In this land, there are many evil forces hidden, and Mount Empyrean is one of them.
There is a general here who has at least a thousand cultivators under his command, and all you have to do is simply to a*sa*sinate him and survive at the same time.
I will use the last of my power to send you directly to the general’s retreat.
After your a*sa*sination is complete, crush the token and you will be transported out again, do not fight the army inside, you will be instantly overwhelmed!
Elder Feng’s voice echoed in his mind, and when Lin Ran opened his eyes again, the scenery around him had changed.
And there was an ancient token in his hand.
“Is this the place where that general was in retreat?”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel his heart sink as he swept his gaze over the surroundings.
This generation was simply a barren mountain and old forest, with nothing but patches of pristine forest forest and large rocks.
“Sh*t! That wind didn’t come in the right way, I can feel an old demon living in the cave ahead!”
Pillow Book suddenly popped up.
“An old demon?”
Lin Ran frowned, could it still be a thousand year old demon?
“That thing should have lived for many years, the aura on him is very mixed, he should have been depriving others of their vitality for his own cultivation!”
Pillowbook said with a frown.
“Sh*t!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but curse.
“Then how strong is he?”
“I don’t know, but that old man is trying to pull you in, so he shouldn’t intentionally harm you!”
Pillowbook analyzed.
Lin Ran nodded and adjusted his mind as he immediately walked towards the cave.
The Mysterious Alliance was too mysterious, if it was placed before he could completely ignore it, whatever you say I just won’t join.
But now, first it was Ling Sa, then it was Leng Xuan Li Sheng and the others, Lin Ran was indeed a bit helpless.
It was like what Elder Feng said, there are times when you don’t have a choice, it is the circumstances around you that force you to make a choice.
Coming to the entrance of the cave, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel creeped out.
All this way over, although the road was close, he could feel the mountain wind blowing, but the moment he stood at the entrance of the cave, the wind around him all disappeared out of thin air.
It was as if the cave was a bottomless pit that swallowed up everything.
Lin Ran stood at the entrance of the cave and paused for a moment before finally stepping inside with a grit of his teeth.
The inside of the cave was dim, but luckily Lin Ran was not what he used to be, and his eyes could see through the darkness,? This was the reason why the journey was not delayed.
After walking for about ten minutes, the mountain wall that had been cut out suddenly began to become smooth, and even a block of brickwork appeared, as if he was in an underground palace.
Soon, however, a fork in the road appeared in front of Lin Ran, leading in three separate directions, leaving Lin Ran in a bit of a quandary for a while.
“Kid, this seems to be a maze in here!”
The pillow book reminded.
Lin Ran nodded slightly, not daring to choose indiscriminately, and immediately released his True Qi into the air.
With his current strength, his true qi detection could reach at least a thousand metres in circumference, and although it was very taxing on his mind, he couldn’t care less at this point.
However, as the distance of true qi detection grew larger and larger, Lin Ran’s face gradually became grave.
This was because he found that no matter if he took a forked path, there would be several forks ahead, just like a tree branch, the closer to the top the more forks there would be, and it was completely unstructured.
“What can we do?”
Lin Ran’s brow furrowed, and he simply stopped walking and sat down on his knees to ponder.
“Kid, do you find it strange?”
The Pillow Book suddenly asked.
“What do you mean?”
Lin Ran was puzzled.
“That old man Wind said that this was that general’s retreat, just ask who would make their retreat look like a maze!”
“Moreover, don’t forget, old man Feng also said that there is an army of a thousand people outside here, so? brick and mortar walls, and also repairing the retreat place like a maze? Don’t you think it’s strange!”
“Indeed it’s a bit strange!”
Lin Ran pondered.
This situation did defy logic somewhat, but the other party had done it anyway, and according to the speculation that existence was both inevitable, it was obvious that the other party had a reason for having to do so.
“To make his retreat so complicated? Either this general is suspicious by nature, or there is some treasure in this place of his retreat that he takes very seriously and has a reason for having to do so!”
Lin Ran suddenly thought.
“One could also say that, but what exactly is there that is so important to even him?”
The pillow was puzzled.
“No need to think about it, I know the way to crack it!”
Lin Ran suddenly stood up and laughed.
“Whether it’s because the enemy is suspicious by nature or there’s some kind of treasure here, since he’s afraid that others will find him as soon as he enters, then inevitably he’ll be hiding in the deepest part!”
Said Lin Ran as he swept his gaze over the surroundings, before he actually gathered a strand of true Qi.
“The deepest place! And also the hardest place to find, it must be a dead end! A dead end hidden in the deepest part!”
“What do you mean!”
The pillow book also pondered, as if something had occurred to him.
“If we follow the path with no air circulation, we’re bound to find him, and with the addition of True Qi detection to determine where the deepest place is,? We’ll be able to find it!”
As Lin Ran spoke, he had already experimented in front of each of the three paths, and had indeed found that as long as one of them was near the left side, there was no air circulation.
And the other two apparently might appear to be at the other end once inside.
“Go!”
Finding the path, Lin Ran immediately took a step into the pa*sage on the left.
Following this approach, after just half an hour, the colour of the pa*sage around Lin Ran changed again.
The original grey walls had actually turned dark red, as if they were walking within a blood vessel.
“Kid it looks like you got it right!”
The Pillow Book laughed.
“Blindfolded? I’m relying on my own strength!”
Lin Ran didn’t have the heart to say.
But he didn’t bother to pay him any mind, and continued to walk all the way in.
And this time, after just over ten minutes, there was no longer a path in front of Lin Ran.
What appeared in front of him was a huge cave.
Inside the cave were carved beams and painted pillars, and the decoration was extraordinarily luxurious.
But what Lin Ran did not expect was that there was not a single person inside the cave, but only a tall square on which a cylindrical pillar was placed.
This pillar was stuck straight in the middle of the square, as if it was a pillar pointing to the sky.
“My god, this place is so haunted that it is really an ancient tomb?”
Lin Ran was still shocked in his heart, could it be that the so-called general that Elder Feng had asked him to find was actually a zombie?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Ran couldn’t help but think of Wang Yifeng, as if this guy was the professional ghost hunter, right?
“Rumble.”
Suddenly, just as Lin Ran’s mind was pondering just that, the entrance that he had originally entered was actually closed in an instant, a thick wall directly blocking the entrance.
“It’s not good, it’s been discovered!”
Lin Ran’s heart was shocked and his entire body tensed up.
Sure enough, the entire space shook violently once the entrance had been closed.
At the same time, the huge stone pillar on top of the square in front of him also began to shake violently, and a crack actually appeared on it, as if something was about to come out from inside.
