191: Chapter 191 Temporary Cooperation
Ren Wudi had a little Face with Lin Qing, but it was clearly not much—at least not enough to save his fellow Senior Brother.
Just as everyone was nervously staring at Lin Qing, he suddenly turned around and walked back to kneel in front of that Peak Rank 9 Cultivator.
"Sorry, I almost forgot."
Following that, he extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand, plunged them into the Cultivator's eyes, and with a dig, both eyeballs fell into Lin Qing's hand.
With this, Lin Qing had finally completed what that Cultivator had just wanted to do to him.
Eyeballs gouged out, cultivation crippled, Soul Searching Technique performed, and turned into an idiot.
Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Qing straightened up again and turned to Face the crowd.
At this moment, his right hand was covered in bright red, the two eyeballs continuously rolling around in his palm, yet a warm smile appeared on his Face as he asked the crowd:
"What about you all? How do you want to deal with me?"
Lin Qing's mental attack had stopped, but the crowd now felt as if they were facing even more terrifying pressure than before.
The five major super powers of the Central Continent had each sent a Peak Rank 9 Cultivator to oversee things, and the person currently kneeling behind Lin Qing was one of them.
Such an expert had been crippled by Lin Qing in just a few breaths; the remaining four Peak Rank 9 Cultivators had to recognize the reality before them: they were absolutely no match for Lin Qing.
Consequently, the Peak Rank 9 Cultivator from the Qianyuan Heavenly Palace sternly reprimanded:
"Lin Qing, do you intend to make an enemy of the entire Central Continent? If you dare to act recklessly, there will be nowhere in the entire Central Continent for you to stand!"
This person's words were not an exaggeration; there were nearly thirty Rank 9 Cultivators here and nearly one hundred Rank 8 Cultivators, all of whom came from the super powers of the Central Continent.
Just as this Cultivator said, if anyone dared to kill all the Cultivators here, they would inevitably be hunted by the entire Central Continent.
Lin Qing stopped his advance and asked with keen interest:
"Oh? Then what do you suggest?"
Lin Qing naturally did not think there was any possibility of peaceful coexistence between him and the super powers. The only reason he was willing to communicate with the other party now was because he had obtained some useful information when he had just used the Soul Searching Technique.
As Lin Qing expected, this place was indeed the Forbidden Ground mentioned in the diary earlier, and even these people from the super powers had come for that treasure within the Forbidden Ground.
Since this place was called a Forbidden Ground, it was naturally extremely perilous, and these perils could not be avoided even by Lin Qing, who possessed the dao child token.
It was not that the dao child token lacked sufficient authority; the dao child token was more like a key, allowing him to enter many locked-down places.
However, the traps in the Forbidden Ground were a different form of existence. They were not locked doors, but rather corridors filled with thorns behind the doors.
Lin Qing could open the doors with the token, but he had to pass through the corridors on his own.
As for how the Cultivators of the Kunxu Immortal Sect passed through in the past, it was naturally by memory. They could easily bypass the traps relying on the passage routes in their memories, but these routes were not engraved on the dao child token.
Seeing that Lin Qing was willing to stop and communicate, the crowd unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The Cultivator from the Qianyuan Heavenly Palace continued:
"Since you have already performed the Soul Searching Technique on him, you naturally know why we came here. Why don't we join forces and find the item first?"
He naturally did not think that after finding the item, he would have the ability to take the treasure from Lin Qing's hands, but he had other plans.
The danger of that treasure was clearly recorded in the Sect's classics, but the super powers had no definite method for how to collect it.
In a sense, they were risking their lives by coming in. If the treasure were taken by Lin Qing, it would actually suit their wishes perfectly.
If Lin Qing were killed by the treasure, it would be considered solving their problem, and they could then use the various collection methods inferred by the Sect to attempt it.
If Lin Qing succeeded in collecting it, they would not be anxious. Once they left the Secret Realm, the great experts of the Sect would naturally take action personally to retrieve the treasure.
Lin Qing instantly understood his thoughts, and he also knew that Lin Qing knew his thoughts, yet his expression remained calm. He believed that after Lin Qing had used the Soul Searching Technique and learned about the treasure, it was impossible for him not to be tempted by it.
Thus, under these strange circumstances, both sides reached a temporary cooperation: to first walk to the depths of the Secret Realm.
Lin Qing stood before the entrance of the Forbidden Ground, replacing the position of that Disciple from the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and joined forces with the other God Realm Cultivators to break the Formation.
The entrance Formation was also of a very high Rank, and relying on their own strength, they certainly could not break it. However, they had a Formation map, which was naturally left behind by the former Disciples of the Kunxu Immortal Sect.
In fact, they also had clues for the path ahead, which Lin Qing had also obtained from the mind of that Disciple from the Lingxiao Sword Sect. But after all, fifty thousand years had passed; no one could guarantee whether any changes had occurred inside.
The true purpose of these people to Lin Qing lay right here: that was to help Lin Qing test for errors. Otherwise, if they really had to brute-force it, the combined abilities of these people could not compare to Lin Qing, and he would have no need to keep them.
As for the Formation at the entrance, Lin Qing could actually pass through directly by relying on the dao child token, but there was no need for that; he still had to wait for others after entering.
After an incense stick of time, the Formation was successfully broken. The stone wall in front opened to both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage.
"Brother Lin, please!"
Someone made a gesture of invitation, a fawning smile on his Face.
Lin Qing slapped him on the back of his head.
"Please my ass, you go in first!"
This person really took Lin Qing for a naive fool. Was this kind of place a good place? And he was saying "please"!
Lin Qing named him to go in first, and the others were naturally happy to have someone else lead the way, so he stepped into the passage with a livid expression.
At this moment, he wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he try to be clever for no reason?
Seeing that there was nothing unusual after this person stepped into the passage, the rest of the people also began to enter, while Lin Qing stood in the middle of the group.
The moment they entered the passage, everyone's Divine Thought was blocked. In the pitch-black environment, combined with the blocked Divine Thought, everyone instantly felt as if they had turned into ordinary people.
The person at the lead released Spiritual Qi, wanting to use the spiritual light for illumination, but to his surprise, the spiritual light was extremely faint.
The people behind began to mock him.
"Junior Brother, why does your Spiritual Qi look so limp?"
He was already very unhappy about being pushed to the front by everyone, and now that he was being mocked, he didn't care that the person who spoke had a higher cultivation than him. He immediately dissipated the Spiritual Qi in his hand and said irritably:
"If you're so capable, you do it!"
Being confronted directly by someone with lower cultivation than himself, the person who mocked him immediately felt embarrassed, but he really couldn't attack at this moment. He could only circulate his spiritual power and said through gritted teeth:
"I'll do it, fine!"
However, when he confidently released his spiritual light, his expression changed abruptly.
"Oh no, spiritual power is also being suppressed!"
