I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chen Lin planned to kill Feng Qing first.

He had no grudge against the Feng family; it was all because they bullied him and dragged Yue Bingling's matter into his hands. Previously, because Bai Lingyu was there, they didn't dare to make a move.

But now I can't hold back anymore.

but.

The opponent has been exploring the nameless secret realm, and there is a high possibility that he possesses extraordinary treasures. This point should be taken into account, and he should not be regarded as just an ordinary first-level overlord.

Thinking about this...

Chen Lin picked up the medal on his wrist.

A thought crossed my mind.

When the energy of the green heart aperture is infused into it, the pattern on it appears, and it has four leaves, with even the fifth leaf faintly visible.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Originally, the medal could only manifest three leaves outside the secret realm, but now his soul power has greatly increased, and the power of the green heart aperture has also been enhanced, allowing it to exert its strongest effect.

With this item, we have an extra layer of security when dealing with the Feng family.

In the days that followed, Chen Lin secretly kept track of the whereabouts of the Feng family's experts, while also learning about the situation of other forces in the Northern Cold Realm.

Soon we received a message.

It seems that Ning Yu's Ning family obtained a rare treasure in the secret realm. The Feng family then used Yue Bingling's matter as an excuse to pressure the Ning family to hand over the treasure. The Ning family's strength was far inferior to that of the Feng family, so they dared not directly turn against them and could only swallow their anger and deal with them.

However, the Feng family was too powerful, and no other forces dared to help the Ning family, forcing the Ning family to retreat again and again.

According to rumors.

In recent years, the Feng family has secretly used various means to cause the death of more than a dozen experts of the Ning family who are at the True Realm or above, but the Ning family has kept it a secret to save face.

Chen Lin became even more certain that Ning Yu had sent him a message at Ning Changtian's behest, intending to use him to deal with the Feng family.

pity.

The Ning family is too hesitant in their actions. They want to unite with him but don't want to take the lead. He doesn't need such an ally. He might as well do it himself. In that case, all the treasures of the Feng family will belong to him alone.

"Master, there's news."

More than a month later, Leng Yue finally found out the information and came to report to Chen Lin.

"The Huang family of the Bone Condensation Realm obtained a rare treasure in the secret realm, which they had been hiding. Some time ago, they were forced to use it due to a calamity. After it was discovered, the news spread, attracting the covetousness of powerful figures from all sides. Feng Qing has already set off for it."

"The Bone Condensation Realm?"

This interface appeared in Chen Lin's mind.

The level is not low.

However, there is no supreme being among them; the highest level is quasi-sovereign. Therefore, the Huang family is guilty of possessing a treasure, and they certainly cannot keep that extraordinary artifact.

"Do you know what kind of extraordinary treasure it is?"

Chen Lin didn't rush off; instead, he gathered more detailed information.

"It is rumored to be a tangible treasure, a silver bell that can captivate people's souls and is extremely eerie."

"A tangible treasure?"

Chen Lin was somewhat surprised.

The treasures in the nameless secret realm, even the rare treasures, are mostly intangible things that can be brought out. Apart from himself, no one has been heard of bringing out tangible ones.

This Huang family is probably no ordinary family; they likely possess special inherited talents.

"I see."

Chen Lin nodded and dismissed Leng Yue.

I thought about it.

He called the blind woman over, and after discussing it for a while, the two left quietly.

The grass stayed behind to guard the courtyard.

With the power of the spatial aperture, Chen Lin has reached the point where he can come and go without a trace. Even ordinary rulers can only sense spatial fluctuations but cannot detect his whereabouts.

In his view, the so-called blockade by the Feng family was a joke.

Bone congealing boundary.

A void suddenly rippled, and two figures appeared.

It was Chen Lin and the blind girl.

"Master's spatial abilities have become stronger again."

The blind woman gave her evaluation.

Chen Lin nodded.

"It's alright. It's because of the Soul Removal. After the second Soul Removal, the origin of the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart has also been enhanced. It's a pity that there wasn't enough time, otherwise it could have evolved again."

"Especially the soul and the mind."

"I am now quite confident that I can undergo a third evolution. If successful, I will have nothing to fear from a mid-level Overlord."

"Oh, right."

Chen Lin looked at the blind woman.

"Now that my strength has improved a lot, I have some confidence. Is there anything I can help you with? If so, hurry up and tell me. Once the Trial of Ascension begins, it will be too late to ask."

"It used to be there, but it's gone now."

The blind woman shook her head slightly.

"why?"

Chen Lin had some guesses, but he continued to ask.

"I did want my master to help me find my way home, but after seeing that Night Owl, I knew that home could no longer exist."

"The existence that destroyed the Heart Realm can be suppressed even by a powerful figure like Ye Wangxiao. There is absolutely no chance for our clan to survive."

"and."

The blind woman's usually calm tone wavered.

It felt a little lonely.

"Even if I find it, so what? From childhood to adulthood, everyone has wanted to take advantage of my talent. Apart from my master, no one has ever truly cared about me."

"Sometimes I can't help but think that if I didn't have such a strong spiritual talent, I might have lived a better life."

"At least you can have happiness, even if it's short-lived, which is enough to make people yearn for it."

The blind woman slightly opened her eyes.

Looking at Chen Lin, he said, "Although Master is also using me, he still has a bit of sincerity from time to time. It is because of this that I am willing to stay by your side."

"hehe."

Chen Lin smiled.

He joked, "Looks like I've succeeded in being a good person. Your words make me proud."

"The master is indeed different from others."

The blind woman also smiled.

"You may not even realize it yourself, but the reason why so many people like to follow you is not entirely because they depend on the strong, but because you are very sincere to everyone."

"In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, this is especially valuable."

"okay."

Chen Lin waved his hand.

"Don't flatter me. I just have different views from others, I'm not that kind-hearted."

"Like right now."

"The only person in the Feng family I have a grudge against is Feng Qing, but once I take action, I will leave no one alive, and countless innocent people will die unjustly."

“They are different.”

The blind woman replied softly.

However, she did not argue further, closed her eyes again, and stood silently behind Chen Lin.

Chen Lin did not speak again.

He took out the positioning device to confirm the location, then broke through the void and led the blind girl straight to the Huang family's residence.

“Huang Tingyu, the Soul-Seizing Token is not something your family can control. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll give you one hour to hand it over, and I guarantee that everyone in your family will live.”

"If they remain stubborn and unyielding..."

"Then we'll have no choice but to completely wipe your Huang family out of this world!"

The Huang family's territory is a giant spiritual land, covering a mountain range of over ten thousand miles in radius, and is one of the top forces in the Bone Condensation Realm.

But now.

All the clansmen hid in fear inside the mountain gate, looking at the powerful figures around them with hatred in their eyes, yet they were helpless.

The Huang family patriarch's face was ashen.

He stood suspended in mid-air.

He swept his gaze over the faces looking down at him and said in a deep voice, "There is only one rare treasure, but there are so many of you. Whom should I give it to?"

"Humph."

A cold snort rang out.

"Don't use such low-level tactics to divide us, it won't work. Hand over the stuff first, and how we divide it is our business."

"In that case..."

The Huang family patriarch's expression shifted several times. He then reached out his hand.

He took out a silver bell about the size of a fist.

He scanned the powerful figure before him once more.

A flash of light appeared in his palm, enveloping the bell, and flew towards the gray-robed elder who had coldly snorted. "Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Zhao. I hope you keep your word and don't harm my people."

"Hahaha."

"rest assured……"

The gray-robed old man laughed heartily, and a slender chain materialized between his brows, coiling towards the bell. But before he could finish speaking, several more beams of light appeared.

They all rolled towards the bell.

"What are you doing!"

The old man in the gray robe was furious upon seeing this.

"Fellow Daoists, are you in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation? Leave the treasures with me first, and we'll decide who owns them when we get back!"

"hehe."

“We don’t trust your reputation, Zhao Qianming. I think it’s better to leave it with me.”

Someone immediately burst out laughing.

"Feng Qing!"

The gray-robed elder looked at the speaker, his tone gloomy, "You dare to compete with me? It would be more likely if your family patriarch were here. Don't force me to take action."

"Then go ahead and do it."

Feng Qing didn't care and gripped the bell with increasing force.

far away.

Chen Lin observed from the void.

Many people tried to steal the bell, but only two were at the Dominator Realm.

The gray-robed old man was at the second rank, while Feng Qing was at the first rank.

The others were also quite strong, but their cultivation level was definitely not at the Dominator level. Perhaps they hadn't originally set their sights on the rare treasures, but were waiting for the Huang family to be destroyed so they could then plunder other treasures.

But their methods are all quite effective.

Everyone who uses their supernatural powers can touch this invisible treasure, and they can even compete with the gray-robed elder for it.

"Humph!"

The situation remained deadlocked for a time.

The old man in the gray robe looked somewhat embarrassed.

He was a dignified second-tier ruler, yet he was stopped by some juniors. If word got out, he would be a laughing stock.

Thinking about this...

His expression hardened, and he opened his mouth, spitting out three beams of black light that attacked Feng Qing directly.

"Zhao Qianming, do you want to be an enemy of the Feng family...?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Qing's expression changed. He dared not compete for the treasure anymore, but instead withdrew his supernatural powers to defend against the black light's attack. The difference of one level between the Sovereign Realm and the Sovereign Realm is an insurmountable chasm. Although he had some trump cards, he dared not be careless.

far away.

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes.

They immediately sought to communicate telepathically with the blind woman and seize the opportunity to kill Feng Qing.

A rare opportunity.

If we act now, with the stealth of the Blind Girl's Heart Sword, we can not only kill Feng Qing, but also shift the blame to the Feng family, making them see Zhao Qianming as the murderer. In the chaos, he can better execute his plan.

However, before they could even make a move...

The space in the distance suddenly rippled, and a huge hand radiating terrifying pressure reached out from the void. With a gentle pat, the three black lights were dispersed.

then.

With a swift movement, the large hand grabbed the strange treasure and took it into its palm.

No one, including the old man in black robes, dared to move, letting the giant hand snatch the treasure away.

But just as the giant hand was about to retract into the void.

The bell suddenly rang.

"Ding-dong!"

It was crisp, brief, and melodious.

It's also... very attractive.

Even Chen Lin, who was hidden in the distance, was affected by the sound of the bell, as if his soul was about to float up and fall into the bell.

Naturally.

There was absolutely no thought of resistance.

But immediately.

Chen Lin then condensed his soul essence to eliminate the anomaly, and then his soul power surged to resolve the blind girl's abnormal state.

Although the situation was resolved very easily, he was still quite shocked.

To know.

He was a master of the Soul Dao who had undergone two Soul Releases. In terms of soul strength alone, even a sixth-order ruler might not be able to do anything to him, yet he was actually affected by such a treasure.

Moreover, he was not the primary target.

The user of this treasure is only an Eternal Cultivator!
powerful!
Chen Lin can be described in just one word.

Then I looked at that big hand.

This treasure is no less powerful than his medal, and may even be more powerful. Although the owner of this giant hand is strong, he may not be able to take it away easily.

The other powerful figures present probably aren't having an easy time either.

really.

After the bell rang.

The large hand trembled immediately, as if it were carrying a heavy burden, and could not move an inch for a long time.

The situation was even worse for powerful figures like Feng Qing.

They all stood frozen in place, their auras fluctuating violently, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if they were being pulled by something. Some of the weaker cultivators had their souls pulled out and thrown into the bell.

"How dare you!"

The old man in black robes was the first to break free from the strange phenomenon.

With a roar, he slammed his palm down, and a dark cloud descended upon the Huang family's territory. Before it even landed, some of the lower-level disciples exploded and died.

At this time.

Feng Qing also escaped the influence.

His gaze turned sinister, and with a flick of his wrist, a sword light shot out like the Grim Reaper's scythe, each flash claiming the life of a powerful member of the Huang family.

In the blink of an eye, most of them were killed.

The gap is too big.

The power of a sovereign is something that ordinary cultivators cannot contend with. Let alone making a move, just by not concealing his aura, even low-level cultivators would be annihilated.

If it weren't for the influence of the bell-shaped treasure, the two of them could have wiped out the entire Huang family with a mere wave of their hands.

"what!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the Huang family patriarch let out a beast-like roar. He used some secret technique, and his entire body, flesh, and soul instantly decayed, but he managed to activate the bell once again.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong!"

It rang three more times in a row.

This time the effect is even stronger.

As the three crisp sounds ended, the large hand could no longer grasp the bell, and it slipped through its fingers.

Feng Qing stood there, stunned once again.

Without the support of their master's energy, the dark clouds and the rampant sword light finally dissipated, leaving behind only a few members of the Huang family, their faces filled with despair.

"kill!"

The Huang family patriarch was on the verge of death, yet he unleashed boundless killing intent. His weakened aura suddenly surged, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the quasi-dominator level, releasing a powerful dominator aura.

Followed by.

His voice, filled with boundless hatred, rang out.

"Whoever can help me kill these two beasts, my Huang family is willing to offer up all our wealth and serve as their slaves for generations!"

"Keep your word."

Chen Lin suddenly appeared.

He reached out and gently touched Feng Qing with his finger.

He had been waiting for this moment all along, so that by making his move at the crucial instant, he could rightfully seize the treasure.

The concept of 'reason' is a joke when the weak face the strong, but it is extremely useful when the strength and background are similar.

If he is in the right, anyone who tries to rob him outright will have to consider the people behind him.

Just like how the Feng family found a plausible reason before taking action against him, saying he had stolen Feng Qing's Daoist partner, they didn't dare use baseless and domineering words. (End of this chapter)
