Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 373: Chapter 73 Kill Qi Yao_2

“I’m sure you’re well aware of what you’ve done; naturally, I won’t let you off easily.”

“However, if you confess on your own, then I won’t need to apply the Soul Searching Technique, and you won’t have to endure the pain anymore.”

“Otherwise, you won’t escape the fate of your soul being scattered to the winds.”

Having said this, Lin Jing’s gaze was intense as he looked at Qi Yao, whose cultivation had been crippled, and he asked again:

“So, will you confess by yourself, or shall I resort to the Soul Searching Technique?”

Under Lin Jing’s stare, the madness on Qi Yao’s face slowly faded away, and fear gradually took its place.

“I… I’ll tell…”

Actually, there were reasons for this.

The agony of Soul Searching was one part of it.

The other part was that, during the moment Lin Jing looked at him, he subtly exerted his Divine Sense to dredge up the deep-seated fear in his heart.

The reason Lin Jing did so was that he didn’t want to employ methods like Soul Searching.

Although Soul Searching could extract the information he wanted, it also had certain effects on the person using it.

Thus, apart from those daring Demon Cultivators, other people would avoid using the Soul Searching Technique as much as possible.

Of course.

The Wu Cai Immortal had also wanted to Soul Search Lin Jing before, but there were reasons for that.

The Wu Cai Immortal at that time merely wanted to meddle during the Soul Search to cripple Lin Jing’s cultivation.

That’s why he was so aggressive and unreasonable.

…

Afterward, Qi Yao began to recount:

“Actually…”

“I came here because on Li Yan Island, there is a secret treasure location that Dai Mao visits every so often. I discovered it only after spending a lot of time with Dai Mao…”

“Previously…”

…

…

Qi Yao continued speaking, and Lin Jing kept staring into his eyes. At the same time, his Divine Sense enveloped Qi Yao, watching every single move he made.

The purpose was to verify whether Qi Yao was lying or not.

Under the surveillance of Lin Jing’s Divine Sense, any slight abnormality in Qi Yao’s behavior couldn’t escape Lin Jing’s observation.

As Qi Yao spoke incessantly, Lin Jing and the others listened intently.

“That’s how it is.”

It wasn’t until half an hour later that Qi Yao finished spelling out everything.

After he finished, Lin Jing and his companions fell into silence for a moment.

…

In fact, the matter was quite simple.

Qi Yao had previously followed Dai Mao and inadvertently discovered that Dai Mao would disappear every now and then.

It was only after secretly paying attention and investigating that Qi Yao found out that Dai Mao would visit a valley in the northern part of Li Yan Island with some regularity.

Moreover, each time Dai Mao emerged from the valley, his cultivation would improve slightly.

Thus, Qi Yao thought that there must be a treasure within the valley that could enhance his cultivation.

Previously, as long as Dai Mao was on the island without leaving, Qi Yao didn’t dare harbor other intentions and remained exceedingly honest and dutiful.

But this time, the opportunity arose. The outside world was abuzz with rumors that Dai Mao was gravely injured and had fled, and there were no reports of him taking any treasures with him.

So, Qi Yao assumed that the treasure was still in the valley.

He then secretly contacted the Island Master of Yuxing Island, seizing the chance to take over Li Yan Island and then to stealthily find the treasure that could enhance his cultivation.

Originally, according to his plan, once he obtained the treasure, he would just flee.

By then, it wouldn’t matter to him whether it was Lu Youjiu and the others returning or Dai Mao coming back for revenge.

It was a nice thought, but unfortunately, he encountered Lin Jing.

Qi Yao never imagined that Lin Jing, who stayed on the island, would be so strong.

Therefore, he miscalculated. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

…

…

Throughout the entire narration, Qi Yao was under Lin Jing’s supervision.

Therefore, there was not the slightest chance of him lying.

“Where is that valley?” Lin Jing continued to ask.

“It’s at the northernmost edge of Li Yan Island, on the western side of the mountain peak closest to the sea, an inconspicuous valley.”

“That’s all I know…”

“Now that I have told everything, Island Master Lin, could you possibly spare me?”

“My cultivation has already been destroyed, I pose no threat to you.”

Lin Jing looked at Qi Yao and saw fear in his eyes, as well as a longing for life.

Although his cultivation was destroyed, he still wished to live.

However, Lin Jing remained unmoved and directly said to Qi Yao:

“I said I wouldn’t let you suffer…”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yao’s face turned ashen. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately no words came out…

After all, considering his previous actions.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have bothered with such trouble and would have directly used the Soul Searching Technique.

Afterward.

Lin Jing directly activated his Divine Sense, and with an overwhelming force, instantly shattered Qi Yao’s sea of consciousness.

And in an instant, Qi Yao’s eyes lost their focus.

Then.

With a “thud,” he fell to the ground.

Nobody present felt sympathy for Qi Yao’s death; if he had succeeded, their fate might have been even worse than his.

They probably would have been tortured even more cruelly.

After the death of Qi Yao, those present turned their attention to another person, Wang Pan.

Wang Pan was a traitor inside the island who helped them sabotage the formations protecting the island.

In comparison to Qi Yao, his actions were even more despicable.

Moreover, after destroying the formation, he was discovered, and in his attempt to escape pursuit, Wang Pan even killed several cultivators on the island.

Among these cultivators, some were even his closely acquainted brothers from before.

“Island Master Lin, how shall we deal with Wang Pan?” one of the cultivators guarding Wang Pan asked respectfully with a cupped fist salute.

Although Wang Pan couldn’t move or speak, his eyes begged pleadingly at Lin Jing.

Desperately seeking Lin Jing’s forgiveness.

Lin Jing looked at Wang Pan and directly spoke:

“Actually, Island Master Yan mentioned you to me before; he thought you were decent, and even planned to arrange some tests for you…”

“Then help you advance to Golden Core and assist us in managing Li Yan Island.”

“Now, it seems unnecessary…”

Lin Jing’s words made Wang Pan’s breath catch, and his eyes were filled with deep remorse.

Lin Jing then continued:

“Rest assured, I won’t kill you.”

“As for your punishment, I think it’s better to leave it to Island Master Yan.”

Having said that, Lin Jing stretched out his hand, conjuring a streak of five-colored radiance.

Then the five-colored radiance flew out and entered Wang Pan’s body.

With the five-colored radiance inside his body, it effectively bound him, and furthermore, Lin Jing could monitor his every move at any time.

After doing all this, Lin Jing addressed the people in the hall:

“Lock him up, keep a close watch, and hand him over to Island Master Yan when he returns.”

After he finished speaking, Lin Jing looked at Qi Yao’s corpse and said:

“As for him, dispose of him directly.”

After finishing his words, Lin Jing left the council hall.

The few people cupped their hands and said:

“Yes, Island Master Lin.”
