Chapter 2242: Protected for a Moment, Not for a Lifetime

Underground Ghost City?

Lin Tian’s eyes widened, revealing an expression of astonishment.

At this moment.

The first thing he thought of was the Earth Cave World!

This Underground Ghost City, could it be related to the Earth Cave World!

Lin Tian’s thoughts raced secretly.

He hesitated for a moment, then coldly stared at Dong Quansheng, and said, “Do you know the Earth Cave?”

Across from him.

Surprise froze on Dong Quansheng’s face, his expression bewildered.

After a while, he quickly shook his head and said, “Senior, where is the Earth Cave?”

This old guy, it seems he doesn’t know about the Earth Cave World!

Therefore, maybe this Underground Ghost City isn’t related to the Earth Cave!

Thinking this, Lin Tian nodded and said, “Is Yin Yang City located underground in Xiangyang City?”

“Senior has guessed correctly!”

Dong Quansheng replied to Lin Tian: “That Yin Yang City is right beneath the ground of Xiangyang City! At first, I was shocked when I returned with those Ghost Cultivators, the Underground Ghost City is extremely magnificent! But later… I was fooled!”

“Fooled? Tell me what happened!”

Lin Tian glanced at the ghost corpse in the crystal coffin, vaguely guessing something, and then said.

“When I went to Yin Yang City, the higher-ups of the Ghost Cultivators there learned that we came from Nine Immortals Mountain, naturally they wanted to make a good alliance!”

Dong Quansheng sighed and replied to Lin Tian: “The force of Ghost Cultivators in Yin Yang City, very few people know about them! They rarely interact with outsiders’ cultivation! Therefore, they hoped to exchange and collaborate a lot with our Nine Immortals Mountain! And as for our Nine Immortals Mountain, we always hoped to gain more sect support and cooperation! So, as an elder of Nine Immortals Mountain, I took the initiative to agree!”

“The Yin Yang City side was also very sincere! They taught me their unique technique—the Ghost Finger Technique, and also gifted me this Yin Yang Corpse!”

“With my eye power, I naturally saw through it a bit! It’s indeed powerful! After returning, I practiced for half a month and discovered my cultivation soared, my strength greatly increased, I could also subtly control the Yin Yang Corpse in front of me, making me even stronger! But later, I quickly discovered… after practicing the Ghost Finger Technique, entering Small Success, a Ghost Seal appeared in my dantian! Similar to a seal… from then on, I was forced to obey the commands of the Ghost Cultivators in Yin Yang City! If I didn’t, my dantian could be destroyed instantly… then, what difference would there be with death?”

Speaking of this.

Dong Quansheng’s old face turned bitter and desolate.

At this point, Lin Tian thoroughly understood.

Simply put, this old man was controlled by that group of Ghost Cultivators!

The dignified elder of Nine Immortals Mountain, a Fake Core stage great cultivator, had become a puppet of others!

One can only say.

For a temporary gain, perhaps he staked his entire self or everything he owned!

“If I’m not mistaken, the spiritual medicine you’re looking for is of the yin attribute, right? Then they are more likely to appear around Xiangyang City?”

Lin Tian rubbed his chin, pondered a little, then said.

“Senior is correct! Although Xiangyang City is in a sunny location, due to some peculiarities underground, combined with the Ghost Cultivator’s land, many spiritual medicines growing there are actually of the yin attribute!”

Dong Quansheng chuckled bitterly and said, “I’ve already laid everything out before Senior! Now I’m actually just a puppet! I hope Senior spares my life! As for Hong Shenhao, feel free to take him, take it as my apology!”

Currently.

Dong Quansheng is struggling to protect himself.

Offending a Golden Core Great Cultivator from Nine Immortals Mountain because of him would be extremely unwise!

If sacrificing Hong Shenhao can exchange for his life or calm Lin Tian’s anger, it couldn’t be better!

“Understood!”

Lin Tian thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’m suddenly interested in that Yin Yang City! Besides, I can remove the seal you’re under!”

What!

Dong Quansheng trembled all over, looked up in shock, and stared at Lin Tian.

For quite a while.

He took a deep breath and said, “Senior… you can remove the Ghost Seal on me? You’re willing to help?”

Dong Quansheng was very excited.

He had thought about returning to Nine Immortals Mountain and asking the sect’s Golden Core Cultivators whether it could be removed.

But in doing so, the fact that he’d become a puppet would be exposed!

And if the Ghost Seal couldn’t be removed, would the sect still keep him?

This was an uncertain matter!

He really didn’t want to lose his life!

Therefore, the matter had been postponed, intending to find other ways to remove the Ghost Seal, to break free from the control of Yin Yang City’s Ghost Cultivators!

Now.

Lin Tian could remove the Ghost Seal, how could he not be excited!

“I can help! But I have one condition!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly, replying.

“Senior, as long as it’s not about controlling me or something similar, any condition I can accept!”

Dong Quansheng’s face was full of joy, anxiously saying, “Senior, go ahead…”

“It’s quite simple! In a few days, take me to explore Yin Yang City where the Ghost Cultivators are settled!”

Lin Tian looked at Dong Quansheng and coldly said, “If you lead the way, I can consider removing the Ghost Seal on you! Of course… if you don’t agree, you don’t really have many choices!”

Agree!

How could I not agree!

Only an idiot wouldn’t agree!

Dong Quansheng understood clearly that this was an opportunity!

If he didn’t agree, Lin Tian could capture him, in the end, he wouldn’t go but he would have to go!

If leading the way could exchange for the removal of the Ghost Seal, then it’s highly sought after!

Dong Quansheng’s face showed waves of ecstasy, he knelt down before Lin Tian: “Senior, I will be here to welcome your arrival!”

Lin Tian nodded, then stepped away, leaving this place with Hong Shenhao, and slipped out of Nine Immortals Valley.

Soon.

He brought Hong Shenhao back to the riverbank at Luli Mountain Ridge.

Lee Suxi and Yu Xiaomeng were still waiting there.

Seeing Lin Tian walking in the air with the dying Hong Shenhao returning, their faces looked dazed, expressions extremely complex.

“Greetings, Senior!”

When Lin Tian landed, Lee Suxi hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Yu Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then also saluted.

“Uh… well, Master Lee, Senior Sister Yu, you can just call me Lin Tian! If you’re really uncomfortable, you can call me Mr. Lin! Calling me Senior… I’m not really that old!”

Lin Tian smiled bitterly, touched his nose, helplessly shook his head, and tossed Hong Shenhao over, saying: “Take him back and let Wang Yiyi handle it! As for my matters… you can pretend you didn’t see!”

Having said that.

He quickly stepped away.

Now he was going to rush to the Reserve Team at Demon Cloud Ridge to check the situation, the disappearance of Yan Cheng and others should not be a simple missing incident!

He didn’t immediately go to Yin Yang City with Dong Quansheng just now, because of this.

“Master…”

After Lin Tian left, Yu Xiaomeng regained consciousness and looked at Lee Suxi.

“Let’s go back… back to Martial Soul Garden, whether it’s Wang Yiyi or Xiao Yi… we cannot say a word!”

Lee Suxi thought for a moment, then finally said to Yu Xiaomeng: “Perhaps… Mr. Lin doesn’t want too much interaction with Wang Yiyi! As for Xiao Yi, knowing about this matter might not necessarily be good!”

Hearing this, Yu Xiaomeng nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, they took Hong Shenhao back to Martial Soul Garden.

On the second floor.

Room No. 8.

Wang Yiyi, Su Yuan, Zhuge Miao Yi, Yao Bingyuan, and others were still there, Zhuang Youxian and others kneeling on the ground with pallid faces, full of fear.

When they saw Hong Shenhao captured back, they looked even more forlorn.

“Master, where is my cousin-in-law?”

Zhuge Miao Yi was very concerned about Lin Tian’s safety, asking anxiously.

Su Yuan promptly said, “Where is he?”

“Um…”

Putting down Hong Shenhao, Lee Suxi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wang Yiyi, then said: “He’s fine, he said he had to leave first for something!”

Hearing this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yiyi’s tightly knitted brow relaxed a bit imperceptibly, then she looked at Zhuge Miao Yi and said: “Next time you see your cousin-in-law, remind him—I can protect him for a moment, but not for a lifetime! Being overly arrogant, when encountering unreasonable people, it’s him who will suffer! Even his life could be at stake!”
