I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2112 Request
After descending several dozen feet from the cave entrance, we finally reached an open area.

"Is this an ancient witch's ruin?"

The goddess spoke with a hint of doubt in her voice.

The plump goddess beside him immediately looked at Chen Lin and Hu San Niang.

He said coldly, "You two, don't try anything funny. If you dare to have even the slightest wicked thought, the consequences will be more than you can bear!"

"Rest assured, my lord, how could we dare to disobey the Divine Lord? This place is indeed an ancient witch's ruin, but it has been abandoned for a long time and has been explored countless times. Everything that could be taken has already been taken."

Hu San Niang hurriedly answered.

Chen Lin looked around, and he was also surprised.

Although the underground space was dark, he could still see his surroundings clearly with his eyesight.

On the rock walls surrounding this open area, there are a series of cave entrances, leading to unknown destinations, like a giant beehive.

Would an ancient shaman live in such a place?

Let alone the ancient witches, even the small demon races of today have a much better living environment than this, and there is plenty of space on the ground, so why live in a cave?

Is it possible?

Chen Lin thought of a possibility.

Perhaps the ancient shamans were hiding from some powerful enemy, which is why they had to go underground. The demise of this cultivation group was probably also related to that unknown enemy.

“Master, the situation here is strange. Why don’t we go out first and come back to investigate slowly after we have gathered enough people?”

The voluptuous goddess offered advice.

"No need for that."

The goddess spoke softly.

Pointing at Hu Sanniang, he said, "You and she will explore the left side together, while I and this Shi Yu will explore the right side. It's just a small ancient shaman's ruins, so don't worry about it too much."

"Yes!"

The voluptuous goddess hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Turning to Hu Sanniang, he said coldly, "Lead the way, or I'll give you a reason to kill me!"

Hu San Niang's expression changed.

But he still didn't make a move, and obediently walked towards a passage on the left.

Seeing this, Chen Lin also loosened his grip on her hand.

He didn't know how strong the voluptuous goddess was, but since Hu San Niang hadn't made a move, it meant there was no hope of victory, and he could only continue to endure and wait for an opportunity.

"Let's go."

The goddess urged softly.

"Yes."

Chen Lin bowed respectfully.

He knew nothing about this place and could only choose any passage to enter.

He secretly weighed his options, wondering what his chances of winning would be if he were to act alone.

"No need to calculate, you don't have even a 10% chance of winning."

The voice of the goddess suddenly appeared in Chen Lin's mind.

He was shocked.

The walking figure immediately lunged forward, its indomitable spirit ignited.

"If I were you, I wouldn't act impulsively."

The goddess looked at Chen Lin without any reaction, her expression remaining calm and unconcerned.

Chen Lin's expression was uncertain.

Ultimately, he suppressed his urge to attack and asked in a deep voice, "When did you discover our identities?"

"hehe."

The goddess chuckled.

"You don't think that the disciples of our Heavenly Palace can suppress you just by relying on their divinity, do you? With your low-level disguise, you are like clowns in front of my abilities."

Chen Lin's heart sank to the bottom.

The other party was clearly not an ordinary Black-Patterned Celestial God; he possessed an extraordinary perceptive talent and could even discern what was on his mind.

They've really hit a brick wall.

"Since you've brought this up, I'm sure you're not trying to play a trick on me. There must be something you need me to do. Why don't you tell me?"

Chen Lin abandoned his intention to attack and tentatively inquired about the other party's purpose.

"clever."

The goddess praised it.

Then he said he looked Chen Lin up and down.

He seemed puzzled and said, "I always felt that you were neither a demon nor a red ape, but your bloodline was very pure, which was really strange."

There was a pause.

She raised an eyebrow.

"You're not one of those so-called time travelers, are you?"

Chen Lin looked completely bewildered.

Make a gesture as if you didn't understand what the other person was saying.

Empty your mind to prevent the other party from perceiving your true thoughts.

The goddess did not wait for his reply.

He casually said, "It doesn't matter what your identity is. Now, you do something for me. As long as you succeed, I will not only not expose your identity, but I will also help you cover it up and provide you with cultivation resources."

"Please enlighten me, Divine Lord."

Chen Lin bowed and inquired.

The goddess pondered for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "Go and kill someone for me."

"Who?"

Chen Lin pressed for an answer.

It was truly unexpected that the other party would ask him to help kill someone.

"Red Six!"

The goddess announced a name.

Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise, only to see that the other person's expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Is the Divine Lord referring to the Crimson-Striped Celestial God?"

He spoke up to confirm.

"hehe."

The goddess chuckled softly.

"The so-called Red Stripe is nothing more than a nominal disciple like us. Your Red Ape Clan's indomitable spirit can restrain him. I will provide you with his location and guarantee you the opportunity to deal with him alone."

"I need to unite with my companions."

Chen Lin did not ask why the other party wanted to kill their fellow disciples, but instead asked to act together with Hu Sanniang.

Without Hu Sanniang, he wouldn't have been able to kill even the Black-striped Heavenly God, let alone the Red-striped one; otherwise, he would have already attacked and killed him.

"can."

The goddess nodded in agreement.

He then said in a deep voice, "Remember, after you kill Hong Liu, you can take the other things, but he has a piece of red jade on him, which must be handed over to me."

Speaking of it.

She pointed her finger at Chen Lin.

"Don't dodge. I need to leave a secret mark on you. If you try to escape, the mark will explode, and that feeling is terrible. I advise you not to try."

Chen Long clenched his fist.

She held back and did not resist.

A ray of light entered his brow, forming an illusory flower in his mind.

“This is my innate mark. As long as you don’t run away, I won’t activate it. Moreover, this mark can release divinity, which you can use to activate divine artifacts, and it will also benefit you.”

"Okay, let's go out."

After explaining, the female deity clapped her hands.

He then added, "There's nothing good here. I explored the area before Hei Qi arrived. In fact, I was watching from a distance when you killed Hei Qi, but I just didn't show myself."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly.

He and Hu Sanniang were too arrogant. If the gods were so easy to deal with, they couldn't have suppressed an entire realm with just a couple hundred people.

It's good to have learned this lesson, so that I won't lose my life because of it in the future.

"Take this thing."

The goddess then handed Chen Lin another bag.

He explained, "There's a Soul-Chasing Bee inside. Hong Liu is currently 800 miles away near Black Mist Gorge. Once you get there, open the bag, and the Soul-Chasing Bee will guide you to your target."

"But there's one thing you should be aware of."

“Hong Liu has a real divine weapon called the Sky-Locking Flute. You must not let him play the flute, otherwise you will not have a chance to make a move.”

"understood."

Chen Lin indicated that he was aware of this.

Then they walked out of the passage.

The goddess snapped her fingers.

A short while later, the voluptuous divine messenger emerged from a passage, followed by a bewildered Hu San Niang.

There's nothing here, no need to waste time.

Said a word.

The goddess was the first to walk outside.

The voluptuous divine messenger glanced at Chen Lin and Hu Sanniang, and asked, "Master, should we get rid of these two?"

"They're just two ants, and they're obedient enough, so I'll spare their lives..." Before he could finish speaking, he had vanished.

"You guys are lucky to be alive."

The voluptuous envoy's eyes flickered, and after staring at Chen Lin for a while without noticing anything unusual, she flew over and followed him.

Chen Lin and Hu San Niang exchanged a glance.

Neither of them moved.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Hu San Niang finally sent a telepathic message to inquire.

"What happened? Why did that goddess leave and let us go?"

Chen Lin shook his head.

"I don't know either. Maybe they don't see us as a threat. After all, in the eyes of those gods, we're no different from ordinary wild beasts."

"Humph."

Upon hearing this explanation, Hu Sanniang snorted indignantly.

"That self-important bunch, once I get out of here, I'll definitely turn the entire Heavenly Palace upside down!"

"Then I wish you all the best."

Chen Lin echoed this sentiment.

Then he projected his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to use the power of the Ape Ancestor's bloodline to remove the mark, but the flower phantom only swayed and blocked the power of the bloodline outside.

This cast a shadow over his heart.

Carrying such a thing on one's body is similar to being a slave; if one doesn't get rid of it, one will be controlled by that female deity forever.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin then tried to use the power of his eyeballs.

Then his eyes flashed.

When he released the ghostly light from his eyes into his mind, the flower imprint instantly dimmed a little.

efficient!

This result delighted Chen Lin.

But I wasn't surprised.

He had previously believed that witchcraft should be effective.

After all, based on the comparison, the power of witchcraft and the divine power of the gods should be at the same level of energy, and the ghostly light of the eyeball is specifically designed for spirits, so it is very likely to have a restraining effect.

That way he can rest assured.

However, Chen Lin did not immediately remove the brand, lest he attract the female deity back.

Moreover, this brand is very useful.

With this item, he would essentially possess divinity, enabling him to not only activate storage rings but also unleash divine radiance for defense and utilize divine artifacts.

It is of great help whether it is killing Hong Liu or dealing with other powerful monsters.

"Although the goddess has released us, we cannot stay here any longer. We should hurry to Mount Damo."

Seeing Chen Lin lost in thought, Hu San Niang couldn't help but urge him on.

Chen Lin nodded.

"Third Sister is right. These gods have too many tricks up their sleeves. With our current strength, it is indeed difficult for us to fight them."

He did not mention killing Red Six.

The Black Mist Gorge mentioned by the goddess is the only way to reach Mount Damo, so there's no need to reveal the situation; we can just take action once we get there.

Now that he's said it, the other party is very likely to back down, no, they will definitely part ways with him.

After all, the other party didn't have any branding marks on them.

Chen Lin planned to hunt down Hong Liu. Even if he could remove the mark left by the female goddess, he still intended to go because he needed divinity to improve his cultivation.

Also.

If the brand is removed now, the goddess will definitely sense it, and if she comes looking for you, you're doomed.

After waiting for a while longer.

Once they were certain that the goddess would not return, Chen Lin and Hu Sanniang left the cave and returned to the shore of Moon Dragon Lake.

Look around.

Upon not seeing the female deity and her messenger, both of them relaxed.

Chen Lin glanced at the center of the lake.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Are all the ancient witch relics underground?"

"Ah."

Hu San Niang nodded.

"This phenomenon has always puzzled all races, but there is no relevant record in the ancient books. Everyone can only guess. Some say that the ancient shamans were goblins, so they liked to live underground."

Some people think they are hiding from something.

"Some powerful figures speculate that ancient shamans need the energy from the Earth's core to cultivate, so the more powerful an ancient shaman is, the deeper they need to build their cultivation grounds."

Chen Lin touched his chin.

After hearing what the other person said, he also felt that both were possible.

I stopped thinking about it.

He turned to look in the direction of the city and said, "I need to go back to the city. Wait for me for a while ten miles outside the city gate."

"doing what?"

Hu San Niang frowned.

Returning to the city at this time is not a wise move.

Chen Lin smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back. That goddess has probably already left, so it's safe here for the time being."

"Then hurry up, I'll only wait for you for an hour, or I won't wait for you anymore."

Hu San Niang set a time, and then took to the air and flew away.

Chen Lin then headed straight for the city.

He was going to rescue Long Xingzhou.

The chances of killing Red Six are slim, but having an extra helper increases the chances of success.

The other party is a Silver Dragon Clan member who has a blood feud with the Celestial God. They won't betray us halfway through, otherwise they wouldn't have become prisoners. So they are a good partner.

soon.

The city was right in front of us.

But Chen Lin didn't rush in.

Long Xingzhou was captured by City Lord Niu. If you want to rescue him, you'll probably have to fight against the powerful figures in the City Lord's Mansion.

Lord Niu is also a divine messenger and can use divine power, so we must prepare some powerful measures, otherwise we may be killed by the opponent.

They found a secluded spot.

Chen Lin activated the flower imprint, attempting to mobilize the divine power within the flower.

Success was achieved easily, just as expected.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately take out the storage ring and check the items inside.

Like the storage rings used by cultivators, when divine power was probed into it, a hazy gray space appeared. It wasn't very large, only a few feet long.

There were quite a few items, but they were all miscellaneous goods.

I observed for a while.

Chen Lin had a sudden thought.

A short knife with a sheath appeared in his hand.

The scabbard was snow-white, while the blade was a glossy black, creating a striking contrast.

Chen Lin grabbed the hilt and pulled hard, and a short, jet-black knife appeared in his sight.

Black knife?

He looked puzzled.

According to his observations and Hu Sanniang's explanation, the gods of the Heavenly God Palace seem to all like white, whether it's their robes, their natal flying swords, or other divine artifacts, they are all white.

Black ones are extremely rare.

Could this knife possess some extraordinary power?

Chen Lin had a guess in his mind.

He then attempted to activate it using divine power.

The black knife immediately began to hum.

The sound seemed to have a certain rhythm, which was unsettling to listen to. Chen Lin immediately urged his indomitable spirit to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.

Then he saw it again.

The black blade began to writhe, forming a ghostly face at the tip, emanating a chilling aura.

A demon-headed sword?

Chen Lin looked at the ghost face with great interest and thought of a sword name.

However, it doesn't matter what kind of knife it is, as long as it works, it's fine. Moreover, the power emanating from this knife is even stronger than Black Five's natal flying sword, making it a decent divine weapon.

The reason I didn't use it on Black Friday is probably because I was worried that the sound produced after the knife was activated would affect me.

That buzzing sound doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

I tried it again.

Chen Lin sheathed the knife with satisfaction.

This sword seems to have been tailor-made for him. His indomitable will can suppress the sword's cry. I wonder if it was deliberately arranged by that female deity. If so, this person's scheming is too deep.

But whether he uses it or not, he has to use it.

There is no use in thinking too much.

I observed for a while.

After finding nothing unusual, Chen Lin leisurely entered the city.
