The following morning, Lin Ran set off on his own.
He did not tell anyone about his departure.
In fact there was no need to tell anyone either.
Lin Ran knew very well in his heart that cultivation was all about him.
As for Leng Qiu, Lin Ran did not want to think about it either.
He and this girl were not destined to have any results.
Rather than telling him about his departure and making her feel that he still had a hint of meaning for her.
It would have been better to simply not say anything.
“This ninny too, she must be at least a few thousand years different from herself!”
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly.
Although in the Immortal Realm, age was never an issue, after all, cultivators all had long lifespans.
But Lin Ran really did not have the heart for it.
There were already many people he had wronged himself, and he really didn’t want to get on the nerves of the women any more.
Moreover, deep in the immortal world, it was still unknown whether he would survive and be able to return home.
How could he have the heart to talk about the affairs of men and women at this moment.
After leaving the Sword Immortal Sect, Lin Ran left East Flag City directly by taking the transmission array of East Flag City.
It was in a small town located a thousand miles east of East Flag City.
Lin Ran stepped out of the teleporter, but his destination had not yet arrived.
According to the information provided by the Sword List, this Green Demon Snake Lady was located in a place called Fallen Dragon Valley.
And this Fallen Dragon Valley was in a very remote location, even somewhat off the beaten track!
Lin Ran found out from the map that there were only a few sparse villages in the vicinity of this Fallen Dragon Valley, and the nearest town was the one he was in at the moment.
“It should be about time!”
Lin Ran calculated the time he had taken that black bead.
The elder had explained that he couldn’t use his true qi within a day.
So at this moment, even after leaving the city, Lin Ran was still on foot and had not mobilised a single bit of his true qi.
Feeling that it was almost time, Lin Ran raised his hand and mobilised a strand of true qi from his body.
However, when this strand of true qi emerged along his fingertips.
Lin Ran’s entire body froze.
Only to see that his true qi had actually turned black, and his aura had changed from its previous harshness to a bizarre one that was simply inscrutable!
“This!”
Lin Ran’s heart was greatly alarmed, and he was busy mobilizing a new strand of true qi from it.
And this time, his own true qi had actually turned into an icy aura, and it was even a little bit sinister.
“Holy Sh*t!”
Lin Ran was shocked in his heart and hurriedly mobilized several more doses of true qi.
Following that, he realized that the true qi aura he mobilized each time was surprisingly completely different.
And the difference was so great that it didn’t even look like the aura that a person possessed!
“I get it!”
Suddenly Lin Ran dawned on him.
This a*sa*sination mission of the Sword Immortal Sect had always emphasized not revealing one’s identity and the identity of the Sword Immortal Sect.
So this black pillar should be used to conceal one’s identity and scent!
Thinking of this, Lin Ran busily took his mask out and snapped it onto his face.
Cultivators within the Immortal Realm were dressed up in any kind of costume, and wearing a mask dao wouldn’t arouse suspicion.
The most important thing was that his own aura was already completely different from before.
And every time he struck out his breath was changing.
This meant that no matter how many people one picked up, no one would ever think that the murderer was actually the same person!
“The Sword Immortal Sect deserves to be able to stand in the Immortal Realm for so many years, this tactic is really unpredictable!”
Lin Ran’s heart was thrilled, and without further ado, he mobilised his true qi and spread his divine wings in the direction of the Fallen Dragon Valley and hurried over.
The aura had all changed, and Lin Ran wasn’t afraid that others would covet his divine wings.
“Boss! When we find this Green Demon Snake Lady do you want us to take a shot?”
Wolf Ba asked from within the scroll space.
“No need!”
Lin Ran said.
“This mission is purely and simply for practice, if all goes well!”
“When it’s done, I’ll send you to the Wind Family!”
“The Wind Family? To where for what?”
Li Ba sniffed in confusion.
“Yes boss, what are we going to the Windy House for?”
Wolf Ba was also puzzled.
Lin Ran, however, said with a smile.
“You guys need to improve yourselves too, or else you’ll lose face when I catch up with you!
“I’m afraid I’ll be running around on this sword ranking mission for a long time!”
“You guys are just wasting your time following me, so you might as well go to the Feng Clan and improve your strength as soon as possible with the resources of the Feng Clan!”
“Understood!”
Wolf Ba and Li Ba were both smart people, so they naturally understood Lin Ran’s meaning.
Lin Ran’s cultivation talent was high, and it was only a matter of time before his strength rose.
But if he and Li Ba couldn’t keep up with their boss, it would be just like when they were on Earth.
There would be no help at all against the nine-winged bat dragon.
The same thing, they didn’t want to be in manager a second time.
That was why they didn’t refuse Lin Ran’s arrangement.
“Brother, there’s no need to cultivate if you’re small, Li and I will follow you here!”
Xiao Jiu said busily, she didn’t want to be separated from Lin Ran.
“Mmm!”
Lin Ran nodded and didn’t say much.
Xiao Jiu was the same demon stone indeed no need to be able to cultivate, the stronger Lizzy was, the stronger Xiao Jiu’s strength would naturally improve along with it.
Therefore, Lin Ran had never asked Xiaojiu to cultivate as well.
As long as this girl was happy, he would be satisfied!
The group chatted as they hurried along, and soon a plain appeared ahead of Lin Ran.
The plain was vast, and the further ahead there was a raised hill.
The hill seemed to be a barrier, separating the plain from the basin.
Standing on the hill only at this moment, Lin Ran saw.
In front of him was a basin with a very gentle slope.
And in the middle of the basin there was a valley with gnarled trees.
“The Valley of the Fallen Dragon! Here it is!”
Lin Ran had excitement in his eyes.
A full day’s rush had finally arrived.
Seeing that it was already a little dark, Lin Ran headed towards the nearest village.
He was going to rest for the night and move on tomorrow, and at the same time, he was going to inquire about this Green Demon Snake Woman.
The villagers in the village were very simple, so Lin Ran found the village’s old man, Wu, who often went out to deliver goods, and promised to give him a Heavenly Origin Crystal to stay overnight at his house!
When he saw how generous Lin Ran was, he was not an ordinary person, so he greeted him with good wine and food.
However, there was no decent food and wine in this poor countryside, so Lin Ran was not a picky eater.
Wu was a lonely man who made his living by transporting timber to nearby towns.
As they drank and talked, Lin Ran asked.
“Elder Wu, what’s going on in this nearby Fallen Dragon Valley? Do you know about it?”
“Fallen Dragon Valley? I know it too well!”
Elder Wu became interested as soon as he heard Lin Ran bring up the topic.
One would be lonely after living alone for a long time, so it was easy to have a youth to chat with, so naturally Elder Wu knew everything.
It turned out that when he was young, Old Wu was a good hunter in the village.
He often hunted in the Valley of the Fallen Dragon, which used to have an empty name, and there was no danger in it at all, except for some weak magical beasts.
Even the children dared to swim and play in it.
But then something happened that completely turned the Valley of the Fallen Dragon into a forbidden place for the surrounding villages.
Even Wu Lao was scourged and is still a bachelor to this day!
Old Man Wu wasn’t technically that old, only about fifty, an age that wasn’t really that old in the Immortal World!
As long as he had the money to buy two cultivation techniques and train his body refining stage properly, he would have no problem living to 200 years old!
Lin Ran was very curious and asked at once.
“Elder Wu, what exactly is going on? Even if the Fallen Dragon Valley is dangerous, there’s no need for you to remain a bachelor!”
