Chapter 45: The Golden Core Appears
Translator: 549690339
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s complexion was ashen. Seeing the Fla Poison Centipede drawing nearer and nearer, he cried out urgently:
“Elder Ancestor, save …”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice ca:
“Evil creature, dare not harm a person!”
The voice, like the booming of a Huang Lu bell, echoed through the heavens, shaking one’s eardrums to the point of piercing.
Imdiately after, a figure emanating a five-colored light flew out from the depths of Fang Market.
Seeing this figure, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s expression turned to one of excitent. He quickly flew to the person’s side and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator bowed and said, “Elder Ancestor, please strike down this beast.”
The Fla Poison Centipede seed to sense that this person was not to be trifled with. It raised its head, hissing continuously, confronting the person but not daring to attack.
After a mont of standoff, the Fla Poison Centipede suddenly lashed out, initiating an attack.
“Evil creature seeking death…”
From the person, the five-colored light burst forth, transforming into a colorful streak, striking at the Fla Poison Centipede.
It was then that the crowd saw clearly that this person was a white-haired elder, and the five-color light turned out to be his Magical Treasure.
The colorful streak moved swiftly, instantly reaching the front of the Fla Poison Centipede and entering its head.
The Fla Poison Centipede imdiately let out a mournful scream, ceaselessly ramming its head against the ground while its body convulsed and thrashed, pounding the earth with thunderous noise.
Quite quickly,
The Fla Poison Centipede lay on the ground, motionless.
And the colorful streak, after piercing the head of the Fla Poison Centipede, flew back to the hand of the white-haired elder and disappeared from sight.
The crowd also ca to their senses, sowhat disbelieving. Had the Fla Poison Centipede just been slain like that?
When a Golden Core Cultivator acted, it was truly extraordinary.
Seeing the Fla Poison Centipede slain, the crowd that had previously scattered also returned.
“Many thanks to the Senior for assisting and slaying the Demonic Beast.”
As one person spoke up, others also echoed in turn: “Many thanks to the Senior, for intervening to save us.”
“Many thanks to the Senior.”
“I am deeply grateful to the Senior and shall never forget this kindness.”
Many gathered around the Golden Core Cultivator, incessantly flattering him.
Yet the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator stood beside the white-haired elder, smugly, as though he himself had slain the Fla Poison Centipede.
The crowd looked down on him for this. When he had been chased by the Fla Poison Centipede earlier, he had caused the death of not a few people.
Yet, because of this person’s relationship with the white-haired elder in the Golden Core Stage, the crowd did not say much.
“Elder Ancestor, wait a mont, I will go and retrieve the Demonic Beast Inner Core for you,” said the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator as he volunteered to stride towards the corpse of the Fla Poison Centipede.
Walking down the path, he even haughtily glanced at the crowd, but his arrogance aroused such disgust that nobody paid him any mind.
Reaching the head of the Fla Poison Centipede, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator found the wound left by the colorful streak and struck down with his sword.
The once tough shell of the Fla Poison Centipede was split open, and its flesh spilled out in a ssy heap.
It seed that upon death, the creature’s shell had lost its vitality and was no longer as hard.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator looked at the pile of flesh on the ground with a deeply furrowed brow and a look of distaste.
However, having already spoken, he could only suppress his disgust and reached into the Fla Poison Centipede’s head.
Before long, he pulled out a Demonic Beast Inner Core.
“Elder Ancestor, the inner core,” the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator said, holding up the inner core for the white-haired elder to see, yet utterly unaware of the small worm wriggling on the bloodied piece of the inner core.
“Yi Yuan, be careful,” warned the white-haired elder, his five-colored light reappearing as a streak again shooting towards the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
“What?”
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator looked baffled, then suddenly let out a scream of agony.
The tiny insect had already burrowed into his body.
Then he fell backward rigidly, but before he could hit the ground, the white-haired elder appeared behind him and caught him.
Next, the elder’s magical treasure, a stream of colored light, entered the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s body.
In just a mont, it forced the tiny insect out.
“Fla Poison Variant.”
The elder furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice.
After speaking, the elder waved his sleeve, and the massive body of the Fla Poison Centipede vanished in an instant.
Then, he took to the sky with the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, leaving the area.
Seeing the Golden Core elder depart, it wasn’t long before everyone else scattered as well.
With everything over, the people of Fang Market had not yet appeared.
They probably wouldn’t be coming now, and if they desired to seek an explanation from Fang Market, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
That night, the Fla Poison Centipede wreaked havoc, destroying a vast number of houses, and no less than a thousand people had died.
If it weren’t for Lin Jing’s quick thinking, the number of casualties would have probably included Ning Yue and Luo Luo as well.
When the Golden Core stage white-haired elder had arrived earlier, Lin Jing had stayed within the ruins and had not approached.
First of all, he bore a grudge against that Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Lin Jing’s cunning strategy to lead the disaster elsewhere had left that cultivator in a sorry state, and he nearly lost his life in the jaws of the Fla Poison Centipede.
It would definitely be a lie if that cultivator claid not to hate him.
Moreover, that cultivator was clearly the type to hold a grudge. Had Lin Jing approached, it was likely he would have been killed on the spot.
Furthermore, the relationship between the Golden Core stage white-haired elder and that Foundation Establishnt Cultivator was quite unusual, and it was unclear whether the elder had witnessed the events that had transpired earlier.
Lin Jing had even more reason to avoid contact.
After the two left, Lin Jing erged from the ruins and headed towards his ho.
When he saw his own house, Lin Jing could only laugh and cry; his own ho was also reduced to ruins. Standing on top of another pile of rubble nearby were Ning Yue and Luo Luo.
Seeing Lin Jing return, Luo Luo ran over to him and hugged his legs.
“Uncle Lin, I thought I’d never see you again.”
Luo Luo’s eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.
Lin Jing reached out to pick up Luo Luo, then wiped the tears from her face.
“Good Luo Luo, don’t cry…’
“Uncle is back now, isn’t he?”
“Yes… yes…” Luo Luo nodded through her tears.
At that mont, Ning Yue ca over and bowed to Lin Jing.
“Lin Daoyou, we owe you our lives. Please accept my gratitude.”
Lin Jing held Luo Luo with one hand and quickly helped Ning Yue to her feet with the other.
“Ning Daoyou, you are too kind. Please rise.”
“When we were in danger, you did not abandon , so naturally I could not disregard you,” Lin Jing said while helping Ning Yue up.
Seeing Lin Jing unhard, Ning Yue couldn’t help being curious and asked,
“Lin Daoyou, how did you escape from the jaws of the Fla Poison
Centipede?”
Lin Jing said indignantly,
“That Foundation Establishnt Cultivator was despicable, actually intending to use Luo Luo as bait to lure you, Ning Daoyou, to stop the Fla Poison Centipede.”
“Fortunately, earlier Wei gave a Teleportation Talisman, so I thought of a sche to lure the disaster elsewhere.”
“I first used the Five Thunder Talisman to attack the Fla Poison Centipede, attracting its hatred, then I used the Teleportation Talisman to escape from its mouth, and finally, I made it transfer its hatred onto that Foundation
Establishnt Cultivator.”
“So that’s what happened,” said Ning Yue.
“Uncle Lin, you’re so clever, that person is really too bad,” Luo Luo also chid in. Today, she was truly terrified, especially when she was grabbed by that Foundation Establishnt Cultivator and thrown toward the Fla Poison Centipede.
That feeling of helplessness and despair was unbearable, even just thinking about it.
“Tonight, undoubtedly many will find it hard to sleep,” said Ning Yue, sweeping her gaze around, expressing her lant..
