Even though the key was whether or not he could step his other foot in, he was still far ahead of countless Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
Moreover, Lin Shen was a genius. He had already achieved so much at such a young age. There was no doubt that he would advance to a cultivator master.
The next step was only a matter of time!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel amazed.
Peng Junqin, who was at the back of the crowd, had an ashen expression, and his eyes flickered with flames of envy.
He never expected that not only did Lin Shen successfully survive, but he also had to forge a spirit meridian.
Even Peng Junqin had yet to completely stabilize his cultivation stage. He was still a distance away from forging a spirit meridian.
He couldn’t stop feeling jealous of what had happened to Lin Shen.
After the spirit meridian was formed, Lin Shen’s strength reached a higher level, and his perception had also become sharper. He immediately noticed the malicious gaze coming from the back of the crowd. He turned around and met Peng Junqin’s gaze.
Peng Junqin was shocked and looked away guiltily. However, he immediately came back to his senses. Why was he afraid of Lin Shen?
Hence, he turned his head back and glared at Lin Shen without flinching.
Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled to himself. He no longer paid attention to this clown and turned to ask Xie Jingsheng about what had happened in the past few days.
What he heard made him think.
Judging from Jiang Wanying’s words before he died, the Blood Sea Sect probably still had a backup plan in the spirit cave.
However, neither he nor Xie Jingsheng had met any other Blood Sea Sect disciples in the past few days.
Lin Shen didn’t think that the Blood Sea Sect had retreated. It was more likely that its plan had reached a critical point, and they couldn’t spare manpower for the time being.
Lin Shen thought about it. The Blood Sea Sect had gone through so much trouble and even hunted them down. They could be after the spirit cave itself.
In other words, the Blood Sea Sect wanted to take the spirit cave.
To do so, the first step was to seal the entrance to the spirit cave and prevent the Nine Suns Sect from entering.
If that were the case, the entrance to the spirit cave would have long been surrounded by the Blood Sea Sect.
If they continued to move forward, they would be like lambs entering a tiger’s den.
Lin Shen’s heart sank slightly.
Seeing Lin Shen’s serious expression after hearing his words, Xie Jingsheng was puzzled and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Lin Shen told him what Jiang Wanying had said and his own guess.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
With what he had run into so far, Lin Shen was probably onto the truth.
If he were from the Blood Sea Sect and accidentally discovered a spirit cave with disciples from their sworn enemy’s sect inside, the first thing he would do would undoubtedly be to kill all the enemies, seal the entrance, and occupy the spirit cave.
“In that case, aren’t we trapped like turtles in a jar? We can’t leave the spirit cave…” A disciple from the lower house said with a pale face.
The others also looked worried.
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “That might not be the case.”
Seeing everyone turn to look at him, Lin Shen deliberated for a moment and said unhurriedly,
“When we entered the spirit cave, it was very smooth, and we didn’t encounter any obstructions. This means that the Blood Sea Sect hasn’t started sealing the entrance at that time. In other words, it shouldn’t have been long since they discovered this spirit cave!”
Xie Jingsheng’s eyes lit up. He nodded and said happily,
“That’s right! It’s not easy to seal a spirit cave. In such a short period of time, the Blood Sea Sect definitely won’t be able to mobilize enough manpower and resources to completely seal the cave. I’m guessing that they probably used an array formation to temporarily seal the entrance to prevent outsiders from entering!
“When the spirit cave opens tomorrow and the sect sees that we haven’t left for a long time, they’ll quickly realize that something is wrong. When that happens, the sect will definitely forcefully open the spirit cave and send people in to investigate. We can take the opportunity to cause trouble and cooperate with the sect. That way, we might have a chance to rush out of the spirit cave!” Xie Jingsheng’s words reignited everyone’s hope.
Everyone knew that the Blood Sea Sect must have set up an inescapable trap at the eye of the cave. It would be courting death if they wanted to break out with just their few people!
But in the end, there was still a little hope. It was better than having nothing.
“No matter what, this is only our guess. Maybe the Blood Sea Sect didn’t even have time to seal the cave eye,” Lin Shen said with a faint smile.
Even though they knew that Lin Shen was just comforting them, everyone still felt less uneasy.
No matter what, it was useless to worry now. They would know when they reached the cave eye tomorrow.
At this moment, Xie Jingsheng suddenly thought of something and asked, “Junior Brother Lin, where’s Jiang Wanying? Have you seen him these few days?”
Lin Shen was slightly stunned, then came to a realization. It turned out that Xie Jingsheng thought that he had escaped from Jiang Wanying. He immediately laughed and shook his head.
“Jiang Wanying is dead.”
Xie Jingsheng was stunned and asked subconsciously, “How did he die?”
“1 killed him.” Lin Shen’s tone was calm as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
However, those words sounded like a thunderclap in everyone else’s ears.
Lin Shen killed Jiang Wanying?!
That Jiang Wanying had intimidated nearly twenty people?
Everyone, including Xie Jingsheng, was filled with disbelief.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Shen was the one who said this, someone would have jumped out to question him..
