Chapter 167 Seizing the Pearl
The two disciples whose names were called hesitated visibly. One of them stepped forward and said to Lin Xiu:
“Senior Brother Lin Xiu, although Ling Feng is part of Senior Brother’s group during this training, he is ultimately a member of our Tian Ce Palace. Treating Ling Feng this way will inevitably damage our relationship.”
"Furthermore, senior brother, you've forgotten that during this training, elders will be secretly monitoring you throughout. If the elders see you acting this way, it might be inappropriate. Please reconsider, senior brother."
Lin Xiu was even more furious after hearing these words: "What do you mean by 'three thoughts'? Just bring Ling Feng here for questioning, I won't do anything to him!"
"My father is with the elders! I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of! Go now!"
Although the two disciples felt something was amiss, they had no choice but to obey and step forward to tie Ling Feng up.
At this moment, Ling Feng, who had been motionless, suddenly made a move, injuring the two unsuspecting disciples to the ground, leaving them unable to get up for a while!
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but shout, "What a waste! You can't even catch a single person!" After saying that, he got up, intending to capture Ling Feng himself.
The two exchanged blows. Originally, Ling Feng's cultivation level was not necessarily lower than Lin Xiu's. However, his arms had been injured by Bai Ke and he could not exert any force. After a few moves, Ling Feng was at a disadvantage.
At this moment, Lin Xiu seemed to notice Ling Feng's arm injury and began to attack Ling Feng's shoulder with every move. Before long, Ling Feng was subdued by him.
"Hmph! You ungrateful wretch, you dare to oppose me?" "You two, come here and search him. See if there are any letters or intelligence!"
Lin Xiu stood in front of Ling Feng, who was lying on the ground, and looked down at the two disciples who had just gotten up.
After saying that, Lin Xiu sat back down on the big rock and leisurely watched the scene before him.
At this moment, Ling Feng was seriously injured by Lin Xiu, and his cultivation had just been restricted by Lin Xiu. He was now powerless to fight back and could only let the two disciples search him.
Only then did the two disciples see Ling Feng's face clearly, and they cried out in surprise, "Ah!" Lin Xiu was startled by the sound and asked impatiently, "What is it now! Why are you shouting like that? Did you find something?"
The two disciples were so frightened that their legs went weak and they sat down on the ground. Turning back, they scrambled back as they looked at Lin Xiu with terrified expressions and said:
"Senior Brother Lin... Lin Xiu, that... Ling Feng's eyes have turned red! It's terrifying!"
Lin Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this, then stood up and walked to Ling Feng. After looking at him for a while, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Hahaha, I never expected Ling Feng to turn into such a grotesque creature. Why are you behaving so strangely? Do you still recognize me? Hmm?"
"What are you two doing? You've scared me like this! Get out of the way!" Lin Xiu had been spoiled by servants since he was a child in Tian Ce Palace, which had given him a bad temper.
Having come out for training this time without any servants to attend to him, he inadvertently adopted the same attitude he usually had towards his attendants when dealing with the disciples of the Tian Ce Palace beside him, acting arrogantly and domineeringly.
Little did he know that most of his disciples had grown tired of his behavior and were no longer loyal to him; only a few who regularly followed him remained faithful.
After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he began to search Ling Feng himself, almost stripping him naked. Suddenly, he felt something hard and protruding in Ling Feng's inner garment.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bead about the size of a quail egg, emitting a dark red glow.
Lin Xiu examined the bead carefully, but couldn't see anything unusual about it for a long time. Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Lin Xiu turned his head and saw that the leader of the group of people who had come was Bai Ke!
He was surprised by Bai Ke and his group's speed; they had arrived at the Netherworld Beast Forest so quickly, he had thought they were still on their way and had been delayed.
But how did they get here? Shouldn't they be in Moyun Kingdom?
Despite thinking this, he didn't show it on his face. He called out to Bai Ke and his group, "Oh! Who do we have here!"
"So it's our senior brother! But what brings you to the Netherworld Beast Forest instead of Moyun Kingdom? Could it be that you've already forgotten what fortune you drew?"
"Hehe, Junior Brother Lin is joking. It's just that during our mission, Junior Brother Ling Feng acted on his own initiative and disobeyed orders, which led to an accident."
He became unrecognizable, his appearance changed drastically, and he ended up like this. Later, after failing to ambush his fellow disciples, he escaped and ended up here, which is why I led a few disciples to chase him here.”
"Looks like Junior Brother Lin and your friends have just arrived at the Netherworld Beast Forest? Tsk tsk tsk... This speed is truly laughable."
"But I don't think so. Junior Brother Lin's cultivation is so high, how could he have only arrived now? Could it be... Junior Brother Lin, are you going easy on me?" Bai Ke looked at Lin Xiu and said with a provocative expression.
"Bai Ke, you... fine, I won't waste my breath arguing with Senior Brother here. Since Ling Feng is here, then take him with you and leave. Don't interfere with my men carrying out their mission here."
After saying that, he didn't want to look at Bai Ke anymore and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Ke standing in front of him again, blocking his way. Suppressing his anger and displeasure, he said:
"What? Senior Brother, is there something else? If you continue to obstruct my work like this, I will have no choice but to go back and have a good talk with the sect leader."
"Heh, I don't have time to play with you, much less to watch you make a fool of yourself. But, this bead, isn't it yours?" As she spoke, she lowered her head to look at the bead in Lin Xiu's hand.
"This bead is mine! What? You're going to try and take it away?" Lin Xiu had a smug look on his face.
"Yours? I had no idea you had such a bead?"
"When our senior brother was in Tian Ce Palace, he was always busy with something. How could he have time to care about us fellow disciples?"
"Besides, what business is it of yours when I got an extra bead?" Lin Xiu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Bai Ke chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You say it's yours? But... I and everyone else here only saw you steal it."
"Of course your people will speak up for you. Are you trying to force a confession out of you?"
"Fine, since you're talking about my people, then I'll ask those so-called 'your people'."
He then walked over to the two disciples who had just been with Lin Xiu, and stared at one of them, asking:
"I ask you, where did your senior brother Lin Xiu get that bead from?"
"I..." The disciple hesitated, then hesitated again. After seeing the warning look from Lin Xiu, he suddenly wanted to say something.
But when he looked up and met Bai Ke's eyes, which were fixed on him, he inexplicably swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Those eyes were so deep and unfathomable that they seemed capable of sucking you in at any moment.
His eyes were as black and shiny as the finest black gemstones in the world, or like a bottomless ancient well.
