Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

“Just as well, it’s time for us to settle our differences.”

The Zhang Family Patriarch shook his head and said,

“Wǔ Cǎi, you’re still so stubborn, unwilling to listen to anyone’s advice.”

After speaking, he turned to Zhang Wu and said:

“Little Wu, take Lin Jing and leave this place to avoid getting injured by mistake.”

“Yes, Master.”

Zhang Wu responded and then led Lin Jing out.

They retreated a great distance before Zhang Wu finally stopped.

From afar, the two of them watched the standoff between the two men in the arena.

The two men’s momentum was like rainbows, like two unparalleled swords facing each other.

Even though they were far away, Lin Jing could still clearly feel that suffocating pressure.

Perhaps it was because the two men’s momentum was too astonishing.

Before the two could make a move, from a distance, several figures were seen flying rapidly towards this side.

“Both of you, hold your hands for a moment!”

The voice arrived before the people.

This voice came from among those few figures, quickly reaching the ears of the two men who were confronting each other.

The two men turned their heads and saw those few figures, knowing that today, no matter what, they wouldn’t be able to start their fight.

Their momentum also thus receded.

Quickly.

These people swept past Lin Jing and hurried forward.

It was at this moment that Lin Jing realized among these few people, he recognized two of them.

One of them was Elder Wang, whom he met when he had just arrived at the Fang Market.

And the other.

Lin Jing was even more familiar with, it was Elder Qin who had given him specific instructions before he teleported away.

Without the need for further words,

These people were surely all elders from the top three Sects.

No wonder the Zhang Family Patriarch and the Wu Cai Immortal could not fight and reined in their power.

With the elders from the three Sects there, they were not likely to let them start a conflict.

“Come on, let’s go over too.”

Seeing that the two had calmed down, Zhang Wu led Lin Jing closer as well.

As they just arrived, they heard someone persuading:

“Both of you, why go to such lengths?”

“Can’t you discuss things amicably?”

“Why must you resort to violence?”

“Indeed…”

Another long-bearded elder echoed.

“Given the special circumstances now, if you have any conflicts, it’s best to show some restraint.”

At this point, Elder Wang also spoke up:

“I’m not sure why both of you are acting this way, we can help mediate and resolve your grievances.”

After Elder Wang finished speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch began to speak first:

“Actually, to tell the truth, it’s not a big deal.”

“I suppose you are all aware of the accident at the Liu Clan, and Wu Cai has been harboring resentment in his heart because of that incident.”

“It just so happened that today, he encountered a juniormost member who had a small grudge with Liu Yiyuan and wanted to take action against him.”

“This junior is the disciple of a close friend of mine, naturally, I couldn’t ignore it. I intended to intervene to stop it, but I didn’t expect to get drawn into the fire myself.”

“Junior…?”

The people then turned their heads to look at Lin Jing.

This junior was undoubtedly Lin Jing.

Seeing them looking towards him, Lin Jing stepped forward, bowed with clasped hands to the elders, and said:

“I am Lin Jing, I pay my respects to the elders…”

The elders nodded, and among them, Elder Qin looked at Lin Jing and said:

“It’s you…”

“Seeing you unharmed also puts my mind at ease.”

Lin Jing bowed again and expressed his gratitude to Elder Qin:

“I am also thankful for Elder Qin’s advice; following your instructions, I managed to avoid the Demonic Beasts and made my way here.”

Elder Qin nodded and praised Lin Jing first:

“For someone of your cultivation to make it through the dense forest of the Secret Realm is quite an accomplishment.”

Then he asked:

“The Immortal Chen Fan mentioned that this matter was because of you; what exactly happened?”

With Elder Qin present, Lin Jing didn’t need to worry anymore.

Because there were many things Elder Qin could testify to directly.

Lin Jing then began to speak,

“Elder Qin, this is what happened…”

And so,

Lin Jing recounted everything that had happened before.

After everyone heard him out, they also understood the situation.

At that moment,

Elder Wang spoke up to the Wu Cai Immortal:

“Wu Cai friend, we understand the kind of event your family experienced, and we know you are angry, but you can’t just blame a junior for this matter,” he said.

After hearing this, the Wu Cai Immortal stared coldly at Lin Jing and said,

“I have already inquired with quite a few people…

“This person had the intention to harm Yi Yuan in the Spirit Cleansing realm, and even if he’s not the murderer, he might know the one who is. A mere Soul Search will reveal everything.”

However, no sooner had the Wu Cai Immortal finished speaking than Elder Qin began speaking up in Lin Jing’s defense:

“I am aware of that incident in the Spirit Cleansing realm…”

“It was a junior from your Liu Clan who wanted to use the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants to harm Lin Jing. He was merely acting in self-defense, and he certainly didn’t harm Liu Yiyuan.”

“Thereafter, although there was some dispute between the two, it was quickly resolved.”

“It is even more unlikely that he was in collusion with Liu Yiyuan’s murderer.”

“The Teleportation Array we used at that time was random — one could not predict where one would come out, making it impossible to set up an ambush.”

“Even if two people were to teleport together, the chances of arriving at the same place are next to none.”

“Moreover, we teleported separately.”

“Not to mention his cultivation level…”

“Look at his cultivation; do you think he would be a match for Liu Yiyuan?”

“If I’m not mistaken, Liu Yiyuan was at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment…”

Elder Qin’s words received nods of agreement from everyone.

It was an obvious fact — with Lin Jing’s cultivation level, he was simply no match for Liu Yiyuan, let alone capable of killing him.

The Wu Cai Immortal, of course, also knew that Lin Jing was very likely not involved in this matter.

But whenever he saw Lin Jing, he would remember the pain Liu Yiyuan suffered because of him.

And it was for this reason that he wanted to take this opportunity to openly attack Lin Jing.

And incidentally, cripple him.

If the Wu Cai Immortal truly knew the truth,

he probably wouldn’t have dawdled and would have already attacked Lin Jing.

No one would be able to stop him.

…

At this time,

Elder Wang also spoke up to the Wu Cai Immortal:

“Wu Cai friend, hasn’t the murderer already been inflicted with your Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse? Look at this junior, does he have the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse on him?”

“If not, let’s put an end to this matter here.”

“And don’t mention Soul Searching again…”

After speaking, Elder Wang beckoned Lin Jing:

“Kid, come here, come to my side.”

Although puzzled, Lin Jing knew Elder Wang meant him no harm and directly went to Elder Wang’s side.

Then, Elder Wang addressed the Wu Cai Immortal once more:

“This junior was brought by Old Li. It wouldn’t look good on me if something happened to him.”

“Wu Cai friend, we all understand you are not in a good mood right now.”

“However, right now, the most important thing is to find the culprit who has been hit with the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse. When the time comes, we will also keep a lookout for you.”

“Please stop causing trouble, otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to justify this to our sects.”

After finishing,

Elder Wang’s eyes flashed with sharpness as he stared at the Wu Cai Immortal.

Elder Wang’s words could already be considered a threat.

After all,

the three major sects were managing this Demon Race Secret Realm.

For the Wu Cai Immortal to arbitrarily demand a Soul Search, disregarding the authority of the three major sects, was simply unacceptable.

Keep in mind,

at this time,

everyone entering the Demon Race Secret Realm had some relationship with the three major sects.

How could they allow the Wu Cai Immortal to act recklessly?

After hearing this, the Wu Cai Immortal first remained silent for a while, then nodded in agreement.

In fact, as soon as the Zhang Family Patriarch arrived, he knew that he was no longer able to lay a hand on Lin Jing.

Moreover, with the elders of the three major sects behind him,

and without any evidence to prove Lin Jing was the killer of Liu Yiyuan, he naturally could not proceed with the Soul Search.

Besides, with the elders of the three major sects present, he had no choice but to compromise, even if he was reluctant.

The Wu Cai Immortal chose to compromise.

And with that, the matter was settled.

Afterward,

the Wu Cai Immortal left to continue searching for that ‘hidden murderer.’
