The Lone Walker

In that land shrouded in the shadow of war, the Pingshan area in western Hunan appears particularly deep and mysterious.

The ancient temple is located in the valley, surrounded by towering ancient trees. It seems to be a witness of time, quietly telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past.

Chen Fan, the traveler from another world, possesses the supreme cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal. At this moment, he is sitting alone on the stone steps of the temple, gazing deeply into the distance.

As night fell, the stars disappeared behind the thick clouds. A sudden rainstorm poured down, and the raindrops hit the eaves of the temple, making a crisp sound. Chen Fan closed his eyes and meditated. The Qi in his body flowed freely, forming an invisible protective shield to isolate the rain. However, just as he was immersed in this tranquility, an unusual breath quietly approached.

A civet cat that had cultivated into a spirit was moving around in the rainy night. Its eyes were flashing green light, and it keenly caught the breath of the living in the temple. This civet cat was not an ordinary one. Its teeth were as sharp as knives, enough to easily tear the flesh of its prey. It approached silently, ready to launch a fatal attack on Chen Fan.

However, just as the raccoon opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Chen Fan, a powerful force suddenly erupted around Chen Fan's body, rebounding all of the raccoon's attacks. The raccoon's teeth shattered the moment they touched Chen Fan's skin, and the severe pain made it scream.

"Who are you, monster? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!" Chen Fan opened his eyes, his voice was as cold as ice, and his gaze pierced the civet cat like a sharp sword.

The civet cat rolled on the ground in pain, spitting blood foam from its mouth. It looked at Chen Fan in horror, realizing that it had provoked an invincible existence.

"Have mercy... sir... I'm ignorant and have offended you..." The raccoon cat begged for mercy with its last bit of strength, its voice filled with fear and despair.

Chen Fan looked at it coldly. After a moment, he raised his palm slightly, and a gentle force wrapped around the civet cat, sending it into reincarnation.

"Go, and may you no longer do evil in your next life." There was a hint of compassion in Chen Fan's words, and his figure looked even more lonely and arrogant in the rain.

As the civet cat disappeared, the rain outside the temple became more and more violent, with lightning and thunder, as if it was a grand baptism between heaven and earth. Chen Fan stood in front of the temple gate, his eyes penetrating the rain curtain, he knew that the people from Xiling led by Chen Yulou were about to arrive.

Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the rain, and Chen Yulou led a group of strong men wearing straw raincoats and holding torches into sight. Their steps were firm and powerful, and although the rain soaked their clothes, their eyes were burning with an inextinguishable fighting spirit.

"Is that Brother Chen Yulou in front?" Chen Fan asked loudly, his voice clearly audible amid the sound of rain.

Chen Yulou looked up and saw Chen Fan in front of the temple. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Chen Yulou. May I ask your name?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly and replied, "I am Chen Fan, and I have been waiting for you all for a long time."

The two looked at each other and could feel the extraordinary aura of each other. A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Yulou's eyes. He didn't expect to meet such a master in this desolate mountain.

"Brother Chen, why are you waiting here? I wonder what can I do for you?" Chen Yulou asked curiously.

Chen Fan said calmly, "I heard that Brother Chen is the descendant of the art of moving mountains and removing hills. This time he came to Pingshan to search for the legendary treasure. Although I am not an expert in this art, I am quite interested in ancient tombs and ruins, and I am willing to lend a helping hand to Brother Chen."

Chen Yulou's heart moved when he heard this. He knew that it was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, not to mention that the strength of Chen Fan in front of him was unfathomable.

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Chen. With your help, we are more confident about this trip." Chen Yulou said sincerely.

The two smiled at each other and then led everyone into the temple. In this ancient building, they will face unknown challenges together and uncover the secrets hidden deep in Pingshan Mountain. And this rain seems to indicate that the upcoming adventure will be an unprecedented test.
