Chapter 1238: Cast a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish, Ye Jun Beaming with Spring Sunshine!

Lu Ding pressed forward directly.

Bypassing She Shilan, his speed reached its absolute peak. With a raise of his hand, one strike per person, immense force and heavy weight, each blow landing with perfect precision, but none of them were killed.

Was it because Lu Ding didn't want to?

Not at all!

These people, gathered together and rushing to this place, definitely had something going on.

Moreover, although earlier outside Thunder Roar Hall the crowd was vast as a sea, the moment the familiar face of She Shilan appeared, Lu Ding took notice. For a body at his level, hearing, sight, perception, even smell, all rivaled Divine Abilities and spells.

So.

The very moment Lu Ding first noticed She Shilan, he had also spotted that Ye Jun with the giant sword on his back, along with these few reckless nobodies who didn't know the height of the heavens, all gathered around She Shilan. They, were a group.

Just because Lu Ding couldn't find Ye Jun now didn't mean these people couldn't.

As long as he followed them, there was a chance he'd find Ye Jun, and that Linjiang Xian.

It was like using meat to lure hornets, and while the hornets feasted on the meat, tying a feather to their backs.

Follow them long enough, and you'd find the nest.

Then, wipe them all out in one fell swoop!!!

Bang bang bang bang......

One after another, the group hit the ground, without a shred of ability to resist, completely and utterly crushed!

An adult bullying children.

Right now, in the entire Thunder Roar Hall, only the Third Sovereign could barely be considered Lu Ding's match. Everyone else was complete trash!!

It was purely the relationship between prey and natural predator.

Lu Ding looked down from above with folded arms at the wounded, blood-vomiting crowd sprawled on the ground.

"A bunch of trash who know nothing but shouting, your abilities aren't even one-tenth of your mouths. Killing you would just dirty my hands. Go back and train properly."

Having said that.

Lu Ding did not linger. After displaying his devastating means and slaughtering all the demons in this place, he flew off, vanishing without a trace.

Leaving behind a silent, heavy atmosphere, the group still rooted in place.

One by one, they felt the injuries within their bodies, accompanied by waves of stabbing pain.

A blow!

An unimaginable blow. They were all geniuses, yet in front of Lu Ding, they couldn't even earn a single panel of fight scene. If this were written into a novel or storyteller's script, they wouldn't even qualify for a combat description.

A word or two would cover it.

Because they were all trash in Lu Ding's words, unworthy!

She Shilan wanted to step forward and help them up, but the moment she approached, they shoved her away.

"Get lost!!"

"Are you satisfied now!?"

"None of us died! But we were humiliated!!!"

"This is worse than being killed!!!"

"Get lost!!!"

The group helped each other to their feet. Every single one of them looked at She Shilan with venomous hatred.

They felt they could be weak, could be insufficiently strong, but they absolutely must not fear death, absolutely must not beg for mercy!

Yet She Shilan had begged Lu Ding.

Yet Lu Ding had let them go.

That meant She Shilan's pleading had worked!

This completely contradicted their principles!

They hated this!!

And they hated She Shilan!!

Watching the group continue pursuing the clues Ye Jun had left behind as they walked into the distance.

She Shilan stood still.

"Why........"

"If you can't win, why fight? Why blame me? He's not a bad person, he's..... hah......"

She knew Lu Ding's identity, but she couldn't say it. At least, before Lu Ding himself revealed his identity, She Shilan felt that this shouldn't be spoken.

Keeping another person's secret that they hadn't spoken aloud themselves, that was upbringing, after all Lu Ding had saved her.

She actually really wanted to say that Lu Ding is an immortal master of Lü Mountain, his principles are similar to ours, there's no need to fight to the death with him. And since there's no need to fight to the death, then as a weakling who offended a strong person, nodding your head a little, is that really so hard?

Moreover, Ye Jun, he..... was completely acting like he'd lost his mind, trying to save Linjiang Xian. That Linjiang Xian is a demon!!!

Shouldn't you blame Ye Jun for trying to save a demon?

Why blame me for saving you?

She Shilan didn't understand what was wrong with this world, what was wrong with her friends.

Saving a demon was fine, saving a person was wrong.

Saving a demon you've never even met, friends rush to help. But back when everyone first gathered together, it was for the sake of eradicating demons and defending the Way.

Why help a demon?!

She is a demon.

She Shilan stood there for a long, long time.

She seemed to understand Lu Ding's words.

Resolve!

She didn't have enough resolve!

These friends of hers, it seemed they didn't have enough resolve either!!

Eradicating demons and defending the Way, just a slogan. All of everything was just novelty, face.

No one could truly carry it through.

Even she herself was the same.

She Shilan's heart went cold.

Alone, she staggered away.

Perhaps, she would no longer obsess over eradicating demons and defending the Way. From now on, she would definitely live properly for herself.

At the same time.

Lu Ding followed the group in secret.

Traveling all the way, gradually closing in, to the place where Ye Jun was hidden.

At this moment.

Within a certain side hall, the cloth strip over Ye Jun's eyes was removed. He looked with complicated eyes at Linjiang Xian, who had already dressed and recovered her condition.

To prevent herself from feeling awkward, Linjiang Xian spoke up: "For the grace of saving my life, I have nothing to repay it with, save offering my body in return. My constitution is an innate power of Integration with the Way, emphasizing the union of yin and yang."

"I had originally thought that when I reached the point of no further advancement, I would find a Dao companion, and use my special constitution to breakthrough together."

"But now, time waits for no one."

"Young Master Ye, I've wronged you."

Ye Jun felt his cultivation and strength surging dramatically, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Moreover, Linjiang Xian's words sounded strange to him.

Drawing on the power within his body, Ye Jun broke through the restrictions on his person, stepped forward and pulled Linjiang Xian into his arms: "It's you who's been wronged."

The woman's face flushed red, but only for an instant. She pushed Ye Jun away: "Young Master Ye, let's pretend today never happened. I am a demon, you are human. This doomed affair, better to forget it here in Thunder Roar Hall."

"The two of us, each getting what they need."

Hearing these words, Ye Jun urgently tried to speak: "I......"

He had just made a sound.

When a voice came from outside: "Brother Ye, Brother Ye are you in there?"

Hearing the voice, Linjiang Xian hurriedly pushed Ye Jun away and shifted to the side, once again conjuring a veil to cover her face.

She even reminded him: "Clothes, your clothes."

Only then did Ye Jun snap to awareness that he was still naked. He hastily conjured a set of clothes for himself before answering: "I'm here!"

The people outside walked in.

Ye Jun walked out.

The two sides met.

The Ye Jun who should by all rights be wounded and bedraggled was instead beaming with spring sunshine.

The group who should by all rights be completely unharmed were instead each carrying injuries.

A stark contrast.

Truly, no one could have expected it.

That obedient and lovely girl, her face pale, was the Xiao Mei Ye Jun had mentioned earlier. She said: "Brother Ye, your... injuries?"

Ye Jun looked at them: "And your injuries are......."

One youth was injured more severely, a palm imprint sunken into his chest. He said haltingly: "We ran into Lu Ding. He's the one who hurt us."

Ye Jun's gaze swept across these friends. Every one who met his eyes nodded, agreeing with the youth's words.
