Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Zhang Wu’s self-confidence 265

Several people trekked through the dense forest until dusk fell.

After traveling for a long time, they all felt somewhat fatigued and discussed to find a place to rest.

But just at this moment.

Suddenly, a forceful Divine Sense pressure swept over them.

This Divine Sense pressure was extremely domineering, making it difficult for Lin Jing to catch his breath.

Lin Jing’s brow furrowed tightly as he quickly circulated his cultivation technique to resist, and, straining, he looked up into the sky.

From afar, a figure on a flying sword was heading their way.

At this time.

Lin Jing caught a glimpse of Huang Qingling beside him and saw that she was in a similar state, with her brows tightly knitted, straining to look toward the distant horizon.

Clearly, Huang Qingling was also exerting her full power to counter this terrifying Divine Sense pressure.

Even Zhang Yuan, standing next to Huang Qingling, was in the same predicament.

……

The person was fast; in just a moment, he had closed much of the distance between himself and Lin Jing’s group.

When the person got close, Lin Jing finally saw clearly.

It turned out to be the Wu Cai Immortal.

Lin Jing’s complexion turned ashen as he watched the Wu Cai Immortal flying toward them.

He was at a loss as to why the Wu Cai Immortal would suddenly appear here.

And the momentum was aggressive, clearly targeting them.

The Wu Cai Immortal quickly arrived above them, standing in the void, observing the group below.

Lin Jing made an effort to look up at the Wu Cai Immortal hovering in mid-air; the coldness in the Immortal’s eyes was intense as they fixed on Lin Jing.

And the Divine Sense pressure was even more terrifying than before; despite Lin Jing circulating his cultivation technique with all his might, he could barely stand.

Lin Jing’s thoughts raced, and he couldn’t help but think to himself:

“Could it be that the matter with Liu Yiyuan has been exposed?”

At this time, the Wu Cai Immortal spoke:

“Zhang Wu, hand over Lin Jing to me, and I will let you go immediately, guaranteeing we will not harm a hair on your heads.”

“Otherwise, none of you will escape.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s heart gave a jolt, and his mind whirred as he quickly recalled the events of that day.

However, no matter how much Lin Jing pondered, he couldn’t remember any slip-ups.

Besides, there were no other people in that place at the time, so it couldn’t have been discovered by anyone else.

……

After listening to the Wu Cai Immortal’s words, even Huang Qingling’s brows tightened.

Zhang Yuan, maintaining his composure, stepped in front of Lin Jing to confront the Wu Cai Immortal above.

As for Zhang Wu.

He was much calmer than the other three.

Zhang Wu’s gaze was steady as he looked directly at the Wu Cai Immortal above and said:

“Why do you want Lin Jing? He’s just a junior.”

“Humph!”

The Wu Cai Immortal let out a cold snort, then continued:

“The murderer of Liu Yiyuan is him; he managed to deceive us before, but not this time.”

“Today, no one can save him.”

Hearing the Wu Cai Immortal’s words, both Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan turned their heads in disbelief to look at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing, however, furrowed his brows and made no indication.

Yet at this time, Zhang Wu remained calm:

“And how do you know that Lin Jing is the murderer of Liu Yiyuan?”

Faced with Zhang Wu’s question, the Wu Cai Immortal did not explain and spoke impatiently:

“How I know is none of your concern.”

“I’m just asking whether you will hand him over or not?”

“If you won’t hand him over, think carefully about the consequences!”

Facing the Wu Cai Immortal’s threat, Zhang Wu was not in the least bit anxious, and instead said to himself:

“Was it a few days ago that someone suddenly came to you and told you that Lin Jing killed Liu Yiyuan?”

“And furthermore…”

“They provided evidence convincing enough to persuade you, such as, the Forbidden Artifact — the Lu True Sword — that my lord bestowed upon Lin Jing.”

“And they also employed an ancient secret technique to transfer the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse.”

“That’s why Lin Jing dared to appear so openly in front of you after killing Liu Yiyuan.”

“Isn’t that so?”

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, the Wu Cai Immortal instantly became more vigilant, and his expression turned extremely grim as he looked at Zhang Wu.

Then.

He quickly turned his head to look around, but saw nothing amiss.

Afterward, the Wu Cai Immortal turned back to Zhang Wu, his face dark, and asked in a heavy voice:

“How did you come to know this, and so clearly at that?”

Zhang Wu remained profoundly calm at this time, appearing not to worry at all. Suddenly, Wu Cai Immortal spoke up and began to explain:

“Because…”

“This information was deliberately leaked by us.”

The words of Zhang Wu made Wu Cai Immortal’s complexion turn even uglier.

Zhang Wu then continued:

“The target, of course, was you.”

“Otherwise, how could you have so easily obtained our information and then followed us here?”

As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Lin Jing and the other two were visibly shocked.

At that moment, Lin Jing looked towards Zhang Yuan.

He saw that Zhang Yuan, like Huang Qingling, was also wearing an expression of shock, looking at Zhang Wu in disbelief.

Clearly, he had also been unaware of this matter until now.

Lin Jing, despite his shock, felt a bit relieved.

It turned out that it wasn’t his exposure after all.

Rather, Zhang Wu had used him as bait to lure Wu Cai Immortal into following them here.

Furthermore.

Zhang Wu had just used the word ‘us,’ clearly indicating that more than just Zhang Wu was involved in this matter.

If Lin Jing’s guess was correct, there must be others lying in ambush nearby.

They had gone to such lengths, apparently planning to take action against Wu Cai Immortal.

If they could truly eliminate Wu Cai Immortal, Lin Jing would have no complaints about being used.

……

After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal spread his Divine Sense widely, searching with all his might, yet he detected no anomalies.

His brow furrowed deeply as he stared intently at Zhang Wu, simultaneously raising his guard in secret.

“The news you released…”

“Then that must mean the news is indeed fake.”

“Yes!” Zhang Wu nodded in confirmation.

Wu Cai Immortal glared coldly at Zhang Wu and said:

“By luring me here with false information, Zhang Wu, do you think you can match me?”

Afterward.

The aura emanating from Wu Cai Immortal began to climb, and the presence of his cultivation slowly strengthened.

Soon, a much stronger Cultivation aura than before radiated from Wu Cai Immortal.

Lin Jing and the others below felt an even greater pressure.

“Golden Core Late Stage…”

Zhang Wu said, uttering these few words.

This was the first time he showed an expression of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing and the others, who had relaxed somewhat, instantly tensed up again.

It must be understood…

Among them, Zhang Wu, who had the highest cultivation, only possessed Early Stage Golden Core cultivation.

But this Wu Cai Immortal.

He was at the Late Stage Golden Core level.

The difference between Early Stage and Late Stage Golden Core was not to be underestimated.

After his initial surprise, Zhang Wu’s expression returned to calmness, and he stated directly:

“I didn’t expect you to have quietly advanced to the Late Stage Golden Core.”

“However…”

“What of it even if it’s a Late Stage Golden Core?”

“Today, you are still doomed to die!”

As soon as these words were uttered, not only the Wu Cai Immortal in the sky,

even Lin Jing and his two companions couldn’t help but turn their heads, looking at Zhang Wu.

They were aware that they were confronting a Late Stage Golden Core Wu Cai Immortal,

and Zhang Wu was merely a Cultivator at the Early Stage Golden Core.

What gave him the confidence to speak such words?

Moreover.

This statement was a far cry from the usual Zhang Wu.

If it had been before, Zhang Wu would never have made such a proclamation.

Especially Zhang Yuan, who had been acquainted with him for quite some time, looked even more astonished.

“Good… good… good…”

Wu Cai Immortal, furious to the verge of laughter, his aura surged wildly, becoming more tempestuous.

“Zhang Wu, I didn’t expect you to be so confident. I must see for myself where, indeed, such self-assurance comes from.”

However.

No sooner had Wu Cai Immortal spoken, than a voice came from afar.

“He certainly has reason to be confident, because his confidence comes from me…”
