Chapter 4424
At that moment, Lin Ke Ting found herself in a dilemma. The events unfolding in the Divine and Demonic Battlefield were deviating significantly from her initial expectations.
The unexpected emergence of the thunder beast, along with the residual soul left by a demonic cultivator, added layers of uncertainty to their journey.
She couldn’t help but wonder what other surprises lay ahead!
Continuing forward certainly posed dangers!
Yet, turning back was equally daunting; she felt a weight on her shoulders as the people behind her looked to her for guidance.
“Master, you’re really putting me in a tough spot! Didn’t you promise that you had prepared the way for me?”
Lin Keting silently scolded her master.
Despite her inner turmoil, she knew she had to maintain a facade of composure. “Fellow Daoists, I must caution you that proceeding further will be fraught with peril. If anyone wishes to avoid the risks, we can retrace our steps.”
Lin Keting hoped her words would encourage the group to withdraw, allowing her to retreat alongside them.
The group fell silent.
Initially, they had anticipated discovering a relic, but it turned out to be a divine and demonic battlefield!
No one could ascertain the level of danger that awaited them!
And with the presence of a demonic cultivator’s residual soul, it was clear that they were dealing with a formidable opponent, even if just a fragment of their essence remained!
Yet, the thought of leaving behind potential treasures was tempting!
After all, they stood before a cliff littered with bones—remnants of the gods and demons from ancient wars!
Who wouldn’t want to claim a few magical weapons that might still be in the possession of these fallen immortals and demons?
With the dead gone, their magical artifacts were likely left behind on this battlefield of gods and devils.
The group was now caught in a stalemate, uncertain whether to advance or retreat.
“Ji Yun, Miss Zhu, let’s move forward …”
Kai, sensing Lin Ke Ting’s hesitation, called out to Ji Yun and Zhu Qingxiu, and they stepped ahead together!
“In such a legendary battlefield, there must be countless divine weapons and treasures awaiting us. I just hope my storage bag can hold it all!”
“As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold; I’d rather take a chance than starve from fear…”
Kai declared loudly as they proceeded.
“Fellow Daoist, take me with you! At least I still have some strength left, and it hasn’t been suppressed!”
Hearing Kai’s determination, the Thunder Beast quickly followed, feeling reassured by Kai’s presence, especially with the Fire Qilin and the Heaven Swallowing Beast by his side!
Noticing the Thunder Beast’s eagerness to join Kai, the hesitant crowd suddenly sprang into action!
“Fellow Daoist, wait! We’re coming with you…”
“Yes, we’re in this together! Even if it means risking our lives, we can’t pass up this chance.”
“Let’s fight for it; we’ve come this far already!”
Motivated, the group of cultivators raced to catch up with Kai, eager to follow him.
Meanwhile, Lin Keting stood alone, watching in disbelief as Kai and the others moved ahead.
At that moment, she felt a surge of frustration; what was the point of Kai showing off now?
If not for him, perhaps the group would have chosen to retreat.
In truth, Kai was also keeping a close eye on Lin Keting.
More than anything, he wanted her to join them, as she possessed the powerful rune and was familiar with the terrain, which could prove invaluable!
The other cultivators had suppressed their powers, making them less useful in this situation!
Seeing Lin Keting hesitate for so long stirred anxiety in Kai.
“Wait for me! If everyone is willing to press on, then I will join you!”
Finally, Lin Keting gritted her teeth and rushed after Kai!
Seeing her determination, a small smile crept onto Kai’s face.
