Ling Wei drew her dagger and looked at Lin Jingge, who was lying on the ground like an ant. She felt a surge of satisfaction, kicked her hard, and then left with the old man.
She wasn't afraid of Lin Jingge living. Her spiritual root had already been extracted, and she had no chance to cultivate. She was like an ant. What difference would it make if she survived?
Could it be that she's afraid of a good-for-nothing?
Lin Jingge lay on the ground, blood trickling from the back of her hand. She was filled with resentment, but her life force was slowly fading away.
Her grandmother had already been harmed by Ling Wei, and now no one was protecting her anymore. She hadn't avenged her grandmother yet.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingge suddenly felt a strong will to survive.
Suddenly something bright appeared before her eyes. The pain emanating from her internal organs had already numbed her, making her unable to distinguish where the pain was coming from. She only felt that something ahead was drawing her forward.
Clenching his teeth, he slowly crawled forward, each movement causing him excruciating pain.
It seemed that few people came to Starry Forest. The small mounds on the ground and the thorns of the surrounding plants added new wounds to her already injured body.
She climbed for an unknown amount of time before finally reaching the glowing spot.
This is a deep pool, with glowing insects flying all around.
She suddenly plunged her head into the spring water and vigorously rubbed the blood off her face with her hands.
Lin Jingge frantically rubbed her face, ignoring the pain in her body, as if possessed.
Finally, exhausted, she rolled over, letting her long black hair soak in the water, and lay on her back on the ground, quietly waiting for death to come.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, so long that Lin Jingge thought she was already dead, a burst of noise came from the air.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.
The Obsidian Forest is dense with ancient trees and rarely sees the sun. Only here, because of a pool of water, can the sunlight reach her. Lin Jingge opened her eyes, sat up, and the butterfly on her face was startled and flew away.
Yesterday's events felt like a dream. Lin Jingge stretched her muscles and found that her body no longer ached.
Thinking of Granny Lin, she was suddenly startled and came to her senses.
His eyes immediately welled up with tears.
If she doesn't die today, she will definitely seek revenge on Ling Wei!
Just as Lin Jingge's mind was in turmoil, a voice came.
"Senior brother, there's someone ahead." A sweet, delicate female voice called out.
Hearing the sound, Lin Jingge looked up and saw a group of people walking towards her.
She narrowed her eyes slightly.
The people in front of me all looked familiar.
Upon seeing Lin Jingge's appearance, Lu Huaizhou, who was addressed as Senior Brother, was amazed. He stepped forward and asked, "We are disciples of the Yunding Sect. May I ask why you are here, young lady?"
Yunding Sect...
Lin Jingge's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the place that every spiritual cultivator in their Canglan Continent was desperate to get into?
He was initially puzzled as to why the others didn't recognize him, but then he realized that he had already removed the disguise from his face, so it was only natural that they didn't recognize him.
"I was being chased and fled here." Lin Jingge stood up from the ground, patting the filth off her clothes. "Where are you headed? Could you give me a ride?"
The Obsidian Forest is vast. Without a map and a guide, one could easily stray into the territory of a high-level magical beast and lose their life. If she wants to get out safely, she definitely needs someone to lead her.
Seeing Lin Jingge's disheveled appearance, Lu Huaizhou felt a pang of sympathy and was about to agree when the woman who had spoken first interrupted him, saying, "We are going to the Yunding Sect, so it's inconvenient to bring outsiders. You can go by yourself."
The woman, arrogant and domineering, stood between Lin Jingge and Lu Huaizhou. She was already regretting speaking up and letting her senior brother notice her. The beautiful woman in front of her gave her a strong sense of crisis.
Faced with the sudden hostility, Lin Jingge was puzzled. Being inexperienced in the ways of the world, her thoughts were directly reflected on her face.
Lin Jingge's eyes darkened slightly, and then she thought of a way to deal with it.
"Can't you really take me with you? I absolutely won't follow you once we're out of the forest." Lin Jingge's face showed a hint of grievance.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Lu Huaizhou tried to push away his junior sister Qingyu, who was blocking his way, but Qingyu didn't budge and refused outright.
"No, Senior Brother Lu, we can't take her. Have you forgotten the elder's instructions?!"
The teleportation array of the Cloud Cauldron Sect is located at the edge of the Obsidian Forest. It is equipped with an illusion array, and no one other than members of the Cloud Cauldron Sect is allowed to enter.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaizhou still couldn't bear to leave a girl here.
Seeing that Lu Huaizhou was really conflicted, Lin Jingge composed herself slightly and interrupted their conversation, asking, "Then how can I get you to take me with you?"
In Lu Huaizhou's eyes, this appearance transformed into a picture of beauty, strength, and misery.
A thought struck him, and he used force to push aside the blue fish blocking his way, then took out a black stone.
“We are here to recruit disciples for our sect. If you meet the entry requirements of my sect and join my Yunding Sect, you can travel with us.” He stretched out his hand, placed the black stone in his palm, and extended it to Lin Jingge. “This is a talent stone, used to test talent. Please place your hand on it.”
Lin Jingge looked at the stone in the other person's hand and felt a bit curious. The stone she had seen before was completely different from this one. She never expected that this small stone could be used for testing.
She raised her hand and saw that it was covered in mud. She hesitated for a moment, then wiped it off on her body before placing her uninjured hand on the black stone.
The chirping of bluefish kept coming to my ears.
"Senior Brother Lu, I don't think she has the talent. Let's not let her take the test. We should hurry up and get on our way. So many junior brothers and sisters are waiting to enter the sect!"
Her words were echoed by many of the newly accepted disciples from Canglan.
You should know that a large group of them went through layers of selection and risked their lives to have the opportunity to enter Yunding.
What merit or ability does this woman possess?!
However, they dared not show too much, after all, when the elder left, he had entrusted this Senior Brother Lu from Yunding with full responsibility.
If they offend the other party, they fear that the other party will not be polite and will remove them from the team.
Therefore, although she felt that what Senior Sister Qingyu said was right, she dared not show any other expression on her face.
Qingyu talked on and on, but couldn't change Lu Huaizhou's mind.
Lu Huaizhou ignored her words, condensed a wisp of spiritual power in his hand, and poured it into the talent stone.
Lin Jingge was seeing this little thing for the first time, and her face showed some curiosity.
Lin Jingge was a little confused when the talent stone, which had been infused with spiritual power by Lu Huaizhou, remained unresponsive for a long time, but she quickly realized what was going on.
Since this stone is a talent stone, it must be a test of one's talent in spiritual cultivation.
She suddenly remembered that her spiritual root had been dug out just last night!
Although the wound on the back of her hand, hidden under her sleeve, had healed, Lin Jingge could feel that it was empty inside.
