Chen Lin repelled the Black Hawk once again, then immediately turned his body and steered the spirit boat to fly in the opposite direction.
Although the direction Black Hawk wanted to lead him to was exactly the same as the direction of Wanhun Ridge, he could not let the other party lead him by the nose, and would rather go around in circles to get rid of the other party.
The change in direction made the Black Hawk suddenly anxious and began to attack frantically, no longer fleeing immediately after missing a hit.
Chen Lin seized the opportunity and used the Golden Silkworm Net to cover it and wrap it up like a rice dumpling.
"Run, why don't you run!"
Looking at the Black Hawk struggling in the net, Chen Lin was proud and used the power of Dharma to twist off the opponent's head.
No matter what the monster's intentions were, once it died, all would be over. He didn't have the curiosity to explore it.
After turning around, he continued to run towards Wanhun Ridge.
The wild area is very vast, equal to the combined area of the northern and southern immortal cultivation worlds. Although it has gone very deep into the wilderness, it is actually less than even a few tenths of the distance.
The deeper you go, the more high-level monsters and dangerous terrain you will encounter, and it becomes extremely dangerous.
After encountering several dangers in succession, Chen Lin had to give up flying at high altitudes and instead fly close to the ground.
At the beginning, I could occasionally see other monks in the distance, but as I went deeper, I could no longer see a single figure.
The speed could not be increased due to the low-altitude flyby, and it took more than a month to reach the location marked on the map.
The so-called Wanhun Ridge is actually a low and desolate mountain range, and there is nothing unusual when looking from the outside.
According to the information he obtained, the bottom of this mountain range is hollow and divided into many faults. The deeper you go, the denser the Yin energy becomes. This Yin energy will erode the vitality of living people. Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not explore to the extreme depths.
However, for the soul, the yin energy here is a great tonic. Over time, the space under the mountains has become a paradise for evil spirits, and the deeper you go, the stronger the ghosts become.
While Chen Lin was recalling the introduction about Wanhun Ridge, he flew along the periphery of the mountain and observed.
The entire mountain range is very long, but it is not straight. Instead, it is an arc. If you look down from the sky, it is a huge circle with a gap where the beginning and the end meet, forming a canyon.
According to legend, there are many caves in the huge area inside the canyon, which are connected to the underground space of the mountain.
Chen Lin spent several days surveying the terrain outside before entering the canyon.
As soon as I walked in, I felt a cold air enveloping me, and then my body became weak, as if my yang energy had been drained away.
However, his soul power was strong, and his qi and blood were extremely vigorous. With a slight operation of the Vajra Body Refining Technique, this abnormality was eliminated.
Although it is called a canyon, it is actually very large. After walking for a while, I saw a cave entrance which was more than ten feet wide. If I got closer, I would feel the coldness even more strongly.
After taking a look, Chen Lin did not enter, but continued to move forward.
Soon the second and third holes were discovered, and then more and more, of varying sizes.
Suddenly, a figure flew out from one of the caves and flew into the canyon. Chen Lin sensed the other party's cultivation and immediately called out, "Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"Are you calling me?"
The figure stopped after hearing this and looked at Chen Lin questioningly with a wary look.
"Don't misunderstand me, fellow Daoist!" Chen Lin immediately explained, "My name is Chen Lin. I came from Xiongji City and wanted to find some people here. However, I don't know much about this place, so I would like to ask you for advice."
The other party examined him and said coldly: "If you want to find out the situation, you can go to the gathering point inside the canyon. I don't know much."
After saying that, the other party no longer paid attention to Chen Lin, and flew away quickly.
Chen Lin looked at the other person's figure, then looked at the cave entrance, and could only go into the canyon.
After crossing the canyon, there is an area surrounded by Wanhun Ridge. To Chen Lin's surprise, this place is completely different from the desolate appearance outside. Instead, it is full of red flowers and green trees, lush and verdant, like a paradise.
He was slightly surprised, then he flew into the air to check, and immediately found several village-like gathering places. It seemed that there were quite a few monks here.
He randomly picked the nearest one and flew away.
"Who?"
Before he could get close, a cultivator flew out from the gathering point and stopped Chen Lin.
"I came from Rooster City. I wonder why you stopped me?"
Although this cultivator was only in the initial stage of foundation building, Chen Lin did not force his way in. Instead, he stopped and bowed to ask.
The other party glanced at Chen Lin and said, "This is the headquarters of Yinshan Sect. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Since you are not coming to our Yinshan Sect, please leave to avoid misunderstandings."
After saying that, he returned to the gathering point.
Chen Lin frowned. It seemed that the monks here were very wary of each other!
Since the other party was not welcoming, Chen Lin did not go and make trouble, but changed the gathering point to visit.
But I went there several times and was turned away every time.
These gathering points are not where individual cultivators gather as imagined, but are independent territories of sects or families, and they do not welcome outsiders except their own people.
Moreover, everyone was very cold and indifferent. No one was willing to pay attention to him when he wanted to find out some information.
With no other choice, Chen Lin could only continue visiting to see if there were any gathering points open to the public.
This time he chose the largest one, which was located in the center and had a pond next to it. The environment was quite good.
"This is the Xuanyin Immortal City. Do you have the Immortal City token?"
Similarly, he was stopped as soon as he approached, and the name the other party reported also surprised Chen Lin.
"So this is the base of Xuanyin Immortal City. I am just a casual cultivator who wants to get some information here. Please forgive me for my intrusion!"
Chen Lin clasped his fists, turned around and left.
Xuanyin Immortal City is a super big city, and he cannot afford to offend such a force. Moreover, the fact that Gu Shengjin was able to obtain a one-time replica of the Yellow Spring Map must be related to Xuanyin Zhenjun. He also does not want to have any dealings with this force, so as not to be recognized by Gu Shengjin.
But before he walked away, he heard a woman's voice, "What a surprise, I actually met Fellow Daoist Lin here!"
Then, a stream of light shot out and landed in front of him.
"Madame Bones!"
When Chen Lin saw the familiar figure, he immediately exclaimed.
At the same time, the foundation-building cultivator who had stopped Chen Lin before also saluted respectfully and said, “Meet Elder Shen!”
Chen Lin's eyes flashed. The other party actually joined Xuanyin Immortal City and became an elder. It seems that he has made great progress in recent years.
After sensing the other party's cultivation level, he found that he had reached the Golden Core Stage, but his appearance had not changed much and he still looked charming and enchanting.
Madam Bai Gu circled around Chen Lin and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Lin is not dead after all. It seems that you were not honest back then and kept something from me in the soul contract. But that is all in the past. Now I am no longer Madam Bai Gu, but Elder Shen Lingyu of Xuan Yin Sect, so I won't bother with you."
Chen Lin's face darkened.
I thought to myself, you had calculated against everyone in the first place, even those male vassals couldn't escape. If I hadn't been careful, I don't know how many grasses would have been replaced on my grave by now. And you still want to hold it against me
Although he was furious, he did not show it. Instead, he said calmly, "Thank you very much, Elder Shen, for your generosity. Goodbye!"
The other party is the elder of Xuanyin Immortal City, and this place is the headquarters of Xuanyin Immortal City. If the other party has bad intentions, he will probably find it difficult to escape, so he immediately took advantage of the situation to leave.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you are destined to meet, you will meet again after so many years. Isn't it destined by fate that we can meet again? How can you just leave like that? Why don't you come with me and sit down and talk?"
Chen Lin's heart sank. He didn't expect that after so many years, the other party was still concerned about his body.
Unfortunately, he doesn't want to get involved with such a woman.
After taking a breath, he clasped his fists and said, "I have something important to do, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Please forgive me, Elder Shen!"
But Mrs. Bai Gu had no intention of letting him go and still blocked his way.
She continued to smile and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I just heard that Brother Lin wanted to find out some news. Because cultivators have disappeared one after another recently, the garrisons of major forces will not accept strangers. If Brother Lin wants to find out something, I am the most suitable person."
Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this. No wonder these outposts seemed to keep people away. It turned out that something had happened here.
However, he would rather give up trying to find out the news than to get entangled with the other party. However, judging from the other party's attitude, if he resolutely left, he would probably get angry and turn against him.
Although he had a record of killing Jindan cultivators, the opponent was not Zhao Zhenqi, but Nanmen Wuji who was able to fight against Jindan stage when he was in the foundation building stage.
What's more, this is the headquarters of Xuanyin Immortal City, and there may be other Jindan cultivators inside. He will definitely be the one who suffers if they turn against him.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble Elder Shen!”
Mrs. Bai Gu's eyes lit up, the smile on her face became even more intense, she made a seductive gesture of invitation and moved her body away.
But the next moment, she saw a flash of lightning in front of her eyes, and Chen Lin's figure disappeared without a trace!
"Damn it, you dare to lie to me!"
At this moment, she knew that she had been tricked by Chen Lin and she was gritting her teeth in anger.
"What are you laughing at?"
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been watching not far away.
The foundation-building cultivator was horrified and hurriedly explained: "Reporting to the elder, I didn't laugh. How dare I laugh at Elder Shen!"
"So what you mean is that I wronged you!"
Mrs. White Bone slowly walked up to the other person with a cold look in her eyes.
"No, no, I..."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't know what to do and began to stutter.
But Madam Bai Gu didn't give the other party a chance to defend himself. She grabbed him and said, "You dare to laugh at me, then you will replace that guy and help me practice!"
