Chapter 474: Chapter 171 Leaving
Lin Jing and Xu Ye arrived at the thatched cottage, and with a mere extension of his hand, Xu Ye pushed the door open directly.
Then, what was revealed was the interior arrangement of the cottageâŠ
Lin Jing looked at the thatched cottage, feeling an immense sense of familiarity. It was indeed the dwelling place of the Divine Transformation Cultivator.
That Divine Transformation Cultivator was not here.
It was likely that earlier, when Lin Jing was about to undergo his Tribulation, the Divine Transformation Cultivator had intended to intervene.
But he was wounded by the Heavenly Tribulation, no doubt seriously.
Therefore, he had no choice but to use the Teleportation Array to leave.
If he were still here, probably none of them, Lin Jing and his companions, would have escaped.
âŠâŠ
The cottageâs interior was very simple, exactly the same as Lin Jing had seen before.
However, in the very center of the cottage, there was a wellâŠ
Xu Ye, upon seeing the well, was very curious and quickly walked up to look insideâŠ
âEh?â
No sooner had Xu Ye leaned over than he cried out in astonishment.
After which, upon realizing what it was, he was utterly shocked:
âThisâŠâ
âLin Daoyou, come quicklyâŠâ
Lin Jing then also went over and looked down into the wellâŠ
He saw reflected within the well the scene of none other than the Devouring Spirit Blood RealmâŠ
The blood-red earth, and the Sea of Blood, which had once again become tranquilâŠ
And those blood corpses, after Lin Jing and his companions departed, had once more entered the Sea of Blood.
Most of those blood corpses were cultivators like themselves who had been deceived into entering.
However, these people had not been able to walk out of the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm alive, all having become blood corpses left inside.
This included Qi Yuanshu and Jian Yunxiang among othersâŠ
Less than two hundred managed to leave the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.
But a large portion of these two hundred couldnât make it even out of the plains, their bones buried within this relicâŠ
Now, including Lin Jing and Xu Ye, only fifty-two people had survived.
After watching for a while, Lin Jing, finding it uninteresting, left the well and walked a circle within the cottage.
This thatched cottage was just the extremely ordinary kind.
Nothing special about it, probably built by that Divine Transformation Cultivator before.
After allâŠ
Besides him, there was no one else here.
Itâs just that Lin Jing still didnât know who that Divine Transformation Cultivator was, what his name was.
As for the previous threats of the Divine Transformation Cultivator, Lin Jing didnât really take them to heart.
Because, when Lin Jing underwent his Tribulation, he had concealed his true appearance and aura.
After practicing the Changyun Hidden Technique, one could deceive cultivators who were two major realms higher in cultivation than oneself.
Lin Jing, at the Golden Core Peak, was just able to deceive that Divine Transformation Cultivator.
So, Lin Jing was not afraid of being exposed at all.
As long as he changed back to his own appearance after leaving, it would be very difficult for the Divine Transformation Cultivator to find him again.
By then, Lin Jing could also hide in the dark, investigating the true identity of the Divine Transformation Cultivator.
After circling the thatched cottage and finding nothing, Lin Jing left the cottage with Xu Ye.
As the two came out, the Wu-named cultivator immediately approached, asking with confusion:
âXu DaoyouâŠâ
âLin DaoyouâŠâ
âWhat is inside the cottage?â
Xu Ye responded directly:
âGo and take a look for yourself, and you will knowâŠâ
The Wu-named cultivator nodded, then entered the cottage.
After a short while, the Wu-named cultivator inside the house let out the same sound as Xu YeâŠ
âEh?â
âThisâŠâ
The cultivators gathered outside, hearing this, also became curious and looked towards the thatched cottage.
At this moment.
Lin Jing and Xu Ye had already walked out of the courtyard.
The cultivators outside looked questioningly towards the thatched cottage, and then glanced at Lin Jing and Xu YeâŠ
Seeing this, Xu Ye addressed the crowd:
âThose who want to take a look, go ahead, donât mind us.â
Hearing Xu Ye say this, the cultivators then swarmed into the courtyard and made their way towards the thatched cottageâŠ
Xu Ye then turned around and said to Lin Jing:
âLin DaoyouâŠâ
âWe are about to leave soon.â
Lin Jing nodded, saying:
âYesâŠâ
Xu Ye continued:
âI do not know where Lin Daoyou resides, but if there is time, I would like to visit to discuss our DaoâŠâ
Lin Jing nodded and then said:
âIf Xu Daoyou wishes to find me, you can directly come to Li Yan Island in the Thousand Islands DomainâŠâ
Upon hearing this, Xu Ye nodded slightly:
âThousand Islands Domain, Li Yan IslandâŠâ
âAlrightâŠâ
âIf thereâs time, I will certainly visit Lin Daoyou.â
Lin Jing gave a slight smile and said,
âYou are most welcomeâŠâ
âŠâŠ
Soon, several more hours had passed.
The Teleportation Array had finally been repaired and completed.
By this time, the others had already finished touring the thatched cottage.
One by one, they were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating and restingâŠ
Upon hearing the news that the Teleportation Array was repaired, everyone was overjoyed, opening their eyes one after another and standing up to approach the Teleportation Array.
Having been trapped in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm for so many years, everyone was in danger, and now, hearing the news that the Teleportation Array was fixed,
how could they not be excited?
Not to mention the other Cultivators, even Lin Jing himself felt a sense of joy that he could finally leave.
At this moment, the Blue-Robed Cultivator was explaining the situation of the Teleportation Array to a Cultivator surnamed Wu:
âWu DaoyouâŠâ
âThis Teleportation Array is a random one. Its range isnât very wide, just within the area of the Thousand Islands Domain in the southern outer seas.â
âFurthermoreâŠâ
âThis Teleportation Array may have a slight deviation during the teleportation, but the deviation should not exceed ten thousand sea milesâŠâ
Ten thousand sea miles might seem far, but to the entirety of the southern outer seas, it wasnât much.
This deviation was within an acceptable range for everyone present.
Upon hearing this, the Cultivator surnamed Wu nodded and said,
âAlrightâŠâ
âSince the Teleportation Array has been completed, then we can leave now.â
âSo whoâs going first?â
At this point, the ones who had just been excited now fell silent.
Perhaps they still couldnât believe it, or perhaps they were still worried about the Teleportation ArrayâŠ
This time, surprisingly, not a single person stepped forwardâŠ
Seeing this, the Blue-Robed Cultivator quickly said to everyone,
âEveryoneâŠâ
âThis Teleportation Array is definitely reliable, you donât need to worryâŠâ
However, as soon as the Blue-Robed Cultivator said this, the Cultivators still did not move.
So the Blue-Robed Cultivator directly said,
âEveryoneâŠâ
âIf thatâs the case, then Iâll go first.â
âTo spare you all any worry!â
After saying this, he strode forward and stood on the Teleportation Array.
As he stepped on it, the light of the Teleportation Array slowly started to glow.
It was at this moment that the Blue-Robed Cultivator directly clasped his hands towards Lin Jing and said,
âSenior LinâŠâ
âFor the previous matter, I once again apologize to senior. If I get out, youâre welcome to visit Yue Tian Island, and I shall compensate youâŠâ
Lin Jing looked at the Blue-Robed Cultivator and gently noddedâŠ
As for going to Yue Tian Island, Lin Jing didnât entertain the thought.
But considering that the Blue-Robed Cultivator, after that incident, had behaved properly all along this journey,
and also because he had repaired the Teleportation Array they would use to leave, Lin Jing naturally wouldnât dwell on the past issue anymore.
His nod was to let this person be at ease.
âŠâŠ
Afterwards, the white light brightened, becoming so blinding that one couldnât keep their eyes openâŠ
Following a âwhoosh,â the white light dissipated, and the Blue-Robed Cultivator was teleported awayâŠ
After the Blue-Robed Cultivator had been teleported out, the others eagerly responded, wishing to leave as well.
Thus,
Under the arrangements of the Cultivator surnamed Wu, these Cultivators were all teleported out, one after another.
Lin Jing and Xu Ye, the two of them waited until almost everyone had leftâŠ
Leaving just the Cultivator surnamed Wu and a few other Array Masters.
Only then did the two of them move forward.
The Cultivator surnamed Wu was responsible for arranging everyoneâs departure, so he stayed until the end, while those Array Masters stayed behind in case anything unforeseen happened with the Formation.
These few remained till the last.
Similarly, Lin Jing and Xu Ye had the highest Cultivation.
If anything were to occur, they would be able to act defensively; therefore, they werenât in a rush to leave.
Now, only a few of them remained.
It was time for Lin Jing and Xu Ye to leave.
Approaching the Formation, Lin Jing stepped onto it.
Then, as the light from the Formation brightened, Lin Jing also felt the tearing force brought by the teleportation.
At this moment,
Xu Ye spoke up, cupping his fists towards Lin Jing,
âLin Daoyou, weâll meet again somedayâŠâ
Lin Jing replied in kind, clasping his fist,
âUntil we meet againâŠâ
Immediately following this, Lin Jingâs voice fell,
and the Teleportation Array was already activated, whisking Lin Jing away from that placeâŠ
