The corner of Peng Junqin’s eyes twitched when he saw the angry and contemptuous looks the others gave him.
“The situation was critical at that time. Even if 1 stayed, I would only be tempting fate with you. I might as well preserve my life. After leaving the spirit cave, I’ll report the situation here to the higher-ups of the sect. It’s better than being completely wiped out!”
Peng Junqin’s words sounded reasonable, but no one here was stupid. How could they not know that this was just an excuse Peng Junqin found after the incident?
Xie Jingsheng sneered, “What a good excuse you’ve come up with. Unfortunately, no matter how much you quibble, it won’t change the fact that you abandoned your fellow disciples and fled at the last minute. When we leave the spirit cave, I’ll definitely report it to the Elders!”
Peng Junqin’s eyes flashed with anger, but in the end, he was in the wrong. He coldly snorted and didn’t say anything else.
Ignoring him, Xie Jingsheng quickly decided on a place to rest and set off with everyone.
After arriving at the chosen cave, everyone gathered their strength to clean up the demons around the cave and set up an array formation to cover their tracks and protect themselves. Only then did they eat the pills and begin to recover from their injuries.
Peng Junqin also shamelessly followed.
After all, they were from the same sect. Although everyone despised Peng Junqin’s actions, they didn’t chase him away. They just ignored him and pretended that this person wasn’t around.
Under the nourishment of the abundant spiritual essence, everyone’s injuries recovered extremely fast.
Three days later, everyone had mostly recovered.
However, Lin Shen was still nowhere to be seen.
This time, even Xie Jingsheng couldn’t help but feel worried. He looked very concerned.
“Senior Brother Xie, Senior Brother Lin hasn’t come to meet us for so long. Something must have happened. Why don’t we go out and investigate?” Ai Jingting said worriedly.
She was very grateful that Lin Shen had saved her life, and she felt even more uneasy about the current situation.
Xie Jingsheng felt the same.
If he was alone, he would definitely go out to look for Lin Shen without hesitation.
However, he still had the responsibility to look after a group of disciples. If they ran into Jiang Wanying while searching for Lin Shen, they wouldn’t have a second chance to escape.
Eor a moment, Xie Jingsheng couldn’t help but hesitate.
At this moment, someone snorted.
It was Peng Junqin.
Over the past few days, he had been despised by everyone and had been holding back his anger. Now that he heard the conversation between Ai Jingting and Xie Jingsheng, he finally couldn’t help but speak.
“I’m afraid Lin Shen is long dead!”
“What did you say?!” Xie Jingsheng was furious and glared at Peng Junqin.
Ai Jingting and the others also glared at him.
As soon as he said that, Peng Junqin no longer had any scruples and sneered.
“What a bunch of ignorant people!
“Jiang Wanying is one of the few elite disciples of the Blood Sea Sect’s younger generation. Not only has he reached the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, but he has also forged more than 30 spirit meridians. If not for the sake of attaining a second-grade spirit meridian, he would have advanced to a cultivator master long ago!
“With Jiang Wanying’s strength, he’s almost invincible in the Bright Aperture Stage. Lin Shen isn’t even at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage yet. How can he withstand Jiang Wanying? I’m afraid he’s already been turned into a blood soul…”
“Enough!”
Xie Jingsheng interrupted Peng Junqin with a livid expression.
“Peng Junqin, it’s one thing for you to abandon your fellow disciples’ lives, but you even cursed your fellow disciples. Do you have any shame?”
Peng Junqin dared to say those words in public because he already had nothing to lose. He wasn’t angry when he heard this but only sneered.
“I’m just telling the truth so that you won’t have any wishful thinking!
Xie Jingsheng stared at Peng Junqin. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. It was obvious how angry he was.
Ai Jingting pursed her lips, her face slightly pale.
The others also looked at each other in silence.
Although Peng Junqin was despicable, his words made sense.
The power that Jiang Wanying had displayed previously was obvious to all. It had already far surpassed ordinary ninth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
Although Lin Shen’s strength was extraordinary, he was still inferior to Jiang Wanying.
At this moment, he had yet to appear and meet up with them. He was probably dead!
No one said a word. Peng Junqin didn’t want to provoke Xie Jingsheng anymore, so he kept his mouth shut. The cave instantly fell silent.
Everyone was in a bad mood.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In the silent cave, Lin Shen sat quietly with his eyes closed. The aura around his body slowly moved.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, it was as if lightning had flashed, and the dark cave seemed to have lit up for a moment.
Lin Shen heaved a long sigh of relief and was filled with joy.
After concentrating on cultivating for 15 days, he finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the Bright Aperture Stage!

[Number of clones: 7 (26%)]
“I can finally start forging spirit meridians!”
Lin Shen smiled happily.
Apart from cultivating, he didn’t miss out on hunting Earth Essences these few days.
With the help from Testify by Killing talent, Cloud Dragon Rhythm and Nine Divine Sun Sword both reached True Martial..
