Lin Chuan stood up, stretched, and lightly kicked Shi Yan.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you..." Shi Yan groaned, breathing heavily, and seemed to use up all his strength to speak a word.
"I have never seen someone before. Your pitiful appearance before was not an act. Acting against your will is a taboo for high-level spiritual masters. Since you are greedy for life, you will naturally not ruin your future."
Lin Chuan spoke calmly and rubbed his stiff cheeks. He hadn't slept for two nights. Even the spiritual master couldn't bear it.
After hearing this, Shi Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him again. He looked like he was only twenty years old, but his words sounded like an old man who had lived for a long time.
His words were confident but not unruly, his actions were decisive and immediate, and Shi Yan felt a sense of security that he had never felt before.
He had bet his life on this young man's hands that night. The night of inhuman torture had drastically reduced his pain perception. Now his whole body was numb. Only his warm heartbeat proved that he was still alive and that he was alive.
The bet was right.
"Good boy... No wonder Master Jin Yao asked me to come and get you."
Lin Chuan was startled by Shi Yan's unprovoked words. He suddenly turned to look at Shi Yan and blurted out, "You mean, the Lord of the Seven Stars sent you to arrest me?"
Shi Yan squeezed his eyes and remained noncommittal.
"Then do you know the reason?" Lin Chuan calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
Shi Yan propped himself up with one arm, his arms trembling slightly, and finally sat up. He took a breath, shook his head and said: "I never asked, and even if I asked, I guess the old guy wouldn't tell."
Lin Chuan carefully observed the changes in Shi Yan's expression and saw that his lips were white and he looked like his body had been hollowed out. He was sure that he was telling the truth.
"The fluctuation of spiritual power when you took action was at least above the Earth Spirit Realm. Even if you are seriously injured, you still look like this." Lin Chuan frowned. With Shi Yan's appearance, Lin Chuan could even kill him.
No need for a sneak attack.
Shi Yan smiled bitterly, his dark face turned earthy due to weakness. His originally middle-aged appearance now looked at least ten years older. He coughed twice and said: "Young master, you don't know. My body has been damaged due to my practice of martial arts."
It's different from ordinary people, their blood vessels are messy, and a single move affects the whole body, tearing off my left arm, almost killing me, and the injury to my back is even more dangerous."
"When the two factors are added together, all the blood in my body will be cut off and my blood will be depleted. I will definitely die. Fortunately, God will not kill me, and the young master will drag me back from the underworld." Shi Yan said and kowtowed towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then chatted with Shi Yan for a while, gaining a general understanding of him.
"Young master said something before, and he said it was not meant for me. There is no one else here. May I ask who it was meant for?" Shi Yan was still a little worried about Lin Chuan's previous strange behavior.
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in deep thought: "Oh... that's because my consciousness has not fully awakened, and I was talking to the person in the dream."
In order not to give Shi Yan time to think, he immediately changed the subject and said: "How many guests like you are there in the Five Dynasties Jin Yao?"
Shi Yan smiled bitterly again: "There were originally five people, but now I think I am the only one left."
The two fell into silence for a while.
Lin Chuan was thinking about how to kill the Lord of the Seven Stars, the instigator.
Shi Yan seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "The guest is gone, but there are three disciples beside the old guy. All three of them are in the Earth Spirit Realm. The most powerful one is undoubtedly the eldest disciple. It is said that he is on the Earth Ranking.
His ranking is pretty high, and with my strength I probably can’t even beat the weakest one..."
Shi Yan's implication was to remind Lin Chuan not to provoke the Lord of the Seven Stars, as it might be self-defeating, because he saw the murderous intent in Lin Chuan's eyes.
Lin Chuan was naturally not stupid enough to confront the Lord of the Seven Stars. Looking at Shi Yan's nervous look, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. It seemed that this old boy was quite loyal to him.
"Don't worry, I'll just go back to the Valley alone. It's better to forget about your appearance and find a place to stay and recuperate. We'll see you again when the time comes!"
Lin Chuan turned around and walked away, waving his hand behind him.
