Chapter 154 Destined to be on a dead end! [First update!] In the dark night. There was a bundle on the ground, and a wooden bow and three wooden arrows were thrown on it. "Where's the fish?" Lin Xiaoqi, who was transformed from a little white ape, ran forward with an arrow piercing his head, still shaking. "Ran." Lin Yan picked up the wooden bow and found it heavy in his hand. He frowned and asked, "What material is it made of?" He pulled out the wooden arrow from the little white ape's head and found that it was just an ordinary arrow. The ability of the Qi Refining Realm is usually able to strike from a thousand steps away! But with this wooden bow, he could actually shoot three thousand steps away! "It's a treasure. It's yours."

Lin Yan threw it over. The little white ape reached out to take it, but groaned. “It’s so heavy.” "Ok?" Lin Yan took the bow, glanced at it, and said slowly: "Could it be that the material of this wooden bow has the effect of suppressing evil spirits?" He vaguely understood something and pondered, "The guy just now was at the Qi Refining Stage with hidden dangers of the ancient method. Carrying this bow also seemed heavy. So when he was fleeing in a hurry, he was afraid that he would run too slowly and threw away the bow?" Thinking of this, Lin Yan took the small crossbow, handed it over, and said: "It seems that you can't use this wooden bow. From now on, you can use this small crossbow." "Okay!" The little white ape put away the small crossbow and asked, "Was the fish you caught just now in the Qi Refining Stage?" "The level of cultivation should be higher than mine." Lin Yan frowned and said, "Actually, it's not easy for me to kill him, but why did he escape so quickly?" "..." The little white ape looked at him strangely. Normally speaking, in this eerie night, the evil spirits at the ferocious level are more terrifying than those at the Qi Refining level. If there are enough demons and evil spirits around, the ferocious evil spirits hiding in the dark can even kill a Qi Refining Realm Saint and finally devour him! Just now, the master killed a ferocious evil spirit in less than half an hour. The other party did not run away directly, but dared to use the wooden bow to test secretly, which was extremely bold. "Too……" Lin Yan seemed to have thought of something, and said with a little sudden realization: "In Qifeng Mansion, there are not many simple people who can cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm." "To be able to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm, I don't know how many years I spent and how much hardship I endured. It was not easy to join this group."

"For such a person, it is normal for him to be cautious and cherish his life more, as he feels that he has reached the pinnacle of his life and has finally reached a high place." After hearing what the master said, the little white ape's expression became even weirder. If someone else said this, it would be fine. Why does it feel so wrong when it comes from the master's mouth? "You old man haven't spent many years, nor have you suffered much..." the little white ape muttered. "What did you say?" Lin Yan asked, tilting his head. “I have to say that once you are at the Qi Refining Stage in Qifeng Mansion, you can already walk around with your head held high. You can be a hegemon wherever you are, so you should really cherish your life.” The little white ape said seriously. "Let's go. Since the other party is so afraid, I think the second half of the night will be relatively safe." Lin Yan turned his head and looked at the little white ape with a hole on his forehead. He said expressionlessly, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You have water in your brain. Fix it." "This method of 'creating a fake body' is quite good, but the paper used by the Heavenly Supervisor is of poor quality." The little white ape touched his head and couldn't help but ask, "Master, when will my salary for this month be paid? I need to add some money to buy some good quality paper so that I can live a good life. Otherwise, I will have to either repair it or rebuild it, which is quite troublesome." When it looked up, it saw that the master had already walked far away, so it quickly put the crossbow in its pocket and ran after him. "Speaking of which, this bow can shoot three thousand steps. It sounds impressive, but I don't think it's that powerful. It can barely pierce my paper-made head..." The little white ape said solemnly: "With your cultivation, identity, status, character, appearance, and demeanor... without powerful arrows, this bow is totally unworthy of you!" Lin Yan weighed the bow in his hand and continued, "This bow is quite good. Even ordinary arrows, with the addition of true energy, are not weak in power." The little white ape said, "That arrow just now didn't seem that powerful." Lin Yan continued to walk forward, saying, "He treats you as a beginner warrior who hasn't even trained his skin, flesh and bones yet, so he is willing to shoot an arrow at you. This is already a compliment to you, and you still expect him to do his best?" "He shot this arrow just as a test, and he also wanted to use the least effort to destroy the Pure Land and get the greatest results." "If he can't succeed, then he has to run for his life, so he can use one less strand of true energy. When he runs for his life, he can use one more strand of true energy." At this point, Lin Yan turned his head, his expression normal, and said: "There is something wrong with you kid. Every time you change your way of bragging, you must have a conspiracy!" "Not really." The little white ape shook his head quickly, but paused and whispered, "Master, I heard that in Qifeng City, there is a kind of arrow made of the sacred Wutong tree, which is specially used to fight evil spirits." "Evil-killing arrow!" Lin Yan nodded and said, "I've heard of the reputation of this arrow." The little white ape hesitated and said, "My grandfather said that the strange fog on the lonely boat is different from ordinary evil spirits. Its composition is extremely complex... But the evil spirit-killing arrow may have a restraining effect." Lin Yan stopped and whispered, "Want revenge?" The little white ape was silent for a moment before nodding slightly. Since its rebirth, it has been following Lin Yan.

But there is inevitably a thought of revenge in my heart. I really dare not mention the past, after all, the boat was alone in the treacherous fog, which was extremely dangerous and evil. Looking around Qifeng Mansion, among the powerful humans, few can be sure of destroying a very vicious and evil being. But this time, the ferocious evil spirit was easily killed by Lin Yan! The fire of revenge in its heart inevitably fluctuates and seems to be unable to be suppressed. "After this battle with Xu Dingye of the Small Divine Sect, we will go and deal with the lonely boat and strange fog." Lin Yan looked at the little white ape and couldn't help but slow down his tone. He said, "Now facing the most vicious and evil existence, the master is not sure that he can deal with it... Next month, it will be almost done." After a pause, Lin Yan continued, "When we return to Gaoliu City, I will use your three months' salary to exchange for three evil-killing arrows from the commander." - The top floor of Fengcheng Temple. After receiving the news, six temple priests came. Everyone here had a solemn look on their faces. "Three Qi Refining Realm statues, and one fierce evil spirit." "And it was near Fengcheng, so we didn't report it." "Could it be that the ashes of the catastrophe have gathered here and are preparing to storm Fengcheng?" "That vicious evil spirit has been killed, and the Qi Refining Realm has also disappeared. It doesn't seem like they are from the same group." "By the way, the Impermanence Inspector who sneaked into Fengcheng today and killed the two sons of the Shi family, did he return to Gaoliu City in this direction?" "The Shi family in Qifeng City probably hasn't received the news that the two young masters were killed, so they wouldn't come so quickly." "But if the Inspector Wu Chang is unlucky, he will run into these three Qi Refining Realm masters and that fierce evil spirit." "Wait until daybreak, and then go investigate." "Wait and see what happens tonight, and record it in the book first." The six temple priests discussed it and reached a consensus. And at this moment, in the temple hall. The contemporary city defender of Fengcheng arrived in a hurry. "Is this the direction Wuchang left?" the city guard said solemnly. "It should be." The temple priest nodded. "Is this related to him?" The city guard frowned. “I don’t know.” The chief temple keeper shook his head slightly. “But before Wuchang left the city, the God bypassed me and personally granted me the divine light… I roughly understand the function of this divine light.” "What's the function?" the city guard couldn't help but ask.

"Because of the influence of the divine energy, the divine mirror on the top floor cannot fully see the scene over there." The chief temple keeper said slowly: "What happened tonight is unclear. It is impossible to guess what happened." "Could it be that the Lord God knew that something would happen in that direction tonight, and thus concealed the secret in advance?" The face of the city guardian turned solemn. "Covering the divine mirror is to cover the eyes and ears of Fengcheng." The chief temple priest stroked his beard and sighed, "The ancient old gods have overwhelmed the new gods of Fengcheng... I'm afraid that the newly built Fengcheng is in danger." - The sky is getting brighter. Outside the pure land. Lin Yan opened his eyes. His attainment in martial arts has greatly improved, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in his practice last night. He has already gained two streams of true qi, which have entered his ancestral acupoint. Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm (5/6480) + He was quite satisfied, and thought to himself, "I'll go back to Gaoliu City and ask for two pieces of Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade. In just two nights, I can complete the 'Nine Paths of True Qi' of the Ancestral Acupoint between My Eyebrows!" When he stood up, he saw that the old garrison commander with a broken left palm was ready to leave. "Aren't you going back to Gaoliu City with me?" Lin Yan suddenly spoke. "..." The old garrison commander paused, and said in a dry voice, "I can't go back." Lin Yan understood what he meant. This old garrison commander, due to the hidden dangers of ancient methods and the flaws of the Blood Refined Divine Sword, was harmed by the jewels and became possessed. He slaughtered all the members of the Tianjian Division who were traveling with him, and also killed many innocent people on the way. Even though there are reasons for this, it still cannot be changed. This old garrison commander is the real murderer! "You intercepted Jie Jin's secret letter, which can be regarded as a great contribution." Lin Yan sighed and said. "Lin Xiaoqi said that you killed the eldest son of Deputy City Guard Shi yesterday." The old garrison commander said with a smile: "As a commander of the city guards, he also made military achievements in the past. But he was killed by you because he committed a capital crime, right?" “……”Lin Yan fell silent. "My merits and demerits cannot be offset. Going back this time will only cause trouble." The old garrison commander sighed and said, "Besides, even if I am willing to go back and serve the human race, will I still be valued?" "I don't know." Lin Yan's voice was slightly lower. "You know." The old garrison commander waved his hand and said, "If I lose control once, I will lose control a second time. Who dares to use me again? He laughed at himself and said, "This time when I return to the city, maybe I can be exempted from the punishment of being thrown into prison or even from hard labor because of my meritorious service." "But what about the future? I am willing to continue to serve the human race, but the human race is full of suspicion towards me and cannot trust me completely!" "I am destined not to go back, and I don't want to go back." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Wu Chang, the key to the Canyu Mansion can be considered a contribution! Consider it my small apology for involving you!" After hearing this, Lin Yan was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he said in a low voice: "You have been hunted by Jie Jin. If you don't go back to the city, where else can you go?" The old garrison commander thought for a moment and said, "Burn this face, go to Canyu Mansion, and temporarily seek refuge with Jie Jin on the other side." Then he quickly raised his hand and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to try and see if I can find the exact clue of the 'key' from the 'robbery embers' over there." "The Jie Jin over there?" Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but ponder and said, "You mean, there are regional divisions in the Jiechen?" "of course." The old garrison commander nodded and said, "The Jiejin people are not united. They are divided into many factions, too numerous to count." After thinking for a while, I heard the old man say, "It can be said that they are not of the same kind. They have different philosophies." "But because they basically have a common idea, they came together." "And this common idea is to destroy the human race's city!" "However, because they came from different cities, they wanted to destroy different cities, which led to the division between the factions." At this point, the old garrison commander said with a hint of sarcasm: "For example, the Jie Jin in Gaoliu City and the Jie Jin in Fengcheng are not the same family!" "Is there still such a thing?" Lin Yan couldn't help but be surprised and looked thoughtful. "You seem to be involved in the slaughterhouse case... Then you should know that some of the people who robbed Jin came from Licheng." The old garrison commander said solemnly, "These Jiejin from different regions have actually reached an alliance, helping and supporting each other, and most of them have close contacts!" Then, the old garrison commander pondered and said, "However, Qifeng Prefecture and Canyu Prefecture span two major 'prefectures', so the contacts between Jie Jin and them are relatively distant... This is why I want to go to Canyu Prefecture." "I have a spare horse here." Lin Yan exhaled and said no more, "It's better than walking." "Thank you very much." The old garrison commander smiled and said, “I thought that you were so advanced in cultivation that you could easily kill me… and your style of doing things was well-known, so I thought that this was the end of my life.” Lin Yan said calmly, "The rumors from outside are not to be believed. I am not a bloodthirsty person." The old man laughed loudly, and without hesitation, he jumped on his horse and said, "By the way, do you recognize the inspector who went to Gaoliu City last time? He went there from Qifeng City, riding a big eagle. Now he is also a cripple..." Without waiting for Lin Yan to reply, he rode his horse away from the pure land and his voice came back. "Wu Chang, if you ever hear of my death, go tell him that what I have done today is worthy of our ancestors." "Of course, I have to wait until I die before I tell him." The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Lin Yan walked outside the clean area, bowed to his back, and said, "Senior, please be careful. We will meet again if we are lucky!"

The one-armed old man suddenly reined in his horse, turned around, and said sternly: "I have already reached a dead end, and there is no turning back. I hope that you and I will never meet again!" (End of this chapter)
