Chapter 895: As Fragile as Dust

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin MO widened his eyes at the sudden pain.

Regret, anger, and fear flashed through his eyes.

But more than anything, there was a refusal to accept defeat.

How could he die like this?

His path had been smoother than others, and his talent far surpa.s.sed them. Resources were within his easy reach. He still had a chance to shine bright and gain the admiration of others.

Even in the face of death, he should be calmer than others. If he were to die, he would drag his enemy down with him.

He was a genius with numerous resources, and his seniors were all watching him.

Many thoughts ran through Lin MO’s mind.

He spat out blood. His eyes were bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the spear lodged in his chest, and pulled it out.

Blood sprayed out.

His aura began to rise continuously as if it had been acc.u.mulating for a long time and was finally breaking through.

He advanced to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Die! t,

Lin MO, with a ferocious face, infused all his power into one thrust and hurled the spear at his opponent.

The intent was to kill. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi were shocked.

They couldn’t react in time.

Lin Zhi almost fled. He pulled Zhao Qingxue and Lin MO and tried to run with them.

Facing Lin Mo’s attack, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior was surprised. He crushed the spear easily. In an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Mo.

Then, he pushed him down.

He pressed Lin Mo’s head to the ground. “Thought you had some power?”

He slammed Lin Mo’s head down. His head was almost entirely buried in the soil.

He treated him as though he was as fragile as dust.

It crushed Lin MO’s pride.

Lin Zhi wanted to help, but he felt like he was of no use.

This was the world of cultivation. Just because you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm didn’t mean every opponent you faced was weaker than you. Temporary breakthroughs couldn’t give a person enough power and strength to fight back.

Zhao Qingxue felt how insignificant she was for the first time.

She didn’t even have a chance to make a move.

At that moment, the Foundation Establishment Realm senior looked at the three people and smiled. “You should thank the sect’s rules. Otherwise, you would be dead.”

A woman walked to them. “The things we need are ready. We can leave now.”

Then, she looked at the three on the ground. “Aren’t you killing them?”

“No need,” said the Foundation Establishment Realm senior and shook his head. “Killing within the sect is troublesome. Besides, there is no need to let a group of inexperienced kids ruin our plans.”

He squatted down, patted Lin Mo’s face, and chuckled. “Junior Brother, how long do you think you can survive once you leave the sect?”

With that, he turned and left.

Lin MO and the others had no idea about their plans. They just happened to b.u.mp into them here.

Shortly after, Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu appeared in front of the three kids.

Even now, they were still suppressed by the aura.

They couldn’t even get up.

No one was around, so n.o.body had informed the sect.

“What happened here?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. Such incidents were common in the world of cultivation, and the same applied within the sect. The only thing they could do was try to avoid them as much as possible.

When Lin MO and the others mentioned that there were more alchemists here, he thought that something might happen.

He just didn’t expect things to go south so quickly.

“They probably encountered some spies,” Jiang Hao said.

Lin Zhi and the others were not children. So, Jiang Hao wouldn’t keep an eye on them every day.

He didn’t expect problems to occur so soon.

Lin Mo’s behavior wouldn’t have caused any problems within the sect, but unfortunately, they had run into these people outside.

Well, hopefully, Lin Zhi had learned a lesson from this.

“Do we need to inform the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall?” Zheng Shijiu asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

The disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall took Lin MO away.

Since the other two were not injured, they stayed back and completed the sect’s tasks.

Later, Liu Xingchen also arrived. He was responsible for investigating the situation.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you seem to run into trouble wherever you go,” he said.

“You jest, Senior Brother. This time, it wasn’t me,” said Jiang Hao.

“Tell me what happened,” Liu Xingchen said with interest.

Jiang Hao remained calm. “It seems the three juniors noticed something unusual and confronted somebody about it. The opponent turned out to be too powerful. It was my negligence, Senior Brother Liu.”

“Junior Brother Jiang, you must be joking. It’s not your fault. It’s good that you found the problem early. That’s good.”

Jiang Hao nodded and looked at Lin Zhi and Zhao Qingxue. They hadn’t fully recovered yet. They still didn’t understand what the cultivation path and the sect were about.

Although Lin Zhi was constantly beaten in the sect, even he was unaware of how terrifying the sect could be.

As for Zhao Qingxue, she had never seen the real side of the sect at the White Moon Lake. Their status was too high.

“I believe you told me to find something before…” “Did you find anything?” Jiang Hao asked.

It was not easy to find that person.

“Haven’t found the person yet. It seems like the sect is intentionally waiting for something. But you definitely found an important clue,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

“Is it someone important?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The Lawless Tower has intervened. We still don’t know for sure.” Liu Xingchen shook his head.

After talking for a while, Liu Xingchen left. He seemed very eager.

Jiang Hao looked at Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi.

“Let’s go back and rest. We’ll continue patrolling tomorrow. This time, the merit will be significant, and it will help with your task,” Jiang Hao said. Regardless, they had indeed achieved something. They were the first to know about the situation here.

Jiang Hao didn’t know the details, but it seemed unrelated to the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect. Perhaps, after some time, Liu Xingchen would inform him of the developments.

As for Lin MO, he wouldn’t die.

How he wanted to proceed from now on would depend on himself.

At the Enforcement Hall, Lin MO slowly sat up in the courtyard. His eyes no longer had the confident gleam from before.

It seemed like he had suffered an unimaginable blow.

He had been humiliated and beaten.

He covered his face, and tears streamed down his face.

“Feeling bad?” said a young man beside him.

“Senior Brother, I want to be alone right now,” Lin MO said. “Do you feel like a failure? Do you feel embarra.s.sed?” the man asked.

Lin MO didn’t say anything.

The man smiled. “It’s normal. Everyone is arrogant and reckless when they are young. It’s not bad, but you need to understand the consequences that come with your actions. Don’t think that you are different just because you are from the Law Enforcement Hall. If you think like that, you won’t be worthy of the Law Enforcement Hall. Master has high expectations for you. That’s why he asked you to follow Junior Brother Jiang. That person isn’t ordinary. You will learn a lot if you follow him.. What did you think when you first saw him? Did you feel that he was a mere inner sect disciple who relied on Blood Wish Path to advance? Did you think that was all he was worth? You didn’t want to debase yourself by a.s.sociating with him..
