Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 372 - 73: Killing Qi Yao

Chapter 372: Chapter 73: Killing Qi Yao

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Yes, it was us.”

Zhang Jian’s eyes bulged as if he had been choked, and after a long while, he finally blurted out,

“Good…”

After a moment.

Zhang Jian recovered and addressed Lin Jing,

“Then I’ll come to Li Yan Island a few days later, after I’m done with my affairs, to find you.”

Subsequently, the two boarded the Flying Boat and left the uninhabited island.

No sooner had they returned to Li Yan Island than Yue Qiniang came up to greet them.

“Island Master Lin, you’ve finally returned.”

As she spoke, Yue Qiniang took out two Storage Bags and handed them over:

“These are the Storage Bags of the two Golden Core Cultivators you killed. Please keep them safe, Island Master Lin.”

“Hmm…” Lin Jing nodded, taking the Storage Bags.

He then asked Yue Qiniang,

“How are things now with Qi Yao and that internal traitor?” ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Yue Qiniang replied,

“To the Island Master, Qi Yao is now under supervision in the council hall in Li Yan City, and the traitor has also been captured.”

Lin Jing nodded his head and then inquired, “Who is the traitor?”

“To the Island Master, the traitor is Wang Pan.”

“Wang Pan, it turned out to be him…” Lin Jing frowned and said.

“Yes…” Yue Qiniang lowered her head.

Lin Jing was also aware of Wang Pan.

He hadn’t previously followed Dai Mao, but was an indigenous Cultivator of Li Yan Island.

After driving Dai Mao away, he had kept a low profile.

In particular, during the construction of Li Yan City, he had been very dedicated, even providing several professional suggestions, earning Yan Wanfei’s high regard.

He was even granted a certain amount of authority.

However, it was never expected that he would be a traitor.

“Let’s go, we’ll go see them…”

As Lin Jing’s words fell, Yue Qiniang spoke up, unable to help but express her concern,

“Island Master Lin, that Yuxing Island Master…”

“Don’t worry, the Yuxing Island Master has already fallen…”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, he headed towards Li Yan City.

Yue Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and closely followed Lin Jing towards Li Yan City.

…

The council hall in Li Yan City was within the Island Lord Mansion.

However, this Island Lord Mansion was merely used for routine meetings, as the several island masters, like Lin Jing, usually did not reside here.

Since they had taken over the entire island, it was natural to start governing it.

And as they all lacked the spare time to govern, they entrusted the management to local Cultivators like Yue Qiniang.

They allowed them to self-manage, while the island masters, as the highest martial force on the island,

would only take action if there was an invasion by external enemies.

Upon arriving at the council hall, two Cultivators responsible for supervising Qi Yao and Wang Pan stood up, and respectfully addressed Lin Jing,

“Island Master Lin…”

Previously, they had been indifferent towards Lin Jing, knowing only that this Island Master Lin was an Alchemist who stayed out of public affairs.

But today’s events had left them utterly shocked.

Instantly killing two early-stage Golden Core Cultivators and then chasing down the mid-stage Golden Core Yuxing Island Master alone,

Lin Jing, with only the Cultivation of the first layer of Golden Core, turned out to be incredibly powerful, which was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Now that Island Master Lin had returned,

it was likely that the Yuxing Island Master’s fate was grim.

Therefore, the two of them were genuinely respectful towards Lin Jing.

Lin Jing nodded and then turned his gaze toward Wang Pan, who was bound, and Qi Yao, who had his Cultivation destroyed by Lin Jing and was slumped on the ground, lifeless.

Qi Yao showed no reaction when Lin Jing entered the room.

Meanwhile, Wang Pan seemed quite agitated.

“Island Master, Island Master Lin…”

“I know I was wrong; please, Island Master Lin, spare me. I did it because Qi Yao coerced me, it was not my true intention.”

“I beg for your mercy, Island Master Lin…”

Lin Jing merely glanced at Wang Pan and then a Five-Colored Aurora shot out from his fingertip, entering Wang Pan’s body.

Wang Pan was instantly immobilized, unable to make any sound.

Whatever the cause, Wang Pan had done what he had done…

Lin Jing had no concern for his reasons.

At present, Lin Jing had an interrogation with Qi Yao to conduct, so Wang Pan would have to be silenced first.

Otherwise, his incessant noise would be quite bothersome.

After sealing Wang Pan, Lin Jing approached Qi Yao.

Only then did Qi Yao lift his head and look at Lin Jing before drooping his head again.

Now, he no longer had the previous sinister air to him. Instead, he bore the look of one utterly disinterested in life.

Clearly, the fact that Lin Jing destroyed his Cultivation had dealt him a significant blow.

Lin Jing then asked Yue Qiniang,

“Before I returned, had you interrogated him?”

Yue Qiniang replied,

“To Island Master Lin…”

“We did try to interrogate him, but he is so disheartened he refuses to say anything.”

“Furthermore…”

“since you’ve destroyed his Cultivation, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to withstand more, we didn’t use other methods and were just waiting for you, the Island Master, to personally interrogate him.”

Lin Jing nodded.

He then looked at Qi Yao and said,

“Are you going to speak on your own, or do I need to perform a Soul Search…”

Lin Jing had no kindness to spare for Qi Yao.

At the mention of “Soul Search,” Qi Yao’s body visibly shuddered.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jing.

His face was no longer that of someone who had given up on life but was instead filled with madness.

“Heh heh…”

“Soul Search, you’ve been wanting to do this all along, haven’t you? Pretending to be all righteous—do you think you’ll let me go?”

“It’s just a matter of victors and losers…”

“Since you want to Soul Search, then go ahead. Let your subordinates see your cruel nature. Others might fear you, but I am not afraid.”

Having said that, Qi Yao lifted his head high, assuming the pose of a man prepared to face his fate with fortitude.
