Otherwise, Jiang Wanying would have died long ago.
However, Jiang Wanying didnât know that. Seeing that Lin Shen hadnât used any True Martial techniques and had only used some low-level martial techniques, he thought that Lin Shen was deliberately teasing him. He was filled with monstrous anger.
As an elite disciple of the Blood Sea Sect, he naturally had his pride. Previously, he was already extremely frustrated when he was defeated and had to flee for the sake of the sect. How could he tolerate being humiliated like this?
Jiang Wanyingâs eyes were filled with anger, as if he was going to fight to his death.
He roared and no longer held back. Thick blood light surged out of his body, and he instantly turned into a blood shadow that pounced forward.
Lin Shen immediately sensed Jiang Wanyingâs intentions. Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, âSince you want to die, Iâll fulfill your wish!â
He thrust his sword forward, unleashing the Nine Divine Sun Sword.
At the same time, the six clones used the same technique.
In an instant, dozens of brilliant suns rose from all directions, carrying a large amount of golden fiery energy that drowned Jiang Wanying.
By the time the energy dissipated, the surroundings had already become empty. Jiang Wanying was nowhere to be seen. His flesh, blood, and bones had all melted, leaving not a trace.
Lin Shen arrived at the spot where Jiang Wanying had disappeared. He picked up the banner and a storage ring.
After putting away his things, Lin Shen looked in the direction where Xie Jingsheng and the others had left. He activated the Riding Wind Technique and turned to fly in another direction.
He found a secluded cave and summoned a clone to guard the entrance of the cave. Then, he took out the banner and storage ring he had obtained from Jiang Wanying and examined them carefully.
The banner was completely black, and there were blood-colored waves embroidered on the front. Just looking at it made one smell blood.
Lin Shen activated his spiritual essence to refine the banner and quickly learned the name and origin of this Dharma treasure.
As expected, this Dharma treasure called the Blood Wave Banner was indeed a profound armament.
It was a unique Dharma treasure especially refined by the Blood Sea Sectâs Weapon Refinement Elder. Coupled with the Blood Sea Sectâs cultivation technique, it could unleash greater power.
This disappointed Lin Shen.
This Dharma treasure was clearly sinister. When it landed in the hands of cultivators other than Blood Sea Sect disciples, its power was greatly reduced, and the user couldnât unleash its full power.
To Lin Shen, it was far inferior to the Black Peak Inkstone and the tablet.
After throwing the Blood Wave Banner back into his storage ring, Lin Shen turned to check Jiang Wanyingâs storage ring.
He was pleasantly surprised.
There were actually two bottles of Cast Spirit Pills in this storage ring, a total of 18 pills!
âHow lucky!â
Lin Shen smiled happily.
One of the reasons why he entered the spirit cave this time was to collect the spirit dust needed to refine Spirit Pills.
However, if he could get his hands on Cast Spirit Pills, it would be even more convenient.
He now had a total of thirty Cast Spirit Pills, which were enough for him to forge at least five to six spirit meridians!
After the moment of joy, Lin Shen put away the pills and took out the map.
There were still twenty days before the spirit cave opened. He didnât plan to meet up with Xie Jingsheng and the others now. Instead, he planned to find another place to cultivate while hunting Earth Essences.
He would meet up with them shortly before the opening day.
However, Lin Shen had a faint feeling that from what Jiang Wanying had said previously, the Blood Sea Sect seemed to be plotting something.
Perhaps something else would happen.
After pondering for a while, Lin Shen shook his head and temporarily threw this matter to the back of his mind.
No matter what, the most important thing now was to increase his strength.
No matter what schemes the Blood Sea Sect had, as long as he had enough strength, he could crush them and break the plan by sheer force.
After choosing a location with many spiritual monsters on the map, Lin Shen immediately left the cave and rushed toward his destination.
At the same time.
Hundreds of kilometers away.
The Nine Suns Sect disciples, who were already exhausted, finally couldnât hold on any longer and stopped while panting.
Xie Jingsheng turned around to take a look, and his tense expression relaxed slightly.
âAlright, weâve run so far and eliminated the aura along the way. Jiang Wanying shouldnât be able to catch up any time soon!â
As soon as he said this, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
Ai Jingting looked worried and frowned. â1 wonder if Senior Brother Lin has gotten away?â
Xie Jingsheng was actually very worried, but he still pretended to be calm and comforted her. âDonât worry, Junior Brother Lin has always been resourceful. Since he said that heâs confident in escaping, heâll definitely be fine!â
Ai Jingting nodded and didnât say anything else. However, she still couldnât hide the worry in her eyes.
Xie Jingsheng looked around and saw that everyone was exhausted. He said, âLetâs find a place to rest for a few days. When we recover, weâll head to the exit of the spirit cave.â
Everyone was already worn out, but they were only standing because of their willpower. When they heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Xie Jingsheng took out the map and planned to find a cave with fewer spiritual monsters nearby to rest. Suddenly, his expression changed. He turned his head to look at a huge strange rock dozens of meters away and shouted in a low voice.
âWhoâs there? Come out!â
Everyone was shocked. After they realized what it meant, they looked at the strange stone as if they were facing a great enemy.
Under everyoneâs vigilant gazes, a person slowly walked out from behind the strange rock.
Everyone recognized that familiar face. It was Peng Junqin, who had abandoned them not long ago and fled!
âItâs you!â
Xie Jingsheng was shocked and glared at Peng Junqin.
âYou should be ashamed to have shown up here!â
Everyone from the academy also cast angry gazes at him.
Even the inner sect disciples of the Nine Suns Sect had strange expressions as they looked at him with disdain.
Retreating at the last minute and abandoning his fellow disciples was despicable behavior in any sect!
Previously, they had thought that Senior Brother Peng Junqin was a figure worthy of following. Now, it seemed that he was a selfish and timid fellow!
In comparison, the academy disciple named Lin Shen was extremely courageous and admirable!
