Chapter 85: Twins
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Lin Jing suddenly staring at the token, Shen Song inquired.
"Nothing, a Demon Exterminator discovered a Yin Corpse Sect outpost, and I've also received intelligence."
"You want to raid this Yin Corpse Sect outpost?" Shen Song guessed Lin Jing's intentions.
"Yes." Lin Jing clenched the token: "The intelligence says that there are two people with special constitutions imprisoned there."
"I remember you were rescued from a Yin Corpse Sect outpost by the Beast Taming Sect years ago..."
"Besides me, the nearest Demon Extermination Bureau branch should have also received the intelligence. If luck is on their side, these two should be rescued."
"However, it's rare to have a chance to take revenge on the Yin Corpse Sect with my own strength, even if it's just a small outpost with a Golden Core Demon Cultivator sitting there, but a thousand-mile dike can collapse because of an ant mound."
"Alright, consider it a training exercise for you, go ahead." Shen Song thought it was a good idea; eradicating a demon cult's outpost might finally let Lin Jing kill.
"As long as a Nascent Soul doesn't intervene, I won't help you."
"Alright." Lin Jing activated the token, and in the next moment, it guided him in the direction.
Using this Land of Extreme Cold, the Ice Soul Gu has successfully reached Foundation Establishment, and its bloodline has advanced from King level to Emperor level.
Due to the Ice Soul Gu's Foundation Establishment, he's progressed from the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation to the twelfth level.
As the Child Immortal mentioned before, now that he's fused with the Ice Soul Gu, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators can forget about gaining any advantage from him.
In addition to several other trump cards, he has some confidence in facing this Yin Corpse Sect outpost guarded by a Golden Core Demon Cultivator.
Lin Jing flew using qi, transforming into a blue streak of light, heading straight for the Yin Corpse Sect outpost.
...
Meanwhile, in the sky, outside Qianxun City, within a valley.
An elder covered in a black robe, concealing his face, looked at the lifeless Foundation Establishment Demon Exterminator before him, whose chest had been pierced, and casually flicked a fire over his corpse, incinerating it.
"Ugh!!"
"Mmm!!"
Behind him were two gray-robed demon cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect.
These two demon cultivators were escorting two young boys and girls who had been immobilized by a Binding Technique.
Seeing the tragic death of the Demon Exterminator, the boy and girl instantly welled up with tears.
"Leader, it seems we've been discovered by the Demon Extermination Bureau, should we leave this place quickly?"
"The Demon Exterminators possess a Secret Technique to transmit intelligence to branches miles away. It's uncertain if he already sent the information from here." A gray-robed demon cultivator asked.
"No need."
"The deal with the buyer has been confirmed to take place here; changing the location now is too troublesome."
"Complete this transaction quickly and then leave. You two have done well in capturing this time, and I will apply for rewards for both of you once the transaction is completed."
"Yes!" Although the two Yin Corpse Sect cultivators felt that continuing the transaction here was too risky, they dared not defy the leader's order.
Upon hearing this, the two bound youths showed utter despair. They were both Qi Cultivation Cultivators, appearing somewhat similar, likely siblings.
Being captured by the Yin Corpse Sect, they could foresee their own grim fate.
Even the two Yin Corpse Sect cultivators responsible for escorting them exchanged glances, surprised at such favorable luck this time.
Without any obstacles, they'd captured two Gemini constitution individuals.
The Gemini constitution typically appears among twins, and individually it has no effect.
However, if Gemini individuals fight side by side, they can share each other's magical abilities, significantly boosting strength, making them formidable.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, a white light pierced through from afar, directly breaching the heads of the two gray-robed demon cultivators, their eyes widened as a Golden Core stage Demon Exterminator appeared in the sky.
He wore red armor, eyes full of righteousness.
Seeing this Golden Core stage Demon Exterminator, the two Yin Corpse Sect cultivators died with regret, lamenting their failure to insist on changing the transaction location.
Simultaneously, with a Golden Core stage Demon Exterminator appearing, the heartbeat of the boy and girl accelerated, reigniting their hope for survival.
But in the next moment, that hope quickly plummeted.
"You came quickly, next time manage your subordinates better." The Yin Corpse Sect leader looked at the arriving Demon Exterminator coldly.
"That person was a newcomer, ignorant of the rules, but he has already paid with his life, hasn't he?" The Golden Core Demon Exterminator replied: "As usual, this outpost is mine to uproot, these two twins, you take away."
"Alright, the item you wanted is already placed in the outpost, it's your spoils of war." Said the Yin Corpse Sect leader. The two twins looked terrified, their hearts sinking into an icy chasm, never expecting that the Demon Extermination Bureau cultivators, supposedly vowed to fight demons, would collude with Yin Corpse Sect cultivators.
Originally thinking someone came to rescue them, they realized they were merely bargaining items between the Yin Corpse Sect leader and the Demon Extermination Bureau.
"Ugh!!"
"Mmm!!" They struggled continuously, their bodies growing cold.
This Demon Exterminator, however, did not care about the twins' thoughts, knowing it wouldn't be long before they'd become corpse puppets of the Yin Corpse Sect leader.
Over the years, leveraging his position, he had been secretly providing information to the Yin Corpse Sect.
In return, the Yin Corpse Sect would abandon some outposts and peripheral demon cultivators, granting him merits.
With such a cooperative model, he had smoothly ascended from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, becoming a manager of a branch of the Demon Extermination Bureau, his path to promotion exceptionally swift.
Far more convenient and efficient than the self-sacrificing battles against Demon Cultivators he once waged.
"Hahaha...…"
Just as the Yin Corpse Sect leader and the Golden Core Demon Exterminator were about to complete their mutually beneficial transaction, a strange laughter suddenly echoed from the sky.
Shen Song looked at everything below, at Lin Jing's expressionless face, feeling a strong urge to laugh.
It couldn't have expected to encounter such a situation, curious about Lin Jing's thoughts seeing this scene.
"No thoughts, isn't this quite common?"
"Only that the enemies have increased from one Golden Core to two Golden Cores."
"Fortunately, they're only early-stage Golden Cores." Lin Jing responded calmly.
"Who's there?"
Under Lin Jing's skillful use of Illusion Techniques, Sealing Techniques, and the Molting Technique to conceal his presence, even the two Golden Core cultivators hadn't detected Lin Jing's arrival until Shen Song's laughter couldn't be withheld, drawing their attention to Lin Jing.
"Qi Cultivation Stage?"
Though puzzled by the sudden appearance of a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, the Yin Corpse Sect leader and the Demon Exterminator were of one mind: to eliminate the Qi Cultivation Cultivator at all costs.
"Die!"
The Demon Exterminator looked at Lin Jing, white light shooting from both eyes, the same Magic that had instantaneously slain the two Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators.
But facing this white light, Lin Jing simply lifted his hand slightly. In the next instant, a chill surged forth from his arm.
The light, frozen in mid-air.
Fine snowflakes began to dance in the sky, the twins looked at Lin Jing in the skies, their gaze momentarily lost.
