When they arrived at the Crystal Clan’s headquarters, the Great Elder and Yu Guangyan had not returned yet, so Chen Lin found a place to sit down and rest, thinking about the past and present events in his mind.
He had somewhat forgotten about this person. If he hadn't seen him today, he wouldn't have remembered him at all.
The other party is from the Gu family, an overseas bloodline family in the Starry Continent. They are a family enemy of Jin Xingyun and have certain grievances with him.
That year, when he left the Silver Immortal City and went to the southern immortal world alone, he was trapped in it by the other party using a disposable Yellow Spring Map and almost died. He also rescued Yun Xiu Niang.
Thinking of this, the figure of Yun Xiu Niang appeared in his mind.
Then, he took out a wooden hairpin from the package.
The wooden hairpin had a faint demonic aura, which was projected to him by the Yun Xiu Niang in the bloody handkerchief scene. He had kept it all along, hoping that the Yun Xiu Niang was real. She did not admit it at the time because of some unspeakable reasons. Who knows when this will be connected to the wooden hairpin.
But after being stored for so many years, the wooden hairpin did not change at all, and he gradually gave up on it.
He sighed in his heart, put away the wooden hairpin, and continued to think about the past and present.
If the other party can appear here, then other cultivators from the lower world may also be here. After all, there are only a few passages leading to the upper world from the lower world, and once discovered, it is impossible for one person to use them.
I remember that when the other party participated in the stargazing formation where the Seven Stars Conjoined Incident occurred, he was with Yu Ming Zhenjun from Tianyun Fairy City. The two had a very close relationship and may have formed an alliance.
If the other party comes here, it is possible that someone from Tianyun Fairy City is here, and there is also a certain chance that Tan Tai Yunjin is here.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin took out a communication talisman of Tan Tai Yun Jin, hesitated for a while, and still chose not to activate it.
The Crystal Clan is about to set off. Even if Tan Tai Yun Jin is really here, there is no time for them to meet. Moreover, it has been confirmed that Luo Qinglan is in Hongshan Continent, so Luo Qinglan and the Gu family are not using the same out-of-bounds passage, and the other party will not know Luo Qinglan's situation.
"Forget it, it's better not to make things more complicated."
Chen Lin muttered something in his heart and put away the communication talisman.
The most important thing at the moment is to find Luo Qinglan. If this delays the trip to Tianfang Continent, it will be a loss.
While he was thinking, Yu Guangyan walked in.
"Brother Chen, you came back quite early. Didn't you come across anything of interest?"
Yu Guangyan was smiling, and it seemed that things were going smoothly.
Chen Lin also smiled and said, "My wealth is not as good as Brother Yu's, but I like a lot of things, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to buy them."
"Haha, Brother Chen, don't be so modest. Everyone knows that you, Elder Chen, are a master of alchemy. How can you be short of spirit stones?"
Yu Guangyan sat casually next to Chen Lin and teased.
Chen Lin smiled and did not respond, but changed the subject: "Brother Yu, how much do you know about this Red Moon Sea? Do you know the origin of the name of this sea?"
This sea is called the Red Moon Sea, and the island of the Gu Shengjin family in the lower world is called the Red Moon Island. The other party appeared here again, and it was hard for him not to make associations.
"I know a thing or two."
Yu Guangyan answered readily.
Then he said, "It is called the Red Moon Sea because every full-moon night, a red moon phantom will appear in this sea area. It is rumored that this is the area formed after the fall of the true spirit. The greatest danger in the Red Moon Sea is this."
Chen Lin nodded slowly. He had heard some of this information, but not very comprehensive.
Seeing that Chen Lin's face was not very good, Yu Guangyan thought that he was worried about danger, so she comforted him: "Don't worry, brother Chen, we can avoid most of the places where the red moon phantom frequently appears during this teleportation. As for the unstable space area we need to cross, according to records, the red moon phantom rarely appears. The main danger comes from the monsters in the sea and the space turbulence."
"In that case, I'm relieved."
Chen Lin didn't dwell on this matter.
Now he had enough space spirit crystals. As long as he didn't die on the spot, he could break through the boundary and leave any space he was trapped in. As for the space turbulence, he had the Void-Breaking Shuttle, which could resist it for a while. His safety was still very high.
As he was speaking, the Great Elder finally returned, counted the number of people, and directly activated the teleportation array to continue his journey.
Yifeng Building.
In the private room on the second floor.
Gu Shengjin sat opposite a middle-aged man.
"Are you sure it was him?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Gu Shengjin and asked with a frown.
Gu Shengjin nodded, "This person is Jin Xingyun's friend, and he has a grudge against me, so I remember him very clearly, and he can't be wrong."
The middle-aged man was none other than True Lord Yu Ming, whose cultivation had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
His eyes flickered as he said, "This person is quite mysterious. When he was in the lower world, he was the only one who could pass through the cracks in the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge and come to the southern immortal cultivation world. He had many interactions with Baihua Wanmeng and others, and was also the Taoist partner of the Divine Phoenix Goddess. It's not surprising that he could escape the catastrophe of the interface collapse. Why, after so many years, do you still want to cause trouble for him?"
Gu Shengjin shook his head.
"How could I keep such a small grudge to myself? However, this person has a deep understanding of the soul and has even learned the most difficult soul secret technique, the Soul-Destroying Finger. His soul must be special. I need this special soul to refine a spiritual treasure, so I can only let him stay here."
"What is the other party's current cultivation level?"
True Lord Yu Ming did not say anything more, but asked about Chen Lin's cultivation.
Gu Shengjin said solemnly: "Based on the fluctuations in mana, he is in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he should have just broken through not long ago, and the fluctuations are very unstable."
"Late Nascent Soul stage?"
True Lord Yu Ming pondered for a moment, then said with an embarrassed look, "This person has many tricks up his sleeve. When he was just promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to kill the Ten Thousand Swords Patriarch, and even survived the attack of the Seven Stars in a Row. Now his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. With the strength of you and me, I'm afraid we can't stop him."
"It's definitely not possible for the two of us. I have already informed the clan and asked for support from the strong men of the clan."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Yuming was immediately shocked.
"Will the Gu family take action against a mere late Nascent Soul? Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"
Gu Shengjin said expressionlessly, "Under normal circumstances, this is definitely not possible. I am a member of the branch clan from the lower realm, and the clan doesn't like me at all. How could they help me? However, Chen Lin is with the people of the Crystal Clan. My ancestor has always been very interested in the Crystal Clan. In addition, my ancestor has just broken through the Void Refining Realm and is about to bring the family to the open for development, so he has agreed to my request."
"So what do I need to do?"
Jade Bright Lord asked directly.
Now that a strong man from the Gu family has taken action, the matter is settled.
Gu Shengjin said in a deep voice: "I don't trust anyone in my family. I need Daoist Fellow Yuming to help me surround and kill this man. When the time comes, I only want his soul, and all the items on his body will belong to you. He has been able to break through in succession within a hundred years, so he must have a great opportunity, and he must have a lot of items on him."
After a pause, he added: "This time it can be considered as using up a favor."
Yu Ming Zhen Jun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I will help you this time, but this matter cannot be spread to others, especially to Tan Tai Yun Jin, who has some connection with Chen Lin. I still need her, so I can't fall out over this matter."
"Of course, no one else will know about this except you and me."
Gu Shengjin got the response, smiled, then stood up and said, "The Crystal Clan should just be passing through our city. I don't know when they will leave. I need to contact the strong men in the clan. Just wait for my news."
After saying that, he left the private room.
Chen Lin, together with the members of the Crystal Clan, stood on the teleportation array. Then the Great Elder once again used his talent to stabilize the space channel and activate the teleportation array.
A familiar feeling of teleportation appeared, and the next moment, I appeared in a small underground space.
There is no one guarding this place, but there are several layers of formations set up. The entire secret room is closed and there is no way to leave.
"Get ready, I'll take you out!"
The Great Elder gave a reminder, and then a crystal light flashed between his eyebrows, and a ray of light fell. Chen Lin and others disappeared from the spot and appeared on a small island.
Then, the Great Elder threw out a pure white spirit boat, which enlarged and landed on the ground.
"Okay, next we have to cross the White Mist Sea. Space turbulence occurs very frequently here. No one is allowed to leave the flying boat, and no one is allowed to use mana, soul power or other energy without permission, so as not to attract high-level monsters and evil beasts."
After giving an order, he motioned for everyone to get on board.
Chen Lin sensed it a little and found that this spirit boat was actually a spiritual treasure, and its spiritual charm was very rich. Even if it was not at the spiritual level, it was still a leader among ordinary spiritual treasures. He could not help but be greatly shocked.
At the same time, I feel more assured about safety.
It was right for him to make this deal with the Crystal Clan, otherwise he would never be able to cross the sea and reach the Tianfang Continent on his own.
After everyone was on board, the spirit boat began to set sail.
At first it was flying at a very fast speed, but when fog appeared on the sea surface, the speed slowed down and it landed above the sea surface, holding up a light shield.
"This white fog sea area has special conditions. The higher you go, the more turbulent the space becomes. There are also many dangerous monsters in the sea water, so flying close to the sea surface is the safest."
Yu Guangyan sat next to Chen Lin and explained in a low voice.
Chen Lin had actually learned about the relevant information and knew a little bit. Just as he was about to transmit his voice, he suddenly remembered the order of the Great Elder not to use any energy, so he spoke in a low voice instead: "Thank you, Brother Yu, for clearing up my doubts. I wonder how long it will take to cross this sea area?"
"Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take a month. If we encounter a monster attack, it will take even longer."
Chen Lin nodded and said nothing more.
A month is neither long nor short, and the possibility of danger is quite high. They can only hope that they are lucky this time and do not encounter any high-level monsters.
But just as he thought of this, he saw the sea surface below rolling, and then a huge tentacle stretched out!
