My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 453 Run

In the underground secret room.

Shen Yan noticed Chen Mu's cold gaze and his mind raced.

The person in front of me is at most a Yin soldier at the Mingxin realm. I don’t know what kind of supernatural power he has awakened, that he can surpass a whole realm and control my Yin spirit at the Divine Embryo realm.

Just then, Chen Mu flipped his right hand, and a ball of pitch-black flame the size of a human head, which looked violent and unruly at first glance, suddenly appeared.

Nine Netherworld Azure Flames?!
This bastard really wants to kill me?!
"Lan Zhang has defected to the Underworld Demon Heaven and is cultivating the Blood Scripture. He wants to devour all the Yin spirits of the Hai Character Camp." He immediately explained the crisis in the camp to attract Chen Mu's attention.

"Blue Seal wants to devour all the Yin Spirits?!"

No wonder they've been keeping the Hai camp under blockade; they're treating it like a granary!

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu paused, holding the Azure Flame in his hand.

Scared? Good, it's good to be scared!
My chance to live has come!

Shen Yan hurriedly said, "I have a way to overthrow Lan Zhang and return to the Underworld!"

Chen Mu immediately raised an eyebrow.

Remembering that the other party had once been a military supervisor, he couldn't help but believe him a little. He waved his hand to disperse the Nine Nether Azure Flames, stared at Shen Yan, and his expression was solemn.

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his life was spared.

He immediately began to coax him: "I have a way to draw upon the power of the River of Oblivion, which can be used to seize the Soul-Summoning Banner and then overthrow the Blue Seal to save the Hai Character Camp."

"If successful, not only will they be able to save their own lives, but they will also gain a huge amount of military merits."

"The city lord is always generous; you can choose any secret techniques and precious medicines you need at that time."

As he spoke, he kept a close eye on Chen Mu. Seeing that Chen Mu's expression gradually softened, Shen Yan finally felt completely relieved.

It's done!

Not only did I not die, I also found a powerful ally!

"Listen to me, first build the secret chamber, then use your supernatural powers to control the auxiliary soldiers. As long as they follow my method to connect the River of Oblivion, we can kill Lan Zhang and turn defeat into victory!"

"With so much military merit right in front of you, what are you still hesitating for?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but nod.

Beside him, Shi Dechun also looked eager: "How about..."

"Let's run!"

Chen Mu nodded firmly.

"Run! Run tonight!"

Shen Yan: "..."

So all that talk I did was for nothing?

I meant overthrowing Lan Zhang and turning the tide of battle, not running away!
Shen Yan's face turned red with anger.

……

Late at night.

On the edge of the camp, underground, in a small, temporarily cleared space, a dense network of scarlet vines, resembling a blood vessel, blocked Chen Mu's way.

"You'd better not force your way in," Shen Yan said calmly. "This thing is connected to the Blood Cloud. As soon as someone touches it, Lan Zhang will know immediately."

Chen Mu frowned.

Upon learning of Lan Zhang's defection, his first thought was to leave the Haizi Camp immediately, but he did not expect that the underground area would also be sealed off.

So...flying?
"The entire camp is shrouded in shadow, covered by the power of some kind of special monster from the underworld. If you dare to fly into the sky, you will be discovered immediately."

"Even if you can control him, Lan Zhang is still behind you. Are you confident you can evade Lan Zhang's pursuit?" Shen Yan chuckled with a hint of schadenfreude.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yan involuntarily jumped up, did a split in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a thud, completely stunned.

Laugh, laugh, laugh! What the hell are you laughing at?!
Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan, who looked completely bewildered, and his expression grew even more unpleasant.

This Lan Zhang really treated the Yin Spirits of the Hai Character Camp as a granary?

I've only had a few days of peace and quiet, how did I end up in such big trouble?
What bad luck...

……

Chen Mu explored several directions underground, but all were blocked by blood-red vines.

They then used the method of listening to investigate the camp and indeed discovered something strange in the shadows.

Despite being pitch black, there was a vibrant life force emanating from within, clearly indicating that something was hidden there. It was much like the ability of the original owner of Thousand Lantern City to control shadows.

"This is troublesome!"

The three returned to the secret room.

Chen Mu's face was gloomy.

Shi Dechun remained silent.

I told you long ago that Hai Camp was a prison, now you've given up hope, right?
Shen Yan felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged; he didn't want to do the splits again.

After a while, seeing that the atmosphere remained silent, Shen Yan couldn't help but whisper, "Lan Zhang has a firm grip on the Hai Battalion, so it's unlikely that he can escape quietly."

"Besides the Blood Nerve, the most important thing that could be used to set up such a net of heaven and earth is the Soul-Summoning Banner."

"As long as we seize the Soul-Summoning Banner, we can greatly weaken his power, and then escaping from the Hai-character Camp will not be difficult."

"Should we confront Lan Zhang head-on?" Chen Mu felt a sense of repulsion.

He has always loved peace and hated fighting and killing.

Shen Yan was overjoyed and shook his head repeatedly: "No need, no need. As long as you dig a few secret rooms to hide the auxiliary soldiers I have gathered, and work together to communicate with the underworld, the plan will succeed."

Shen Yan could tell that the two people in front of him were very timid and would definitely not do anything that was too dangerous.

He had to control his tone and expression, making the whole process sound as understated as possible, and avoiding mentioning overthrowing Lan Zhang, only saying that he was escaping the Hai-character camp to get away from danger. This would get the two to act, and once they started... heh heh...

Shen Yan tried hard to suppress the turbulent thoughts in his heart and keep his eyes calm to prevent the two people in front of him from seeing through his thoughts.

Seeing that Chen Mu's expression was still hesitant, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

What a coward!
Since that's the case, I'll give you even more determination!

He immediately spoke softly, "I can discover the secret room. Do you think Lan Zhang will discover it too?"

Chen Mu's expression finally changed drastically.

He turned to look at Shi Dechun: "What do you think?"

Shi Dechun was about to offer some advice when he stopped abruptly. After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath and suppressed his distracting thoughts: "It sounds good, but..."

"But I always felt that this Supervisor Shen's tone changed too quickly, and his mind was too sharp; he didn't seem like an honest man!"

Chen Mu chuckled softly.

Shen Yan remained calm: "Can you guarantee that the secret room won't be discovered by Lan Zhang?"

"Taking action early will make everyone safer."

is it?

Chen Mu's lips curled up.

If they were to dig tunnels throughout the camp to gather auxiliary soldiers, the risk of exposure would increase dramatically.

Shen Yan's method might allow him to return to the Underworld, but it's more likely to attract Lan Zhang's attention, at which point conflict would be unavoidable.

This guy is still trying to trick me into helping him overturn the blue seal!
tsk...

If all you have is the ability to dig a secret room, then this is really the only way to do it.

What a pity... what a pity we have the Thousand Lanterns City Grotto!

With a thought, a dark vortex suddenly appeared between his brows. A tremendous pulling force enveloped the secret chamber, and Shi Dechun and Shen Yan were instantly pulled into the vortex.

Chen Mu himself transformed into a ball of black light, which spun and collapsed towards his brow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In the small courtyard of Qiandeng City.

A flash of black light appeared, and three figures emerged.

Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan, who had lost his balance and fallen to the ground.

"If we can find it in the secret room, what about here?"

"I refuse to believe that the blue seal could detect it across the void!"

Shen Yan's expression changed involuntarily.

I miscalculated!

……

Thousand Lights City, in the small courtyard.

Chen Mu and the other two sat around the stone table.

Shi Dechun was very curious about Qiandeng City, turning his head to look at it from left to right.

After a long while, he looked away in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I think I should stay outside. We need to understand some of the changes in the Hai-character camp, right?"

Chen Mu nodded upon hearing this.

While hiding in Thousand Lanterns City is certainly safe, if one is unaware of the changes in the Hai-character camp, one may inevitably miss the opportunity to take the correct action.

With a thought, a white lantern at the edge of the courtyard floated to Shi Dechun's side.

"Take this soul-guiding lamp; I have infused it with the divine power of the Thousand Lanterns City."

"In case of emergency, use the power of the Yin Spirit to ignite it, and I will be able to pull you into the City of Thousand Lanterns through it."

Shi Dechun accepted it with a look of delight, then chuckled obsequiously, "We have a deep friendship that has lasted since we came together from the River of Oblivion. If something unexpected really happens outside, you can't be careless or delay when you take action!"

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I will always keep an eye on this soul-guiding lamp, don't worry."

Shen Yan, who was also observing Thousand Lantern City, came to his senses at this moment. He sighed with a complicated expression, "I never thought that your supernatural power could connect to a cave heaven. I wonder what kind of demon god your Yin spirit is. You are really lucky."

"The true form of the Yin spirit? What is that?"

Chen Mu was drawn to the content of Shen Yan's words. After all, he had only been in Yinming for a short time and did not have a sufficient understanding of the cultivation path in Yinming.

“Yin spirits are born with a supernatural foundation, which is a gift from the Yin and Yang realms.” Shen Yan did not hide anything and explained carefully.

"When the foundation is integrated into the origin of the Yin spirit and manifests, it is called the Ghost Pattern Talisman Seed, also known as Enlightenment and Seeing the Divine."

"Then comes the return to the source, nurturing the foundation into a divine embryo, and then cultivating step by step until one becomes a Yin God."

"The foundation of supernatural powers mostly comes from extraterrestrial demons, and the Yin spirits cultivated are also closely related to these extraterrestrial demons."

"The extraterrestrial demon that the foundation points to is the true form of the Yin God."

Chen Mu understood.

So, my true form as a Yin spirit is the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage?
"Aren't you thinking of provoking me to go after Lan Zhang now?" Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan.

“With Thousand Lanterns City here, you are safe and sound. No matter how much I say, you won’t take any action, so there’s no need to waste my breath.” Shen Yan shrugged.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

Shi Dechun is right.

This guy is really smart, and his understanding is quite clear.

If you want peace of mind, you really need to keep the Yama Emperor's Decree by your side.
