As the people who were hiding walked out one by one to observe the situation, more than a dozen figures flew down, all wearing the same clothes.
"The Red Lotus bandits are lurking nearby. No one is allowed to leave the town without permission, or else you will be subject to military law!"
A majestic man's voice was like a loud bell, making everyone's heads buzz.
Chen Lin had also come out from underground and was looking outside through the window.
His expression was solemn.
These people are the demon-suppressing army of the fairyland. According to legend, each of them is very powerful. He has never encountered them before, but today he found that they are indeed as powerful as their reputation.
Especially the majestic man in the lead, his cultivation has reached the perfection of foundation building. According to the suppression level calculation, he should have been in the Void Refinement Stage. Such a strong man is already one of the top ones in this fairyland!
Even though the bandit he met before finally broke through to the Jindan realm, that was achieved after three death mutations, so there is no comparison at all.
Because of the special rules here, once a death mutation occurs, part of one's sanity will be lost, and one is basically no longer a normal human being. Even if one recovers through means such as cleansing in the Immortal Prison, one cannot return to normal. One's strength, sanity, and even memory will be greatly damaged, and one will become an inferior person.
Moreover, the scope of activities will be limited and they will not be able to leave their own territory too far.
With each additional mutation, the situation will worsen, until it finally becomes a complete demon, unable to leave the domain, and no matter how powerful it is, it will pose no threat.
In Chen Lin's opinion, the purpose of the terrifying existence that caused the entire destruction of the Three Jade Fairyland was probably to turn everyone here into evil monsters.
But for some unknown reason, or perhaps the existence of a powerful person in the fairyland, weakened the strength of the mutation rules. As a result, although this place has become a cage, the people inside have not directly transformed into demons, but have to be killed before they will mutate.
If this is the case, there is a possibility that this ancient fairyland will be able to break free from its shackles and reappear in the world of cultivation.
There may be some Mahayana cultivators here. If they come back, they will definitely change the current structure of the cultivation world and have a far-reaching impact on the Tianxuan Realm.
That's a bit too far-fetched.
Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and did not continue to look at the people from the Demon Suppression Army. Instead, he wondered whether Luo Qinglan would also appear here.
The eighteen rebel armies are united. Since the Red Lotus Mother has appeared, it is not impossible for Luo Qinglan to be here. If the other party really comes here, that would be great, so that he doesn't have to look for her everywhere.
However, he felt that there was little hope for such a coincidence. It might be possible if he used the magic of strong luck, but his luck was not that strong under normal circumstances.
Sure enough, news came out after a while that the rebels attacking Guqian County this time were just the Red Lotus Army of the Red Lotus Mother. Their purpose was to rescue an important figure in the Red Lotus Army who had been captured before, so the Red Lotus Mother took action personally.
The terrifying flame just now was what flew over when the Red Lotus Mother and the powerful men of the Demon Suppression Army were fighting. Under the interference of his innate magical powers, it took Hu Dasheng's life.
This experiment allowed Chen Lin to feel the potential of his innate supernatural powers.
Not only is Yinren powerful, but since he traveled through time until now, no matter in any strange place, including the demon world, his innate abilities have never been suppressed!
There is no level cap in sight!
If it were before, Chen Lin would definitely be very happy, but now he feels a little worried.
According to Xu Qingyuan, the talents of people like him are the seeds of resurrection left by the powerful. Perhaps when the talents are fully formed, that will be the day when the powerful will be resurrected!
By then, his body would undoubtedly be possessed by a powerful being, and he would absolutely not accept such a result. However, Xu Qingyuan was vague and the specific situation needed to be carefully understood before making a decision. If there was really no solution, no matter how useful his innate ability was, he would have to find a way to separate it from his body.
If it cannot be peeled off, its upgrading must be controlled to prevent it from being fully formed.
Chen Lin made a decision and stopped thinking about it.
The streets were under martial law at this moment, and the captain of the Demon-Suppressing Army had gone somewhere else, leaving only two of his men guarding here.
After waiting for a while, he stood up and walked out of the pub.
Now is actually not a good time to leave, as these soldiers seem unreasonable. However, he is worried that Luo Qinglan will come nearby, so he must go out to confirm the situation.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin quietly took out the dribbling ball and released all the luck power stored in it at once.
In an instant, he felt that his luck had improved a little.
Although it is not much, the upper limit of his own luck is higher than that of ordinary cultivators. Now he has reached about 20% of the effect of using the strong luck technique. Perhaps he can change the trajectory of his fate, allowing him to leave smoothly and get the specific information of Luo Qinglan.
It’s a pity that after he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, he was still unable to change the trajectory of his own destiny, otherwise things would be easy.
"No one is allowed to leave. Do you want to disobey orders?"
When Chen Lin reached the corner of the street, he was immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding there.
This ordinary soldier had the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi training, which made him secretly sigh at the former power of the Immortal Kingdom. It was almost the same as if Nascent Soul cultivators were everywhere.
Naturally, he would not force his way in, but instead took out a badge and handed it over.
"I am Chen Lin, the new chief constable of Guqian County. I was ordered by the county lord to come here to investigate the information of the rebels. Now I need to go back and report. Please let me go."
The soldier took the token, looked at it, and said, "I can't make the decision on this. Wait a minute, I'll go ask the captain for instructions."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After a while, the majestic man walked over, took a look at Chen Lin, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Outsider?"
Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.
It seems that these official figures have special means to identify outsiders like him who have not been alienated.
"It is true that I have just been here for a short time, but the appointment is true. You can go to the county government to confirm it."
He did not hide it, and he could not hide it.
“No need!”
The majestic man waved his hand.
Then he said, "According to the laws of the Immortal Kingdom, the Demon Suppression Army has the right to temporarily recruit local personnel. You have been recruited!"
Chen Lin was stunned. He didn't expect such a change. He hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to talk to you and the county lord. Besides, I was sent here to suppress the bandits. If I don't go back and delay the suppression of the bandits, I can't afford it."
"Suppressing bandits?"
The majestic man sneered.
"If a local county magistrate is capable of dealing with the rebels, there would be no need for our Demon Suppression Army to exist. Moreover, if our Demon Suppression Army needs someone, a mere county magistrate cannot stop it."
Chen Lin was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In fact, joining the Demon-Suppressing Army is not a bad thing for him. As the main force to encircle and suppress the rebels, the Demon-Suppressing Army must know more information about the rebels.
However, he finally got the position of a captain of police, and he was thinking of using this identity to gain some benefits after making sure Luo Qinglan was safe!
Apart from anything else, such an ancient fairyland with such a long history must have a lot of inherited skills, spells, and alchemy and weapon forging. If you can go to the county government's library or even the provincial capital's library to take a look, you will definitely gain a lot.
After joining the Demon-Suppressing Army, this opportunity no longer exists.
Chen Lin glanced at the captain with a stern face and knew that he could not refuse in this situation, so he could only agree.
He nodded and said, "In that case, I will obey your call, but please give me a call-up order. If the county lord blames me, I will have a response."
The dignified man took out a token and said casually: "Don't bother, this is our army's token, you can use it to represent your status. Since your cultivation is not low and you already have an official position, you can directly take the position of a captain!"
Chen Lin took the token in his hand and felt something was wrong.
The other party's recruitment was very hasty. Not only did they not ask detailed questions to verify his identity, they also directly gave him the position of a chief. Aren't they afraid that he might be a spy for the rebels
But before he could think more, he saw a figure falling from the sky, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Captain Zhao, have you chosen your men?"
The silver-armored figure made a sound, and it turned out to be a woman.
The dignified man immediately became cautious and hurriedly replied: "Commander, I have already chosen Captain Chen Lin, the most capable general under my command."
"Oh, you're thoughtful."
The silver-armored woman glanced at Chen Lin.
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You are an outsider who has not yet assimilated? It seems that you do have some tricks. As long as you can survive this mission, I guarantee that you will be promoted three levels!"
Chen Lin frowned, and understood the purpose of Captain Zhao summoning him. No wonder he didn't check anything, it turned out that he was used as a scapegoat.
If he survived, he would be promoted three levels. As one can imagine how dangerous the mission is, he was about to refuse it immediately.
Captain Zhao spoke in a cold voice at this time.
"Captain Chen, as a member of the Demon Suppression General's Vanguard Battalion, you must know that military orders are as heavy as mountains. You must not hesitate in carrying out the tasks assigned by the commander, otherwise military law will not tolerate any mercy!"
Chen Lin's mind raced, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Captain Zhao has the strength of the late foundation building stage or above, and the silver-armored woman's cultivation level is impossible to see through. She must have reached the Golden Core stage. It is useless to say anything now. Even if Xu Qingyuan is here, he probably can't change anything. He can only agree first and then find a way to leave.
He just didn't know what the other party had recruited him for, and whether he would have the chance to return to the county. Xiaocao and He Chengfeng were still in the city. If he left directly, they would definitely be anxious if they couldn't find him.
Xiaocao is fine, as he can be brought to his side at any time through the Demon Realm, but it is difficult for He Chengfeng.
"Time is running out, stop talking and let's go!"
The silver-armored woman didn't give Chen Lin a chance to speak. She spoke in a cold voice and then flew into the air.
Seeing this, Chen Lin had no choice but to follow.
The other party flew neither fast nor slow, as if taking his speed into consideration, making Chen Lin feel that this female commander seemed to be more considerate than Captain Zhao.
To his surprise, the other party did not fly towards the county town, nor towards other villages and towns, but stopped on a barren mountain.
There was no one else around, which made Chen Lin nervous and alert.
"Don't be nervous. I'm going to kill you and you won't even have a chance to react!"
The female commander glanced at Chen Lin and spoke calmly.
Chen Lin took a breath, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what the commander wants me to do, but I will obey your orders!"
The only trump cards he can rely on now are the power of the Golden Soul and the Sword Immortal Scroll. He doesn't know if he can withstand the opponent, so he can only show weakness.
The female commander didn't say anything for a long time. Just when Chen Lin felt the atmosphere was extremely depressing and wanted to ask again, she said in an ambiguous tone: "Originally, we only wanted to select one member of the death squad from each team, but now I have changed my mind."
The Expendables...
Chen Lin's face looked a little ugly.
The name of this task sounds like a fatal one, but fortunately, with the use of dribbling, things turned around a bit.
He did not ask any further questions, but waited quietly for the other party to continue.
"You are a little special."
The woman in silver armor suddenly said something that confused Chen Lin.
"I need you to do me a favor."
Now Chen Lin was really at a loss. With the other party's strength, he was almost at the top of this world. What could he need his help with
Really
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the other party has not yet been completely assimilated and is also an outsider like him, and wants his help to leave here
The silver-armored woman sensed Chen Lin's emotional changes and seemed to know what he was thinking. She said, "You may have thought of this. I have not been completely assimilated. Or rather, I have been assimilated but still retain my original memories. Even so, my essence has changed and I cannot leave this cage."
Chen Lin's expression changed. Seeing the other party pause, he asked, "What does the commander need me to do?"
The other party did not say whether he was an outsider or not, but it didn’t matter. As long as the other party had something to ask for, he would not have to join any suicide squad.
"I want you to help me find someone."
The silver-armored woman didn't waste any words and directly stated her purpose.
At the same time, a look of hope appeared on his face.
Then, without pausing, he continued, "Her name is Qiu Mufan, a woman who likes to brew wine. I will give you her portrait. If you can help me find her and get the information I need, I can give you a great opportunity."
At this point, she glanced at Chen Lin and said, "This opportunity is related to your path to immortality and your innate abilities."
As the other party spoke, Chen Lin's eyes became strange.
Is the luck improved by dribbling so strong that it can allow him to be so successful
If it was a case of strong luck, it would be normal for such a coincidence to happen, but now it is a bit too much.
The Qiu Mufan the other party was talking about, if he guessed correctly, must be the tavern proprietress. The other party's purpose was self-evident, which was to escape from the cage of this ancient country. The tavern proprietress should have a way to solve the assimilation problem or let the assimilated people leave the ruins.
What a coincidence!
He met the tavern owner outside, who gave him a task to find this person, and the reward he offered was exactly what he was worried about, the solution to the hidden danger of his talent ability!
The coincidence is unsettling.
Chen Lin wasn't sure if it was the effect of dribbling, but he didn't have time to think about it. Instead, he asked, "Why did the commander choose me?"
The silver-armored woman frowned and said in a cold voice: "Why are you asking when you already know the answer? In your current condition, you can leave this cage. Otherwise, would I be talking nonsense with you here?"
Then he softened his tone and said, "As long as you help me accomplish this, I will tell you the method to sever the connection between your innate abilities and the powerful. Apart from me, not many people know this method, and it is difficult to obtain it with your cultivation level."
After she finished speaking, she took out a jade slip, shook it at her forehead, and handed it to Chen Lin.
Here is her portrait. This person is not one who can stand loneliness. She should have some fame. You can try to find her. There is no rush. Just come in and find me when you find her.
