I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1536 - 365: The Old Immortal Knocked on My Door at Midnight_3

Chapter 1536: Chapter 365: The Old Immortal Knocked on My Door at Midnight_3

Lin Fan, who had left Chaozhou, crossed the boundless Tianhe and arrived in Yangzhou, a more prosperous continent than Chaozhou, where the stages of the immortal sects were higher and the number of cultivators was unimaginably large.

Walking along a forest path, he traveled step by step toward the unknown distance, abandoning the idea of going to the immortal sect to browse the scriptures. If there really were records of immortals in the scriptures, Sect Head He couldn’t possibly know nothing.

Rather than wasting time, he might as well explore this world thoroughly; ultimately, he would encounter it.

Three figures appeared, blocking his way.

"Heh, heh, this road is built by us, the Malevolent Duo. If you want to pass, obediently hand over your storage bag."

The cultivator speaking wore a gray robe, his cheeks were gaunt, and his eyes were sinister.

The Cultivation World is like this; intercepting and robbing with the intent to kill is not uncommon, always upholding the idea that plundering from others is far easier than struggling to fight on one’s own.

In Lin Fan’s view, the cultivation fluctuations emanating from them were roughly at the late stage of Qi Refinement.

"Step aside, I’m not your target," Lin Fan responded.

"Ridiculous. It seems without showing you some power, you truly don’t understand my strength," the gray-robed cultivator shouted angrily, "Attack him."

Only then did Lin Fan realize that the figure standing behind them was not a living being but a green-faced, fang-toothed creature with a face full of pits, clearly an Undead Zombie.

The gray-robed cultivator controlled a second-level Undead Zombie, directing it to pounce on Lin Fan.

The second-level Undead Zombie is impervious to swords and spears, its body extremely rigid; ordinary low-grade magic artifacts would struggle to leave a mark on its surface, and even mid-grade magic artifacts would only inflict minor damage on its flesh.

As the Undead Zombie fell in front of Lin Fan, Lin Fan raised his hand, gesturing toward the void a few times. He jumped up, and at the moment the Undead Zombie made contact with the ground, its body shattered into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground.

"Ah..."

The gray-robed cultivator widened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost, looking at Lin Fan with terror in his eyes. With a thumping sound, he dropped to his knees, swiftly taking out his own storage bag and placing it in front of him.

"Spare my life, Daoist. I’ve made a mistake."

The female cultivator beside him followed suit, placing her storage bag on the ground and kowtowing for mercy.

This is how it is in the cultivation world.

Fight if you can; kneel if you can’t.

We cultivators cultivate to become those who understand the times as the talents. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yangzhou has a traditional virtue:

Kneeling, kowtow, offering one’s belongings, leaving a margin in one’s dealings.

The Malevolent Duo’s methods naturally didn’t rely solely on a single second-level Undead Zombie, but from the way the other party could instantly kill it, it was evident they could not handle him.

Lin Fan came before them, "Do you know where there are extraordinary individuals?"

"Extraordinary...individuals?" The gray-robed cultivator paused, then hurriedly said, "Daoist, the ancestor of the Chen Family in Ling Yuan City is a Core Formation powerhouse. He has gone through Core Formation three times before achieving a Golden Core, and every time he failed at Core Formation, instead of weakening, he further advanced. I believe the Chen Family’s ancestor is truly extraordinary."

This wasn’t the extraordinary individual he was looking for.

Too many Core Formations, really too weak.

"Alas..."

With a slight sigh, he felt a bit disappointed.

And this sigh frightened the Malevolent Duo, their faces turned terribly pale.

The female cultivator said, "Senior, I know an extraordinary individual, still in Ling Yuan City, but in the temporary zone outside the city. There is a very accurate fortune teller, an old man who is merely a mortal without any mana, but he is extraordinary in predicting marriage and occasionally calculates fortune and misfortune for cultivators; it is quite effective."

"Yes, yes, this old man is incredibly accurate," the gray-robed cultivator repeatedly agreed.

Lin Fan sighed again. Seeing the senior sigh, the female cultivator despaired further, while the gray-robed cultivator wailed, "Daoist, we are merely Qi Refinement cultivators; we know little and truly don’t know of any extraordinary individuals."

In the Cultivation World, once you offend someone or get targeted, if your cultivation is inferior, the result can be worse than death.

Lin Fan ignored them and turned to leave; Ling Yuan City was not too far from here, and since he was here, he decided to go take a look.

The Malevolent Duo breathed a sigh of relief as they saw the Daoist spare them, placing their storage bags on the ground without Lin Fan even looking at them, which puzzled them.

They had cultivated until now, witnessing countless intercepts and killings in the Cultivation World. Who would leave a storage bag behind? Even if it was just a Qi Refinement cultivator’s storage bag containing neither precious cultivation techniques nor good magic artifacts, there were still spirit stones within.

"Go, quickly." The gray-robed cultivator stood up awkwardly, grabbed his storage bag, and fled.

"Wait for me."

The female cultivator chased after him; this incident left a huge shadow on their hearts, likely not easily resolved. Meanwhile, feeling helpless, they pondered why a true powerhouse now hides so discreetly, concealing their mana; it truly is terrifying.

...

"This is the Ling Yuan City they mentioned."

Lin Fan looked at the buildings ahead; this wasn’t within the city but where loose cultivators from all corners gathered here without sufficient spirit stones to settle inside the city, so they could only root in this location.

Of course, the land where the outer city loose cultivators reside is not theirs but controlled by the cultivation families of the city, who temporarily construct some simple houses to rent out to the gathering loose cultivators.

Everywhere is blood-sucking, everywhere is exploitation.

The scriptures he had read recorded that Chaozhou is a weak continent, not the only weak continent; there are many similar continents where some cultivators believe destiny favors them and leave the comfortable weak continent to venture into Yangzhou.
