Chen Lin naturally didn't want to get close to the trapped remnant of You Luo, but since Zi Shu said so, it would probably not be easy for him to refuse.
After a pause, he said, "Lord Zi has the world in his heart, but I don't have that awareness. If you want me to take the risk alone, then please ask the beneficiary parties to give me enough benefits for me to risk my life, otherwise I will not agree.
As soon as he finished speaking, the monks behind him immediately refuted.
"My fellow Taoist is wrong. We are not the only ones who benefit. You will benefit as well. If it is really as Master Zi said, once the formation here is unbalanced and the evil creatures escape, you will also be affected. So you are doing things for yourself."
"That's right. You are doing this for yourself. How can you ask for benefits from others? And since you got first place in the assessment, you must have gained a lot of benefits when the soul was infused into your body. You can't be greedy!"
"That's right, you got the benefit of being first in the assessment, so this is your responsibility!"
These monks tried their best and used all kinds of moral blackmail, fearing that if Chen Lin refused, the task would fall on their heads.
Chen Lin looked unhappy, but remained unmoved.
He didn't want to be the sword-bearer in the first place, and asking for reward was just an excuse. If these people were unwilling to take it, it would just play into his hands, so he would just choose someone else.
The situation was at a stalemate.
However, the ball of thread was jumping more and more vigorously, and the strange aura it emitted was getting stronger and stronger.
No one knew what Zi was thinking, and she remained silent.
He didn't say anything, and Jin Yao, who followed his lead, didn't say anything either. The man on the Yunhai Sea looked at his nose with his eyes, and at his mouth with his nose, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Wu Xingma frowned and said, "What kind of reward do you need, fellow Daoist? Tell me about it."
Chen Lin glanced at the other party and said calmly, "Youluo mainly attacks the soul. If you want me to go, you should have a spiritual treasure that can defend the soul, right? I don't want a soul-condensing level, a top-level soul-transforming level will do."
After thinking for a while, he said, "In addition, my trip will definitely cause great damage to my soul, so I will need some elixir recipes and ten thousand year old spiritual herbs and medicines to restore my soul. For the rest, give me some ten thousand year old spiritual milk, asking stone, and true soul flower, then I will risk my life to go on a journey for the billions of lives in Tiancang Realm!"
"You're dreaming!"
Upon hearing Chen Lin's request, before Wu Xingma could say anything, a middle-aged man jumped out, pointed at him and scolded him sternly.
"Isn't this what a lion calls a big mouth
I'll just give you all the resources of the entire Tiancang Realm!
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because everyone needs you. You have to do this mission today, whether you want to or not. Otherwise, after you leave here, you and your family and power will be uprooted!"
Chen Lin frowned and looked at this person, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He made conditions with Wu Xingma, why was the other party so excited
That makes absolutely no sense.
He couldn't figure it out, and neither could the other monks, and they all looked at each other in surprise and doubt.
Everyone wanted to assign the task to Chen Lin, but if they wanted to object, they should just keep silent. There was no need to offend others.
Besides, even the big bosses didn’t say anything, so there’s no point in jumping out like this.
Chen Lin looked at the other party coldly. No matter what, he could not tolerate the other party using his family as a threat.
If there is no reaction at this time, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, the other party is squeezed in the scattered crowd and it is obvious that they are not people from a few super powers.
Thinking of this, his eyes became fierce, and the rusty knife suddenly appeared in his hand. Without any warning, he slashed out!
The rust on the rusty knife fell off, turning into a captivating black light, and in an instant it appeared in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was horrified and tried to use his own magical treasure to deal with it in a hurry.
But his face froze.
In his fear, he forgot that his magic power was suppressed here, and failed to activate his natal magic treasure quickly. He was a little slow, and it was too late to try other means.
It was this half beat that cost him his life.
The light of the rusty knife instantly split his body into two. The defensive soft armor on his body had no magic power to activate and could not withstand the power of the rusty knife. Even his Nascent Soul could not escape.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin stretched out his hand and performed the soul-binding technique.
A ray of light fell down, restrained the opponent's residual soul, and without waiting for the opponent to react, it was crushed to pieces!
Killing people and destroying souls was over in the blink of an eye.
By the time everyone reacted, the middle-aged man had already split into two halves!
"Is there anyone who wants to uproot my family's power?"
Chen Lin looked around the room coldly.
No monk dared to speak; they all lowered their heads with gloomy expressions.
Some of the people who had shouted the loudest before were even trembling, and they wanted to shrink their heads into their necks, for fear that Chen Lin would become murderous and kill them as well.
Chen Lin did not know the middle-aged man, but most of them knew him. He was also a powerful Void Refinement cultivator, and a late Void Refinement cultivator who had lived for thousands of years. It was just that he had been in seclusion for the past hundred years and rarely showed up.
Even such a veteran late-stage Void Refinement expert was killed with one strike. Although it was because he could not use magic power here, it was enough to prove how powerful Chen Lin was. At least here, they were no match for Chen Lin.
Lu Xiaoyin's eyes lit up in the crowd, and she admired Chen Lin's thundering methods very much. If it weren't for the wrong timing, she would definitely shout out the names of the Five Friends of Tiancang to increase her reputation.
Zhao Mengru, who was at the back, had a changing expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Master Yunhai, who had been like an old monk in meditation, frowned, but immediately returned to normal.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is really decisive in killing!"
Wu Xingma's voice was somewhat gloomy.
He didn't expect Chen Lin to attack so boldly, so he was a step slow and failed to stop him in time.
He let the other party kill someone right under his nose, and that person even made a huge request for him to refute the other party. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
However, he didn't dare to say that the means Chen Lin just demonstrated would guarantee victory.
Moreover, he knew that with Zi Shu's ability, he would definitely be able to save the middle-aged man, but the other party did not save him. His attitude was obviously inclined towards Chen Lin. The other party seemed to have an old relationship with Chen Lin, and he didn't know what the relationship was. So even if he was unhappy, he could only suppress it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin clasped his fists and said respectfully, "This person used my family to threaten me, so I had no choice but to take action. It was not directed at Master Wu, so please don't misunderstand me."
"Um."
Wu Xingma nodded, accepting Chen Lin's statement.
Then he added, "But the conditions proposed by Fellow Daoist Chen are not realistic. Soul defense treasures are rare, not to mention the top-level spiritual treasures. As for the Questioning Stone and the True Soul Flower, they are all legendary and cannot possibly exist in this world. As for spiritual herbs and medicines, as well as the ingredients for the pill formula, I can take charge and provide some for you."
Chen Lin immediately shook his head and said, "No, that won't work. Without a high-level soul defense magic treasure, I can't risk my life. The True Soul Flower and the Questioning Stone are also what I need. If I don't have them, I can't accept this mission."
After a pause, he looked around the scene and said, "Whether this Youluo remnant lives or dies, and whether the formation collapses, it has nothing to do with me. Even if all the evil creatures escape, I will not be the only one to die, so it is impossible for me to take the risk alone."
Wu Xingma frowned and said no more.
He also heard that Chen Lin just didn't want to go, so he used the legendary things that didn't exist in this world as an excuse.
In that case, he doesn't care.
The idea of exploring the Immortal Palace and searching for a passage out of the world was originally proposed by Zi Shu and other resurrected people, so they let the other party handle it.
Seeing this, Chen Lin clasped his fists to Wu Xingma again.
He couldn't afford to offend this person for the time being, let alone outside. Even here, he didn't dare to say that he could do anything to the other party. With the other party's identity and strength, it was impossible for him to not have a high-level soul treasure.
Instead, he needs to consider whether he will be retaliated against after he angers the other party.
However, he had also made up his mind that after leaving here, he would immediately hide in the demon world and practice with Qin Lingyu and the others in Taiqing Mountain for a few decades before coming out to avoid the limelight.
Wu Xingma remained silent, and silence returned to the hall.
Chen Lin took a look at the corpse on the ground, walked over, took off the storage bag, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then put the corpse into an empty storage bag to prevent it from being an eyesore on the ground.
"Okay, it's almost time, come and get started!"
Chen Lin had just finished dealing with the corpse when Zi Shu's voice rang out.
The other party didn't seem to take his behavior to heart at all, nor did he pay attention to his attitude, and just started giving orders.
This made his heart sink.
Judging from the situation, my skills are not good enough in the eyes of others. The middle-aged man was right. You have to do it whether you want to or not.
The bargaining with Wu Xingma just now has become a joke.
There was also a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the monks as they looked at him, as if to say, "If you have the ability, kill this guy too!"
Jin Yao and Wu Xingma also looked at Chen Lin.
Wu Xingma had a playful look on his face, while Jin Yao had a cold expression. As long as Chen Lin dared to disobey Zi Shu, he would take action directly.
Even the people in Yunhai turned their gaze and looked at Chen Lin's face.
"Fifth brother, don't be impulsive. You are no match for that Zi Shu. Otherwise, agree first. I will go up with you later so that we can take care of each other!"
Lu Xiaoyin's voice appeared in my mind.
This greatly surprised Chen Lin. The other party actually wanted to complete the task of inserting the sword with him. This really shocked him.
Let alone becoming sworn sisters and brothers, among the cultivators, there are not many even biological siblings who can do this.
He didn't know whether the other party was just talking or could really do it, but he didn't want to verify this.
He turned his gaze to Zi Shu and was about to refuse.
No matter how strong the opponent is, he is not completely powerless to fight back.
Besides, it is impossible for the other party to kill him directly, after all, he still has some use for them.
But before he could speak, Zi Shu spoke first: "I agree to your request. I will give you all the items you asked for. Let's get started!"
