin Batian will kill you?"

"Lin Batian, haha, he can’t even protect himself. He should focus on saving his own life first."

"Shameless! I’ve been respectful and filial to you all these years, and yet you treat me like this."

"Your so-called respect is worth nothing compared to killing you. Everything will then belong to me."

"You killed Wei Lin too, didn’t you?"

Lin Jiang suddenly thought of Wei Lin. Wei Dao pointed the finger at Tianxuan Sect. Lin Jiang didn’t believe it at first because Tianxuan Sect had no motive to kill Wei Lin. Ŗ

But now, it seems that he was completely wrong. There’s basically no escape. It was Zhou Huaiying who did it.

"Yes, so what?"

"Why? Just for money? Can’t we live peacefully and flourish?"

"Wei Lin may be a little poor, but he’s quite wealthy. Killing him is not a bad idea."

Zhou Huaiying said, but the truth is not like that. He killed Wei Lin because Wei Lin became suspicious about his secret.

Back then, he wanted to collaborate with Lin Jiang and obtain Human Demon from North State. His plan was to devour the blood of those Human Demons. But Lin Jiang didn’t agree. Later, Wei Lin approached him willingly, offering to do it. He wanted to make more money for Taixu Sect.

After that, Wei Lin kept providing him with Human Demons. Most of them would go through the black market outside the city, with men becoming slaves and women becoming prostitutes. They would be secretly disposed of after some time, and no one knew where they went. After all, in the eyes of cultivators, these Human Demons were treated worse than slaves.

However, Wei Lin was too fond of the women and often lingered in the black market outside the city. He noticed that the consumption of Human Demons was too fast. Wei Lin thought that Zhou Huaiying must have other ways to get rich. He took the initiative to explain this to him. In that case, there was no other choice but to get rid of Wei Lin.

"Found you."

Zhou Huaiying was not idle. He appeared to be chatting, but in reality, he was trying to keep Lin Jiang stable. He constantly used his senses to search the area and, while speaking, he had already locked onto Lin Jiang.

Immediately, Zhou Huaiying took action. His long sword sliced through the air, aiming directly at Lin Jiang’s location. Under the gleaming sword, Lin Jiang’s body shattered, but no blood or flesh splattered out.

"Pfft."

"Clone Symbol."

Zhou Huaiying frowned. It was an illusion created by the Clone Symbol.

Lin Jiang, hidden in the shadows, also observed Zhou Huaiying. He had already used the art of invisibility, a highly advanced secret technique. However, his skill level was much lower than Zhou Huaiying’s, and even the slightest movement could expose him.

Lin Jiang had originally planned to use this move to lure Zhou Huaiying away and rescue Small Shadiao. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huaiying had not let go of Small Shadiao, rendering his plan ineffective.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Jiang didn’t want to give up on Small Shadiao. Small Shadiao had been with him since his time in the Lin family, for over four hundred years. Although they often played around, it didn’t affect their bond. Lin Jiang truly considered him as family.

"With your beast pet in hand, I’m not afraid of you not coming out, Aurora falcon, right? Without wings, let’s see how you fly."

Zhou Huaiying looked at the Small Shadiao in his hand, showing a cruel look. Then he directly tore off Small Shadiao’s arm, and Small Shadiao, who was still unconscious, screamed in pain again.

"Don’t panic, you won’t die."

Zhou Huaiying continued, then took out a pill and stuffed it into Small Shadiao’s mouth. He still wanted to use Small Shadiao to lure Lin Jiang out, so of course he wouldn’t let him die.

"You old thief!"

Moments later, Lin Jiang appeared. He showed up in the sky above the main road outside Xuanmiao City. Cultivators at the Qi Refining Period couldn’t fly very far, so the roads were still important. Many cultivators were entering and exiting there.

"Your heart is still too soft."

"Stop right there and don’t move. Look…"

Just as Zhou Huaiying was about to make a move, Lin Jiang shouted loudly. Then he took out a storage bag and unsealed its restriction. Countless things instantly dropped from the sky, including spirit stones, pills, herbs, minerals, and other valuable items.

These things fell down, and the cultivators on the road quickly noticed and immediately started grabbing them.

"Old thief Zhou, you wanted money, right? Come on, see if you can kill me faster or if I can throw the things out faster. Do you have the ability to kill everyone here?"

Lin Jiang shouted loudly, and the nearby cultivators were alarmed. At least hundreds of people gathered, and more and more were coming.

Zhou Huaiying’s face turned dark, and he said. You’re looking for death. I won’t even give you a quick death.

"Set him free."

"If you dare, come and take it."

"Hehe."

Lin Jiang opened another storage bag, and countless supplies fell out. The lower-level cultivators below went crazy and desperately grabbed them. Any random thing was worth half a year’s income for them. How could they not go crazy?

Zhou Huaiying was also going crazy. He looked at those people grabbing things with intense heartache. The pure white spirit stones were actually being shared with the poor beggars. He couldn’t tolerate this anymore.

"Release"

"I will release him, but if you dare throw another one, I will kill him"

"See, they’re all yours, release"

Lin Jiang lifted up his shirt and revealed a row of storage bags around his waist, showcasing his wealthy status. Not many cultivators would do this, but Lin Jiang was different.

"Fine, I’ll release"

"Wait, wake it up and let it go. I’m just a golden core. Without the Aurora falcon, I can’t outrun you. I’ll stay here."

"You’re willing to give up your life for him?"

"He is my brother, we’ve been together for hundreds of years. What’s wrong with sacrificing everything for a brother? Not everyone is as cold-hearted as you."

"Okay, I promise you"

Zhou Huaiying used magic to wake up the unconscious Small Shadiao, and then threw him out.

"Dad…"

Small Shadiao cried out in pain. He was so unlucky. Before he could react, he was severely injured and knocked unconscious. Now his wings were shattered, and it hurt so much.

"Go away, hurry!"

"I’m not leaving."

"If you don’t leave, I’ll roast you."

Lin Jiang scolded loudly. Then he secretly transmitted a message to Small Shadiao, who hurriedly fled.

Even though his wings were gone, he could still fly. He had reached the fourth level. It wasn’t just his wings that allowed him to fly. It’s just that his speed had become much slower.

"Boom"

Zhou Huaiying was not polite. While the two of them were talking, he pounced directly in front of Lin Jiang and killed him with a single move, blood and flesh splattering on the ground.

"Is that how he died?"

Zhou Huaiying couldn’t believe it. Lin Jiang was a person full of conspiracies and tricks. He had even sought guidance from the Divine Kingdom. How could he have died so easily? But the blood and flesh…

Zhou Huaiying took Lin Jiang’s belt, which had over ten storage bags on it. When he opened the first one, it was packed full. But when he opened the second one, Zhou Huaiying’s expression suddenly changed because it was empty.

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

Even after opening seven or eight of them, they were all empty. Zhou Huaiying’s anger had reached its boiling point. Even a fool could tell that he had been deceived. The other person definitely hadn’t died.
