Chapter 1243 Escape Order
Xiao Lin waved his hand slightly, and the star ring of the old man in green robe turned into a ray of light and shot into Xiao Lin's hand.
Xiao Lin's figure flashed hundreds of feet away, and then he picked up a star ring with blood on it from a pile of rocks.
A flash of light flashed on Xiao Lin's hand, and the blood on it disappeared silently.
After putting away the star ring that killed two people, Xiao Lin returned to the Dihuo River, and Bai Ling had already come to Xiao Lin's side, with blood stains on the corners of her mouth.
"Thanks to Brother Xiao this time, otherwise Bai Ling's life would have been explained here." Bai Ling's pretty face was a little lonely. Thinking about the first time she saw Xiao Lin, his realm was the same as hers. Now, only more than a hundred years later, her combat power is already far behind Xiao Lin.
Moreover, Xiao Lin killed two Void Refining Realm cultivators by himself. Even if this amazing fighting power was told to others, few people would believe it. Moreover, Bai Ling knew very well that Xiao Lin had just advanced to Void Refining Realm. Logically, he was far inferior to those veteran Void Refining Realm cultivators.
It can be said that Xiao Lin's performance completely broke Bai Ling's cognition, making her admire Xiao Lin from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, Bai Ling was secretly glad that she had found a strong teammate, otherwise she would not even be able to enter the inner city of the ruined city.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin waved his hand and smiled, "Fairy Bai, you are too polite. Let's cross the river first."
After Bai Ling nodded in agreement, the two came to the side of the Earth Fire River and watched the rolling magma rising dozens of feet from time to time, with waves of heat and cold constantly coming.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he waved his sleeves, and dense Qingluan Ice Swords flew out one after another, one after another, and actually built a bridge over the Earth Fire River that was dozens of feet wide.
With the sound of "Puff~", a green flame began to burn under the Qingluan Ice Sword, which was the Yugui Ice Flame that Xiao Lin practiced.
An extremely cold air immediately suppressed the heat in the Earth Fire River, and even the magma that was constantly rising was calmed down.
"Let's go." Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and a large area of dark green spiritual light enveloped the two of them, and in addition to the dark green spiritual light, there was also a green flame burning.
Bai Ling only felt the temperature around her drop sharply. The next moment, her body floated up involuntarily, following Xiao Lin, sticking to the Qingluan Ice Sword, and flew towards the other side.
When the two flew to the center of the Earth Fire River, a low roar suddenly came from the Earth Fire River.
Then the entire magma surface began to rise, and a huge figure loomed from the magma.
"Ferocious beast." Bai Ling was frightened when she saw this. The two were on the Earth Fire River, and there was a no-fly ban in the air, and below was the magma containing the Earth Lung Divine Flame. Once the two fell into the magma, even if Xiao Lin practiced the mysterious cold flame magic, he would not be able to resist the endless Earth Lung Divine Flame.
"Don't panic." Xiao Lin's voice rang in Bai Ling's ears, and the Qingluan Ice Swords behind Xiao Lin and the others floated up one after another, shining brightly, and the blazing Yugui Ice Flame instantly spread out.
As Xiao Lin pointed from a distance, the large piece of cold flame fell directly towards the magma. When the magma touched the Yugui Ice Flame, a large piece of white mist immediately erupted, and the magma actually began to turn black and solidified instantly.
"Congeal~~" Xiao Lin suddenly shouted, and the mana in his body surged out without cost. With him as the center, the surrounding area within a dozen feet was covered by the jade scepter ice flame. As Xiao Lin pressed his hands down, a large area of jade scepter ice flame immediately pressed towards the magma below.
The huge body that was about to be revealed was immediately blocked by the solidified magma, and a large area of magma began to turn black and solidify.
Taking advantage of this short time, Xiao Lin and Bai Ling flew over the Earth Fire River in a flash. As soon as their feet stepped on the ground, a loud "boom" sounded in the Earth Fire River, accompanied by a roar, and a fierce beast shaped like an octopus emerged from the magma, with three huge eyes staring at Xiao Lin and the others.
"Let's go." Xiao Lin did not intend to pay attention to the fierce beast, but flew straight towards the middle city.
The beast did not chase after him. After stirring the magma for a while, it slowly sank into the magma and disappeared without a trace.
"That beast should be the legendary Fire-Splitting Octopus Beast. I heard that the beast still contains the blood of ancient immortals and can control the earth veins and divine fire. When it reaches adulthood, it can even control the earth lung divine fire. Its strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the fusion realm." Bai Ling took a deep breath, looking like he was still alive.
Xiao Lin nodded. In fact, Xiao Lin had already discovered the existence of this beast. It had been hiding in the magma just to wait for an opportunity to attack. Xiao Lin had already known it in his heart, so he would not be fooled.
After the two crossed the Earth Fire River, even if they entered the middle city, according to Bai Ling, the middle city was much more dangerous than the outer city. The two flew towards the inner city carefully.
After passing through a large area of ruins, Xiao Lin and the others saw countless dry bones scattered on the streets. Very few of these dry bones were intact. It was obvious that they had encountered extremely powerful impacts when they were alive, which broke their bones and tendons.
There are also some powerful immortal cultivators among them. The skeletons of immortal cultivators are much tighter than those of ordinary mortals, and usually emit a bright spiritual light. Of course, these dry bones in front of us have lost their spirituality after being washed away by endless years. What remains are just scattered on the ground like weathered stones.
"Let's go get the Escape Order now."
There is an insurmountable chasm between the middle city and the inner city. Only by getting an Escape Order can we pass this chasm. Otherwise, we can only look for some remaining materials and magic weapons left behind in the war in the middle city.
However, the treasures in the middle city have become extremely rare after countless years of searches by immortal cultivators, and they are hidden more secretly. If you want to find them, you also need some luck.
"The Duntian Order is located in the Baxiang Hall. The Baxiang Hall is in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, which are Qian 6, Dui 7, Li 9, Zhen 3, Xun 4, Kan 1, Gen 8, and Kun 2. There are eight halls in total. There is a Duntian Order in each hall. One Duntian Order can bring three people into the inner city. In other words, every time the Tiandu Secret Realm is opened, only a maximum of 24 people can enter the inner city." Bai Ling obviously did her homework and talked freely.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, and then said: "According to the direction, we should be close to the Dui 7 and Li 9 Halls. Let's go there quickly, otherwise if someone else gets there first, it will be difficult to snatch it from them."
After the two of them finished talking, they found a good direction and flew forward.
About half an hour later, a towering hall appeared in front of the two of them, and in the distance, a hall could be vaguely seen standing.
"This should be the Dui 7 Hall." Xiao Lin's consciousness spread out, but soon his face showed a surprised expression.
"This central city actually has a ban to block the divine consciousness." It turned out that Xiao Lin's divine consciousness had only spread out for a few hundred feet when he felt a huge damping force coming from a distance, preventing his divine consciousness from moving forward any further.
"This ruined city was extremely prosperous in ancient times. Even the legendary holy bone land was formed in that war, but the strange thing is that everything in this city was destroyed, except for the ban in the city. Although countless years have passed, it is still very powerful." Bai Ling said with some confusion.
After a while, the two came to the Dui Qi Hall. They saw that the hall was a hundred feet high and grayish white. The gate was three feet high and bronze. It was engraved with ancient spiritual patterns, exuding a strong and heavy, ancient atmosphere.
When the two came to the door, Xiao Lin stretched out his left hand, and the mana surged, turning into a great force to push the bronze door open.
"Clang clang~~" The door opened, and dust flew all over the sky.
Xiao Lin and Bai Ling looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes. Obviously, no one had entered the Dui Qi Hall yet, which meant that the Duntian Order should still be there.
Xiao Lin was the first to walk into the hall. The hall was very dark, and in the center of the hall was an ancient copper altar, covering a radius of ten feet, and above the altar was a ball of gray spiritual light, which kept flashing.
Xiao Lin saw at a glance that on the altar, there were four light pillars standing, in yellow, gray, red, and green. The four-color light pillars gathered together, and in the middle was an inch-long ancient token hanging in the air, rotating.
"Duntian Order?" Bai Ling, who was standing aside, had a joyful expression on her pretty face. As long as she got this Duntian Order, she could enter the inner city and have the opportunity to use the super cross-domain teleportation array to return to the demon clan area.
When Xiao Lin was about to step forward to take the Duntian Order, his face suddenly changed, and his steps forward also stopped.
"Master Jinzhu?" Xiao Lin smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that behind the two people, a tall and thin man appeared silently. He was the Tianmu clan cultivator in the fusion realm, Master Jinzhu.
Behind Master Jinzhu, two more people came in soon, a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties and had a gloomy face. The woman looked to be in her twenties. She had a hot body and a hint of spring between her eyebrows.
Xiao Lin naturally recognized Master Jinzhu at a glance. Xiao Lin had also seen the other man and woman in the valley before entering the Tiandu Secret Realm. Both of them were at the same level as him, at the initial stage of the Refining Void Realm.
As soon as the three people came in, Xiao Lin realized that things had become complicated.
Xiao Lin would not do such a stupid thing to make him and Master Jinzhu enemies for a mere escape order.
Master Jinzhu obviously didn't take the four people in the hall seriously. Although he came in after Xiao Lin and Bai Ling, there is no first-come-first-served rule in the world of immortal cultivation where strength is respected.
Master Jinzhu completely ignored the four people and walked straight to the altar in the center of the hall, obviously intending to take the escape order directly.
Xiao Lin didn't show any expression when he saw this. The man and woman had gloomy faces, but they didn't dare to stop him. As for Bai Ling, her eyes showed a deep expression of loss and unwillingness.
Xiao Lin suddenly felt something in his heart and his lips moved.
Master Jinzhu, who was walking towards the altar, paused and showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, when Xiao Lin's lips stopped moving, he turned around and looked at Xiao Lin.
"Are you human?" Master Jinzhu suddenly asked Xiao Lin.
"Junior Xiao Lin, meet Senior Jin Zhu." Xiao Lin immediately bowed respectfully and replied.
Master Jin Zhu nodded and said, "If what you said is true, I can take you into the inner city. Besides, you are talking about this demon woman, right?"
When Master Jin Zhu said this, he glanced at Bai Ling again.
"Every word I say is true, and I dare not say anything wrong." Xiao Lin replied calmly and frankly.
After hearing what Xiao Lin said, the man and woman's faces changed. The man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Master Jinzhu, then said: "Senior Jinzhu, this Sky-Escape Order can only transport three people at a time, and we have already agreed that the two juniors will tell you the location of the Tianxuan Palace, and you will send us into the inner city."
Bai Ling's pretty face changed slightly. She now understood that the man and woman had reached some kind of agreement with Master Jinzhu, and Master Jinzhu used a Sky-Escape Order to bring them into the inner city.
And Xiao Lin seemed to have reached some agreement with Master Jinzhu, which made Master Jinzhu change his mind.
But Bai Ling didn't know what the conditions were that made Master Jinzhu agree to take them into the inner city.
Upon hearing this, Master Jinzhu showed a wicked smile on his face: "The inner city of this ruined city is only a thousand miles in radius, so finding it is nothing. Compared with a fragment of the Tianxuan Palace map, I can naturally tell which is more important."
The man's face turned pale when he heard this. Before he could speak, Master Jinzhu continued to smile and said, "Besides, I can know the location of the Tianxuan Palace even if you don't tell me."
The man and woman's faces changed drastically when they heard this. Almost at the same time, a flash of light appeared on their bodies, and they were about to shoot out of the palace.
"Want to run?" Master Jinzhu sneered, waved his sleeves, and two golden lights flashed, followed by two shrill screams.
Even Xiao Lin and Bai Ling, who were next to him, changed their faces drastically.
It turned out that the man and woman were both beheaded by a golden blade about an inch long. Two spiritual lights shot out from the necks of the man and woman, and they still screamed miserably. But at this time, a golden light flashed, and Master Jinzhu seemed to appear in front of the two people out of thin air.
With both hands, he grabbed remotely, and two golden hands shot out in the air, grabbing the man and woman's souls.
Although both of them were in the realm of refining emptiness and their Yin spirits were just beginning to form, they were useless to the cultivators in the fusion realm.
Master Jinzhu's eyes were already cold, and his huge divine thoughts shot out, and he directly launched the soul-searching method to search the souls of the two people.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin's heart sank. Master Jinzhu looked very kind on the surface, like a Taoist cultivator, but his style of doing things was extremely cruel. Once the man and woman lost their usefulness, he would kill them immediately without any mercy.
A moment later, a golden light flashed from Master Jinzhu's hand, and the man and woman's souls were completely shattered by it, turning into ashes.
After taking off the star rings of the two people, Master Jinzhu casually threw out two balls of golden flames, burning the remains of the two people to ashes, and then turned around and looked at Xiao Lin and the others.
