"I'm sorry, I really have no relationship with Senior Murong Feng. It's difficult for me to meet him myself, so I can't introduce him to you."
After a brief thought, Chen Lin decided to refuse.
The other party never told Murong Feng the purpose of meeting him. If he helped to introduce him, it would be troublesome if it caused Murong Feng's displeasure. There was no need for that.
As for Lan Zhihan, he would find a way to deal with it himself.
At this moment, a figure came quickly and landed beside Chen Lin.
It was the grass that was summoned by Chen Lin through a special connection.
"Owner!"
Xiao Cao greeted Chen Lin, and looked at Lan Die'er and the other two girls with an unfriendly look, as if he was ready to take action at Chen Lin's command.
Lan Die'er's face turned ugly. She knew that Chen Lin had been dealing with her here for so long just to wait for this girl to come over and prevent her from taking any forceful action.
What surprised her even more was that this girl's swordsmanship was so powerful that even she felt vaguely threatened, and she actually called the other party "master"
"Chen Lin, you and I can both benefit from working together, so why should we keep people at a distance?"
Originally, Lan Die'er wanted to capture Chen Lin if he disagreed and force him to submit, but Xiaocao's appearance made her dare not act rashly, and she could only continue to persuade him.
Chen Lin said nothing more, but took Xiaocao and slowly left the range of the soundproofing array and disappeared on the street.
"Humph, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"
Lan Die'er was furious. She snorted coldly and turned away.
After returning to his residence, Chen Lin found Luo Qinglan and told him about the incident.
"Madam, why do you think Lan Zhihan coveted you? We were just passing by when he stopped us. It is impossible that he was attracted by your beauty. Although he is from the Demon Sect, he is a Divine Incarnation cultivator after all, so he would not be so serious."
Luo Qinglan looked thoughtful.
"The only things that a Divine Transformation cultivator would want from me are my bloodline essence and the Vermillion Bird Feather. However, he doesn't have any bloodline aura, so he shouldn't be able to use them. Besides, even if we are both cultivators of the same bloodline, the essences of different bloodlines cannot be used by each other. It's useless for him to snatch them, and it's hard to guess his purpose."
At this point, she looked at Chen Lin and said, "My husband, since this matter is related to Senior Murong Feng, why don't you go and pay him a visit and find out the situation first."
"Okay."
Chen Lin nodded. The Black Demon Sect was quite powerful, and he didn't know what Lan Zhihan was planning, so it was better to be careful.
Murong Feng's residence.
"The matter of the teleportation array will take some time. Don't worry. Tongtian City is far more prosperous than Liangyi City. It will be the same if you practice here. Once this space tidal wave is over, I will send someone to take you away."
Because of Murong Qing, Murong Feng still cared about Chen Lin and was not unhappy about being frequently disturbed.
Chen Lin felt relieved when he saw this.
The other party was in a high position of power and his cultivation was extremely high. In his eyes, a small figure like him was not even an ant. He was really worried that the other party would not see him.
"Reporting to you, Senior, I am not asking to see you because I am in a hurry to leave, but because I have something to report to you."
Chen Lin clasped his fists and saluted.
Then he explained the situation of Lan Zhihan and Lan Dieer in detail.
No exaggeration, just stating the facts.
Regardless of whether the other party will interfere in such a small matter, as long as the other party knows about it, if Lan Zhihan still dares to take action against them, it would be tantamount to a provocation to the other party, and the other party will not sit idly by.
In fact, what Chen Lin was mainly worried about was not Lan Zhihan, but Murong Qianling behind him. As a direct descendant of the Murong family, he did not have to abide by the rules in Tongtian City. If he took action, they would have no ability to resist.
"Yes, I understand."
After listening to Chen Lin's words, Murong Feng had no expression and replied indifferently.
This answer made Chen Lin feel uneasy, and he didn't know what the other party meant.
Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "Senior, I can't figure out the intention of Lan Zhihan of the Black Demon Sect. Although my Taoist partner has some looks, it is not to the point that a Divine Transformation cultivator would plot against her. Senior, do you know the reason?"
Lan Die'er insisted on seeing the other person by name, so there must be a reason, so the other party must know something. Chen Lin simply asked directly.
Only by finding out the whole story can he find a way to deal with it.
Murong Feng frowned, seeming somewhat displeased with Chen Lin's rudeness.
But after a pause, he explained, "Nothing. It's just that a fairy tablet appeared in the Wanbei Forest some time ago. It's located at the junction of the Black Demon Sect and the other two forces. The other party must have taken a fancy to the bloodline origin of your Taoist partner and wanted to use it to stimulate the fairy tablet and gain benefits."
After a pause, he continued, "The appearance of the Immortal Monument will cause a lot of turmoil. Now that the news has not spread, all parties are playing games. One of the conditions for activating the Immortal Monument is the blood of the True Spirit. Your Taoist partner's bloodline is pure, so it's normal for people to be concerned about him. But don't worry, I will give you a jade talisman that represents your identity. As long as you don't leave Tongtian City, no one will dare to do anything to you."
So that's how it is!
Chen Lin didn't expect this to be the reason. It was really a sudden disaster.
However, with the other party's guarantee, they just need to hide in the city honestly. As one of the most powerful figures in the Murong family, he should not be unable to protect a few low-level cultivators like them.
Although he thought so, after leaving, Chen Lin still went to the market place first and collected some classics about Wanbeilin.
After understanding it, he couldn't help but become serious.
According to historical records, the Forest of Ten Thousand Steles existed countless thousands of years before the Tianxuan Realm was shattered. Legend has it that when they fell, they were huge pieces of debris with inscriptions on them, but the inscriptions on them soon disappeared.
As time went by, the fragments turned into mountains and disappeared from the world.
But every ten thousand years or so, some fragments would show strange signs, and at that time, as long as they were stimulated with extremely high-level energy items, it would be possible to obtain the immortal inheritance from them.
The higher the level of energy used, the better the inheritance obtained.
The pure blood of the true spirit is something that meets the conditions for activation, followed by the power of innate origin and some treasures containing special energy.
However, the fragments of the immortal monument have extremely high requirements for energy levels. It is not enough to have the blood of the true spirit and the origin of talent. There are very few people who can meet the requirements. That is why Luo Qinglan was targeted by Lan Zhihan.
The body of the Divine Phoenix is the top existence in the Phoenix bloodline. Whether in terms of rank or blood purity, it is definitely sufficient.
This situation made Chen Lin a little worried.
It is still unknown what energy requirements are required for the fragments of the immortal monument that appeared this time. If most of the descendants of the true spirits and those with talent meet the requirements, then it’s not a big deal. Even if a small part of them meet the requirements, it’s fine.
The only thing to be afraid of is that Luo Qinglan is unique, or that the people who meet the requirements are extremely rare, in which case it would attract more than just Lan Zhihan.
After returning to his residence, Chen Lin told Luo Qinglan the information he had received and told him not to leave his residence in the near future to avoid being noticed by other powerful people.
Luo Qinglan also felt very depressed.
She thought for a moment and said, "My husband, don't worry too much. If it is used to activate the fragments of the immortal tablet, it is impossible to extract the blood essence. Once the blood essence leaves the body, it will quickly dissipate and cannot meet the requirements of activating items. So even if someone wants to use my blood essence, they can only capture me and force me to use it. It won't hurt my life."
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Even so, we should not be careless. There are countless secret techniques in the cultivation world. Maybe there is a way to preserve the essence of blood. We can't gamble on such things."
Then he continued, "Logically speaking, bloodline talents can only be sensed when they are used or specially explored. Since Lan Zhihan was able to discover your peculiarity at a glance, I'm afraid he must have some related secret techniques. We must be on guard."
He himself has the source of talent, so he naturally knows that the source will dissipate if it leaves the body, but he also knows that there is the source ball, which can not only preserve the energy source for a long time, but also can be used by people with different talents.
Therefore, whether or not the data can be extracted and saved depends mainly on whether you have mastered the method.
To be on the safe side, Chen Lin gave up his current courtyard, took the jade talisman given by Murong Feng, and rented a cave in the inner city area under the other party's jurisdiction.
Then the formation was activated, and everyone practiced in the cave, not caring about what was happening outside.
Three months passed in a flash.
No one came to disturb him during this period, allowing Chen Lin to gradually relax.
A few days later, he went out to inquire about whether the matter of the immortal stele had passed, but he learned that the immortal stele was manifesting very slowly and had not yet been fully formed.
But the news had spread.
Now, not only the cities surrounding the Ten Thousand Stele Forest know the information about the appearance of the immortal stele, but strong people from farther places have also rushed here. The number of people in Tongtian City is increasing, and it is becoming more and more diverse.
What makes Chen Lin depressed is that after so long, the space here has not only not stabilized, but the fluctuations have become even more intense.
He couldn't help but suspect that this situation was caused by the advent of the Immortal Monument. If this was the case, he would not be able to use the teleportation array until the matter of the Immortal Monument was resolved.
As for traveling through the wild without the teleportation array, one wouldn't dare to do that under normal circumstances, let alone now.
All they can do is wait.
However, after waiting for a few more months, Chen Lin finally felt something was wrong.
Not only has the immortal monument not yet fully manifested, but more and more powerful people have come to Tongtian City, and even many famous high-level Taoist masters have come.
"Husband, have you found out any information?"
A group of people gathered in the cave, and Luo Qinglan asked.
Chen Lin shook his head.
He frowned and said, "According to the information recorded in the classics, the immortal tablet did not take so long to appear ten thousand years ago. It took less than a month from the appearance of the strange omen to the end. But this time it has not appeared for almost a year. There must be something wrong, but I don't have a way to obtain information, so I can't find out the reason for the time being."
He immediately added: "But no matter what the reason is, we don't need to get involved. We should just wait and see what happens."
At this time, Zhuge Hengyun suddenly said, "Elder Chen, the stars have been changing very strangely recently. Something big is bound to happen that will change the current situation of the cultivation world. Elder Chen should pay more attention to it. If that doesn't work, you should pay a visit to Senior Murong again to get the ball rolling."
Chen Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this.
There is no doubt about Zhuge Hengyun's ability to observe the stars. What the other party said means that something big is really going to happen, and it must be related to the immortal monument.
But he said helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't count on Senior Murong. I asked for a meeting once before, but he didn't see me. I don't have a close relationship with him. It's precious that he has expressed his willingness to protect our safety. I can't ask for too much."
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin said, "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Things have changed. We can't just sit and wait any longer. Luo Qinglan should not go out, lest he be targeted by other strong men. We will try our best to find out the situation."
He didn't say it explicitly, but as the situation changed, he even found it hard to believe Murong Feng.
The immortal monument can attract so many powerful people, the inheritance on it must be extraordinary. If it is high enough, Murong Feng will probably set his sights on Luo Qinglan.
Even the other party kept them by their side for this purpose.
If one just wants to use the essence of blood to obtain inheritance, then that's fine, but I'm afraid that in order to ensure that the inheritance is not leaked, one might kill people to silence them!
One must always be on guard against others. Although Chen Lin continued to act as usual, he secretly began to look for a short-distance transmission method other than the Murong family. If he found something wrong, he would teleport away even if it meant taking some risks.
But if I really fall out with a person like Murong Feng, let alone whether I can escape, even if I escape, I will have no place to stand in the Tianfang Continent.
"I hope you are well, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Lin walked out of a shop in the market town and met Lan Dieer again.
He ignored the other party and left.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, the fragments of the immortal tablet that came out this time are the core part, which requires very pure high-level energy to stimulate. Your Taoist partner is a rare candidate, so you must hide well!"
The two men passed each other, and Chen Lin suddenly heard the other party's voice transmission in his ears.
"What do you mean?"
He immediately stopped, turned back and asked in a cold voice.
Lan Die'er smiled and said, "It's nothing special. I just want to remind you kindly. After all, we are from the same hometown, right?"
After saying that, he swung his body and left.
Chen Lin looked at the other person's back, wondering about his purpose.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't get it right.
The other party has not appeared since he was rejected last time. He doesn't know whether he has contacted Murong Feng through other channels. He also can't tell whether this meeting was a coincidence or the other party did it intentionally.
It feels like a sarcasm, but also like a reminder of something.
"Mystification!"
Chen Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
The actions of the people from the Demon Sect cannot be inferred by common sense. They practice magic skills quickly, but it basically affects their mind, and few of them are not abnormal.
Although he didn't want to study Lan Die'er's purpose, the other party gave him a piece of information. The fragments of the immortal monument that appeared this time were the core parts, and the requirements for stimulating energy were higher!
This was the thing he least wanted to see. The higher the energy level required, the more dangerous Luo Qinglan would be.
"We can't stay in this place anymore!"
Chen Lin found a secluded place and thought it over carefully, and felt that staying in Tongtian City would do more harm than good.
Even though everything is calm and they are safe now, as long as Murong Feng has the idea of extracting the essence of Luo Qinglan's blood, they will be doomed!
