Chapter 360 Belief_1
At that moment, the blue-robed cultivator suddenly stopped in his tracks, forcing himself to calm down.
Then, with extreme sincerity in his tone, he shouted to Lin Tianhu who was pursuing him, "Fellow Daoist, I am Yuan Shuo!"
"The incident just now was all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Tianhu finally stopped walking, yet the distance between them was merely a hundred meters, and he could launch an attack to take Yuan's life at any moment.
At that time, Lin Tianhu let out a cold laugh, his face flashing with a hint of ruthlessness.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Daoist Yuan only speaks of misunderstandings now, but when you saw I was injured and harbored malicious intentions, why didn't you mention misunderstandings then?"
Embarrassed by these sarcastic words, Yuan Shuo hurriedly responded with a forced smile.
"What you say is true, I was possessed by folly and had ill intentions!"
"However, I now realize my mistake and only ask for a chance to live. I am willing to pay a price!"
Yuan Shuo's words made Lin Tianhu smile involuntarily.
He thought to himself that Yuan had reached a dead end with no escape, his life entirely in Lin's hands, yet he was still trying to negotiate terms.
However, now that he held the absolute advantage, it would be reasonable to first inquire about this person's identity and background, and to clarify his current whereabouts.
Whether to take his life or not could be decided after getting all the information.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianhu then asked, "Daoist Yuan, where do you hail from? And what price do you propose to pay? Feel free to tell me!"
Upon hearing this, and seeing a sign of Lin Tianhu relenting, Yuan Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he began to respond, "I am from the Yuan Family of the Foundation Establishment Clan in the Nanfeng Mountain Range, just several hundred li to the west of here lies our clan territory."
"If Fellow Daoist spares my life, I am willing to compensate with fifty thousand Spirit Stones and a Second Order Mid-tier Attack Magical Artifact, how does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianhu was startled, and deep thought crossed his mind.
"Nanfeng Mountain Range?"
In the entire Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, he had never heard of such a mountain range.
"Could it be that this is not the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World?"
At this thought, Lin Tianhu was shaken, his expression turning grim.
He had thought that even if he fell into a spatial fissure, he would still land within the territory of the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, but unexpectedly, he had been displaced far from his homeland.
Having calmed down, Lin Tianhu became impatient to ascertain his current location and which domain it was.
"Daoist Yuan, which state and which nation's territory is this?" Lin Tianhu asked bluntly.
Now it was Yuan Shuo's turn to be taken aback, and he couldn't help but speculate about Lin Tianhu's identity and how he ended up here, seemingly clueless about his current location.
However, he did not dare to ask too much, fearing it might irritate Lin Tianhu and ruin the atmosphere he had so difficultly managed to create.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a map of the central Ten Nations within Jingzhou. Take a look for yourself!"
Before he had finished speaking, Yuan Shuo flicked his sleeve, sending a water-blue map flying, which Lin Tianhu caught securely.
Lin Tianhu hurriedly opened the map and glanced at it, then his expression changed dramatically.
At this moment, he was shocked.
He guessed that the experience within the spatial fissure was brief, yet in such a short time, he had been swept away to the lands of Jingzhou, appearing right in the thriving heart of the central Ten Nations.
Yu'an Country was one of these central nations, and to be listed among them, Golden Elixir Forces must be numerous, with Foundation Establishment Powers ubiquitous.
One must know, the area of just Qingzhou alone is vast, comprising at least a hundred nations.
And in the Cultivation World, it is said that Jingzhou has an ancient history, not like the relatively brief span of a hundred thousand years that Qingzhou boasts.
Moreover, the size of Jingzhou is far greater than Qingzhou. Although the two are adjacent, their sizes are not on the same scale.
By his conservative estimate, this place is at least several hundred nations apart from the distant Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.
Now, finding himself inexplicably far from his clan, returning home in a short amount of time became an impossibility.
In such a region where the Immortal Path thrives, with his current level of cultivation power, he would at the very least need to reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm to have some ability to protect himself.
Only then could he use the large Teleportation Formation between Qingzhou and Jingzhou to return to Qingzhou.
Even back in Qingzhou, reaching the central regions, those powerful nations might not necessarily have a Teleportation Formation that leads directly to the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.
Thus, in order to return to the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, he would have to spend time improving his cultivation and then devote a lot of time to traveling.
It could be said that his journey home was destined to be difficult and full of endless dangers.
Yet, despite this, Lin Tianhu still worried about the safety of his clan and was unwavering in his resolve to return.
After a long while, Lin Tianhu gradually calmed down, clearly understanding that the road home was long.
Without the protection of his clan elders, he had to rely on himself, with enhancing his cultivation being the most pressing matter, and only then could he consider returning home.
Realizing this, Lin Tianhu was unusually calm, a calmness beyond the ordinary.
And at that moment, seeing Lin Tianhu's face alternating between pale and flushed, Yuan Shuo guessed that he might be a Loose Cultivator who had somehow arrived at this place.
Otherwise, he would not have been so shocked upon receiving news of where he was.
At this moment, after much thought, Yuan Shuo felt less wary of Lin Tianhu.
After all, someone who finds himself in a strange land, unless they are highly skilled in cultivation, would not likely seek to make enemies everywhere.
