Lin Yi laughed bitterly to himself. After wearing this thing, he could hide his identity and do many things that were originally inconvenient, but at the same time, it was equivalent to losing a layer of protection.
Don't forget, the Three Great Pavilions always valued newcomers. Anything that involved newcomers was not a small matter, especially if a newcomer was killed, it would definitely alarm the Enforcement Hall.
As a result, even a young master with a deep background like Xu Lingchong didn't dare to use simple and crude methods to deal with Lin Yi. He could only use some underhanded schemes. As for other people, they didn't have the guts to do so. Even if they became enemies with Lin Yi, they definitely wouldn't dare to directly kill him.
But right now, it was different. Because he was wearing the Thousand Silk Mask, Lin Yi was no longer Lin Yi, but Lin Er.
Lin Yi was a newcomer to Blue Cloud Pavilion, but this Lin Er was only a grassroots wandering cultivator of unknown origin. Killing Lin Yi, a Blue Cloud Pavilion newcomer, would cause enormous trouble. But if it was just killing Lin Er, a grassroots wandering cultivator, then nothing would happen.
As long as it wasn't in broad daylight, the Enforcement Hall wouldn't care if you committed murder or arson. What did the life and death of a mere grassroots wandering cultivator have to do with them?
"If you're a little smarter, then hurry up and hand over the inkstone. That way, I might be able to quell my anger a bit, and I'll leave your corpse intact." Yu Zhe stared at Lin Yi with a mocking expression, not immediately attacking.
He wasn't the slightest bit afraid that Lin Yi would escape. Because in the current situation, Lin Yi was like a mouse that had been forced into a corner by a cat. There was no way for him to escape.
A mere peak early stage Foundation Establishment wandering cultivator, facing a middle stage Foundation Establishment inner sect disciple like him, still wanted to escape? How could he escape!
"Can I ask, what is the use of this star inkstone?" Lin Yi was unhurried, raising his eyebrows as he asked.
Of course, he didn't really want to know the use of the star inkstone. This kind of thing didn't need the other party to explain. When he returned, the ghost would naturally explain to him. The reason why he intentionally asked this was because he wanted to know how much the other party knew.
From there, he could make a judgment. Just how important was it to kill him?!
That's right, Lin Yi wasn't thinking about escaping, but counterattacking! Although his opponent was a middle stage Foundation Establishment expert, and even among middle stage Foundation Establishment experts, Lin Yi still had the confidence to kill him.
Although it was very difficult to challenge someone of a higher level, at the same time, it also had a unique advantage, and that was the natural appearance of a weakling. He could pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger!
No matter how cautious his opponent was, he would more or less underestimate his opponent because he thought that he had the absolute upper hand. This was inevitable human nature. The cunning and cruel opponent in front of him was the same. Otherwise, this guy would have killed him long ago. He wouldn't even stop to talk nonsense.
Regardless of the level of an expert, underestimating the enemy was always a flaw. Especially when facing a so-called "weakling" like Lin Yi who had a powerful trump card, this flaw was especially fatal!
"You don't know the uses of starinkstones?" After hearing Lin Yi's question, Yu Zhe was clearly dazed. He didn't know that Lin Yi had so many twists and turns. He had thought that Lin Yi just wanted to clarify things before he died.
Yu Zhe had a ruminating expression as he sized up Lin Yi. He didn't know the uses of starinkstones, but he still dared to take out two supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pills. This meant that not only was this wandering cultivator not poor at all, but he was a rare nouveau riche?
"I only know that this thing isn't simple. As for its uses, I don't know," Lin Yi responded coolly.
"Heh. Then prepare to die with everlasting regret. You aren't so naïve as to think that laozi will be so merciful as to tell you, right? You're really delusional. Who do you think laozi is, an idiot? " Yu Zhe laughed coldly, and a hint of savagery flashed through his eyes. He seemed to be preparing to attack.
Lin Yi's heart instantly sank. This guy was not easy to deal with.
But then. He heard Yu Zhe continue, "But if you hand over something valuable, like a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill, then laozi can let you die knowing."
Ha, so he wanted to use this opportunity to extort a sum of money!
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth curved imperceptibly. He reached into his bosom. When he took it out again, there was a small box in his hand, just like the one he had in the Hong Merchant Guild. He opened the lid. Inside was a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill.
Last time, he had refined a total of six pills. He had given two to Senior Apprentice Brother Bitter, eaten one for Lin Yi, and used two to exchange for starinkstones. The one in his hand was the last one.
Seeing the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill, Yu Zhe's face was filled with greed. Putting aside the fact that the starinkstone was a priceless treasure that could change the course of one's fate, the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill was a fatal temptation to any Foundation Establishment cultivator, even those at the peak of the late stage.
This Yu Zhe in front of him was no exception.
At the end of the day, even if he could obtain the starinkstone, he wouldn't be able to use it immediately. Right now, the practicality of a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill was far above it. Moreover, this was also a priceless treasure that could only be found by luck!
"Anything else? If you can take out even more good stuff that satisfies laozi, then maybe I can consider letting you go. "Yu Zhe purposely tempted.
Letting me go? Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This guy really did think he was an idiot. If he really took out even more valuable treasures, this guy would probably immediately start killing and plundering. There was no way he would let Lin Yi go.
"That's it. Now you can speak, right?" Lin Yi said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Yu Zhe couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. "That really is a pity. But to be able to obtain a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill, today's trip was not in vain. Of course, I believe that you're definitely hiding some good stuff on you. Since you don't want to take it out yourself, then I'll take it out for you! "
As he spoke, Yu Zhe's feet instantly exploded, and he pounced towards Lin Yi at a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye!
From start to finish, he had never thought of telling Lin Yi anything, and had even less thought of sparing Lin Yi's life. The reason why he spoke so much nonsense was only because he wanted to extort even more good stuff from Lin Yi.
However, since Lin Yi wasn't willing to take it out of his own accord, then he wouldn't force it. In any case, after he killed Lin Yi, these things would still fall into his hands.
It was just that during the course of battle, they might be damaged by the sword qi. But since the situation had already developed to this point, if it was damaged, then so be it. He would kill first and talk later.
