Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 482: Chapter 179 Jin Clan Brothers

Lin Jing then took two steps forward, gently stroked Li Qingqing’s head, like a big brother, and revealed a warm smile. He said to Li Qingqing,

“Qingqing, there’s no need to worry…”

“There are not many places I could be trapped. Look, I’m fine and have already come back…”

However…

Faced with Lin Jing’s gesture, Li Qingqing inexplicably froze and then quickly lowered her head, her ears turning red with a “whoosh”…

Then, she softly uttered a “hmm”…

After this, Lin Jing did not respond for a long time.

Li Qingqing immediately became puzzled, quickly raised her head, and looked at Lin Jing.

She saw Lin Jing looking up into the distance, his brow slightly furrowed.

Li Qingqing couldn’t help asking with confusion,

“Brother Lin Jing, what has happened?”

Lin Jing nodded, saying,

“Someone else is coming…”

“If I’m not mistaken, this time, it should be ‘unwelcome guests’…”

……

Yue Qi’s mother and Lin Jue had just come out when they saw Zhang Jian, who had just arrived above Li Yan Island.

Upon seeing Yue Qi’s mother, Zhang Jian frowned and asked,

“Fellow Yue, why have you opened the defensive array?”

“You must know that the Jin brothers might come at any time. If the array isn’t there to protect us, they’ll charge directly into the city, and by then, no one will be able to stop them.”

Yue Qi’s mother replied,

“I’ll close the array in a moment…”

“Oh, by the way…”

“Fellow Zhang, you came rushing over. Is there something wrong?”

Zhang Jian no longer mentioned the defensive array, instead, he excitedly blurted out,

“They’ve come out, they have all come out…”

Zhang Jian’s sudden statement confused Yue Qi’s mother.

“What has come out? Exactly who has come out?”

“Be clear…” Yue Qi’s mother said.

Zhang Jian hurriedly explained,

“Those who attended the trade fair, they have come out…”

“Lin, Brother Lin, he might have come out with them.”

Yue Qi’s mother continued to press,

“Are you certain, has the Island Master come out?”

Zhang Jian was startled for a moment, then somewhat sheepishly said,

“I think so…”

“After receiving this news, I thought to immediately inform you all. I forgot to ask anything else and just came straight here…”

Yue Qi’s mother was speechless…

However.

She could understand.

Initially, Lin Jing had gone to the trade fair with Zhang Jian.

Furthermore, it was Zhang Jian who had insisted on Lin Jing accompanying him.

But with that one trip, Lin Jing had been dragged into a conspiracy, while Zhang Jian, by some stroke of luck, had managed to escape.

Therefore.

Over these years, Zhang Jian had constantly been racked with guilt.

During these years, Zhang Jian had been always seeking news about Lin Jing. Any slight clue led her to go check it out personally.

In this time, she had fostered countless hopes, only to be met with disappointment time and again.

It was precisely because of his guilt towards Lin Jing.

That Zhang Jian was particularly concerned about Flame Island’s affairs.

Even going to the extent of helping Flame Island repel those who harbored ill-intentions towards Fang Market multiple times.

Even when facing the Jin brothers, Zhang Jian, knowing he was no match, did not shrink back, and if it weren’t for Li Tangyu, Zhang Jian would have probably suffered more than just injuries.

……

Yue Qi’s mother thought of Zhang Jian’s past actions and felt a tinge of compassion. She was just about to reveal the news about Lin Jing.

But just at that moment…

From afar, a deep and rough voice came…

“How is it?”

“Does the cowardly Island Master of Li Yan Island finally dare to come out?”

“This time, he has even opened the defensive array.”

“Hahaha…”

“Now, the whole Li Yan Island is ours…”

As this voice sounded, two figures appeared on the distant horizon.

Riding their flying swords at high speed, flying towards here.

Zhang Jian’s face changed drastically when he saw the two figures.

“Quick, activate the defensive array…” Zhang Jian urged urgently.

However, Yue Qi’s mother made no movement.

Zhang Jian, however, hadn’t noticed Yue Qi’s wife’s actions; he was intently watching the two figures that were rapidly approaching from ahead…

Upon seeing the two people swiftly nearing Li Yan Island, Zhang Jian’s face instantly darkened:

“Forget it, no need…”

Because by that time, those two had already crossed the perimeter of the defensive array and entered Li Yan Island.

Very soon.

The two of them arrived in front of Zhang Jian and Yue Qi’s wife amongst others.

“Zhang Jian…”

“What, do you still intend to be the hero today?”

Zhang Jian frowned deeply, facing the two immensely arrogant figures before him.

These two men had similar features—thick eyebrows, large eyes, and beards—along with equally stern gazes.

At the moment, their stern looks also carried arrogance, and with a disdainful glance at Zhang Jian, they spoke:

“Your wounds from last time haven’t healed yet, but you still want to play the hero. It seems you don’t take us brothers seriously.”

Facing the two brothers’ aggressive stance, Zhang Jian’s expression grew solemn as he said:

“Jin Jue, your arrogance knows no bounds. Don’t tell me you really believe that no one can handle the two of you?”

“Hahaha…” Jin Jue and Jin’Ao burst into wild laughter.

“Just the few of you?”

“Besides those Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Thousand Islands Domain, we brothers have yet to meet our match.”

“And let me tell you, when we brothers join forces, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator can fight toe to toe with us.”

Actually, they weren’t wrong in their claim.

Both of them were at the Golden Core Peak in cultivation, and they had also cultivated a joint offensive technique.

When deployed together, their cultivation levels would stack, effectively rivaling that of the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was because of their unique joint cultivation technique that they dared to speak so boldly.

Last time, they could fend off the two because of Li Tangyu’s unpredictable demonic techniques, with Zhang Jian lending a hand on the side and other Golden Core Cultivators from Li Yan Island forming an array in support.

That’s how they managed to drive the two away.

Now, with Li Tangyu absent, it was clear that on Li Yan Island, there was nobody they feared.

……

Facing the aggressive Jin brothers, Zhang Jian’s frown deepened.

Yet, he never took a step back.

Seeing this, Jin Jue snorted coldly and said:

“Hmph!”

“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say…”

Having said that, Jin Jue, along with Jin’Ao, simultaneously brought out their magical treasures.

Although Zhang Jian was still injured, he had no intention of retreating and also summoned his flying sword, standing off against the two brothers.

At this tense moment.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Zhang Jian, a hand landing on his shoulder all at once.

At the same time, a voice reached Zhang Jian’s ears:

“Brother Zhang…”

“You take a rest first; leave these two to me.”

Caught up in the standoff with the Jin brothers, Zhang Jian was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure.

Instinctively, he wanted to command his flying sword to attack.

But then, the familiar voice resounded, and Zhang Jian was instantly filled with excitement.

He quickly turned, looking incredulously at the suddenly appearing Lin Jing, exclaiming with surprise:

“Brother Lin, you…”

“You’re still alive…”

Zhang Jian, who would usually remain silent, was now making a shockingly bold statement.

Any touch of emotion Lin Jing might have felt instantly vanished within that utterance.

With a full head of black lines, Lin Jing then said:

“Yes…”

“I’m still alive. You’re not fully recovered; rest up for now, and let me handle these two.”

After speaking, Lin Jing turned his head to look at the opposing Jin Jue and Jin’Ao brothers.

Zhang Jian, his attention thoroughly absorbed by the Jin brothers, was unclear about Lin Jing’s arrival.

But the Jin brothers saw everything clearly.

They watched as Lin Jing suddenly appeared beside Zhang Jian.

Yes, just appeared out of nowhere.

And Lin Jing, without commanding any magical treasure, managed to stand in mid-air.

That instantly put the brothers on alert.

Furthermore, they couldn’t detect any trace of cultivation from Lin Jing.

There were only two possibilities for such a situation.

One, the other party practiced a cultivation technique that could hide their cultivation level.

The second, the other party’s cultivation was far higher than theirs, and if they didn’t want to be seen, naturally, they would remain unseen.

However, judging by Lin Jing’s demeanor since his appearance,

it was quite clear that the second possibility was the likely one.

Jin Jue and Jin’Ao, no longer sporting their previous arrogance, became cautious…
