I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 311: Annihilation

Upon hearing these words, both individuals on the opposite side were filled with astonishment. Could this Li Shishu be here to help this Lin Fellow Daoist? The cultivator surnamed Zhao, in particular, had a drastic change in his expression. Without hesitation, he abandoned the ongoing battle and piloted his flying boat to escape.

"Fool, he's just a mere wandering cultivator. How could he have such a Shishu? If he had one before, how could he not know?"

After the cultivator named Zhao fled, the other cultivator surnamed Wang, who remained in place, cursed loudly. He seemed to be infuriated by his companion's desertion and foolishness.

However, deep down, he also had the faint thought of escaping. Although he believed it was unlikely that Lin Qing was Shishu to Lin Fellow Daoist, what if it were true?

At this moment, Lin Qing smiled and said, "When did I become your Shishu? Besides, my surname is not Li."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Fellow Daoist, who had managed to escape due to Zhao Fellow Daoist's flight, bowed to Lin Qing and said, "Senior, I had no other choice. Please forgive me. Senior, you may not know, but I made an agreement with these two individuals to come here and hunt demonic beasts. However, they had no intention of hunting demonic beasts at all. Instead, they wanted to take my life. Fortunately, I obtained this treasure that can forcibly absorb spiritual power to resist them. That's how I managed to survive until now. Luckily, Senior arrived today. If it weren't for Senior, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it this far."

After Lin Fellow Daoist finished speaking, Lin Qing nodded. Based on what had happened before, he believed that Lin Fellow Daoist was most likely not lying.

This person is quite clever. Without Lin Qing, he might not have survived until today. Lin Qing, who had come here, became his lifesaver. Although addressing Lin Qing as Shishu might offend him later, seizing this opportunity was a wise move.

"Senior, please don't just listen to his words. It was clearly the two of us who invited him to hunt demonic beasts, but he relied on his powerful magic treasure to try to kill us and seize our treasures. He has already taken the spiritual jade that we worked so hard to obtain. Senior, if you don't believe me, you can search him. It's on him," the remaining cultivator named Wang said.

"You..." Lin Fellow Daoist was about to speak, but Lin Qing raised his hand to stop him.

If there was any doubt about Lin Fellow Daoist's words before, it was now completely dispelled. This cultivator named Wang had clearly heard their conversation from above. The spiritual jade was obviously owned by the cultivator surnamed Lin, so how could it belong to the other two?

With this in mind, Lin Qing looked towards a nearby location and smiled.

The golden toad was hopping on the water's surface, quickly approaching them. It had a humanoid object in its mouth.

As it got closer, it became clear that it was the fleeing Zhao Fellow Daoist.

Both individuals who remained in place revealed shock, while Lin Fellow Daoist showed surprise mixed with a hint of joy. On the other hand, Wang Fellow Daoist's expression became even more unsightly.

"Bang!"

The golden toad, which had caught Zhao Fellow Daoist, threw him onto Wang Fellow Daoist's flying boat before shrinking and perching on Lin Qing's shoulder. Lin Qing, who was smiling at this moment, looked at them.

"Senior, what I said is absolutely true. Those two..."

"Senior, please don't listen to his nonsense. It's obvious that..."

Lin Fellow Daoist and Wang Fellow Daoist were about to argue again, but Lin Qing waved his hand to stop them. He then said, "Don't rush to speak. Later, I will extract your souls one by one, and then everything will be revealed. No matter who tries to deceive me, they won't be able to hide it."

"Ah?"

These two individuals were immediately shocked and rendered speechless.

Lin Qing looked strangely at the captured Zhao Fellow Daoist, wondering why there was no movement. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Zhao Fellow Daoist had died at some point.

Lin Qing looked at the Purple Golden Toad, which had an innocent look in its eyes. Lin Qing understood the situation and realized that after being captured by the Purple Golden Toad, Zhao Fellow Daoist had lost all his spiritual power and died here, most likely frozen to death.

"Quite impressive," Lin Qing whispered. Although the Purple Mansion without spiritual power was not necessarily powerful, the fact that it had been frozen to death in such a short time demonstrated the power of the Coldwater Abyss. This made Lin Qing even more eager for his future treasures.

Ling Fellow Daoist and Wang Fellow Daoist also noticed something unusual about Zhao Fellow Daoist. At this moment, they couldn't say anything and understood that their lives were in Lin Qing's hands.

Even Ling Fellow Daoist, who boldly called Lin Qing "Master Uncle," dared not do anything now. His eyes kept moving, and it was unclear what he was thinking. But soon, he showed a look of resignation. Regardless of the means, it was probably useless in front of Lin Qing, a Gold Core cultivator. It was even more likely that he couldn't pass the test of the spiritual beast on his body.

"Alright, now that he's dead, you can accompany him," Lin Qing said.

Lin Qing's words about soul extraction were meant to scare these two people, but after Zhao Fellow Daoist's death, his companion Wang Fellow Daoist naturally couldn't stay any longer.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fellow Daoist tried to escape in panic, but after flying a few zhang away, he shouted and fell onto a disc-shaped magical treasure, which then fell into the Coldwater Abyss.

Seeing Lin Qing's unpredictable methods, Ling Fellow Daoist beside him couldn't say anything. He realized that today might be the day he would lose his life.

However, Lin Qing just smiled and asked, "Do you know what forces are behind these two? Answer honestly, or you should know the consequences."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Ling Fellow Daoist was initially stunned, but immediately replied, "Senior, we three are all independent cultivators with no background. You can rest assured."

Ling Fellow Daoist was quite interesting. He had just introduced the backgrounds of the other two people but inadvertently included himself. Now, he was probably even more unconcerned about the senior in front of him.

Lin Qing shook his head, not caring. Knowing that they had no background put his mind at ease. As for Ling Fellow Daoist, he hadn't done anything worthy of being killed, so Lin Qing didn't want to treat him as an enemy.

"Alright, since that's the case, keep today's events to yourself and don't mention them to anyone in the future. You can leave now," Lin Qing said.

"This..." Ling Fellow Daoist was even more surprised, but looking at Lin Qing's smiling expression, he gratefully said, "Thank you, Senior. Thank you, Senior. Please rest assured, I swear on my life that I will never reveal today's events."

Lin Qing nodded. He wasn't worried about this. After all, even if it was revealed, who would bother a Gold Core cultivator like him? The trouble would most likely fall on Ling Fellow Daoist first. He probably wouldn't be that foolish.

After Ling Fellow Daoist finished speaking, he controlled his magical treasure and left. Lin Qing didn't pay him any more attention and looked at the storage bags on the two people from earlier. There was quite a fortune, so he silently put them away.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

After collecting the storage bags, Lin Qing was puzzled to see that Ling Fellow Daoist's flying boat hadn't gone far.

Ling Fellow Daoist looked extremely embarrassed at this moment and said to Lin Qing, "Senior, I found traces of the Phosphorescent Fire Beast over there. This beast is extremely beneficial to my cultivation technique. I want to capture it before leaving. Please allow me to stay a little longer."
