Chapter 498: Tragic Scene
Chapter 498: Tragic Scene
Not all the female elders of the Goddess Sect returned to the Sect this time. Some elders still remained in the secret realm of the Wending Sect, including Elder Mei.
Although compared to the Wendao Sect, Mei Xiangu is actually more familiar with the Shennv Sect.
But Elder Mei was not in the Goddess Sect, and she felt it was boring to stay there.
So when Cui'er came to inquire, she immediately packed up and decided to go to Dao Zong with Tian Lin and others.
When the few of them left the Goddess Sect, no one came to see them off except Monk Kongwu, not even the believers of the New Four Gods Religion came.
Mei Xiangu laughed at Tian Lin and said, "You spent more than half a year cultivating so many believers. In the end, you are leaving and no one remembers you."
Tian Lin, on the other hand, didn't care. After bidding farewell to Monk Kong Wu, he answered Mei Xiangu after he boarded the flying boat, "What they believed in was not me, but the so-called Four Gods. Once you see through this, what is there to be disappointed about?"
"You are open-minded."
After making a sarcastic remark, Mei Xiangu finally changed the subject and asked, "What did Elder Xue write to ask you to do? Is it related to my master's death?"
When Wang Yanyu was in Beiye County, she said that she would take care of the whole matter of Elder Zhang's death.
Although she knew that Wang Yanyu was not a boastful person, the dead person was a Nascent Soul elder after all. Mei Xiangu could not think of what means Wang Yanyu used to make the sect stop investigating the cause of Elder Zhang's death.
"Elder Xue didn't mention Elder Zhang in his letter, and he didn't actually ask us to go back."
Tian Lin said: "He just told us that a space has been opened up in the secret realm. In the future, the Taoist temple of the Dao Sect will be mainly located in the secret realm."
Mei Xiangu raised her eyebrows and said, "Why do you want to enter that secret place for no reason?"
"According to Elder Xue, the disaster that happened ten thousand years ago will continue to this day. In the future, the outside world may be more dangerous than the secret realm—"
Almost as soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, the locusts under the flying boat started to stir.
A large number of locusts suddenly began to flee in all directions, as if something was driving them away.
Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu felt nervous. First, Mei Xiangu sacrificed her goddess tree, and then Tian Lin increased the speed of the flying boat.
Soon, the four people on the boat turned their heads and looked back, just in time to see a "Buddha's hand" slapping away the locusts and bursting the air behind them.
It is called Buddha's hand, but this hand actually exudes demonic and devilish aura. In the interweaving of demonic and devilish auras, one can vaguely see hair as lush as a forest and as tall as a tree on this mountain-like palm.
"What kind of evil spirit is this?"
Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu both knew that there were evil spirits everywhere under Nanzhou, but when they first came to Nanzhou, the evil spirits were mostly in the mountains and fields, and their strength was not very strong.
But the evil hand just now, even if it did not have the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, seemed not to be much different.
"We have been staying in the Goddess Sect for this period of time and have not paid attention to the changes in the outside world. Now it seems that the reason why there have been so few disaster victims coming to the Goddess Sect is not because the disciples of the Goddess Sect stop them, but mostly because of these evil spirits."
"Jingzhe!"
Tian Lin's words did not affect his own spellcasting. He raised his hand and a thunderbolt fell from the sky. The thunderbolt directly hit the big hand, and then the thunder spread. Within a hundred miles of the big hand, the sea of thunder burned and electrocuted the locusts to death.
Mei Xiangu was also moving fast. The Goddess Tree in her hand suddenly began to sprout branches. The branches were like thousands of long whips, lashing at the big hand.
With the cooperation of the two, they got rid of the pursuit of the big hand in a flash.
"If I had known you, I would have taken the sect's teleportation array directly to the Northern Wilderness. Why would I have to go to Quzhou to take the teleportation array?"
"My original intention was to go and see the vendor who was selling my paper figurines when I passed by Fuzhou."
"Why are you looking for him? Are you seeking revenge?" "I am very interested in origami in Qimen Dunjia. I didn't learn it entirely because of Elder Zuo—"
He initially approached the street vendor, saying that Wang Yanyu had a grudge against him, and that Wang Yanyu had offered a large reward for clues about him.
Tian Lin was betting that the vendor would sell him out for the reward. After all, the vendor had run out of food and had no other way to survive except to sell out Tian Lin.
In fact, the vendor had indeed fled to Kitano County. And he had indeed learned from the rumors in Kitano County that Tian Lin and Wang Yanyu were having an affair.
The street vendor happily found the Su family and reported Tian Lin to Wang Yanyu.
Fortunately, Wang Yanyu was quite smart and understood Tian Lin's situation from a few words from the vendor.
She made a prompt decision and took Monk Kongwu with her and ran to Nanzhou.
As for the small vendor, Wang Yanyu did not break her promise. She really gave her some food and let him return to Nanzhou.
According to Tian Lin's guess, the vendor had returned to Fuzhou. As long as he was careful, the formation left in Fuzhou should be enough to survive until now.
However, the big hand just now made Tian Lin lose confidence in the safety of the small vendors.
"Master, the city of Fuzhou is just below."
At this time, Yu'er suddenly spoke.
Tian Lin hesitated for a moment, then said to Mei Xiangu, "Take Cui Er and her sister away first. I will go to Fuzhou alone to take a look."
After hearing this, Mei Xiangu sneered, "With you? If you encounter danger, it will be better with me. If you are alone, I am afraid you won't be able to find help if you want to escape."
She thought she was stronger than Tian Lin in fighting ability, and the reason why she cared so much about Tian Lin's life or death was because her fate was tied to Tian Lin's.
Under Tian Lin's control, the flying boat quickly passed through the "cloud" formed by locusts and landed above Fuzhou.
But just as expected, the formation in Fuzhou had already broken down. Looking down, all I could see were evil spirits roaming around in the streets of Fuzhou City, and no human figures at all.
"That little vendor is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, right? With his strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in the hands of so many evil spirits."
"You're right - maybe he's dead, or he's escaped with his family."
After saying this, Tian Lin suddenly changed the flying boat and flew towards Quzhou.
Seeing this, Mei Xiangu asked, "Are you not going to learn origami from that vendor?"
"Although the origami technique in the vendor's hands is somewhat unique, the Qimen Dunjia technique is also available in the sect. Rather than taking the risk to look for him, it is better to return to the Wendao Sect and look for him in the sect myself."
Tian Lin was unwilling to take risks, after all, this was not his home ground.
Soon, the flying boat passed Fuzhou, and in a flash Quzhou was already in sight.
The situation in Quzhou was even worse than in Fuzhou. Even the city walls were crawling with zombies and evil spirits. The entire city had long since become a dead city.
"Perhaps it is true as Elder Xue said, this world is no longer suitable for normal people to live in."
Mei Xiangu didn't have so many feelings. She just looked at the post station in Quzhou City and said, "Now we hope that these damn evil spirits didn't destroy the teleportation array. Otherwise, our trip would have been in vain."
