C903 Wait for My Return!
After finishing all the matters in the Longevity Sect, Lin Cheng decided to leave for the Myriad Sword Sect.
In fact, he was waiting for Gu Yuanhua to contact the disciples of the Longevity Sect. He wanted to find out more about the situation in the Myriad Sword Sect before making any further plans. However... When the rogue cultivator called Zhao Yan appeared near the Longevity Sect, Lin Cheng realized... He was afraid that things wouldn't go as he had planned.
Although they still hadn't found the rogue cultivator called Zhao Yan, they weren't sure if he was really related to the Celestial Devil Sect. However, this reminded Lin Cheng of something and made him understand. Perhaps he could stay here and cultivate slowly, or wait for the original disciples of the Longevity Sect to send back the news. However, that devil might not wait.
Being unable to grasp the situation of that devil was Lin Cheng's biggest weakness.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think that the Longevity Sect was still too weak. Especially before this, Gu Yuanhua and the others were barely holding on to their last breath. If it wasn't for Hai Shu and Ren Xiao, the Longevity Sect would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
It was precisely because of the decline of the Longevity Sect that there were many things that couldn't be done.
If it was any other sect, even if they didn't dare to go against them, they would still send their disciples to the Celestial Devil Sect. Even if they pretended to be a rogue cultivator and joined the Celestial Devil Sect, they would at least be able to obtain some information.
However, there were only a few disciples left in the Longevity Sect. Gu Yuanhua might not be willing to send his disciples to such a dangerous mission.
Besides, the Longevity Sect was still struggling at death's door at that time. What could they do even if they found out about the situation of the Great Devil?
It was precisely because of this that Lin Cheng had no idea about the situation of the Great Devil. He didn't even know what the current situation of the Celestial Devil Sect was.
However, Lin Cheng couldn't wait any longer. Perhaps, that Zhao Yan had appeared in the vicinity of the Longevity Sect. It was because he hadn't joined the Celestial Devil Sect. He wasn't a devil cultivator. Therefore, when he heard that the Longevity Sect had a Nine-revolution Divine Pill and was recruiting rogue cultivators, he wanted to try his luck.
Perhaps, when that rogue cultivator saw him, he saw him as well. He was worried that he might be misunderstood, so he quickly left.
Of course, this was a good guess. But if that wasn't the case, then Zhao Yan was really a disciple of the Celestial Devil Sect. He came to the Longevity Sect to inquire about the situation. The meaning of this was completely different.
Therefore, even if Lin Cheng didn't know whether Zuo Mu was still in the Myriad Sword Sect or if the Celestial Devil Sect had their eyes on the Longevity Sect, he couldn't wait any longer. He could only finish what he needed to do as soon as possible.
Only in this way could he concentrate on that devil.
At that time, he would have no fear, no matter if he died in battle or fought with his life on the line. He wouldn't shrink back at all.
But now, he had to go to the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Be careful!"
Zhu Ziqiao did not say much and only gently reminded him.
She knew better than anyone how dangerous it was for Lin Cheng to go to Myriad Sword Sect.
Even though Lin Cheng had forced those mighty warriors to retreat and killed a few of them, he had even killed one of the top mighty warriors of the Myriad Sword Sect who had already reached the Half-step Sovereign.
However, how could a sect only have such a small amount of resources?
If that was the case, it would have been destroyed long ago. It wouldn't have become the strongest sect in the north, and even the Unification Sect would have been suppressed by it.
The Myriad Sword Sect was definitely not as weak as they had imagined.
Lin Cheng went to settle the score with Zuo Mu. If it was a sneak attack, it wouldn't be a big deal. At that time, once Zuo Mu left the mountain gate of the Myriad Sword Sect, Lin Cheng would be able to kill him with his current strength. It wouldn't be difficult at all. Zuo Mu wouldn't be able to escape either.
However, if Zuo Mu stayed on the mountain, there was only one option for Lin Cheng, and that was to fight him.
Unless Lin Cheng could really force the Myriad Sword Sect to hand Zuo Mu over, it would be even more difficult than fighting him directly. If the Myriad Sword Sect really did that, it would be equivalent to them ripping their own faces off and throwing them onto the ground. If Lin Cheng stepped on them a few times, they would lose all their faces. No sect would make such a humiliating decision if they wanted to continue standing in the Dongzhou.
In that case, the only thing they could do in the end was to compete with each other in terms of strength.
When the time came, it would be incomparably tragic. This was something that could be expected.
Even if Zhu Ziqiao did not say it verbally, how could she not be worried at all?
"Don't worry, I will be back very soon." Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Myriad Sword Sect is not a dangerous place. It is not as scary as you think."
"En."
Zhu Ziqiao nodded.
However, there were some things that she did not say in her heart.
In fact, in her opinion, Lin Cheng had underestimated the Myriad Sword Sect. Of course, it made sense. Whether it was the attitude of the Myriad Sword Sect toward the Great Devil or not... And those who are afraid of death, they despise it. They didn't even need to put those people in their eyes.
What Lin Cheng had analyzed was that those almighty experts had lived for a very long time. In fact, they had been hiding their aura all along. This was a form of escape and retreat. Although they were avoiding the backlash of the natural law, they were afraid of death at the end of the day.
If this had been a strategy at the start, they would have concealed their aura. They would have waited for an opportunity to once again gain control of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, as time passed, this method of escape and habit had gradually fused into their bones.
As a result, those mighty figures became afraid of death. Because, as long as they didn't dare to make a move at the beginning, then they wouldn't have the courage to fight to the death in the future.
But even so, those people were once mighty figures. They had once stood at the peak of the world and were even like Lin Cheng, looking down on the Dongzhou with high spirits.
More importantly, those people were afraid of death, and more importantly, they were afraid of the Great Devil. Because in their eyes, the Great Devil was terrifying. Even though its strength might not have recovered much, it was still terrifying.
Great demons were synonymous with fear.
When facing that great demon, they would instinctively feel fear and think of escaping.
However, if they were facing Lin Cheng, it would be completely different.
Lin Cheng was the same as them, both of them were cultivator. Furthermore, Lin Cheng was a rising star, an ant in their eyes.
But now, this ant had actually climbed onto their heads, and even posed a threat to them. How could those mighty figures be willing to accept this?
They wouldn't be afraid of Lin Cheng. Instead, they would be thinking about how to kill him. Otherwise, they would feel a burning sensation on their faces and their hearts would be filled with jealousy and hatred as long as Lin Cheng was alive.
They had been cultivating for so many years, and had experienced so many hardships. But now, they could only conceal their Qi, and live like a turtle in its shell.
But what about Lin Cheng?
A mere junior, an ant, was standing at the peak of the world. He had the strength and realm that they had dreamt of. He controlled the rules of the world and looked down upon the Dongzhou. How could they calm down?
An ant like you had just obtained some kind of fortune. You have actually become a mighty figure just like us, and your lifespan is constantly being consumed. And yet, you are standing at the peak of it all, concealing your aura. This is simply intolerable!
Even if Lin Cheng was as powerful as the devil, those powerful experts were still afraid of him. However, they would never be afraid of him, much less like when they saw the devil. Their hearts were filled with fear. All they wanted to do was to escape. They would do everything in their power to kill Lin Cheng. It could be said that this was the kind of unwillingness and arrogance that existed deep in their bones.
If they wanted to dispel their unwillingness and eliminate their arrogance, there was only one way, and that was to defeat them face to face.
They could only let them know that Lin Cheng's power was not something they could withstand. Only then could those people realize that there was nothing that was natural. Even if they were mighty figures, they wouldn't be able to do whatever they wanted. Because... They were no match for Lin Cheng, and he could kill them at any time.
However, Zhu Ziqiao could imagine how many battles Lin Cheng would have to go through and how much he would have to pay to achieve this.
Therefore, no matter how confident she was in Lin Cheng, she couldn't help but worry. Because, no matter how powerful Lin Cheng was, if his opponent didn't confront him directly, he even used some kind of underhanded technique. To him... But it was really impossible to guard against.
Zhu Ziqiao would never overestimate the character of those sect experts, much less underestimate their shamelessness and underhanded actions.
Otherwise, the current Dongzhou would not be in such a situation, and the Longevity Sect would not have declined.
However, Zhu Ziqiao did not say anything about it because she knew that... Even if she did, Lin Cheng would still go to the Myriad Sword Sect. If it was her, she would go as well. It wasn't just an old debt from her past life. It was also a form of cultivation. To Lin Cheng, it was the same. If it was not resolved, his realm would be higher and higher. This matter would be even more troublesome for him.
In the end, it might become his inner demon.
If he waited until Lin Cheng reached the Half-step Sovereign Stage before giving birth to his inner demon, it would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, Zhu Ziqiao only tidied Lin Cheng's clothes and said, "Then I'll wait here for you to come back!"0
"I won't let you wait for too long!" Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am not going to die. If I really cannot defeat you, I will naturally retreat."
"Okay!"
Zhu Ziqiao nodded.
Lin Cheng said, "You have to be careful too. If you have any trouble after I leave, remember what I told you before."
Zhu Ziqiao nodded and said softly, "I have already remembered it in my heart."
Lin Cheng smiled and shook her small hand. He said, "Then I will go."
He strode out of the residence and came to the courtyard. He smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, this is my first time going to the Myriad Sword Sect. I want to see what the number one sect in the north looks like."
