Seeking the Immortal Way

Lin Yan nodded and clasped his hands together in farewell. After walking very far away, he turned around and saw that Du Mingcheng was still standing beside the Hundred Miles Pavilion, waving his hands.

They bowed towards Du Mingcheng and continued on their journey. The road was long and stretched out into the distance and was filled with danger along the way. They did not know if the end of the road was good or bad, or sad or happy …

After bidding farewell to Du Mingcheng, Lin Yan and his group continued to chat and laugh as they walked towards the direction of the Five Yuan Mountain.

Long Fei asked Lin Yan: "After all the things that happened in Yongjia City, I feel that my cultivation is still very low. I can hide dangers everywhere, so how far away is Five Yuan Mountain? I miss the life of the sect a little now. "

Zhu Zimo laughed and said: "This is also a normal phenomenon, as the saying goes, everything at home is good, and going out is difficult. So from what you can calculate, the time we have spent in Sky Cloud Martial Sect is not short, so, to us, this Sky Cloud Martial Sect is like our home, although there are some scheming and scheming, compared to the danger of the martial arts world, it is nothing."

Lin Yan opened the map in his hands and spoke to the rest of the people: "We are already halfway there, and not long later, we will be passing through a place called Ningshui City. He remembered reading about this city in a local journal in the Scripture Pavilion: This city is not big, but it is a very bustling place, and eat everything, going through the north and south, many merchants and juniors have come here to trade, so the construction of this Ningshui City is considered to be a treasured location on the Profound Sky Continent."

Long Fei chuckled and nodded. "Alright, since that's the case, then let's hurry on our way. There must be a lot of delicious food in such a bustling place."

Xiao Yuexin's eyes were also filled with yearning, as she smiled and said: "So that means, this place must have a lot of nice looking clothes, at that time, I must take a good stroll around."

Zhu Zimo smiled and shook his head: "What I am most interested in are some medicinal ingredients and ingredients, if there are really cheap medicinal ingredients, I can buy some to bring back. Even if I am unable to refine them into Pills, I can at least sell them at a good price in the sect's underground market."

Lin Yan nodded his head, and laughed: "Don't worry, Ningshui City will have all the things you guys want, there is no time to delay this matter, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go."

With yearning in their hearts, the four of them sped up their footwork and walked towards the Ningshui City, talking and laughing.

Roughly two hours later, everyone passed through a forest and saw the city in front of them. However, they did not see clear mountains and clear water, the sounds of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers, but instead saw scorched earth. There were pits of various sizes on the ground, and even some burnt spirit beast corpses.

There were scratches everywhere on the tall city wall, some of them had already collapsed. Many artisans were using various tools to start the renovation. They moved quickly, looking anxious, as if they were worried about something and rushed to finish the work.

The city gates were wide open, and the guards were clad in armor, holding onto long spears in their hands. Some of them were standing on top of the city walls, looking out into the distance, all of them nervous, as if they were about to fight a great enemy.

Seeing this scene, Long Fei couldn't help but frown and ask Lin Yan: "This is the Ningshui City you were talking about earlier? "From the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be a place where merchants gather. It seems to be more like a military fortress, a place where all the troops fight for it."

Zhu Zimo also frowned: "It seems like we just experienced a big battle here, it's filled with holes and holes. Look at the guards, they seem to have suffered heavy losses, looking at their nervous expressions, it seems that this battle is not over yet, but there's still another wave of attacks."

This was the first time Xiao Yuexin had seen this kind of scene. She glanced at the several charred corpses of spirit beast s on the ground, then bit her lower lip with her teeth.

Lin Yan was also very suspicious in his heart. He operated the Purple Void Pupil Skill, and looked towards the city wall, especially at the scratches on the city wall. After thinking for a moment, he said to everyone: "Maybe a battle just happened here and many people were injured."

After all, this was the only road to Five Yuan Mountain. If he wanted to go around it, he would probably need more than ten days.

The four of them walked in the direction of the Ningshui City in front of them. In front of the city gate, Lin Yan raised his head and looked at the signboard, which indeed had the three words "Ningshui City" written on it.

Many people had already been displaced and were passing by. Most of them were wounded, and the white gauze was stained with blood. From all of these, it seemed that this war was indeed going to be very tragic.

From afar, he saw an armored man walking over, and it seemed like he was one of the Ningshui City's guards. He was tall, with a broad waist and sharp eyebrows, he had a black steel beard and bright eyes.

The armor on his back had been completely torn, and the wound on his back could clearly be seen. It was extremely shocking, as if it was a wound left behind by some spirit beast that had just scabbed over.

Long Fei looked around and spoke to Lin Yan: "Looks like this is a land of war. Are we really going to stay here tonight?"

Lin Yan raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun was setting in the west and a flaming cloud was floating in the distance.

Turning his head, Lin Yan said to Long Fei: "It's too dark, it seems that we have no choice but to settle down here tonight. From the looks of it, a group of spirit beast attacked this place, even if we leave this place now and sleep in the wilderness, it would not be safe."

Xiao Yuexin was a little nervous, she looked around and said to Lin Yan: "But, these people are all injured, do you think it will be dangerous for us to settle down here?"

Lin Yan sighed, and said faintly: There are some things that cannot be avoided. If I leave the city, in the pitch black night, it will be even more dangerous.

After looking around at his surroundings briefly, Lin Yan secretly operated his Purple Void Pupil Skill and quickly found a restaurant.

It was a four-storey building, but there were also some broken walls, so it could be considered to be relatively intact. On the door was a horizontal signboard with a black gold character, and on it was a welcome tower.
