Thump!
A spirit monster fell to the ground. Its body twitched, and in the blink of an eye, it was dead.
Xie Jingsheng retracted his sword and looked around. He realized that the remaining spiritual monsters had been killed as well.
“Senior Brother Xie, how far are we from our destination?” A disciple from the lower courtyard wiped his sweat and asked.
Xie Jingsheng had already memorized the map by heart. He answered without thinking, “There’s still more than 15 km. We can reach it in two hours at most.” In fact, if not for the fact that there were many spiritual monsters along the way and they needed to stop from time to time to kill them, they would have long arrived at their destination.
Fortunately, the spirit cave would open tomorrow, so there was still plenty of time.
Except…
Thinking of Lin Shen, who had still not been heard from, Xie Jingsheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Not far away, Peng Junqin saw Xie Jingsheng’s expression and sneered inwardly.
To be honest, he didn’t know Lin Shen.
Although he had met the people from the academy before entering the spirit cave, he had never paid attention to that individual.
It wasn’t until they met up with the others and found out that Lin Shen had saved them that Peng Junqin became envious of Lin Shen.
Making comparisons could be the worst thing.
Lin Shen arrived during a crisis and saved everyone. It was an exceptionally stark contrast to Peng Junqin’s act of fleeing at the last minute.
While everyone despised Peng Junqin, they also praised Lin Shen.
Peng Junqin wasn’t an open-minded person. He had long secretly hated Lin Shen.
The idea of Lin Shen having probably been refined into a blood soul by Jiang Wanying made Peng Junqin especially happy. He also felt that his decision back then was very wise.
If he hadn’t run away when he saw that the situation was getting worse, he would have been killed just like Lin Shen was. How could he have stayed alive? “Sacrifice your life for justice? Bah, if you don’t even have your life, then what’s the point of seeking justice!” Peng Junqin sneered inwardly.
After resting for a while, they continued their journey toward their destination. In the crowd, Ai Jingting sighed worriedly and clenched the token in her hand. Although she knew very well that Lin Shen had not appeared for so many days and was probably doomed, she still held the last bit of hope that he might still be alive. These days, she had been holding the token close to her body, hoping that it would sense something.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed in the end.
Along the way, she sensed nothing from the token.
Letting out another long sigh, Ai Jingting composed herself and followed the group.
However, at this moment, the token in her palm trembled slightly, and she sensed something from it.
Ai Jingting was stunned for a moment. Then, as if she had just woken up from a dream, she let out a low cry and looked extremely surprised.
Everyone turned around when they heard the voice.
Xie Jingsheng thought that something had happened and hurriedly asked, “Junior Sister Ai, did you discover anything unusual?”
“The token is responding!” Ai Jingting exclaimed in surprise.
Xie Jingsheng was stunned for a moment before he quickly took out the token.
After sensing with rapt attention, he also looked pleasantly surprised.
The talisman only absorbed the aura of the academy’s disciples, which were the only people that it could sense.
As for the fourteen academy disciples who had entered the spirit cave, apart from those present, the rest had already died in battle. The only exception was Lin Shen, whose fate was unknown.
In other words, the only person who could make the token react was Lin Shen! “Junior Brother Lin is still alive!” Xie Jingsheng was overjoyed.
At this moment, the others also realized what that meant. The disciples of the academy and the inner sect disciple all looked extremely happy.
Only Peng Junqin’s expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth in secret.
Why was that kid so lucky?
He could even survive against Jiang Wanying?
Peng Junqin had used an extremely precious treasure and his trump card to escape from Jiang Wanying. He was still feeling sorry for it.
What method could Lin Shen, a disciple of the upper house, have to get rid of Jiang Wanying?
Peng Junqin couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He was both surprised and resentful.
However, at this moment, no one cared about Peng Junqin. After discovering that Lin Shen was still alive, Xie Jingsheng decisively turned around and led everyone toward Lin Shen’s direction.
About half an hour later, a cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky and was flying toward them.
As it got closer, everyone saw that it was a lifelike cloud dragon with its head raised and tail wagging.
And the person surrounded by the cloud dragon was none other than Lin Shen!
“It’s indeed Junior Brother Lin!”
Xie Jingsheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Ai Jingting was also relieved.
The girl relaxed, and a heartfelt smile blossomed on her face.
A moment later, Lin Shen landed leisurely and dispersed the cloud dragon. He glanced at everyone and nodded with a smile.
“Senior Brother Xie, I’m relieved to see that you’re all safe and sound.”
Xie Jingsheng walked forward with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly paused and sized Lin Shen up a few times. His eyes lit up. “Junior Brother Lin, have you forged a spirit meridian?”
Everyone was stunned. Only then did they carefully size up Lin Shen. Indeed, they realized that the latter’s aura was becoming more and more vigorous, and there was a faint hint of spirituality. It was the sign of the spirit meridian when it was just formed!
Seeing everyone’s shocked gazes, Lin Shen didn’t hide anything. He smiled calmly and said, “I was lucky enough to gain something these few days and was able to forge a spirit meridian. Therefore, 1 delayed for some time and only rushed over to meet up with you guys now.”
Even though they had already guessed it, when they heard Lin Shen admit it himself, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration and envy.
Forging a spirit meridian was the dream of all Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
Forging the first spirit meridian meant that one had one foot in the cultivator master stage!
