194: Chapter 194 Su Lianxue is attacked

"Is it within our territory?"

Zhang Mao reached out and placed his hand on the soul statue, saying coldly.

"Yes."

Lin Ming nodded and said.

"These trash dare to operate within our territory; they are tired of living."

A flash of killing intent swept across Zhang Mao.

"Elder, remember to count this as two mission quotas for me."

Lin Ming said.

Matters related to the Soul Refining Sect, even if not listed in the Mission Hall, could be counted as a mission as long as one could provide proof. Furthermore, the soul statue Lin Ming produced could count towards two mission quotas.

Otherwise, why would Lin Ming have played along with Tang Jingming for so long?

"Record it."

Zhang Mao said to the Disciple behind him.

"This Soul Refining Sect soul statue can unleash the power of the Bitter Sea Realm's Sixth Level."

Zhang Mao had also thoroughly examined this soul statue.

Given Lin Ming's strength, he certainly wasn't a match for this soul statue; he most likely relied on external forces, specifically external forces originating from Master Yun Hua.

However, external force is also a part of strength; the fact that Lin Ming could obtain this external force was a testament to his own ability.

"A Bitter Sea Realm Sixth Level soul statue is worth a total of 260 contribution points and 10,000 Medium Grade Yuan stones."

The Disciple said.

The reward was also quickly fulfilled.

Yuanxu Mountain was very generous with rewards regarding demonic cultivators, especially during this period when demonic cultivators were attempting to make a comeback.

Seeing this, Zhang Mao did not linger and left the Mission Hall with the statue.

After receiving the reward, Lin Ming also did not linger and left the Mission Hall.

This time, it was equivalent to completing five mission quotas, which counted towards offsetting a portion of the missions he owed.

Lin Ming planned to rest well for a while before continuing to accept missions.

On his way back to Zichen Peak, he saw that Hu Miaotong was still staying at Zichen Peak and had not left.

"Fellow Daoist Miaotong, have you not yet set off for Yanyun Mountain?"

Lin Ming asked.

He had assumed Hu Miaotong was already on her way to Yanyun Mountain, but it turned out she was still at Yuanxu Mountain.

"I would like to ask Senior Brother Lin to take me to Yanyun Mountain."

Hu Miaotong looked at Lin Ming and requested.

She could naturally go to Yanyun Mountain; she had once sought out Master Yun Hua, and Master Yun Hua did not restrict her movements, allowing her to go whenever she wished.

As for Hu Congmeng, she certainly hoped that Hu Miaotong would head to Yanyun Mountain as soon as possible, but she herself had no way of accompanying her to Yanyun Mountain, so she had to let her husband's Disciple accompany them.

A Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator.

However, Hu Miaotong was still a bit uneasy about this, so she set her sights on Lin Ming.

One must know that Lin Ming was a Disciple of the Nirvana Ancestor and must certainly possess life-saving measures left behind by the Nirvana Ancestor. If he accompanied her, her own safety would surely be guaranteed.

"I currently have no intention of going to Yanyun Mountain."

Lin Ming shook his head and said.

What a joke?

He had just finished a mission.

He had no intention of going out for the next period of time.

He had to stay in the Sect and enjoy life properly; it just so happened that he had acquired a lot of new ingredients from Cangyuan City and could research some new food.

Perhaps he could come up with quite a few new dark dishes.

"I am willing to pay a reward."

Hu Congmeng said.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, please look for someone else."

Lin Ming walked past Hu Congmeng and said.

He walked straight up the mountain and soon arrived in front of Master Yun Hua's Immortal Cave, only to see that it was filled with white mist, which meant his Revered Master did not want to see anyone.

Even so, Lin Ming went down the mountain and headed straight for his secret Immortal Cave.

After entering the Immortal Cave and walking into the Cultivate room, Lin Ming threw Deputy Hall Master Shi Yong out of his Storage Ring.

Normally, ordinary Storage Rings cannot store living things, but after Lin Ming advanced to a Saint-grade Artifact Refiner, he gained Saint-grade Artifact Refining knowledge and crafted a Saint-grade Storage Ring, one that could even store living things.

"Restriction."

Lin Ming directly invaded Deputy Hall Master Shi Yong's Divine Soul.

He was actually quite interested in this Restriction and wanted to see if he could break it.

...

"Bang..."

A person flew out heavily and fell to the ground; he raised his head to look at Su Lianxue, then collapsed directly, losing all signs of life.

Su Lianxue stepped forward, looking at the person expressionlessly. A sword appeared in her hand, which she stabbed down fiercely, piercing the person's heart and running it through.

To ensure this person was not faking death.

She then put the person's corpse into her storage space.

"Swish..."

A silver needle suddenly struck from behind Su Lianxue, aiming directly at the back of her head.

Su Lianxue noticed this in time and dodged the silver needle with a sidestep.

She immediately looked in the direction from which the silver needle had come.

A figure appeared from the forest at an extremely fast speed, circled behind Su Lianxue, and slashed with a short dagger in hand.

Su Lianxue moved her feet and dodged this attack once again.

The person disappeared from Su Lianxue's sight, relying on agile footwork.

Su Lianxue watched her surroundings with a vigilant face.

A few breaths later, the person appeared again, appearing behind Su Lianxue.

"Found you."

Su Lianxue locked onto the person the moment they appeared.

The person's ability to conceal their breath was indeed very good, but Su Lianxue's keen Divine Soul had already covered her surroundings; once this person appeared, they could not hide.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the person unleashed their short dagger like a torrential storm.

Sea-Opening Realm Fourth Level.

Within a few breaths, Su Lianxue knew the opponent's Realm.

She retreated a few steps, saw through the opponent's moves, and dodged them one by one.

Seeing that their attacks were dodged one by one, the person wanted to temporarily retreat.

But Su Lianxue would not give the opponent this opportunity.

How could she allow someone who attacked her to retreat unscathed? Su Lianxue would not allow such a thing to happen.

She struck with a palm.

Su Lianxue launched an offensive against them.

Under Su Lianxue's offensive, the person could not temporarily retreat; Su Lianxue's offensive made it difficult for them to pull away for a moment.

They had no choice but to face Su Lianxue's offensive and engage in combat.

But as the two exchanged blows, the person realized they were no match for Su Lianxue.

Their own offensive was neutralized by Su Lianxue one by one.

Yet they could not dodge Su Lianxue's attacks.

This cannot continue.

The person's speed suddenly increased.

The short dagger in their hand slashed toward Su Lianxue with lightning speed.

"Bang..."

The person's short dagger flew straight away.

As for the person, they retreated a step, and a hand appeared on their neck.

"Speak, who are you?"

Su Lianxue said, looking at this person.

They did have some strength; if it had been any other ordinary Sea-Opening Realm Early Stage or Middle Stage cultivator, they might have died directly under that silver needle.

The person said nothing, just stared at Su Lianxue, and then, tilted their head.

"Committed suicide?"

Just like that, they killed themselves?
