Chapter 878 (Vol 3) – Burning The Bridge After Crossing

"There are quite a few people!"

Mio Yidans shocked voice quickly rang out.

After walking for a while longer, Ling Tian, Shang Moyu and the others had arrived at the small abandoned and destroyed village. People of different ages were quickly arriving at this place, meeting up with their other fellows or looking for some specific place.

However, they soon realized that their illusions might be destined not to be fulfilled, as they could sense powerful auras belonging to the foundation establishment state and even some golden core stages.

"Its normal to have people in these kinds of places. Once the news about some spiritual treasure or an inheritance of some expert spreads, everyone will come to try their luck... even the great experts would not pass up these opportunities."

Ling Tian nodded reassuringly to the stunned Mio Yidan, unable to help but pat her small head before pausing and smiling somewhat helplessly, withdrawing his hand.

The tendency Ling Tian had for stroking and patting the heads of his little female disciples seemed to have become a habit, as it was first with Lan Yin and Qing Sha, followed by Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu not too long ago, and now Mio Yidan with her childish and still innocent behavior reminded Ling Tian about his little female disciples and unconsciously patting her head.

Mio Yidan froze when she felt Ling Tians hand pat her head, feeling somewhat strange and weird at the same time as it was the first time, with many mixed feelings. But the next moment she couldnt help but blush, feeling her little heart beating furiously as shyness came over her.

"It seems that up ahead they are meeting. Lets go see." Shang Moyu quickly noticed the commotion up ahead, so he turned to look at the others.

"Alright!"

"Lets go!"

Chang Yi and the others nodded without hesitation. Even though it seemed impossible to succeed in having the spiritual treasures of this place with so many people, they still didnt want to give up.

"You guys go, I have some business to attend to..."

Ling Tian stopped and he gazed in a certain direction.

"Huh?"

Shang Moyu and the others were surprised to hear Ling Tian, stopping their steps instantly.

"Its okay, senior brother Ling! Thank you for everything!"

However, Shang Moyu quickly cupped his fists and waved goodbye to Ling Tian, showing him respect with a hint of thanks.

The others also bid farewell to Ling Tian. Ling Tians company was pleasant and lifted their spirits, but they still remembered their main mission.

Ling Tian would probably also try to find his friends or sect fellows.

Mio Yidan looked at Ling Tian somewhat reluctantly before following beside Chang Yi and walking with the others, turning her head from time to time to look at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian watched them leave quietly, waving his hand slightly before looking in the same direction as a few moments ago.

"This kid is already half step from reaching the golden core..." Ling Tian whispered lightly before disappearing without leaving a trace behind.

Moving through space, Ling Tian controlled the space principle with ease, advancing dozens of meters in moments.

"Sister, do you trust me?" The boy looked at the girl next to him, asking her in a low voice.

The girl looked at him and without hesitation she nodded firmly.

He only had one chance to escape from this place with his sister, but he had to be close to the golden core cultivator in order to do so.

"Hey! What do you mean by this, senior brother?!"

At once, another girls voice was heard, attracting the attention of the boy and the girl beside him.

The young girl who looked to be about 16 years old as well, with a heroic yet firm and powerful spirit, as well as a pretty countenance and graceful posture, had a dazed expression and she quickly stared in disbelief and somewhat angrily at her martial brother.

"Keep quiet! This is a matter between men! Women must remain silent!" The golden core cultivator yelled grimly as he walked to the boy, he expelled his aura gradually wanting to crush him.

"No! They were the ones who found the map and I was the one who convinced them to allow all of us to come, since we didnt know how dangerous it would be!" The 16 year old girl still shook her head and stood between the boy and her senior martial brother, finally expelling her aura.

The aura that this 16-year-old girl expelled belonged to that of a cultivator at the foundation establishment peak stage. But the aura she expelled was somewhat more powerful than expected, quickly reaching the boundary of the golden core stage.

Everyone else was stunned as they sensed this martial sisters aura, as well as the golden core cultivator, sensing a slight threat from this girls who is much younger than him.

When had this junior martial sister become so strong?

Wasnt she just a cultivator in the foundation establishment early stage?

How is it that she can give him a small death threat?

But its useless, as long as she didnt reach the golden core stage she would remain below him.

"Get out of my way!" The golden core cultivator shouted darkly. His aura flowed stronger, suppressing his martial sister.

The others had enclosed them in a circle to prevent them from escaping, forcing them with their auras to move towards the edge where the abyss was. While at the same time they watched with various expressions full of delight and derision.

"No!" The 16-year-old girl yelled stubbornly as she tried to resist the overwhelming pressure from her senior martial brother, "They promised me that we could have the half if we just went along with them, so you dont have to do this!"

"Are you stupid? How can you let a couple of mere ants have half of the whole treasure while we are more than them and stronger? If you dont get out of my way I wont hesitate to kill you even though we are from the same sect!" The golden core cultivator coldly glared with murderous intent at his junior martial sister, "Besides, its most likely the legacy of the immortal goddess of life! If we can get it before everyone else and make it ours, then our cultivation will skyrocket tremendously and well be stronger!"

The 16-year-old girl was stunned to see her senior brothers expression, realizing that he would really kill her if she didnt move, expressing his greed and cruelty. She looked back at the pair of siblings with whom she got along very well and who had saved her from death more than once, but smiled somewhat sadly at them, moving her lips silently and expressing forgiveness.

"I always had a suspicion that you werent the respectable, ideal senior brother everyone said you were in the sect!" The girl gritted her teeth and expelled her aura with all her energies, quickly surpassing the golden cores aura and rivaling her senior brothers aura a bit.

The senior brother gritted his teeth as the threat of danger and death intensified further, realizing that this girl younger than him had the power to kill him.

"I have only respected and followed you all this time because my master asked me to! And Ive even helped you in giving you the spiritual treasures Ive obtained sometimes to make you stronger!"

"But now I confirmed what kind of man you are! And you are nothing but trash!"

"If you want to kill them, then you will have to kill me and step over my corpse!"
