36: Chapter 36 Heading to the Nine Nether Forbidden Zone

"Strength above a Martial Saint?"

Frowning, Lin Changqing could hardly hold back a curse in his mind.

Wasn't this just a scam?

He only wanted to make a Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm!

Suddenly, he felt that the Awakening of the Forbidden Dao Meridian wasn't targeted only when one's strength reached the level of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.

Rather...

Starting from the Martial King Realm, the Forbidden Dao Meridian was already being targeted by the Heavenly Dao in disguise.

At this thought, Lin Changqing was completely speechless.

Collecting the mad blood pill to resolve the backlash of breaking through to the Martial King Realm was already this difficult!

Then wouldn't the subsequent Realms be even more absurd?

This thought only hardened Lin Changqing's resolve to practice Alchemy.

He felt that perhaps he needed to change his way of thinking.

After this Breakthrough, he would have to refine more Medicinal Pills to sell.

Then, he could exchange them for Spirit Stones or other cultivation resources to gather what he needed.

Or, should he just recruit a large number of followers to work for him?

Otherwise...

How could he even play the game if things continued like this?

Collecting the dragon blood flower and flood dragon blood was getting more difficult by the step.

Heaven knew what kind of difficulty finding the nether grass would be next?

No, that's not right!

Actually, the difficulty of finding the nether grass was already extremely high.

Until now, hadn't he failed to find even a single clue?

He didn't even have a starting point to begin his search.

This was truly too frustrating!

"Indeed!"

"How about I have my subordinates help gather them?"

Turning her head to look at Lin Changqing, Chu Ruoqing suggested.

"That's actually a good suggestion!"

"It's just..."

"What about the nether grass?"

"What do we do about that?"

Lin Changqing first nodded, then shook his head.

"This..."

Instantly, Chu Ruoqing fell silent.

Because this really was a problem.

Those with clues were fine, as there was at least a direction.

But what about the one with no clues?

That would be rather troublesome.

Especially since the Jubao Pavilion had been searching for clues about the nether grass all these days.

Yet, hadn't they still come up empty-handed?

Ultimately, the two decided to head over first and see what the situation was.

If they could obtain the flood dragon blood on their own, that would be for the best.

This time, the place they were heading to was thousands of miles away from the Beast God Cave.

Its name was the Jiuyou Forbidden Zone.

The Jiuyou Forbidden Zone was one of the most famous top-tier forbidden zones on the Life Continent.

In Chu Ruoqing's words...

Even if top-tier experts entered the depths of this forbidden zone, there was a risk of death.

While Lin Changqing and Chu Ruoqing continued their journey, the people of the Sword Alliance were still searching everywhere for Lin Changqing's whereabouts.

Aside from them, there were also some people near the Abyss of Slaughter.

At the same time, many other forces were also looking for the two of them.

It was very simple!

Because when Chu Ruoqing went on a killing spree at the Buried God Lake, many Cultivators had used secret techniques to transmit images of the two back to their forces.

Naturally, many forces wanted to seek revenge on them.

In the Samsara Academy, on Huo Wuji's mountain peak.

Seeing the latest intelligence regarding Lin Changqing, the expressions on Huo Wuji's and Chen Fan's faces were extremely colorful.

Their precious disciple had actually run off to the Beast God Cave?

And went to the Buried God Lake?

And that little girl from the Chu family of the Jubao Pavilion even went on a killing spree?

Now, numerous forces were searching everywhere for the two of them?

Moreover!

A Blood Phantom Scorpion there had suddenly gone berserk and killed a large number of people from various major forces?

After reading this, the two unconsciously glanced at each other, both seeing the strange look in each other's eyes.

"Old Ghost Huo, what do you think?"

Breaking the silence, Chen Fan asked.

"Our disciple really never rests, does he!"

Sighing, Huo Wuji smiled bitterly.

"However, we actually don't have to worry about anything."

"With him being together with that little girl, there definitely won't be any danger."

"That old fellow of the Chu family dotes on his granddaughter like crazy!"

"Her Dao Protector seems to be a Martial God, right?"

Changing the subject, Huo Wuji continued.

"That's true."

Startled for a moment, Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

As they chatted, they unconsciously brought up a question.

What exactly was their disciple trying to do by running off to the Abyss of Slaughter, the Beast God Cave, and the Buried God Lake one after another?

Furthermore.

Why did he end up together with that little girl from the Chu family of the Jubao Pavilion?

Thinking about it briefly, both of them were completely baffled.

One had to know that the little girl of the Chu family was usually cold and indifferent to the opposite sex.

How many top-tier Prodigies in the Samsara Academy wanted to pursue her?

Yet, hadn't she always ignored everyone?

But now, she was actually going through life-and-death situations with their disciple?

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

"Perhaps our disciple is just extremely charming?"

Grinning, Huo Wuji said out of the blue.

"Makes sense!"

Dazed for a moment, Chen Fan unconsciously nodded in agreement.

"If these two youngsters can get together, it wouldn't be bad either."

"Both of them are peerless Prodigies who practice Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts..."

"..."

...

Inside the discussion hall of the Sword Alliance's palace.

At this moment, Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan was truly a bit dazed.

He even found it hard to believe his own eyes.

Someone had actually seen Lin Changqing in the Abyss of Slaughter?

Someone saw him walk out of that terrifying place alive?

Now, he was starting to doubt the authenticity of the intelligence in his hands.

"Are you sure there's no issue with this intelligence?"

Glancing at his subordinates before him, Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan asked in disbelief.

"Vice Alliance Master, we have verified this intelligence many times; there is absolutely no issue with it..."

Looking at Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan, a young man said timidly.

The others chimed in one after another.

Hearing his subordinates' words, Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan became increasingly bewildered.

How on earth did that bastard Lin Changqing do it?

Furthermore, if this continued, how was the Sword Alliance supposed to get its revenge?

By now, the Sword Alliance had already become the laughingstock of the Inner Court.

A newcomer had killed dozens of people from the Sword Alliance and even wiped out an entire branch.

Yet, he was still out there living footloose and fancy-free.

How others would view the Sword Alliance was naturally self-evident.

Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan wished he could tear Lin Changqing into ten thousand pieces.

It was worth mentioning that, not long ago, refusing to give up, he had made another trip to the Jubao Pavilion.

Attempting to purchase intelligence on Lin Changqing.

In the end, he received the same answer as before.

It was the same when his subordinates went to purchase Lin Changqing's intelligence.

Because of this, Vice Alliance Master Jian Bufan couldn't help but suspect.

Had that bastard Lin Changqing gotten involved with some old monster from the Jubao Pavilion in Reincarnation City?

Otherwise, this was truly difficult to explain.

Aside from the Sword Alliance, the other nine major forces of the Inner Court were also searching for Lin Changqing.

The difference was that they wanted to win Lin Changqing over.

As Lin Changqing's performance became increasingly fierce, they became even more determined in their desire to recruit him.

This kid was simply the strongest fresh blood at the moment!
