Chapter 542 Return to Qinghu Island

After more than ten days, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation in high spirits, and his spirit and energy were fully restored to their peak state.

Without much hesitation, he left Qingfeng Inn and planned to return to Hanyuan Immortal City.

But as soon as he entered the town, he felt a strange anger. He was surprised to find that many shops were closed and the monks were in a hurry.

In a few unclosed shops, the clerks seemed to be busy packing up the goods, as if they were going to leave.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. He walked into the nearest shop, where a foundation-building cultivator who looked like the owner was putting all kinds of materials on the shelves into the storage bag one by one.

"My fellow Taoist, are you going to close the shop? Why?" Xiao Lin looked at the monk's back and asked.

Hearing this, the foundation-building cultivator showed dissatisfaction on his face, obviously unhappy about being interrupted at work. He turned around and was about to scold, but after feeling the huge spiritual pressure on Xiao Lin, his face changed.

After discovering that Xiao Lin was at least a Jindan cultivator, the impatience on his face disappeared, and he forced out a smile.

"Please, senior, because recently in the Wanyao Sea, more than a dozen towns have been slaughtered by monsters, and even several high-level Jindan cultivators have died. Towns like our Qingfeng Town do not have Yuanying cultivators in charge. If they are really attacked by monsters, they will most likely be the same as those dozen towns that were slaughtered."

After a pause, he continued, "Well, after receiving the news, most of the nearby immortal cultivators chose to return to Hanyuan Immortal City, and come back after figuring out what happened here and the storm has passed."

"More than a dozen towns were slaughtered?" Xiao Lin was really surprised to hear this news. You know, there are at least hundreds of immortal cultivators in such towns, most of whom are in the foundation-building stage.

According to this person, even high-level cultivators in the Jindan stage were killed before they could escape. In this case, either the number of monsters was extremely shocking, or there was a transformed monster cultivator leading the way, which could lead to such a situation.

The shadow of the bald man naturally emerged in Xiao Lin's mind, which made his face change.

"Senior, I advise you to leave quickly. More than a dozen towns have been slaughtered. This has not happened for hundreds of years. If things go wrong, there will be a large-scale beast tide. I heard that there are seniors in the Yuanying stage who have gone to investigate the news." After this person finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Lin and packed up the materials in the shop.

Xiao Lin walked out of the shop with a suspicious expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he came to a remote alley. After seeing that there was no one around, a dark green spiritual light flashed on his body.

When the spiritual light dissipated, Xiao Lin had already turned into a forty-year-old bearded man, and his aura also dropped from the late Jindan stage to the early Jindan stage.

After hearing the shopkeeper's answer, Xiao Lin suspected that most of these dozen towns were killed by the bald man who had chased him. In other words, these dozen towns were slaughtered, and it might be his fault.

However, he did not go to find the bald man to avenge those human cultivators who died unjustly. Instead, he used the secret art of Yi Lingbian to change his appearance, and then turned into a long dark green spiritual light, flew towards the west, and disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye.

A few days later, Xiao Lin returned to Hanyuan Xiancheng. What surprised him was that the entire Xiancheng was ready. On the walls of the Xiancheng, rows of Xianjun were patrolling.

When entering the city, there was a huge bronze mirror hanging on the wall. Everyone entering the city had to pass through the pale yellow light shone by the bronze mirror. After confirming that it was correct, they could enter the Xiancheng.

When Xiao Lin walked into the yellow light, his appearance changed strangely, which frightened a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core beside him, and he almost sacrificed his magic weapon.

The leader of the city guards was surprised to see Xiao Lin's appearance instantly changed from a bearded man to a handsome short-haired young man in his twenties.

But he said nothing, made way, and bowed to Xiao Lin.

When Xiao Lin's Yi Ling Bian secret technique was broken, he was also horrified. He didn't know what the huge bronze mirror on the city wall was made of, and even his Yi Ling Bian secret technique could be easily broken.

However, the purpose of the Five Elements Alliance hanging this bronze mirror was not to break the cultivators' hidden disguise secret technique, but mainly to prevent the shapeshifting demons from infiltrating the human race's fairy city.

Therefore, although the city guard was surprised by Xiao Lin's mysterious secret technique, he would not make things difficult when he saw that he was a genuine human cultivator.

Xiao Lin didn't know that the bronze mirror was a famous delusion-breaking spiritual mirror in the world of immortal cultivation, which was said to be able to break all means of hiding one's body. Even a big monster could not hide in front of it.

This was also the performance of some large immortal cities in a state of war. It can be seen that the news of the massacre of more than a dozen towns had been reported back to Hanyuan Immortal City, and the Five Elements Alliance had begun to be alert.

Although Xiao Lin's Yi Lingbian secret technique was broken, he still walked into the immortal city in a swagger. He did not stay in the immortal city. After spending ten spirit stones and hiring a wind-controlling carriage, he went straight to the west city gate.

After passing through the west city gate, Xiao Lin drove the escape light and flew towards the southwest.

Xiao Lin had no intention of staying in the Immortal City, even though large immortal cities like Hanyuan Immortal City not only had many restrictions, many methods of immortal cultivators could not be used in the city, and there was also a rule that no fighting was allowed in the immortal city.

Let alone Xiao Lin, even if Old Man Ku Han entered Hanyuan Immortal City and met him on the street, he would have no way to deal with him except to blow his beard and glare at him.

But this did not mean that Old Man Ku Han could only do nothing. After all, unless Xiao Lin was determined to stay in the Immortal City for his whole life, as long as he left Hanyuan Immortal City, he would immediately encounter endless pursuit.

This was also the reason why Xiao Lin did not continue to stay in Hanyuan Immortal City.

Half a month later, Xiao Lin saw an island appear in the distant sky, and a smile appeared on his face. He flashed with spiritual light and then turned into a big man with a curly beard.

There were many islands within thousands of miles around Qinghu Island, all surrounding Leishi Immortal City, forming an area where immortal cultivators were very dense. Various escape lights came and went in the sky, shuttling between the blue sky and white clouds.

Some of them were driving magic weapons, and some were riding all kinds of strange and bizarre spiritual pets. Of course, there would occasionally be Jindan cultivators like Xiao Lin, who could already take magic weapons into their bodies and fly into the sky and into the ground with the help of the escape light emitted from their bodies.

After Xiao Lin changed his appearance, he began to lower the escape light and flew almost close to the sea surface, which was ten feet high. Two hours later, Xiao Lin had landed on Qinghu Island, in front of his cave.

Xiao Lin's huge spiritual sense instantly swept the thousands of feet around his cave in Qinghu Mountain back and forth several times. After finishing, he showed a surprised expression on his face.

The restrictions around his cave still existed, and there was no sign of being attacked by anyone. This made him a little strange. Under normal circumstances, someone would definitely come during the time he was away.

After discovering the formation restrictions, of course, he would first ask politely. After finding that no one responded, he should make a tentative attack.

As long as someone attacked the formation he had set up, he would definitely be able to sense it.

Unless someone comes and Jiang Yingxue happens to be on the mountain, those who are spying will retreat.

Of course, it is also known that there is already an owner here. After all, this island is the property of the Five Elements Alliance. He can occupy it for a long time with the help of Che Lanxin's relationship.

For Xiao Lin, it is also a good thing that no one comes to disturb him. After opening the ban, Xiao Lin walked into his cave.

But as soon as he entered the training room, his brows frowned slightly.

It turned out that there was a sound of breaking through the air outside. Although it was very weak, it was still clearly received by Xiao Lin.

The huge spiritual consciousness swept out instantly. After a moment, Xiao Lin showed a strange expression on his face, and then the dark green spiritual light rose. When the spiritual light dissipated, Xiao Lin's figure had disappeared.

Outside the cave, Xiao Lin saw a light flying towards the side of Qinghu Mountain. Looking at the direction, it was the location of his apprentice's cave.

At this time, the escaping light seemed to have noticed Xiao Lin standing in front of the cave. The escaping light suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to shoot in the direction of Xiao Lin.

Soon, the escaping light fell from the sky. When the escaping light converged, a sloppy middle-aged man was revealed. He was carrying a huge gourd on his back and reeked of alcohol. Next to him, a flying sword was spinning and coiling.

"Senior?" The sloppy middle-aged man looked at the short-haired young man in front of him who looked only about 20 years old, and his face showed an expression of disbelief. He naturally recognized Xiao Lin. The man in front of him had not changed after decades.

If there was a difference, it was that the spiritual pressure on this person was becoming more and more unfathomable. Compared with the time he saw him before, it was a world of difference.

"Le Hu?" Xiao Lin also showed an expression of surprise. After he took Jiang Yingxue's reincarnation away from the Jiang family, he knew that he was working as a guard in the Shen family, but he did not intend to take him away with him.

So he didn't inform him, but took Jiang Yingxue away alone. Unexpectedly, after decades, he still came to find him. This made Xiao Lin feel a little strange.

As if he saw the doubt in Xiao Lin's heart, Le Hu's stubbled face showed a trace of embarrassment: "To be honest, senior, before the master died, he once passed down a soul secret technique, which enabled me to sense the master's approximate location through this secret technique."

"It is because of this that I can find her reincarnation repeatedly after the master's reincarnation."

"So that's it." Xiao Lin suddenly realized, he actually had some guesses in his heart. After countless tens of thousands of years of development in the world of immortal cultivation, there are countless strange secret techniques, and the soul secret technique that Le Hu mentioned is not a profound method.

"Where is Yingxue?" Xiao Lin nodded and asked.
