Chapter III Odd Fate

"Did you eat it?"

"..."

"How old are you?"

"..."

"Do you love me?"

"..."

After Lin Han's friendly exchange, that ball of jade-green spiritual energy finally reacted, giving Lin Han a sense of relief. After all, he did not waste his energy. However, when Lin Han saw that ball of jade-green spiritual energy, he silently retreated backwards, as if he held Lin Han in contempt.

Lin Han was speechless, he then scratched his nose in embarrassment and started to communicate with the Jade Spirit Qi again.

"Hahahaha, little doll, you sure are fun!" Lin Han, who was engrossed in friendly conversation, suddenly heard a burst of laughter. He quickly opened his eyes and looked around.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Han subconsciously frowned.

"Could it be that I heard wrong? That's impossible!" Lin Han muttered softly.

"Kid, are you looking for me?" Suddenly, there was another sound.

Lin Han looked around and saw that there was still no one around. Following which, Lin Han seemed to have noticed something as he stared intently at the Jade Spirit Stone in the middle of the stone platform.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Lin Han shouted at the stone platform. At the same time, his heart began to churn. Just who was it that had sneaked into the village without his father and grandfather knowing? He would know the news of the jade-green spirit stones in the village, and once it was leaked out, it would bring a great disaster to the village.

At this moment, the jade spirit stone suddenly flickered with a faint light. Slowly, a shadow appeared above the jade spirit stone and slowly solidified.

"Are you even human? Is it a ghost? " Upon seeing this scene, Lin Han was shocked and he could not help but ask the mysterious man.

"Humph!" "Of course I'm human. Ignorant little child, this is an illusory spiritual body, just a way to protect my life." The mysterious man snorted at Lin Han, his tone filled with disdain.

"Then who are you, and why are you here?" Upon hearing that it was a person, Lin Han heaved a sigh of relief. When he saw the jade stone hidden beneath the shadow, he started to get nervous.

"Sigh... "Kid, are you willing to listen to my story?" Hearing Lin Han's question, the mysterious man let out a long sigh and asked Lin Han.

What's the point of me not listening? Lin Han muttered in his heart, of course, he couldn't say it on the surface. Looking at his appearance, he should be some expert of some sort.

"Alright, senior, just tell me. I like to listen to stories the most. When I was young, I loved to listen to stories …" Lin Han's face was full of smiles as he spoke to the mysterious man. However, halfway through, the mysterious man glanced at him and shut his mouth!

The mysterious man glanced at Lin Han before starting to narrate his story.

"Roughly a hundred years ago, there was a sect called the Baiji Sect. This sect was very powerful and governed more than a dozen countries. Every ten years, it would recruit a group of disciples from nearby countries.

It just so happens that they managed to recruit three genius disciples in one year. There were two men and one woman. The three of them had excellent results as they entered the sect.

Similarly, the three of them received great support from the sect during their cultivation. "Since they're all martial dao geniuses, there must be endless spars between them." As he spoke to here, the mysterious man sighed. It seemed that he was reminiscing about the past.

"Amongst the three of them, eldest senior brother's talent is the most astonishing.

When the Second Martial Brother and the Junior Martial Sister saw that their Eldest Martial Brother was already a step ahead of them and had already entered the Divine Realm, they were naturally extremely unwilling. Thus, the two of them often studied martial arts together.

After some time, the Second Martial Brother and the Junior Martial Sister both entered a state of trance. At the same time, they announced their relationship. This news naturally made the Eldest Martial Brother, who secretly liked the Junior Martial Sister, extremely angry.

However, what made him even more desperate was that something seemed to have gone wrong with his cultivation. His strength had actually stopped at the early stage of Spirit Traveling. No matter how much he cultivated, his cultivation realm did not increase at all.

Seeing the increasing cultivation base of his second junior brother and youngest junior sister, and seeing the sweet affection between the two, the eldest senior brother felt extremely unwilling.

A trace of jealousy and disgust soon appeared in his heart. His cultivation could not grow, but he did not tell anyone else that he was still the genius eldest senior brother in the outside world.

Thus, he proposed to the sect that he should go out and train himself. The sect didn't mind and allowed him to venture out.

One year later, eldest senior brother happily returned to the sect and together they returned to his middle stage Spirit Travelling Technique. At this point, the mysterious man paused for a moment, a trace of helplessness and disappointment flashing across his eyes before he continued narrating …

"With the return of the Eldest Senior Brother, the prideful and arrogant Second Junior Brother who has also broken through to the middle stage of the Divine Tribulations has already found a target to surpass.

One day, the Second Junior Brother felt that his martial arts had improved, and wanted to find the Eldest Brother to spar with him to verify his martial arts.

He then left his residence and walked towards the room where his eldest senior brother was. Before entering his eldest senior brother's room, his second junior brother had felt a faint trace of black gas in front of his eldest senior brother's door. However, at that time, his second junior brother's mind was only focused on his own martial arts and did not care about these.

When the Second Junior Brother walked into the room with the Eldest Senior Brother, he saw the Eldest Senior Brother lying on the floor, emitting a black aura and a pained expression.

Seeing the Eldest Senior Brother like this, the pupils of the Second Junior Brother on the side slightly contracted. He recognized that this black gas was a characteristic unique to demon cultivation techniques. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the elder senior brother that he had always admired and looked just like a righteous man could actually cultivate demon techniques.

Then, he thought of the seriousness of the situation. He wanted to inform the elders of the sect and let them make their decision.

When his eldest senior brother saw his second junior brother, he immediately climbed in front of him and tugged at his pants, begging him to help him.

Second Junior Brother felt his heart soften as he looked at the struggling Eldest Senior Brother. He thought about the friendship between fellow brothers in the past few years, and then he walked up to Eldest Senior Brother and began to channel spiritual power into his body to help him suppress the demonic energy.

Who knew that the devil martial skill was so tyrannical that only after almost all of the spiritual energy in his second junior brother's body was used up, he was barely able to suppress the scattered demon qi. He had already used up more than half of it.

Seeing his eldest senior brother's recovery, the second junior brother wanted to walk out, but at this moment, the eldest senior brother suddenly opened his eyes. The spiritual light in his hand turned into a knife and stabbed into the second junior brother's chest, crushing his heart.

Even if his body was damaged, he could still survive by relying on his soul for a period of time. Before his second junior brother could react, the eldest senior brother had already used his soul power to attack him.

Soul power battles were even more dangerous than spirit power battles. One was bad, but to the two, one was completely prepared while the other was flustered. The result was that the second junior brother's soul power instantly collapsed.

The Eldest Senior Brother had also suffered some serious injuries during this fight, but he clearly knew about his own cultivation technique, so what would the consequences be if word of it got out?

He then forcefully used his heavily injured soul power to continue attacking his second junior brother, wanting to destroy his soul.

At this critical moment, the Second Martial Brother ruthlessly burned a large portion of his spiritual energy and used a forbidden technique. Only after escaping millions of miles away did he manage to stay alive, but because the side effects of the forbidden technique were too strong, the Second Martial Brother had no choice but to find a nearby place with pure spiritual energy to recover from his injuries.

After searching for a while, he finally found a jade spirit stone and attached it to his body, using the power of the jade spirit stone to nourish himself. Then, the shadow stopped and looked at Lin Han.

At this point, Lin Han finally understood the origin of the shadow, and he sighed in his heart. He never thought that he would experience something like this, but on second thought, if he did not have such an experience, he would not have been reduced to such a state …
