#144 - Chapter 144: Disciple, follow the master's footsteps

"Indeed, what cultivation of immortality for an old farmer? It's best to live a simple, ordinary life."

"Powerful strength can make people lose their original intentions." The old farmer shook his head and smiled wryly.

Ye Kong didn't know what to say, only that it was fate.

There are countless cultivators in the world of cultivation, all cultivating immortality, but for what?

Wealth? Beauty? Power? Immortality... so much more.

After taking a sip of bitter tea, the old farmer put down the cup and said, "Someone is coming. This old farmer should go back to till the land. This time, I won't come out again."

"Expert, if you see that source, remember to destroy it. That source has already lost its original intention, keeping it will only bring disaster."

"Okay." Ye Kong nodded.

"Thank you." The old farmer cupped his hands in thanks, walked to the door, picked up his hoe, bowed deeply to Ye Kong, and entered the ancient painting.

"Moo!" A cow's cry came, and the ancient painting shattered and disappeared without a trace.

She walked around and came back.

For no other reason than fear that her master would have an accident and die here.

Ye Kong glanced at Lin Yaoyao, lay on the rocking chair and rocked, emitting his divine sense, watching Little White and Little Green, who seemed to be scheming against someone.

Forget it, he wouldn't bother with them.

The source that the old farmer mentioned earlier is probably the Great Emperor's source.

Alas, even in death, he still causes trouble.

Ye Kong sighed in his heart, got up from the rocking chair, looked back at the house, shook his head and smiled, looked at Lin Yaoyao, and said;

"Disciple, follow closely in your master's footsteps, your master will take you to seize treasures!"

Since Chang Gu wants to live again, he must have prepared a lot of good things.

"I don't care for them." Lin Yaoyao looked disgusted, following behind her master, muttering in her heart, "This Emperor doesn't care for treasures or anything."

"I'm following Master only to protect Master's safety and fulfill the Sect Leader's entrustment."

After finding an excuse for herself, Lin Yaoyao followed behind him with peace of mind.

The two walked out of the small courtyard, and not long after, they encountered two disciples of the Heavenly Pole Sect.

The Heavenly Pole Sect is also a righteous sect, not far from the Star River Sect, so Ye Kong could tell their identity from their clothing.

The disciples of the Heavenly Pole Sect always wear cyan-green robes embroidered with patterns.

The two disciples of the Heavenly Pole Sect also discovered Ye Kong and Lin Yaoyao, glanced at Ye Kong, and then shifted their gaze to Lin Yaoyao.

"Senior Brother Cao, they seem to be from the Star River Sect."

"I know, one is the trash peak master of the Carefree Peak, and the other is a disciple. Junior Brother Yang, I fancy that woman."

"Senior Brother, my strength is not weaker than yours, I think I can compete with you."

"Junior Brother Yang, give me this woman, and I'll give you another beauty from the Carefree Peak."

"Okay!"

After a brief exchange of voices, they looked up at Ye Kong and Lin Yaoyao again, this time completely ignoring Ye Kong.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist, I am Cao Ni, the chief disciple of the Second Elder of the Heavenly Pole Sect. May I know your name?" Cao Ni said with a smile as he approached Lin Yaoyao.

Before he could get within ten feet, Lin Yaoyao suddenly shouted, "Get out!"

"Anyone who dares to approach within ten feet of me will die!" Lin Yaoyao looked indifferent, regardless of who the other party was.

Ye Kong looked at the hot-tempered Lin Yaoyao, and then looked at the distance between himself and her, only a fist's distance away, almost shoulder to shoulder.

Fortunately, I'm her master, otherwise, if I got so close, would she be angry too?

Ah, no, she's the one who came closer.

She was walking behind me before, but now she's walking on my left.

Ye Kong muttered to himself for a while.

Cao Ni's expression stiffened, he was targeted before he could even get close, which made him very uncomfortable.

When he saw Ye Kong and Lin Yaoyao shoulder to shoulder, with only a fist's distance between them, his face became even more unsightly.

"Fellow Daoist, why reject others from three feet away? In the Chang Gu Cave Heaven, no one will know if you die. My senior brother and I happened to meet you and wanted to cooperate with you and protect you."

"Otherwise, with the strength of the two of you, you'll be finished no matter who you meet." Junior Brother Yang said with a smile, slowly approaching.

Clang!

Lin Yaoyao directly drew out the Heavenly Sword, pointing the sword at the two.

"Within three feet, kill!" Lin Yaoyao burst out with sword intent, as long as you dare to approach, I will kill you!

Now Junior Brother Yang didn't dare to step forward, he could see that Lin Yaoyao was showing killing intent, and if they dared to approach, they would both suffer.

Although he and Cao Ni were both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, they might not be able to take down Lin Yaoyao.

They were not far from the Star River Sect, and they knew about the Nine Peaks Competition of the Star River Sect.

The disciples of Carefree Peak are not to be trifled with.

"Hmph, don't regret it!" Cao Ni snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Lin Yaoyao waited until they were far away before she restrained her killing intent and returned the Heavenly Sword to its sheath.

"Disciple, don't be so angry, let's talk it over first, it's not too late to take action if we can't talk it over." Ye Kong said to Lin Yaoyao.

Lin Yaoyao glared at Ye Kong, too lazy to pay attention.

If it weren't for protecting you, this Emperor would have kicked you away!

Lin Yaoyao muttered in her heart and followed Ye Kong.

She had also seen the map of the Chang Gu Cave Heaven and knew where to go.

"The spiritual energy here is quite rich." Lin Yaoyao sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, thinking of cultivating inside for a while.

Ye Kong waved his hand, grabbed a trace of gray substance from the air, and smiled slightly.

"It's quite rich." Ye Kong said with a faint smile, patting Lin Yaoyao's jade back with one hand.

Pa!

Lin Yaoyao's footsteps faltered, and her expression gradually became angry.

He dares, he dares to do this!

He dares to touch me!

Does he really think this Emperor doesn't dare to kill him?

This Emperor is angry!

Lin Yaoyao turned her head and glared at her master, and just as she was about to draw her sword, Ye Kong hurriedly explained, "Disciple, don't be angry, Master didn't hit you, but helped you brush off the dirty stuff on your back," Ye Kong explained.

He stretched out his left hand that patted Lin Yaoyao, with a thin layer of gray on it.

"Is there more?" Lin Yaoyao asked.

"No more." Ye Kong said with a faint smile.

Lin Yaoyao heard the words, then put away the Heavenly Sword, and snorted softly.

Hmph!

I'll spare you this time, if you dare to touch this Emperor again next time, this Emperor won't spare you!

Lin Yaoyao probably guessed that it was probably the dust from the rocking chair she was lying on.

Seeing that Lin Yaoyao was not angry, Ye Kong looked at the gray substance in his hand.

With a wave of his palm, the gray substance dissipated and merged into the heaven and earth.

"The source?" Ye Kong muttered to himself.

The spiritual energy here is terrifyingly rich, but there is a problem.

The spiritual energy is mixed with a trace of gray substance, which is probably Chang Gu's source.

Otherwise, with such a rich substance, the vegetation and some animals here would have already become spirits.

He had to quickly find Little White and Little Green, otherwise they would be finished if they were invaded by Chang Gu's source power.

Although Ye Kong didn't know what this source could do, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Hidden in the spiritual energy, it is difficult to detect without careful observation.

Ye Kong took Lin Yaoyao and walked towards the place where Little White and Little Green were.
