CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 390: SUPER SPATIOTEMPORAL POWER (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY PASS)_4

The Evil-cutting Sect Master, in order to protect his disciples, managed to slaughter all the pursuing soldiers from New Country. Yet, in the end, he couldn’t prevent the news from leaking.

Afterward, they were subjected to relentless pursuit by the New Country’s massive army and several Third Generation powerhouses.

Among them, the Evil-cutting Sect Master suffered serious injuries and most of his martial prowess was destroyed, while all of his disciples were massacred.

"...disheartened, he fled New Country and went into hiding under a new identity in Xia Country."

"At that time, amidst the chaos of war, identity registration was lax. The Evil-cutting Sect Master slightly altered his appearance and assumed the identity of a dead man who looked similar to him."

"Later on, he gradually settled down in Nanhai City, revealed some of his skills, and then made a living by opening a martial arts school to teach some basic martial arts skills."

"Three years ago, he adopted an orphan from the war and nurtured the child’s martial skills."

"In the last year, he began traveling with his adopted daughter, slaying evil beings wherever they went."

"Three months ago, it seems his injuries recurred and he could no longer repress them; he finally passed away."

Lin Xing turned his head and looked at the girl slowly walking towards the grave, asking, "Is it her?"

Zhao Wanxi’s voice came through the earpiece, "It’s her. Brother, if you want to understand the legacy of the Evil-cutting Sect, then it’s most likely in her hands now."

The girl had short hair and wore a black leather jacket and pants, looking like a tomboy, and her whole being radiated a ’keep away’ vibe.

Seeing Lin Xing standing in front of the gravestone, she asked curiously, "You knew the old man?"

Lin Xing smiled slightly and said, "We were friends, I guess. Are you his successor?"

The girl shrugged her shoulders and put out several electronic candles on the grave, casually saying, "I guess you could say that. Did he owe you money, or did he owe you a favor, making you chase after him all the way to his grave?"

Lin Xing asked, "How was his life these past few years?"

The girl nodded and while lighting the incense, she said, "It was alright, I guess. He always talked about how he was once a Third Generation powerhouse and had even traded blows with the Great Bright Buddha. Yet he couldn’t even defeat a Second Generation from Great Zhou who came over, and when he was challenged at his own school, he had no choice but to swallow his pride."

"Then he talked about finding relics of evil to restore his strength. He dragged me around on wild goose chases, killing some monsters and saving quite a few people. But his illness never really improved, and in the end, he couldn’t hold on and died."

After bowing to the gravestone, the girl turned her head to look at Lin Xing, curious, "You don’t seem like the debt-collecting type, so are you perhaps looking for the old man to drive out evil?"

The scene of Lin Xing’s first encounter with the Evil-cutting Sect Master flashed in his mind.

At that time, the man had descended from the sky, his body ablaze with fire sweeping all around, his presence so mighty that hundreds of Zhou Tian Sect disciples trembled with fear.

He said reflectively, "He really was a formidable Third Generation powerhouse in the past."

"If it hadn’t been for his need to care for his fellow sect members and suffering a grave injury, he might have had a chance at reaching the Fourth Generation."

"Ah?" The girl listened to Lin Xing’s words, befuddled. The slovenly and weak old man she remembered didn’t seem like someone who could be associated with Third or Fourth Generation powerhouses.

She couldn’t help but think that this friend of the old man might be as much of a braggart as him.

Lin Xing continued, "How much of the Evil-cutting Sect’s skills have you mastered? I need someone to capture evil creatures for me and set up Arrays to seal them in the Spirit Caves. Can you do it?"

The girl shook her head with a wry smile, "You’ve got the wrong person. I am not particularly talented; I’m only at the First Generation level. If the old man hadn’t pushed me to train, I wouldn’t be interested in doing that stuff."

"As for capturing evil beings and sealing them in Spirit Caves, that’s beyond my ability."

Lin Xing said, "Past strength doesn’t matter, and neither does poor aptitude, as long as you’ve truly mastered the Evil-cutting Sect’s methods. I can help you grasp the Second Generation or even the Third Generation in a short time."

By this point, the girl was already frowning, as Lin Xing came across to her as an even bigger liar than the old man.

So, she declined politely, "Really, no need. I’ve got other things to do. I’ll be going now."

Watching the girl’s hasty departing figure, Bai Yiyi said, "Lin Xing, she doesn’t believe you."

Lin Xing however, nodded slightly to himself, "It’s good to be cautious. If she weren’t cautious, how could she have captured those strange and bizarre evil creatures?"
