144: C144 He Agreed to Join

C144 He Agreed to Join

Lin Cheng frowned. "But what?"

Zhao Wanli said, "You must come back within half a year to participate in the examination of the main hall. Otherwise, Gong Qianxiang's death won't be so easy to explain. I'm afraid the main hall will still pursue this matter."

A cold light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes as he stared at Zhao Wanli.

Zhao Wanli was threatening him!

This man wanted Lin Cheng to join the Unification Hall temporarily so that he could report Gong Qianxiang's death to the main hall. It was because of the internal conflicts and Gong Qianxiang's provocation that Lin Cheng had no choice but to kill Gong Qianxiang.

In this way, the main hall would at most punish Lin Cheng to a certain extent, but this kind of punishment would not be enough to kill him. It must be within the scope that Lin Cheng could bear.

Furthermore, Zhao Wanli could buy him half a year's time.

But in Lin Cheng's opinion, this was Zhao Wanli's selfish motive. One should know that if he had already joined the Unification Hall, it didn't matter if he came to participate in the examination within half a year. It didn't affect his status as a guest alchemist of the Unification Hall.

Therefore, even if he didn't return after half a year, the main hall should deal with the conflict between him and Gong Qianxiang according to the nature of the internal conflicts.

However, according to Zhao Wanli, if he didn't come back within half a year, it would be difficult to explain this matter to the main hall. The main hall would investigate this matter. This was clearly a threat to Lin Cheng, hinting that even if he hid now, the matter wasn't over yet.

Most importantly, Lin Cheng was going to return. As a guest alchemist of the Dongluo City branch, he was going to the main hall to participate in the examination.

Because of this, if Lin Cheng could pass the examination, Zhao Wanli would be rewarded with points.

"Little thief, he wants to guarantee that we won't be hunted down by the main hall of Unification Hall. He wants you to earn points for him." Zhu Ziqiao purposely lowered her voice and reminded him.

"I know."

Lin Cheng nodded slightly.

He could naturally see through Zhao Wanli's intention. If he agreed, this meant that both parties had reached an agreement. If he didn't fulfill the agreement... Obviously, Zhao Wanli would give another excuse to the main hall. Perhaps it would be him killing Gong Qianxiang for no reason. Provoking the Unification Hall.

As for how to explain his identity as a guest alchemist, Zhao Wanli must have his own ways.

Obviously, in Zhao Wanli's opinion, he had already gained complete control of himself. Furthermore, with just a simple sentence, he would be able to become an important alchemist of Unification Hall. Or become a stray dog chased by the Unification Hall.

With this assurance, Zhao Wanli dared to come over at this moment and negotiate with him confidently. He even dared to ask Zhao Wanli to join the Unification Hall for the time being, and then he would be able to leave.

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Cheng said faintly, "If I don't come back in half a year, Steward Zhao can totally inform the Unification Hall's main hall and send someone to hunt me down. Isn't this Steward Zhao's plan?"

"As long as Young Master Lin fulfills the decision between us, this kind of thing will never happen. Furthermore, I will try my best to mediate for Young Master Lin in the main hall."

Zhao Wanli said with a smile, but he didn't deny what Lin Cheng said. Obviously, he wanted to let Lin Cheng know that if he didn't fulfill the agreement between the two of them, the Unification Hall would be the one waiting for him.

However, Zhao Wanli didn't know that in his point of view, those who were being hunted by the Unification Hall would die for sure. This was his biggest reliance. However, in Lin Cheng's point of view, the pursuit of the Unification Hall might not be that terrifying. Even if the Unification Hall was backed by the Unification Sect, he had no fear.

His goal was to kill the elder of the Myriad Sword Sect, Zuo Mu, with his own hands. How could he be afraid of another sect hunting him down?

However, Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and agreed. "Alright, half a year. If I don't come back after half a year, Steward Zhao can handle it himself."

A look of joy flashed across Zhao Wanli's eyes when he heard this. He quickly said, "Pill Master Lin, you won't regret your decision today."

He immediately changed the way he addressed Lin Cheng. From Young Master Lin to Pill Master Lin, it was obvious that he wanted to confirm Lin Cheng's identity as a guest alchemist of Unification Hall.

Lin Cheng smiled noncommittally. "Maybe."

Zhao Wanli could see that Lin Cheng still had doubts, as if he did not believe it. He could not help saying, "Pill Master Lin, you might not know, but I heard a friend in the main hall mention it. This time, the main hall didn't recruit alchemists to strengthen the Unification Hall. More importantly, it seems like the Unification Sect is recruiting alchemists. "

Because Lin Cheng had agreed to join the Unification Sect, Zhao Wanli's tone became much more intimate.

"Unification Sect?"

Lin Cheng was startled when he heard this. He was slightly surprised. "The Unification Sect still needs to recruit alchemists from the outside world?"

How could the dignified Cultivation Realm lack alchemists?

Of course, it was not easy for outstanding alchemists to appear anywhere. But the problem was that the alchemists of Unification Sect were much stronger than those who hadn't even broken through to the Core Sea Stage yet in the outside world. Why would the Unification Sect recruit alchemists from the Mortal Realm?

"This isn't something that a mere branch manager like me can know. I've only heard about it from my friends in the main hall. But, if I think about it carefully, it's most likely true."

Zhao Wanli said, "In the past half a year, just from what I know, the main hall has recruited at least dozens of outstanding alchemists. However, there aren't that many newly built branch halls, and I've never heard of any branch hall that has a new alchemist assigned to them. I'm afraid that even if these newly recruited alchemists stay in the main hall, they won't be able to accommodate them. "

"These dozens of apothecaries have all passed the examination?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Of course."

Zhao Wanli nodded and said, "Pill Master Lin, you should know the influence of the Unification Hall. Now, the Unification Hall is recruiting alchemists. Do you think there are only a few dozen people participating in the examination? There are at least a few hundred people from the Dongluo City who are here to register. It's a pity that none of them passed the exam..."

He shook his head with some regret. If it wasn't because the test was too difficult to pass, why would he humbly beg Lin Cheng to join the Unification Hall?

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be shocked. There were hundreds of people from the Dongluo City who came to sign up, and there were dozens of people who passed the test in the entire Stellar Country?

If one were to calculate it this way, the number of alchemists recruited this time would surely be a shocking number.

One should know that the Unification Hall wasn't only in the Stellar Country. There were almost all the kingdoms in the North of Dongzhou, including the Unification Hall. Every kingdom had a main hall in their capital city, and the other cities had branches.

Strictly speaking, the Unification Hall in every kingdom should be the true branch hall, and the main hall that belonged to the Unification Sect should be the main hall.

As for the branches like the Unification Hall in the Dongluo City, they were actually just a small branch.

If so, it could be said that the Unification Hall was spread across the entire North of Dongzhou!

This was also the reason why Zhao Wanli was so confident, believing that he definitely wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the Unification Hall. It was because the Unification Hall's scale was too large, and there were too many experts. No matter where he went, he wouldn't be able to escape from the territory of the Unification Hall. Wouldn't that mean death?!

From this, one could imagine how many alchemists the Unification Hall had recruited this time.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be shocked. He realized that what Zhao Wanli had heard was true. There were so many alchemists in the Unification Hall, it was definitely not something that the Unification Hall's main hall could accommodate. In that case, it was very likely that the Unification Sect was recruiting alchemists.

But the problem was, why would the Unification Sect need alchemists? Furthermore, there were so many alchemists?

"If I have the chance, I can participate in the examination. Perhaps, I might even have the chance to join the Unification Sect." Lin Cheng thought to himself, "Only by joining the Unification Sect will I be able to learn the profound Profound Arts. Only by using combat skills can I have enough strength to kill Zuo Mu."

"However, all of this will have to wait until I return from the Daluo Mountain Range."

"Even if I can't join the Unification Sect, I still have the skill on the Cattlehide Roll. It is also a skill that belongs to the cultivator."

Compared to participating in the examination, Lin Cheng had no idea what the result would be. He would rather go to the Daluo Mountain Range first and find out what was written on the map of the Cattlehide Roll.

More importantly, Lin Cheng didn't trust Zhao Wanli very much. He didn't have the yearning and admiration that other people had for the Unification Hall, because he knew that the Unification Hall was just a huge power, but not a noble place.

At the same time, Lin Cheng could faintly feel that the recruitment of so many alchemists by the Unification Sect this time wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"Little thief."

Zhu Ziqiao's voice sounded from the side, "Someone is coming."

Lin Cheng immediately turned his head and saw that on the other side of the long street, there were a few people riding horses and looking over.

Lin Hu!

When Lin Cheng saw the man riding in front of him, he immediately recognized him. That man was the patriarch of Lin Family, and also his father, Lin Hu.0

At this moment, Lin Hu had also seen him. He had already stopped his horse. Even though they were very far away, Lin Cheng could still see the shock and anger on his face.

"Unfilial son!"

A furious shout came from Lin Hu's mouth. He rode his horse to a place not far away from Lin Cheng, but was stopped by a few people who were following behind him. Lin Cheng recognized that these people were all elders of Lin Family.

"You actually killed your mother and your brother!"

Lin Hu pointed the whip at Lin Cheng. Due to his anger and shock, his hands were trembling slightly. "You are simply..."

"If I was the one who died today, would you still be so angry?" Lin Cheng said faintly, but it made Lin Hu freeze for a second.

"Since the day I was expelled from the Lin Family, the Lin Family has nothing to do with me anymore." Lin Cheng said faintly, "After that, Tan Yulan and Lin Xing... They are the enemies who want to kill me. I have to kill them."

He glanced at Lin Hu coldly and said in a deep voice, "If you want to avenge them, you can also attack!"
