I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1306: Threatened With Hostages

In the Heavenly Palace.

The image of Little Xie defeating four Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures caused another huge sensation.

Countless powerful beings and mighty figures turned to look at the adorable little girl with astonishment etched onto their faces.

“So the most adorable living being here is also the most terrifying one.”

“It’s over. Our sect has almost no chance of securing any heavenly peaches now. Which one among us is going to be able to defeat such a formidable little girl?”

“Sect Leader An Lin’s sword spirit is way too powerful! Can we report him?”

“I didn’t know you were so keen on becoming the second Zhu Shan...”

“... Forget I said anything.”

All of the mighty figures present were looking at An Lin with envy and admiration.

This An Lin was handsome, rich, powerful, AND he had such a bad*ss sword spirit?

How infuriating!

“How can his sword spirit display such immense power in the Dao Observation Space?” Liu Mingxuan’s brows were deeply furrowed as he wore a befuddled expression.

Zhu Shan’s face was turning purple. Witnessing the success of An Lin made her feel as if there was a hand tearing viciously at her heart, striking her with pain and humiliation.

Many of the other Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were also wearing expressions of envy and yearning.

They would have no regrets in life if they had such an awesome sword spirit.

All of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members erupted into raucous cheers for their sect leader.

“Nice, Big Brother An! He never disappoints!”

“We can feast on heavenly peaches this time, hahaha...”

“I propose a celebratory toast!”

Everyone was already celebrating in advance.

Within the Dao Observation Space.

After that battle, Little Xie’s adorable little cheeks were slightly pale.

“Nice one, Little Xie!

“You’re awesome!”

An Lin immediately rushed over to assess her condition, as well as to rub her tummy and pinch her cheeks.

“F*ck off!” Little Xie exploded with rage.

An Lin withdrew his hands sheepishly.

He did not have the power to mess around with Little Xie at the moment.

“How are you feeling? I can sense that you’re a little feeble,” An Lin asked.

“I’m alright. I unleashed some power outside of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, so I suffered a little bit of backlash, that’s all,” Little Xie replied in her usual cold voice.

An Lin was feeling a little sorry for her. “Let me rub your tummy to make you feel better...”

Little Xie: “F*ck off!”

The two of them arrived at the enchantment barrier around the three heavenly peach trees.

An Lin wore a heavy expression on his face. “Do you think you can break this barrier? And are you going to suffer a backlash from doing so?”

Little Xie poked the barrier before her with her sword. “Even if there will be a backlash, I can just slice through the backlash energy.”

An Lin had no response to this.

Little Xie raised her sword and was just about to slash down toward the enchantment barrier when a burst of rustling sound suddenly erupted from the cherry blossom forest behind them.

Crackle crackle...

A colossus appeared nearby following the sounds of tree branches being crushed underfoot.

This was a creature with an extremely thick tree trunk, underneath which were countless roots that acted as scurrying legs. It had a pair of yellow eyes, and above that was a lush, green canopy.

This monster was Patriarch Shen Teng of the Spring Divine Tree Realm!

“Hahaha... An Lin, step aside if you don’t want your friends to suffer!”

Patriarch Shen Teng chortled with glee as the green vines on his branches danced in the air.

Most importantly, some of the branches were tied around Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan!

Patriarch Shen Teng was trying to use these two hostages to extort the two heavenly peach trees the Four Nine Immortal Sect had, but he didn’t think that this would lead him to the other three heavenly peach trees as well!

Liu Qianhuan opened her purple eyes with difficulty. “Ignore him, An Lin. Take the heavenly peach trees and just leave us to be eliminated!”

Xuanyuan Cheng wore a pained expression, but he still nodded and chimed in, “Don’t hesitate. More and more powerful beings will arrive on the scene. We need to take the initiative now!”

“Are you sure you want to do that? I can release a toxin within their body that will make them experience extreme pain, so extreme that they will wish for death!”

“However, this toxin is not lethal, so it won’t trigger the golden protective light...” Patriarch Shen Teng chuckled. “You know where I’m going with this, right?”

An Lin was renowned for sticking up for his friends and acquaintances, so he was sure that An Lin wouldn’t be able to allow his friends to be tortured.

In reality, that was the case.

An Lin simply couldn’t watch his friends suffer just for a few peaches.

“An Lin! Just leave us! It’s not like we haven’t experienced pain before!” Xuanyuan Cheng yelled.

He didn’t want to weigh down An Lin and the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

“Get the heavenly peaches! Screw the pain, I want to eat heavenly peaches!” Liu Qianhuan also yelled at the top of her lungs.

An Lin didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently stepped away from the enchantment barrier.

Little Xie hesitated momentarily before following suit.

“Don’t hurt my friends, or I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death,” An Lin said in a cold voice.

“Hahaha... Don’t worry, I’m only here for the heavenly peaches!” Patriarch Shen Teng was ecstatic at this development.

He had earned three heavenly peach trees without expending any effort!

It looked like the Spring Divine Tree Realm was going to be the biggest winner here.

This turn of events caught the entire audience in the Heavenly Palace off guard. There were twists and turns at every corner, and it made for some enthralling viewing.

“So that’s why Patriarch Shen Teng didn’t eliminate those two after their intense battles. This was what he had in mind all along.”

“It’s quite commendable that he was able to think this far ahead.”

“I’m actually quite surprised that An Lin would back down for the sake of his sect members.”

“Me too. His sword spirit is powerful enough to easily defeat Patriarch Shen Teng and take the heavenly peaches. To think he’s willing to give up the heavenly peaches just to spare his friends from pain.”

On the Heavenly Sword Sect table.

Zhu Shan was ecstatic upon seeing this.

However, she could only restrain her smile after being glared at by Liu Mingxuan.

An Lin was doing this to save Liu Qianhuan, which was something Liu Mingxuan wanted to see, so Zhu Shan couldn’t act too happy about this.

Patriarch Shen Teng hummed a cheerful tune as he made his way toward the enchantment barrier.

His green vines were still bound tightly around Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan’s bodies, and there was one poisonous thorn aimed at each of their necks, ready to thrust forward as soon as An Lin did something out of line.

Right at this moment, a voice floated into An Lin’s ear...

This was immediately followed by another voice.

“Little Xie, I have a bold plan...”

An Lin transmitted his voice surreptitiously.

Little Xie turned to him with her clear eyes as a gesture for him to continue.

An Lin: “So on so forth, so on so forth.”

Little Xie’s eyes lit up, and she nodded her head.

Boom!

An earth-shattering boom erupted.

Patriarch Shen Teng let loose an almighty roar, and one of his vines slashed down upon the enchantment barrier like a green saber, slicing it open in the most brutal and violent manner.

Just as Patriarch Shen Teng tore open the enchantment barrier.

“Go!”

An Lin and Little Xie quickly sprang into action!
