C566 Closer!
Although he had only managed to get rid of Qin Yuan with the help of the terrifying Demonic Beast in the secret realm, he had still managed to withstand a few strikes from Qin Yuan.
However, after he used the Monarch Spear to crack Qin Yuan's pagoda, Qin Yuan raged and unleashed an even stronger combat strength, forcing Lin Cheng to retreat.
However, at that time, Lin Cheng had only just comprehended the Spear Intent not long ago. Naturally, his combat strength was far inferior to Qin Yuan's.
However, it was different now. Not only was Lin Cheng infinitely close to the Divine Ability Stage, but he was also very close to the Divine Ability Stage. His strength had once again improved by a lot, and at the same time, he had also cultivated the Void Arts. With his own Intrinsic Magic Treasure, his combat strength had increased by a lot. It was far from what he had been able to compare with in the past.
Lin Cheng believed that if he were to fight Qin Yuan now... Even if he was still no match for Qin Yuan in the end, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state like last time. If he could comprehend another kind of natural law, he might even be able to defeat Qin Yuan!
Of course, it wasn't easy to comprehend a kind of natural law. Even now, Lin Cheng was confident that he could escape unscathed from Qin Yuan.
Perhaps Ming Danjing was even stronger than Qin Yuan, but to Lin Cheng, she was no longer powerless. She could only crush him like an ant.
Furthermore, what Lin Cheng wanted to do now was to save Zhu Ziqiao first. If he only wanted to escape from Ming Danjing's pursuit, it wouldn't be too difficult for him right now.
These thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Lin Cheng finally retracted his gaze. He naturally understood how sensitive the Expert of Divine Ability Stage's senses were. Therefore, in order to avoid Ming Danjing noticing that someone was secretly watching him, he did not continue watching.
After that, Lin Cheng put the Arm Guard on the Storage Ring, although he did not know about Ming Danjing's Cultivation Level. Whether or not the Arm Guard could block the detection of her spiritual sense, he had to be on guard. After all, Ming Danjing was an Expert of Divine Ability Stage, even if she was in the Divine Ability Stage. She was an expert!
Now that he had seen Zhu Ziqiao with his own eyes, this was already a great harvest for Lin Cheng. However, if he wanted to save Zhu Ziqiao, he couldn't rush it. He had to find a suitable time.
After all, this was the Heavenly Star Sect, and there were experts from other sects present. Especially those from the Unification Sect and Myriad Sword Sect. If he were to fight Ming Danjing... Once those people took the opportunity to attack, no matter how strong his combat strength was... Die!
In order to not let Ming Danjing notice, Lin Cheng watched Zhu Ziqiao leave the winding mountain path with his eyes wide open. He clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and there was also a trace of determination!
"It's nothing more than death!"
Only when Zhu Ziqiao and the others disappeared from his sight did Lin Cheng calmly say to himself.
Night.
Imperial Garden.
This was the place used by the Heavenly Star Sect to entertain guests. It was called a garden. In fact, it was a mountain, one of the peaks of the mountain range of the Heavenly Star Sect. The people of the major sects in the Dongzhou were staying here temporarily, and at the same time, they were staying here. There were also Ming Danjing, Zhu Ziqiao and the others.
The arrangement of the Heavenly Star Sect had made it convenient for Lin Cheng to take action.
Lin Cheng knew that the experts from the Southern Domain had a higher status than the cultivator from the Dongzhou. Even if all of them were elders from the major sects in the Dongzhou, they were still weaker than the cultivator from the Southern Domain.
This could be seen from the proud tone of Ming Danjing's two disciples. Furthermore, when the cultivator from the Dongzhou mentioned the Southern Domain, no matter if it was the rogue cultivators or the disciples of the sect, they all had a respectful tone. It was just like how the rogue cultivators admired the disciples of the sect.
Lin Cheng knew that this was because in the eyes of the cultivator in the other provinces, Dongzhou was the so-called desolate land. It was like a sect disciple who possessed a large amount of resources and cultivation techniques was looking down on rogue cultivators.
Therefore, what Lin Cheng was worried about the most was that the Heavenly Star Sect had too much respect for Ming Danjing and the others because of this. This was why they had arranged their own camp for them.
If that was the case, it wouldn't be good news for Lin Cheng.
One should know that with Ming Danjing's Cultivation Level, if he wanted to get close to her... Perhaps he could use the Arm Guard to isolate Ming Danjing's spiritual sense. It would not be detected. However, if he wanted to bring Zhu Ziqiao away... It was very difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered.
More importantly, although this Arm Guard could isolate the detection of the cultivator's spiritual sense, Lin Cheng knew nothing about Ming Danjing's strength. Furthermore, Ming Danjing came from the Formless Immortal Sect of Southern Domain. Did she have any special and powerful treasures with her? Lin Cheng wasn't sure either.
Now that he found out that Ming Danjing and the others were also living on this mountain, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Maybe he would be discovered by Ming Danjing when he got close. But... Since there were cultivators from other sects living on this mountain, he could take advantage of it.
Even if he and Zhu Ziqiao were being hunted down when they were escaping, he could still create chaos in the dark and take the opportunity to escape.
Although Lin Cheng knew that perhaps all the slight chaos was nothing to Ming Danjing. It might not be able to stop Ming Danjing from chasing them, but as long as there was a slight possibility. It could be considered a kind of help to Lin Cheng.
He knew very well that with his current strength, he could leave Zhu Ziqiao if he wanted to. Not only did he have to take a huge risk, but the possibility of success was not high either. It could even be said that it was almost negligible, so Lin Cheng had to do everything he could to gain advantages for himself.
At this moment, Lin Cheng could not help feeling a little regretful. If he had known earlier that he could get so close to Zhu Ziqiao's station so easily, at that time, he would be able to disguise himself as a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. This would at least lower Ming Danjing's vigilance and suspicion.
However, he was wearing the mask at this moment, and he looked completely different from before. No matter how familiar someone was with him, they wouldn't be able to recognize him.
At the same time, he deliberately restrained his aura and spiritual sense. Even if he wished to meet Zhu Ziqiao right now, he had to endure it as much as possible. Regarding an Expert of Divine Ability Stage like Ming Danjing, no matter how careful he was, it would not be an exaggeration.
However, Lin Cheng still could not find a safe way to get close to Zhu Ziqiao.
Although Ming Danjing and the other sects in Dongzhou were stationed on the same mountain peak, there was still some distance between each sect's encampment. It was not close to each other.
Moreover, although Ming Danjing was an Expert of Divine Ability Stage, the people from the other sects in Dongzhou were not weak either. Each sect had an Expert of Divine Ability Stage.
If he rashly approached, he might be discovered by the people of the other sects before he reached Zhu Ziqiao's station.
Countless thoughts flashed across Lin Cheng's mind. Finally, he suddenly remembered that he and Green Snake had been investigated by a wild beast. He could not help but have a thought.
In the bedroom.
Zhu Ziqiao sat quietly. In the past, she would definitely be cultivating at this time. But today, she just sat there and did not cultivate. In the past few years, this had never happened before.
If she didn't cultivate, she wouldn't be able to help but miss Lin Cheng. Furthermore, she knew very well that no matter how much she hated Ming Danjing, the only way for her to escape was... It was to possess powerful strength.
If she wanted to surpass Ming Danjing, at that time, Ming Danjing would no longer be able to stop her from leaving.
Therefore, no matter how angry and sorrowful she was in her heart, Zhu Ziqiao would force herself to cultivate. After a long time, she had even gotten used to it.
However, at this moment, she was unable to force herself to cultivate. She could not even raise the thought of cultivating.
Because, her heart had always been unable to calm down.
In fact, it wasn't just today. Ever since she came to Dongzhou, her mind had been filled with messy thoughts. Lin Cheng's face was constantly appearing in her mind.
She had known Lin Cheng from the beginning until the end when she left Lin Cheng's side. The scenes from that time, the countless times they had lived and died together, had been deeply engraved in her heart and would never be erased.
In the past, when she was in Southern Domain, she could still force herself to cultivate. That was because she knew that Lin Cheng was in Dongzhou. She had no way of escaping Ming Danjing's control. No matter how much she missed Lin Cheng, or even escaped from Ming Danjing's side. There was no result.
With her strength, the difficulty of crossing Prefecture Boundary might not be any less than escaping from Ming Danjing's side.
But now, it was different. She had returned to the Dongzhou once more. She and Lin Cheng were no longer separated by the Prefecture Boundary. The two of them were in the same province. Zhu Ziqiao's heart was immediately filled with Lin Cheng's face.
0
Zhu Ziqiao really wanted to escape, but she did not dare to do anything. She did not even dare to show any unusual emotions towards the Dongzhou. She must make Ming Danjing think that she had given up.
Otherwise, if she revealed any thoughts about Lin Cheng, it might cause Ming Danjing to kill Lin Cheng.
Zhu Ziqiao could only forcefully endure the resentment and pain in her heart.
At this moment, Zhu Ziqiao suddenly felt that something was approaching her. She was not nervous at all. She did not even release the spiritual sense. She knew that it was very likely that Qian Feng had come to entangle with her again.
However, after waiting for a moment, she did not hear the knocking, but the other party was still there.
A look of deep disgust flashed across Zhu Ziqiao's eyes. Qian Feng had not given up on pestering her these few years. At this moment, the other party had already started peeping at her.
She suddenly stood up and went outside to open the door. However, she was surprised to find that it was not the Qian Feng she had imagined, but a wild beast. At this moment, the wild beast heard the movement and immediately fled in panic.
Zhu Ziqiao shook her head with an expressionless face and was about to turn around and return. However, just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly froze.
