Chapter 912 Misjudging
"What...does this mean?"
"It seems this killing formation was set up by your Spirit Clan, wasn't it?"
Among the crowd in front of the Spirit Lake, Saintess Lingyun frowned as she looked at Zhan Xiao, who was blocking her way, and couldn't understand the man's actions at all.
Through the conversation between her own holy land elder and the spirit race patriarch, Saintess Lingyun already knew the cause and effect of the matter. Those spirit race people wanted to exterminate them, the people in the formation, to avenge the oppression and coercion they had suffered.
But Zhan Xiao's actions now are clearly somewhat contradictory.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiao glanced back at Saintess Lingyun out of the corner of his eye and said in a deep voice, "I, Zhan Xiao, am not someone who doesn't distinguish between gratitude and grudges. Ever since you bought me that day, I have seen how good you have been to me."
"They not only healed my wounds, but also did not bully or coerce me like other sects and forces."
"So I know very well that you are different from these greedy and despicable people."
"But at the same time, I also have my own stance. I can no longer allow these despicable people to harm my people, so all I can say to you is 'I'm sorry'!"
"I did this just to avoid feeling bad. If I'm going to die, I'll die in front of you."
"Although in the end you will also..."
Having said that, Zhan Xiao stopped talking and continued to block the killing swords falling on Lingyun Saintess.
"you..."
"Oh~!"
At this moment, the Holy Maiden Lingyun was already stunned by Zhan Xiao's words, and after a long while, she let out a soft sigh!
There was nothing she could do; she couldn't interfere with the decisions of the elders in her own sacred land, and she couldn't deny or criticize the actions of the Spirit Clan at this moment.
After all, she didn't cause this hatred and grudge, but since she was the Holy Maiden of Lingyun Holy Land, she had no choice but to accept it.
Thinking of this, Saintess Lingyun immediately glanced around and saw corpses falling in the midst of these killing swords, their blood staining the oasis red, causing a trace of sorrow to flash in her eyes!
The mistakes of the sect's elders are being borne by the younger generation.
However, she forgot that these younger generations were also enjoying the blessings brought by the elders of the sect.
......
"So that's how it is..."
"No wonder that woman knew his name."
"Given that kind of person's character, how could anyone else possibly know if they didn't reveal it voluntarily?"
In the distance, Lin Que, who was easily parrying with his sword, smiled. He had obviously overheard the conversation between the two men and understood the gist of the matter.
"Lin Que, what should we do now?"
"How long will it take for this killing formation to stop operating?"
"This scene is truly..."
At this moment, Tang Wanrou, who was standing next to Lin Que, looked at the scene in front of her with a hint of pity and immediately asked a question.
As for Gu Cai'er and Jiang Xiaoliu, the two children were already terrified by the corpses scattered all over the ground. They gripped Lin Que's clothes tightly with their hands, one on each side, while their bodies trembled incessantly!
Clearly, they had never seen such a cruel and bloody scene before.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que glanced around at the surroundings and the Spirit Race people outside the formation, then smiled faintly and said, "This great formation probably won't stop until everyone inside is killed."
"Wh...what?!" Lin Que's words immediately caused Tang Wanrou and the other two to exclaim in surprise!
However, their exclamation attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators who were desperately resisting the killing swords, and all of them looked at them with a strange expression!
They were astonished by how easily Lin Que, wielding his sword, could deflect several deadly swords aimed at them with a mere wave of his hand, unlike themselves who had to expend a great deal of spiritual energy to block even a single sword strike. The contrast was simply too stark.
For a moment, the cultivators who were struggling to resist all had some thoughts in their minds.
Sensing the strange looks around them, Tang Wanrou and the other two immediately thought to themselves, "This is bad!"
He quickly lowered his voice again and asked, "So what should we do now?"
Lin Que rolled his eyes upon hearing this, and said with a mix of annoyance and amusement, "You're still trying to lower your voice? They've already noticed us, you know."
as predicted!
Some cultivators, unable to withstand the killing sword strikes, immediately cried out to Lin Que, "Fellow Daoist, could you please help us?"
"We will definitely be richly rewarded afterwards!"
After saying that, the cultivators tried to move closer to Lin Que and his group, but their voices attracted the attention of a large group of cultivators, which was obviously intentional.
It seems they were afraid Lin Que wouldn't agree, so they tried to pressure him with moral excuses.
After all, you can't very well refuse in front of so many people, can you?
If that's the case, then your reputation in the Tianyun Continent will be ruined!
Unfortunately, these people's wishful thinking is probably wrong. Lin Que doesn't care about reputation at all, and he lets others say whatever they want.
Besides, he's not from the Tianyun Continent.
"roll!"
Upon seeing a large group of cultivators converging on him, Lin Que immediately uttered a single word in a cold voice!
Boom—
In an instant, his words resonated like a thunderclap, causing the entire world to tremble!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure erupted from Lin Que's body, causing the cultivators who wanted to approach Lin Que and his companions to be blasted back and cough up blood, unable to even block it!
"What...what's wrong now?"
"Could there be some other danger?!"
"Then we're doomed! Just blocking these deadly swords has exhausted us..."
"wrong!"
"Look over there!!!"
"..."
In the distance, the crowds around the Spirit Lake also felt the earth-shaking tremor and witnessed the shocking scene that filled them with horror!
However, people quickly recovered from their shock and exclaimed in surprise as they watched Lin Que holding a sword and easily parrying the killing blow!
"Isn't that...that skinny guy from the Mingyun City auction?!"
"How...how is this possible!"
"How could it be him?!"
"This person...is he not just an ordinary mortal?!"
"Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a mere mortal who could blast away a large number of cultivators at the Life Sea Realm and Golden Core Realm simply by using his aura?"
"Then why...why couldn't we see his strength back then?!"
"Hehe, do you think it's possible that that person's strength has become so great that even you and I can't see through it?"
"No...I don't believe it...I don't believe it!!!"
"..."
At this moment, everyone in the oasis was stunned by Lin Que's performance, including many of the cultivators who had participated in the auction.
Not only them, but even the Holy Maiden Lingyun stared blankly at Lin Que, who was grinning at her!
Her beautiful eyes, as bright as starlight, were filled with disbelief...
