I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2231 Devastated
"How brave!"

Just as the blue light struck his forehead, the man in hemp clothing finally regained some rationality. He roared and his entire body seemed to be infused with some kind of energy, instantly expanding several times its original size.

His body was shrouded in black mist, from which countless fine runes emerged, suppressing his desires.

Simultaneously.

A disc pattern appeared between his eyebrows, spinning wildly like a windmill, with countless black runes erupting from the disc, blocking the blue light.

The man in hemp clothing breathed a sigh of relief.

His supernatural power came from the temple, and he could even withstand attacks from late-stage Cage Realm cultivators, so blocking this attack would be no problem.

I must torture this person properly later and show him my skills, otherwise he will lose face and never be able to hold his head up in Yuming City again.

He was secretly plotting his revenge.

The blue light intersected with the black runes, and the runes instantly dissipated, only slightly slowing down the blue light.

At this moment, the man in hemp clothing finally saw clearly.

This blue light was actually a dagger!
He was startled and immediately used his movement technique to dodge.

However, he was distracted and once again affected by the alluring aura emanating from the dagger, causing him to slow down his actions by half a beat.

A dagger pierced through his brow.

Consciousness plunged into darkness.

The process was thrilling, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until the man in hemp clothing was killed that Zhou Gongfeng, who was behind him, realized what had happened.

Without saying a word, he turned and ran.

"late!"

Chen Lin flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing a full-range attack with his Soul-Destroying Finger technique.

The eerie light blended with the darkness, making it invisible to the naked eye. Despite Zhou Gongfeng's desperate maneuvering, he was still struck, and a deathly stillness immediately arose from his body.

"Damn it!"

Knowing he had kicked a hornet's nest, Zhou Gongfeng abandoned his plan to escape, his face hardened, and he slammed his palm into his abdomen.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of dark blood spurted out.

At the same time, an oval sphere the size of a baby's fist was also ejected, and it arrived above Chen Lin's head in a flash.

"Buzzing..."

As the black spot inside the sphere rotates, black bees fly out one by one.

Each of them had a mysterious rune on their body, densely packed and continuously covering Chen Lin like raindrops.

"The Eye of Death, this is a treasure of the temple, Brother Yan, be careful!"

Bai Qingshui, who had led Zhao Meng into the courtyard, urgently reminded her.

But it was too late.

Before her voice had even faded, a dense swarm of black bees had already surrounded Chen Lin, leaving no gaps.

Bai Qingshui's eyes revealed despair.

She had witnessed the power of this treasure. If one could not avoid it before it formed an encirclement, there would be virtually no chance of resistance. No treasure could withstand the erosion of so many black bees.

It was with this treasure that Zhou Gongfeng secured a place for himself in Yuming City and slew powerful monsters.

Although he held no hope, Bai Qingshui did not run away.

She was tired of this world and didn't want to struggle anymore. Besides, with the man surnamed Zhou watching over her, she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

We can only accept the outcome.

"Good baby."

Chen Lin's calm voice rang out.

Then Bai Qingshui was shocked to discover that the black bees surrounding Chen Lin would fall off as if they were drunk as soon as they got close.

In an instant, the ground turned completely black.

Followed by.

Chen Lin waved at the floating eyeball.

Intricate, shimmering runes flew out, forming a large net that enveloped the eyeball, preventing it from escaping no matter how it struggled.

The talisman network rapidly contracts.

In the blink of an eye, the eyeballs were tightened and Chen Lin took them into his palm.

A slight tremor.

The original brand on the eyeball was forcibly shaken off and was no longer under Zhou Gongfeng's control. The black blades on the ground turned into runes and lined up to drill back into the eyeball.

"impossible!"

Zhou Gongfeng looked as if he had seen something unbelievable, pointing at Chen Lin and speechless for a long time.

Then, with another "whoosh," a large mouthful of black blood gushed out.

He withered away very quickly.

His body swayed and died in an instant.

“Sustaining life with material things will inevitably backfire. I’ve helped you find peace. Don’t forget to say thank you when you get to the underworld.” Chen Lin waved to retrieve his spoils and then casually killed the two unconscious men with thick eyebrows.

I strolled up to Bai Qingshui.

"Pack your things and come into town with me."

"Go into the city?"

Bai Qingshui's expression changed upon hearing this.

He hurriedly advised, "Sir, you are powerful, but you are still only at the Cage Realm. There are three Wheel Realm experts guarding the city, and you have killed a member of the clan of the eldest disciple of the Mountain Guardian King. It would be best to avoid the area for now."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lin remained unmoved.

This is not arrogance. With the protection of nine layers of armor, he can withstand the supernatural abilities of the Wheel Realm. When crossing the Dark Sea, he was able to retreat calmly from the attacks of Wheel Realm beasts by relying on this defensive sequence.

Now they've also mastered the Blue Enchantress.

With a combination of offense and defense, even if one still can't defeat a Wheel Realm expert, one can still hold out for a while.

Moreover, the three Wheel Realm experts in Yuming City are fighting their own battles, and are even in competition with each other. He is only targeting the Zhenshan King's faction to divide their forces, and the other two should be happy to see this happen.

"Ok."

Bai Qingshui hesitated for a moment, then told several disciples to clean up.

She continued to ask questions.

"Does Your Excellency intend to stay in Yuming City now that you've returned? Do you plan to stay in the inner city or the outer city?"

Bai Qingshui was still uneasy and continued to verify Chen Lin's confidence.

She thought Chen Lin just wanted to go into the city to buy up the mountain and rebuild his power. If she had known that Chen Lin planned to seize the territory of the Mountain King, she would not have dared to follow him no matter what.

"Of course, it's the inner city."

Chen Lin answered casually.

Then I started looking at the loot.

None of the four had any storage devices; they kept their belongings in their personal bags, which shows how rare storage treasures were.

I checked them one by one.

Chen Lin shook his head in disappointment.

It's not that there aren't any good items, but for him now, ordinary treasures are useless; only treasures with special rules can tempt him.

It has to be a high-level rule.

Otherwise, it's better to just use your own natal rune.

However, such treasures are even rarer than storage treasures, and are difficult for cultivators in the Cage Realm to possess.

After Chen Lin finished looking through everything, he put the other items together and casually put them into his storage bag, leaving only three items.

First is the Eye of Death.

This is a pretty good item. Although it's not very useful to him, its advantage lies in its ability to attack multiple targets at once, allowing for faster elimination of large groups of enemies.

Chen Lin imprinted his rune mark on the sphere.

Then a thought occurred to me.

The sphere vanished in a flash.

The next moment, it appeared a hundred feet away in the sky, and then flashed again, appearing about a thousand feet away.

Once you control the flight to fly further away, the sense of connection becomes very weak.

"Only a thousand feet away?"

Chen Lin was somewhat disappointed.

A thousand-foot attack range is barely enough for the Cage Realm.

However, his hypothetical enemy is the Wheel Realm, so it's not quite enough. His control range of only a few miles is not even enough for the Wheel Realm to make a single flash, making it rather useless.

But only he can use this thing.

A large portion of the treasures obtained from the temple are locked to the user; even if others obtain them, they are useless because the divine mark on them cannot be erased.

They are even less able to leave their own mark as individuals.

This treasure belongs to this category.

That is why Zhou Gongfeng was so shocked when he saw him remove the brand.

"The natal rune is indeed powerful."

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

This thing is of a very high level, so high that he is somewhat afraid and worried that he will not be able to control it.

But it still needs to be used.

Without this natal rune, he became an ordinary cage cultivator, and forget about completing his life's mission, even surviving was a luxury.

Put aside distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin put away the Eye of Death and continued to examine the other two items.
