Chapter 60: Spoils of War
Wang Hong took out a second-tier Arrow Rain Talisman, infused it with Spiritual Energy, only to find that his Spiritual Energy dissipated like mud in the ocean.
The consumption of Spiritual Energy by the Talisman was, relatively speaking, small, but a second-tier Talisman was a realm higher than Wang Hong.
For a Foundation Building cultivator, their internal energy was like magical power, much more refined than Spiritual Energy.
It wasn't until Wang Hong had depleted nearly a quarter of his Spiritual Energy that he finally activated the Talisman.
The Talisman transformed into numerous golden arrows, striking the protective barrier.
At this moment, Lin An, tormented by the Spirit Bees, once again activated a second-tier Talisman on himself.
Under the clash of internal and external forces, the defense barrier finally couldn't bear the strain, bursting with a sound, dispersing into twinkling lights in the air.
The wooden plaque, about a foot in size, was now covered in cracks and fell to the ground.
Simultaneously, He Yuan, who was manipulating the formation, spurted out blood and fainted.
Without the suppression of the formation, Lin An, despite being heavily injured, slowly climbed up from the ground, blood oozing from several wounds.
Even though he was swollen from the bee venom, resembling a large fleshy ball with a face like a pig's head, and had suffered two explosions that left him charred, his Foundation Building pressure still lingered, causing everyone to unconsciously take a step back.
Lin An stood still, spinning like a top. The Spirit Bees that had covered his body were thrown off in all directions.
After getting rid of the Spirit Bees and pausing, he didn't immediately attack. In a calm tone, he spoke, "Young friend! How about making a deal with me?"
"How do we trade?" Wang Hong asked cautiously.
"I offer the heads of those on my list and items in my Storage Bag in exchange for a promise from you," Lin An said calmly, as if he were discussing someone else's matters.
Wang Hong and his group were surprised, wondering what promise Lin An wanted. Or perhaps he was just trying to buy time to recover his strength.
"I am severely injured. If I were to attack now, I could at least kill twenty or thirty of you. I only want one promise in returnto leave a way out for the Lin Family."
Considering Lin An's words, now that the Large Formation had been broken and Lin An, though injured, was still alive, he wasn't easy to deal with.
If Wang Hong attacked recklessly, there would undoubtedly be significant casualties. He didn't want widespread harm to his subordinates, especially since the remaining cultivators of the Lin Family were not a significant threat.
With Lin Family's vitality severely damaged and no more Foundation Building cultivators left, their decline was inevitable. It would be challenging for them to establish a foothold, and they probably wouldn't have the energy to seek revenge.
Even if they sought revenge, Wang Hong had no fear of same-tier cultivators.
"Alright! I agree. If members of the Lin Family don't actively trouble me, I won't retaliate against the Lin Family. We'll consider this matter settled. How about that?" Wang Hong proposed.
Upon hearing this, Lin An took out a blank Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag and entered information into it.
