C69 Clean up
"No!"
"That girl will not be in danger just like that..."
"Maybe there are other possibilities... Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to calm himself down.
Then, his eyes quickly swept across the surrounding cliffs. He looked especially carefully, wanting to see if there was anything else left behind!
After a moment, his originally nervous expression finally relaxed, and a smile could not help but appear on his face.
He finally confirmed that Zhu Ziqiao did not fall from here but climbed up from here!
Because there were obvious traces of climbing up on the nearby cliffs. The degree of steep here was indeed suitable for climbing up.
Other than that, Lin Cheng also found traces of someone stepping on a dried branch of the leather armor.
All of this indicated that Zhu Ziqiao climbed up from here. Although that girl fell down, she did not die. Instead, she climbed up.
"But why did she climb up from here? The location that Le Xuannian mentioned is very far away!" Lin Cheng could not help but feel puzzled.
However, Lin Cheng also knew that it was not surprising for him to encounter some strange things in this Endless Valley. Perhaps Zhu Ziqiao had encountered a spatial turbulence and was sent here. Perhaps she had encountered a gust of wind during her jump and was blown here. All of these were possible.
No matter what, as long as Zhu Ziqiao was still alive, this was enough. Lin Cheng could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He jumped down from the cliff and landed on the thick tree trunk. Lin Cheng could not help but shake his head and smile, "This girl... is quite bold!"
Looking at the dusty leather armor in his hand, the smile on Lin Cheng's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a touch of anger.
"Even the leather armor was torn. It can be seen that this girl must have been very tired at that time. At the same time, she was also very flustered!"
"If I was careless, I'm afraid that I would fall off the cliff. Even if I didn't fall to pieces, my injuries would definitely not be light!"
A wave of anger rose and surged in Lin Cheng's chest!
Zhu Ziqiao had been forced to such an extent. The main culprit was the elder of Dongzhou College, her cheap master who was worse than pigs and dogs, Shui Hui!
And that cultivator of Myriad Sword Sect!
"Hmph!"
Lin Cheng let out a cold snort and jumped down from the tree. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and turned around to leave.
Lin Cheng strode forward like a dragon and a tiger. His expression was cold and his eyes carried a cold killing intent.
"Little girl, I want to help you vent your anger first!"
"No matter if it's that master of yours who is worse than a pig or a dog, or that cultivator of the Myriad Sword Sect, I won't let them go!"
"The Blue Fire is the perfect opportunity!"
As Lin Cheng walked, he raised his head and looked at the top of the cliff. His eyes seemed to cross the space, and he saw the ugly face of the elders of Dongzhou College, as well as the arrogant expression of the cultivator of the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Puff!"
"Bang ~ ~ ~!"
A few figures flew out.
Someone cried out in alarm: "Senior, you are also a member of the academy, why did you attack us?"
"We were looking for you!"
After a cold snort, the joints of the few people were removed, and they were all thrown onto the trees.
At this moment, Lin Cheng, who was dressed in the uniform of a student from Dongzhou College, held a short sword and quietly left.
Within a few short days, all the students who came down from this end were knocked unconscious by Lin Cheng. After removing their joints, they hung on the tree.
With his current strength, even if five or six people were to walk together, he would still be able to successfully launch a sneak attack in an instant.
Not to mention, later on, he even changed into the uniform of a student from Dongzhou College. Even when he walked up to them, no one was wary of him. When he attacked, he was invincible!
"Hu!"
In front of him, the Blue Fire fluctuated once again. Its range shrunk. Lin Cheng was delighted. He knew that this was the Blue Fire, and it was going to return to normal soon.
However, Lin Cheng still did not immediately head over. Instead, he continued searching for another day. After making sure that everyone who came down from this place had been hung on a tree by him, he turned around and headed in the direction of the Blue Fire.
The scorching feeling underneath his feet was still there, but the range of the Blue Fires's eruption had already greatly reduced. The current location of Lin Cheng was within the range of the Blue Fires's eruption a few days ago. But now, other than being charred black, there were no other violent flames.
Very quickly, Lin Cheng found a trail of footprints on the charred ground. These footprints were not large, and it was obvious that it was a woman's footprints. Lin Cheng immediately guessed that it should be Le Xuannian.
As expected!
After half an incense stick of time, Lin Cheng arrived near the Blue Fire. He also saw a figure lingering in the distance. It was Le Xuannian.
Although the Blue Fire had shrunk by a large margin, it still had a large area. Although the tongues of flame were no longer as violent as before, the hot temperature made people's heart palpitate even more.
Obviously, the shrunken Blue Fire was even more terrifying.
"Swoosh!"
Le Xuannian also saw that someone was coming over. She was immediately startled and suddenly pulled out her long sword. When she saw the person's clothes, she let out a sigh of relief. So it was a student from the academy.
However, when the person came closer, Le Xuannian's eyes immediately widened. "You... Lin Cheng?"
Lin Cheng walked over and cupped his fists. "Senior Sister Le."
Le Xuannian wanted to say something but stopped herself.
She wanted to ask Lin Cheng if he had found Zhu Ziqiao, but she was afraid that it would hurt Lin Cheng's heart. She could not help feeling awkward and did not know what to say.
"Lin Cheng, what you are wearing..." Le Xuannian just remembered that Lin Cheng was wearing the uniform of a student from Dongzhou College.
"It is convenient to wear it like this." Lin Cheng vaguely said.
Le Xuannian was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. He was wearing it like this to make it easier for her to sneak attack him.
Just think about it, even when she did not see clearly just now, she thought that he was also a member of the academy, let alone other students.
If Lin Cheng suddenly attacked when he got close, unless he was a peak Chakra Stage, no one would be able to defend against his sneak attack.
This made Le Xuannian laugh and angry, "How is it convenient for you to move? It is clearly easier to sneak attack!"
Lin Cheng did not deny it, he calmly nodded and said, "Senior Sister Le, this Blue Fire is mine. Who wants a share of it? He is my enemy, especially the people from Dongzhou College and Myriad Sword Sect. I will never watch them take away even a single flame! "
Le Xuannian stared at him. "I am also a member of Dongzhou College. Do you think I am your enemy? Do you want to take care of me as well? "
Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "What is Senior Sister Le saying? You are my benefactor. How could I fight with you? However, with your current Cultivation Level, take away a tongue of flame. It should be considered as completing the mission, right? I can help you take away the tongue of flame... "0
Before he could finish his words, Le Xuannian interrupted him. She said unhappily," The students who came down from here were all taken care of by you, right? If I was the only one who took the tongue of flame back, do you think the elders would not suspect me? Are you helping me or harming me! "
Lin Cheng frowned and asked," Then... "
"Forget it. There are so many people who did not complete the mission anyway. The law does not blame the public. It is naturally not a big deal to have one more person." Le Xuannian lightly shook her head and said, "You don't need to care about me. Concentrate on collecting the Blue Fire."
Lin Cheng heard this and was slightly startled. Le Xuannian's attitude was greatly out of Lin Cheng's expectations. Although Le Xuannian had helped him a few times, when faced with a rare treasure like the Blue Fire, he did not expect Le Xuannian to be so open-minded.
He could not help but say, "Senior Sister Le, if you are willing, I can help you collect a few more flames and teach you how to refine them."
Le Xuannian's eyes flashed and she was somewhat moved.
"Forget it! The Blue Fire is indeed a rare treasure. Unfortunately, I am not an alchemist. Secondly, it's not an Artifact-refining Master, and I don't have any special cultivation technique to use the Blue Fire. Even if I can successfully refine a few flames with your help, it will still be a waste to me! "
In the end, Le Xuannian still rejected Lin Cheng's good intentions. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "Moreover, I am merely a Chakra Stage Junior Cultivating Warrior. If I had the Blue Fire... It might attract other people's covetous eyes. It would only cause trouble for itself!"
She did not say a single word. The elders wanted all of them to go up from a fixed place. The meaning was obvious.
After they went up, the elders would definitely keep the jade bottles and carefully examine them. Even if she refined the Blue Fire, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the eyes of the elders. At that time, she would definitely be in big trouble.
Le Xuannian's clarity once again surprised Lin Cheng.
This was a Blue Fire!
Putting aside the fact that it was priceless, if he exchanged it with an alchemist or an Artifact-refining Master, he would definitely be able to exchange it for any pill or weapon of any grade. Even the treasures of the Cultivation Realm would be enough for him to choose whatever he wanted.
Facing this kind of temptation, Le Xuannian was actually able to endure it. Lin Cheng couldn't help but secretly admire her. He believed that if he were to encounter this kind of temptation, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to resist it or not.
"Looking at Senior Sister Le's Yuan energy fluctuation, it should be a Second Level of Chakra Stage Cultivation Level, right?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked.
"What?" Le Xuannian was stunned.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "When this matter is over, I have something to give to Senior Sister Le. After Senior Sister Le returns, do not leave Dongzhou College for the short term."
Seeing that Le Xuannian was somewhat suspicious, Lin Cheng did not explain much. He only smiled slightly and turned around to leave.
Le Xuannian had reminded him to be careful of Shui Hui several times and also told him that Zhu Ziqiao was forced down the cliff. Lin Cheng did not like to owe others favors, so he decided to give Le Xuannian some pill.
As long as he got the Blue Fire, he could refine all the pill that was enough for Le Xuannian to break through from the Second Level of Chakra Stage to the Core Sea Stage.
