Chapter 1788: Chapter 1885: Surging Killing Intent
That sentence just now was transmitted by Cheng Qingyu to Fang Lin, so no one at the four tables heard it, but Fang Lin heard it loud and clear, and felt a shock in his heart.
"Who exactly are you?" Fang Lin's eyes were fixed on Cheng Qingyu, speaking in the same transmitted voice.
Cheng Qingyu's face was expressionless, looking quite indifferent, and said, "You can't even detect who I am, it seems that even if you return to this era, you ultimately cannot change anything."
Fang Lin's gaze was bleak, and he silently guessed who this Cheng Qingyu might be. Since she said she was from the future just like him, it indicated that Cheng Qingyu, like himself, also came from tens of thousands of years ahead.
"Cheng Qingyu? Cheng Qingyu?" Fang Lin muttered the name, suddenly realizing something.
"Are you Jade Qincheng?" Fang Lin questioned, his expression solemn and tinged with disbelief.
Cheng Qingyu neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "Someone sent you here to stop certain things, and likewise, someone sent me here to stop you."
"Are you Jade Qincheng?" Fang Lin persisted in questioning her identity, ignoring what she said.
Cheng Qingyu looked at Fang Lin deeply and shook her head.
"You're not Jade Qincheng?" Fang Lin's brows knitted tightly. Cheng Qingyu had previously given Fang Lin an extremely familiar feeling, and combined with what she had just said and her name, Fang Lin could conclude that she was Jade Qincheng.
"Jade Qincheng is already dead. Now standing before you is Cheng Qingyu." Cheng Qingyu said coldly.
"What exactly do you want to say? And how did you come here?" Fang Lin asked.
He himself arrived in this era because his mother, Bai Qingxue, brought him through the mysterious space opened by Mo Shouhe, broke into the end of the ages, and relied on nine-grade pills to withstand the grinding of time, barely surviving.
Fang Lin didn't believe anyone could come to this era, and even if they could, it would be extremely difficult, perhaps even requiring some irreversible huge cost.
Moreover, Fang Lin remembered clearly that Jade Qincheng should have already merged with the ancient magic tree, and the ancient magic tree had been shattered by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Fang Lin thought Jade Qincheng should have died along with the ancient magic tree, but unexpectedly encountered her in this era.
Even if she didn't admit she was Jade Qincheng.
People passing by looked at Fang Lin and Cheng Qingyu with strange eyes, muttering to themselves about how odd this man and woman were, standing there facing each other without speaking.
Cheng Qingyu transmitted, "I just want to tell you that whatever you want to do after returning to this era, I will not let you succeed. As for how I got here, you don't need to know."
"So you're admitting you're Jade Qincheng, then?" Fang Lin said coldly.
A bitter smile appeared on Cheng Qingyu's face: "Jade Qincheng is already dead, I'm just a ghost borrowing the demon tree to prolong life, clinging to existence."
Fang Lin frowned even more upon hearing this.
"Who saved you? And who sent you here?" Fang Lin asked, puzzled.
Cheng Qingyu shook her head: "I can't tell you anything. I only know I'm here to stop you, someone controls everything about me, including life and death."
Fang Lin initially wanted to ask if it was Mo Shouhe but suddenly realized that this was the ancient era, Mo Shouhe was a renowned Martial Lord, even mentioning his name in transmitted voice between heaven and earth would have him immediately sensed by Mo Shouhe, so he refrained from saying his name.
"Do you think you can stop me? Without the ancient magic tree, killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand." Fang Lin said, his expression turning cold.
Cheng Qingyu showed no signs of fear in response to Fang Lin's threat and said, "In this era, you cannot act rashly; there are too many people here you need to fear."
"Oh? Do you think, because of this, I won't dare to make a move on you?" Fang Lin sneered, a thread of killing intent emerging in his eyes.
Fang Lin truly felt murderous intent toward Cheng Qingyu, and it was intensely strong; if conditions allowed, he genuinely wanted to kill her immediately.
Though Fang Lin was not a bloodthirsty person and Cheng Qingyu was Jade Qincheng, with whom he had no grudges, Cheng Qingyu also came from the future just like him, which was too great a threat to him, and the secret of coming from the future had to be absolutely safe, without any risk.
And this Cheng Qingyu was Fang Lin's greatest threat in this era, only by eliminating her completely could Fang Lin safely pursue other matters, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.
"You're thinking of killing me?" Cheng Qingyu also sensed Fang Lin's murderous intent.
Fang Lin snorted coldly, "I indeed want to."
Cheng Qingyu said, "Maybe I'll be the one to kill you."
At this time, the Steward Ma from the Pill Saint Palace came out, noticed Fang Lin and Cheng Qingyu standing face-to-face without speaking, and found it strange, thus directly approaching.
Fang Lin and Cheng Qingyu immediately ceased transmitting, bowed to Steward Ma in salute, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"Do you two know each other?" Steward Ma looked at the two and couldn't help asking.
Fang Lin shook his head, "Just met."
Cheng Qingyu responded with a hum.
Steward Ma nodded, his gaze falling more on Cheng Qingyu, feeling that she had extraordinary talent and potential in alchemy, whereas Fang Lin didn't leave much of a favorable impression on him.
"You two should rest earlier; the final assessment is the day after tomorrow, hope you both give it your best, leave no regrets," Steward Ma said.
"Understood," Fang Lin and Cheng Qingyu responded in unison.
Then Steward Ma left, and Fang Lin and Cheng Qingyu also didn't communicate further, separating.
However, Fang Lin was still pondering how to kill Cheng Qingyu, regardless of her purpose or how she arrived in this era, Fang Lin simply wanted to kill her to prevent any unexpected occurrences.
Once Fang Lin decided to do something, he would immediately act, and he had already started planning it in his heart.
"Currently it's unclear what Jade Qincheng's strength is, nor is it known whether there are others who have come to this era; but regardless of how many have come, they all must be killed," Fang Lin pondered in his dwelling, pacing back and forth, looking very grim.
Wanting to kill Jade Qincheng was indeed not an easy task; if they were in the future, Fang Lin would have acted without hesitation, but here, Fang Lin must be cautious, extremely cautious, not to act rashly or else calamity would be endless.
Suddenly, Fang Lin thought of one thing, perhaps it was the opportunity to eliminate Jade Qincheng.
