Wang Lin looked at Qiu Siping and said with a smile that wasn't a smile:
"Those two juniors should be from the Poison Demon Palace. The Poison Demon Palace is very protective, so brother Qiu should be careful in the future."
Qiu Siping bitterly smiled. The woman was fine, but the sickly hunchback was one of the core disciples of the Poison Demon Palace. If the two of them really escaped, he would have a lot of trouble in the future. He probably wouldn't even be able to take half a step into the main cities that the Poison Demon Palace controlled.
However, this was not the time to think about the two of them. This Wang Lin gave him a lot of pressure, so he had to be very cautious. The strength that Wang Lin had displayed made him very nervous.
"However, with their late stage Core Formation speed, if brother Qiu quickly chases after them, you might be able to catch up."
Wang Lin calmly said.
Qiu Siping sighed and clasped his hands. "Brother Wang, if you need anything, just tell me. Although our relationship isn't that deep, we have been through thick and thin together, right?"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have a map of the Sea of Devils?"
Qiu Siping was startled. He pondered a bit and shook his head. "I don't have a map of the Sea of Devils, but if brother Wang wants one, you can go to the main city and buy one.
"Wang Lin's eyes became cold. The reason he didn't kill Qiu Siping was because he knew that Qiu Siping was a very cunning person. Killing him would be easy, but making him tell the truth would be difficult.
If he threatened Qiu Siping with his life, then the chances of him telling the truth would be very low.
Therefore, when Wang Lin saw Qiu Siping, he stopped him from chasing the two Core Formation juniors in order to create a sense of urgency for Qiu Siping.
"Oh?
Then brother Qiu can come with me. After we go to the nearest main city to exchange for a map, brother Qiu can go find those two juniors. "Wang Lin calmly said.
Qiu Siping was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh. Wang Lin's schemes ran deep. When he first appeared, he had casually pointed out Qiu Siping's Cultivation base, which had caused the two Core Formation juniors to suddenly realize what was going on and flee.
All of this had been part of his plan, and he had unknowingly fallen into his trap. Presumably, his goal was to force him to kill the two of them, and then obstruct him from doing so. All of this was to force him to tell the truth. At the same time, the cultivation base he was emanating was hinting that if he continued to be stubborn, he wouldn't mind killing him.
This method was much easier to make someone yield than threatening their life and death. Qiu Siping looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression. Without a word, he slapped his bag of holding and took out a piece of jade. He placed it on his forehead and began to make a copy of it according to his memory.
Not long after, he handed the jade slip to Wang Lin and said,
"All of the maps I've memorized over the years in the Sea of Devil Cultivation are in this jade slip. There might be some mistakes, but they won't be too big. Brother Wang, if there is nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"
Wang Lin accepted the jade slip, but he didn't look at it. Instead, he clasped his hands and smiled. "Many thanks!"
Qiu Siping was startled. He looked at Wang Lin and said, "You're not going to take a look?"
Wang Lin faintly smiled and said, "Is there a need?"
Qiu Siping pondered a bit, then he let out a laugh and said, "Brother Wang, I'll be taking my leave!"
With that, he clasped his hands and backed up. After backing up for a long distance, his eyes lit up and he loudly said, "Brother Wang, I don't want to tamper with the jade slip. You can rest assured!" With that, his body flashed and disappeared.
Wang Lin held the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. There was a lot of detailed information about the inner Sea of Devils, but there wasn't much information about the outer Sea. In the description of the inner Sea, there was also some information about the transfer array.
Wang Lin didn't believe that this map was real, but he wasn't planning on using just one map to travel through the Sea of Devils. Wang Lin's plan was to find the complete map, but if he couldn't, then he would collect more of these maps and put them together himself.
When the time comes, he would be able to tell if it was real or fake.
According to Wang Lin's understanding of the Sea of Devils, he remembered that it would take him about 10 days to reach Lian Mo City. Lian Mo City was one of the 99 big cities in the inner Sea of Devils. It was not something the small cities in the outer Sea of Devils could compare to.
Another reason that made Wang Lin decide to go to this city was because Qiu Siping's jade said that there was an ancient transfer array 300,000 kilometers away from Lian Mo City.
As Wang Lin flew, all the big and small beasts he encountered were killed by Wang Lin. If he encountered a high quality spirit beast, Wang Lin would quickly run away and not come into contact with it.
Seven days later, the more Wang Lin walked, the more shocked he became. He didn't think that after a few years, the beasts in the Sea of Devils would become so rampant. He even saw two high quality spirit beasts that were equivalent to Spirit Severing stage spirit beasts.
Luckily, these two spirit beasts lived in their own territories. As long as Wang Lin didn't provoke them, they wouldn't chase him.
Along the way, Wang Lin had a lot of harvests. He had already obtained more than 100 cores. Every time he took one, he would use the ancient god's tactic to absorb it.
On this day, Wang Lin arrived at the location of the ancient transfer array. His eyes lit up as he floated in the air and stared at the valley below.
This place was very quiet. There wasn't even a hint of beast aura. Wang Lin's expression was very serious. He spread out his divine sense but didn't find anything strange. However, he had a strange feeling.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin pointed at his brow and an ape-shaped devil flew out. This was the third devil that Wang Lin refined from the spirit ape's soul.
During the last few months at the Cloud Sky Sect, this devil was completely under his control and didn't have any intention of rebelling.
This devil was originally a low quality spirit beast. After being refined into a devil, its cultivation level increased. Although it still couldn't devour Nascent Soul cultivators, it could easily devour Core Formation cultivators.
As soon as the devil appeared, it let out a few roars and its body turned into an illusory shadow that quickly flew into the canyon. After scanning the canyon, it didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Just as it was about to fly out, a large hole suddenly opened up in one of the cliffs of the canyon. At the same time, a powerful suction force appeared. However, the devil was illusory to begin with, so it flew out in a flash.
The crack on the cliff slowly closed.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He pointed with his right hand and the poison sword made from Hunchback Meng's Poison King Cauldron flew out of his bag of holding. The sword teleported into the closing crack and quickly sliced through it.
He only heard the sound of rocks rubbing against each other. Wang Lin frowned. When the crack was about to close, he waved his divine sense and the poison sword flew out. It circled around Wang Lin and let out a buzzing sword hymn.
Wang Lin stared at the closing cliff. After pondering a bit, his right hand formed a seal and he said, "Ice flame, appear!"
A blue flame suddenly appeared inside his Nascent Soul. This was the ice flame that Wang Lin condensed after completing the Underworld Ascension Method. When he was forming his Nascent Soul, the ice flame was corroded by the Nascent Soul's energy and became even more powerful.
As soon as the ice flame appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped. At the same time, the ice flame quickly moved and floated forward. In the blink of an eye, it touched the cliff wall. At that moment, the cliff wall began to squirm strangely, forming a human face. It opened its mouth and bit at the ice flame.
However, the moment it touched the ice flame, a thin layer of blue ice spread from the face's mouth. In just a few breaths of time, the cliff was covered in blue ice. The face's expression froze and became motionless.
Wang Lin looked at it a bit and was very surprised. This thing was clearly a demonic beast, but it lived inside rocks and could take human form.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin's body suddenly moved. He went past the cliff and entered the canyon. There was indeed a transfer array inside, but it was damaged in many places and could no longer be used. Wang Lin looked at it a bit and took out a jade to record the transfer array.
After doing all of this, his body disappeared and reappeared above the canyon. He waved his right hand and the blue ice on the cliff condensed into an ice flame and flew back to his hand.
Shortly after, the face on the cliff moved again. Its stone eyes stared at Wang Lin and it let out a series of hostile roars.
The more Wang Lin looked at it, the more interested he became. This demonic beast's rank wasn't high, barely at the low quality spirit rank. It was similar to a late stage Core Formation cultivator. However, this beast's ability to hide inside rocks was very useful. Wang Lin knew that he often went into closed door cultivation. If he had a demonic beast to look after him, it would save him a lot of trouble. It was a pity that this beast's cultivation was limited.
However, Wang Lin had a lot of Beast Cores in his bag of holding. With the help of the Beast Cores, this demonic beast's cultivation would increase by a lot. After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He formed a seal with his right hand and sent out some spiritual energy to form a spell.
He shouted, "Break!"
The spell left his hand and landed on the cliff. In an instant, a series of rumbling sounds came from the cliff, and countless cracks appeared like a spider's web. As the cracks grew larger and larger, in the end, the front of the cliff completely collapsed. At this moment, a ray of black light quickly flew out from inside and sped towards the north.
Wang Lin scanned the area with his divine sense and locked onto it. Inside the black light was a strange creature the size of a palm with a long mouth and a pair of wings.
At first glance, this beast gave off a creepy feeling. This was especially true for its long mouth, which was nearly half the size of its body. It shined with a cold light and was clearly extremely sharp.
Wang Lin rubbed his chin and leisurely chased after it. At the same time, he pointed at his brow and released Xu Liguo. Together with the third devil ape, they pounced on the creature from both sides.
However, although Xu Liguo roared a few times with an excited expression, when he saw the strange demonic beast, his voice came to an abrupt halt. He thought to himself, "Are you kidding me? What is this thing?
Why is it even uglier than my second brother!
I'll let the idiot third brother go first. If this one is weak, then I'll go and take the credit. "
(Just a few steps and I'll have my chrysanthemum explode. How vicious!)
