I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2312 Unexpected Help

Chen Lin watched the small boat disappear.

Then he turned to Lan Menghan.

Lan Menghan slowly opened her eyes, her body swaying slightly, as if using this supernatural power was very difficult.

Where is Bai Qianjin?

Without asking any other questions, Chen Lin focused directly on the key points.

"Sent into the cycle of reincarnation."

Lan Menghan spoke slowly.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he waved to the Ant Guild Leader and the others.

"kill!"

After saying that, the crystal needle shot out, breaking through the enemy's array barrier, and led everyone to rush over.

Instead of targeting the supreme experts, they relied on the defense of the Ninefold Armor to attack the weapon refiners, formation masters, and other support personnel. Like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, they wiped out most of them in an instant.

"court death!"

Besides Bai Qianjin, there were many other Supreme-level experts in this group. They had been distracted by Bai Qianjin being taken away by the small boat, but now that they realized what had happened, they were furious.

Use all your strongest methods to fight back.

But they made a mistake.

More than a dozen supreme experts focused their attention on Chen Lin, but they failed to break through the nine layers of armor reinforced by the law characters. When they tried to turn around and protect the others, it was too late.

When powerful individuals at this level make a move, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

The remaining masters were also utterly crushed and almost completely wiped out; even the spirit boat was burned to ashes by Luo Qinglan.

"withdraw!"

Although the supreme expert was not killed, he lost his fighting spirit and scattered and fled after giving a shout.

This is exactly the result Chen Lin wanted.

Immediately launch a manhunt.

"waste!"

Upon seeing this, Wen Tingyu's expression turned ugly, and she couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Elder, please calm down."

Fu Tianxue immediately stepped forward.

“If these people weren’t afraid of death, they wouldn’t have allowed Elder Tianhu to plant the slave mark on them. However, Elder Tianhu hasn’t shown up yet, and we don’t know what he means by that. Should we help him?”

"Need not."

Wen Tingyu answered casually.

Seeing this, Fu Tianxue stopped talking.

Although he was of unusual status, he was not the master and had no access to information about the upper echelons of the manor. He did not know what agreement the manor and the Fisherman of Tianhu had made, and could only follow the other party's orders.

This delay...

Chen Lin and the others have returned and retreated back to the node.

Of the supreme experts who fled, only five escaped; the other nine were killed by their combined forces.

Two people stood out in this battle.

One of them was named Xiao Sihai.

This person was a rogue cultivator with no reputation, but he single-handedly killed a supreme expert with only three strikes. The supreme expert didn't even have a chance to fight back before his soul and body were destroyed.

There's another one named Jin Sheng.

He also single-handedly killed a supreme expert.

Speaking of which, Chen Lin had met the other party before; it was the golden figure he encountered at the ant gathering. The other party had posted a missing person task, looking for Sun Chuxue.

However, after discovering the flower-shaped birthmark on Sun Chuxue's chest, he did not relay the information to her.

I never expected this person to be so strong in combat.

The remaining seven supreme beings.

Chen Lin killed two by himself, Luo Qinglan killed one, the Ant Guild Leader killed two, and the rest of them joined forces to kill two more.

In this way...

The number of supreme experts under Tianhu Fisherman's command has been drastically reduced, leaving only about thirty, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings is also missing, making it much easier for them to cope.

But Chen Lin also knew that.

When the enemy comes again, we will go all out and will not give them the chance to defeat us one by one.

How are you?

Approaching Lan Menghan, Chen Lin asked with great anticipation.

The extent to which the opponent's strength increases directly affects their success or failure. Ideally, they should be able to break the boundary seal with their bare hands, then they can escape.

"Fortunately."

Lan Menghan shook out her clothes.

He gave Chen Lin a deep look, pursed his lips, and said, "You really are my destined one. You sensed it before, didn't you?"

Chen Lin did not respond.

Because he knew that it wasn't certain whether he was the other person's destined one.

And it's highly unlikely.

Because the face that appeared at the point of destiny said, 'If you change someone else's fate, you must bear the consequences.' If he is the person destined for that person, then there is no question of changing their fate.

He was able to remove the other person's mask entirely because the other person's fate had been changed.

The curse has been lifted.

Thinking of that face, Chen Lin felt heavy-hearted.

The other party is most likely the one who planted the curse on the Blue Jade Clan.

The fact that the other party could project into his talent domain shows that their strength is absolutely unfathomable. Although the other party said they would not hold it against him for the sake of Seven Star Spoon, it is not a good thing to be remembered by such a person.

You owe me a favor.

Chen Lin glanced at Lan Menghan and said with a gloomy expression.

Lan Menghan smiled.

"I told you, once you take off your mask, you'll be my destined one. From now on, we'll be inseparable, through thick and thin. I'm all yours now, what more do you need?"

"No need for the person, just repay the favor."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

Let's skip this topic.

He looked at the node and said, "Your curse has been lifted, and the supernatural power you gained seems very strong. Can you open the node directly?"

"That's impossible."

Lan Menghan immediately shook her head.

"A formation that can seal an entire realm—just think about how terrifying it is. Even a ruler-level expert couldn't break it, let alone me."

A brief pause.

She added, "Actually, the formation I mentioned can't break the node. The real tool to break the node is a treasure, but this treasure is too high-level and requires a formation to activate."

"What kind of treasure is it?"

Chen Lin frowned.

The fact that the other party only told him this now clearly showed a lack of trust in him, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Sensing Chen Lin's attitude, Lan Menghan immediately offered an explanation.

"My treasure can only be used once, and only I can use it. Telling you won't solve the problem. I'm not trying to hide it from you, but you should hurry up and gather the necessary materials."

"It will probably be difficult to gather all the materials."

Chen Lin frowned even more deeply.

He thought things would turn around after the other party revealed their true colors, but it seems he had too high expectations. Finding the materials for the formation is not something that can be done in a short time.

They can't say what other attacks they might face.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin asked again, "What is the maximum power that your small boat supernatural ability can reach?"

"No problem under the ruler."

Lan Menghan spoke proudly.

He immediately explained, "But I've only just mastered it, and there are still some shortcomings. I can only take one person with me at a time, and it takes a certain amount of time to recover energy after using it."

"for how long."

Chen Lin pointed directly to the key issue.

"About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Lan Menghan pondered for a moment before answering.

"Can this thing shorten your recovery time?"

Chen Lin took out a piece of colorful crystal.

A stick of incense is too long. High-level cultivators rarely fight for that long, meaning the opponent can only defeat one strong person in a single battle.

Three of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman remain. Given that he himself is preoccupied with dealing with the Heavenly Lake Fisherman's true form, these three pose a significant threat and must be eliminated quickly to have the resources to deal with the other supreme beings.

"The effect is not significant."

Lan Menghan was naturally familiar with variegated crystals and had used them many times, so she was very knowledgeable about their effects.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin still gave the other party a few pieces of money.

Even a small effect is still an effect; shortening the time by even a little is better than nothing.

He asked another question.

Seeing that there was no valuable information, he turned around and went to the ant leader.

He glanced at the golden figure behind the other person.

He asked directly, "Fellow Daoist, you haven't forgotten me, have you? Back then, you were searching for someone with a flower-shaped birthmark on their body. What was your reason for doing so?"

"Greetings, Alliance Leader."

Jin Sheng clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Then he tentatively asked, "Did the alliance leader encounter that person?"

"Ah."

Chen Lin nodded.

The Sun sisters were taken away by the Soulless Ancestor and their whereabouts are still unknown. He needs to find out what secrets Sun Chuxue has to know in order to understand the situation of the Soulless Ancestor.

The person in the Cloud Sea is the escaped soul of the Soulless Ancestor, and he is likely to come with the enemies behind him.

Understanding the Soulless Ancestor also helps one understand the other party.

Where is he/she?

Upon hearing Chen Lin's answer, Jin Sheng's eyes immediately lit up with a golden light.

Chen Lin looked at the other person.

"What's the use of telling you now? You can't go looking for her, can you? Tell me first what's so special about this person. If we survive, I can tell you the information."

Jin Sheng sighed softly.

"The leader is right. In the current situation, preserving our lives is the most important thing."

"As for why I'm looking for that person..."

He paused briefly.

He continued, "It's because I obtained a notebook that says there is a person in this world with a flower-shaped birthmark on their body. This birthmark is actually the key to a certain secret place where those who enter can obtain primordial power."

"So that's how it is."

This answer immediately killed Chen Lin's interest.

He already possesses the Soul Master's inheritance, making it impossible for him to obtain any other primordial power. Even if there is a Primordial Stele in that secret place, it would be meaningless to him.

I didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Lin turned to the Ant Leader to continue discussing the next steps.

He transmitted his voice, saying, "I'm afraid Your Majesty Dai Dai Dong alone won't be able to gather all the necessary materials. Should we send more people out?"

"It's not very meaningful."

The ant leader also replied telepathically.

“Those supreme experts seem to have escaped, but they are probably still watching from a distance. Unless a few of us personally go out, no matter how many of us go out, we will not be able to leave alive.”

"besides."

He glanced at the crowd.

"Given the current situation, even if these people manage to leave, they probably won't come back."

Chen Lin fell silent.

This was not the outcome he wanted. He hadn't expected that Lan Menghan would need the support of an array to break the seal, and he hadn't collected the materials in advance.

It's inevitable that cultivators will harbor resentment.

"but……"

The ant leader then changed the subject again.

Looking at the boundary river wall, he said, "If all else fails, we can retreat into the boundary river. I have a boundary-breaking talisman that might be able to forcibly open a passage."

"Within the boundary river, there is a suppression of the power of rules, making it impossible to use the power of a ruler, which can increase the chances of self-preservation."

"However, this way..."

"This node is definitely not going to be saved, and it will be even more difficult to leave the realm."

Chen Lin fell silent again.

Others may have a chance to avoid it, but he will not.

If this attempt fails, then the Old Fisherman of Tianhu will surely come in person after returning from the Dao-listening Assembly. At that time, his status and strength will skyrocket, and no one will be able to help him.

Therefore, he believed that he would either succeed or die trying.

The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more anxious he became. He could only force himself to suppress it and weigh whether or not to take a gamble on his life's journey.

suddenly.

He was taken aback.

He immediately nodded to the ant leader and flew back to Lan Menghan's side.

"Protect me."

After giving Lan Menghan some instructions, Chen Lin condensed his true soul body and entered the Fruit Core Cave.

Then I saw a woman in white standing there.

"It's you?"

Chen Lin looked surprised and suspicious.

Because the Fruit Pit Cave Heaven was not as high-level as the Cave Heaven Jade Pendant, he transferred Chen Ling'er and the others to the Cave Heaven Jade Pendant halfway through, leaving no one in this cave heaven.

Therefore, I only checked immediately after sensing the life fluctuations.

Unexpectedly, someone actually appeared, someone he never thought of at all.

Peach Blossom Fairy!

"What, are you surprised?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy spoke calmly.

"I am a member of the Eight Trees and also have the status of an inspector. It is perfectly normal for me to be able to enter this Xuan Kong Fruit Core."

Chen Lin's expression kept changing.

This core space is completely undefended. It seems that the higher-ups of the Eight Trees can come in at will. Does that mean that everything he did before was under someone else's surveillance?

"Don't worry."

The Peach Blossom Fairy looked around at the fruit trees.

"Only the Inspector can patrol such ordinary caves, and they cannot monitor them in real time. You don't need to worry about your privacy being leaked. Of course, it's best not to leave important things here."

I gave an explanation.

She walked up to a peach tree and touched the peach blossoms.

She spoke softly, "The one who used the Fate Talisman before was the Peach Spirit you obtained at the auction, right? You seemed to have given it a name, Red Dust, didn't you?"

Chen Lin nodded.

"What the fairy said is correct, it is that peach spirit. I must thank the fairy for being so generous in putting such a high-level peach spirit at the auction, allowing me to make such a good friend."

The peach blossom fairy's lips twitched.

She rolled her eyes at Chen Lin.

"Alright, don't try to trap me. I am from a branch of the True Peach Clan. How could I possibly sell out my main clan? That Peach Spirit can't be the True Peach Clan either. Something must have happened to cause her to exhibit signs of bloodline reversion."

"I don't want to know the reason."

"I'm just telling you one thing: you must ensure her safety. If anything happens to her, no one in the entire cultivation world can protect you. With the ancestor's descendants dwindling, every True Fate Peach will receive his personal protection."

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat.

He immediately asked, "Senior Tao Zu is so... does she have kinship? Will my contract with Hong Chen have any impact on that?"

"do not know."

The Peach Blossom Fairy gently shook her head.

He immediately explained, "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. As for whether you will be punished, it depends on the ancestor's attitude. I came here not to help you, but to help Hongchen."

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly.

A fragrant ray of light fell on the peach tree beside them.

The peach blossoms above are blooming rapidly.

Then most of the petals fall off, leaving only three to bear fruit, which grow at a visible rate.

After a dozen or so breaths, the three peaches were fully ripe.

The Peach Blossom Fairy's aura was extremely weak.

"These three peaches are transformed from the source of the Peach Sea through my connection with the source of the source. Each one can replenish the energy of the mortal world in a short time. Make good use of them. This is all I can do to help."

Before he could finish speaking...

The person then disappeared.
