Chapter 141 Leng Ya

Even if Lin Yanghao was not dead, he was still only at the Golden Core stage. He himself, after all, was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If the spirit food had failed to kill Lin Yanghao, then he merely needed to make a little more effort.

As for Bone Stone beside Lin Yanghao, he had automatically disregarded him. In his eyes, Bone Stone was nothing more than an ordinary mortal. Could he possibly be a mighty Soul Formation expert?

If he really were a Soul Formation expert, would he not have noticed that the spirit food he had given Lin Yanghao was tainted?

In truth, Bone Stone could hardly be blamed. As a zombie, how could he tell that there was something wrong with the spirit food?

Besides, Bone Stone had not paid the slightest attention to those details in the first place, so there was even less chance that he would discover anything amiss.

Thus, even if Lin Yanghao had found out, what could he do? At the thought, the inn attendant actually burst out laughing.

“Looks like you’re very disappointed,” Lin Yanghao said coldly, a chill already shining in his eyes.

“Dare to come with me?” The look in Lin Yanghao’s eyes had made the inn attendant sense a hint of danger, but it was only a feeling. He still did not take Lin Yanghao seriously.

Naturally, he would not dare kill Lin Yanghao openly inside the inn, so he could only find a way to lure him outside.

“All right. What is there to fear?” The inn attendant’s suggestion suited Lin Yanghao perfectly. Once they found some secluded place, it would be ideal for killing someone and disposing of the body.

So he wanted to send me to my death as well? Still, that worked out nicely. Not only could he make the man explain why he had tried to kill him, but he could also vent the resentment in his heart.

It was truly killing two birds with one stone. If the inn attendant knew what Lin Yanghao was thinking, who knew what he would have made of it?

There was only one phrase to describe what he was doing: seeking his own destruction.

With that, Lin Yanghao and Bone Stone followed the inn attendant all the way beyond the city walls.

Naturally, he would not dare act inside the city. If word got out, would not their inn’s reputation be ruined? Who would dare come to their establishment for food or lodging after that?

Of course, a mere inn could never hold on to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As it turned out, the owner of the inn was the inn attendant’s adoptive father. His kindness to the young man was as weighty as a mountain. Without his adoptive father, he would never have become the man he was today. It was even possible that he would have died long ago.

Back then, the inn attendant had been nothing more than an ordinary mortal who made his living begging from childhood. Then, one day, he encountered his future adoptive father by chance. The man discovered that the boy possessed spiritual roots—and not just any spiritual roots, but the rare dual spiritual roots.

For the sake of his future, his adoptive father had spent his entire fortune to send him to a sect for cultivation. The young man had also lived up to his hopes, cultivating diligently day and night. In a mere fifty years, he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Even within the entire sect, he was one of its few outstanding talents.

He could have enjoyed a better development and a far more promising future within the sect. But when faced with the choice between his future and his family, he had chosen family without the slightest hesitation. He returned to his adoptive father’s side to help manage the inn, and thus became the inn attendant he was now.

His adoptive father, by contrast, possessed only Foundation Establishment cultivation.

“Hmph. I never expected that failing to make your dantian explode and kill you last night would leave you alive. What a pity,” the inn attendant said viciously.

“So it was you after all. What was your purpose?” Lin Yanghao demanded. Now that his suspicion had been confirmed, he nearly pounced on the man and threw him to the ground, had reason not restrained him.

It would be better to find out from the man first why he had done such a thing. Otherwise, all the trouble he had taken would have been for nothing.

“I’m puzzled myself. Were you prepared for it from the beginning? How could you possibly be completely unharmed? No, that can’t be right. I saw you eat every last bit of it yesterday. Tell me—how did you manage it?” Instead of answering Lin Yanghao’s question, the inn attendant voiced the doubt that had troubled him all this time.

“What else could I have done? Naturally, I refined it,” Lin Yanghao replied honestly. Whether the man believed him or not was of no concern to him.

Although the inn attendant was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lin Yanghao did not regard him as a threat at all.

Forget one Nascent Soul cultivator—Lin Yanghao was the sort who could fight even Soul Transformation experts without hesitation.

“Anyone can boast. Hurry up and give me your name. My blade does not kill nameless men.” The inn attendant did not believe Lin Yanghao in the slightest. Refine it? Did he think he was some mighty Soul Formation expert?

Even if he were beaten to death, he would never believe that Lin Yanghao could refine that spirit food.

He could not be bothered to waste any more time. He would simply deal with Lin Yanghao quickly and return to the inn.

“Listen carefully. I never change my name and never hide my surname. I am Lin Yanghao.” In Lin Yanghao’s eyes, the man was already as good as dead. What harm could there be in telling him?

“You listen carefully as well. Remember my name, so you will know who killed you. I am Leng Ya.” After saying this, Leng Ya prepared to attack Lin Yanghao.

Yet for some reason, the name Lin Yanghao sounded familiar to him. No matter how hard he tried, however, he could not remember where he had heard it before.

“Can ducks be cold as well?” Lin Yanghao asked deliberately, putting on an innocent expression.

At his words, Leng Ya nearly stumbled.

“Brat, is mocking people with your tongue the only thing you can do?” Leng Ya was furious. What he hated most was having others insult his name.

This time, even an uncle might endure it, but an aunt certainly would not.

“Are you really up to this, Young Lin? If not, I can settle it for you with one move,” Bone Stone said from the side, watching the two of them with great interest.

“Of course I am. I’m far stronger than you!” Lin Yanghao replied, then turned his attention away from Bone Stone.

How could a man ever admit he was incapable? He had to prove himself capable.

“Then I shall wait and see. Don’t call for me to help you later,” Bone Stone said, already preparing to enjoy Lin Yanghao’s humiliation.

His opponent was an entire major realm above Lin Yanghao. Bone Stone did not believe that Lin Yanghao could defeat him.

Even if someone could kill opponents above their level, at most they could cross a minor stage or two. Crossing an entire major realm was practically unheard of.

Of course, Bone Stone had not witnessed the scene in which Lin Yanghao killed Third Elder Yu at the Pill Sect. At the time, Bone Stone had been locked in a fierce battle with Perfected Changshan. How could he have had the leisure to pay attention to Lin Yanghao?

Now, however, he was watching Lin Yanghao every moment, afraid that something might happen to him. If Lin Yanghao proved unable to defeat his opponent, Bone Stone could intervene quickly.

“Looks like that old man isn’t ordinary either. I’d better be careful,” Leng Ya thought as he listened to the exchange between Lin Yanghao and Bone Stone.

That old man was clearly no mortal. Judging from his tone, his strength surpassed even Lin Yanghao’s, and he seemed confident that he could defeat Leng Ya.

At that thought, Leng Ya broke out in a cold sweat.
