Chapter 1595: Chapter 54: The Veiled Woman
The old herb-gatherer was filled with disappointnt. Lin Yifan’s attitude had said it all; clearly, there was no hope for this marriage proposal.
In that case, they could only pack their things and leave.
The old man’s granddaughter also felt a void in her heart. Although her encounter with Lin Yifan was only a few minutes long, she was touched by his appearance and kindheartedness.
As the saying goes, a benevolent person can’t be bad. Besides, Lin Yifan was sunny, handso, and skilled in martial arts. Marrying such a person would only be a great gain for her.
Unfortunately, it was all just a pipe dream.
Thinking about it, how could a handso person like Lin Yifan take a fancy to her?
After the old man and his granddaughter had packed their belongings, Lin Yifan escorted them out of Xu Sheng Country.
If they walked or took a carriage, it would be too slow and easy for the authorities to catch up, so it was better to help them to the end. Delivering kindness like sending a Buddha to the West, he decided to take them to safety.
After a few days, they reached another country.
Lin Yifan found them a place with good culture and let them settle down there.
With this matter settled, he left with peace of mind.
“Hero! Co back and visit us when you have ti. We will surely treat you warmly.”
“Got it!”
Lin Yifan waved goodbye, disappearing at the end of the road.
Elsewhere, a high official of Xu Sheng Country was extrely furious.
This county magistrate had been his acquaintance since childhood, and he had pulled so strings to secure this position for him, only for him to be killed like this.
He didn’t know who was responsible, but he ordered the whole county to hunt down Lin Yifan.
Despite searching for many days, there were no results, so he had to have a portrait of Lin Yifan drawn and put the whole county on permanent alert to apprehend him.
The reason it was only a county-wide alert was that the incident wasn’t big enough to damage Xu Sheng Country’s dignity, so it couldn’t be made a national alert.
…
Though many days had passed, Lin Yifan still hadn’t forgotten his original aspirations.
The cultivation levels of those Xu Sheng Country’s corrupt officials were too low, not enough for him to even bother with a few moves, so he needed to delve into the mountains, searching for more powerful Spirit Beasts to train against.
He descended into a remote mountain and began searching for Spirit Beasts.
Soon enough, he encountered a powerful Spirit Beast at the Superior Immortal Third Realm.
Without a word, he imdiately drew his Seven-Colored Immortal Sword and engaged in battle.
“Bang bang bang!”
After several exchanges, he had nurous chances to kill the Superior Immortal Third Realm Spirit Beast but refrained because he needed to test various martial arts, combat techniques, and attack modes.
“Bang bang bang!”
After so ti, once he had tried everything, he finally killed the Spirit Beast with a strike from his sword.
Extracting the Spirit Beast Crystal Core, he continued on his journey, continuing his training.
Half a month later, while training in a mountain range, he heard sounds of screams and terror.
The voices were all won’s. He didn’t know what was happening, so he moved closer to observe.
Upon nearing the source of the sound, he saw a large group of female cultivators.
They were fleeing for their lives in panic, feeling nothing but fear and despair in their hearts.
The reason they were so frightened was that they were being chased by a swarm of bloodthirsty bats.
There were too many bats, and their cultivation levels weren’t low. Resisting would only deplete their cultivation power and inevitably lead to death.
Thus, instead of facing such an end, they fled for their lives, hoping at least so could escape.
Looking further away, Lin Yifan saw a cave, from which the ferocious bloodthirsty bats continuously erged.
He speculated that these female cultivators must have intruded into the cave, angering the bats and leading to this consequence.
At this mont, Lin Yifan didn’t feel like playing the hero or being a good Samaritan. The bloodthirsty bats were too ferocious, and getting involved would only an throwing away his life for nothing.
The situation grew precarious. Just when he thought the female cultivators were dood, a mysterious lody swept across the entire region.
Under the influence of this lody, the bloodthirsty bats, like moths to a fla, beca weakened and fell into a dazed state.
“‘Drunken Life and Dreamlike Death’?”
Lin Yifan was astonished. He was very familiar with this flute lody, recognizing it as a piece from the ‘Mysterious lody’ composed by the Qingxu Immortal.
He never expected to find such martial arts in the Realm of Longevity and now couldn’t tell if this was the original creation of the Qingxu Immortal or sothing he had found elsewhere.
The flute player was a woman dressed in white.
She wore a veil, obscuring her face, yet from her jade-like complexion, delicate hands, and slender, graceful figure, it wasn’t hard to discern that she was a stunning beauty.
Her cultivation level wasn’t high, only at the Superior Immortal Second Realm, but she could subdue the fierce bloodthirsty bats with just a lody, demonstrating formidable strength.
Once she had the bats under control, all the fleeing female cultivators imdiately turned back and annihilated the bats entirely.
“Sss sss sss!”
Before long, a foul stench of blood perated the air.
Lin Yifan quickly covered his nose and mouth, unwilling to let the stench enter his body.
Even he could sll it, and the others were no exception, but they used their cultivation power to isolate themselves from it, so they didn’t catch a whiff of the stench.
The stench perated the cave, and when the Bat King inside caught the scent, it flew into a rage.
This was the blood of its companions, and it couldn’t tolerate cultivators wantonly slaughtering its kin, so it flew out of the cave to avenge them.
Targeting its enemy, it headed straight for the flute-playing woman.
She had controlled its companions, so if she were killed, they could be saved.
Though the veiled woman’s strength wasn’t weak, she was still at a disadvantage before the Bat King. Hence, her flute could not control it, and she was in great peril.
Lin Yifan watched the spectacle from the shadows.
The veiled woman remained composed and steady as a mountain, likely having a plan to deal with this. Thus, he didn’t worry.
However, he sensed sothing unusual about this Bat King, speculating that it might be a Constellation Beast.
As he had surmised, it was indeed a Constellation Beast, and everything the veiled woman did was part of a plan.
She awaited the Bat King’s ergence, waiting for it to fall into their trap.
The reason for this strategy was the presence of a bat virus inside the cave; rushing in would spell doom if infected with it. Coupled with the complicated environnt, capturing this Bat King would be extrely difficult, so this was an out-of-the-box strategy to lure the snake out of its hole.
In the next mont, as the Bat King drew near, the veiled woman imdiately unleashed a secret weapon, swiftly slaying the Bat King.
“Sss!”
The Bat King never knew what hit it, only a red light passing through its body, and then there was no life left in it.
Lin Yifan witnessed the entire process of the slaying.
