I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2113 Black Knife, Golden Spear

City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Lin glanced at the magnificent building, then strode towards the gate.

"stop!"

A bull-headed demon shouted sternly.

He sized up Chen Lin.

He said coldly, "Don't you even know where you are? Do you think you can just barge in like this? State your name, or I'll send you on your way!"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

No words were spoken.

With a flick of his wrist, the blade flashed, and the little demon lost its life.

He casually put it into his storage ring.

This Lord Niu is a divine messenger, making him a natural enemy. There's no need to hold back. To avoid drawing out the celestial being behind him, the only option is to silence him.

All the way without stopping.

Chen Lin stormed into the backyard.

Then they saw the huge carriage parked in the courtyard.

However, the carriage had already been opened, and Long Xingzhou was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a group of minotaur demons were standing on the carriage, struggling to unload something.

"who!"

Upon seeing Chen Lin suddenly enter, the tall bull demon who was giving orders immediately stepped forward warily, sizing up Chen Lin while glancing at the outer courtyard gate.

His expression immediately changed.

He raised his hand and grabbed a black spear from the side, assuming an attack stance towards Chen Lin.

"Where is Lord Niu? Tell him to come out and see me!"

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

"Who are you, and what business do you have with the city lord?"

The tall bull demon asked in a deep voice.

He didn't act immediately, but instead stalled for time, waiting until the other bull demons surrounded him before swinging his spear.

"kill him!"

The demons immediately swarmed forward.

But that's it.

A burly man with two enormous, jet-black horns flew out.

It landed on the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this, the demons immediately ceased their attack, retreated to the back, and bowed to the burly man.

"What race are you? Why did you commit such a heinous act in the city lord's mansion? Do you know that such behavior is punishable by law?"

The burly man spoke in a deep voice.

What he said almost made Chen Lin laugh.

Although the demon race is intelligent, its wild nature has not diminished. It has always been a dog-eat-dog world, and no one has ever been known to follow the law. Moreover, the entire demon race does not have a unified law.

Moreover, the other party is the city lord.

That's what the other party said.

Either they lack confidence, or they are stalling for time.

No nonsense.

Chen Lin drew his black blade, his figure leaped up, and the long blade transformed into a black streak, slashing down at the burly man's head!

"Artifact?"

"Wait!"

Sensing the divine aura emanating from the black blade, the burly man was momentarily stunned and hurriedly told Chen Lin to stop.

But how could Chen Lin possibly stop?

Seizing the opportunity, his body swelled up, transforming into his red ape form.

With unwavering resolve, he withstood the oppressive force created by the difference in their cultivation levels. The black blade emitted a sharp hum as it struck the bull's head.

"open!"

Lord Niu roared.

The two bull horns suddenly grew out, like two long spears, and crossed together to block.

at this time.

The ghost face on the ghost-head knife revealed a strange smile.

Numerous wriggling rice-grain runes appeared along the blade's edge, countless and densely packed.

These talismans are depicted as tiny figures, barely visible to the naked eye, each holding a black knife and constantly slashing at the ox lord's horns.

The bull's horn was instantly disintegrated.

of course.

It's not that complicated in the eye of the beholder.

What onlookers saw was Chen Lin's blade forcefully piercing through the bull's horns, splitting the city lord in two from top to bottom, with blood flowing out like a waterfall.

"what!"

The lesser demons panicked and immediately scattered and fled.

Chen Lin hadn't expected the Ghost Head Saber to have such a change. He was stunned for a moment, then unleashed a burst of light, slaying all the lesser demons.

Only one person was left for interrogation.

"Where is that captured silver dragon man?!"

"Pooh!"

The little demon was surprisingly tough and spat fiercely at Chen Lin.

Seeing this, Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions and ended the other party's life with a single strike.

He then put away the items that caught his eye and prepared to continue the search.

suddenly.

His gaze swept across the carriage, his expression shifted, and he quickly walked closer.

Then they saw a spear about ten feet long on the cart.

It is entirely golden and as thick as an average person's arm; just having it there gives people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

He immediately reached out to grab the spear.

But I couldn't lift it.

"rise!"

With a strong effort, Chen Lin finally managed to lift the spear.

But it was also very difficult.

He paused for less than two breaths before putting it down again, causing the carriage to shake violently.

However, the carriage was specially made, tall and large, so it didn't fall apart.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

Keep in mind that he is currently in his transformed state, and the Red Ape Clan is known for its strength talent, so lifting several thousand kilograms is a piece of cake for them, yet they cannot lift such a long spear.

It weighs at least 10,000 jin (5,000 kg).

Could it be Xuanjin (玄金)?
Chen Lin suddenly remembered the special products of Sunset Sea that Hu San Niang had mentioned.

A spear that is ten feet long and weighs ten thousand pounds can probably only be made of Xuanjin, which is famous for its weight. Moreover, it is very likely that Lord Niu brought back a divine weapon made of Xuanjin after returning from Sunset Sea.

"This is the fate."

Chen Lin picked up the spear and put it into his storage ring.

Fortunately, he can use the storage ring now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take this treasure with him. Moreover, he didn't go to Sunset Sea, but the Xuanjin weapon was delivered to his hands on its own, which made him feel a sense of destiny.

The only regret is.

He had planned to forge a golden cudgel after obtaining the Xuanjin, but this turned out to be a spear.

"I am not the Great Sage after all!"

I sighed.

Chen Lin didn't delay any longer and began searching for the Dragon Boat.

After a stick of incense.

outside the city.

Long Xingzhou, looking as if he had just survived a disaster, bowed to Chen Linshen.

"Thank you for saving me, Brother Chen. I saw you at the city gate earlier, and I thought you had forgotten me."

Chen Lin smiled.

"I'm sorry to have startled you, Brother Long. We are friends, how could I sit idly by? I'm just looking for an opportunity."

Long Xingzhou's eyes flashed.

"I never expected that Brother Chen would actually break into the City Lord's Mansion and kill that City Lord Niu. The other party was an eighth-level great demon with divine power. Brother Chen is truly a hero!"

"okay."

Chen Lin was speechless.

"What are you, a dragon, showing off your literary talent for? Tell me how you were captured, what's the situation at Sunset Sea, and who is the god behind City Lord Niu?"

"I hadn't even reached Sunset Sea when I ran into that bull demon and was captured."

Long Xingzhou felt a wave of frustration.

He continued, "I don't know the specifics of Sunset Sea either, but I've heard that a traitor emerged from the Dragon Clan, leading to the death of the Old Dragon King and the complete annihilation of the resistance forces."

He gritted his teeth as he said this.

"I never thought there would be traitors among the dragons. It must be the winged dragons. Those guys are the most spineless and don't deserve to be called dragons!"

Chen Lin had no interest in commenting on matters concerning the dragon race.

He interrupted again, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me who the god behind City Lord Niu is. If that person comes, you won't be able to be a dragon anymore."

Long Xingzhou shook his head.

"Brother Chen, don't worry. The celestial being behind that bull demon is Hong Shi. He went to the Heavenly Demon Continent with the Golden-Patterned Celestial God and won't be back for a while." Chen Lin's expression relaxed upon hearing this.

He nodded and said, "That's good news. Let's go then. I'll introduce you to a companion."

We arrived at the agreed-upon place.

Hu Sanniang was waiting expectantly when she saw Long Xingzhou beside Chen Lin, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Dragon clan?"

Long Xingzhou raised his head and said proudly, "It's the Silver Dragon Clan!"

"Humph."

Hu San Niang ignored Long Xingzhou and turned her gaze to Chen Lin.

"The dragon's aura is very obvious, and I don't have any more Golden Bell Flowers. The dragons are currently the focus of the gods' attention. Are you sure you want to bring him along?"

"Take it with you."

Chen Lin spoke up.

He then explained, "His talent can also suppress divinity, which is helpful to our plans. Moreover, he knows many ancient secrets and can help us explore ancient witch ruins."

Upon seeing this, Long Xingzhou dropped his arrogant demeanor.

He chuckled dryly, his head bowed, "Don't worry, sir, I have a treasure of the Silver Dragon Clan that can conceal my aura."

Done.

A silver bead around his neck glowed faintly, and the dragon aura emanating from his body vanished instantly.

Hu San Niang's complexion improved somewhat.

“In that case, take it with you. But when we get to Mount Damo, I can’t guarantee whether the mountain god will let you go up. It seems that your dragon clan has a rather distant relationship with the mountain god.”

"Are you going to Mount Damo?"

Long Xingzhou's expression changed.

After hesitating for a while, he gave a wry smile and said, "I'll go then. At worst, I'll get a beating. It seems like that's the only safe place right now."

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

He immediately interjected, "What, you know that old mountain god?"

"Ah."

Long Xingzhou hummed in agreement.

“I went there with the clan chief before and stole some things, so I’m a little scared.”

"But that's okay."

"At most, that old mountain god will beat me up; he won't hold a grudge against you for it."

"That's good."

Chen Lin didn't dwell on the matter any further.

Whether we can safely reach Mount Damo is uncertain, so it's too early to think too much about it now.

After chatting for a while, they set off.

Because they dared not be too conspicuous, it took them a full day and night to reach the vicinity of Black Mist Gorge.

Watch from afar.

The entire canyon is shrouded in black mist, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with the ocean connecting on both sides, making it a truly spectacular sight.

"Rumor has it that this canyon was split open by a single sword. I don't know if it's true or not. Perhaps there really was a terrifyingly powerful being in ancient times, forcing even the ancient shamans to hide underground."

Long Xingzhou looked at the canyon and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin also looked towards the canyon.

He asked, "If it was truly the work of the ancient sorcerer's enemies, then there should be ancient sorcerer's relics below, right?"

"Have."

Hu San Niang, who was standing to the side, took over the conversation.

"Not only are there ancient shamanic ruins, but this place has also produced many treasures. It will surely attract the attention of the gods, so we should not stay here for long."

"Correct."

Long Xingzhou immediately echoed.

"Wherever there are ancient shamanic ruins, gods and divine messengers often appear. Let's hurry and get through there."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

He took out the bag of Soul-Chasing Bees.

Looking towards the canyon, he said, "I have a feeling that there might be gods here. I need to verify it."

After saying that, he opened the bag.

A very small white bee appeared.

He needed to use this item to track down Hong Liu, so there was no way to hide it. Both Hu San Niang and Long Xing Zhou were highly skilled and could not possibly fail to discover this item.

"what is this?"

Hu San Niang frowned.

"A kind of tracking bee that can sense divinity from a distance. I scavenged it from the city, and this is the only one I have. I don't know if it will be of any use."

Using any excuse, Chen Lin began to observe the Soul-Chasing Bee.

The Soul-Chasing Bee circled twice in the same spot, then flapped its wings and flew to the left front.

"Really!"

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Hu Sanniang and said, "It seems there's only one. Should we fight or retreat?"

"war!"

Hu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but her fighting spirit prevailed, and she coldly uttered the word "fight".

Long Xingzhou opened his mouth.

He didn't want to fight, but he knew his opinion was useless, so he simply kept quiet.

"Then fight!"

Chen Lin secretly praised the warmongers for being so easy to fool, and then took to the air, following Bai Feng's guidance as he flew into the black mist.

Hu Sanniang immediately caught up.

Long Xingzhou sighed, and could only grit his teeth and follow.

White bees are very fast.

Before long, it flew to the depths of the canyon and kept descending.

"That god should be in the ruins."

Hu Sanniang caught up with Chen Lin and used telepathy to speculate.

Then he asked, "Can this bee sense the power of that god? Is it black-striped or red-striped? Is there a divine messenger by its side?"

Chen Lin had no idea about these things.

I could only give a vague answer.

"Their strength is uncertain, but they are definitely not golden-patterned, and it seems they don't have any divine messengers."

As he spoke, Chen Lin gripped the hilt of his knife.

He transmitted his voice, saying, "Third Sister, don't worry. I obtained a usable divine artifact from the City Lord's Treasury. It is very powerful and can even fight against a Crimson-Patterned Celestial God."

"The City Lord's Treasury?"

Hu San Niang looked at Chen Lin suspiciously.

"You went to the city lord's mansion and took things from the treasury?"

"good."

Chen Lin did not hide anything.

He transmitted his voice, saying, "Long Xingzhou was captured by that City Lord Niu. If I want to save him, I will naturally go to the City Lord's Mansion. I might as well go all the way and kill that City Lord Niu, and also plunder the treasure vault."

Hu San Niang fell silent.

It took a while before the transmission resumed.

"Has Lord Niu returned yet? How did you kill him? Besides being a divine messenger, he was also an eighth-level demon."

"Ah."

Chen Lin chuckled.

He said arrogantly, "Third Sister, you underestimate me. The divine messenger has killed more than one person. Now, even if I were to face the Black-Veined Heavenly God alone, I would still kill him without hesitation!"

Hu San Niang glanced at Chen Lin.

No more words were spoken.

Chen Lin knew the other party must be suspicious, but he couldn't tell them the truth and could only let them speculate.

The Soul-Chasing Bees are still sinking to the bottom of the valley.

After a full incense stick's time had passed, some strangely shaped, dilapidated buildings appeared in the black mist, and they landed at the bottom of the canyon.

White bees hovered in front of a boulder, constantly falling and flying up again.

Chen Lin went over to check.

There was a hole at the bottom of the boulder, from which black mist was constantly billowing out, preventing the Soul-Chasing Bees from flying in.

"It looks like it's down below."

Chen Lin put the Soul-Chasing Bee back into his pocket.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The situation down there is unclear. We should not go in. We should just stay outside and wait. If they come out, we will make our move. If they do not come out from here, we will abandon our plan."

"This is a good idea."

Long Xingzhou immediately chimed in.

Hu San Niang nodded, "This is indeed safer. Let's hide first, but be careful of the black fog here. Inhaling too much can cause poisoning."

The voice just fell.

The ground suddenly trembled.

Immediately following was a loud bang, and the ground collapsed instantly, forming countless cracks.

Black mist billowed out.

immediately.

A figure soared into the sky from the black mist, followed closely by a white light.
