Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 402 - 102 Soul Search

Chapter 402: Chapter 102 Soul Search

As they neared Black Xing Island, the number of people increased, especially near the island itself. The cultivators were coming and going in an endless stream.

Lin Jing controlled his sword, skimming rapidly over the sea, and was about to arrive at Black Xing Island…

But at that moment, Lin Jing suddenly came to a halt, his eyes flashing with a trace of cold light.

Because.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, he had detected two people.

Two people Lin Jing had been longing to find…

These two were the very middle-aged cultivators Lin Jing had learned had kidnapped Lin Jue.

Right after, Lin Jing’s thoughts moved, and he controlled his sword, flying straight towards the two cultivators.

……

At this time, on a piece of sea not far from Black Xing Island, two middle-aged cultivators were flying on their swords while conversing.

One of them spoke to the other, saying:

“Brother Li…”

“Do you think, after we sold Lin Jue, that Golden Core Cultivator who came to Bihai City last time will come back to trouble us?”

The cultivator surnamed Li looked disdainful as he replied:

“Do you really think he will come back?”

“Haven’t you considered how many years have passed?”

“Has he shown up even once?”

“Perhaps he has long since met his demise in some perilous Secret Realm.”

“Rest assured, he definitely won’t come back.”

“But I still feel uneasy…” the first cultivator to speak said, his face laden with worry.

The cultivator surnamed Li tried to comfort him:

“You, you think too much…”

“Even if he isn’t dead, so what?”

“The fact that he was willing to help Lin Jue back then must be because he coveted the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass that boy possessed.”

“Now that he’s got the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, how could he possibly still care about a little brat like Lin Jue…”

Yet, the first to speak still frowned deeply.

The cultivator surnamed Li could only shake his head helplessly, saying:

“You really…”

“Just scare yourself over nothing.”

“What’s there to fear? Don’t forget, we are now working for the Black Shark Gang. If he dares to attack us, that would mean going against the Black Shark Gang…”

“You’re just too sensitive…”

“Maybe…” the other replied, his brow still furrowed.

Actually, the reason he asked was that, starting from a short while ago, he had been restless, feeling as if some life-threatening crisis was about to occur.

But recalling how both he and Brother Li had joined the Black Shark Gang and were now peripheral members, he felt somewhat relieved.

After all, the Black Shark Gang was no ordinary force; within the whole maritime region, they were extremely notorious.

Even if the other person was a Golden Core Cultivator, he too would have to bow down in the face of the Black Shark Gang.

Thus, he comforted himself inwardly and then continued flying towards Bihai City with Brother Li…

……

However, they had not flown far when an overwhelming Divine Sense pressure suddenly enveloped them.

The two exchanged glances, sensing something was amiss…

In each other’s eyes, they saw fear and panic.

The two did not understand which senior they had inadvertently provoked, as the pressure of this Divine Sense was bearing down on them even though the person hadn’t even arrived yet.

Clearly, this ‘senior’ was specifically targeting them.

Before they could think any further, a figure swiftly appeared before them.

The arrival of this figure brought an even more intense pressure, and the two were so overpowered they couldn’t even lift their heads.

They could even feel the barely contained rage within this terrifying pressure…

Their hearts skipped a beat.

The cultivator surnamed Li promptly spoke up, saying:

“Senior…”

“We are unaware of any offence we might have caused senior, please enlighten us…”

At that moment, the two dared not even lift their heads.

However, a voice from above soon made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cavern.

“Where is Lin Jue…”

This voice came over, and the two were stunned for a moment, quickly recalling that nightmare that had haunted them for a long period.

In the end, it was a Golden Core Cultivator from the Black Shark Gang who had taken action, curing them of this nightmare and recruiting them as peripheral members of the gang to help collect boys and girls who were without any backing.

It was then that the two learned that someone had manipulated them.

And that ‘senior’ who had manipulated them was now standing right in front of them.

They had thought this ‘senior’ would never appear again, even mentioning him just a little while ago.

But unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour’s time, he had reappeared before them.

Upon realizing it was that ‘senior,’ the cultivator surnamed Li hastily said:

“Senior…”

“Ever since being reprimanded by senior last time, we brothers have not troubled Lin Jue again…”

Yet as soon as he finished his sentence, he felt the pressure from in front of him growing stronger, and he could distinctly sense the seething anger within it.

Lowering his head, the cultivator surnamed Li didn’t dare to look up at Lin Jing, but his mind raced…

In Bihai City, the two truly didn’t take any actions that were detrimental to Lin Jue. Instead, they lured Lin Jue away before proceeding with their plans.

And this plan had only been discussed between the two of them privately; aside from themselves, there was not a third person who knew about it.

Thinking of this, the monk surnamed Li immediately cupped his hands in salute and said to Lin Jing,

“Really, senior…”

“Many people within Fang Market can testify to this matter.”

However, the explanation given by the monk surnamed Li did not reduce Lin Jing’s rage. On the contrary, it brought an even stronger pressure of Divine Sense.

Under this pressure, the monk surnamed Li could see that he was about to collapse…

But just then, suddenly, the pressure on him lightened significantly, yet before he could feel relieved,

He heard Lin Jing’s voice again:

“Did you really think that no one knew about what you did?”

“And do you know, in Bihai City Fang Market, there is a know-it-all…”

As soon as they heard the three words ‘know-it-all’, the two of them were greatly startled and turned pale in an instant.

The name of the know-it-all was indeed something they had heard before, but they were not familiar with the know-it-all, nor did they understand his capabilities.

Now it seemed that all of their actions had already been exposed under the eyes of the know-it-all.

And the absurd thing was, the monk surnamed Li even attempted to conceal it from Lin Jing…

Seeing that there was no hiding it from Lin Jing, the monk surnamed Li hastily bowed and clasped his hands, saying to Lin Jing:

“Senior…”

“Our actions were actually under the orders of the Black Shark Gang, it was the Black Shark Gang who instructed us to do this. We hope that senior will consider the Black Shark Gang’s face and spare the two of us.”

“We will take you to Black Xing Island right away and help senior bring Lin Jue back.”

However, Lin Jing simply uttered indifferently:

“No need…”

While the two were still in shock,

Lin Jing suddenly vanished, reappearing in the blink of an eye right in front of the monk surnamed Li.

Afterward, Lin Jing extended his hand, reaching towards the head of the monk surnamed Li.

The monk surnamed Li looked up and saw the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Jing’s hand, and he instantly realized what was happening and cried out in alarm:

“Soul Search…”

Then, he hurriedly tried to retreat in terror, only to find that at some point he had been controlled by countless streams of Wǔ Cǎi light, and now he couldn’t move at all.

At this moment, the monk surnamed Li urgently said:

“Senior…”

“We are men of the Black Shark Gang. Aren’t you afraid of offending the Black Shark Gang by treating us this way?”

However, the words of the monk surnamed Li did not slow Lin Jing’s movements in the slightest.

The monk surnamed Li watched helplessly as the hand descended towards his head, the fear spreading to every part of his body.

The monk surnamed Li then begged for mercy:

“Senior…”

“Please spare us this once; we will never dare again. I can swear an oath on my Soul Spirit, truly…”

“Please spare us…”

However, Lin Jing appeared not to have heard the monk surnamed Li’s words, and without any hesitation, placed his palm on the man’s crown.

And he activated his Divine Sense, probing towards the man’s sea of consciousness…

As soon as Lin Jing’s Divine Sense entered the man’s sea of consciousness, immediately excruciating pain coursed through his mind, as if thousands of needles had been thrust into it, causing him to emit a series of blood-curdling screams:

“Ah…”

“You are so ruthless, one day, someone will treat you in the exact same way…”

But…

Lin Jing did not pay heed to the man’s words but carefully controlled his Divine Sense, meticulously searching through the memories in the man’s sea of consciousness.

The Soul Search process is not something ordinary people can endure, and the slightest carelessness could cause the man to succumb to the pain, leading to soul disorder and turning him into an idiot.

And Lin Jing had no sympathy for this man, so while searching through his memories, he did not consider his feelings, and the whole process was even rather rough.

As a result, throughout the process, the monk surnamed Li continuously screamed in agony.

And the other cultivator, who had already been controlled by Lin Jing, could only watch with wide eyes, full of horror, as the scene unfolded before him…

It wasn’t until a long while later that Lin Jing finally retrieved the information he wanted from the man’s sea of consciousness.

It was after the Soul Search was completed that Lin Jing learned that the monk surnamed Li had indeed not lied; they had really pledged allegiance to the Black Shark Gang, becoming peripheral members of the gang.

Moreover, the methods Lin Jing had previously used on them had been removed by someone from the Black Shark Gang.

Apart from that, Lin Jing also found out from the memories of the monk surnamed Li about the whereabouts of Lin Jue and the dusky-skinned youth.

Both had been captured by them and sold to the Black Shark Gang.

The Black Shark Gang had always been engaged in such dealings, utilising some peripheral members to capture youngsters and other lower-tier cultivators for trade.

These two people were recently recruited peripheral members of the Black Shark Gang.

Knowing Lin Jue’s whereabouts, Lin Jing would certainly find a way to rescue him.

At this moment, upon looking at the monk surnamed Li who had undergone the Soul Search, his eyes were lifeless and his entire being had become dull.

Lin Jing merely glanced at him, then with a wave of his hand, countless streams of Wǔ Cǎi light surged into his body and subsequently exploded within…

As the Wǔ Cǎi light exploded, the body of the monk surnamed Li was slowly consumed by the light, eventually leaving not even a speck of residue behind, completely vanishing into thin air.

Having dealt with the monk surnamed Li, only the other person, full of horror, remained.

Then, Lin Jing released his control over this person.

The person, still in a state of fright, paused for a moment before trying to flee desperately.

But his speed, in front of Lin Jing, really was like that of an ant.

With a simple wave of his hand, Lin Jing sent a stream of Wǔ Cǎi light shooting out, chasing after the middle-aged cultivator at a tremendous speed.

In no time at all, the Wǔ Cǎi light entered the body of the middle-aged cultivator.

Suddenly, the middle-aged cultivator lost all vitality, falling straight from the sky and plunging into the sea.

Following this, the two had fallen…
