"Can't come back?"
"Then you won't live past tonight!"
Lin Xiao Tian threatened.
Li Da Zhu panicked.
"Brother, don't... don't kill me. I really can't make him come back. If the Moving Token is with him, he'll be protected by a formation, but once the token leaves, the formation disappears. The monsters in Black Mountain won't let him go."
"Brother, killing me is useless."
"If you insist on finding him, why don't you let me go myself? Perhaps he's lucky and still alive?"
Lin Xiao Tian was furious.
Giving the Moving Token to Li Da Zhu now would be like a meat bun thrown to a dog.
What a pity that Wang Cheng died just like that.
The monsters deep within Black Mountain were all at the Nascent Soul stage or above. A cultivator like Wang Cheng had no hope of survival.
Lin Xiao Tian suppressed the rage that wanted to kill Li Da Zhu.
He knew there were more important matters to clarify.
For example, why could Li Da Zhu control the Moving Token?
And why did Li Da Zhu know so much?
This time, Lin Xiao Tian appeared directly.
Although he could use his domain, the domain at the Foundation Establishment stage consumed too much spiritual energy, and Lin Xiao Tian didn't dare to use it for too long.
With the help of his stealth technique, even though he was right in front of Li Da Zhu, Li Da Zhu couldn't find him.
For safety, Lin Xiao Tian took Li Da Zhu back to his own home. Previously, Li Da Zhu had specifically returned to the graveyard, and Lin Xiao Tian was worried if there was something fishy there.
"Li Da Zhu, tell me honestly, where did this Moving Token come from?" Lin Xiao Tian demanded.
"This... this is a long story..."
Li Da Zhu began to recount how he obtained the Moving Token.
But as Lin Xiao Tian listened closely, he found inconsistencies.
For instance, Li Da Zhu claimed he found the Moving Token on the road. Lin Xiao Tian asked him where he found it and approximately when.
Although Li Da Zhu answered, his replies were vague.
Lin Xiao Tian knew this guy was lying again.
He hadn't expected that even facing death, Li Da Zhu wouldn't be honest.
Lin Xiao Tian moved the Moving Token aside and completely restrained Li Da Zhu, just in case Li Da Zhu tried any more tricks.
However, no matter what methods Lin Xiao Tian used, Li Da Zhu continued to lie.
Li Da Zhu was cunning. He knew Lin Xiao Tian wanted to extract information from him. As long as he had some value, he could continue to negotiate with Lin Xiao Tian. He knew Lin Xiao Tian wouldn't kill him casually.
And Li Da Zhu's guess was correct.
Although Lin Xiao Tian really wanted to kill Li Da Zhu, if he did, the secrets hidden by the Moving Token would never be revealed. Moreover, Wang Cheng's sacrifice would be meaningless.
"If you're unwilling to talk, I have ways!"
Lin Xiao Tian restrained Li Da Zhu and, at the same time, contacted the Lin family.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
The Lin family had many such professionals!
Since the village now had a road, the Lin family's interrogation team quickly arrived at Jinsha Village.
Lin Xiao Tian concealed the surrounding aura so that the commotion inside wouldn't be heard, while he also closely monitored every move within, preventing Li Da Zhu from playing any more tricks.
"You... you don't mess around! I have my principles. If you push me too far, I can't guarantee what I'll do?" Li Da Zhu's mouth was still tough.
An hour later.
"Brothers, please be patient. I'll confess everything!"
"Didn't you say you had principles?"
"I meant, if you push me too far, I'll modify my principles." Li Da Zhu caved.
Li Da Zhu was cunning, but he was a softie!
Lin Xiao Tian finally learned about Li Da Zhu's affair.
It turned out the Moving Token wasn't found by Li Da Zhu. Li Da Zhu didn't even know about it at first.
"Do you know Lin Xiao Tian? This item belongs to his parents. If you want to find it, go look for him!" Li Da Zhu said.
The interrogation team exchanged glances.
What a joke!
Their boss was Lin Xiao Tian, so how could they go ask Lin Xiao Tian now?
"Enough nonsense, continue confessing!"
Li Da Zhu had no choice but to continue.
Lin Xiao Tian also learned the truth.
It turned out the Moving Token had always been hidden in the graveyard of Jinsha Village. It was specially left for Lin Xiao Tian by his parents.
Lin Xiao Tian's parents were also cultivators and knew that Lin Xiao Tian was born with spiritual roots and would surely become a cultivator in the future.
Originally, they intended to train him themselves, but at that time, they had important matters to attend to and might be gone for a long time. So, they wanted to leave something for their son.
Besides the Moving Token, there were many other items that aided cultivation. However, Lin Xiao Tian was too young at the time, and giving those items to him would be a waste. Entrusting them to others wasn't safe either. So, they decided to leave them at the graveyard, which was rarely visited and located within the village, making it convenient for Lin Xiao Tian to find them.
They also left Lin Xiao Tian a letter explaining these matters.
However, who could have imagined that Lin Xiao Tian would later be beaten senseless, his home occupied by Li Da Zhu, and this letter falling into Li Da Zhu's hands?
The letter had been treated so that its contents would only appear after twenty years. But at that time, Lin Xiao Tian was mentally impaired, and Li Da Zhu saw everything in the letter.
At first, Li Da Zhu didn't believe it, thinking it was a prank. After all, the letter mentioned immortal cultivation, which seemed too absurd. In the end, he destroyed the letter.
Therefore, after Lin Xiao Tian recovered, he had no idea about the letter.
The matter of the Moving Token would likely have remained buried forever.
But when Li Da Zhu saw Lin Xiao Tian again and witnessed his abilities, he suddenly remembered the contents of the letter.
A fool suddenly recovering and becoming a renowned doctor was indeed strange, wasn't it?
What followed was Li Da Zhu seizing the opportunity to ask Lin Xiao Tian for a plot in Jinsha Village's graveyard, which was actually a search for Lin Xiao Tian's parents' inheritance.
Under the guise of repairing the tomb, Li Da Zhu searched almost all the graves and finally found the one hiding the Moving Token.
The Moving Token had been processed by Lin Xiao Tian's parents; it could be recognized by blood. They did this for Lin Xiao Tian's convenience, as the Lin Xiao Tian of twenty years later might still be an ordinary person.
But with the help of the Moving Token, Lin Xiao Tian could enter the depths of Black Mountain, where the spiritual energy was abundant. Moreover, the Moving Token contained the Lin family's ancestral cultivation techniques, which could help Lin Xiao Tian cultivate.
Who would have thought that all this would benefit Li Da Zhu in the end?
Li Da Zhu, an ordinary person, managed to cultivate by force with the help of the Moving Token. With the Marrow Cleansing Pills left by Lin Xiao Tian's parents, he could withstand the spiritual energy erosion.
Li Da Zhu didn't have malicious intentions.
He simply wanted to have everything that Lin Xiao Tian had.
