Regarding the mysterious assassination, Master Lin eventually decided to deal with it by sticking to the status quo and suppressed this matter.
As the saying goes, one is in the light while the enemy is in the dark. Unless they were completely dealt with, there would always be trouble. Regarding this, the only thing Master Lin could do was to order the entire Lin family to seal the mansion and not allow the disciples to go out. As for food and other things, they were all bought by those with strong cultivation.
In the Divine Valley, it had been a year since Lin Ray decided to cultivate in the Divine Valley. In the past year, Lin Ray could be said to have worked very hard. However, no matter how hard he worked, it was useless. After all, there was only a small amount of spiritual energy every day. After cultivating, he still had to wait for the spiritual energy to condense again.
Fortunately, Lin Ray knew how to concoct pills. There were also some elixirs in the Divine Valley that could be used to concoct low-grade pills. Lin Ray was very satisfied with this.
A year's worth of time, combined with his usual training and the consumption of pills, finally allowed Linley to break through to the mid-stage of 'Inedia'. He was only a step away from the late-stage.
It was a pity that just one step was enough to trap Lin Ray for more than ten days. Conservatively speaking, if he wanted to break through, he would need a huge amount of spiritual energy to support it.
If he were to cultivate like before, it would probably take one or two months. Moreover, he would also need to use pills. Otherwise, wanting to break through in one or two months was simply a fool's dream.
In the past year, not only did Lin Ray break through, Lin Ray also didn't forget to supervise and guide Liu Changtian during his free time. Of course, this was only during his free time. After all, Liu Changtian's cultivation was a little slow.
Fortunately, with the help of Lin Ray's pills, he improved a lot in a year.
Lin Ray had too many pills that could raise one's cultivation level. However, although these pills sounded good, they had a lot of effects on one's foundation.
Lin Ray wouldn't allow this to happen to his disciple. As his disciple, Lin Ray's first rule was that you could eat vegetables, but you couldn't carelessly use pills to increase your strength. Rather than that, it was better not to eat and just obediently eat half a bag.
Bang!
A rumbling sound could be heard from afar. Linley, seated in the lotus position, didn't frown at all. He opened his eyes and raised his head to look. When he saw the source of the sound, his frown slowly relaxed.
"What is this kid doing? Doesn't he know that I'm cultivating?" Lin Ray was a little puzzled.
In the past, Liu Changtian wouldn't be like this. Thinking about it, he stood up with doubt and disappeared.
In the distance, Liu Changtian was lying on the ground, his clothes in tatters. Blood Spirit Sky was coiled on the ground, looking at Liu Changtian with a frivolous expression, as if to say 'come here'.
"What … do you want to continue now?"
"You are not my match at all. Save it. When you become a cultivator like Master, you can come find me again!"
"With your current cultivation method, I'm afraid you'll need a very long time to defeat me."
Liu Changtian's voice echoed in Liu Changtian's mind. Liu Changtian wasn't surprised at all. After all, he was used to it.
However, when Liu Changtian heard Xue Ling Tian speak for the first time, he was shocked like a country bumpkin for several days.
Hearing Xue Ling Tian's words, Liu Changtian climbed up from the ruins with difficulty. He looked at Xue Ling Tian and said, "Don't forget how old I am now and how old you are."
"Moreover, I haven't reached the minimum requirement to practice the cultivation method given by my master. Therefore, when I can practice the cultivation method given by my master and reach a certain level of cultivation, the first thing I will do is to ruthlessly torture you. I will repay you for all the care you have given me during this period of time!"
Liu Changtian emphasized the word 'taking care'. Xue Ling Tian understood the meaning of the word 'taking care'.
He pursed his lips and smiled with disdain. He believed that Lin Ray could torture him because Lin Ray was too strong. As for Liu Changtian?
Hehe … Regarding Liu Changtian's words, the Blood Spirit Sky only listened and didn't take it seriously.
"You two are really in a good mood!"
While the two were silent, Lin Ray, who had been standing in the dark, walked out. He didn't forget to talk to the two as he walked.
"Hmm? Master … "
Lin Ray's appearance stunned Xue Ling Tian. Obviously, he didn't know about Lin Ray's arrival.
"Master."
Seeing Lin Ray's arrival, Liu Changtian's expression changed. His head drooped quickly. Thinking about how he was tortured by Lin Ray in the past year, he shuddered.
"Hmm …"
Looking at the two of them, Linley nodded, then stood between them. "I didn't expect that the two of you would actually spar. However …"
He turned his head and looked at Liu Changtian. "Are you injured?"
"Uh … no … no!" Lin Ray's words stunned Liu Changtian. He didn't expect Lin Ray to ask such a question. This was obviously different from the usual Lin Ray.
If he had seen this before, he wouldn't have appeared. Instead, he would have waited in the dark until Liu Changtian was tortured beyond recognition. But now …
"Mn, that's good."
Hearing that Liu Changtian was fine, Lin Ray let out a long breath. "Since you're fine, pack up and leave the Divine Valley."
"What?"
"What?"
Two shocked voices sounded at the same time. Obviously, it was Liu Changtian and Xue Ling Tian.
Looking at the two, Lin Ray understood. "I'm letting you leave because of a promise from a year ago."
"A year ago?"
Hearing this, Liu Changtian recalled. That's right, a year ago, his master had personally said that he would only give the Sword Sect one year. Within one year, he would be sent to the Sword Sect to challenge and exterminate them.
Now, one year had passed. With his current strength, Liu Changtian was confident that not a single person in the Sword Sect could escape from him.
However … he had some friendship with the Sword Sect. So, Liu Changtian had always thought that this was a joke and didn't take it seriously. But now, it seemed that he had misunderstood Lin Ray's intentions.
Seeing that Liu Changtian was deep in thought, Lin Ray spoke. "I think you've realized that I wasn't joking when I told you to exterminate the Sword Sect one year ago.
"Of course, this is just one of your many missions."
"What else is there? Master, please tell me." Liu Changtian couldn't disobey Lin Ray's orders.
"This time, after you return, the first thing you need to do is to exterminate the Sword Sect. As for the second thing …"
After pondering for a moment, he continued, "It's very simple. After you return and deal with the Sword Sect, go to the Lin family and see how the Lin family is doing. If the Lin family encounters any trouble, just deal with it."
"However, you must remember that if you don't remove the roots, they will grow again. Just like the Lin family, if you encounter any other families that are trying to harm the Lin family, you don't need to know who did it. Just exterminate them and spread the word that if anyone dares to harm the Lin family, they will end up like the Sword Sect."
"Lin family? Are you really the Lin family member who was in a coma for eight years?" Although he had followed Lin Ray for more than a year, Liu Changtian didn't dare to ask too many questions. Now that he heard this, he was confused.
"Heh … You can take it as that. Of course, this is only a temporary body that I'm living in. One day, I will return to my original body." Lin Ray didn't intend to hide anything from Liu Changtian.
"What?"
Liu Changtian was shocked. What did he mean by temporary body? What did he mean by returning to his original body in the future? This method shocked him …
"Haha, that's enough. This isn't what you think now. When you reach a certain height, you will be like me." Seeing Liu Changtian's reaction, Lin Ray interrupted him.
"Remember my words. After you leave, go to the Sword Sect. I'll leave the Sword Sect to you. As for the specifics, you can do as you see fit. I trust that you won't make your master busy."
"As for the Lin family, tell my mother that I'm fine and don't let her worry."
"If they ask when I will return home, tell them that it will be three years. Only a little over a year has passed. There are still two years left. I will definitely return home in two years."
Then Lin Ray told Liu Changtian some things to pay attention to. Apart from the Sword Sect, the rest were related to the Lin family.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Lin Ray finally stopped talking.
"Plop …"
Suddenly, Liu Changtian knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice. He looked at Lin Ray with gratitude. "Master, thank you for accepting me as your disciple. If it wasn't for you, I would still be a frog at the bottom of a well."
"If it wasn't for you, how would I know that the world of cultivation is so wonderful?"
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have the strength I have today."
"Haha, get up. This is just the beginning." With a wave of his hand, a majestic spirit energy rushed out. A hand formed from spirit energy lifted Liu Changtian up from the ground.
"Okay, hurry up and go." Waving his hand at Liu Changtian, he turned to Xue Lingtian. "Go and send Changtian out of the Divine Valley."
"Uh … why me?" Xue Lingtian looked at Lin Ray and asked.
"Haha, because I'm strong! You don't want to accept it? "A look of 'if you don't accept it, come and fight me.'"
"Bastard!" Seeing Lin Ray like this, Xue Lingtian felt stifled. He cursed inwardly but immediately agreed. "Okay, okay, I'm most willing to do this."
"Pfff …"
Seeing Xue Lingtian like this, Liu Changtian couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't that Liu Changtian was easily amused. It was just that this was the first time he saw Xue Lingtian being humiliated like this. It was hard for him not to be unhappy.
"You …"
"Are you leaving or not?"
Whether it was because Lin Ray was beside him or something else, Xue Lingtian roared at Liu Changtian's laughter. Then, he twisted his huge body and rushed towards the exit of the Divine Valley.
"Haha, okay, hurry up and follow him." Sensing the look on Blood Lingtian's face, Linley chuckled, not minding. He spoke to the nearby Liu Changtian.
"En, I understand, Master."
Liu Changtian didn't waste any more words. Seeing that Xue Lingtian's figure was about to disappear from sight, Liu Changtian used all his cultivation and used the Butterfly Steps that Lin Ray taught him to chase after him.
"Hah! Let's go. "
"I'm afraid this place will be quiet soon." Feeling the silence, Lin Ray felt that something was missing.
Usually, when Xue Lingtian and Liu Changtian fought each other, it was very lively and he didn't feel anything. But now that the two of them had suddenly left, the quiet surroundings made Lin Ray feel a little uncomfortable.
The Sword Sect. The Sword Sect was very lively at this moment. Of course, it wasn't because of some kind of happy event, but because the one year's time was up. The thing they were most worried about had come.
In the Sword Sect's ceremonial hall, the sect master and the elders gathered together. The atmosphere was very solemn.
Among them, the most worried person was Wang Yun, who had seen Lin Ray fight back then.
He didn't have the slightest bit of resistance against Lin Ray's strength. He knew very well how powerful Lin Ray was.
Not to mention that there was no one present who could fight against Lin Ray, it was wishful thinking to be able to survive a single attack from Lin Ray.
"Junior Brother Wang Yun, do you think that powerhouse will really come?" Jian Lingzi broke the silence.
"That's right, Junior Brother Wang Yun. Because of the news you brought back, we were on tenterhooks for an entire year. Are you sure that the powerhouse will really come back?"
"Perhaps we can ask this. Are you sure that the powerhouse is very powerful, so powerful that we aren't his match?"
At that moment, doubtful voices sounded one after another. Looking at everyone's reaction, Wang Yun was taken aback. He understood what they were thinking.
"Sigh!"
He let out a long sigh. "Senior Brothers, it would be great if this matter was as you said. If you were there back then, you would understand how I felt back then."
"Even now, I feel that I'm really lucky to be able to survive back then."
What he said was true. Now that Wang Yun thought about the situation back then, he felt that it was fortunate to be able to survive back then.
Fortunately, he didn't act rashly back then. Otherwise … Not to mention standing here safe and sound, he wouldn't have been able to bring back the news that Lin Ray was going to the Sword Sect.
"This …"
Everyone frowned, and their expressions were solemn. If what Wang Yun said was true, then … this matter would be difficult to handle. After all, who in the entire Sword Sect could be a match for him?
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
"That's right! Senior Brother, if what Junior Brother Wang Yun said is true, how should our Sword Sect face such a powerhouse? "
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, how do you think we should handle this matter? After all, this concerns the destruction of the Sword Sect. This is a big matter. Do you think we need to ask the Patriarchs for instructions?"
As soon as this was said, everyone's gaze landed on the last person who spoke, including Ling Jianzi.
Upon hearing this, Ling Jianzi, who was the Sect Leader, fell silent. The Sword Sect had three patriarchs. As they had been in seclusion for a long time, very few people knew of their existence.
However, as the higher-ups of the Sword Sect, they knew very well how powerful the three patriarchs of the Sword Sect were.
However, what gave Ling Jianzi a headache was that the three patriarchs had said before they went into seclusion that no matter what happened, they were not to disturb them. If they disturbed them because of this matter that they didn't know was true, the consequences would be obvious.
