Chapter 87: Resentment for Three Thousand Miles!
Deep in the night.
On the earth covered by the night curtain, only the sparse lights could be vaguely seen in the distance.
In a wheat field, a flying broken ship was traveling two meters above the ground. The yellow lamp on the bow of the ship was quite piercing under the pitch-black night curtain.
"Disciples of major families, I guess!"
Lin Xuan had just sat down when he heard Old Xuangui say this. The Nine Heavens Sacred Ground was a dominant force ruling this heaven and earth.
In nature, it was about the same as some families.
"Sigh, it is better outside the territory governed by Zhenyao City. Now the demon race in Canglan Mountain is becoming more and more active, doing much evil. It makes the whole area within Zhenyao City's sphere of influence filled with soaring resentment. This resentment has actually condensed for three thousand miles!"
Old Xuangui sighed.
Listening to Old Xuangui's words, Lin Xuan extended his divine sense and also sensed the condensation of resentment filling the sky.
It shrouded within the dark clouds.
"There is turmoil everywhere. We little demons living at the bottom originally lived a poor but carefree life. But now we have to be busy selling some items to exchange for Spirit Stones!"
Old Xuangui said.
"Why must one exchange for Spirit Stones?" Lin Xuan was somewhat puzzled.
"Sigh, these three thousand miles outside White Python Mansion have all been divided into his territory. Every demon in the territory must hand over five Low-Grade Spirit Stones per head every month. Otherwise, they will be taken to White Python Mansion to do hard labor!"
Old Xuangui said with a look of helplessness on his face.
"I think, Guest, you saw through my identity at the first glance. You did not drive me out of Zhenyao City and even specially took care of my business. You are a good person!"
"Here, I want to ask Guest for a favor. I know it is very abrupt, but I have no other way!"
As he spoke, Old Xuangui, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up and turned around, kneeling towards Lin Xuan.
Old Xuangui knew this was an opportunity for his grandson to escape the sea of suffering, and he did not want to lose it.
"Elder, there is no need for this. Tell me what it is first. If it is within my power, I can certainly help!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand casually, a stream of spiritual energy flew out to hold Old Xuangui's body up, and said to him.
"Guest, I want you to take my grandson out of the place ruled by Zhenyao City, far away from the Canglan Demon Race!" Old Xuangui said.
"Now the Canglan Demon Race is becoming more and more arrogant, and their actions are even more unscrupulous. Many demons living in this area have been forced away. But now my lifespan is reaching its limit, yet I still have a grandson I cannot bear to part with. Now that I have met Guest twice by chance, I feel this is an opportunity given by heaven!"
Old Xuangui said with a sincere tone.
"I hope Guest can fulfill the request of a dying person like me!"
Old Xuangui knew he was too impulsive. This was also a gamble. He also knew it was likely to be rejected, but for this slim chance of survival, why not try once!
"I agree!"
"I will take your grandson in as a Dao Child. Although he will have to do some odd jobs, I can guarantee his safety. On the path of cultivation, I can also help him!"
Lin Xuan looked at Old Xuangui, who was draped in a straw raincoat, and said.
"Thank you, Guest, thank you, Guest!"
Old Xuangui said respectfully to Lin Xuan.
"However, before that, I need to go solve a formidable evil demon. After I resolve the other party, I will come back to take your grandson away!" Lin Xuan said.
Just as the two were talking.
Suddenly.
The wild ghost originally supporting the broken ship's travel slowed down and stopped the broken ship in place with some trembling.
"Yo, isn't this Old Turtle? It's really a coincidence. To meet in this desolate mountain and wild ridge. I am a bit short on Spirit Stones recently. Can you lend me two pieces?"
The next moment, in front of the broken ship, a half-humanoid wolf head stepped on a ball of demon fog, blocking Old Xuangui's path, and said arrogantly with a full face.
On the ship.
Lin Xuan opened the system's detection function and scanned the wolf blocking the way.
Nickname: Ghost Wolf
Race: Ghost
Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven
"Two Spirit Stones!" Hearing this Ghost Wolf open his mouth so widely like a lion, Old Xuangui's heart suddenly trembled.
Usually for blocking the way, this Ghost Wolf would only ask for half a Spirit Stone, but now he wanted four times that amount.
"What, you don't want to lend it?"
Seeing Old Xuangui on the deck hesitate, the wolf's face turned fierce. This Ghost Wolf suddenly raised his right hand.
Bang!
The next moment, a ball of gloomy blue flame appeared on his right hand, and a chilling meaning permeated the surroundings.
Just at this moment.
A sudden change occurred.
From behind this broken ship that had been patched many times, Lin Xuan raised his hand, and a half-meter-long wind blade suddenly flew out, instantly cutting off this Ghost Wolf's right arm.
His own body was also affected by the Great Wind Blade Technique, and the soul power of half his body began to become chaotic, suffering a not-light injury.
"Expert!"
The Ghost Wolf's eyes shrank. Being able to easily cut off the body he had refined so easily, the other party was absolutely an expert above the False Core Realm.
When Lin Xuan walked out from a slightly dark place on one side of the broken ship, it made the Ghost Wolf's eyes widen in surprise.
"Human cultivator, you old ghost dare to mix with a human cultivator. Aren't you afraid the White Python Mansion Lord will tear you into eight pieces?"
Upon seeing Lin Xuan, the Ghost Wolf recalled the scene where his right arm was cut off just now, causing him to subconsciously take a step back.
Just when the Ghost Wolf wanted to slip away.
Lin Xuan waved his hand casually. From the thousands of python dragon cell particles in his body, a burst of demonic energy suddenly erupted. A demonic energy afterimage shot out from his fingertips, instantly piercing through the Ghost Wolf's chest.
"This power..."
The Ghost Wolf, who originally wanted to sneak away, felt that power madly destroying his body and shouted in his heart. Then his consciousness sank into silence.
Afterward, the Ghost Wolf's remaining flesh body, unable to support itself due to the annihilation of its soul, fell downwards.
"Thank you, Guest, for helping!" Old Xuangui sighed and thanked him again.
It was hard to imagine that if Lin Xuan had not boarded his broken ship and met this lone wolf, he would inevitably lose a large amount of Spirit Stones. Furthermore, he and his grandson would not be able to pay enough Spirit Stones and would be conscripted into White Python Mansion to do lowly hard labor!
"No harm, it was just a lifting of a hand!"
Lin Xuan said.
A moment later.
The savage ghost supporting the broken ship began to continue sailing again.
Next, it was smooth sailing. They sailed for a hundred li. On the way, Lin Xuan asked about some things regarding the White Python Mansion Lord.
Outside a mountain forest that stretched for more than ten li.
This broken ship, supported by the savage ghost all the way, stopped. After the two got off the ship, Old Xuangui took out a few Yin Insect Grasses from a sack at his waist and fed them to the savage ghost who had been supporting the journey.
Subsequently, after that savage ghost swallowed the Yin Insect Grasses, it returned to Old Xuangui's spirit bottle with satisfaction.
Next.
Lin Xuan left one of his own Transmission Talismans and an ordinary Grade-3 Protection Talisman for Old Xuangui, then parted ways with him. The wind generated from thin air under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast moonlight.
"I hope everything goes well for Guest and that he returns safely!"
Old Xuangui, who was in the original place, looked at the remnant shadow of Lin Xuan disappearing into the night and prayed in his heart.
