"They must be disciples from a major family within the City of Celestial Wolves!
"However, their strength hasn’t reached the peak period’s standard, at most they can only be comparable to the Martial Monarch Realm!"
"No matter what, they are no match for me!"
"This matter is over for now, I’ll settle accounts with them if I see them again in the future!"
Lin Yi thought to himself.
"Huh? There’s still a human aura here!"
"Could it be that this little beast had just entered this cave dwelling and was being chased by humans?"
Suddenly, a young man dressed in black entered the cave, his face revealing a mocking smile. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
His eyes were full of playfulness, looking at Lin Yi with amusement and scorn.
"Kid, you’ve got some nerve, daring to break into Myriad Ghosts Cave alone, and even daring to cultivate here. I really wonder where you got such courage from," the young man said, looking at Lin Yi coldly.
Hearing the youth’s mockery, Lin Yi did not speak.
Within the depths of his eyes, however, a cold light burst forth.
"Who are you?" Lin Yi asked.
He could feel that the young man before him carried the aura of a Martial Venerable, but because the distance was a bit far, he couldn’t determine the other party’s exact strength.
"Hehe, who am I? You’re not qualified to know!" the young man said with a mischievous curve to his lips.
"Oh?"
"Then where did you pop up from?" Lin Yi retorted.
"That’s none of your concern!" the young man replied impatiently, waving his hand. "I’m telling you, you’d better not have any ideas, or else I’ll make your life worse than death!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head slightly, his face showing indifference, "Since you’re unwilling to speak, then, I will have to explore on my own!"
With that, Lin Yi’s figure moved and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
"What?"
"How is he able to move?"
"No good, everyone be cautious, his speed is too fast, we can’t block him!"
"Run away quickly, his speed is truly terrifying!"
Seeing Lin Yi suddenly vanish, everyone panicked, all scrambling to flee in every direction.
Lin Yi, however, ignored them and continued to rush forward, arriving at a huge stone platform after a short while.
This stone platform was conical in shape, at least thirty feet tall, and engraved with peculiar patterns.
"What kind of formation is this?"
"How could such a thing exist!"
"This formation, it absolutely isn’t made by someone from this world!"
Lin Yi gazed at the stone platform before him, his face showing astonishment.
The stone walls around the platform were covered with various formation patterns, as if containing the secrets of heaven and earth.
"Hmm?"
"The material of this stone platform looks very similar to..."
After closely inspecting for a moment, Lin Yi’s face suddenly revealed an ecstatic expression: "Heavenly Spirit Stone!"
This huge stone platform, astonishingly, was made up of fist-sized Heavenly Spirit Stones, and from these stones, there was even an indistinct strong spiritual energy fluctuation, emanating from them, stirring waves in Lin Yi’s heart.
"Hahaha, Heavenly Spirit Stone, I, Lin Yi, have finally found you!"
"This time, I must absorb all these Heavenly Spirit Stones!"
Lin Yi laughed heartily, then sat directly on the stone platform, beginning to frantically absorb the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Spirit Stones.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice came from afar: "I didn’t expect this little beast to be able to resist the erosion of those evil insects within the Myriad Ghosts Cave, and, it seems, he’s actually absorbing the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Spirit Stones!"
"Hmph, I refuse to believe he can withstand the attack of Myriad Ghosts Cave. These evil insects are treasures of our Blood Moon Sect; how could we allow you, a lowlife, to absorb them arbitrarily?"
"This lowlife must die!"
The sinister voice echoed piercingly in the cave.
They reached the area shortly after.
"Hmm? How is he not dead?"
The young man’s face flickered with surprise upon seeing the scene before him.
"You lot, go grab him for me, all the Heavenly Spirit Stones here will be yours!" the young man commanded, waving his hand toward the people beside him.
"Yes, Captain!"
Stirred by the words, their faces all showed excitement, their eyes shining brightly, almost lunging at Lin Yi immediately.
"Hmm? You lot, piss off!"
Suddenly, the young man’s expression changed drastically, glaring at the few black-robed young men by his side.
"Yes!"
The black-robed young men nodded repeatedly and scurried away.
"Damn, this lowlife is actually this powerful? However, this is the Myriad Ghosts Cave; I really want to see how capable he actually is!"
"This time, let’s see where you can run to!"
The young man sneered coldly.
Then, his expression abruptly darkened, and he transformed into a cloud of pitch-black mist, charging violently towards Lin Yi.
"You little rascal, how dare you sabotage my plan, I’ll make sure you suffer every torture Myriad Ghosts Cave has to offer!"
"You lowlife, after I tear you to pieces, then I’ll absorb those Heavenly Spirit Stones!"
"By then, my strength will surely increase significantly!"
The young man sneered viciously, a ferocious glint in his eyes.
The next moment, his body had already appeared behind Lin Yi, reaching out with both hands lunging for Lin Yi’s head.
This claw was incredibly fast, carrying a fierce wind with it!
However, at that moment, Lin Yi’s body vanished abruptly from his spot, reappearing behind the young man.
"Hmm? What kind of skill is this?"
The young man was taken aback.
Yet the next moment, his neck was seized by a pair of hands.
"You..."
Seeing this turn of events, his face was instantly filled with horror!
"How can you possibly be this fast!"
"My speed has already surpassed the sound barrier!"
"Could it be that in this world, there really exists someone faster than the sound barrier?"
The young man exclaimed in shock.
However, Lin Yi paid no attention to the young man’s cry of astonishment, and with a slight force of his right hand, he twisted the young man’s head to one side. At the same time, his fingers curled slightly, firmly grasping the young man’s throat.
"Gurgle~"
The sound of a throat constricting reverberated.
Lin Yi’s gaze was extremely cold, staring at the young man in front of him: "What did you just say?"
"No, no..."
The young man’s eyes showed extreme fear, frothing at the mouth, struggling fiercely, a sheer terror surfacing on his face.
His cultivation was not bad, but it was far inferior to Lin Yi’s; a mere slap from Lin Yi could burst his head.
At this time, Lin Yi’s face bore a cruel, cold smile.
"This is the death you sought yourself!"
"Since you wanted to kill me, then bear the consequences first!"
"Bang!"
With those words, Lin Yi unleashed a palm strike directly onto the young man’s forehead.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound echoed, and the young man lay there stiffly on the ground.
