Chapter 57: More danger than good
Due to the urgency of the situation, Lin Que immediately bid farewell to Su Yuyan.
However, Su Yuyan's gaze towards him carried a meaningful smile.
This left Lin Que completely baffled.
There are fifteen days left before the start of the Qingyun Sect trial. The journey to Lieyang Canyon takes two days, so the round trip takes four days.
This means Lin Que only has eleven days left to break through.
As for what Su Yuyan said about the girl also participating in the Qingyun Sect trial, Lin Que was not particularly surprised.
After all, he had long suspected that the girl possessed the cultivation of the Innate Realm, and she had come all the way to the Imperial City, so he could guess what was going on.
What Lin Que was curious about was why the girl didn't save her own family members back then.
Is her strength just for show?
He shook his head, deciding not to think too much about it; he would know after participating in the trial.
"Fuck!"
The moment Lin Que stepped out of the trading company, he immediately swore!
"Fellow Daoists! He's finally out!"
"Come on!"
"Fellow Daoist, would you consider joining my Flying Eagle Sect?"
"Little brother, welcome to the Hehuan Sect!"
"..."
Damn it! How come there are demonic sects within the imperial city? The name "Hehuan Sect" doesn't sound very respectable!
At this moment, the area outside the trading company was packed with people. Lin Que, with his sharp eyes, noticed a burly man in the crowd throwing him flirty glances!
Ugh~!
No wonder Su Yuyan looked at me with a meaningful smile just now.
No hesitation!
"boom!"
He turned around and closed the door!
It's better not to break through to the Innate Realm!
"Hehehe~~~" Su Yuyan came downstairs at this moment, laughing and saying, "What, Young Master Lin, aren't you going to Blazing Sun Canyon?"
Lin Que said speechlessly, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? No wonder you were smiling so meaningfully just now!"
"Oh dear! How could I dare!"
"It's all because you left in such a hurry, Young Master Lin, that I didn't even get a chance to finish what I was saying."
Su Yuyan's smile was still unstoppable, it was as if the word "deliberate" was written all over her face.
Lin Que looked out the window and felt a headache coming on. He then asked, "Do you have any way to get me out?"
Su Yuyan, having probably finished laughing, said in a serious tone, "Of course there is. Come with me, I'll take you out through the back door of the trading company."
Afterwards, Lin Que finally left the merchant guild without incident. This time, just in case, he borrowed a mask from Su Yuyan to cover his face.
"Phew! We're finally out of the city!"
After leaving the city, Lin Que immediately headed towards the Blazing Sun Canyon.
......
After two days of trekking, Lin Que finally arrived at the Blazing Sun Canyon.
"Why is it so hot here?"
As soon as he stepped in, a wave of heat hit Lin Que, making him mutter to himself, "You know, it's autumn now."
The weather should be cool.
As Lin Que ventured deeper into the canyon, he was astonished to find that the area was completely barren, with the entire canyon appearing as if it had been scorched, presenting a cracked and parched landscape.
Just as Lin Que was thinking about how to find a breakthrough opportunity here, two unfamiliar and powerful auras suddenly rushed towards him from behind.
This made Lin Que's hair stand on end instantly, and he couldn't help but become vigilant!
"who is it?!"
Lin Que drew the long sword from behind him and questioned the two auras.
"Hehe! Old Mo, it must be him, right?"
"That's right, the aura on the soul imprint is his!"
Two different voices rang out, and behind Lin Que, two figures slowly appeared, who turned out to be two white-haired old men.
One was dressed in white, and the other in black.
The two old men's eyes were slightly gloomy as they stared intently at Lin Que!
Lin Que asked warily, "What business do you two have with me?"
Lin Que could sense that both of these old men were at the Life Sea Realm!
The old man in black said in a sinister tone, "Heh heh, kid, we are elders of Blood Demon Valley!"
"Now you know why I'm looking for you, right?"
Oops!
"Wishing you both good health! May Blood Demon Valley flourish! Have a pleasant visit!"
"Bye-Bye!"
As soon as Lin Que finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran away!
"Ha! Still trying to run?"
"Take your life!"
The old man in black caught up and unleashed a palm strike at Lin Que's back!
Arriving at a cliff in a canyon, seeing that he couldn't escape, Lin Que reversed his grip on his sword, turned around, and blocked the palm strike.
"Om~!"
The palm strike landed on the sword, nearly causing Lin Que to drop his longsword.
With a somersault, Lin Que instantly widened the distance between the two.
The old man in black looked relaxed, clearly indicating that he hadn't exerted much force in that palm strike.
Another elderly man in white caught up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Que, confronting him.
"Today looks like it's going to be a terrible day!"
"It seems we have no choice but to fight! Perhaps this is the only way we can have a chance!"
Lin Que muttered to himself, a bead of sweat sliding down his forehead, his eyes slowly hardening.
He said to the two old men, "Heh! Blood Demon Valley really thinks highly of me, actually sending two people at the Life Sea Realm to kill a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator!"
The old man in white said, "Hehe! This is called being prepared!"
"Boy! Surrender now!"
"You can't escape!" the old man in black shouted at Lin Que.
After saying that, the two old men, one in black and one in white, attacked Lin Que together.
"The blue lotus is in bloom!"
With a flick of his longsword like a swimming dragon, a giant lotus flower rose up, meeting the attack of the two old men head-on.
The two elderly men still took the blows with their bare hands, showing no fear whatsoever.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Lin Que was jolted back several steps.
Upon closer inspection, however, they were horrified!
The two elderly men were unharmed and looked completely relaxed!
"I told you to surrender!"
"Heh heh! A mere Qi Gathering Stage Great Perfection cultivator thinks he can rival us!"
"That's ridiculous!"
In the next few clashes, Lin Que gained no advantage whatsoever; the two old men were clearly playing him for a fool.
"Azure Lotus Flower!"
Lotus blossoms rose in the air, and Lin Que's longsword transformed into a swift lightning bolt—this was his most energy-consuming move.
"laugh!"
This time, both old men had cuts on their palms, and blood was flowing freely!
"Hehe! This is interesting!"
"You actually managed to hurt us!"
The white-robed elder said with a sinister smile, while the black-robed elder seemed somewhat angry, saying, "How dare you, you insignificant ants, harm us!"
Simply unforgivable!
Lin Que's face was pale at this moment. There was nothing he could do. Qing Lianhua had consumed too much energy, and even this only caused the two of them to bleed a little.
The old man in black clearly didn't want to play along anymore. He took out a curved blade and attacked Lin Que; it was obviously his weapon.
"Death!"
There was no other way but to resort to that last resort!
Lin Que slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, exuding a calm aura.
Everything calmed down!
Something feels off!
The white-robed elder frowned and immediately shouted at the black-robed elder, "Old Mo! Get out of the way! This person is extremely suspicious!!!"
By the time the old man in black heard the old man in white's words, it was already too late!
He himself also sensed that dangerous aura.
Lin Que calmly slashed his longsword across the black-clad old man with a strange movement.
"Old Man Mo!!!"
The old man in white was shouting frantically behind him!
The old man in black stared wide-eyed, speechless!
A moment later, blood inexplicably gushed from the old man's chest, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud!
After using this move, Lin Que had no strength left, and he staggered unsteadily, unable to stand up.
"I want you to die!!!"
The remaining white-robed elder rushed to Lin Que and unleashed a palm strike!
Lin Que accepted his fate; there was nothing he could do, killing one was already his limit.
"boom!"
That palm strike landed on Lin Que, who instantly coughed up blood and flew off the cliff.
It plummeted into the valley.
It feels so familiar, another fall off a cliff, but this time it looks like things are going to end badly.
It's incredibly hot here, and there probably isn't even a drop of water below the cliff.
Lin Que's consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell rapidly.
His fate is unknown...
