"Come, bring me there!" At Lin Jin's words, Aozhi was overjoyed. He was already prepared to be rejected but to think that Mr. Lin would agree to help without hesitation.
The old man excitedly led the way. Once they were outside the yard, Aozhi invoked a spell, stirring up a breeze. With a smile, Lin Jin summoned a cloud and flew up. Aozhi then realized that Lin Jin was proficient in the art of riding clouds and it was almost on par with his own wind manipulation spell. His admiration for Lin Jin grew.
The two of them flew out of the yard one after another. With Aozhi leading the way, they finally landed at the back mountain of Xuan Dao Sect.
After they landed, there was no one around. The Oriole monster that Aozhi mentioned was nowhere to be seen.
Aozhi was shocked. Flustered, he landed and looked around.
Lin Jin noticed that there was indeed a pool of blood on the ground in front of him. There was a faint demonic aura coming from it. Approaching it, Lin Jin probed it with a needle and immediately entered the Oriole monster's information into the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
"Rank 6 monster, Oriole."
"Proficient in shapeshifting and sound wave spells. Currently severely injured. There are five ways to treat her, namely …"
Lin Jin took a closer look. While the monster's injury was strange, it wasn't much of a problem for him. Although it wouldn't be an easy task, it wouldn't take much effort.
Just this pool of blood told Lin Jin that Aozhi was telling the truth. But where was this Oriole monster now?
Aozhi was clearly panicking. Despite his immortal body, sweat was dripping down his forehead.
"What … what's going on? I told her to wait again. Why is she gone?" Aozhi couldn't wait any longer. Hardening his heart, he took out a talisman.
The talisman was simple and unadorned. It must have been written a long time ago and the person who wrote it must have a high cultivation level.
"This item was given to me by an expert a thousand years ago. Today, it's time to use it," Aozhi said. With a wave of his hand, he cast a spell.
The talisman flew out and hovered in the air. The next moment, the talisman vibrated. The empty air around them began to ripple like water.
The ripples grew larger and larger like a mirror on the surface of the water.
"Sun and moon reverse, borrow the power of heaven and earth. Divine Talisman of the past, appear!" Aozhi chanted through gritted teeth. Then, he joined his fingers together and pointed forward.
Boom!
A strange sound rang out as the talisman suspended in the air immediately ignited. The strange thing was that the surrounding ripples actually slowly calmed down. However, the scene that was revealed was completely different.
It was as if he was looking at the past through a huge mirror.
Or rather, it was something that had happened before.
In the image, a yellow-clothed woman fell to the ground and vomited blood. Next to her, Aokiji looked anxious. After the two of them said a few words, the woman fainted. Aokiji was extremely anxious. Later, he seemed to have thought of something and settled the woman down. He set up a simple concealment technique and left.
This should be what Aokiji said before. Sure enough, he didn't hide anything.
However, not long after Aokiji left, a strange figure appeared in the same place. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air, giving people the feeling that the other party had been there for a long time, but neither Aokiji nor Huang Yingnv had noticed it before.
The figure's appearance could not be seen clearly, but it was wearing a black robe. Then, it waved its hand and a black wind swept Huang Yingnv away. Then, it leaped backward and disappeared without a trace.
Old Man Aokiji's eyes widened so much that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He was obviously ready to kill.
After all, no one would be able to keep their composure if their beloved companion was abducted and they didn't even know if she was dead or alive. It was the same for immortals.
Immortals were humans too.
"That person's cultivation level is extraordinary. He was here all along. Aokiji, you should report this to the sect and let Spiritual Master Miao Yan decide," Lin Jin suggested.
This was the most suitable choice. Although this was the back mountain of Xuan Dao Sect, a place between the outside world and the sect, they should report this matter first.
Anyway, Lin Jin believed that since the other party had left, there was no way to find him. So what if they could find him? Based on the projection of the talisman, that black-robed man was definitely stronger than Aokiji. It was the same for Lin Jin.
Hence, reporting it to the sect was the best choice.
However, Aokiji was hesitant and anxious.
He knew that even if he reported this to the sect now, nothing would come of it. His secret rendezvous with Huang Yingnv was already a violation of the sect's rules. If he reported this to the sect, he wouldn't end up well.
However, Aokiji knew that there was nothing he could do now. Just as Mr. Lin had said, that black-robed man's strength was unfathomable and his whereabouts were mysterious. It wouldn't be easy to find any clues and Aokiji couldn't possibly rescue Huang Yingnv on his own.
Hence, reporting this to the sect was the best choice.
Even if he had to be punished by the sect, Aokiji would accept it.
Lin Jin could tell that Aokiji was troubled so he said, "Don't worry. If I meet Spiritual Master Miao Yan or Chen Xuankong, I'll speak up for you."
Aokiji quickly thanked him.
However, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"You're a beast appraiser? Interesting! "
At the same time, a gust of black wind suddenly appeared beneath Lin Jin's feet. Unable to react in time, Lin Jin was swept up by the gust of black wind. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying out of Xuan Dao Sect and into the miasma outside.
It was so fast that forget Lin Jin, even Aokiji couldn't react in time. By the time he did, Lin Jin had already been 'abducted'.
"Ah, sh * t!" Aokiji was truly frightened out of his wits this time.
If it was just Huang Yingnv being abducted, it would be a big deal to him. But to the sect, it was nothing. But now, Mr. Lin had been abducted.
This was a huge deal. As a disciple of Xuan Dao Sect, how could Aokiji not know that Mr. Lin was invited here to treat Mr. Qi?
Who was Mr. Qi?
Aokiji couldn't possibly not know. Even if he wanted to give chase, there was no way he could. In an instant, he felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. He was so frightened that he couldn't even stand straight.
However, Aokiji was an immortal after all. He reacted almost immediately and cast a spell without hesitation.
A ray of light flew out and exploded in the sky.
This was a special talisman used by Xuan Dao Sect disciples. It was only used when the sect was in danger. Other than that, it shouldn't be used carelessly. Because upon seeing this message, no matter who it was, no matter what they were doing, even if they were in the most critical moment of their seclusion, or about to go berserk, they had to come out.
One could imagine how severe the sect's punishment would be if they used this incorrectly.
However, Aokiji knew that he had to use it now. At this stage, Mr. Lin's abduction was the most important matter. He couldn't delay any longer and had to inform the sect immediately.
Sure enough, the loud noise alarmed Xuan Dao Sect.
