Chapter 73: Each Goes Their Own Way
Dream-Making Expert.
Lin Qi looked at the Dark Blue Ice Crystal Flower growing from the Pit.
His expression was blank as he glanced at Gushe, silently withdrew the Dharma Idol, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed Qi Refining Pills to restore his completely depleted true qi.
“Lin Qi, those two were Foundation Establishment Elders of the Immortal Academy?”
“Wow, you’re screwed.”
“You’re definitely going to be wanted by the Immortal Academy.”
“The Immortal Academy will definitely send Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, maybe even Nascent Soul cultivators to hunt you down!”
Gushe shouted with glee at his misfortune.
Wang Huaigu and the others, who had been dumbfounded from start to finish, now looked at Gushe with complicated expressions.
This foolish Gushe — she had also been part of killing those two just now.
“Hoo.”
Lin Qi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, recovered a bit of true qi, and stood up, paying no attention to the gloating Gushe.
Lin Qi first cupped his hands apologetically toward Wang Huaigu and the others. “Fellow Daoists, my apologies.”
“Fellow Daoist Lin, you exaggerate.”
“We’re the ones who should be apologizing.”
“When your enemies came, we couldn’t help at all.”

“The mountains are high and the rivers long. Until we meet again.”
Lin Qi smiled and cupped his hands toward Wang Huaigu and the others, then without a shred of hesitation activated the Dharma Idol once more, swung his fist, and smashed open the seal at the cave entrance in a few strikes.
The Wind-Thunder Wings spread behind him, and he shot away into the distance.
The group silently watched Lin Qi leave, exchanged glances, and could only sigh.
Suddenly, Qiuyun cried out in alarm. “Where’s Gushe?”
“Gushe left with Fellow Daoist Lin.”
Li Qizi spoke in a low voice.
“Why didn’t you stop her?!”
Qiuyun said angrily.
“Why should I?”
Li Qizi retorted. “You think Gushe was with us? In truth, she chose to fight side by side with Fellow Daoist Lin.”
“As for us — when a Fellow Daoist meets an enemy, we stood by and watched…”
“Lao Qi, Fellow Daoist Lin hasn’t been with us long, and we don’t know the details of their grudge. Hesitating is only human nature.”
Wang Huaigu could not help but speak up.
“I understand what you mean.”
Li Qizi cut off Wang Huai—
