In the depths of the eastern part of the ancestral city, there was a seemingly ordinary mansion, but it was very large. From afar, it looked like a fierce beast.
It was completely silent outside the mansion, and there was no one around. It was as if this was a forbidden area in the eastern part of the city. Even if one saw it from afar, they would have to go around it and not pass by.
The wind and snow fell, accumulating a thick layer of snow on the ground. It was suffused with silver light and emitted a chilling aura.
As the silver light shined, the closed gate of the mansion gave off a sense of pressure.
There were two stone lions outside the gate. Their eyes were closed, but there was a fierce aura around them. It was as if once they opened their eyes, they would angrily devour someone.
There was a red plaque with a green frame above the gate. There were two large, golden words written on it.
"Li Mansion."
A shocking arrow Qi spread out from those two words, causing the surrounding snow and wind to also seem to contain killing intent as it swirled around and descended.
There were rows of corridors inside the mansion, and there were many beautiful pavilions anchored to the ground. However, at this moment, the snow was still as calm as before; there was no sound or shadow.
Behind the corridors of the mansion was a secret room made of green stone. This stone room was covered in snow, and it was completely silent inside. However, at this moment, the moment Wang Lin stepped into the eastern part of the city, the sound of a bow humming came from inside the stone room!
In this extremely silent world, the sound of the bow was very clear and filled the area.
There was an old man sitting inside the secret room, and before him was a wooden shelf. The wood was completely purple and looked extraordinary. This shelf was very strange, and at a glance, it seemed like it was missing something.
If a bow was placed on this shelf, it would be complete!
At this moment, the humming sound was coming from this purple wooden shelf. The blurry image of a bow appeared on it, and it kept humming.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be arrow energy in his eyes as he stared at the purple wooden shelf.
"The Patriarch's Bow let out a long cry … This … This is something that will only happen when the Patriarch's Bow appears in close proximity. Could it be … could it be that the Patriarch's Bow is nearby?!"
The old man was startled for a moment before he took a deep breath and waved his right hand at the shelf. Immediately, a purple light flashed and turned into an arrow that shot out of the stone room. Its speed was not fast, and it seemed to be searching for something before it disappeared into the distance.
The old man's eyes flashed and he immediately shouted, "Li Yun, Li Shan, the two of you follow the arrow and see if you can detect the aura of the Ancestor's bow!"
As his voice echoed, two figures suddenly flew out from two quiet pavilions in the deathly silent mansion. They moved like smoke and disappeared into the distance along with the purple arrow.
At that moment, Wang Lin walked through the wind and snow as he walked along the limestone roads of the eastern part of the city. The snow on the ground was very thick. Wang Lin looked at the city, which was huge. Just the eastern part of the city seemed boundless. It was something that Wang Lin had never seen before in his life.
If the eastern part of the city was like this, then there was no need to talk about the entire ancestral city. This place was a rare city!
The pedestrians quickly passed by. Some of them noticed Wang Lin, but they only glanced at him for a bit before walking away.
There were many shops in the area, as well as numerous mansions, all of which emanated strong Immortal qi. It was an extraordinary sight, and because of that Immortal qi, and the snowy wind, the entire East District seemed like a strange place.
Wang Lin silently walked through the eastern part of the city. It wasn't until the moon arrived that he arrived at a multi-story inn. Wang Lin took out some celestial stones and chose a place to stay.
The residence wasn't large, and it was very simple. However, the Immortal energy within it was much denser than outside. Although it wasn't an abode, the surrounding walls, doors, and windows were covered with restrictions and seals that could be activated on their own. It was a good place for closed-door cultivation.
At this moment, Liu Jinbiao was excitedly looking around. The Golden Exalt sea dragon's body had shrunk to the size of a finger, and it was lying lazily on Liu Jinbiao's shoulder.
The sea dragon had a good relationship with Liu Jinbiao, which Wang Lin wasn't surprised at all. After all, with Liu Jinbiao's ability, it was normal for him to do this.
Night fell, and the wind and snow lessened a lot. Liu Jinbiao stood next to the window and looked at the passersby outside. There seemed to be music coming from the brightly lit area in the distance, and his expression became even more excited.
"Master, this is a good place. It's almost the same as a city in the mortal world. Look over there, I'm sure there are beauties there!" Liu Jinbiao pointed at the brightly lit area in the distance.
"Master, this Xu Liguo can't be changed. If he's here, he'll definitely be having fun every night. If we want to find him, we should go to a place like this.
"Ahem, I, Liu Jinbiao, am a gentleman. This … How about this, I'll force myself to go there and see if Xu Liguo is there. Master, what do you think …" Liu Jinbiao suppressed his excitement and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin looked at Liu Jinbiao and knew that he didn't want to stay in the room. After thinking for a bit, he nodded.
When he nodded, Liu Jinbiao became excited and immediately walked out with the sea dragon.
After Liu Jinbiao left, Wang Lin sat alone on a chair in the residence. He held a jug of wine and looked at the snow outside the window as he drank.
"Lian Daofei … Do you still remember what happened in the cave world …" The moonlight outside the window became even stronger and the snow became even heavier. The jug of wine in his hand was empty.
Wang Lin let out a sigh and put down the jug of wine. He got up and walked alone in the east side of the city, which was shrouded in darkness but not too dark.
Music and the sound of people came from the east side of the city, but Wang Lin felt lonely. As he silently walked down the street, there were fewer and fewer people around him. In the end, only Wang Lin appeared in the snow.
Wang Lin stopped and slowly asked, "What do you want?"
The moment he spoke, a mighty pressure condensed and spread out from his voice, causing the wind and snow around him to seem to pause for a moment. It was enough to shake people out of their hiding places!
The void behind him twisted and a blurry figure appeared. Before this figure was a purple arrow that whistled through the air toward Wang Lin.
After this person appeared, he didn't hesitate to form a seal with both hands. A bow appeared before him, and it was as if two invisible hands had grabbed the bow. The bow was pulled back, and with a hum, an arrow shot out!
This arrow and the purple arrow from before shot toward Wang Lin one after the other.
"Li family?"
Wang Lin was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, so others couldn't see his appearance. He turned around, but he didn't raise his head. Instead, he raised his right hand and pointed forward.
With that one finger, the incoming purple arrow instantly collapsed. Soon after, even the arrow behind the sword trembled and disappeared into thin air.
All of this happened in an instant. Wang Lin didn't even retreat; he just turned around and casually pointed.
The eyes of the person who shot the arrow widened and were filled with disbelief. He didn't expect that the arrow he had shot with all his strength at the Golden Exalt level would be so easily blocked by Wang Lin.
His hair stood on end, and terror filled his body. Without hesitation, he fell back, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he used the Blood Escape Art. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a red blur that shot off into the distance.
If Wang Lin chased after him, this person wouldn't be able to escape. However, Wang Lin stood there and watched the blood shadow leave without chasing after him.
"I just entered the eastern part of the city, and I already attracted the attention of the Li family … It must be the Li Guang Bow in my body that caused them to sense me.
"They must have sensed me and didn't know my identity. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent two Golden Exalts to follow me.
"Wang Lin has no grudge against the Li family, so he didn't kill them.
"There won't be a next time!" Wang Lin muttered, then turned around and left.
However, those four words echoed like thunder in the mind of the fleeing blood-colored figure. That person coughed up another mouthful of blood, and his expression was one of shock.
"What … what is his cultivation level!?
Who is he!?
This matter needs to be reported to the Patriarch immediately. This person is definitely an Empyrean, and definitely not an ordinary one!
Not good, Li Shan and I split up. I'll keep an eye on this person while Li Shan goes to capture this person's companion … "The blood-colored figure's expression changed greatly. He had a feeling that the Li family's actions would lead to a disaster.
Wang Lin was still wearing his straw rain cape and bamboo hat as he walked down the street. He had no destination; he just wanted to walk quietly by himself. Before he knew it, the area ahead was brightly lit, and the sound of music filled the air.
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the brightly lit palace. He lowered his head and was about to leave when he suddenly looked up. His eyes revealed a strange light as he looked at the brightly lit palace.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything. He saw a proud red-robed man on the third floor of the palace. This man's appearance and aura were very familiar to Wang Lin.
There were a few guards behind the red-robed man. They were all third-step cultivators, and they seemed to be very respectful toward the red-robed man.
"I can only feel his existence at this distance. Someone left a seal on him!" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed, but he revealed a happy smile.
"Xu Liguo …" Wang Lin shook his head. Just as he was about to enter the palace, he frowned and looked into the distance. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"The Li Mansion is going a bit too far!" Wang Lin's body flickered and he suddenly disappeared.
The red-robed man in the palace threw his wine cup to the ground, pointed at the people in front of him, and shouted, "Is this wine?
Don't try to fool your Grandpa Xu. I know your family has thousands of years of good wine. Hurry up and hand it over, or else your Grandpa Xu will tear this place down! "
The red-robed man had a domineering and fierce expression, but he didn't know that someone was looking at him. That gaze might have confused him.
