Chapter 2285 - 2288: Qin Tian Must Die!

"Qin Tian, did I hit the mark? Hehe, someone in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect did the same before, and in the end, it only harmed themselves. If you lack strength and are caught cheating in the Spring Martial Arts Competition by the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, not only you but also Wang Tianqing will be implicated and punished!"

Wang Ping retracted the Immortal Sword in her hand and laughed, "Don't think that Wang Tianqing is the chief elder, he's just a figurehead. As long as we catch something on you, both you and your master are done for!"

Qin Tian shot a glare at Wang Ping, this despicable woman, how she rambles.

Noting that Lu Tianlin and Guo Yunxiu had already killed the other snake demons and were approaching, Qin Tian just glanced at Chen Bo and Wang Ping without saying a word.

This clown isn't worth engaging with, when a dog bites you, there's no need for you to bite back, it's not worth it.

He knew that during this journey, Lu Tianlin, Chen Bo, and Wang Ping would definitely target him throughout, and perhaps even harbor murderous intentions.

But, he didn't regard Chen Bo and Wang Ping as threats; the real opponent was Lu Tianlin.

Earlier, Qin Tian had seen that during the fight against the not-so-powerful snake demon, Lu Tianlin's prowess with the Platinum Immortal Sword was formidable, fluid, and powerful. There was no doubt that facing him would not be easy for Qin Tian.

Moreover, this was just when Lu Tianlin had obtained the Platinum Immortal Sword; with time, he would become even harder to deal with.

"Qin Tian, are you treating my words like a breeze past your ear?"

After the battle, Lu Tianlin eyed Qin Tian, grudgingly saying, "I said all matters will be arranged by me, no talking allowed. When that snake demon appeared, why did you yell?"

"You're the least experienced here, you have the least right to speak! This is the only time; don't make an example out of speaking randomly again, heed my command and be careful!"

After delivering his high-handed lesson, Lu Tianlin turned and left, with Chen Bo and Wang Ping following.

Guo Yunxiu advised Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, Senior Brother Lu's temper is notoriously bad in Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, coupled with the fact that his master and your master have always been arch-enemies, you'll definitely suffer losses this time. Bear with it, don't take it to heart."

Qin Tian nodded, "I won't, let's go, Senior Sister."

Though he said he wouldn't, inside, Qin Tian had already put the three of Lu Tianlin on his hit list.

This was just the beginning, and they were already targeting him non-stop. As they continue into Tianfang Demon Cave, these three wouldn't let him off. They might even set a trap to make Qin Tian "accidentally" die, taking the opportunity to vent for Mo Ziyang and Li Tianxuan.

With the temperament of these three, they are sure to harbor murderous intent towards Qin Tian.

Since that's the case, Qin Tian cannot sit back and wait for death; he needs to take the initiative.

Otherwise, if he waits for them to make a move, he would be too passive on his own.

...

"Senior Brother Lu, before we set off, my master gave me a few words of advice regarding Qin Tian..."

In front, as Lu Tianlin walked alone, Chen Bo caught up with him and spoke softly.

"My master asked me to eliminate Qin Tian whenever possible, saying to cooperate with Senior Brother Lu..."

He looked around and whispered, "This person is Wang Tianqing's disciple, he must not be allowed to rise under Wang Tianqing's name; otherwise, with Wang Tianqing's wings intact, he would pose a threat to Elder Mo..."

"Senior Brother Lu."

Before Lu Tianlin could speak, Wang Ping came up too, seeing both Lu Tianlin and Chen Bo silent, she probed, "Are the two Senior Brothers discussing Qin Tian? Was it also instructed by your masters before we left?"

Lu Tianlin slowly said, "It seems my master told you the same thing as well, humph, for a trifling Qin Tian, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? My master is making a big fuss about nothing."

Chen Bo laughed, "Indeed, next time we find a chance, let's team up to kill Qin Tian, or rather, with just a wave of Senior Brother Lu's hand, Qin Tian would die... It's just that Guo Yunxiu is truly an obstacle. If she sees it and it spreads in Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, it'd be troublesome."

"If you fear Guo Yunxiu seeing, why not eliminate her too?"

Wang Ping's eyes flashed a murderous glint, "After all, we are out here to gain experience. When did anyone during an outing not get hurt? Not die? I remember dozens of Inner Sect Disciples die annually during these excursions... It's easy to explain if Qin Tian and Guo Yunxiu die during an outing, right?"

Wang Ping said this with a sly smile, "Besides, Elder Mo presides over the Immortal Sect. Even if Wang Tianqing suspects something, he wouldn't dare say much, bearing the burden silently, hehe."

"Guo Yunxiu's master is neutral, though somewhat inclined towards my master, there's no need to kill her unless necessary."

Lu Tianlin calmly said, "Can you two handle killing Qin Tian together?"

"Yes."

Chen Bo and Wang Ping answered in unison.

"Just like Qin Tian struggled so much to kill a snake earlier, hehe, there's no need for us to join forces; I can kill him myself without any problem."

Chen Bo confidently stated.

Wang Ping also said, "Though Qin Tian was hiding some strength earlier, hehe, thinking I couldn't see through it. Does he even need to hide it with that level of cultivation? Isn't he just at the Ascension Stage High Stage? Humph, I'm already at the Ascension Stage Peak, killing him is just too easy."

"If so, then I'll leave Qin Tian to the two of you, while I distract Guo Yunxiu."

Lu Tianlin whispered.

...

The five continued deeper into the Tianfang Demon Cave, where massive bat demons frequently soared across the sky in flocks, adding to the sinister atmosphere within the cave.

"Ahead are two Demon Caves, considering the low-level monsters we encountered earlier, we'll split into two groups to practice separately. Use the purple flare as a signal, should anything happen. If we can't reach each other, reconvene three days later at noon below the cliff of the mountain face in front."

Lu Tianlin stopped, turned, and scanned Qin Tian and the others, saying, "I'll go with Guo Yunxiu to that cave over there, Chen Bo, take Wang Ping and Qin Tian to the other side."

Chen Bo's lips curled into a slight smile as he nodded, "Yes, Senior Brother."

"Remember, when encountering monsters, strike swiftly and decisively. Do not have any compassion or mercy," Lu Tianlin said.

"Understood."

Exchanging a glance with Lu Tianlin, the five split into two groups, heading in different directions.

Just then, Qin Tian noticed the look between Lu Tianlin and Chen Bo; he wasn't foolish and had sensed something was off.

Sure enough, after splitting up, Chen Bo and Wang Ping remained silent as they led Qin Tian into a distant area, seemingly intending to take him to an isolated place.
