Chapter 176 Blatant Blackmail
He and Li Chongfeng had no grievances, but they could not do anything to harm the other or benefit themselves at the expense of others.
Tian Lin did not stay here for long, and dived again towards the distant sea.
Not long after, a small boat appeared in front of Tianlin.
Just as Tian Lin approached the boat, Zhou Shoufan on the boat frowned and glanced at the water under the boat.
Tian Lin was slightly frightened under the sea, and he held his breath and sank more than a foot deep.
At this time, he could not see Zhou Shoufan, and Zhou Shoufan on the boat could not see Tian Lin.
At this time, Tian Lin heard waves surging above him, and Tian Lin vaguely saw another boat appearing on the sea.
Then a young man's voice came: "Xing Bufan, where is the promised soul-gathering bead?"
"Fifth Young Master, the Soul Gathering Pearl is here."
After Zhou Shoufan's voice sounded, the young man's voice sounded again, with a relaxed and playful tone:
"You are no worse than my thirteenth brother. The same Five Elements Dharmakaya has achieved the mid-stage cultivation of foundation;
My thirteenth brother knows how to collect remnants of souls to compete for the position of Shuiyun Sect's outer disciple. Are you, Xing Bufan, willing to be my Tong family's worshiper for the rest of your life? ”
Listen to Zhou Shoufan's voice:
"The Tong family prohibits the private sale of remnant souls. This is simply because the number of Shuiyun Sect's outer disciples is limited. They are afraid that the Tong family will not be able to compete with outsiders, so they set up this rule to restrict outsiders, but they themselves may not abide by it.
After understanding this truth, I knew that I, Huahua Lang, could not compete with the disciples of the Tong family. Instead of dreaming about competing for the position of outer disciple, it is better to sell the remaining souls in the soul gathering beads and sell some spiritual stones to make money. ”
After he finished speaking, the fifth young master’s voice sounded:
"Okay, no wonder you are able to reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment at such a young age. This is the way the world is. Compared with birth, so-called talent is not important.
Here are seventy middle-grade spiritual stones, which are my reward for you. ”
As soon as the two people finished speaking, a burst of guzheng sound suddenly sounded.
Tian Lin under the sea was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.
This time, although he was ten feet away under the sea, he could still clearly see a painting boat slowly appearing from the clouds and mist on the sea.
The painting boat was huge, and the two-story building was hung with red lanterns.
"What the hell is that?"
As soon as the fifth young master's voice sounded, he flew towards the boat.
Tian Lin only heard the fifth young master yelling angrily: "Xing Bufan, how dare you use me to block the knife?"
Just as there was a "swish" sound, above Tian Lin's head, the boat belonging to Zhou Shoufan quickly moved away from the approaching boat.
And a bamboo pennant made of unknown material was strung with a young man who was still staring at death, and was being moved gently under the sea.
Tian Lin saw the fifth young master on the bamboo pennant. He was obviously killed directly by the 'Master Xun' at the bow of the ship.
At this time, the fifth young master's eyes widened, and his body slipped from the bamboo pole and sank into the deep sea of Shenxiantang.
Above Tian Lin's head, the sound of the guzheng and the resentful singing of the maidens drifted away.
Tian Lin suppressed the fear in his heart and stabbed the fifth young master fiercely.
His hands were like electricity, and he directly took off the storage bag on the fifth young master's body, and then took off the seemingly valuable jade pendant from the fifth young master's waist. This time, he did not turn around, but swam after the boat.
This boat moves extremely slowly when no one is encountered.
But once it encounters people, its speed will increase, and it will be able to kill them almost instantly. It will not turn around until the people who are catching wandering souls on the sea are killed, and then slowly leave.
In just one night, Tian Lin followed the painting boat and directly earned three storage bags and several porcelain bottles containing unknown elixirs.
At dawn, the boat disappeared in the mist, and Tian Lin was exhausted.
He searched for an hour and finally surfaced in a deserted place near the coast. He took out the spare canoe from his storage bag and then climbed on board.
By the time Tian Lin arrived at the coast, Gao He and his wife had already landed, accompanied by many foundation-building monks whom Tian Lin didn't recognize.
The Great Elder was also in the crowd over there. When he saw Tian Lin appearing, he quickly came up and asked Tian Lin:
"A painting boat inevitably appeared last night. Did you bump into it?"
Tian Lin looked at Zhou Shoufan behind the great elder from the corner of his eye, only to see Zhou Shoufan frowning slightly and looking a little solemn.
After thinking about it, Tian Lin nodded solemnly and said:
"That painted boat is extremely powerful. I have only seen it once - poor Jiang worshiped a strong foundation builder, but he was killed by a single move from the boatman on the painted boat."
After hearing the words, the great elder turned around and glanced at Zhou Shoufan, and saw Zhou Shoufan saying:
"The boatman on this boat is probably a night-wandering god. If the boatman is like this, the singing singer on the boat is probably a day-wandering god."
The great elder nodded and said to several foundation-building monks on the side:
"I will tell my ancestors about this. In the future, when you see this boat and hear the singing, it is better to escape as soon as possible.
In my opinion, each of you should prepare a soul-pointing needle. With the soul pointing needle, you can be mentally prepared before this boat appears. ”
When everyone heard the words, they all said yes. After the group of people waited for the great elder to leave, they started chatting about their own affairs.
Gao He took Cai Shu to Tian Lin and asked Tian Lin with a smile:
"Yesterday, fellow Daoist Tian, you were by your side when Jiang Chongfeng died. What about Jiang Chongfeng's relics?"
Tian Lin noticed that some people were looking at him and simply said:
"It is true that Jiang Chongfeng's relic is in my hand, but I risked my life to earn it from Huafang. You don't want me to return this 'relic' to the Jiang family, right?"
Gao He hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist, you have misunderstood. Are we that kind of people?"
Tian Lin didn't listen to Gao He's explanation. Under the envious eyes of some people, he cupped his hands and walked towards Yu'er in the distance.
In fact, he could deny with all his heart that Jiang Chongfeng's relics were on his body.
But considering that the harvest this time is relatively large, if you want to get rid of the things in your hand, you can't hide them. It's better to use the name of 'Jiang Zongfang' to get rid of all the relics of the three foundation-building experts.
When Tian Lin walked towards Yu'er, Yu'er stood up from the stall.
At her stall, in addition to selling the things Tian Lin gave her, she also collected some things for resale.
At this time, Tian Lin had just handed a storage bag to Yu'er when he saw a richly dressed young man walking towards him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Lin looked at the young man walking over in confusion, and heard Yu'er remind him in a low voice beside him: "This is the seventh young master of the Tong family."
As soon as Yu'er finished speaking, the seventh young master over there had already walked up to Tian Lin and asked Tian Lin:
"I heard you're a corpse hunter."
There is no respect in these words, but Tian Lin is now a worshiper of the Tong family, and this young man is the young master of the Tong family——
Tian Lin couldn't just turn around and leave, let alone shout something like "Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi" like Zhou Qing did.
"Tian did indeed retrieve the body. I wonder why Master Seventh came to see me?"
Tian Lin suspected that the other party was here to blackmail him.
But even if the other party is a disciple of the Tong family, how could Tian Lin give up his interests?
The seventh young master said: "I heard that you salvaged Jiang Chongfeng's relics yesterday? So, the soul-gathering beads collected by Jiang Chongfeng during this period are in your hands?"
Tian Lin suddenly remembered that Gao He had also asked Jiang Chongfeng about the relics.
At that time, he thought that the other party was coveting the treasure in Jiang Gongfeng's hands, but now that he thought about it carefully, he probably also had the idea of collecting soul beads.
"I will give the Soul Gathering Bead to the Great Elder. If the Seventh Young Master wants the Soul Gathering Bead, please go to the Great Elder to ask for it when the time comes."
After Tian Lin understood the reason for the matter, he made the decision without thinking.
The seventh young master's face darkened when he heard this. He didn't need to speak at this time. A maid behind him stepped forward and scolded:
"Do you only have the elder in your eyes and not my seventh young master?"
Tian Lin was very surprised. How could this woman at the twelfth level of Qi Refining have the confidence to talk like this to a person like herself, who was already building a foundation?
Furthermore, why should I have her seventh young master in my eyes?
Seeing the woman pull out the flying sword as she spoke, Yu'er also pulled out the sword and stood in front of Tian Lin facing the maid holding the sword.
Both women hold sword identities. Although they are both from the Tong family, they are now their own masters.
But Tian Lin knew that Yu'er was only at the sixth level of Qi refining, so she would definitely not be a match against the seventh young master in a sword fight.
He didn't care that Yu'er would lose his face if he failed in the sword fight, but he didn't want to let the conflict expand for no reason.
Tian Lin pushed Yu'er away from him, looked at the seventh young master coldly and said:
"Tian is a worshiper of the Tong family, not a slave of the Tong family. When the seventh young master came to persecute him, did he simply think that Tian was easy to bully, or did he think that the worshipers of the Tong family were inferior to others?"
Tian Lin's question was interesting, because no matter what the seventh young master admitted, he had already established his reputation as a bully.
The seventh young master frowned and found that many foundation-building monks and Tong family priests were looking this way.
He knew that it would be detrimental to him if things escalated, and he also thought of retreating.
He glanced at Tian Lin coldly and said, "I originally wanted to make friends with Tian Zongfeng. Since you don't like me, let's meet again later."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with his sword.
A priest over there came over at this time and comforted Tian Lin and said:
"There is no need to worry, Tian Zongzong. Although we are worshipers of the Tong family, we are still foundation-building monks. If a Tong family member can yell at us, then what's the point of doing this worship?
Don't worry, if the people above investigate it, we will also speak for you. ”
Tian Lin heard this and said with a smile: "Tian, thank you all for your kindness, and also ask you to witness that all the soul-gathering beads that Jiang offered are in this storage bag.
Tian did not keep any of these soul-gathering beads and handed them all over to the great elder. ”
He knew that he gave the Soul Gathering Pearl to the Seventh Young Master, and these offerings would probably make him hate him.
Because in the eyes of these worshippers, the Seventh Young Master is also a competitor with them.
The reason why he refused to give the Soul Gathering Bead to the Seventh Young Master was not only because he did not want to attract hatred for himself, but also to prevent other Tong family children from coming to him for the Soul Gathering Bead next time.
The harder he hurts the Seventh Young Master this time, the other young masters will not imitate the Seventh Young Master and blatantly come to blackmail him in order to avoid embarrassment.
