I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 213 - 2: Three Years of Upheaval, the Righteous Alliance!
Qing State, in a certain deep mountain forest.
Lin Chen crawled out from a cave, his clothes still covered with dirt.
"Is this the Teleportation Array you talked about? There won’t be any accidents?"
After crawling out of the cave, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
Who knew that this Teleportation Array had collapsed and was buried hundreds of meters underground.
If Lin Chen didn’t possess the Earth Escape Technique, he might have been buried alive...
The Celestial Derivation Pearl sounded a bit sheepish:
"Well, after all, it’s been hundreds of years... some changes are quite normal."
Lin Chen was somewhat speechless but didn’t argue.
He had been trapped in the ruins for several years, and now he just wanted to quickly connect with the outside world.
Lin Chen greedily took a few breaths of air, then took out the Blue Jade Gourd.
The Blue Jade Gourd instantly expanded to several zhang in size, and Lin Chen stood on the gourd, flying high into the sky.
Lin Chen released his Divine Sense, extending over a thousand zhang, and first observed the surrounding terrain.
After a moment, he frowned slightly.
"Hmm? This place is really desolate... there’s not a trace of human presence, let’s first see where this is?"
Lin Chen chose a direction and rode the Purple Jade Gourd in that direction.
Through deep mountains and great rivers, it took Lin Chen nearly half a two-hour to see a village.
As soon as he entered the village, the women and children there were startled and scattered in all directions.
"Run, everyone run!"
A few old people at the entrance of the village, unable to run, just sat where they were, loudly shouting.
Almost instantly, every household closed their doors and windows tight, leaving only a few old men at the village entrance.
Seeing this, Lin Chen’s brows furrowed into a character for "chuan" (川).
He walked up to an elderly man and asked:
"Elder, I’m a Cultivator just passing by... I want to ask..."
Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, the old man turned pale with fright, panting heavily, nearly fainting.
"Run, everyone run..."
Lin Chen’s eyebrows knit even tighter.
He flicked his finger, sending a gentle breeze to the old man’s face.
Soon, his expression gradually calmed down.
This was the Minor Magic Calm Heart Spell, particularly effective on mortals, helping them regain calm.
Seeing the old man stop panting, Lin Chen patiently asked:
"Elder, what happened? Why are you all so afraid of Cultivators..."
The old man carefully examined Lin Chen, and after confirming he wouldn’t harm him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He loudly shouted again:
"Everyone come out! It’s not those Demon Path... seems to be an Immortal Master from the Righteous Alliance!"
Hearing this, cracks appeared in the doors and windows of the surrounding houses.
After cautiously observing Lin Chen for a long time, a few brave men slowly approached.
"Immortal Master, forgive us! The villagers thought you were those demons..."
The leading burly man said tremblingly, fearing to upset Lin Chen.
Lin Chen waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead, tell me, where is this place?"
"And what is this Righteous Alliance and Demon Sect you mentioned?"
The burly man swallowed and said:
"Our Big Bull Village belongs to the Purple Smoke Country... those Immortal Masters..."
The burly man spoke haltingly.
But after listening for a long time, Lin Chen roughly understood what he meant.
Lin Chen was no longer within the borders of Yanlai Country.
Instead, he was in Purple Smoke Country, thousands of miles away from the Changchun Sect.
Which was originally the territory of the Spirit Beast Sect...
But a year ago, the Spirit Beast Sect was jointly attacked by the three sects of the Demon Path...
The Sect Leader at the Golden Core Peak was killed in battle, and nearly all the thousands of disciples in the sect were wiped out.
The people of Purple Smoke Country were plunged into dire straits.
In just one year, city massacres and blood sacrifices by the Demon Path occurred multiple times.
This caused the mortals in Purple Smoke Country to be extremely frightened and terrified of Cultivators.
As for the Righteous Alliance, this mortal wasn’t sure.
He only said that several Immortal Sects formed it, intending to resist the Demon Path...
"Immortal Master..." the burly man was still somewhat fearful.
Lin Chen then handed over a few hundred taels of silver.
"Is there a mortal city near your Big Bull Village?"
The man shook his head and said:
"Originally, there was a city three hundred miles to the north, but it was slaughtered by the Demon Sect, not a single soul of the tens of thousands of mortals survived..."
"If the Immortal Master wants to find a populous place, he must go to Xinliang City, six hundred miles away. It hasn’t been breached yet..."
After gathering this information, Lin Chen turned into an Escape Light and left.
The mortals in the village were mostly uninformed, unaware of many things and just relied on hearsay.
From the reaction in Big Bull Village, it was not hard to see that in just over two years, the external situation had indeed undergone drastic changes.
"The Spirit Beast Sect fell, the Demon Path united, the Righteous Alliance..."
"Better to go to the city and ask the Cultivators..."
Lin Chen paused on a mountain, then transformed into the appearance of Xu Shi, and took out the Red Jade Gourd to continue flying southward.
Core Formation Cultivators can travel by Escape Light without relying on a Magical Artifact.
But their speed is still much slower compared to Flying with Magical Artifact.
A six hundred mile journey, Lin Chen could reach within half a two-hour by Flying with Magical Artifact.
Along the way, he passed through barren mountains and great rivers, occasionally passing through a few deserted and ruined villages.
After half a two-hour, Lin Chen stopped before a massive city.
Xinliang City, arrived.
When Lin Chen was still some distance from Xinliang City, he descended from the air and walked towards the city gate.
His Divine Sense swept over the city gate guards.
"Qi Refining Cultivators..."
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows; the guards of this mortal city were actually Cultivators.
It seemed indeed that significant events had occurred in the past two years.
As Lin Chen approached the city gate, he was stopped by a few guards.
