After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Jiang Lin sneered inwardly.

This woman was definitely up to no good.

However, if we can take this opportunity to get rid of this most troublesome woman, it will save us some trouble.

Wu Meier probably doesn't know that Zhang Lengyu has already told Jiang Lin about her character and personality in detail.

This witch's spiritual power attribute is wind. Although she usually seeks out men to invite her to cultivate together, her real purpose is to target the spiritual thoughts of those men.

Her technique is very special.

It seems to be able to devour the spiritual thoughts of others.

Almost every man who gets close to Wu Meier will inexplicably encounter trouble.

Now that Wu Meier has expressed interest in Jiang Lin, the meaning is self-evident.

As for the two men that Wu Meier mentioned dealing with, Jiang Lin had previously noticed that the two men, who were in the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm, had a fleeting look of greed and lust in their eyes when they looked at Tao Yi and the other two.

Although these three were his female slaves, he would not allow anyone else to touch them. Therefore, he would have to confront them sooner or later in this Spirit Essence Pool.

Since Wu Meier has come to us of her own accord, we can use her to ignite this conflict.

Therefore, Jiang Lin remained expressionless and simply uttered two words: "Okay."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Wu Meier's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness and contempt.

In her view, although Jiang Lin was somewhat resistant to her seductive voice, he was captivated by her beauty.

This is a good opportunity to take advantage of.

On the surface, Jiang Lin and Wu Meier entrusted the snake with a false identity, but in reality, Jiang Lin had already used his spiritual sense to transmit his plan to Tao Yi and the other two.

"Wait for my orders and prepare to act. Target: Wu Meier." Jiang Lin's voice echoed in Ling Xue and Zhang Lengyu's minds.

The three women were startled.

On the surface, he still kept his eyes closed and his breathing steady, but in reality, he had already pushed his spiritual power to its limit.

Seeing Jiang Lin nod, Wu Meier no longer hesitated. She quietly took half a step back, her eyes slightly lowered.

With the Immortal Charm Technique operating at full power, spiritual energy surged forth like a tidal wave, transforming into an invisible giant python of spiritual energy.

The two men should have been wary, but this was their first time cultivating with spiritual essence, and the exhilarating experience made them subconsciously become careless.

Until the giant serpent of spiritual energy coiled around one of the men, the man trembled all over, and his spiritual energy seemed to see something extremely beautiful.

But then his face turned deathly pale. He tried to call for help, but found that he couldn't even move a finger.

Because Wu Meier's giant serpent of spiritual energy had completely bound him, a cruel smile curled at the corner of her lips as she clenched her fists and simultaneously activated her spiritual power and spiritual energy.

The giant python of spiritual energy suddenly tightened!

It swallowed the man whole.

"puff!"

The man spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes filled with unbelievable terror. His body went limp and he collapsed into the pool. His spiritual consciousness was disappearing at an alarming rate, and he soon died.

Almost at the same instant Wu Meier made her move, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes!

"Let's do it!"

With a loud shout, Jiang Lin suddenly stood up.

The Shattering Star Bow instantly appeared in his hand.

He didn't shoot at the other man, but instead aimed the cold arrow at Wu Meier!

Thunderous spiritual power surged in wildly, and nine Shattering Star Arrows condensed and took shape, their violent aura causing the pool water to boil!

"Nine Arrows of Meteor Shower!"

Nine bolts of lightning, each carrying an aura of destruction, tore through the air and hurtled straight toward Wu Meier's face!

Wu Meier's expression changed drastically. She had never expected Jiang Lin to act so unpredictably. He had told her to deal with another man, but instead he suddenly attacked her!

The timing and angle of this arrow.

Everything is exquisitely beautiful!

It was precisely when she released her spiritual power, her old power exhausted and her new power yet to be generated!

"you!"

Wu Meier was both shocked and furious. In her haste, she didn't have time to assemble a defense. In a flash, she could only grab a yellow talisman from her storage ring and pour her spiritual power into it!

"Fourth-tier spirit talisman, Wind Barrier!"

She let out a delicate shout, and a rotating barrier made of countless cyan wind blades appeared in front of her.

Incredible defensive capabilities!

Puff puff puff!

The Shattering Star Arrows crashed into the Wind Barrier one after another, the violent lightning energy colliding violently with the wind blades, producing a series of ear-piercing explosions.

The wind barrier trembled violently, and countless wind blades were destroyed by lightning, but it also successfully blocked the first five arrows.

However, the next four arrows were just as powerful, shattering the wind barrier with a deafening roar. The last two most powerful arrows, still carrying momentum, pierced through Wu Meier's shoulder!

"what!"

Wu Meier screamed in agony as blood instantly stained her clothes. The immense impact sent her flying backward, crashing into the invisible barrier of the Spirit Marrow Pool.

Almost at the same time as Jiang Lin made his move, Tao Yi, Ling Xue, and Zhang Lengyu also launched a thunderous offensive!

"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

Tao Yi moved closer like a ghost, her dark claws reaching for Wu Meier's dantian!

"Ice Soul Palm!"

Zhang Lengyu slapped out her jade-like hand, and the extreme cold instantly froze the pool water around Wu Meier, with several ice spikes blocking all her escape routes!

"Thunder-Shattering Sword!"

Ling Xue's longsword transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, striking first despite being behind, and aimed directly at Wu Meier's throat!

This sudden attack.

May Wu Meier's soul be scattered!

She finally understood.

He had been completely fooled by Jiang Lin from beginning to end!

"Jiang Lin! You despicable scoundrel!"

Wu Meier's eyes were filled with resentment and disbelief. As she cursed, she frantically channeled her spiritual power.

A cyan wind spirit surrounded him, transforming into a whirlwind that shook off Tao Yi's ghost claws. At the same time, he spun around sharply, narrowly avoiding Ling Xue's sword.

But Zhang Lengyu's ice spikes were already close, piercing her legs and pinning her firmly to the spot.

"Going back on your word?"

Jiang Lin slowly lowered the Shattered Star Bow.

"Wu Meier, you've got it wrong."

"Our previous agreement was that no one should act without authorization, otherwise the other nine would join forces to kill them."

"You were the one who killed him first, breaking the contract. We were just fulfilling our agreement."

He pointed to the body that had sunk to the bottom of the water, his tone calm, yet it made Wu Meier tremble with anger.

What a sharp-tongued brat! He actually twisted the agreement into a weapon that would benefit him!

Wu Meier felt both hatred and regret.

And just then...

Two other powerful auras also locked onto her!

"Wu Meier, how dare you break your promise! You're courting death!"

The surviving man in the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm quickly recovered after a brief moment of astonishment.

Although he coveted Tao Yi and the other two, Wu Meier, who was actively breaking the rules, was the biggest threat at this moment.

He roared and threw a punch, the scorching fist wind transforming into a giant fiery fist that slammed fiercely towards Wu Meier!

At the same time, Lin Yueshuang, who had been silent all along, also moved. She opened her eyes and the pure black spirit sword in her hand was instantly drawn!

The spirit sword was entirely black, without any superfluous decorations, yet it exuded a chilling aura of deathly stillness. It was a high-grade Xuan-level spirit treasure—the Annihilation Spirit Sword!

"The moon leaves no trace!"

Lin Yueshuang lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure transforming into a phantom moon shadow, silently appearing behind Wu Meier.

The Annihilation Spirit Sword had no flashy spiritual energy fluctuations, only pure, extreme sharpness and deathly stillness, as it pierced Wu Meier's back!

This sword strike seemed capable of severing everything in the world, even dimming the light!

They were attacked from both sides, and their top, middle, and bottom routes were completely blocked!

"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"

A hint of madness flashed in Wu Meier's eyes.

She slapped her chest hard and spat out a mouthful of blood onto another blue talisman!

"The wind travels ten thousand miles!"

The talisman instantly burst forth with a blinding blue light, and a violent wind spiritual force enveloped her, forming a huge blue tornado!

Tornadoes are extremely powerful.

It knocked away Lin Yueshuang's Annihilation Spirit Sword and also blew away the man's giant fiery fist.

The attacks from Tao Yi and the other two were completely neutralized.

Using this thrust, Wu Meier's figure transformed into a streak of azure light, crashing into the invisible barrier of the Spirit Marrow Pool at an incredible speed!

boom!

With a loud crash, she actually smashed a hole in the barrier formed by the power of spiritual essence!

Wu Meier's figure flashed by and disappeared into the dense forest at the valley entrance.

"Trying to run away?"

Jiang Lin's eyes narrowed, and he was about to give chase when Lin Yueshuang's voice stopped him.

"No need to chase. The 'Wind Travels Ten Thousand Miles Talisman' is extremely fast; we can't catch it."

At the same time, Zhang Lengyu's voice also reached Jiang Lin through spiritual thought: "Master, don't worry. Wu Meier is a vengeful person. I'm sure she hasn't gone far at all. She must be hiding in the distance, waiting for us to leave the Spirit Marrow Pool to deliver a fatal blow."

"At that time, we just need to prepare in advance and lure them into the trap."

Although Wu Meier is the strongest disciple in the Flying Swallow Sect among this group, Zhang Lengyu, who ranked ninety-sixth on the Northern Prodigy Ranking, was no ordinary person either.

She knows many secrets that others don't.

This included his understanding of Wu Meier. Hearing Zhang Lengyu say this, Jiang Lin was no longer in a hurry.

He had been focusing his spiritual sense on the man being attacked by Wu Meier, confirming that there was something strange about his spiritual sense.

This method of devouring other people's spiritual thoughts really made him extremely envious!

Lin Yueshuang, who was standing to the side, put away the Annihilation Spirit Sword and looked at Jiang Lin with a complicated expression.

She had a hunch about the truth.

It's likely that Jiang Lin and Wu Meier did have some kind of agreement, but Jiang Lin, being a cunning fellow, agreed verbally but turned against them at the crucial moment.

But all of this was just her speculation.

On the surface.

Jiang Lin's actions were entirely in accordance with the agreement to "jointly kill the breacher," and there was nothing wrong with them.

Lin Yueshuang gave Jiang Lin a deep look and said coldly, "I'm going to continue my cultivation."

Lin Yueshuang didn't put in much effort at all.

With just a casual strike, she put Wu Meier in a life-or-death situation, and no one would doubt her strength.

This will not happen.

The atmosphere in the Spirit Essence Pool has changed.

The surviving Qi Sea Realm mid-stage man looked at the bloodstains in the pool, then at the composed Jiang Lin, and at Lin Yueshuang, who held a black sword and exuded a cold aura.

He suddenly realized...

The water in this Spirit Essence Pool is really too deep.

Saving your life is the most important thing!

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Lin and Lin Yueshuang, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, this Spirit Marrow Pool is not for me. I shall take my leave now!"

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer. He turned around, stepped onto his spirit sword, and left the Spirit Essence Pool without looking back.

The fact that someone at the same Qi Sea Realm cultivation level as him was instantly defeated by Wu Meier made him want to back down.

In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Marrow Pool, which originally housed ten people, was reduced to only Jiang Lin and three others, along with Lin Yueshuang.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

Jiang Lin slowly walked to the edge of the pool, picked up the storage ring that the dead man had dropped, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The harvest was good.

He put away his storage ring, then sat down cross-legged again, as if nothing had happened.

Tao Yi and the other two sat down quietly.

He began cultivating again.

Lin Yueshuang ultimately did not leave, as the power of the spiritual marrow was crucial for her breakthrough to the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

On the other hand, Wu Meier, who had escaped, was indeed not far away at all, just as Zhang Lengyu had said.

How could she accept such a huge loss?

She originally intended to save the food for Jiang Lin to eat later.

Now, she has to wait for Jiang Lin to come out.

We'll devour his spirit bit by bit, and only by letting him die in despair and agony will we feel satisfied!
