Chapter 2240: Qi

Nine Immortals Building?

Maybe it’s one of Nine Immortals Mountain’s branches here in East Mountain Province!

Lin Tian looked at the plaque on the old building and started guessing in secret.

After that.

He withdrew his gaze and let his eyes fall on the white-robed elder named Dong Quansheng.

This person.

Fake Core Realm Cultivation, aura extraordinary, his cultivation extremely deep and condensed.

Lin Tian sized him up, and couldn’t help showing a trace of surprise on his face.

Just his aura alone was stronger than that of many ordinary Fake Core Realm cultivators!

No wonder he could become an Elder of Nine Immortals Mountain!

The other people present, seeing Dong Quansheng being so polite to Lin Tian, all couldn’t help but show puzzled expressions.

The youth before them.

Looked only eighteen or nineteen at most.

For him to make Elder Dong this polite—could he be a Golden Core Ancestor?

Impossible!

A Golden Core Ancestor at such an age would absolutely cause a sensation throughout the entire East Mountain Province!

How could they not have heard of him.

Especially those two with Foundation Establishment Cultivation in the lead; their faces were filled with extreme confusion.

Nine Immortals Mountain was already one of the very, very top sects in all of East Mountain Province!

Those who had reached Foundation Establishment were basically all mid-level figures of the sect!

There was a lot of information they were supposed to know at least a bit of!

If there really was such a young Golden Core Ancestor, or some Golden Core old monster who kept his appearance at that of a youth, they’d definitely know!

“I know Nine Immortals Mountain, but this Nine Immortals Building—is it a branch of your sect?”

Lin Tian glanced over Dong Quansheng, then finally asked, puzzled.

“That’s right!”

Seeing Lin Tian not reveal his background or Dao name, Dong Quansheng frowned slightly, but still suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered.

Lin Tian showed a look of sudden understanding, then said, “I’m here just to take someone!”

Take someone?

The others here all widened their eyes.

They couldn’t help but turn their gazes to the injured Hong Shenhao.

Could it be that he was the one who injured him?

Many people couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.

If this youth in front of them wasn’t a Golden Core Cultivator, then at the very least he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and stronger than Hong Shenhao!

What background did this youth in front of them have?

Quite a few people’s expressions changed, their faces growing solemn.

“Elder Dong… he… he…”

The heavily injured Hong Shenhao, supported by someone, opened his mouth in a trembling panic, wanting to say something to Dong Quansheng.

However.

Dong Quansheng waved him off, and with a dark expression clasped his fists toward Lin Tian, saying, “Fellow Daoist, was it you who injured Steward Hong Shenhao?”

“You could say that…”

Lin Tian paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, “Hand him over to me and I’ll leave!”

As for Nine Immortals Mountain, things hadn’t yet reached the point where they had to kill each other on sight.

Besides.

Lin Tian didn’t really put Nine Immortals Mountain in his eyes.

Since this place wasn’t the sect of Nine Immortals Mountain, he couldn’t be bothered to linger!

If it were their main sect headquarters, there might be quite a few treasures; he could casually help himself to some!

From the looks of it now, there were no benefits to grab, so he might as well just take Hong Shenhao and leave!

But his words made Dong Quansheng’s expression grow even darker.

The others also looked extremely displeased, staring fixedly at Lin Tian.

However, with Dong Quansheng here, they didn’t dare open their mouths to berate him.

And as disciples of a Major Sect, they were even more rational and composed.

Before they had figured out the other party’s background, they would definitely not strike rashly.

Otherwise, if they offended someone they shouldn’t, that would be troublesome!

“Fellow Daoist, I won’t ask about your background!”

Dong Quansheng took a deep breath and said to Lin Tian in a low voice, “However, my Nine Immortals Mountain has never feared anyone or any force! If others bully us, my Nine Immortals Mountain will repay it a hundredfold in blood! You injured a cultivator of my Nine Immortals Mountain; here and now, this old man will make the decision—no questions about cause, no questions about reason, no questions about right or wrong! Since you injured him, you must have had your reasons, so I’ll apologize on his behalf! With that, can this matter be let go?”

At this moment, Dong Quansheng was extremely calm.

He understood that to be able to injure Hong Shenhao, the other’s strength couldn’t be weak, at least Mid-stage Foundation Establishment or above!

Especially since.

He had observed Lin Tian for quite a while, yet couldn’t sense any aura from the latter at all.

This made him uncertain and unwilling to strike rashly!

The higher one’s cultivation, the more cautious one became!

If at this moment he could be sure Lin Tian’s strength was inferior to his, he would have already struck in fury with a thunderous blow!

He wouldn’t be speaking so much like now!

Nor would he be bowing his head like this!

This was a critical time; he couldn’t afford to stir up trouble!

“Oh? No questions about cause or reason? Elder Dong, that’s quite the Major Sect stance you’re putting on!”

Lin Tian let out a soft sound of surprise, then the corners of his lips curled up as he smiled and said, “But, did it occur to you to ask if I’m willing to let it go? Speaking of reasons, this matter can’t just be brushed aside! He only needs to come along with me once, that’s all!”

These words made Dong Quansheng’s old face turn completely dark.

He let out a cold laugh and said, “Is it that you don’t know of my Nine Immortals Mountain? Or has my Nine Immortals Mountain been too quiet these past years, so the outside world has forgotten our might?”

“That I wouldn’t know! All you need to do is hand him over to me!”

Lin Tian shook his head and replied coldly, “Your mere Nine Immortals Mountain can’t suppress me!”

“Courting death!”

“Elder Dong, just capture and kill him directly!”

“So ignorant of what’s good for him—kill him!”

The others immediately flew into a rage, shouting one after another.

“Do it!”

This time, Dong Quansheng was extremely decisive and barked out the order directly.

The others’ auras exploded as they charged toward Lin Tian with a roar.

“Don’t…”

Hong Shenhao was utterly terrified now; even his speech trembled as he stammered, “He’s… he’s a Golden Core Senior…”

But Dong Quansheng didn’t hear him clearly and had already launched his attack on Lin Tian.

Bang, bang~

In an instant.

The Nine Immortals Mountain cultivators who moved first were all sent flying like sandbags, including those two Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Dong Quansheng, who was mid-attack, was shocked.

Lin Tian’s attacks were just too simple and brutal!

Each person got either a punch or a slap, and they were sent flying!

One after another, they landed heavily on the ground, grievously injured and unable to get up!

And in that instant, Lin Tian’s palm, filled with overwhelming Suppression, had already pressed down toward Dong Quansheng.

With a thunderous boom, Dong Quansheng was completely suppressed into the ground, smashing out a huge pit.

“Golden Core!”

The heavily injured, blood-spitting Dong Quansheng staggered up with all his might, his face full of terror.

“Elder Dong… he’s Golden Core…”

Hong Shenhao spoke again at this moment.

This time, Dong Quansheng heard him clearly.

“Either I take him with me, or… you all die!”

Lin Tian stepped forward, glaring coldly at the group as he barked.

He really couldn’t be bothered to start a bloody massacre with this lot.

“Senior… we are… we’re Nine Immortals Mountain…”

Hong Shenhao was scared out of his wits, stammering, trying to use Nine Immortals Mountain’s name to save his life.

But Lin Tian ignored him, grabbed him by the collar, and prepared to stride off.

Yet after dragging Hong Shenhao just a few steps, his face suddenly hardened.

Because his Divine Sense had detected an anomaly beneath the old building in front of him.

“Such dense Yin Qi! But… it’s a little strange! Below, there are coffins, and inside are things similar to zombies; they’re… a fusion of Yin Yang Qi?”

Lin Tian stopped, narrowed his eyes, turned back, and let his gaze fall on Dong Quansheng.
