This transfer gave Wang Lin the same feeling as when he went to the Celestial Realm. However, this feeling was very short and immediately disappeared. Wang Lin's figure appeared in an ancient transfer array many kilometers away.
Wang Lin spread out his divine sense. Even with his calmness, he couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
This place was only 800,000 kilometers away from the Sea of Devils.
One transfer required one to cross several transfer arrays. According to Wang Lin's analysis, this distance was at least 5 million kilometers.
A journey that would normally take more than a month was completed in the blink of an eye.
This caused Wang Lin to be shocked.
He looked down at the celestial jade in his hand. It was no longer pure white, but slightly grey. The celestial spiritual energy inside had decreased by 10%.
Thinking back to the illusion that appeared on the transfer array, Wang Lin suddenly realized that perhaps this was the real use of an ancient transfer array. The power of a top quality spirit stone could only be used to activate the closest transfer array. Only by using celestial jades could one activate all of the transfer arrays connected to the transfer array.
"However, one transfer used up 10% of the celestial jades. Although I have a lot of celestial jades, I can't afford it. This isn't another transfer, it's wasting celestial spiritual energy … I'm afraid there aren't many people in Suzaku who can use celestial jades to activate a transfer array …" Wang Lin let out a self-deprecating smile as he flew forward.
The situation was not far from what Wang Lin had guessed. In Suzaku, although there were people who could use celestial jades to activate a transfer array, there were very few of them … Only the four Ascendant cultivators of Rosefinch would use celestial jades to activate a transfer array … While Wang Lin was flying, he touched the beast trap on his wrist. During the second battle with Red Butterfly, the Thunder Frog was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. Although it was trapped inside the beast trap, the frequency at which it absorbed spiritual energy had changed from once every few days to once every few months.
Wang Lin knew that if he hadn't continued to channel his spiritual power into the Thunder Frog, it would have been very difficult for it to survive.
"I wonder if Wan Er will be able to cure the Thunder Frog after I return to Chu. Ai, this beast is facing a life and death calamity because of me. I, Wang Lin, cannot abandon it …"
As he thought of this, a slight ripple suddenly came from his wrist, as if it was responding to him.
At this moment, in the Cloud Sky Sect in the country of Chu, Li Muwan was sitting in the first pavilion in the eastern courtyard. Before her was a zither. Her jade-like fingers were playing the zither, creating waves of beautiful music.
For Wang Lin, a hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye. However, for Li Muwan, it was too long.
At this moment, her appearance had changed a bit from before. Indeed, at her age, if it wasn't for the dew from the heaven defying bead, she would have already turned into a pile of bones.
"In these hundred years, I've been stuck at the late stage of Core Formation … The dew you gave me is useless. I can feel my body getting weaker day by day … If I still can't reach the Nascent Soul stage in 10 years … I …" Li Muwan's eyes were filled with sadness, but she forced herself not to cry.
However, the sound of the zither revealed her mood. This sound was filled with helplessness and sadness. Anyone who heard it would feel their heart become heavy.
"Wang Lin … Where the hell are you …" The sadness in Li Muwan's eyes became even stronger. Her heart was very, very painful.
Every scene of her meeting Wang Lin replayed in her mind. This was the only motivation for her to continue waiting. Without these memories, even if her body wasn't dead, her heart would have died a long time ago.
"Wang Lin … Perhaps when you return, we will already be separated by life and death …" Li Muwan finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
At this moment, there were two people standing outside the pavilion. Both of them had white hair.
One of the old men shook his head and said, "The sect leader's zither is filled with the intent of death … Ai …"
"Liu Fei, the Sect Master has failed to form her Nascent Soul three times in a hundred years. She has consumed a lot of medicinal pills. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to see that person again, she would have died thirty years ago when she failed to form her Nascent Soul …" The black-robed old man said with a bitter smile.
"Song Qing, do you think that person … is he still alive …"
A cold figure appeared in Liu Fei's mind. His body immediately trembled. After 100 years, he still can't forget the fear he felt back then. "
100 years ago, he was at the early stage of Nascent Soul. How could he die? If I'm not wrong, he should be at the late stage of Nascent Soul now. "
Song Qing pondered a bit and then sighed. The fear in his heart was even greater than Liu Feng's. That scene from back then would often wake him up from his dreams.
That slaughter had become a demon in his heart.
Liu Fei's face was filled with bitterness. "Ai, even if he reaches the late stage of Nascent Soul, he won't be able to save the Cloud Sky Sect …"
Song Qing pondered. After a long time, he bitterly smiled and said, "That foreign cultivator destroyed the Blue Sky Sect three days ago. I wonder who his next target will be …"
Liu Fei bitterly said, "Even lord messenger was scared away by that person's technique. The fate of the Cloud Sky Sect has already been decided."
Song Qing sighed and said, "Four late stage Nascent Soul elders. Elder Liu died 30 years ago before he reached the Nascent Soul stage, and we don't even know if elder Gong Sun is dead or alive … Ai."
Just at this moment, the zither music stopped and Li Muwan's gentle voice came from the pavilion.
"Seniors, please come in to talk. Wan Er's body isn't feeling well, so I won't be coming out to greet you."
Liu Fei and Song Qing respectfully nodded, looked at each other, and hurriedly entered the pavilion.
Li Muwan stared at the zither. She gently shook her head and looked at the two of them.
Liu Fei's eyes revealed a complex expression. He whispered, "Sect head, your body is the most important. Playing the zither is very tiring …"
Li Muwan let out a sigh and smiled. "My body is already very weak. Even if I don't play the zither, I won't be able to live for more than 10 years."
Liu Fei secretly sighed.
Li Muwan calmly asked, "Is there any news about elder Gong Sun?"
"Elder Gong Sun went to find that foreign cultivator seven days ago and still hasn't returned … I'm afraid …" Song Qing's eyes were filled with sadness and he didn't continue.
Li Muwan didn't say anything. After a long time, she bitterly smiled and said, "Have you found out anything about the foreign cultivator's background?"
Liu Fei whispered, "I only know that this person doesn't look very old. He is an expert in using poisonous insects and his body is filled with a bloodthirsty aura. He should be a person who loves to kill. A month ago, he suddenly appeared in the Chu Country. In seven days, he destroyed three sects and killed several Nascent Soul cultivators … Three days ago, the Blue Sky Sect was completely destroyed. Only a few outer sect disciples were able to escape this calamity."
Li Muwan stared outside the window. After a long time, she was about to say something, but her face suddenly became abnormally red. Her body trembled and she violently coughed.
Liu Fei and Song Qing immediately revealed expressions of concern.
Li Muwan placed her right hand on her mouth and coughed for a while before she calmed down. She looked at the shocking amount of blood on her hand and wiped it off with a handkerchief. She softly said, "In a few days, when my body is better, I will return your souls. You two … run for your lives …"
Liu Fei and Song Qing spoke at almost the same time. Their eyes were filled with deep sorrow. Although their Soul Remembrance had always been in Li Muwan's hands, Li Muwan had never used it to threaten them in the past hundred years. Furthermore, she had always treated them like a junior. Humans were not trees or grass. The trace of resentment that the two of them had harbored for a hundred years had long since disappeared.
"Sect Head, Ouyang Zi has been researching the Life Continuing Pill for many years. As long as we succeed, your body will definitely recover."
Liu Fei said.
Li Muwan shook her head and softly said, "No. Even if I succeed, it will only give me a slight chance to live. In these past 10 years, I've found that I'm slowly aging … Perhaps in a few more years, my hair will turn white … Also, the Cloud Sky Sect won't be able to escape this disaster …" Song Qing bitterly said, "Sect Head, we can ask the Giant Demon Clan for help. This foreign cultivator scared away the messenger of the Giant Demon Clan, so the Giant Demon Clan will definitely make a move.
"The Giant Demon Clan …" Li Muwan gently shook her head and said,
"In the eyes of the Giant Demon Clan, we are only tools for them to refine pills … Also, I heard that because of Ceng Niu and the junior master, the Giant Demon Clan is at their wits' end. I'm afraid they don't have time to worry about us."
"Ceng Niu!
Alas, if it wasn't for this person, the Giant Demon Clan wouldn't have abandoned us … "Liu Fei said.
"If Ceng Niu could come to my country of Chu, then this disaster would be resolved."
Song Qing said in a self-deprecating manner. He was only saying this out of regret. In his heart, he didn't even consider the possibility of it happening.
Liu Fei bitterly smiled and said, "Ceng Niu is a senior that was able to cut off the arm of the proud Red Butterfly. I'm afraid he hasn't even heard of my country of Chu."
"You can leave. Tell the two Great Elders who are in seclusion what I mean. Once I return the Remembrance to you, you can leave …" Li Muwan said softly.
Liu Fei said, "Sect Head, what about you? Come with us."
Li Muwan's eyes were filled with sorrow. At this moment, there was no fear in her heart. Even if the Cloud Sky Sect was doomed, she wouldn't leave. Even if she were to die, she would die here. This was the place she and Wang Lin agreed to meet.
She didn't speak but gently shook her head. She looked at the blue sky outside the window and the image of Wang Lin appeared in her mind … "Big brother Wang …" A small beast the size of a fist flew out from between Li Muwan's eyebrows. It circled around her and landed on the zither. Its small eyes stared at Li Muwan without blinking.
Li Muwan rubbed the small beast's head and softly said, "Little Ling, where is your master?"
Wang Lin quickly traveled the 800,000 kilometer distance. On this day, he was standing at the edge of the Sea of Devils when his heart suddenly trembled. He looked in the direction of Chu and for some reason, his heart trembled.
This trembling he had never felt before suddenly appeared.
"Heart demon?
Impossible. With my cultivation, a normal heart demon can't enter my soul. "Wang Lin didn't stop and stepped into the Sea of Devils.
"I haven't seen Wan Er in many years. I should buy her something she likes …" Wang Lin let out a smile.
