"You guessed right, there is a Golden Core pinnacle, unfortunately, there’s no reward!"
Lin Shiming felt sowhat helpless about this; a Golden Core pinnacle peaking had not gone after Qingxuan Sect, but instead, was pursuing him!
Fortunately, they had already shaken off the two Heavenly Demon clones of Liu He True Person.
They did not have to worry about being encircled, they just needed to hurry towards Stone Ridge Cave!
He released his Divine Sense as much as possible and did not sense the presence of the Heavenly Demon True Person, which ant that the Heavenly Demon True Person was still so distance away from them.
That was one of the few pieces of good news.
...
Stone Ridge Cave, located in the Qingyun Mountain Range, had its Transmission Formation half activated. Several Lin Family cultivators were entering and leaving, checking everything, while the entire cave housing the Transmission Formation was brightly and coldly illuminated by Moonlight Stones.
Lin Xianzhi sat at the cave entrance, his eyes loosely fixed on the distance.
He took a deep breath. He had been standing guard here for five years!
He couldn’t help but resent his own lack of strength!
Steps echoed as they walked out.
Lin Shijie and Lin Houwei, followed by Lin Shizhong, appeared, bowing respectfully.
"Seven Great Uncle, the Transmission Formation has been thoroughly checked. All the Spirit Stones have been properly placed, with only a Superior Grade Spirit Stone needed to complete the setup," they reported.
Lin Xianzhi simply nodded, remaining silent, continuing to look ahead.
Lin Houwei bowed his head even lower.
At first, he hadn’t understood the severity of the situation, but as soon as Lin Xianzhi heard the news, he had imdiately arrived in Yunzhou, staying day and night in front of the Transmission Formation!
It was to ensure that the very instant Lin Shiming arrived, he could be transmitted to Shuangmu Island in the Southern Sea.
Even a Destruction Formation had been prepared; after this single use, the Transmission Formation would explode, and the corresponding formation on Shuangmu Island would be destroyed as well.
He was aware of the issues with the cultivation technique, and knew a part of Qingxuan Sect’s plot!
Even though he knew that Lin Shiming might encounter danger, as long as the Jade Slip didn’t shatter, they needed to wait here.
"Additionally, the Fifth Uncle still refuses to co!" Lin Shijie spoke again, his tone tinged with sorrow.
Most of the Lin Family cultivators had already retreated by now. Both mortals and cultivators had been partly relocated within the Spirit Talisman Sect’s territory, but these were re sacrifices.
For the Lin Family, it was an essential decision.
Most importantly, to avoid drawing attention, Lin Houyong, along with so of the older family mbers, still remained at Fangmu Mountain.
Most of them were cultivators of the ’Hou’ generation.
Many years had passed, and those of the ’Hou’ generation had reached the end of their lives.
They claid that only by passing away on ancestral lands could they better inform the deceased ancestors of the family’s rise back to the status of Purple Mansion Family.
"He truly lives up to the na of Family Head. Take good care of Lin Shiyuan!" Finally, Lin Xianzhi spoke.
His eyes too held sorrow, but such were the sacrifices that needed to be made.
The Lin Family needed to have cultivators stay at Fangmu Mountain, or else the location would be empty, and the Transmission Formation’s secret would be exposed, putting Lin Shiming in even greater danger.
Apart from the cultivators, many mortals in Yunzhou also remained; the attachnt to one’s holand is hard to abandon, true for cultivators, and even more for mortals!
...
Not far from Stone Ridge Cave’s Transmission Formation, standing behind a mountain peak, was a monk with yellow brows; he too stood behind the mountain, watching the formation with a smile on his face.
This man was none other than Huang i the Hermit.
The secret of the Star Body Refining Technique and the Profound Grade Secret Realm was within his grasp, and he could barely contain his joy.
Lin Shiming hiding in Qingxuan Mountain had left him with no options, but he knew that Lin Shiming must return to the Lin Family at so point, so he monitored the Lin Family day and night!
He had eventually discovered the Lin Family’s secret relocation and the sale of various assets. Appearances were deceiving: while it seed that they bought land within the Spirit Talisman Sect’s territory, the reality was that they had this Transmission Formation!
Even though he didn’t know where they were relocating to, he felt certain it must be the location of the Profound Grade Secret Realm.
And when he discovered that Lin Xianzhi was not dead and even possessed Purple Mansion cultivation, he had no doubt in his belief.
But as the secret map of the realm and the Star Body Refining Technique’s cultivation thod weren’t here, he had not made his move yet!
Otherwise, with his late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, even if all the Lin Family cultivators were present, they wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
...
"Fla Yang, Senior, turn south!" A red sword light streaked across the sky.
This was already the third direction change!
Of course, it was also the last one. Straight ahead lay Lingnan County’s Nanling Mountain.
Past Nanling Mountain, and flying a million miles ahead into Qingyun Mountain Range, they would reach the Transmission Formation!
Lin Shiming would finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The frequent changes of direction had also made it impossible for the Heavenly Demon True Person to arrange for other True Persons to intercept them.
And the speed of the Flaming Sword did not disappoint Lin Shiming; it still kept them tens of thousands of miles ahead of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Now, Lin Shiming could sense the Heavenly Demon True Person, but the latter’s aura was unstable.
He didn’t have the Fifth Rank Spirit Boat like Liu He True Person.
It seed he was also significantly injured.
"Could it be that Shen Ji True Person has found him again?" Lin Shiming couldn’t help but be filled with doubt.
Considering Shen Ji True Person’s vindictive nature, it was really possible he’d confront Liu He True Person, who was, in fact, an imposter of the Illusionary Demon True Person.
At this mont, Lin Shiming even felt that the Illusionary Demon True Person was more likely dead than alive.
But for him, it was actually a stroke of good luck.
Clearly, the Heavenly Demon True Person was not worried about Lin Shiming escaping while he was recuperating from injuries using millennium spirit milk. Experience tales at .Côm
Another half an hour passed, and the rocky landscape of Stone Ridge Cave and its tea-covered hills beca easily visible from above.
The mountain range housing the Transmission Formation was within the reach of Divine Sense.
Yet, at this mont, rather than feeling elation, Lin Shiming’s heart was filled with an uneasy foreboding!
This was not the style of the Heavenly Demon True Person, nor did it seem like the actions of a Golden Core pinnacle cultivator.
