Chapter 106: Disguise and Infiltration

Blood mist sprayed out, and the dead leaves on the ground were blown away, forming a huge fan-shaped empty area.

Xu Hongchang and the few men and women in black around him stood at the edge of this empty area, shrinking their necks and not saying a word.

In the dense forest, Xiao Changsheng's begging and wailing sounded from time to time, making them reveal fear and reverence. At the same time, they subconsciously felt a little happy.

It turned out that the begging of a Tough Realm cultivator before death was no different from that of a normal person.

Xu Hongchang looked around. He could feel the people around him glancing at him from time to time.

However, he could not figure it out either. He could not believe that the empty area that extended dozens of feet under his feet was punched out by Senior Brother Lin just now.

It had only been a few months since they parted.

…..

Soon, the movements in the dense forest stopped abruptly, and everyone trembled.

Not long after, Lin Yan walked out calmly.

"Senior Brother Lin." Xu Hongchang hurriedly went forward, and the few people behind him followed respectfully.

Lin Yan nodded. "Why are you here?"

Xu Hongchang smiled bitterly. "It's a long story…"

Ever since that incident two months ago, the entire Ding'an City was in a state of panic. The situation was very bad.

After Xu Hongchang returned to Changqiu District, he encountered a gang war in less than seven days. His gang was completely disbanded and the gangsters fled.

Xu Hongchang, on the other hand, was lucky enough to survive. In order to make a living, he applied to a small escort agency in Huayue District called the Yue's and became a bodyguard to earn some hard money.

Today, they had accepted the order. The chief escort personally led the team to deliver rice, noodles, and other supplies to the Void Fist Sect stationed in the Guangchuan Mountain Range. After delivering the supplies, he was stopped by these people on the way back and suffered a calamity.

Lin Yan pointed at the few yellow-robed and gray-robed disciples lying on the ground. "They're from the Void Fist Sect. They're thinking of a way to resolve the poison of the poisonous fog in the mountain, so they deliberately asked you to send rice, noodles, and supplies for free. They also captured you as subjects for experimentation."

"So that's the case!"

Everyone's faces were filled with grief and indignation.

Lin Yan reached into his pocket, took out a cloth bag, and threw it to Xu Hongchang.

"Senior Brother Lin, this is…"

"I found it from that person. He said that it was the payment they originally gave you."

Xu Hongchang opened it and took a look. The bright yellow gold shone on his face, making his heart beat faster.

It was indeed the money that had been taken away after the Chief Escort died.

"Senior Brother Lin, this…"

"Bring it back and split it. I'm staying in the mountains now. 1 don't need it."

Xu Hongchang's expression changed. In the end, he bowed with tears in his eyes. "Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."

"Just go back. The situation is chaotic now. Hoard more supplies and don't run around if there's nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Senior Brother Lin, please wait a moment!"

Xu Hongchang stopped Lin Yan and leaned closer to whisper, "Senior Brother Lin, you should be very familiar with Senior Sister Chen Yuan from the Dragon Yard, right?" "What's wrong?"

Xu Hongchang said solemnly, "I saw her today. She's inside the Guangchuan Mountains!"

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he subconsciously recalled the farewell outside the Chen residence that day. "She came in too?"

Xu Hongchang said in a deep voice, "I was passing by the camp of a large faction when 1 accidentally saw her. It was near the Void Fist Sect. Moreover…"

He recalled, "I feel that she didn't stay there willingly, but was under house arrest."

Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly. "Near the Void Fist Sect… 1 understand. Let's go."

"Senior Brother Lin, you have to be careful. That faction is definitely not weaker than the Void Fist Sect. It's said that there's a Noble Realm martial master guarding it!"

"Let's go back."

As his figure flashed, Lin Yan disappeared at the end of the mountain path like a blurry shadow.

A trace of worry flashed in Xu Hongchang's eyes. He did not know if it was good or bad to tell Senior Brother Lin this news.

Unknowingly, his pace became faster.

The green forests and mountains beside him were pulled into blurry gray-green lines, and he left them far behind.

After a detailed interrogation, he roughly outlined the layout of the various large factions near the poisonous fog from the mouth of the third personal disciple of the Void Fist Sect, Xiao Changsheng.

Due to the fact that the Green Fog Sea occupied a huge area, most of the forces in Ding'an City were stationed more than ten miles away from each other. They occupied areas with abundant water sources and geographical advantages and minded their own business.

Among them, there were a total of six factions with the greatest forces. Each faction had at least two Noble Realm martial masters guarding them.

The Void Fist Sect was one of the six. Moreover, it was connected to the Song family, another large faction among the six. They were in-laws and cooperated with each other. They were considered the strongest among all the nearby factions.

The camp beside the Void Fist Sect that Xu Hongchang was talking about was probably the Song family.

In other words, the Void Fist Sect and the Song family had at least four Noble Realm martial masters guarding them, or even more.

Lin Yan couldn't help but recall the question he asked Xie Lingyan yesterday about how strong a Noble Realm martial master was.

"The noble in the Noble Realm carries the meaning of heroism.

"Those who enter the Noble Realm can break steel and strike iron, shatter gold and jade, and fight a thousand alone. They can be said to be human-shaped dragons or elephants.

"Compared to the Tough Realm, the greatest characteristic of the Noble Realm is not only that their strength has expanded to an inhuman level, but also that their force can leave their bodies and injure people from afar."

The terrifying thing about the Noble Realm was that the force could leave the body. It was invisible and intangible. Compared to the Tough Realm, it was powerful to a whole new level.

"I wonder how big the gap between the current me and the Noble Realm is…"

Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks. His sharp ears quickly captured the noisy and distant voices.

"I'm here. This should be the direction."

Lin Yan walked slowly and hid in the dense forest, approaching step by step.

Soon, people could be seen. Two huge campsites that took up more than half of the valley appeared and stood side by side.

On the left, there were obviously more people, occupying three-quarters of the area. There were many tents, and the layout was neat. There were patrols walking back and forth outside.

There were fewer people on the right. They were all wearing green clothes, yellow robes, and gray robes. Clearly, this was the territory of the Void Fist Sect.

Lin Yan looked at the camp on the left. "Did the entire family move here?"

He even saw a group of children lucking shuttlecocks and fooling around.

The patrols coming and going were all wearing standard light leather armor. There was a Song character engraved on their chests, and the engraving was abnormally clear.

Senior Sister Chen had helped him a lot. If there was any danger, he had to save her.

Moreover, Senior Sister Chen might know what these large factions wanted to do. Perhaps she could provide him with some information.

He looked around.

Outside the camp on the left, there was a group of people dressed in black. They were waving their weapons and clearing the surrounding bushes wantonly. Clearly, they were trying to prevent anyone from approaching from the forest.

At this moment, a large area had been cleared. It was probably very difficult to sneak in silently.

On the other hand, the territory of the Void Fist Sect on the right was clearly much rougher and casual. The miscellaneous items inside were messy.

Although it was a little troublesome, it was clearly easier to infiltrate from the Void Fist Sect.

Lin Yan immediately circled around and hid in the bushes near the Void Fist Sect.

The disciples of the Empty Fist Sect had three levels.

After he waited for a moment, a gray-robed disciple bent his neck and crawled into the bushes, as if he wanted to relieve himself.

He had just unbuckled his belt when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and fainted.

A moment later, Lin Yan, who was dressed in gray, slowly walked out.

Lin Yan had previously asked Xiao Changsheng why they were wearing three different colors.

The yellow-robed were official disciples, while the gray-robed were servant disciples.

The Void Fist Sect had the most servant disciples. Their status was low and they were not valued at all. They were also not easy to discover.

Lin Yan looked around and restrained his aura. 1 le lowered his head and walked into the Void Fist Sect camp with small steps..

Chapter 107: Gray Robe, Yellow Robe, and Green Robe

As a gray-robed servant disciple, no one paid attention to him along the way, nor did anyone expose him. Lin Yan successfully went deep and passed through a gray tent.

Suddenly, a voice came from the tent. "Hey?!"

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended not to hear it and walked forward quickly.

"Hey, you! Stop!"

The voice became louder again. Lin Yan had no choice but to turn around.

"Come here!"

He walked to the side of the tent with small steps. In the tent in front of him, there was a half-naked man with his head raised high. Beside him was a pile of messy clothes and underwear, mixed with a yellow robe.

…..

"F*ck! Didn't you hear me just now!" The man cursed and pointed at the pile of dirty clothes on the ground. "Scram over and wash this pile of clothes!"

Lin Yan was speechless. He turned around and looked around. There weren't many people in the Void Fist Sect to begin with, and there were only two gray-robed disciples in the distance.

He sighed slightly and said, 'Til help you wash it now."

After saying that, he walked straight into the tent and put down the curtains on both sides of the tent.

"Quickly take it out…"

The voice stopped abruptly.

A few breaths later, Lin Yan opened the curtains and walked out again. He then lowered the curtains. The corpse was covered under the clothes and sealed with a blanket.

He continued to turn his head and walked towards the Song family camp on the left.

"I don't know if you're unlucky or I'm unlucky…"

Fortunately, no one disturbed him now.

After walking for a while, he passed by another tent.

"Hey, you, stop!"

"Do you hear me? Get over here!"

The corners of Lin Yan's eyes twitched slightly. He turned around again and came to a new tent.

It was another yellow-robed disciple.

With a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks, the man pointed at a colorful wooden bucket in the tent. "Go wash the toilet bucket for me! You have to wipe it clean… Oh right, remember to smoke it with fragrant leaves after you clean it. If I smell anything, I'll hold you responsible!"

Lin Yan glanced at the toilet bucket and opened his eyes. It was filled with excrement and too disgusting…

He sighed helplessly and walked into the tent.

A moment later, the yellow-robed disciple's head was pressed into the toilet bucket. Out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment but still didn't change into the yellow robe. The number of yellow-robed disciples in the Void Fist Sect was clearly lower, even fewer than in Dragon Gate Pavilion and Wei Yard. It was very easy for an unfamiliar face to be exposed.

He went out again. This time, he changed to taking a small path and did not pass in front of the tents. Along the way, he encountered fewer yellow-robed disciples. All of those he met were gray-robed.

"I should have learned from them earlier…"

He relaxed and quickly walked forward. He was walking past a remote empty space. There were a few copper pots in the middle and a lot of firewood piled up beside them.

"Hey, you! Stop!"

Lin Yan:"…"

He turned his head, his eyes unconsciously filled with killing intent.

The person who called out to him was another yellow-robed disciple. He was holding a large fish that weighed several catties. He was shocked by Lin Yan's angry look.

"Make fish soup…"

The figure in front of him suddenly flashed. The back of the yellow-robed disciple's head hurt and he instantly lost all consciousness. The live fish that was still flipping its mouth fell to the ground and kept flapping.

Not long after, the firewood pile swelled.

Lin Yan changed into a yellow robe and put on a wooden crown. He puffed out his chest and strode out.

If he wore the gray robe again, he was afraid that he would kill all the yellow-robed disciples of the Void Fist Sect along the way…

Now, no one would stop him, right?

After walking for a while, he could already see the Song family's camp.

"Hey, you! Stop!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded.

Lin Yan:"…"

This Void Fist Sect was simply inhumane!

This time, the person who called out to him was actually a disciple in green clothes. He was standing in an even more luxurious tent.

"Eh, you just advanced? Why haven't 1 seen you before?"

The green-robed man looked at Lin Yan. Just as Lin Yan was about to attack, he heard him say, "Newly promoted people have to be even more sensible! Come over and tidy up my tent!"

Lin Yan took a few steps forward, and a coquettish voice sounded in the tent. "Senior Brother! I'm not dressed yet!" "That's right, Senior Brother. How could you call someone over directly!"

In the obviously luxurious and spacious tent, on a large bed, two beautiful and seductive women were half naked. They grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around their breasts.

"What's there to be afraid of? He won't dare to look at you!"

The green-robed man glanced at Lin Yan disdainfully. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and clean it up!"

The corners of Lin Yan's mouth twitched. He could not help but say, "Clean up, clean up…"

He put down the tent again.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing gently. The door curtain was gently raised at an angle before falling.

Not long after, Lin Yan changed into a noble green robe and silver crown.

He finally understood that the infiltration method was wrong from the beginning! From the beginning, he should have directly killed a personal disciple and saved himself the trouble along the way.

This time, no one stopped him.

Although people looked at him in confusion from time to time, under Lin Yan's cold footsteps, no one dared to ask him.

He arrived at the Song family's camp without any obstruction.

The Song family's camp clearly had strict rules. Even at the border with the Void Fist Sect, there were a few people guarding it.

However, Lin Yan walked in with his head held high. They only took a look and did not stop him. However, another yellow-robed disciple who wanted to enter was stopped and asked for certification.

"As expected, i should have changed to green clothes from the beginning…"

After entering the Song family's camp, the atmosphere was completely different from that of the Void Fist Sect.

The residential, food, and training areas were clearly separated. Their tents were arranged in an orderly manner and were very strict. If the Void Fist Sect followed this arrangement, Lin Yan would not have been able to infiltrate so easily.

Therefore, the moment Lin Yan entered, many gazes would occasionally glance at him, sizing him up. Fortunately, no one stopped him.

Lin Yan didn't dare to be negligent. He chose a central path and looked straight ahead, pretending to have a clear goal as he walked straight ahead.

In fact, he glanced left and right from the corner of his eye.

After walking through about three-quarters of the area, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He had found her!

About two arrows away, in an area surrounded by fences, there were two tents side by side.

Chen Yuan was in front of one of the tents. She was wearing light blue embroidered clothes and was as beautiful as he remembered. She held her chin with one hand and sat on a rough round wooden stake. Her beautiful eyes were staring into the distance in a daze, like a beautiful ink painting.

However, there were two leather-armored warriors guarding the door outside the fence. No wonder Xu Hongchang said that Chen Yuan didn't volunteer.

Lin Yan stopped and changed directions, walking straight to the fence.

Initially, he thought that it would take some effort to enter.

Unexpectedly, the two leather-armored warriors guarding the door were only slightly stunned. "You… aren't Young Master Xiao?" "Huh?" "Nothing. Come in, come in."

The warriors in leather armor respectfully opened the door for him and invited him in.

Lin Yan found it strange and deliberately slowed down his footsteps, pricking up his ears.

The two leather-armored warriors behind him chatted in low voices.

"Why isn't it Young Master Xiao?" "That's normal. How can such a beautiful woman only have one fan?" "I'm afraid he's going to be chased out again." "I heard that there are two young masters in our courtyard who are interested in her. It's just that they don't dare to appear because of the rules." "I wonder who will keep such a peerless beauty in his tent in the end…"

…..

Lin Yan frowned slightly and heaved a sigh of relief. From the sound of it, Senior Sister Chen's current situation was not too bad.

He walked straight over.

Chen Yuan quickly noticed the approaching figure in green and her expression immediately drooped. "Xiao Changsheng! Didn't 1 tell you to get lost… Eh, Lin…"

Lin Yan quickly hinted with his eyes, and Chen Yuan quickly fell silent.

Her face was obviously filled with bright surprise. Even her melancholic skin instantly glowed.

Lin Yan gave her a look. Chen Yuan immediately understood and grabbed Lin Yan's hand. "Come in with me."

She pulled him into the tent and put down the door.

Outside the door, the two leather-armored soldiers were originally waiting to see Lin Yan make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, the moment the two of them met, this man was actually pulled into the tent by Chen Yuan and even the curtain was lowered!

For a moment, they looked at each other and let their imagination run wild.

In the tent, the refreshing fragrance of a woman wafted into his nose. The enclosed environment blocked out the sounds outside, leaving only the sound of their breathing.

Chen Yuan brought over two rough wooden stools and placed them side by side. She pulled Lin Yan to sit opposite her.

The area inside the tent was not big, so the two of them were very close to each other. Their legs could not stretch out, and their knees rubbed against each other's from time to time. It was quite intimate.

Fortunately, the two of them did not care about trifles. After chatting, Chen Yuan asked, "Junior Brother Lin, your clothes… Have you joined the Void Fist Sect?!"

Lin Yan shook his head. "i snuck over from the Void Fist Sect. 1 casually snatched someone's clothes."

Chen Yuan looked worried. "The master of the Void Fist Sect and his wife are both at the Noble Realm. The Song family is even more impressive. The three brothers of the patriarch are all at the Noble Realm! I know that your strength is comparable to the Tough Realm. It's… too dangerous for you to enter like this!" "Senior Sister Chen, don't worry. My strength has also improved. I snuck in carefully."

He said seriously, "i just heard the leather-armored guards outside. What's going on with Xiao Changsheng?"

Chen Yuan's face immediately revealed a hint of frustration as she rambled on.

Just as Lin Yan had expected, Xiao Changsheng happened to see Chen Yuan in the Song family's camp once. He was immediately shocked and started a crazy pursuit, annoying Chen Yuan.

"Fortunately, the Song family's rules are strict. Xiao Changsheng doesn't dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, I would really be in big trouble."

Lin Yan took out the wooden hairpin he had found on Xiao Changsheng and handed it to Chen Yuan.

"This is…" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "Why is the hairpin Xiao Changsheng took away from me with you?" "Senior Sister Chen, don't worry. Xiao Changsheng will never harass you again."

Chen Yuan's body trembled slightly. Since her eyes were filled with joy, she said, "Junior Brother Lin, you're really my lucky star." "Let's not talk about this anymore. Senior Sister Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Yuan was about to answer.

The curtain was suddenly opened.

A white-haired old woman held an ebony walking stick and rushed in shakily. She hit Lin

Yan's head.. "Lecher! Lecher! i'll beat you to death, you lecher!"

Chapter 108: Grandma Who Recognizes Ancient Characters

Lin Yan could tell the shock on Chen Yuan's face at a glance. Moreover, this ebony walking stick was soft and weak, so he didn't dodge. He only raised his arm and let the ebony walking stick fall.

With the Tough Force protecting his body, it could not hurt him at all.

"Grandma! Stop hitting him, Grandma!"

Chen Yuan hurriedly grabbed the old woman's arm to stop her from continuing to strike.

The old woman pulled Chen Yuan behind her and pointed her walking stick at Lin Yan. "Little Yuan'er, did this lecher bully you?"

"Grandma, you've got the wrong person. He's not Xiao Changsheng. Take a closer look."

"The wrong person?"

…..

The old woman stared at Lin Yan carefully with her turbid eyes and sized him up. "He's much more handsome and pleasing to the eye, but I can't be wrong about this green robe!"

After saying that, she raised her ebony walking stick and was about to smash it again.

"Grandma!"

After a while, the old woman finally understood that Lin Yan had nothing to do with Xiao Changsheng. The three of them sat down again.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is my grandmother. Grandma, this is the intelligent junior brother who taught me computing."

The old woman leaned on her walking stick and said, "Young man, you're in high spirits. You took the risk to come in. Are you here to look for my Little Yuan'er?"

"Yes, old senior."

"Good, very good. You came as soon as you heard that Little Yuan'er was in danger. You're much better than those silver spearheads who usually court her but are nowhere to be seen now, right, Little Yuan'er?"

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, yes, business is more important. Little Lin, how old are you this year?"

"Eighteen."

"You're a little young. Little Yuan'er is already 23 years old. However, you're both martial arts practitioners. It's nothing if you're four or five years apart."

"…Old senior?"

"Hey, why are you calling me old senior? Just like Little Yuan'er, you call me Grandma."

Lin Yan:"…"

"Grandma, what's this called serious business? You're really too much!" Chen Yuan, who had always been straightforward, clenched her fists tightly. Her cheeks were red as she pressed down on the old woman's hand.

She turned to Lin Yan and said, "My grandmother's surname is Xu. You might as well call her Elder Xu."

"Okay."

Actually, it was not impossible to call her Grandma…

"Didn't you ask me why 1 was here just now? Actually, I was forcefully invited' over by the Song family with Grandma."

"Why?"

Chen Yuan sighed and said, "It's all because of the ancient ruins in the Guangchuan Mountain Range. After the Dragon Gate Pavilion fell, our Chen family didn't have a Noble Realm cultivator and had no choice but to rely on the Song family to survive.

"The Song family heard that my grandmother could recognize some ancient words, so they forcefully 'invited' my grandmother over."

"Elder Xu can recognize ancient words?!" Lin Yan's eyes flashed.

"I'm old. When I was young, I liked to read some strange ancient books. As time passed, I had some insight into ancient words. I can't say that I know them, but I can guess 30 to 40% of them."

Lin Yan looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was rather embarrassed. "I've been following Grandma since I was young. She taught me a few ancient mathematics books and I was influenced by her. I also know a little about ancient words, so I wanted to help Grandma."

"Little Yuan'er is actually worried that I'm old and weak, so she came with me to take care of me. Although she can't help much, I understand her intentions."

Chen Yuan:"…"

She really thought that she could help!

Lin Yan said, "I see. I thought you were in danger."

Chen Yuan shook her head. "The Song family is famous for following the rules. Moreover, my family is still around. Grandma and 1 are here. Other than Xiao Changsheng, there's nothing else."

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the human skin engraved with countless small words. "To be honest, Senior Sister Chen, I've been exploring the ruins recently and happened to find this skin record. I wanted to ask someone to interpret it. I didn't expect to find you after searching for so long. Elder Xu, please guide me."

Chen Yuan took it and was slightly surprised. "Junior Brother Lin, where did you get this?"

"In a ruin."

"You're quite lucky. Now, the aristocratic families are buying these antiques wantonly. Just this one is worth more than a hundred taels of silver."

"Grandma."

Chen Yuan handed it over. After Elder Xu took it, she narrowed her eyes and read it word by word with difficulty.

As she looked, she said, "It's very similar. I should say, it's exactly the same."

"Elder Xu?"

"I'm saying that it's very similar to the human skin I saw previously. Previously, a few similar human skins were also discovered in the Guangchuan Mountains. I've seen one of them. The words engraved are almost identical, as if they were written by the same master."

"Elder Xu, are you able to recognize what's engraved on it?"

"I can't recognize all of them, but I can roughly guess. The two human skins are engraved with the same prayer."

"Prayer?"

Chen Yuan explained, "It's used to chant the names of gods. It's a prayer for the shaman to pray. It's similar to the essay chanted when the Buddhist meditates and prays to the Buddha.

Elder Xu pressed her fingers on the words on the human skin and said attentively, "There are many rare words in this prayer. 1 can only read the general meaning.

"This opening paragraph is probably a praise.

"Look at the first few words. The meaning should be close to that of the World Honored One, the Divine Buddha, the Sacred Emperor, and so on. They're all filled with praise.

"The last paragraph seems to be talking about a special ritual. The words that follow probably mean the body, eyes, and arms…

"After that, it seems to be about metamorphosis and rebirth. Also, this means that it's multiple.

"I guess it means that after a certain ritual, the body will undergo a transformation and obtain multiple powers? Or will it undergo a quantitative change?"

Elder Xu was guessing, but it was like a thunderclap in Lin Yan's ears.

His breathing instantly quickened, and his heart was in turmoil.

What he saw in the ruins was the Four-Eyed Eight-Armed Vajra. It was multi-eyed and had many hands!

Elder Xu continued to interpret. "What follows is another wave of praise. It's not much different from the previous ones. By the way, I recognize this word. The meaning of longevity is clipped here. It probably means that one can obtain an eternal life through a ritual?"

Eternal life…

Lin Yan recalled the open coffin, the Eight-Armed Vajra hanging on the roof of the chamber, and the old monk's wooden carving from a long time ago.

Eternal life…

The hair on his back stood on end.

"Eh? The last few words are completely different from the one I saw previously…"

Elder Xu seemed to have fallen into deep thought. Then, she said in half certainty and half disbelief, "Could this be a person's name?"

Chen Yuan said, "Grandma, are you saying that there are two different names at the back of the two human skins?"

"It's very likely. Carving words on the human skin is obviously a strange ritual. Perhaps the name in the end is the owner of this human skin."

As soon as he said this, Chen Yuan subconsciously touched her arm and felt a chill.

She glanced at Lin Yan and realized that he was deep in thought. She said, "Junior Brother Lin, what did you think of?"

Lin Yan said, "Senior Sister Chen, do you have a pen and paper here?"

"Wait a minute." Chen Yuan quickly found a pen and paper.

Lin Yan held a pen and paper and drew. His painting skills were naturally not good, but after reaching the Tough Realm, his control over his muscles and body increased greatly. He managed to draw the general physical characteristics of the Four-Eyed Eight-Armed Vajra.

"This is…"

Lin Yan said in a low voice, "I found this where I found this human skin. At that time…"

He briefly explained what he had seen and heard at that time.

Chen Yuan covered her arm and felt even more terrified. "Junior Brother Lin, why does what you said sound like a ghost story? Is that Four-Eyed Vajra dead or alive?"

…..

Lin Yan revealed a helpless expression. "It should be dead."

On the other hand, Elder Xu had been listening very seriously. "Interesting. Little Lin, recently, these large families seem to have listened to some orders and gathered here like bees. However, none of them have seen what you're looking at."

Lin Yan said, "Maybe I'm really lucky."

Elder Xu suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, can I reveal the information you mentioned to the Song family?"

The Chen family was now clinging to the Song family. If Elder Xu did not report it, she would probably be criticized.

However, Lin Yan's goal was to find out the truth of the ruins. He couldn't wait for the Song family to find out more information.

Naturally, he was not afraid of being exposed. "Of course, but don't mention my name."

"Alright, alright. Don't worry, I won't listen to your information for nothing. In the future, you'll know whatever the Song family knows."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Elder Xu."

"However, the Song family hasn't discovered much now. They only found a scripture engraved on the cave wall in a ruin. There's nothing else.

"There's nothing much to say about that scripture. Only the last signature reveals some information. 1 happen to recognize every word."

Elder Xu said softly, word by word, "By Monk Guan Shan, of the Heavenly Eye Temple.."

Chapter 109: Untitled (1)

Heavenly Eye Temple, Monk Guan Shan…

Since Senior Sister Chen was not in danger, Lin Yan was relieved and rushed to the mountains to explore the ruins.

Elder Xu told him that the next time he came, he didn't have to sneak in anymore. He could report the name "Chen Qingsong". She would tell the Song family and describe him as a member of the Chen family. He could enter directly to visit.

After bidding farewell to Senior Sister Chen and Elder Xu, Lin Yan still pretended to be a disciple of the Void Fist Sect and walked out with his head held high.

He silently recited the words "Heavenly Eye Temple" and "Monk Guan Shan" in his heart.

He had asked Elder Xu, but Elder Xu said that she did not know where this place was.

Lin Yan asked a few more questions and found out that even someone as knowledgeable as Elder Xu had read almost all the ancient books that were academic. There were no biographies, history books, or other records.

…..

It was obvious that someone had deliberately done this to cover up ancient history, but no one knew why.

Lin Yan couldn't help but recall the magnificent Holy Temple he had seen in the spiritual illusion.

He naturally did not tell Elder Xu and Senior Sister Chen this information. Even if he did, he would not be able to explain it.

"Could it be that the magnificent and vast holy temple is called the Heavenly Eye Temple?"

There was no way to know.

They were only four arrows away from the Song family's camp.

Suddenly, the tent on the right opened, and a purple-robed man walked out of the tent. He was tall and had a curly beard, like a lion. At this moment, he seemed to be furious, and his entire body emitted a terrifying aura.

Behind him were two noble young masters in luxurious clothes. They were submissive, as if they were being taught a lesson by the purple-robed man.

Lin Yan stopped in his tracks. He sensed an unusual dangerous aura from the purple-robed man.

His expression did not change as he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

The purple-robed man glanced at him and did not pay much attention to him. He continued to turn his head and scold the two young masters sternly.

Lin Yan brushed past him, but the purple-robed man still ignored him. Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief and continued forward.

After the two of them crossed a distance, suddenly, the purple-robed man seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Stop!"

Lin Yan paused for a moment, glanced at the layout in front of him, and turned around.

Xie Lingyan had told him that when facing a Noble Realm expert, the most taboo thing was to face them with your back. The power of a Noble Realm expert came out silently. If his back was facing them, he would not be able to resist at all.

The purple-robed man stared at Lin Yan from head to toe. "You're a disciple of the Void Fist Sect? Why didn't you bow when you saw me?"

Lin Yan cupped his hands. "Greetings, Lord."

"Lord?" The purple-robed man narrowed his eyes. "Who are you? I've never seen you in the Void Fist Sect!"

"I'm a newly promoted personal disciple." Lin Yan tightened his feet and secretly circulated his strength.

The purple-robed man revealed a trace of mockery. "Do you think I'm a fool that's so gullible? You want to run?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yan suddenly exerted strength under his feet, causing the ground to crack. His body flew back like lightning.

However, the purple-robed man's reaction was extremely fast. His body leaned forward and he actually bounced out at an even faster speed. He slapped out from afar.

The air immediately exploded.

Lin Yan's pupils constricted. An invisible force seemed to strain the entire air into a spring. Then, as if it was floating, it tore through the air and approached him in the blink of an eye!

Fortunately, he was prepared. He couldn't see it with the naked eye, but he could sense the flow of air.

As he raised his fist, Thousand Pound Break was already prepared. The level of injuring both the enemy and himself directly erupted, and the air exploded again, directly colliding with the invisible force that attacked!

Bang!

There was a huge explosion, and the air exploded out of thin air. The force penetrated the ground, and a crack immediately appeared on the ground. The airflow surged out.

Lin Yan had no intention of competing with this force. His feet soared into the air and he flew back more than a hundred feet with the force. Then, he turned in midair.

At an extremely fast speed, he bypassed two Song family members who wanted to stop him.

Then, he broke through the fence of the camp and disappeared into the dense forest.

The purple-robed man originally wanted to chase after him, but Lin Yan flew out with the force. After turning around, his speed increased. It was obvious that the purple-robed man wouldn't be able to catch up.

This confrontation was extremely fast, causing the two young masters behind him to turn pale, especially when the airflow blew over. The two of them subconsciously shrunk their necks and hid behind the purple-robed man, trembling.

The purple-robed man turned around and scolded, "Trash! Why did 1 give birth to you two trash!

"Let's not talk about how ridiculous it is to be jealous. You don't even have this bit of basic courage? Your father is in the Noble Realm. How can 1 let him hurt you?!"

The two young masters were trembling like quails. They lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The purple-robed man was even more furious, especially when he recalled Lin Yan's young appearance just now. He cursed, "That person just now was even younger than you! But what strength does he have? He can withstand a casual strike from me! He's so fast that 1 can't catch up! What strength is that? Look at you guys. Ah, if you were half, no, ten percent as promising as him, I would be satisfied!"

The purple-robed man subconsciously reprimanded his two good-for-nothing sons in his usual tone.

However, as he spoke, the anger in his eyes slowly dissipated, followed by a strong sense of shock.

That person just now took his attack head-on?

Chapter 110: Untitled (2)

That person just now was younger than his two useless sons?

His pupils gradually dilated, and shock spread uncontrollably to his entire face. His usual dignified expression was replaced by dense shock.

Someone who might not even reach 20 years old was at least at the Tough Realm or even suspected to be at the Noble Realm?!

Was there such a monster in this world?

On the other hand, the two young masters lowered their heads and waited for a long time. They looked up in shock and glanced at each other.

Their father had always been scolding them non-stop. Why was he suddenly stunned halfway today?

They weren't used to it.

…..

The purple-robed man reacted and his entire body trembled. His expression was extremely serious as he waved his hand. In the distance, the two guards who had blocked in front of Lin Yan immediately ran over.

The two of them were still in shock, as if they had survived a calamity.

The purple-robed man said solemnly, "Investigate immediately! That person must have a purpose for pretending to enter our tent. I want to know where he went within an hour!"

"Yes!"

The two of them turned around and were about to leave.

"Wait!"

The purple-robed man suddenly stopped them. "Turn around!"

The two of them did not understand. They turned around and turned their backs to the purple-robed man.

The purple-robed man reached out and touched the leather armor on their backs. There was actually a piece missing. Its shape was like a thumbprint.

It was obvious that the young expert had pressed it on their backs when he retreated.

"Is this considered mercy or a warning…"

Half an hour later, the two of them returned. After listening to the report, the purple-robed man's expression was very interesting and filled with disbelief.

Then, he turned around and looked at his two quail-like sons who were shrinking their necks. He was even angrier and slapped each of them. "You two trash, I was almost harmed by you!"

In Chen Yuan's tent.

Elder Xu leaned on his walking stick and slowly tapped his fingers on the edge of the ebony dragon head.

"Little Yuan'er, this Little Lin is not bad. Not bad at all."

Chen Yuan's beautiful face revealed a natural smile. "Junior Brother Lin, of course he's a good person."

Elder Xu shook his head and laughed. "Sometimes, you're very smart. Sometimes, you're very silly. Sometimes, you're unbelievably mature. Sometimes, you're like a child."

She sighed slightly. "Sigh, Xiao Lin, you're just a little young. If you were older and stronger…"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent. "Old Madam Xu, it's Song Yuansi. Are you there? I'm here to see you."

Song Yuansi?!

Elder Xu was stunned and hurriedly brought Chen Yuan out.

In the courtyard in front of the tent, a purple-robed man with a dignified aura stood there with two young masters with swollen faces.

A trace of prudence flashed across Elder Xu's face. She said with Chen Yuan, "Greetings, Master Song."

"Mrs. Xu, are you used to being here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master Song. Everything is fine."

Her gaze swept across the two young men behind Song Yuansi, and her expression changed slightly.

He had heard that the two young masters from the Song family were interested in Little Yuan'er. However, Song Yuansi respected the rules, so they did not dare to disturb her often.

But what did Song Yuansi mean by bringing these two people to his door today?

Song Yuansi could tell the change in her expression at a glance and immediately said, "One doesn't visit without a reason. Mrs. Xu, I came here today for two things."

"This first thing." He reached out and picked up his two sons like he was picking up chicks. "Kneel!"

The two young masters knelt on the ground with a wronged expression.

"The first thing I want to do is to apologize to you. It's also a family scandal. The two good-for-nothing brats in my family were fighting for a girl this morning and quarreled with each other. I taught them a lesson. Now, I specially asked them to come and kowtow to you to apologize."

"Fighting for a girl? For whom?" Elder Xu looked at Chen Yuan. The two of them didn't come to the tent?

Song Yuansi's face turned red under his curly beard. "They're fighting over who will marry your granddaughter in the future. They're actually fighting over it. Sigh, it's really ridiculous. I've made a fool of myself."

Elder Xu and Chen Yuan looked at each other. How could they fight?

Chen Yuan did not even know that the two of them were fighting for her.

However, on second thought, their expressions became even uglier.

These two people looked ridiculous, but in fact, they treated Chen Yuan as theirs!

The Chen family was attached to the Song family. If Song Yuansi really spoke, would the Chen family be able to resist?

Song Yuansi shouted coldly, "Kowtow and admit your mistake!"

The two young masters did not dare to be negligent and kowtowed one by one.

Elderly Lady Xu's face darkened as her fingers gripped her walking stick tightly.

"Elder Xu, don't worry. I've completely cut off the thoughts of these two good-for-nothings today. From now on, they won't dare to harass you again."

Wasn't he here to press them?

Elder Xu and Chen Yuan widened their eyes, unable to understand.

As a Noble Realm cultivator, Song Yuansi was almost a man of his word in the entire Song family. Was there a need to personally take his two sons and kowtow to an old woman like her to apologize?

"Scram back after you're done kowtowing. I'll deal with you when 1 get back!"

The two young masters fled in fear, leaving only Song Yuansi and the other two in the courtyard.

Elder Xu perked up and asked cautiously, "Master Song, you mentioned two things just now. Apart from this, what's the other thing?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Song Yuansi stroked his curly beard and asked suddenly, "Elder Xu met a guest today, right?"

Elder Xu and Chen Yuan's breathing turned cold.. Oh no, Lin Yan had been discovered!
