Gods: Starting with the Goblins - Chapter 682
.At this moment, Qilin suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
He followed Luo Dan and came to the vicinity of Lingshan. Seeing this, everyone cast curious eyes.
They knew that there had always been some subtle relationship between Qilin and Luo Dan. At this moment, the two of them appeared together, which undoubtedly attracted their attention.
After Qilin came to the vicinity of Lingshan, he suddenly stopped. He frowned and looked around the surrounding environment.
A feeling of uneasiness quietly rose in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong here.
“What’s wrong?
Qilin, did you find anything?”
Luo Dan saw this and asked.
His voice was calm and steady, as if he had expected something.
Qilin did not answer, but stared at Luo Dan. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, with doubts, uneasiness, and a hint of anger. He suddenly felt that Luo Dan bringing him to this place seemed not so simple.
“Why did you bring me here?” Qilin finally couldn’t help asking, with a hint of questioning in his voice.
Luo Dan smiled slightly when he heard this. He did not answer Qilin’s question directly, but turned to look at Lingshan in the distance. There was a deep light in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
“Qilin, do you know? This place hides a huge secret.” Luodan said slowly, his voice low and mysterious, “And this secret can only be revealed by a truly strong person.”
Qilin was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Luodan’s back and suddenly had an inexplicable premonition. He felt that Luodan brought him here not for simple play or adventure, but for a deeper purpose.
However, just when he wanted to ask further, it was too late. A powerful breath suddenly surged from the depths of Lingshan and surrounded them in an instant. Qilin and Luodan were alert at the same time, they knew that the real challenge had just begun.
In the following time, Qilin and Luodan experienced countless dangers and challenges together. They faced powerful enemies together and revealed the secrets deep in Lingshan. In this process, Qilin gradually understood Luodan’s intentions and had a deeper understanding of his own strength.
Finally, when they successfully uncovered the secret of Lingshan and left smoothly, Qilin looked at Luodan’s back, his heart full of gratitude and admiration. He knew that without Luodan’s leadership and help, he would never be able to reach this height. And the contempt and ridicule of Luodan before now seemed so ridiculous and ignorant.
“You deliberately led me here, just to attack me, right?” The man trapped in the small space said with a bit of anger and uneasiness in his voice. His eyes were fixed on Luodan standing not far away, as if he wanted to see through his mind. The air around him seemed to solidify, and an invisible force bound him tightly, making him unable to move.
“What are you going to do? Let me out quickly!” He tried to break free again, but found that the mysterious breath was like shackles, tightening more and more. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. This was obviously not an ordinary place, not to mention that the evil cultivator was guarding outside. He knew that he could not get out alone.
Luo Dan stood there with a smile on his face, which was full of deep meaning and teasing. “Don’t worry, my friend, things are far from as simple as you think.” He spoke slowly, his voice gentle but with unquestionable power, “I brought you here for a purpose.”
The man’s face became even gloomier, and he tried to stay calm, trying to find clues from Luo Dan’s words. “Purpose? What purpose? There doesn’t seem to be any deep hatred between us, why do you treat me like this?”
Luo Dan chuckled and took a few steps forward, but always kept a safe distance to prevent the other party from a surprise attack. “Deep hatred? That’s not the case. However, you are a big threat to some people. And I am just entrusted by someone and I am loyal to him.”
“Entrusted by someone? Who? Who asked you to do this?” The man’s voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he began to realize that there might be a huge conspiracy behind all this.
Luo Dan shook his head, mysterious. “Well, you don’t need to know this. You just need to know that your fate is in my hands now, and I don’t intend to let you go easily.”
The man’s eyes flashed with despair, but soon replaced by determination. “Luo Dan, I warn you, don’t think you can easily control me like this. Even if I fight to the death, I won’t let you get what you want.”
Luo Dan smiled even more when he heard this. “Oh? Fight to the death? Then you have to think clearly. There are many restrictions here. Even your little cultivation can’t be used here. One tenth. What’s more, there is still that evil cultivator guarding outside. Do you think you can escape?”
The man was silent for a moment. He knew that what Luo Dan said was true, but he still didn’t want to give up. “So what? I would rather die in battle than be your puppet.”
Luo Dan sighed, as if he was surprised by the man’s stubbornness. “You are such a stubborn guy. But I also admire your courage. Let me give you a chance. If you can pass the test I set, I will let you go.”
“Test? What test?” A glimmer of hope flashed in the man’s eyes. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was willing to try.
Rodan did not answer directly, but turned and walked aside. With a flick of his finger, a ray of light flashed, and a complex magic circle slowly emerged on the ground. “This is a magic circle that tests your wisdom and courage. As long as you can crack it, I will let you go free.” The man stared at the magic circle with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this might be his only way out, but the complexity of the magic circle was far beyond his imagination. Whether he could succeed or not was still unknown.
“Okay, I accept your test.” The man took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked towards the unknown magic circle. Luo Dan stood aside, smiling and observing everything quietly, as if everything was under his control.
In the following time, the man devoted himself wholeheartedly to cracking the magic circle, while Luo Dan gave some hints from time to time, which seemed to be testing and guiding. As time went by, the light of the magic circle gradually weakened, and finally disappeared completely, and the man successfully stood outside the magic circle, with incredible joy on his face.
“You did it. I really saw the right person.” Rodan nodded approvingly and then removed the restrictions around him. “Now, you can leave. However, remember our agreement not to disturb everything here again.”
The man looked at Luo Dan deeply, turned around and left quickly without saying anything. He knew that this experience was both a life and death test and an opportunity for growth for him. Luo Dan, on the other hand, stood there, watching the man’s back gradually disappear from sight, with complex emotions surging in his heart. Isn’t this test a profound lesson for him?
Outside, people from several sects had gathered together. They looked in the direction of Lingshan, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in their hearts. They know that an unprecedented challenge is coming. And they will also prove their strength and value in this challenge.
They have always looked down on Rodan, and the reason for this can be traced back to a duel event that shocked the cultivation world a few years ago. At that time, Luo Dan was still a fledgling monk, but he single-handedly challenged several sects that were quite prestigious in the world of cultivation. Those sects usually think highly of themselves and never take any of the younger generation seriously, but they never expected that they would stumble under Luo Dan’s hands.
That day, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Luo Dan stood alone in front of several sects, with a firmness in his eyes that should not be underestimated. He holds a long sword and stands tall and straight, like an inviolable god of war.
“You guys, do you dare to fight me?” Rodan’s voice echoed in the valley, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
When the monks from several sects heard this, they glared angrily. They had never seen such an arrogant young man. So, they all drew their weapons and prepared to teach Rodan a lesson.
However, the outcome of the battle was beyond everyone’s expectation. Luo Dan relied on his extraordinary cultivation and superb swordsmanship to defeat several monks from the sect one by one. They fell to the ground, embarrassed and disgraced. From then on, they could no longer raise their heads among other factions and became the laughing stock of the cultivation world.
All this is because of Rodan. His name has therefore become an eternal pain in the hearts of several sects. They hate him, hate him for making them lose face, hate him for making them unable to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.
However, Luo Dan never thought of offending these sects. He just wanted to prove his strength, but he didn’t expect it would bring such a big blow to them. When he learned that these sects held such an obvious grudge against him, he sighed helplessly.
“If I had known earlier, I would have beaten them a little worse, so that they would be afraid when they saw me, let alone hate me.” Luo Dan thought to himself, but there was a look on his face. A helpless and wry smile.
On this day, Luo Dan was surrounded by monks from several sects again. Their eyes revealed hatred and anger, as if they wanted to eat Rodan alive.
“Luo Dan, you arrogant guy! Today, we will make you pay the price!” A monk from the sect roared angrily. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, as if he was about to stab Luo Dan at any time.
Luo Dan looked at them, feeling helpless in his heart. He knew that the hatred these sects held against him had penetrated deep into their bones and could not be resolved. So, he slowly said: “There is not much hatred or resentment between us. Why do you do this? And you sealed me, which is of no benefit to you.”
“Benefits? Haha, we just want you to know the consequences of offending us!” Another monk from the sect sneered, with a ferocious and cruel look on his face.
When Luo Dan heard this, his heart sank. He knew that these sects had lost their minds and could not persuade them with words. So, he decided to let his own strength speak for himself.
He swung his sword suddenly and appeared in front of the sneering monk instantly like a ghost. Before the monk could react, he was knocked away by Luo Dan’s sword.
When the monks from several other sects saw this, they roared and rushed towards Luo Dan. However, their strength is far from that of Rodan, and they are no match for him. After a while, they fell to the ground one after another, groaning in pain.
Luo Dan looked at the monks on the ground, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that the hatred of these sects towards him would not dissipate because of this, but would become deeper. But he also understood that he could not change this fact. So, he could only sigh helplessly and turn around to leave this place full of hatred and resentment.
From then on, Luo Dan focused more on his own path of cultivation. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and the people around him from harm. And the hatred and resentment of those sects towards him gradually dissipated in the long river of history as time went by.
Luo Dan did have a great interest in the blood of the unicorn before, not only because the blood of the unicorn was said to be a rare treasure that could treat physical injuries and enhance physical fitness in the world of cultivation, but also because it contained an indescribable mysterious power that was enough to make any cultivator crazy. However, with the passage of time, Luo Dan’s situation and needs have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Now, he holds a treasure that is more precious and more powerful than the blood of the unicorn. It is a treasure that can directly improve cultivation and even peek into the secrets of the heaven. Therefore, he no longer has the slightest desire for the blood of the unicorn.
One day, Luo Dan and Qilin met again in a desolate valley. The valley was surrounded by jagged rocks and dead trees, a bleak scene. Qilin looked at Luo Dan, his eyes flashing with vigilance and uneasiness. He could never forget that Luo Dan had fought with him for the blood of the unicorn. Although he failed in the end, the greed and determination were deeply imprinted in his heart.
“No, I still have to tell you again.” Luo Dan’s voice echoed in the valley, with an unquestionable firmness, “With your ability, don’t think you can deal with me. As you are now, your strength is still weak in front of me.”
Qilin heard this, gritted his teeth, and was furious. He had never thought that Luo Dan would belittle him so bluntly. This was a great insult to his dignity. He stared at Luo Dan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through everything about him.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will do something to you?” Qilin roared, with an irrepressible anger and unwillingness in his voice. (End of this chapter)
