The green-robed old man sat on the gourd and looked up at the sky. He expressionlessly slapped the gourd and was about to fly up. Suddenly, his expression changed and he pinched two fingers in front of him. A ray of crystal light was caught in his hand. He sneered, but his smile soon froze.
The crystal light between his fingers slowly dissipated. It was just an afterimage.
At this moment, the old man quickly turned his head and the crystal light flashed across his cheek. After a few flashes, it disappeared.
The old man didn't stop him, but his eyes were gloomy. He touched the wound on his cheek and put the blood on his hand to the corner of his mouth. He licked his lips with his tongue and then closed his eyes.
"This little guy is very bold!"
After a long moment passed, he opened his eyes and slapped the bottle gourd, causing it to shrink down until it was the size of a hand. He took it out, opened the stopper, and took a big gulp. The aroma of alcohol spread out in all directions.
In Hou Fen, although the rank 4 cultivation country was able to get rid of the fire beasts, the fire spiritual energy here was too violent, making it impossible for people to cultivate. Adding on the fact that the temperature was too high, there was a constant flow of lava, and the volcanoes continued to erupt, turning the mortal country into a wasteland.
The imperial city of the mortals was now covered in fire. There were no buildings or living beings. The entire country of Hou Fen was like a dead land.
Wang Lin and Li Muwan quickly flew by. Both of them silently watched the scene on the ground. Although Wang Lin felt a bit regretful, if it wasn't for the heaven defying bead absorbing the fire spirit, he would have been devoured by the fire spirit.
All of this could only be said to be a coincidence; it had nothing to do with right or wrong.
Even if he knew the consequences, if he had a choice, Wang Lin would still have chosen to save himself.
The two of them flew across the sky like a ray of light and soon passed by where they first met. Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin but didn't say a word.
As for Wang Lin, he was thinking about the person chasing after him, so he didn't have time to care.
While flying, Wang Lin sensed something and stretched out his right hand. The crystal light flying sword landed in his hand.
Suddenly, Wang Lin stopped. He stared at a drop of blood on the edge of the flying sword and used his hand to scrape it. After looking at it for a while, his expression became uncertain. He could feel a dense amount of spiritual energy coming from this drop of blood. This person was only a drop of blood, yet it contained this much spiritual energy. Just what level of cultivation had his cultivation reached?!
Wang Lin took out the jade bottle and put the blood back into his bag of holding. His heart felt like it was being crushed by a mountain. He looked up at the large 'punish' character above his head and laughed coldly. Without another word, he grabbed Li Muwan and sped away.
The border of Hou Fen quickly passed by. In the distance, one could see the mountain that the Hou Fen Union first occupied. At this moment, the symbols of the four great sects of the Hou Fen Union were hung high up, showing that this place was now occupied by the Hou Fen Union.
At this point, Wang Lin stopped. After a moment of silence, he said, "I won't see you off!"
Li Muwan bit her lips and looked behind her. She softly said, "How about you come with me back to the Lou He Sect to hide for a while?"
Wang Lin's expression remained the same as he calmly said, "No need!"
After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Muwan. His right hand hit his forehead and Li Muwan's soul blood flew out.
Wang Lin didn't return it. Instead, he sent out his Ji Realm Divine Sense and left a strand of it inside the soul blood.
"Four years of time, thank you!
I left a strand of my Divine Sense inside the soul blood. From now on, no one under the Nascent Soul stage will be able to harm you. "
Wang Lin's voice was calm as he slowly spoke.
Li Muwan's face revealed a complicated expression. She softly said,
"In the future … will we ever meet again?"
Wang Lin was silent. He softly sighed and didn't answer her question. Instead, he took out an item from his interspatial pouch and handed it over to Li Muwan.
This item was the priceless Hundred Beasts Spiritual Stove. After killing Kun Sang, Wang Lin took it back.
Li Muwan took the Hundred Beasts Spiritual Stove. After looking at it for a while, she raised her head and softly said, "These are the pills I've refined over the years. The specific effects are explained in this jade slip." With that, she took out more than ten small bottles and a jade slip.
After Wang Lin received them, he put them back into his interspatial pouch. He cupped his hands towards Li Muwan and said, "Four years ago, I promised to keep you safe. Now, I've fulfilled my promise. From now on, you and I don't owe each other anything. Goodbye!"
With that, Wang Lin's body moved. Just as he was about to leave, Li Muwan suddenly shouted, "Senior Brother, this is for you!"
With that, she took out a white jade and threw it at Wang Lin. Then, without looking back, she flew toward the Hou Fen Union.
Wang Lin caught the jade and scanned it with his divine sense. The words that Li Muwan left behind immediately echoed in his ears. "Senior Brother, Wan Er doesn't know what your name is. You haven't told me in these four years, so you probably don't know my name either … In these four years, Wan Er thanks you for saving my life many times. Wan Er will never forget the life in the Sea of Devils … Since the separation is inevitable, Wan Er knows that senior brother often goes into closed door cultivation, so she gave you this jade slip. This jade slip contains the peak of Wan Er's formation. It was taken from the Fighting Evil Sect's Fighting Dragon Formation and slightly modified.
This formation combines both offense and defense. However, compared to offense, defense is the foundation of this formation. I hope that when senior brother goes into closed door cultivation, this formation will be able to protect you a bit. If this is the case, then Wan Er will be satisfied … "
Holding the jade and listening to her words, Wang Lin silently pondered as he watched Li Muwan disappear into the distance. He put away the jade and disappeared without a trace. After he was far away, he slapped his forehead and his body turned into specks of light and disappeared into the ground.
His entire body entered the heaven defying bead space. At this moment, his aura disappeared.
Wang Lin had already made up his mind. After sending Li Muwan back, he would enter the heaven defying bead space. The kill order had a duration of 100 days. For him, it was only a few more days to cultivate in the heaven defying bead space.
This was also the reason why he killed Qian Kun even though he knew the Ten Thousand Demons Hundred Days Execution Order was dangerous.
The green-robed old man that was chasing Wang Lin in the country of Hou Fen appeared not long after Wang Lin disappeared. His face was filled with confusion. He lowered his head and looked for a bit before sinking back into the ground. After searching for a while, the old man came out of the ground. His face was filled with surprise and he muttered to himself, "Disappeared … I can't even sense the soul blood anymore. It seems like this little guy has a lot of secrets."
Just at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and expressionlessly looked at the three rays of light flying toward him. Soon, the three rays of light landed on the ground, revealing a woman and two men.
The woman in the middle was dressed in rich clothes, and she was extremely beautiful. On the left side of her was a man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing. He wore a black long robe and a square scarf on his head, and he looked like a scholarly and refined scholar.
On the right of the woman was a tall, red-faced old man. This old man's face was very different from normal people. His eyes were as big as bells and there seemed to be flames burning inside them.
The green-robed old man looked at the three of them and calmly asked, "What business do the three of you have here?"
The woman was Feng Luan, and there was no need to mention the scholarly man beside her. He was her cultivation partner, Yang Sen. As for the old man, he was one of the Nascent Soul ancestors of the War God Shrine. His cultivation level was the same as Yang Sen's.
Yang Sen looked at the old man with dread. He couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level, so he clasped his hands and asked, "Is fellow cultivator from Xuan Wu?"
The green-robed old man rolled his eyes and calmly said, "Who is your fellow cultivator? Scram for this Old Man, or else I'll take your Nascent Souls and use them to refine treasures!"
Yang Sen's expression changed and he sneered. Just as he was about to speak, the red-faced old man suddenly stopped him. His bell-like eyes stared at the seven golden plum blossoms three inches above the old man's clothes. His expression immediately changed and he clasped his hands. "Are you from the Sea of Devils?"
Yang Sen and Feng Luan looked at each other before looking at the plum blossoms under the old man's clothes.
The azure-robed old man frowned. Feeling a bit impatient, he waved his right hand, and the three of them felt a sudden gust of wind. They were thrown thousands of kilometers away, and even their Nascent Souls showed signs of leaving their bodies.
After they finally stabilized themselves, their expressions became gloomy. Yang Sen asked, "What cultivation level?"
The red-faced old man bitterly said, "At least late stage Nascent Soul …"
Feng Luan frowned and softly asked, "Zou Bin, what are those golden plum blossoms?"
The green-robed old man slowly said, "I believe you all have heard that 300 years ago, before I entered the War God Shrine, I traveled the Sea of Devils. With my early stage Nascent Soul cultivation, as long as I don't enter any dangerous places, I should be able to stay alive.
The Sea of Devils has a total of 999 cities, and more than 300 of them are in the inner sea. Among the many cities in the inner sea, there are seven that are called the Seven Apricot Cities.
These seven cities are intertwined with each other and are shaped like the petals of a plum blossom. From a distance, they do look a bit similar.
There are a total of seven city lords here, and each of them have unfathomable cultivation levels. Rumor has it that they have all reached the Soul Formation stage, but no one knows if that is true or not. "
Feng Luan frowned and asked, "That person just now …"
The red-faced old man's expression was serious as he said, "If I'm not wrong, that person should be one of the city lords of the Seven Apricot Cities.
However, the demonic cultivators of the Sea of Devils, especially those from the inner sea, don't casually go out to sea. I'm afraid he won't stay here for long. "
The three of them looked at each other and felt depressed. They looked at the green-robed old man and went around him to the side of the Hou Fen Union's mountain.
The three of them felt an unfamiliar Nascent Soul aura nearby and thought it was someone from Xuan Wu. However, they didn't expect the answer to be even more distressing.
The green-robed old man walked around a few times and let out a snort. He spread out his divine sense and increased the range of his search. This time, he didn't let go of any clues. From the ground to the sky, he carefully scanned the area.
The green-robed old man's divine sense slowly scanned the area. His divine sense slowly spread out until it reached the Hou Fen Union. However, the old man didn't stop. He scanned the area once and then withdrew his divine sense. After doing this a few times, he still didn't find anything.
I've tried my best to write today. I still need 364 chapters, 394 chapters, and two chapters on the 30th. If I can't finish them, I'll continue tomorrow. Don't worry.
