Gods: Start with Goblins

Luo Dan's sword energy was forcibly suppressed by the evil cultivator.
Their eyes met in the air,

Sparks flew.

Luo Dan sneered.
There was unquestionable determination in his tone:
“Why shouldn’t I?

You have done many evil things.
Today is your end!"

The evil cultivator gritted his teeth.

Enduring the severe pain brought by the sword energy,
But he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

He knew that a head-on confrontation would only put him in a more passive position.

So, he decided to make a deal with Luodan in order to prepare for the future.

"Luo Dan, why are you so stubborn?" The evil cultivator's voice suddenly became gentle, even with a hint of temptation, "You are still very talented, why do you have to follow that old guy and suffer? You can follow me, I can accept you as my disciple and teach you the supreme evil cultivation method. I promise that you will definitely be much more successful if you follow me than if you follow that old guy. Moreover, if you wait for a few hundred years, you can help me regain my freedom. By then, the entire cultivation world will be ours."

Luo Dan frowned upon hearing this. He couldn't believe his ears. This evil cultivator actually wanted to win him over at this time? He sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Do you think I will believe your lies? You have done so many evil things. How can I be with you? Today, I will definitely get rid of this scourge of yours!"

However, just as Luo Dan was about to take action, he suddenly felt the demonic energy gradually stop fluctuating. The evil cultivator did not seem to have any intention of continuing to resist, but instead looked confident. This made Luo Dan feel a little confused. He did not know what the evil cultivator was up to.

The next second, he heard the evil cultivator in the black air say, "Luo Dan, don't rush to refuse. I know you are full of hostility towards me now, but I can give you time to consider. As long as you are willing, I can wait for your reply at any time. Remember, my promise is always valid. You, you better think it over carefully."

After he finished speaking, the black gas suddenly churned, and then turned into a black shadow, quickly disappearing into the depths of the cave. Luo Dan stood there, watching the evil cultivator leave, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this battle was not really over, but just a temporary end. In the future, there are more challenges waiting for him to face.

Luo Dan felt a little noisy in his ears. The evil cultivator's words were like flies buzzing around, making him feel annoyed. He waved his hand suddenly, interrupting the evil cultivator's words, and his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Since ancient times, evil cannot defeat good, this is an iron law. I will never join the army with an evil demon like you, so you'd better give up! Also, are you going to fight me or not? Stop wasting time here and saying meaningless things!"

The evil cultivator was a little stunned by Luo Dan's sudden interruption, but soon regained his composure. He knew that Luo Dan would not easily agree to his proposal. After all, Luo Dan was the kind of person with firm beliefs and a sense of justice. However, the evil cultivator did not intend to continue fighting with Luo Dan. Fighting Luo Dan now would undoubtedly be a waste of his original energy. He still needed to find time to break through the barrier and come out to strengthen the entire force. He absolutely could not waste his energy on such a meaningless battle.

"Hmph, Luo Dan, don't think I'm really afraid of you." The evil cultivator sneered, a chilling aura in his voice, "I just don't want to get entangled with you here. Once I break through the barrier and come out, it won't be too late to deal with you. When that happens, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Luo Dan frowned upon hearing this. He was well aware of the cunning and insidiousness of the evil cultivator. He knew that the reason why the evil cultivator did not take action now was probably because he was planning something. So, he stared at the evil cultivator vigilantly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Oh? Really? Then I'll wait and see how you deal with me. However, I have to remind you, don't beg for mercy after I beat you to a pulp!"

. . . . . . . . . .

The evil cultivator was so angry at Luo Dan's words that his face turned blue, but he did not flare up. He looked at Luo Dan deeply, then his body flashed and he turned into a black shadow and quickly disappeared into the depths of the cave. Luo Dan stood there, watching the evil cultivator leave, his heart full of vigilance and alertness. He knew that this battle was not really over, but just a temporary end. In the future, there are more challenges and dangers waiting for him to face.

"How about I send you away from this place and we can call a temporary truce? I'll let you go today, but next time we meet, you might not be so lucky." Luo Dan rubbed his brows, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and distrust. He knew the cunning of the evil cultivators and didn't believe that they would let him go so easily.

"You old man might be lying. Why should I trust you so much?" Luo Dan sneered, his tone full of vigilance. "Do you think I will be fooled by you so easily? Don't dream!"

However, what surprised Luo Dan was that the evil cultivator in the black air did not continue to entangle him, but instead directly launched a powerful force, pushing him out. This force was so strong that Luo Dan could not resist it at all, and he could only let his body be engulfed by this force and quickly moved away from the cave full of evil aura.

When he came to his senses, Luo Dan found himself standing in an open space outside the cave, surrounded by the familiar light of the formation. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had actually been sent out of the cave by the evil cultivator!
Luo Dan always felt that things were not that simple. He racked his brains but could not figure out why the evil cultivator would let him go so easily. Was it really because of his strong strength that the evil cultivator was hesitant? Or was the evil cultivator holding back some bigger conspiracy?

Just as Luo Dan was lost in thought, Qilin and Jiaolong beside him also saw this scene. They looked up suddenly, their faces full of disbelief. You know, the evil cultivators have always been their mortal enemies, and they have never done such a "generous" thing.

"This...what's going on?" Qilin asked in surprise, his voice full of confusion.

"I don't know either, but I always feel that something is wrong." The dragon shook his head, staring at the entrance of the cave, as if trying to see the secret inside.

Luo Dan took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. He knew that no matter what the evil cultivator intended, he had to remain vigilant and be ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. And this temporary truce might just be the calm before the storm... "How is this possible? Why did he walk out of the evil cultivator's cave safely?" Jiaolong asked with a questioning tone. He widened his eyes and looked at Qilin in disbelief, as if looking for a reasonable explanation. "Didn't you say that only people with extremely strong mental states can resist the evil aura in the cave and come out safely? Could it be that Luo Dan's strength has reached such a terrifying level that even the evil cultivator can't do anything to him?"

Qilin was also confused. He shook his head and frowned, "I don't know how Luodan got out. Logically speaking, he couldn't have gotten rid of the evil cultivator's control so easily. Could it be that the evil cultivator really let him go? But how is this possible?"

"I didn't feel any fluctuations from the formation at all. This is very strange." Qilin touched his nose and fell into deep thought. "If Luo Dan wants to come out, he must break the barrier outside. However, we didn't feel any signs of the barrier being broken. What's going on?"

The people below couldn't help but sigh in admiration when they saw Luo Dan successfully escape. Although they knew Luo Dan's strength, they didn't expect that he could walk out of the evil cultivator's cave safely. For a moment, they felt a sense of admiration for Luo Dan and cast admiring glances at him.

"Lord Luodan is so powerful that even that evil cultivator can't do anything to him."

"Yes, it seems that our worries were unnecessary. Lord Luodan really returned safely."

"I don't know how he did it. It's really admirable."

Everyone was talking about it, full of curiosity and admiration for Luo Dan's strength. Luo Dan just smiled faintly without explaining too much. He knew that in addition to his own strength, he was able to escape successfully this time, and it was also inseparable from the help of Qilin and Jiaolong, as well as his firm belief in justice.

Luo Dan is truly a genius of the younger generation. He is so strong and escaped from the evil cultivator's cave so quickly. Everyone looked at him in amazement, as if they had seen the star of hope for the future. They wanted to cheer and celebrate Luo Dan's safe return, but at this moment, Qilin stood up directly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Do you think you can be of any use if you escape?" Qilin said coldly, with murderous intent in his voice, "I want to see how strong you are to deal with my next move."

There was no trace of life in Qilin's body, only death. He seemed like the god of death who had walked out of hell. Anyone who approached him would feel a chill on their backs, as if a cold breath would grab them directly from the ground, as if it could make them die silently at any time.

Jiaolong was aware of the current situation. He knew that Qilin's killing intention towards Luodan was not groundless. So he hurried back to the man and said anxiously, "Hurry up, take him away from here! Qilin is out of control, he will not show mercy to Luodan."

Before the man could figure out the current situation, he was dragged out by the dragon. As he ran, he looked back at Luo Dan and Qilin, his heart full of doubts and worries.

"Jiaolong, what is going on? Why did Qilin attack Luodan?" the man asked.

"Don't ask. We don't have time to explain now." Jiaolong said hurriedly, "In short, we must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid we will be involved in this fight."

Led by the dragon, the man and Luo Dan quickly left the scene. Qilin stood there, staring coldly in the direction they left, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He knew that this fight was far from over, and Luo Dan would become his next target.

“This guy actually brought out something sealed under the Holy Mountain!” An old man said in a low voice, his eyes full of horror. “That’s a god-level venerable! You can imagine that even if it’s just a body that has lost consciousness, it’s much stronger than an ordinary person. Even if several sects join forces, they will not be his opponent.”

His words shocked the man beside him. He asked in disbelief, "Qilin... actually has such great power? How could he release a being of that level?"

The old man nodded heavily, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a little: "Yes, the power of Qilin is far beyond our imagination. Now, we must find him as soon as possible and stop him from continuing to wreak havoc on the world."

Luo Dan heard the conversation between the two people from a distance. He frowned and had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he learned that the two people were planning to escape, he went forward without hesitation and grabbed their collars.

"Don't even think about disappearing from my world!" Luo Dan said in a cold tone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. "Also, you are bound by magic and you can't break free. Now, tell me, what exactly did you mean by what you just said? What did that Qilin release?"

Seeing this, Jiaolong couldn't help but feel helpless. He knew that it was meaningless to hide it now. So, he simply told Luo Dan the truth: "Okay, I'll tell you. Qilin used some unknown method to release the god-level Venerable sealed under Lingshan. Although the Venerable's body has lost consciousness, his power is extremely strong. Several sects combined are no match for him. Now, Qilin is planning to use the power of that Venerable to realize his ambitions."

Luo Dan's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He knew the terrifying power of the God-level Venerable, and he also understood what kind of disaster Qilin's ambition would bring to the world. So, he decided without hesitation that he would stop Qilin's plan at all costs and protect the peace and tranquility of the world.

"Then I will tell Qilin the secrets sealed under this sacred mountain," an old man said in a heavy tone, with a resolute look in his eyes. "Under here, not only are there many corpses of God-level masters buried, but their residual souls have not dissipated with the passage of time. Instead, they have formed obsessions that linger on this land. Qilin, he personally released the corpse of a God-level master, using most of his power. You just wait, once the God-level master is resurrected, then this world will be over."

Luo Dan was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the sea of ​​flowers, his eyes penetrated the gorgeous petals and saw the secrets hidden underneath. It was a dead water, and the breath it exuded was exactly the same as the breath of Qilin, full of evil and coldness. (End of this chapter)
