Chapter 167: Karmic Cycle, All is Fate
“I’m not leaving!”
If he didn’t tell him why, he wouldn’t leave.
Lin Qingyue stood stubbornly in place, looking him straight in the eye. “I can help too.”
If there really was danger, he would know to run himself.
Ye Jingxian was expressionless. “You go first, I will follow shortly.”
Clad in black, he stood before him. A gust of wind blew past his hem, curling up tiny specks of dust. Astonishing sword intent burst forth from his blade.
Vast and majestic spiritual power surged through his body, forming a barrier in front of the rat demons.
Like this, he didn’t look like he would follow shortly at all. Instead, he looked like he wouldn’t stop until these rat demons were exterminated.
Lin Qingyue gripped his sword and shouted again, “Da Shixiong.”
The other party had his back to him. Aside from the broad back, Lin Qingyue could see nothing.
He didn’t leave, and Ye Jingxian didn’t force him away. The sword in his hand never stopped, and the blood on the blade never dried.
Looking at this scene, Lin Qingyue’s brows knitted tight. This was Ye Jingxian; he couldn’t persuade him at all.
Moreover, the current him wasn’t his Xiao Shidi, so how could he expect him to listen to advice?
Ye Jingxian was like a tireless machine—coldly, mechanically, without a shred of emotion, striking out and killing incessantly. In the end, only a field of corpses remained on the ground.
His clothes were already stained with blood. The last drop of blood splashed onto his brow bone, sliding down the protruding ridge and dripping onto the ground. The blood, carrying demon Qi, wasn’t that red. Lin Qingyue subconsciously wanted to wipe it away for him.
But the hand he reached out was retracted halfway. His body was full of malevolent aura, his cold brows devoid of emotion.
Lin Qingyue pursed his lips, his emotions complicated. “Da Shixiong.”
The next moment, the man collapsed. Lin Qingyue caught him, shouting in panic, “Da Shixiong.”
“Are you okay?”
Bai Dou reached out a small hand and poked his hand, staring at him with round eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyue patted Bai Dou to comfort it. “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
These words were for Bai Dou, and also for himself.
There was a defensive array point ahead. Once they got there, they could properly treat Da Shixiong’s injuries.
Lin Qingyue supported Ye Jingxian and walked forward, constantly telling himself it would be fine, but the aura of the person on him was very weak. He was already injured before facing those rat demons, and this battle had nearly exhausted his spiritual power.
Lin Qingyue didn’t know how far ahead it was. He didn’t see any defensive point, but he just walked forward according to what he had said earlier.
“Da Shixiong, you absolutely must not sleep. Sleep when we arrive.”
“Didn’t you say there was a defensive point ahead? We’re almost there. When we arrive, I’ll find Su Shishu to treat you.”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyue paused. Did his identity still exist?
At this point in time, it should be the late stage of the original novel, or perhaps, this wasn’t the original plot at all. No one knew what it was like after the ending.
Lin Qingyue’s mind was now completely void of memories regarding the original novel. He felt a wave of panic. Was the power of the Heavenly Dao within this world’s rules so strong?
Turning his head to look at Ye Jingxian, he merely paused for a moment and put a mask on himself. Continuing forward—soldiers block the enemy, earth blocks the water; he would deal with whatever came.
He walked with Ye Jingxian for another two quarters of an hour before someone appeared in front of them. Seeing the newcomer, Lin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could shout “Shishu,” Su Ling had already rushed in front of them.
She charged over, and while taking Ye Jingxian, she glanced at the jade token at his waist. Without hesitation, she ripped the mask off Lin Qingyue’s face. Her movements were too fast; Lin Qingyue couldn’t stop her in time.
The moment Su Ling saw his appearance clearly, she laughed, but the smile was bitter.
“Sure enough. Karmic cycle, all is fate. Hahahahahaha.”
After feeding Ye Jingxian a pill, Su Ling’s emotions recovered. “Put the mask back on.”
Lin Qingyue put the mask back on properly, held Bai Dou, and looked at the two strangers who were so familiar, following them.
“Shishu, Da Shixiong won’t be in trouble, right?”
Su Ling was silent for a moment. “Rest assured, I will definitely save him.”
Lin Qingyue looked at his waist. That jade token was just a token that all personal disciples of Guicang Peak had. Was there something different about it?
“Every jade token of Guicang Peak has a trace of Senior Brother Ye’s sword intent. When you encounter a life-or-death crisis or when your cultivation breaks through the Soul Formation realm, you will discover it. Yours is the token of the Closed Door Disciple; one can tell at a glance.”
Su Ling’s words circled in Lin Qingyue’s ears. The amount of information was too large. He had always treated this as a symbol of a personal disciple and never paid attention to it.
Su Ling’s expression gave him a bad premonition.
“Su Shishu.”
Lin Qingyue stopped her. “Shizun… Peak Master Ye, he…”
Su Ling didn’t answer. She simply took Ye Jingxian and him back to the defensive array point.
Following Su Ling’s hand seals, the defensive array opened. Inside was a somewhat dilapidated small city.
The people guarding the city looked at Su Ling carrying the unconscious Ye Jingxian with shock, worry, and frustration. Lin Qingyue, following behind them in a mask, also attracted some gazes. They only scrutinized him; no one spoke.
Ye Jingxian’s injuries were too severe. Su Ling treated him. Lin Qingyue was curious about everything, but no one sought him out to talk.
Holding Bai Dou, Lin Qingyue saw that Senior Brother who used to talk to him often when he was at Kurong Peak. He actively approached him to strike up a conversation.
“Shixiong, do you need help?”
The other party’s attitude was cold. Lin Qingyue didn’t mind. He simply handed him the things he needed a second before he reached for them, anticipating his habitual movements.
That Senior Brother was slightly stunned. He glanced at Lin Qingyue, his expression just not as distant as before.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyue slowly spoke, “Shixiong, why haven’t I seen my master, Ye Zhanxiu?”
That Senior Brother tilted his head in confusion. Lin Qingyue revealed his jade token to him. “I met a handsome uncle before who said he was a very powerful sword cultivator and insisted I take him as my master. I didn’t believe it at first, nor did I want to take him as a master, but who knew he insisted on taking me as a disciple, saying he was the Peak Master of some big sect.”
Lin Qingyue sighed slightly and put the jade token away. “I didn’t want to leave because my older brother was in poor health and I had no spiritual roots. In the end, he gave me this jade token saying I was his disciple and to come find him later. But…”
“I came looking for him, but I haven’t seen him at all. The injured one is my Da Shixiong, but where is my master?”
Lin Qingyue looked at him, full of doubt, shoving the sword and jade token in his hands toward his face just so the Senior Brother could see.
That Senior Brother lowered his eyes, his decocting movements never stopping. Only after he finished speaking did his movements stiffen slightly.
He looked at Lin Qingyue and realized he knew nothing.
“But it’s good that you didn’t enter the sect.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue said angrily, “Shixiong, what does that mean? I’m not some personal disciple at all, I was tricked!”
“I knew it. What ‘Peak Master of a big sect’? Aside from giving a jade token and a sword, there was nothing else. Left just like that, and still wanted me to come find him. Now there’s not even a shadow of him; turns out he was a scammer.”
“He’s not a scammer.”
The other party’s decocting movements stopped. He turned to look at him. Lin Qingyue knew he had succeeded.
“If not a scammer, then what is he?”
