Chapter 161 134 Han Li's Hometown
"I, Huang, still need to conduct transactions with the Three Talents Pavilion in the future, why would I deceive you out of the blue?"
The elder believed that no one would dare to oppose the Three Talents Pavilion, and also felt that 'Hall Master Huang' indeed had no motive to deceive him.
He immediately said, "Alright, you tell me, where is the Binding Immortal Rope kept?"
Tian Lin was about to speak when suddenly the wooden door of the Three Talents Pavilion was slammed open from the outside.
'Young Zhou Qing' then walked in from outside, staring at the elder and saying, "Elder You, you promised me you would avenge me."
The elder glared at 'Young Zhou Qing' and said, "When did I promise you? Stop talking nonsense."
At this moment, Tian Lin also got up from his seat, and although he had not seen Zhou Shoufan grown up, he guessed Zhou Shoufan's identity from the appearance of this 'young Zhou Qing' in front of him.
Looking at the young man in tattered clothes, as if he had crawled out of a beggar's pile, Tian Lin's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Is this, the old ancestor of the Heart Inquiry Sect?
"Zhou Shoufan—"
Tian Lin had just started talking when Zhou Shoufan across from him scolded, "Shut up, you lascivious thief, you deserve to die even more than that woman from the Tong Family."
Tian Lin's thoughts shifted, remembering that Zhou Qing once had a fiancée with the surname Tong.
He guessed that the woman from the Tong Family mentioned by Zhou Shoufan must be Zhou Qing's fiancée.
"Why would you want to kill me for no reason?"
Tian Lin knew that the Yao Yue Sect's ancestor had unclear relations with Zhou Qing's wife, and he also felt that the Yao Yue Sect's ancestor deserved to die.
But now, the 'Yao Yue Sect's ancestor' absolutely couldn't die.
"Elder You, what do you say? You accepted my Zhou family's token, you cannot deny knowing me now, can you?"
As soon as Zhou Shoufan finished speaking, Elder You immediately said to the man beside him, "Throw this little beast out!"
At his words, the man strode towards Zhou Shoufan.
Zhou Shoufan hurriedly drove his flying sword towards the man, but the man swatted away the flying sword with a flick of his hand.
Not only was Zhou Shoufan shocked, Tian Lin also looked at the man with a startled gaze.
Just as the man grabbed Zhou Shoufan, Elder You looked at Tian Lin with a smug smile, saying:
"Although this adopted son of mine isn't a genius with the Five Elements Spirit Root, the combination of his cultivated Golden True Qi and his family's Protective Divine Skill is quite formidable.
What's more precious is that he listens to me very well; anyone who offends me, he will kill."
Tian Lin understood the underlying meaning of Elder You's words and immediately said, "I assure you, I will not deceive Elder You—but I have a request, after obtaining the Binding Immortal Rope, I want half of the gains."
Elder You replied, "Don't worry, Hall Master Huang, once I hand over the Binding Immortal Rope, half of the reward obtained will definitely be given to Hall Master Huang."
Tian Lin said, "Since we've got the Binding Immortal Rope, we might as well keep it for ourselves, why bother handing it over?"
At this moment, the man broke Zhou Shoufan's limbs and threw him down a cliff through the window.
Elder You watched Zhou Shoufan's falling figure and said, "This child, merely at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, dared to offend me? Isn't this overestimating himself?"
Tian Lin did not speak, and Elder You added, "In this world, the most frightening thing is those who overestimate themselves. Tell me, the treasures involved with the Binding Immortal Rope, are they something you and I can swallow?
Brother Huang, we should know our own limits."
Tian Lin still refused to speak, and Elder You got a bit angry and said:
"Brother Huang, don't be ungrateful. You must know, only by handing over the Binding Immortal Rope to the Three Talents Pavilion will there be a chance to gather hundreds of Binding Immortal Ropes, and eventually find that Immortal Sword.
If we don't hand them over to the Three Talents Pavilion and keep them for ourselves, even if we kept them for a lifetime, we wouldn't have the chance to gather those hundreds of Binding Immortal Ropes."
By this time, Tian Lin finally understood that the Binding Immortal Rope was related to the secret of the 'Immortal Sword'.
"It's the Immortal Sword!"
Tian Lin frowny hesitantly said, "If it falls into our hands, would there be any place in this world we cannot go?"
Elder You laughed in exasperation, slamming the table and saying:
"You also know it's the Immortal Sword, how could it fall into the hands of Qi Refiners like us? Even if it could fall into our hands, could people like us really protect it?"
Tian Lin nodded, grinding his teeth and said, "Alright, I won't target the Immortal Sword anymore. However, there is one thing I've been puzzled about, please enlighten me."
Elder You now showed a trace of impatience on his face: "What do you want to ask?"
"I know the Binding Immortal Rope is used to find the Immortal Sword, but I just don't know what exactly is the connection between the Binding Immortal Rope and the Immortal Sword? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Elder You said, "I don't mind telling you, those three hundred Binding Immortal Ropes are actually tassels of the Immortal Sword. After the swordsman and the visitor from Central State battled, the tassels were knocked off and scattered in Cangzhou.
By gathering these tassels, you could sense the Immortal Sword that fell into Immortal Sinking Pond.
Brother Huang, you must understand, even those in the Nascent Soul Realm dare not easily traverse the Immortal Sinking Pond. So even if you and I really gathered all the Binding Immortal Ropes and collected all the tassels, we still cannot cross the Immortal Sinking Pond."
At this time, Tian Lin temporarily had nothing else to ask.
He said alright, then slapped his Storage Bag and pulled out the Binding Immortal Rope: "Elder You, here is the Binding Immortal Rope you wanted."
Elder You was startled, and both he and the man turned their gaze towards Tian Lin's hand.
But at that moment, the Binding Immortal Rope in Tian Lin's hand suddenly flew out like a snake, wrapping around the man next to Elder You.
The man, with all his formidable skills, was helpless against the Binding Immortal Rope.
Seizing this opportunity, Tian Lin used the Heart Inquiry Skill on Elder You.
Elder You 'wow' vomited blood, and collapsed to the ground.
Tian Lin furrowed his brows, knowing his Spiritual Sense had improved after Elder Xiao fed him Five Elements Dragon Spirit.
But he hadn't expected that after the improvement of his Spiritual Sense, using the Heart Inquiry Skill would be so effective.
He frowned, but it was just a fleeting moment. To avoid complications should Elder You awaken, Tian Lin directly beheaded Elder You with a sword.
At that moment, the man was still bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, completely unable to move.
Tian Lin stuffed a dirty rag into the man's mouth to stop his filthy words, then used the hilt of his sword to smash the man's teeth.
He was not in a hurry to kill this man, instead, he picked up the tea on the table and drank several mouthfuls.
This Qi Refining Tea indeed had the effect of condensing True Qi. Although Tian Lin did not feel his cultivation had improved, he felt the True Qi in his acupoints was concentrated somewhat.
"The Immortal Sword in the Immortal Sinking Pond is beyond my reach, but I must find the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Pool no matter what."
Thinking this, Tian Lin simply pulled out some books from the Three Talents Pavilion and began to read them.
The Three Talents Pavilion housed many documents, all of which were secrets from Pingyang County.
These secrets were incredibly valuable at the moment, but they were of no use to Tian Lin.
He did not know how long he had been reading, and he didn't find anything useful. Instead, the man on the ground began to struggle fiercely.
"Is it time?"
Tian Lin put down the book in his hand, stood up, and thrust his sword through the man's throat.
After he retrieved the Binding Immortal Rope, the illusion once again disappeared.
Over the following days, Tian Lin went through the memories of the Sect Ancestor of Yao Yue Sect in the illusion,
If Xiao Hong couldn't go, then it left only Brother Zhao and himself.
Unfortunately, Brother Zhao had developed a chronic ailment from his last outing, looking decrepit despite his young age.
If Elder Xiao were to send Brother Zhao, he feared Brother Zhao might just be delivering supplies to Han Yue.
Consequently, he had to turn to Tian Lin.
After all, Tian Lin was still the head disciple of Baihua Peak.
"That's settled then, disciple will depart tomorrow."
Quzhou—Tian Lin once promised Auntie Zhu that he would visit Han Li's hometown.
