"How is that possible? Weren't all three Spiritual dicines exhausted during our last hunt? How could they suddenly appear? Could it be that soone got ahead and snatched these three dicinal herbs?"
Lin Yi's heart was filled with shock, and with disbelief, he stared at the three Spiritual dicines in his hand, his mind went blank.
"Regardless, these three Spiritual dicines are very important to ; I must urgently send them back."
Lin Yi pondered in secret for a mont, then took out the three Spiritual dicines.
He was very clear in his heart that if these three Spiritual dicines were lost, his path of cultivation would also co to an absolute end, his Cultivation would no longer advance, and might even regress!
"I must hurry back to my sect and deliver these three Spiritual dicines to my master!"
Lin Yi's mind raced, and he imdiately ran outside.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly run off?"
Seeing Lin Yi suddenly running out, Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er were both stunned and asked in confusion.
"Zi Yan, Sister Qian'er, I'm sorry, I have to return to the sect imdiately. You two stay in the cave, don't co out lightly in case soone catches you!"
Lin Yi left these words behind and ran out imdiately, disappearing into the night.
Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er exchanged glances, both revealing a hint of confusion.
"Zi Yan, Sister Qian'er, what are you doing?"
Just then, a shout ca from outside the cave from Liu Yun.
Hearing Liu Yun's voice, both Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er's complexions changed slightly.
"Lin Yi shouldn't be in any trouble, right? Liu Yun is sinister and vicious, if they find out we've been secretly gathering these three Spiritual dicines, they definitely won't let us off."
Zhao Qian'er's face had a slight change as she whispered.
Zi Yan didn't speak, but she prayed in her heart that Lin Yi would be alright.
Although their interactions with Lin Yi weren't deep, from their encounter that night, she felt that Lin Yi was a person of kindness and passion, and they didn't want anything bad to happen to him!
Zi Yan's heart was filled with anxiety, wishing she could leave this mountain imdiately and return to Lin Yi's side to protect him.
"Zi Yan, Sister Qian'er, is there sothing wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Liu Yun, seeing the poor expressions on both Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er, asked with concern.
"Ah! Brother Liu Yun, it's nothing! We were just a bit tired just now, but we're fine now, let's continue gathering Spiritual dicine."
Zi Yan panicked for a mont, then imdiately cald down and smiled as she shook her head.
Zhao Qian'er also smiled and nodded; although she didn't know how much of Zi Yan's words were true, seeing Zi Yan act this way, she also echoed a few words.
"I see. Sisters Zi Yan and Qian'er, you've worked hard these days. Here are the three Spiritual dicines for you, take them and use them. Whether you can break through or not is up to you now."
After Liu Yun spoke, he handed the three Spiritual dicines over to Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er.
"This..."
Zi Yan and Zhao Qian'er both hesitated, unsure of what to do.
"Zi Yan, don't hesitate, these Spiritual dicines are for you, take them and use them."
Zhao Qian'er urged, not wanting to miss out on the three Spiritual dicines.
Zi Yan looked at Zhao Qian'er, seeing the longing in her eyes, and then nodded her head, smiling as she accepted the three Spiritual dicines.
"Alright, you two hurry up and use them. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the cave."
Liu Yun waved his hand and then left.
Zhao Qian'er and Zi Yan nodded at each other, promptly swallowed the Spiritual dicine, and began to cultivate to absorb its effects.
Seeing this, Lin Yi's heart slightly relaxed, and he too left the entrance of the cave, heading back in the direction of the Saint Demon Palace.
After Lin Yi returned to the Saint Demon Palace, he went straight to the residence of the ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace.
The ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace's dwelling was a separate building. Arriving there, Lin Yi discovered many attendant disciples standing outside, including an elder among them.
Inside the dwelling of the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor.
The ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace sat on a chair with his eyes closed, resting, while several disciples stood beside him. All these disciples had been participants in the previous trial, and among them were three who had been part of the group of attendant disciples attacked in the Saint Demon Mountain Range.
"Ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace, we were defeated by a kid nad Lin Yi. He has completely disgraced us, please administer punishnt!"
An attendant disciple said bitterly, looking at the ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace with resentnt.
The other attendant disciples also stared at the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor with indignation.
Previously, Lin Yi's cultivation had been weak, and the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor couldn't be bothered with him. But Lin Yi's cultivation increased manyfold all at once, causing them to lose face, and so these attendant disciples directed their ire at the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor, believing that it was his failure to discipline them properly that led to their great loss in the trial.
The ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace opened his eyes upon hearing this, and an indifferent and ruthless gaze swept over the attendant disciples.
A shock ran through the hearts of these attendant disciples, and an involuntary chill made their bodies tremble.
"Do you wish to seek death? You are not our disciples at the Saint Demon Palace, so why should we stand up for you, why should we seek justice for you! Hmph! If you wish to live, it would be best for you to avoid provoking that Lin Yi from now on. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you!"
The ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace gave a cold look to everyone, and his icy voice filled the room, causing everyone to shiver.
Hearing the words of the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor, the faces of the crowd changed repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your teachings, your protection, and your grace, Ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace!"
Everyone repeatedly bowed, expressing their gratitude to the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor.
"Hmm."
The ancestor of the Saint Demon Palace responded dispassionately and closed his eyes again, seemingly falling asleep.
Seeing this, everyone sighed helplessly in their hearts. Not knowing what else to say, they turned and left the dwelling of the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor.
After everyone had left, the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor slowly opened his eyes again, watching the backs of the departing people. A chilling cold smile erged on his lips, "Lin Yi, do you think that just because the trial is over, you can be safe? Hehe, too naive. I will make sure you understand what true despair is."
...
Lin Yi returned to the Saint Demon Palace and headed straight toward the dwelling of the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor.
He wanted to inquire about the elixirs from Liu Yun, but the instant he was about to enter the dwelling, he suddenly felt rigid, as if restrained by an invisible force. His legs seed to be locked in place and he was unable to move forward, forced to stay where he was.
"What's happening?"
Lin Yi was shocked.
Then, he heard a majestic voice enter his ears.
"Lin Yi, you have finally returned."
Hearing that voice, Lin Yi suddenly froze.
Turning his head, Lin Yi saw the Saint Demon Palace's ancestor standing outside the dwelling, looking extrely pale, with a stooped figure, as if he would collapse with the slightest breeze.
Moreover, the ancestor's body trembled as though enduring trendous pain; sweat poured down his forehead, and his face was pallid and bloodless, looking extrely weak, as if he were ill.
Seeing this, Lin Yi frowned, his expression becoming solemn.
