Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 366 - 67: The Enemy Attacks
Chapter 366: Chapter 67: The Enemy Attacks
At this moment,
Lin Jing couldn’t help but admire Yan Wanfei’s approach; whenever he had nothing to do before, he felt uneasy unless he took several turns around Li Yan City every day.
He responded to everyone’s greetings one by one.
Furthermore, Yan Wanfei didn’t feel tired at all.
Every time he walked the streets of Li Yan City, he strode with vigor and high spirits.
Just in that respect, he really couldn’t compare.
After leaving Li Yan City, Lin Jing didn’t go back to the hillock; instead, he headed straight for the southernmost sand beach of Li Yan Island.
The beach was vast, and sometimes when the tide went out, many fish and shrimps were stranded there.
And these fish and shrimps would become the sustenance for the commoners in the nearby villages.
These commoners, who couldn’t cultivate, lived in a cruel world of cultivation.
All day long they had to face those lofty cultivators; one moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.
How could that not be tragic?
But there was no help for it; that was just the way the world of cultivation was.
Not to mention commoners, even low-level cultivators lived the same way…
They toiled all day long, looking for ways to improve their cultivation, just to survive.
And when these low-level cultivators faced the higher-level ones, what difference was there from commoners?
Sometimes Lin Jing himself wondered, if he had become a commoner unable to cultivate when he had traversed to this world.
And,
without the system, what would his life be like now?
Would he be resenting the heavens for their unfairness?
Or would he accept his fate?
Or perhaps, he would have already met an untimely death, completely vanished into thin air…
…
…
Lin Jing stood on the beach, gazing at the vast sea in front of him, lost in thought…
He did not know how much time had passed.
The wandering Lin Jing suddenly woke up to an approaching aura.
Lin Jing frowned and then immediately unfolded his Divine Sense to probe; upon detecting the newcomers, he relaxed.
It turned out to be Lady Yue Qi, flying on her sword towards this place.
It didn’t take long for her to arrive at the beach where Lin Jing was.
Then Lady Yue Qi put away her Flying Sword and descended from the sky.
After landing, Lady Yue Qi came to Lin Jing’s side and took out a book from her Storage Bag, handing it to Lin Jing.
“Island Master Lin, the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique has been fully copied; please keep it safe…”
Lin Jing nodded and did not open the book for inspection, but directly put it away.
“You…”
Lin Jing was about to say something.
But suddenly his brows furrowed, and he stopped the words he was about to say, looking up towards the calm sea in the distance.
Lady Yue Qi, not understanding, also followed Lin Jing’s gaze toward the sea ahead.
However,
today the sea was calm and peaceful, and Lady Yue Qi saw nothing.
So she asked Lin Jing hastily,
“Island Master Lin, what’s the matter?” freewēbnoveℓ.com
Lin Jing did not turn his head, staring at the distant sea, and said in a low voice,
“Someone’s coming…”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Lady Yue Qi looked again toward the distant sea, but still saw nothing.
There was no helping it; her Divine Sense was much weaker than Lin Jing’s.
At this moment, Lin Jing turned to Yue Qi and said,
“They should be arriving soon, you should head back to the island first…”
“These people, I’m afraid they don’t come with good intentions…”
Lady Yue Qi was startled and said quickly,
“Could it be that someone is planning to attack Li Yan Island taking advantage of this situation?”
Lin Jing looked at the distant sea, contemplative,
“Possible…”
Lady Yue Qi then spoke,
“Then I can’t leave. If someone attacks Li Yan Island, I can help out here.”
Lin Jing looked at Lady Yue Qi’s resolute gaze and couldn’t help shaking his head, saying,
“You probably won’t be able to help…”
As Lin Jing spoke, Lady Yue Qi understood what he meant,
“Golden Core Cultivators!”
Lin Jing nodded, saying,
“Three Golden Cores, one Foundation Establishment…”
He sighed,
“Ah… never mind…”
“They’re here; just watch, I’ll take care of the rest.”
As Lin Jing spoke, a few figures had already appeared on the distant seashore.
Obviously, they had already arrived.
The reason Lin Jing was so confident,
was because the cultivation level of these three people was not very high.
The one leading them had reached the Fourth Rank of Golden Core.
And the other two, one had the same cultivation as Lin Jing, the first rank of Golden Core.
The other was a bit higher but had only reached the second rank of Golden Core.
Additionally, following them was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Since the last time, when Lin Jing had encountered Ghost Sage Qi and truly battled, he had gained a preliminary understanding of his own strength.
The one mid-Golden Core and two early-Golden Core cultivators in front of him were no match for him.
Moreover, Lin Jing now held an Array Plate that could control the great Formation of Li Yan Island.
This Formation of Li Yan Island was a Fourth Rank Killing Formation.
With their cultivation, trying to forcefully break through a Fourth Rank Killing Formation without paying a price, how could it be possible?
Unless, among them, there was a cultivator skilled in formations.
As the group drew closer, Lin Jing could see the faces of the people ahead.
The one at the front was a middle-aged cultivator in white, followed by two others.
These two had appearances younger than the cultivator in white, one fat and one thin, making a striking contrast.
Behind the three of them was a sinister-looking young man.

This time.
Yue Qi’s mother also recognized the few people, and her face changed immediately as she said to Lin Jing:
“Island Master Lin, these three people are the masters of three nearby islands on Yuxing Island.”
When she saw the young man behind the three, her expression worsened:
“Qi Yao, why has he followed them here?”
Seeing Yue Qi’s mother’s expression, Lin Jing quickly asked:
“What? You know that man?”
Yue Qi’s mother replied:
“Island Master Lin, that Qi Yao was originally one of ours from Li Yan Island. When Dai Mao was around, he sided with Dai Mao and strutted around all day.”
“And when you several island masters came to Li Yan Island to eradicate Dai Mao’s forces, Qi Yao happened to be absent, allowing him to escape the disaster.”
“I had thought he would run away and not dare to come back.”
“But now, not only has he returned, but he came back with the three island masters of Yuxing Island when the other three were unavailable. They must be prepared for sure.”
Having said that.
Yue Qi’s mother glanced back and continued:
“This Qi Yao has always been sneaky and exceptionally cautious. If he dares to come, he must be prepared.”
“Their timing is so precise; it seems there must be a spy within Li Yan Island.”
“A spy…” Lin Jing stroked his chin, pondering.
At this point, there was no need to be concerned about the matter of the spy.
After dealing with them, a thorough investigation could be conducted.
Speaking honestly, with Lin Jing’s current combat power, taking them out directly wouldn’t be much effort.
At this moment.
The group had already arrived outside the Fourth Rank Killing Formation in front of Flame Island.
The Golden Core mid-stage white-garbed cultivator started surveying Li Yan Island as soon as he arrived.
Upon seeing Lin Jing on the beach, he merely glanced over without paying further attention.
It was as if he regarded Lin Jing as nothing.
After he had looked around, he then spoke to the two people following him:
“Big Fat, Second Slim…”
“What do you two think of making Li Yan Island our new territory?”
The fat cultivator behind him immediately said:
“Big brother, good idea, I fully support it with both hands.”
And the skinny cultivator, his eyes filled with ill intent, stared straight at Yue Qi’s mother:
“He-he…”
“I heard that because of Dai Mao, there were no beauties left on Li Yan Island.”
“Now it seems that was all nonsense.”
“That one down there looks pretty good, doesn’t she?”
Yue Qi’s mother felt very uncomfortable under the skinny cultivator’s gaze, especially his remarks, which caused her eyebrows to furrow involuntarily.
At that moment, the fat cultivator slapped the skinny cultivator on the head.
“Look at you, with that kind of eye. Considering her appearance, she must be at least sixty or seventy years old. You act like you’ve never seen a woman before.”
However, the skinny one rubbed his head and retorted to the fat one:
“I like what I like, what about it…”
After speaking, the skinny cultivator looked towards Lin Jing:
“Hey kid, daring to stand next to the beauty I fancy, you deserve to die; I’ll kill you later.”
And the white-garbed cultivator in front glanced at Lin Jing indifferently, then spoke to himself:
“He’s just a Golden Core first-layer youngster, hardly worth such a fuss.”
“Second Slim, you really never improve.”
But the skinny one chuckled and said:
“Big brother, isn’t that because I have you?”
“Why do I need to improve when I can just follow you?”
“You…” The white-garbed cultivator shook his head helplessly.
Without getting angry at their comments, Lin Jing merely watched quietly.
Just then.
The white-garbed cultivator, looking down from above at Lin Jing, then spoke:
“Will you open the formation yourself, or should we break in?”
“If you’re sensible, you’ll open the formation voluntarily, and then we might spare your dog life. Otherwise…”
Right at that moment, the skinny cultivator added to the white-garbed cultivator’s words:
“Otherwise, yours truly will slice you in half with one blow.”
As he spoke, the skinny cultivator indeed produced a Big Saber Treasure, two zhang long, and brandished it towards Lin Jing.
The threat was very clear.
Then, the sinister-looking young man stepped forward,
Pointing at Lin Jing on the beach, he said to the leading white-garbed cultivator:
“Island Master, by the looks of him, he’s probably already scared witless by now. Let’s just break the formation.”
“Island Master, as soon as you start breaking the formation, my brothers on the island will start acting, and with internal and external coordination, this formation will be of no concern.”
The white-garbed cultivator nodded, then said:
“Good…”
“We really can’t delay any longer.”
Having said that, the scholar cultivator took several Array Flags and an Array Plate out of his Storage Bag.
Seeing this scene, the skinny cultivator became smug and said to Lin Jing below:
“Kid, your death will come when we break the formation.”
Then, the white-garbed cultivator said to the fat cultivator:
“Big Fat, after the formation is broken, you and Second Slim work together to kill him.”
“Be careful, don’t be careless and make mistakes.”
The fat cultivator nodded and responded:
“Don’t worry, boss.”
But the skinny cultivator seemed dissatisfied:
“Boss, I could do it alone…”
Upon hearing this, the white-garbed cultivator turned back and glared at the skinny cultivator, who immediately shut his mouth and said no more.
However, after a moment, he turned to the fat cultivator and said:
“We can do it together, but don’t compete with me for the beauty.”
The fat cultivator, annoyed, kept waving his hand:
“Fine, fine, all yours…”
“It’s not like anyone but you could want her…”
