Yinshan Record

Chapter 646 A Boat Straight into the Desolate Land (Part 2)
The Incense Master of the Su Nu Dao left decisively, flying directly onto the Star Chariot. Su Che watched from afar as the Star Chariot gradually rose into the sky, breaking through the nine layers of heavenly energy and emitting a dazzling light, like a shooting star that blasted a hole in the surrounding night.

No wonder they couldn't be sent to Wushi City; with that kind of style, they'd probably attract a lot of trouble.

As Su Che was sighing, a timid voice suddenly came from the side.

"Immortal, was that your wife just now?"

Turning my head, I noticed a tiny head popping out of the grass beside me.

It was a boy, wearing a cotton-padded coat made of sheepskin. His face was flushed red from the sun, and he was looking at me with curiosity.

Su Che looked him up and down.

This is a mortal.

"Baby, what's your name?"

"My name is Huang Lai'er."

The little boy is chubby-cheeked and has a lively and energetic spirit.

"What, do you want to learn immortal techniques from me?"

“I won’t learn it. My mother said that if I learn magic, I won’t be able to get married.”

"Then I won't learn it."

Su Che looked at Huang Lai'er in the grass and asked.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

"Catch the rabbit."

Huang Lai'er shook her little head and said, "Immortal, are you going to Wushi City?"

"do not know."

Su Che gazed in the direction of Wushi City in the distance, wondering where to find the Yin-Yang Dharma King and the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor.

This trip was completely out of the blue.

"Then come home with me first. My mother's porridge is delicious."

Huang Lai'er said very enthusiastically.

"Aren't you catching rabbits anymore?"

Su Che gestured to his surroundings.

"Let's stop arresting them, since we can't raise enough for the blood tax anyway."

Huang Lai'er stretched and said, "I've caught all the rabbits around here. Besides, even if I send rabbits up, the officials might not accept them."

Su Che waved his hand when he heard this.

"I don't eat porridge."

"what?"

“I’ve been eating too much soft food lately, I want to switch to something firmer.”

Su Che ignored him and took to the air, flying directly towards the direction of Wushi City.

The kid was left on the ground, staring blankly at Su Che's escape light.

"This is truly meeting an immortal."

Huang Lai'er remained where she was, muttering to herself.

Su Che rode his escape light and soon arrived near the city gate of Wushi City. The city looked very majestic from a distance, but a thick layer of yin energy shrouded the city walls.

The yin energy gathered into clouds, like an umbrella, directly blocking the sunlight from reaching outside the city.

At the city gate stood a group of warriors clad in plain white iron armor, their faces covered with iron masks. However, the aura of death emanating from them was so thick that even ordinary people could sense something was wrong.

As for the pedestrians entering and leaving the city, they were a mix of cultivators and ordinary people, and none of them had a good omen on their faces.

However, the words "Wuzhong City" were written on the city gate.

Su Che observed from a distance and felt that the city was shrouded in an aura of death.

Could it be that the old ghost ancestor of Beimang has already sent his ghost soldiers to occupy this place, and then the old yin-yang master has resumed his old ways here, closing the door and calling himself king again?

Several thoughts flashed through my mind, but then a voice rang out beside me.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar."

Su Che turned his head, feigning surprise. In reality, Su Che had already seen the boy's trail. The boy had just seen him coming from beyond the heavens and carefully circled out from inside the city gate, cautiously approaching Su Che's side.

If this guy weren't so clumsy, Su Che would have mistaken him for an assassin.

"Your Excellency is..."

"I am Zhao Qian of the Tiger Roar Hall, with a cultivation level of Upper Divine Realm, and I am temporarily serving as the Deputy Hall Master of the Tiger Roar Hall."

Zhao Qian was very imposing, tall and strong, with a pair of bright phoenix eyes. He wore a light blue armor and looked more like a military officer than a cultivator.

"Zuo Lengchan, having reached the lower level of the Elixir of Immortality, has established himself as the pivotal figure

Su Che didn't need to suppress his cultivation with the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique. In such a chaotic place, he could simply reveal his cultivation level, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"I feel quite at ease with Fellow Daoist Zuo. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zuo would be interested in visiting our sect for a while?"

Zhao Qian's enthusiasm made Su Che sense that something was amiss.

Are all the monks from these seventy-two countries this enthusiastic?

Or is this person the Ghost Ancestor of Beimang arranged to meet him here?

That makes sense. After all, many things within the Zhongshan Society are shady, and I've come here under a different name, so naturally...

"Is Fellow Daoist Zhao a local?"

Su Che asked directly.

"A true local."

"May I ask, why is the gate here labeled 'City of No End,' while everyone else calls it 'City of No Beginning'?"

"Because they can't read."

Zhao Qian had a slight smile on his lips.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, I was just joking. Actually, it's quite simple. It used to be called Wuzhong City, but in recent decades it has been renamed Wushi City. People are forgetful, so they gradually forgot the original name, and even the original signboard has not been changed."

There's no such simple logic.

"I'm afraid Brother Zhao's Tiger Roar Hall is having a tough time, isn't it?"

Su Che went straight to the point and asked.

"What does Brother Zuo mean?"

"They went everywhere seeking help, even to the point of losing their composure and randomly leading people into the gang."

Su Che directly pointed out Zhao Qian's sore spot: there was only one possibility that he dared to lead an unknown Core Formation cultivator into his own sect.

That means the Tiger Roar Hall is almost falling apart.

With destruction looming, Zhao Qian had reached the point of desperate measures.

"What you mean is that once I travel with you, we'll most likely run into some enemies or rivals. Whether it's verbal sparring or old grudges, once the two sides start fighting, I'll be dragged into your mess."

Su Che gave a cold smile.

"If I don't cooperate with you then, the other companies won't trust me either. Isn't that right?"

Unless this person surnamed Zhao was sent by the Yin-Yang Dharma King, he is definitely not a good person.

"It really can't be hidden from Brother Zuo."

Zhao Qian was also single, so he simply cupped his hands in greeting.

"Then consider it an offense to Brother Zuo, please..."

"fart."

Su Che waved his hand, and a wave of yin energy immediately rose up, making Zhao Qian feel cold all over. Before he could react, Su Che had already grabbed his throat with one hand.

"You think you can just laugh it off? Are you new to the ways of the world?"

Without saying a word, Su Che launched a Moon Serpent Shadow Seal directly at the target.

A sharp pain burst forth from the depths of his being, and Zhao Qian cried out in agony, his body writhing as if it were a maggot.

"Immortal, Immortal, spare my life..."

"You're not calling me 'brother' anymore? If my skills weren't up to par, wouldn't I have fallen into your trap?"

This damn Wushi City looks so weird no matter how you look at it.
