Good things come in pairs.
Chen Lin didn't expect that he would meet Yu Guangyan and Yu Gongyuan just after he successfully advanced to the Jindan realm. Although he was a little worried about such good luck, he was still very happy.
He said respectfully to Yu Gongyuan, "How long have you been in this world? After we parted at the Red Moon Sea, I haven't heard from you two since then. I miss you very much."
Since the other party appeared here, it meant that the Demon Realm node was very likely in the Jade Frog Kingdom, but he hadn't been able to find any information about the other party for more than ten years. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had just come in.
At the same time, he was also very interested in the outcome of the battle that year. He killed Gu Shengjin and three others, and created a feud with the Gu family.
Yu Gongyuan smiled slightly and said, "Haha, it took a long time. After that battle, we found the place that Elder Chen mentioned and came here. We have established a small country here and moved most of our tribesmen in."
Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.
The other party said this, which meant that the Crystal Clan won the battle. It seemed that the strength of the other clan was even stronger than he knew, and there was definitely more than just the clan leader Yu Gongqing, who was a Void Refinement Level expert.
At this time, Yu Guangyan on the side suddenly said: "Brother Chen, why are you here? Your cultivation has fallen to such a low level. Could it be caused by that battle? If so, I really feel guilty."
Chen Lin shook his head.
Then he looked around and said, "This is not a place to talk. Why don't we go into the city and find a place to have a good chat? I have many things I want to ask you two adults."
Yu Guangyan looked at the elder and when he nodded, he immediately said, "That's right. I'm also curious about your experiences over the years. I haven't been to Juming Tower in Frog City for many years. I'm craving for the fine wine there!"
After a few words of greeting, the group rode their light beams back into the city.
After some communication, Chen Lin finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that Yu Gongyuan and others did not win the battle, but suffered a great setback. However, they had the support of Yingyue Palace, and with the help of Yingyue Palace, the Gu family did not dare to act presumptuously. Not only did they stop their attacks, but they also compensated with a lot of treasures. The matter was thus covered.
After all, as descendants of the true spirit, the Gu family has powerful people backing them up.
After experiencing this incident, the other party discovered that the environment of this world was suitable for the survival of the Crystal Clan, so they moved most of the clansmen here, used this place as a foundation for development, and gradually gave up their involvement with the outside world.
In order to prevent the Gu family from still thinking about them, the other party used special means to close the node of the Demon Realm connecting to this place. If the exact location is not known, it cannot be sensed at all even if special means are used to stimulate it.
"Husband, are these foreigners reliable?"
After returning to their residence, Luo Qinglan and Chen Lin sat down to talk, while Yu Gongyuan and the other two claimed that they still had some things to do, and agreed to take them to the node and send them off in ten days.
The two sides left communication tokens to each other, and the other party also told the location of the small country they had built, so there was no need to worry about never finding anyone again.
“It’s hard to say.”
Chen Lin couldn't be sure either.
He and Yu Guangyan had a good relationship in the past, but after so many years, people change, and the other party's status in the clan is not very high. If the great elder wanted to kill them to prevent them from leaking information about this world, the other party would not be able to stop it.
Luo Qinglan asked this question out of this concern.
"Then how should we deal with it? That great elder has a very high level of cultivation. If he has any bad intentions, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to resist him."
Chen Lin thought about it for a while and felt that the matter was difficult.
The key is that their speculation is purely speculative and they cannot conclude that the other party will really silence them, but they cannot afford the risk.
"How about this, when they come over, I will have a private conversation with Yu Guangyan, be honest with each other, and try to sign a spiritual contract to constrain both parties."
After saying this, he added, "But you still have to be careful. Take advantage of these days to prepare some life-saving methods. Also inform Master Mu and the others, but remind them not to disclose the news of leaving this place, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
If Sihai Trading Company knew that they were leaving, they would definitely not let them go easily. After all, they are the company's cash cow.
So it’s better to leave without saying goodbye.
Luo Qinglan nodded, stood up and left.
Chen Lin returned to the training room, first checked his cultivation level after the promotion, and then took out several items from the storage bag.
A golden seal pad, a purple-gold crown, a yellow robe, and a purple-gold soft armor.
These four things were the spoils obtained after killing the fourth prince in the ruins, and they are all spiritual treasures.
Moreover, the golden seal pad and purple gold soft armor are both of the spiritual level!
These two treasures alone are more valuable than everything he lost!
However, even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot use such treasures. One must reach the Divine Transformation stage to use them. Now he can only look at them.
The purple gold crown and yellow robe are both ordinary spiritual treasures, and they are both defensive types. Now that he has been promoted to the golden elixir stage, he can unleash some of their power, but it is a bit reluctant.
Moreover, the yellow robe was partially damaged by the power of the Thunder God's Sword, and its defense was only comparable to that of a stronger pseudo-spiritual treasure.
Luo Qinglan had no use for these things, so he had to use them first. Even though he didn't like this eye-catching royal style, it was better than having nothing. He could dispose of them and exchange them for satisfactory treasures when he returned to the cultivator interface.
He put away the seal pad and put on the rest of the talisman, then Chen Lin took out another talisman.
It was the talisman that was opened from the treasure chest of luck.
Originally, I thought it would be used when rescuing Luo Qinglan, but in the end, I used the strong luck technique three times to kill the Fourth Prince, and this item was kept.
This is also the strongest trump card he can use at present.
According to his understanding of the immobilization talisman, a cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage would definitely not be able to resist its power. A cultivator at the early stage of the Void Refinement stage should be able to immobilize the cultivator for a while, but the prerequisite is that the target must be hit.
Therefore, this talisman needs to be used by Luo Qinglan. With his ability to travel through space, he is the best person to use this talisman. If Yu Gongyuan really has malicious intentions, this talisman is their means of saving their lives.
As long as he can freeze it for a moment, his Thor's Sword can strike back and kill it!
Next, Chen Lin selected some common magic weapons that could be used. After completing his preparations, he began to swallow pills to consolidate his cultivation.
Ten days passed in a flash.
Yu Gongyuan and his companion arrived as scheduled. Chen Lin and others were already prepared and went out to greet them.
Things went smoothly. After communicating with Yu Guangyan, the other party reported to the Great Elder, and the two parties signed a spiritual contract, and then sent them out of the Crystal Light Realm.
It went more smoothly than expected.
The node was not located in the capital of Yuwa Kingdom, but in an underground cave. It was sealed tightly, and even Luo Qinglan, who possessed spatial abilities, could not sense it at close range.
However, once you know the location, it's not difficult to break it.
Chen Lin did not say goodbye to the people of Sihai Trading Company. He just left a letter and gave his yard and the finances of the Crystal Clan to Yu Jiuer.
The other party is from the Crystal Clan, and it is not suitable for them to develop in the outside world. He has entrusted Yu Guangyan to help take care of them. This interface may come again in the future, and it is not certain that they will never see each other again.
"My husband, the forces in the Ten Thousand Stele Forest are complicated. Should we build a base here? It will be more convenient if we want to resell supplies from the Crystal Light Realm."
After leaving the node, Chen Lin briefly introduced the situation nearby, and Luo Qinglan immediately made a proposal.
He shook his head and said, "Since we have signed a spiritual contract to keep the existence of the Crystal Light Realm secret, don't go in for the time being. Moreover, with our limited strength, we are not strong enough to build a base here. Let's go back to Liangyi City, where I used to live. I have some connections there, and I'll see if I can solve your health problems first."
When he was in Liangyi City, he had inquired about the location of this node in the Demon Realm from many sources. The entire large mountain range here is actually a series of giant monuments. The specific origin is unknown and it is a product of ancient times.
However, there is a legend that these giant monuments are related to the fairyland, so they attracted many forces to fight for territory. Almost all the mountains were occupied by some forces. However, as time went by, no discoveries were made and many forces withdrew, but a certain number of strong men still remained.
When there are too many forces, disputes are likely to arise, so it is better for them not to get involved in this muddy water.
However, things went against their wishes. Just as they finished their discussion and were about to set off, they were stopped by a group of people.
"Who is sneaking around in the Black Demon Sect's territory? What's their intention?!"
There were more than ten people in this group, all of them had a demonic aura and it was obvious that they were not righteous cultivators. However, the man with a hooked nose who was the leader had a very strong aura and his cultivation was at least in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The others were not weak either.
Chen Lin winked at Xiao Cao beside him, telling him not to be impulsive, then he clasped his fists and said, "Juniors and others were just passing by here, and didn't know this was your sect's territory. Please don't blame us, we'll leave right away!"
"Walk?"
The hook-nosed man sneered.
He glanced at Luo Qinglan and said, "What do you think our Black Demon Sect is? You can come and go as you please. Take them all back to me. I want to carefully check their identities to see if they are spies of the enemy!"
The other party's attitude made Chen Lin frown slightly.
He noticed the way the other party looked at Luo Qinglan, but a Divine Transformation cultivator would never capture someone just for the sake of a woman's beauty, unless he had practiced magic and lost his mind, but the other party was obviously not like that.
That means he saw through Luo Qinglan's divine phoenix body and coveted it, so he came here deliberately to cause trouble.
"Why, you youngsters, you still want to resist? Just surrender and don't wait for me to take action."
Seeing Luo Qinglan and the others taking fighting stances, the hook-nosed man couldn't help but speak with contempt.
Chen Lin signaled to them to restrain themselves again, then took out a jade pendant.
He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "I am from the Murong family of Tongtian City. I want to see how you catch us!"
Seeing Chen Lin's actions, Luo Qinglan and others quietly retreated to the back, following Chen Lin's lead with an arrogant look on their faces.
They all worked their way up from the bottom, so bluffing comes naturally to them.
The hook-nosed man frowned and was about to sneer, but after taking a glance at the jade pendant, his expression suddenly changed.
Tongtian City is not too far from the Forest of Ten Thousand Steles. It is the largest city in the center of Tianfang Continent. The Murong family is a super clan with countless powerful people.
He often went to Tongtian City, and he could tell at a glance that the jade pendant was real, and it was also a token of the direct descendant of the Murong family.
"Haha, you are a disciple of the Murong family. That's a misunderstanding. I am Lan Zhihan from the Black Demon Sect. I have had many interactions with the noble Taoist Murong Qianling. Please help me introduce him to you."
The hook-nosed man lowered his posture, forced a smile and spoke.
"Okay, can we go now?"
Chen Lin said calmly.
"Of course, the descendants of the Murong family are always welcome in the Black Demon Sect!"
The hook-nosed man waved his hand, and his men immediately made way. Chen Lin then fled away with Luo Qinglan and the others.
"Elder Lan, we..."
One of the men stepped forward and asked Hooked Nose for his opinion.
"Humph, Tushan, take your men and follow them. Check the details of this group of people, especially that woman. Make sure you find out everything."
"yes!"
The men immediately responded and left.
Hooked Nose looked around, glanced at the mountain next to him, and left with the rest of the people.
Not far away.
On the mountainside, three figures stood in the air.
The leader was a young woman who was dressed coolly and showed off her curves. She looked like a young girl in her twenties, but a deep look in her eyes revealed that her appearance was only superficial.
His cultivation had even reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage!
Behind her were two thin women who looked like women. I don’t know what kind of martial arts they practiced, but they looked a bit eerie.
"Haha, this world is really small. I didn't expect to meet this person in this place. It's really surprising!"
The cool woman chuckled.
Then he turned back and said, "Aren't you two very familiar with this Elder Chen? Do you want to go up and say hello?"
The two women immediately said respectfully, "We two sisters are the young lady's servants. We have put aside all the previous matters and will do whatever the young lady asks us to do."
The cool woman was very satisfied with the attitude of the two men and nodded, "That's good to know. If I hadn't brought you up from the lower realm, you would have turned into a pile of bones long ago. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly because we are all from the same sect."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the direction where Chen Lin and the others left, and said, "That guy surnamed Chen not only has a grudge against you, but I was almost blown to death by him in the lower realm. Now that I have run into him, and he seems to have some health problems and his cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, I have to give him back in return!"
…
Chen Lin didn’t know that he was being noticed, but he sensed that someone was following him, so he didn’t dare to delay and took a few people straight to Tongtian City.
Anyway, his token was real, and he was planning to ask Murong Feng for help in sending them back to Liangyi City, so he was not afraid of the hook-nosed man following them and investigating.
It just so happened that if everything went well, he could also go to Baimu City near Tongtian City and fulfill his promise to Zhang Tianyue, the appraiser of Tianbao Pavilion, to visit his family.
