I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1516 - 361: You Help Me, I’ll Help You Solve Your Problem (Part 3)

Chapter 1516: Chapter 361: You Help Me, I’ll Help You Solve Your Problem (Part 3)

Elsewhere, he could be considered a master, but there are still many masters who could take him down, so he chose to play lord here, after all, no one would senselessly come here to challenge him.

Listening to the words spoken by the ghost.

Lin Fan already understood.

Though the information was limited, at least it pointed him in a direction.

The immortals he was seeking were not here; those staying here were just a bunch of cultivators aspiring to become immortals.

"Senior, do you need a follower?"

"No need."

"Senior, can I leave then?"

"You may."

"Thank you, Senior. Thank you, Senior. This is a token of my gratitude, please accept it."

He took out a cloth bag and handed it to Lin Fan with great effort. Seeing the senior accept it, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The ghost fled in utter embarrassment, scurrying away into the darkness, disappearing faster than anyone else. With his departure, the night outside the dilapidated temple became much clearer.

Apparently, the ghost had cast some spell that made everything pitch-black outside, reaching a point where you couldn’t even see your own hand.

This must be the storage bag mentioned by the ghost. Upon opening it, there were dozens of stones, shining brightly, each only the size of a thumbnail.

These were Spirit Stones from the Cultivation World.

He knew the ghost was wicked, but he wasn’t here to save this world or become a hero; he was here to seek the truth and wanted to bring back the people from Sunshine Shelter.

As everyone gradually disappeared before him.

His heart had already grown cold.

Three hunters knelt on the ground, bowing their heads to Lin Fan, "Thank you, Immortal Master. Thank you, Immortal Master."

Lin Fan nodded; he already had some intelligence, so there was no need to stay in the dilapidated temple. He prepared to leave overnight, and the three hunters quickly followed, thinking of departing together.

If the Immortal Master left, the ghostly menace might appear again, and without the Immortal Master, there would be no one to save them.

As they reached the foot of the mountain.

The gray, hazy sky brightened.

The three hunters bid farewell to Lin Fan, carrying the Mountain Lord away happily. Once back, they would surely boast about how the three of them joined forces to take down a Mountain Lord and how they encountered ghostly threats at the dilapidated temple, only to be saved by an Immortal, ensuring their safety.

Basically, they would embellish the story as much as they could.

As he drew closer to areas inhabited by humans, the number of people passing by increased. Although Lin Fan’s attire was quite odd, the Cultivation World was known for its bizarre things, so he only drew a few glances from passersby, and none paid much attention.

After some time.

A city appeared ahead; the Cultivation World’s cities were large, and the first thing that caught the eye was the majestic, grand city walls, embedded with some enigmatic runes that shimmered with a faint glow.

He could sense the city was enveloped by some unknown force.

Though unknown energy, in Lin Fan’s eyes, it appeared fragile, and if he wished to destroy it, he could tear it apart with just a fist’s wind.

Walking through the city gate, clean pathways extended ahead, flanked by numerous shops and merchants, each exuding a unique aura from the Cultivation World, emanating from the items they sold.

Cultivators by the roadside were conversing, seemingly exchanging cultivation insights. As Lin Fan’s gaze fell upon them, they curiously sized him up, clearly his attire had caught their attention.

Walking along the main street, he paid no mind to everything around him.

He noticed that there were many so-called mortals here too, but their physical conditions were quite good, likely due to the gases permeating the air in the Cultivation World.

Even without cultivating, their bodies had been nourished, appearing robust and sturdy.

The merchants’ shouts echoed endlessly, everything seemed vibrant and thriving.

Lin Fan clenched his fists. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Why could they live such peaceful lives while the people from Sunshine Shelter had to disappear, becoming nourishment, treating his home planet as a Secret Realm?

It shouldn’t be this way.

Lin Fan’s heart was filled with unwillingness, but he gradually loosened his fists because a group of children with braids, perhaps never having seen someone dressed like him, curiously followed him, their bright eyes filled with wonder.

Lin Fan nodded towards the children, a hint of a smile on his lips, then quickened his pace, weaving through the crowd, vanishing at the far end.

The fault lay with the heavens of the Cultivation World, not with the innocent people living under this sky.

"Friend, you’ve been standing in front of my stall for a while, if you want to buy something, just say so. If not, could you please move aside and not block my business?"

A vendor eyed Lin Fan, dressed peculiarly.

Originally thinking the guy came to buy something, they pitched him some currently hot products, but who could have guessed that he remained indifferent, just standing there like a hermit.

"Could I ask you a few questions?" Lin Fan inquired.

"No time, don’t block my business, okay?" The stall owner waved repeatedly, didn’t you see I’m doing business here; where do I have time to chat with you, with this effort I could’ve sold a few things already.

Plop!

Lin Fan took out five Spirit Stones from the storage bag given by the ghost and placed them before the vendor.

"Could I ask you a few things?" Lin Fan knew how to test the waters. Spirit Stones were very important to cultivators and were considered hard currency, akin to money in his own world.

The vendor’s eyes lit up. Hastily, he stood up, eagerly pulling Lin Fan aside, discreetly pocketing the Spirit Stones. Encountering such a generous cultivator, answering questions was no problem, even calling him ’Dad’ wasn’t out of the question.
