The next day, Lin Yu pretended that nothing had happened, and went out to have a drink with Wang Hu. It was not until ten minutes past midnight that he returned home happily.
Lin Yu used his soul power to dissolve all the wine in his body, released his immortal consciousness to investigate, and found that Zhang Kang went out again at dawn. However, he had returned in less than half a stick of incense.
When Zhang Kang came back, he gathered the mercenaries in the prison forest together. The wealthy businessmen who had come over the past two days and wanted to join the mercenary team also called into the hall.
"Next, we are going to Empty Prison City, which is the city closest to Empty Prison Death Forest. It is not as scary as you think. If we get there safely this time, each person will be rewarded with fifteen gold bars." Zhang
Kang announced to everyone.
When he first mentioned the Empty Prison Death Forest, almost everyone took a small step back, but when the reward was mentioned, those people's eyes turned red again.
The temptation of fifteen gold bars is not ordinary. If I can come back safely, I will definitely not have to do this again in the future, and I can just find a place to enjoy my old age.
The wages of avarice is death!
"I go."
"I am coming too."
…
Everyone raised their hands in agreement, and almost no one flinched. Wang Hu was still hesitant at first, but when he saw that Lin Yu had already raised his hand, he raised it too.
Seeing that no one was correct, Zhang Kang was also sincerely happy, and then ordered his servants to continue on their way.
This time, Lin Yu was walking behind. The team marched for a whole day before stopping to rest. Except for a few people who were left to guard, the rest hid in the trees and fell asleep.
Lin Yu found a tall ancient tree alone, curled up completely into the branches, and began to accumulate soul power in his body.
At ten minutes in the night, when everyone was snoring, Lin Yu saw that Zhang Kang was also practicing, so he rushed directly towards Tianzi City along the ancient trees.
After leaping nearly three hundred feet from the tree, Lin Yu took out the Bone Ling Pen and rose directly with the weapon, increasing his speed several times.
Lin Yu didn't fly high, flying close to the woods at his feet. He also moved very skillfully, barely touching the branches and leaves of the ancient trees around him, and ordinary people couldn't even notice it.
In just half a stick of incense, Lin Yu had already arrived thirty miles away from Tianzi City, slowly descended from the sky, put away the bone pen, and hurried inside.
After dozens of moments of breathing, Lin Yu came to the backyard of the palace again and found that there were still sounds of babies crying in the ancient forest.
I saw two carriages parked inside, and two soldiers holding babies in their arms. They kept taking the babies from the carriages to the house.
That's right, Lin Yu couldn't stand this kind of disregard for human life at all, so he came to deal with the middle-aged man when Zhang Kang and the others were not paying attention.
In this way, Zhang Kang will not be alarmed, so he can follow him to the Empty Prison Death Forest smoothly, and he can also eliminate harm for the people. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
He took out two silver needles from his sleeves, poured them with soul power, and suddenly threw them at the two soldiers. Without making any sound, the two men fell to the ground.
I quietly climbed up to the roof and saw that there was no one in the room. Just by scanning with my immortal consciousness, I could find something wrong with the table.
Taking out the Gu Ling pen, Lin Yu jumped down from the roof, picked up the white bottle on the table, took out a stack of talisman paper from his sleeve robe, and poured the powder in the bottle on it.
A burst of green smoke flashed by, and the pungent burnt smell came, and the medicinal powder quickly turned into a pile of ashes.
At this time, the table shook suddenly for a moment, and then stopped again. Apart from the baby's cry, there was no other sound in the room.
If Lin Yu hadn't come yesterday, he probably wouldn't have known where the middle-aged man was hiding. But now, every move of the other party is completely under his control.
"Come out, I know where you are." Lin Yu chuckled softly, while pouring soul power into Gu Ling's pen.
Ever since Lin Yu came in, the middle-aged man hiding in the table had already noticed something was wrong.
The powder in the bottle was destroyed just now, and he had already exposed some flaws. Now he couldn't see through Lin Yu's cultivation at all, so how could he dare to come out at will.
"You forced me." Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said.
A strong force was transmitted to the bone pen, and the soft hair at the tip suddenly became extremely hard. With Lin Yu full of anger, he smashed it against the table.
The exquisitely carved sandalwood table immediately turned into a pile of powder. Only a scream was heard, but the middle-aged man was still nowhere to be seen.
A trace of bright red was left on the pillar of Lin Yu's house, and he suddenly understood in his heart. He raised the bone pen in his hand again and hit the pillar.
There was another scream, and the middle-aged man was forced to reveal his true form, but he had no intention of fighting with Lin Yu, but ran out of the house.
Lin Yu immediately jumped up, broke through the roof, and followed to the outside of the room. However, he still did not see the other party's figure, so he immediately released his immortal consciousness and began to scan the woods.
After two gasps, Lin Yu detected the other party's location. The immortal sense felt that the other party was wandering among the ancient trees at extremely fast speeds.
"It seems that the cultivator of the wood attribute is in the right place at the right time in this ancient forest." Lin Yu poured in his soul power and controlled the bone pen to start bombarding the ancient tree.
There were bursts of explosions, and the entire palace was in commotion. The guards rushed here in a hurry. Only when they saw the golden light in the sky, no one dared to take a step forward.
Dozens of breathing periods passed, and most of the entire ancient forest fell. However, the Bone Ling Pen did not injure the opponent at all.
If it continues like this, he still doesn't know when it will be possible to catch him. Lin Yu thought in his heart that he did not dare to spend too long for fear of being discovered by Zhang Kang.
"Hurry and catch the assassin, why are you waiting here?" The leader of the guards on the outside shouted loudly, leading a group of people to fight inside.
Just as Lin Yu was about to use Thunder Grab, just when they were about to come, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the dark night sky. Then a bolt of lightning fell and surrounded Lin Yu.
"Immortal cultivators, immortal cultivators, run away quickly."
I don't know who shouted, and all the guards dropped their weapons, ignored the leader, and fled in panic. After all, they were mortals, so they were no match for the immortal cultivators.
With the thunder gripping him, Lin Yu retracted his Bone Ling Pen, and immediately transformed into a phantom, and began to run between the ancient woods.
The middle-aged man was secretly proud at first. After all, he was still very fast in the woods. But when he saw Lin Yu triggering thunder, his speed increased sharply, and his heart that had just dropped rose again.
He just ran away for a few breaths and was hit once by Lin Yu. In just a few dozen breaths, he became a human target and was hit by Lin Yu non-stop.
At the same time, Lin Yu also played dozens of talisman papers, and the entire ancient forest immediately turned into a sea of fire. The ancient trees were burned with crackling sounds under the blowing of the wind.
Amidst the pain and choking smoke, the middle-aged man could no longer hold on, and his true form emerged from a broken ancient tree.
"Who are you refining those pills for?" Lin Yu started to ask when he saw the other party appearing.
The middle-aged man sneered and responded: "It seems that you eavesdropped a lot. No wonder you found me even when I was hiding in the table. Who are you? Maybe we are still the same family."
Lin Yu heard this, sneered, and responded lightly: "I think a scumbag like you doesn't deserve to know my name."
"Hmph, then you don't want to know who I am." After the middle-aged man said that, he shot several fire talismans at Lin Yu and jumped outside the palace at the same time.
Lin Yu looked back and saw that the leader of the guard had already begun to organize people to go to the house to rescue the trapped babies. He no longer stayed, but picked up the bone pen and followed directly.
The opponent hardly revealed his true identity, but kept using the trees to quickly wander outside the city.
"Oops." Lin Yu shouted, and at the same time, while controlling the weapon, he activated Thunder Grab again.
The middle-aged man's escape direction happened to be the direction Zhang Kang and the others left. His intention was obvious, that is, to request support as quickly as possible.
They walked hundreds of miles for a whole day. However, if the cultivators went all out, it would take less than a stick of incense.
Lin Yu's speed increased again. He had to kill the opponent before he arrived. If Zhang Kang discovered it, not only would there be no clues to the Empty Prison Death Forest, but it would also be difficult to escape.
The middle-aged man's actual combat experience can be said to be quite rich. He specializes in walking in places with lush trees. Every time Lin Yu is about to catch up with him, he can get away skillfully.
In desperation, Lin Yu took out a piece of Yuanling Stone from his storage bag. While absorbing it, the speed increased sharply, and he also released powerful soul power, forming a thick layer of earth before the middle-aged man could.
layer.
When the middle-aged man noticed it, it was too late to stop and he bumped into him.
"boom!"
Although he collided with him, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with stars. He couldn't even recognize the east, west, north, and south. He still had the ability to escape.
This place was not far from where Zhang Kang and the others were resting. Lin Yu was afraid that when he pressed the other party, he would play some tricks. So he made up his mind and took out the bone pen to sweep away.
The difference in cultivation level was only a small level, but Lin Yu, who was now full of energy, could be said to have the upper hand. The burrs on the bone brush bloomed like a flower and pierced directly into the middle-aged man's body.
Although he was aware of the danger and avoided it in time, most of the burrs still penetrated. Blood spurted out immediately, and his whole body was in pain.
Under the influence of the pain, the middle-aged man's mind became much clearer. There was no hope of escaping, so he took out a sword from his waist.
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the sword. He immediately poured in his soul power, roared in mid-air, and slammed the sword hard.
"Click."
There was a crisp sound, and the sword broke into two halves when it came into contact with the bone pen.
"Brother, please spare me. No, it's brother, it's uncle, please let me go." When the man saw that the sword was broken in half, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lin Yu had been fooled the last time outside Linfeng City, so naturally he wouldn't believe it now. While Gu Ling raised his pen, he carefully observed his every move.
As expected, as Lin Yu expected, the middle-aged man slowly moved his hands towards his waist while begging for mercy, as if he wanted to touch something.
A flash of light flashed, and Lin Yu smashed the Gu Ling Pen down mercilessly. With a loud bang, the opponent's head turned into paste and splashed everywhere.
Lin Yu touched the opponent's waist and found that there was indeed a hidden weapon hidden inside. After searching the opponent's body, he found that there were only two low-grade Yuanling stones. He shook his head helplessly and took off his night clothes.
A fire talisman was played, and the middle-aged man's body and clothes began to be burned violently.
Lin Yu saw that the sky was already slightly bright, so he no longer hesitated, used Thunder Grab again, and quickly rushed to the place where he rested before.【】
