I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2247 Enemies meet
"Xiong Ziqi?"

The more Chen Lin looked at the black bear, the more he felt that it resembled the magistrate of Zhiwu County in the Nightmare Realm back in the Heavenly Cang Realm, so he couldn't help but ask a probing question.

The black bear, which was about to launch another attack, paused.

Two giant eyes looked at Chen Lin, scrutinizing him from head to toe several times, their gazes shifting slightly.

He shrieked, "Who are you?"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

The other party's response is tantamount to an admission.

Moreover, judging from the other party's voice, it seems to have changed gender and become a female bear.

This also indicates that they are people who experience life.

After a moment's thought.

He transmitted his voice, "I'm from Zhiwu County. I didn't expect you to still be alive, but what are you doing here?"

The big black bear remained silent for a while.

It was also changed to transmit sound.

"I guessed who you were. Thank you for your help back then, but we are probably on opposing sides now. I can't acknowledge you, so I can only give you a chance. Go now."

"I have no faction."

Chen Lin replied.

He then asked, "Judging from your appearance, you seem to have been corrupted by the eerie aura and belong to the second camp. So, are you a life experience participant or a monster that has invaded with the eerie kingdom?"

"Both."

Xiong Ziqi answered in a deep voice.

"I am a life experience participant. Not long after entering this place, darkness descended. I was trapped in the temple and then corrupted by the dark aura, which caused me to lose control of the Nightmare Realm aura within me, and I turned back into the form of a black bear."

Why were we trapped after entering the temple?

Chen Lin immediately inquired.

This was something that had always puzzled him.

If everyone who experiences life is trapped after entering the temple, then why are Dugu Batian and Hua Yi unaffected? If there are other reasons, then it is even more necessary to find out.

“Those who have experienced life in the Twin-Headed Temple will find it very difficult to come out again, especially those of us who have been assimilated by the rules of the Nightmare Realm.”

Xiong Ziqi answered in a hoarse voice.

He then urged, "You'd better leave quickly. This city is one of the key targets for inspection. Once the royal envoy arrives, you won't have a chance to leave."

"The royal envoy?"

Chen Lin did not move, but continued to press for answers.

He glanced at the snowstorm not far away and signaled to the other party not to make a move.

"The royal envoy is Lord Li Fuyao. All living beings in the second camp are now under Lord Li's command."

replied.

Xiong Ziqi urged him again.

“I know you and Lord Li are at odds, but considering that you saved my life back then, even if it means being punished, I will give you a chance to escape.”

Chen Lin was startled.

He frowned and said, "Li Fuyao is here. What is her cultivation level now? Why would you submit to her?"

He and Li Fuyao are old rivals.

I've crossed paths with him several times, but I haven't been able to kill him. I thought that after so much time, we wouldn't have any more contact, but I never expected to run into him here.

"Lord Li is the envoy appointed by the Dark King and is in charge of all matters in this realm. His specific cultivation level is unknown, but he can kill a Wheel Realm expert with ease."

Xiong Ziqi's tone was low.

"I don't want to submit, but I have no choice."

Chen Lin's expression turned serious.

He could easily kill someone at the Wheel Realm, so his strength was already among the top in this world.

He's probably no match for him.

Moreover, Xiong Ziqi was probably not lying.

Since the other party could fight Feng Xue to a standstill, Li Fuyao, as the royal envoy, must be even stronger. Either his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Wheel Realm, or he possesses a powerful and mysterious treasure.

"go!"

Chen Lin called out to Feng Xue.

It's unwise to confront them head-on; it's better to avoid direct confrontation for now.

of course.

He wasn't abandoning Yuming City; rather, he wanted to rely on the city's protective formation to try and fight back against the enemy.

If not.

He then led the core members of the Kaiyuan Sect into the secret realm. As for the other cultivators in the city, he had limited energy and could only hope for the best.

However, Li Fuyao probably won't carry out a large-scale massacre.

The Dark King's invasion of this world did not require slaughter; otherwise, he would have wiped it all out long ago.

"Why rush off when we meet acquaintances? Let's stay and catch up. It's been so many years since we last met, and I've missed Brother Chen terribly!"

Just as Chen Lin was about to fly into the city, a familiar voice rang out.

Followed by.

A woman in a green dress appeared.

Chen Lin's eyelids twitched.

It was Li Fuyao who arrived, and she exuded an extremely powerful aura, giving him a strong sense of danger.

Sure enough, the other party was there and recognized him.

See this.

Chen Lin also gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

He calmly cupped his hands and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Li. How have you been?"

Simultaneously, the sound of flying snow was transmitted.

"Sect Master Feng, do not be careless. This person is the messenger of the being that caused the darkness to descend. His strength is unfathomable. If a fight breaks out later, we must go all out, otherwise none of us will survive."

There was a pause.

He then released his spiritual thoughts.

Find Bai Qingshui, who is looking out at the city gate.

He instructed, "Go find Xiao Jinxia and tell her that a powerful enemy has come to our door, and there's no way to avoid it."

Although Lonely Overlord's current identity is only at the Cage Realm, he is still a Dominator-level being and must have some trump cards up his sleeve. We can't let him hide in the background.

That concludes the explanation.

Chen Lin looked at Li Fuyao.

The other person's appearance hadn't changed at all; she was still that lively young girl and still liked to wear green dresses.

But the aura emanating from him was completely different from before.

It exudes a distinctly eerie feeling, similar to those powerful monsters, yet clearly different; it's unclear what secret technique it has cultivated.

However, the other party's appearance clarified one thing.

The reason for the darkness descending upon this world is the work of that Dark King, presumably also in order to seize that unknown treasure.

Think of this.

Chen Lin's mood was extremely heavy.

According to the rules of the Mysterious Kingdom, the shorter the title, the stronger the power. This Shadow King title has two characters, placing it in the second tier after the Nightmare King, so it must be incredibly powerful.

He wanted to dispel the darkness and restore the light, but that was no easy task.

Chen Lin remained silent.

Li Fuyao's smile vanished.

He said calmly, "It's true what they say, you never know where you'll meet someone in life. I was thinking of going to find Brother Chen to catch up after I got out of here, but I didn't expect that fate would be on my side and I wouldn't have to travel around anymore."

talking.

Li Fuyao reached into her sleeve and took out a seven-colored arrow.

He gently stroked it and said, "Brother Chen is the one destined for me. I should treat you with the finest treasures. This arrow was a gift from the King, and I have never been willing to use it. Let it send you on your way!"

The words fell.

A murderous aura emanated from Li Fuyao.

A flick of the wrist.

The seven-colored light slowly moved towards Chen Lin.

Once this arrow was fired...

The world seemed to be frozen in time, and everything within a hundred miles was affected, becoming still and lifeless, unlike the real world, but rather like a painting.

Even Li Fuyao herself was affected by the rules and could not move an inch.

Only the arrow.

Like a painter's brush, it outlines rainbow lines, moving forward little by little.

Chen Lin's eyes were vacant.

As the seven-colored arrow shone brightly, an invisible force enveloped him, and he immediately felt his thinking become extremely slow, taking several beats longer to process anything.

Fortunately, he had his natal rune, so he didn't actually lose consciousness.

But even so.

They could only watch helplessly as the arrows drew closer and closer.

Because his body is more limited than his mind, it takes him more than ten breaths to move even a finger, so there is no possibility of dodging.

Li Fuyao's lips curled up even more.

His eyes revealed an unparalleled sense of joy.

Since she came into contact with Chen Lin, she has been constantly restrained, which has cast a shadow over her heart. If she cannot kill this person, she will find it difficult to achieve anything on her path of cultivation.

So the moment she recognized Chen Lin, she didn't ask any questions and immediately pulled out her strongest trump card to prevent him from escaping. The arrows were getting closer and closer.

Three feet.

One foot.

one foot.

Just at the critical moment.

A barely perceptible grayish-white light flashed.

In a flash.

It was right in front of the arrowhead.

When the two met, the gray-white light disappeared first, then flew out again from the tail of the arrow, while the seven-colored arrow seemed to have lost its energy, no longer moving forward, but falling to the ground.

at the same time.

The space-locking effect has been eliminated.

No one is anymore affected by abilities.

Those with lower cultivation levels didn't even know what had happened; they only felt that they had been distracted for a moment. Only powerful beings could detect the anomaly, and they were all terrified.

Chen Lin has also returned to normal.

A thought came to my mind.

First, retract the crystal needle, then hold the iridescent crystal in your hand and frantically absorb its energy.

He did not press his advantage.

Because of that last burst, the energy of the natal rune was depleted, and it could no longer be used.

Other methods are unlikely to threaten the other party.

"Xiong Ziqi, Lu Feng, Yang Shaoyan, kill them all! Massacre the city, leave no one alive!"

Li Fuyao retrieved the seven-colored arrow and saw a small hole on it. The arrow had lost its spirit. He was immediately shocked and angry, and he sternly ordered Xiong Ziqi to stop.

Xiong Ziqi's expression changed several times.

Instead of attacking Chen Lin, they continued to seek out Feng Xue.

But the other party was not alone.

As Li Fuyao's voice fell, two more figures appeared behind her, both radiating terrifying pressure, and pounced on Chen Lin like ghosts.

Chen Lin's rune power has not fully recovered, so he can only use Soul-Destroying Finger to deal with the two.

However, the Soul-Destroying Finger is the nemesis of strange creatures, so the two dared not be careless and could not do anything to him for a while.

"waste!"

Li Fuyao roared angrily.

A radiant light flowed between his brows, revealing a colorful sphere. As this pattern appeared, ripples spread through the surrounding space, emanating a strong aura of spatial order.

Affected by this aura, Chen Lin and Feng Xue's movements slowed down, as if they were sinking into a swamp.

"wind!"

The wind and snow gave a low growl.

Wind blades surged around him, spinning like scissors and severing the spatial patterns that approached.

But it's no use.

Cut one off and two more appear; the more you cut, the more there are, seemingly endless.

Xiong Ziqi, however, was unaffected.

Its black fur could gather or scatter unpredictably, and every strike left the wind and snow flustered.

"Snow!"

A white coat fluttered wildly in the wind and snow.

She radiated a pure white glow, exuding an indescribable aura.

Followed by.

A flawless flower flew out from between her brows, and as it spun, its petals rose one by one, turning into countless snowflakes that drifted and caused the temperature on the battlefield to plummet.

This low temperature is different from normal conditions.

It instantly froze everything.

Including the spatial lines that Li Fuyao creates.

Frost appeared on everyone's body, including Chen Lin, but his rune energy had recovered considerably and was able to resist the erosion of the rules.

"die!"

He seized the opportunity to strike, letting out a low shout as he unleashed the Blue Enchantress.

There was a flash of blue light.

One of the two attackers was decapitated.

However, no blood spurted out; instead, a layer of ice crystals formed at the break, and the broken piece fell to the ground with two soft thuds.

"This is impossible!"

Li Fuyao let out an incredulous scream.

Reach out.

Take out a pitch-black wine glass.

A gentle shake.

A terrifying devouring force emanated from the cup, swallowing up all the drifting snowflakes.

The temperature has returned to normal.

Seemingly due to excessive exertion, Feng Xue swayed twice, and her face turned pale.

A hint of hesitation flashed deep in Xiong Ziqi's eyes.

Instead of seizing the opportunity to attack, he flashed away and retreated to Li Fuyao's side.

He shouted loudly, "Adults, please be careful!"

Li Fuyao glanced at Xiong Ziqi.

He sneered and said, "Xiong Ziqi, don't forget your place. Can you bear the consequences of betraying the king?"

Xiong Ziqi's body trembled.

Before he could say anything more about the painting, Li Fuyao took out a black token and waved it gently at him.

"what!"

A scream sounded.

Black smoke billowed from Xiong Ziqi's body, and he convulsed uncontrollably. When he finally stopped, his eyes lost their luster and became dull and lifeless.

Like a walking corpse.

Chen Lin and Feng Xue exchanged a glance.

His figure slowly retreated.

Li Fuyao possessed an endless array of treasures. Although he killed one of the enemy's men, both of them were at their limit and could only retreat back into the city to defend themselves with the help of the city's protective formation.

"I want to run, it's too late!"

Li Fuyao sneered.

Then she waved the token again.

As the space trembled, more than a dozen figures appeared, each radiating a powerful aura. They automatically formed a formation, surrounding Chen Lin and his companion.

Chen Lin's heart sank.

It is clear.

These are all experts from the second tier, each comparable to the Wheel Realm. No matter how much he and Feng Xue unleash their power, they cannot stop them.

"So, am I going to take action, or will you take your own life?"

Li Fuyao regained her composure.

He gently toyed with the token in his hand, watching Chen Lin like a cat playing with a mouse.

Chen Lin remained silent.

He secretly transmitted his voice to Feng Xue, "Catch me later, and I'll take you out of here. As long as we can enter the secret realm, we'll be safe for now."

You can't beat him.

They could only rely on the super strong defense of the Nine-Layer Armor to see if they could make it to the underground treasure vault.

"hehe."

Chen Lin was about to fight desperately.

A soft laugh rang out in the distance.

Then several figures shot over and arrived in an instant, all exuding a terrifying aura.

The leader was a black cat.

After the black cat stopped, it stretched in a human-like manner and clicked its tongue twice as it looked at Li Fuyao.

"This young lady has such a murderous aura. This is not a good thing. As a woman, you should be more gentle, otherwise your mind will become twisted."

"Or we could have one child."

"Only with attachments can you truly understand the meaning of life, and leaving offspring will deepen your presence in this world, which is very important."

He finished speaking slowly.

The black cat looked around.

He pointed at Chen Lin with his claw.

"Go for him, I think he's a good guy. You can have a child with him, and I guarantee you won't regret it."

The words fell.

Chen Lin then felt something being drawn out of his body.

Followed by.

Li Fuyao's abdomen bulged at a visible speed.

And then he started gagging!
