Chapter 98

  Finally got rid of those two troublesome guys, Lin Ruolan suddenly felt that her world had become much clearer; Hehe... The sky is very blue, the flowers are very beautiful; Even the air seems to be exceptionally clear.

  Lin Ruo Lan took a glance at the jade pendant in her hand, which was a token left by Shui Tian Heng before they parted ways. Unlike the previous piece of white jade pendant, this one in Lin Ruo Lan's hand was a dragon-shaped jade pendant that represented the identity of an imperial prince.

  According to Shui Tianhao himself, every imperial son would be given a dragon-shaped jade pendant representing his identity when he was recorded in the Jade Register.

  The dragon-shaped jade pendant in Lin Ruolan's hand was the one that Emperor Wansui gave to him personally when he was young and hung it around his neck; The dragon-shaped jade pendant, which has never left his body, is a completely different concept from the sheep fat white jade pendant mentioned earlier; They cannot be mentioned on the same day.

  When they were about to part ways, Shui Tianhao handed over the dragon-shaped jade pendant that he had never left his side to Lin Ruolan's hand; and promised her that with this dragon-shaped jade pendant, he would promise Lin Ruolan three things; as long as it wasn't a matter of betraying the country, he would help Lin Ruolan achieve them; of course, that referred to things within his power.

  Shui Tianhao wasn't a fool, he had known for a long time that Lin Ruolan was still young; however, the other party should be someone like Guoshi Chisongzi - a cultivator!

  "This is a good thing, the three promises of the future emperor; although Lin Ruolan herself can't use it, but for her family members Lin Ruhai, Old Master Lin, and Madame Lin who are in the mortal world; it's indeed a lifesaving treasure, not inferior to the Golden Card of Amnesty, the Iron Certificate of Dan Book, or whatever!"

  She casually put the dragon-shaped jade pendant into her own space, Lin Ruolan took out the teleportation symbol and locked in Nanguo Town; after a flash of white light, the teleportation symbol was activated, and Lin Ruolan's figure had long since disappeared from the spot.

  What is this place?

  Lin Ruo Lan was a bit stunned as she looked around, wasn't she supposed to go to Nan Guo Town? Where did this teleportation symbol send her after all?

  Lin Ruo Lan found herself suddenly transported to the edge of a certain forest; just two meters away from her was a dense forest; the trees inside the forest were all giant trees as thick as water buckets that pierced the sky.

  What's even stranger is that the entire forest is shrouded in a layer of black, eerie energy; more accurately, it should be said that a large patch of black fog has enveloped the entire forest, causing it to be almost pitch-black despite being daytime.

  There was also a faint, almost imperceptible stench in the air that was spreading out wave after wave; apart from her own heartbeat, Lin Ruolan surprisingly couldn't hear any other sounds; not even the wind could be heard, only an eerie silence; it was so quiet that it was a bit frightening.

  I'm going to wipe you out!

  What the hell is this place? Lin Ruo Lan almost cursed out loud, fortunately she held back and didn't swear; she just silently cursed in her heart, then carefully began to snoop around.

  Lin Ruo Lan had one thing that could be determined, the destination she initially set was Nan Guo Town; so now her current location should not be far from Nan Guo Town.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Ruolan opened up her spiritual sense; 500 meters... 1,000 meters... 2,000 meters... Lin Ruolan's spiritual power radiated out layer by layer, starting from the initial 500 meters; all the way to almost 10,000 meters away, Lin Ruolan finally felt a faint breath.

  Unfortunately, it's unclear whether the black fog in this place is causing trouble. Lin Ruolan can only detect a faint aura; her divine sense has encountered a major problem since she started cultivating.

  She couldn't even use her spiritual sense to see the situation within tens of miles, to put it simply; that is to say, Lin Ruolan's ears could hear it now, but her eyes can no longer see it; uh... Of course! This is just an analogy.

  This kind of situation, Lin Ruolan encountered for the first time since she cultivated her spiritual consciousness; what's going on with Nima? What's the situation with Ziyue again?

  After a brief panic, Lin Ruolan quickly calmed down; in such a situation, wanting someone to come and rescue herself was undoubtedly an unrealistic fantasy; since it was like this, if she wanted to leave here safely, she had no choice but to rely on herself to self-rescue.

  After the previous exploration, Lin Ruolan had already determined that she should have entered the outskirts of Nanguo Town. As for where she was now, she estimated that it should be the place called Heifenglin that Sima San Niang had mentioned to her before.

  In other words, the territory where this kid is staying should be; there are no living things in the fifty-mile radius of Sima San Niang's mouth, on the territory of the thousand-year-old tree demon Hei Shan Lao Lao.

  Lin Ruo Lan's original faint fear in her heart had long since disappeared; instead, she felt a hint of excitement, hehe... Black Mountain Granny, the Black Mountain Granny from The Legend of the White Snake; so this is where Black Mountain Granny appears?

  Sister, what's wrong with you? We've already arrived at Hei Shan Lao Lao's place, why are you still so excited? What do you want to do?

  Fortunately, Lin Ruolan did not lose her head and after a brief excitement, she quickly regained her composure and began to think carefully about how she could safely leave the Black Wind Forest and enter Nanguo Town.

  Lin Ruolan quickly made up her mind, and after slightly confirming the direction of the faint breath she had detected earlier, she planned to use the Wind Control Technique to leave this place. However, a new problem arose soon after she started circulating her Qi; Lin Ruolan discovered that the spiritual energy within her body was showing signs of weakening.

  "The black fog here is actually a devouring spirit energy, the mysterious yin death energy. Isn't Qingwei old Daoist saying that this mysterious yin death energy has been extinct for many years? How can it be seen here?" Lin Ruolan exclaimed in surprise, but her heart couldn't help but secretly become anxious.

  Xuān yīn sǐ qì gù míng sī yì, tā shì sǐ qì de yī zhǒng; bú guò gēn yì bān de sǐ qì bù yí yàng de shì, xuān yīn sǐ qì kě yǐ tūn shì xiū liàn zhě shēn shàng de líng qì; yán zhòng zhě huì líng qì bèi tūn shì de gān gān jìng jìng, měi gè xiū liàn zhī rén shēn tiān lǐ de líng qì dōu shì fēi cháng de yǒu xiàn; yí dàn líng qì bèi tūn shì de gān gān jìng jìng de huà, chéng wéi yī míng fèi rén nà zhǐ shì fēn fēn zhōng de shì qíng; kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng chū lái, zhè shì yī jiàn duō me máo zhòng de shì qíng.

  Although Lin Ruolan has the super cheat device "space" on her body, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming less and less; adhering to the idea that she will not waste anything that can be used, Lin Ruolan still does not want to waste more time on these fearless things.

  Lin Ruolan cast a Wind Control Technique and used her divine sense to guide herself to where she had discovered signs of life.

  Damn it!

  Mo Jun Qi Ye raised his head to look at the top of his own head, but it was all dark and he couldn't see anything clearly; in his heart, he couldn't help but curse the heavens again.

  This time, Mo Jun Qi Ye left the Yin Yue Imperial Court because he received Nie Xiaoqian's distress message; plus, Mo Jun Qi Ye had already planned to come out and find his destined Sheng Hou - Lin Ruolan!

  This time Nie Xiaoqian's matter was originally just a lead, Mo Jun Qi happened to have an excuse to leave the Yin Yue Imperial Court alone.

  Even if Mo Jun's heart was mostly perfunctory towards Nie Xiaoqian, after all, Nie Xiaoqian had called him "Seventh Brother" for over a decade; just looking at this point alone, Mo Jun wouldn't be able to ignore Nie Xiaoqian.

  So Mo Jun's first thing to do after leaving the Yin Yue Imperial Court for seven nights was to find Nie Xiaoqian and see what had happened to her.

  It turned out that after Nie Xiaoqian took the Blue Demon's Tears and left the Yin Yue Imperial Court, this little fox spirit who had never left the Yin Yue Imperial Court half a step; also didn't know what was going on? Was it the result of fate or the reversal of the plot by the drama master?

  After turning around in a big circle, Nie Xiaoqian unexpectedly stumbled into the outskirts of Nanguo Town; however, she was unlucky and was caught by the demon girl occupying Lanruo Temple because she accidentally entered the temple.

  Nie Xiaoqian was caught for a few days, and at first, she didn't think of escaping due to the novelty; later, when Nie Xiaoqian got bored and wanted to leave, she discovered that she wasn't even a match for Mei Ji; uh... it should be said that Mei Ji never took Nie Xiaoqian seriously.

  Three times she had attempted to escape, and three times she had failed. Nie Xiaoqian was not in a hurry; but one day when she accidentally met a young scholar named Ning Caichen, things began to undergo a series of subtle changes.

  Mei Ji was originally a spider spirit that had been practicing for hundreds of years, and she usually relied on absorbing human essence to cultivate; if Ning Caichen was caught by Mei Ji, there would only be one outcome; that is, becoming the pastry in Mei Ji's plate.

  It is said that when a person is ill, they will seek help from any doctor. Nie Xiaoqian felt that she might have fallen in love with Ning Caichen; naturally, she did not want Ning Caichen to die, so a letter for help was sent out using the special methods of the Yin Yue Imperial Court.

  The way the Yin Moon Imperial Court delivered messages was quite special, and Nie Xiaoqian was extra careful with every move this time. Even with Mei Ji's cultivation, she didn't notice anything unusual about Nie Xiaoqian, allowing her to successfully deliver the message.
