208: Chapter 208 Expulsion Plan
"Senior?"
Lin Qing called out tentatively toward the tortoise shell, and soon, the Old Turtle's voice came from within.
"Is that you, little friend Lin Qing? Is there something you need?"
A glimmer flashed in Lin Qing's eyes. He had successfully made contact. He quickly sat cross-legged on the couch and said solemnly:
"Senior, this Junior has encountered some trouble and would like to ask you to intervene once."
"Don't you have my Divine Thought Clone? Is the opponent very strong?"
"To be honest, Senior, this time the opponents are Level 11 experts, and there are quite a few of them. I'm afraid I'll need your true body to come over."
The Old Turtle did not reply immediately. Ever since it was besieged by human Cultivators five hundred thousand years ago, it had been somewhat resistant to interacting with humans.
Lin Qing felt a bit anxious. Although he had other backup plans, such as sealing the Secret Realm first and then studying Xiao Dun properly, this method had too much uncertainty.
Having the Old Turtle's true body intervene was currently the best plan.
As for whether the Old Turtle's strength was sufficient, Lin Qing had no doubts at all. After all, the Old Turtle had lived for over a million years, and the diameter of its own tortoise shell had reached over ten thousand li; it was definitely one of the most terrifying existences on this continent.
"Senior, you do not need to fight them to the death; you only need to escort my people away. Once it is done, this Junior will offer you a piece of world origin."
Lin Qing had originally intended to use that smaller piece of world origin to refine his Lifebound Treasure, but now he had no choice but to bring it out for the trade. Otherwise, he couldn't think of anything else on him that would catch the Old Turtle's interest.
Fortunately, for the current Lin Qing, world origin was no longer too difficult to obtain. If he found another small Secret Realm later, he was ninety percent sure he could seize its world origin.
"world origin? Forget it. I dare not touch that thing anymore. But coming to pick you up is not a problem. Tell me the location."
The Old Turtle had been injured last time because of world origin and now actually had some psychological trauma. However, perhaps because it felt Lin Qing's sincerity, it finally agreed to Lin Qing's request.
Lin Qing was naturally overjoyed. However, he had already promised to give away the world origin and wouldn't just let it go because of the other party's refusal. Thus, he continued to explain to the Old Turtle.
"Senior, do not worry too much. This piece of world origin comes from a small Secret Realm and has not yet generated the power of will. It cannot be compared at all to the one you encountered before. You can take it and study it."
"Is that so? Then... that works!"
The Old Turtle was still quite interested in world origin. Upon hearing Lin Qing say this, it agreed. Afterward, Lin Qing told it the location of the Secret Realm and added a reminder:
"Senior, the Secret Realm will take another ten days to open. You just need to arrive in ten days."
Afterward, Lin Qing did not continue toward the mountain gate. Now that he knew the specific time the Secret Realm would open from Chuyun, there was no need to prepare in advance.
Moreover, since he had unexpectedly subdued the world origin of the Kunxu Secret Realm, he would certainly take the Secret Realm with him when he left, so the plan to seal the Secret Realm needed to be changed as well.
Lin Qing put away the Flying Boat, then spread out his Divine Thought. After a flash of light on his body, he vanished from the spot.
In a hidden mine, several Cultivators were gathered together, whispering to each other.
"Senior Brother, are we really not going to explore? This is a Secret Realm that hasn't been opened for fifty thousand years!"
"Explore, my ass! What is your cultivation level? Will the truly good things ever be your turn? What we need to do now is hide. When the Secret Realm exit opens, pass the news out. By then, the Sect's reward won't be any less than if you went out there fighting to the death yourself."
These few people were also Disciples of super factions. The super factions had many members, and not all of them had gone to the Forbidden Ground; many more were exploring on their own.
Previously, at the Forbidden Ground, apart from Ren Wudi and Senior Sister Tao Tao, a few others from the super factions were lucky enough to survive.
Although they had not seen with their own eyes Lin Qing killing those four 9th Rank Peaks, at the entrance of the Forbidden Ground, they had seen with their own eyes how Lin Qing crushed the team leader of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and they already had a clear understanding of Lin Qing's strength.
Now that more than twenty days had passed and those four 9th Rank Peaks had yet to walk out of the Secret Realm, they had roughly guessed what had happened. Consequently, news of Lin Qing spread further among the Disciples of the super factions.
Now, except for a few who refused to believe it, almost all of them had gone into hiding, waiting only for the Secret Realm to open to send the news of Lin Qing back to their Sects.
Just as the few people in the mine were whispering, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the area, and then a figure appeared before them.
"Lin... Lin Qing, don't kill me! I promise I won't talk nonsense!"
After seeing clearly that the person was Lin Qing, the few did not hesitate at all and immediately began to beg for mercy.
Gossiping behind his back was one thing, but when actually encountering Lin Qing, who wouldn't want to beg him for a way to survive?
"Quiet."
Lin Qing's calm voice rang out in the area, and the few immediately stopped kowtowing, no longer making a sound.
"If you want to hide, at least do it properly. You should have at least hidden in an area where Divine Thought is blocked."
Lin Qing rolled his eyes. He felt that these people looked down on him a bit, actually thinking they could evade his detection by just finding a random mine.
Before coming, Lin Qing had already overheard the content of their conversation through his Divine Thought and knew their plans. However, he had no interest in killing these people. The reason he appeared before them was for another reason.
"You few, contact everyone you can reach."
Before Lin Qing could finish, someone immediately took out a pile of communication Jade Slips and said fawningly to Lin Qing:
"Lord Lin Qing, if you kill them, you can't kill me, okay?"
Lin Qing looked at that overly proactive Disciple with a strange expression, ignored him, and continued:
"Tell them that within ten days, they must arrive at the mountain gate, otherwise they will remain in the Secret Realm forever."
After saying this, Lin Qing ignored them and teleported directly in front of the others he had sensed, telling them the same thing.
Later, Lin Qing would bring this Secret Realm back to Dongxuan; he naturally had no interest in these people inside.
Now that the Old Turtle's true body would be coming, Lin Qing had no more worries, and the original plan to seal the Secret Realm had turned into an expulsion plan.
Over the next few days, Lin Qing traveled almost the entire Secret Realm, telling those Cultivators his intentions and also having them spread the word to each other so that those in areas where Divine Thought was blocked could also receive the message.
After finishing the preparations, Lin Qing finally returned to the mountain gate, stayed in the room of the Flying Boat, and while cultivating his 9th Rank Cultivation Technique, waited for the exit of the Secret Realm to open.
