Chapter 399: The Ordinary Person

In this world, disciples of other sects cannot know the whereabouts of their fellow members, except for the Grand Medicine Sect.

It’s unknown what treasure the Grand Medicine Sect used, allowing them not only to contact their fellow members at any time in this world but also to know their locations.

Jiang Yun had been sitting on the top of a high mountain for half a year, where all the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect had gathered together and were now staying in a cave.

Although the Grand Medicine Sect’s expertise in medicine was considered the strongest in the Mountain-Sea World, without the protection of their sect, they appeared much weaker in this world.

As over a hundred disciples entered this place, half of them were skilled in medical cultivation. Because they carried medicinal pills, they had become targets for nearly all sects to prey upon, except for the Seeking-Tao Sect.

As a result, up to now, they were left with only fifty-three disciples, having suffered the most casualties among all sects. Hence, they had to hide in the cave, trying their best to avoid being exposed.

They clearly heard and understood the orders issued by Huo Duming and two others, knowing that Jiang Yun was about to become a public enemy, being besieged by at least three major forces.

Faced with such a situation, the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect had different opinions.

Xiao Zheng and his group strongly insisted on making peace with Jiang Yun, the leader of the Seeking-Tao Sect.

After all, Elder Shen had personally advised them, and considering the relationship between Xiao Zheng and Jiang Yun, as long as they appeared, Jiang Yun would surely protect them to the best of his ability.

On the other hand, Li Changlin and his group vehemently opposed the idea.

Their reason was simple: Jiang Yun and the Seeking-Tao Sect were already targets, so they couldn’t spare any extra energy to protect the Grand Medicine Sect.

What’s more, now that the other sects had turned against Jiang Yun, it would be a dead end to confront him at this time.

The two groups couldn’t agree and had to leave the decision to their leader – Guan Yiming!

Guan Yiming remained silent throughout.

Despite his usual arrogance, Guan Yiming was puzzled at this moment.

He had never faced such a situation before and was hesitant to make a decision.

He didn’t want to confront Jiang Yun, but he knew that if they ignored Jiang Yun and the Seeking-Tao Sect, it would be Grand Medicine Sect’s turn to be attacked by the other sects if Jiang Yun and the Seeking-Tao Sect were killed.

However, if they went to find Jiang Yun now, Grand Medicine Sect would also be seen as an enemy and targeted by other sects, like Li Changlin thought.

Helplessly, he turned to another disciple of the Grand Medicine Sect, Zhou Dongqing, who, besides him, was the only non-medicine cultivator disciple who had formed a vortex.

Zhou Dongqing also met Jiang Yun and quite liked him.

Especially during the battle with the Sea Clan that day, he saw all of Jiang Yun’s actions with his own eyes.

Feeling Guan Yiming’s gaze, he knew the hesitation in his heart and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let’s go to Jiang Yun first, then decide after seeing the situation!"

"Okay, let’s follow Senior Zhou’s suggestion!"

Guan Yiming immediately nodded, and the more than fifty people from the Grand Medicine Sect stood up and left the cave, heading towards where Jiang Yun was.

However, compared to other sects, they were more cautious in their actions, so their speed was naturally slower.

Apart from the Grand Medicine Sect, near a desolate lake, a charming young woman gazed unwaveringly at a young man in blue sitting cross-legged in front of her, saying, "Wang Lin, you’ve been sitting for nine months, are you planning to sit there forever?"

Wang Lin is the leader of the Samsara Sect this time, with an ordinary appearance, average build, and a plain demeanor.

He was completely ordinary, without any special qualities.

Even people who have only seen him a few times find it hard to remember what he looks like after he turns away.

All these things added up making him very low-key in his daily life, not attracting any attention at all.

But this ordinary person, when faced with Mo Shan’s provocation, easily defeated him, becoming famous in one battle, shocking all the disciples of the Samsara Sect.

Afterwards, the Samsara Sect naturally sent someone to investigate his background, but the results turned out to be very ordinary…

Born into a common family, both parents passed away when he was young, and he wandered the streets until one day he arrived at the Samsara Sect and became a menial disciple.

His whole background had nothing unusual about it.

To be honest, some high-ranking members of the Samsara Sect didn’t believe Wang Lin’s background at all, but every experience he had had undeniable evidence, making it impossible not to believe.

So, during this journey to Mirage, since Feng Wuji couldn’t leave, the Samsara Sect appointed Wang Lin as the leader, and sent a seductive woman to follow him closely.

It was said to be following, but in reality, it was also monitoring, to see if Wang Lin was hiding any secrets.

The beautiful woman is not an ordinary person, she is the granddaughter of an elder from the Samsara Sect. Although she looks young, she is actually over fifty years old and possesses the strength of the Sky Reaching Realm.

When Wang Lin heard the beautiful woman’s words, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "If we don’t sit here, what else can we do?"

The beautiful woman widened her eyes and said, "Jiang Yun killed Mo Shan. Now, he is being besieged by three major forces. Shouldn’t we take advantage of this opportunity to benefit ourselves, while also seeking revenge for Mo Shan?"

Wang Lin asked, "Are you very close to Mo Shan?"

"Not really."

"Is it necessary to seek revenge for him then?"

"Well…" The beautiful woman blinked her eyes and said, "After all, we are from the same sect!"

"From the same sect?" Wang Lin smiled again and said, "There have been many fellow sect members who died at Mo Shan’s hands. If you really want revenge, he should have died long ago!"

"So, what do you mean exactly?"

Wang Lin shook his head and closed his eyes again, saying, "It’s meaningless, I just don’t want to be a pawn!"

The charming woman was puzzled, "A pawn?"

Wang Lin closed his eyes again, clearly not wanting to say more.

But the charming woman wouldn’t let him off, she continued, "Even if you don’t go kill Jiang Yun, shouldn’t you go defeat the evil spirits? You’re the leader after all, you have a responsibility to lead us out of here!"

"Look at you, it’s been so long and the vortex above your head is only a hundred feet high, I think you can probably only take me out!"

"Ah!" Wang Lin suddenly sighed heavily, opening his eyes again, "Do you know, you talk too much, your job is to watch over me, not chat with me here!"

"What did you say?"

The charming woman’s face turned cold immediately, "Wang Lin, remember your place, you’re being disrespectful, how dare you speak to me like this!"

While Wang Lin was the leader, he was only at the ninth level of Blessed Land, while she was a cultivator of the hidden realm, and even a granddaughter of an elder, much more honorable than Wang Lin.

"I don’t talk, you want me to speak, I speak, you find reasons again. Women are troublesome, better to be dead!"

As the words fell, before the charming woman could understand the meaning behind Wang Lin’s words, she felt a chill on her chest. Lowering her head, she saw Wang Lin’s hand slowly withdrawing from her chest.
