790 Invitation From the Youth Named Zhao

“Ah!”

He turned around and saw Lin Qiye standing proudly in the air.

As for the three men chasing after him, they all had one of their arms broken. Where their injuries lie, there were strands of black lightning wrapped around them, preventing the wounds from healing.

“B*stard! You dare to attack us! We’re the Church of Truth…”

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The three men’s arms had been cut off and could not be restored. When shocked and angry, they immediately revealed their background to intimidate Lin Qiye.

However, before they could finish their sentence, Lin Qiye waved his hand. Three black Lightning bolts struck down, instantly blasting the men apart.

The black lightning did not disappear after crushing the three of them. Instead, it attached itself to their remaining flesh and blood, constantly eroding and annihilating them.

In the blink of an eye, the black lightning had annihilated them.

The youth surnamed Zhao was terrified. 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝔀𝒆𝚋no𝐯𝘦𝘭. c𝑜𝗺

Oh my God!

What kind of person was this?

Did he kill three Practitioners at the Human Immortal Realm with a word?

Even the guards in the Celestial Realm in the clan weren’t so powerful!

Just as Zhao was shocked by Lin Qiye’s decisiveness and ruthlessness, he saw Lin Qiye’s gaze suddenly land on him. He shuddered and took a few steps back.

However, he reacted quickly. Before Lin Qiye could do anything, he shouted, “Many thanks for your life-saving grace! I am the eldest son of the third generation of the Zhao family in Shangyuan City. In the future, if you have any problems in Shangyuan City, just let me know. I will do my best to share your worries!”

Zhao’s posture was humble. He bowed at a 90-degree angle, looking extremely sincere.

Lin Qiye didn’t respond. He stared at Zhao for a while until he felt his hair stand on end. Then, he slowly said, “Is the Zhao family very powerful in Shangyuan City?”

Zhao was slightly stunned.

The Zhao family had a Supreme within their ranks. Even though he had never seen their Supreme ancestor personally, the Zhao family had maintained their position as one of the six great families of Shangyuan City for over a thousand years by using the name of their ancestor!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that even the cities near Shangyuan City knew of the Zhao family.

“Sir, our Zhao family is considered one of the six great families in Shangyuan City. Although I can’t say we can control the sky with one hand, we’re not that far off. There aren’t many people I can’t afford to offend in the city! You have saved my life today. When we return to the city, I will definitely repay you!”

Although Zhao was confused, he still explained.

Lin Qiye suddenly recalled he had heard of the Zhao family when he gathered information in the city.

He didn’t expect that this young man who looked a little flattering before him was the eldest son of the Zhao family’s third generation.

A prominent family in a giant city must have a strong foundation.

Although Zhao had promised to return the favor, Lin Qiye did not feel happy about it.

He knew that many people from prominent families had been scheming against each other since they were young.

If he really followed him back to Shangyuan City, he might be sold without knowing why.

Lin Qiye didn’t want to get too close to such a person without benefits.

Hence, he replied indifferently, “There’s no need to repay me. I’ve just come out of my master’s sect to gain experience, so I don’t know much about the situation. Saving you was a passing act. If you want to thank me, you can give me a copy of the information on Shangyuan City.”

The reason why Lin Qiye mentioned a sect was to fabricate an identity for himself.

The old man in the white coat and the others already knew he had a divine spark. He wasn’t sure if there would be more people who knew about it.

Although the old man in the white coat did not harm him, it was mostly because his divine spark was damaged.

Now that his divine spark had been restored, they could come looking for him again at any time.

If he used his previous identity to move about, he would probably die without knowing what had happened.

Therefore, if Lin Qiye wanted to get rid of those dangerous situations, he could only escape that guy’s pursuit with a new identity.

Here, he vaguely mentioned his sect to Zhao. If there were any problems in the future, he might be able to prove his new identity.

“So you are a genius from a hidden sect? No wonder you’re so powerful at such a young age!”

When Zhao heard Lin Qiye’s words, realization immediately appeared on his face.

He had heard that some hidden sects would send their geniuses out to gain experience.

Therefore, when he heard Lin Qiye had just left the sect to gain experience, he naturally thought Lin Qiye was a hidden genius.

After all, Lin Qiye looked like a teenager, but his cultivation base was far beyond the Human Immortal Realm.

Such talent could only be found in a few reclusive ancient sects, apart from the major forces of Heavenly Court Island.

“Sir, since you’ve just arrived in Shangyuan City, why don’t you come to my house as a guest? We can also do our part as hosts!”

Zhao’s eyes flashed. If they could befriend such a genius, it would be beneficial to the Zhao family’s future development!

Lin Qiye could tell what he was thinking and shot him a cold glance.

“I’m used to being free. I don’t like to be watched. Do you have any information on Shangyuan City? If not, you should leave.”

Seeing Lin Qiye’s sudden coldness, Zhao knew he was a little impatient. He quickly bowed and said, “I’ve been too rude. Please don’t take offense, Sir. I’ll give you the information on Shangyuan City.”

Although Zhao was older than Lin Qiye, he treated Lin Qiye with respect.

He knew it was impossible to win Lin Qiye over at the moment, so he did not force it. Instead, he quickly took out a palm-sized device, operated it, and respectfully handed it to Lin Qiye.

“I’ve already sorted out the information. It should be able to meet your needs. In the future, if you need help, you can also contact me through this communicator. I promise to be at your beck and call!”

Lin Qiye took the communicator and nodded without saying anything.

Then, his figure turned illusory and disappeared from Zhao’s sight.

...

Zhao sensed that Lin Qiye’s aura had disappeared into thin air. There was not even a trace of his teleportation.

Zhao sighed in his heart.

As expected of a genius from a hidden sect! With such strength, Lin Qiye was probably not much weaker than the top geniuses of the major forces on Heavenly Court Island.

It was a pity that he didn’t manage to rope Lin Qiye into his family this time.

Just as he wondered if Lin Qiye would contact him in the future, a figure in the distance quickly approached him.

“Young Master! Are you alright?”

The person who came was a guard at the Celestial Realm. As soon as he saw the young man standing in the void in a daze, he quickly rushed to his side.

Zhao returned to his senses, the fawning look on his face long gone.

He gave off the aura of a superior and glanced at the guard.

“Commander Liu, you’ve come at the right time!”

Cold sweat seeped out of the guard’s forehead. He lowered his head and said in fear, “This subordinate is guilty! Young Master, please punish me!”

...

Zhao snorted.

“Hmph, it’s not your place to teach me how to do things! Don’t worry. I’ll settle the score properly when I return!”

“Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake!”

The guard lowered his head even more. He knew many people would probably be in deep trouble when they returned.

The appearance of a traitor in the guard team and the betrayal of the young master’s whereabouts, an attempt to murder the future heir of the Zhao family, was bound to set off a new storm in Shangyuan City.

Under the protection of his guards, Zhao quickly left the edge of the collapsed space.

Not long after the two left, Lin Qiye’s figure gradually reappeared from where he had disappeared.

He looked in the direction the two people had left with a dark expression.

“It seems like this young master of the Zhao family is not simple.”

Lin Qiye muttered to himself and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he turned his head to look at the information on Shangyuan City that Zhao had given him.
