Chapter 270: The Angler's Strategy, Soul Gathering Land

“Ten kilometers underground, there’s a sealed passage leading to a Golden Immortal ruin. You can go and explore it. Everything you find inside will be yours; I don’t want a single piece!”

He didn't make things up; he spoke the truth.

He wasn't interested in the items inside; he was only interested in Gu Ming’s luck value.

He didn't want to be a foil for Gu Ming, so he would find a substitute and then play the angler, reaping the benefits!

Of course, all of this depended on his assumption being correct.

“Golden Immortal ruin!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Ling’s eyes flashed with shock.

His heart was also churning with turbulent waves.

Besides the Golden Immortal ruin, what shocked him more was that these words came from Lin Yu’s mouth.

He spoke so naturally and even knew clearly that it was a Golden Immortal’s legacy.

What did this imply?

Could it be that, like the Young Master, this person was not a native of this place?

“Could it be that the news has already leaked?”

He couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Neither Lin Yu’s tone nor his expression showed any unusual emotional fluctuations, as if a Golden Immortal was as common as a cabbage.

Given this situation, he could only think of this one possibility.

“Alright, we can go, but may I know Senior’s name and where you are from?”

Elder Ling agreed directly after only a brief moment of contemplation.

However, he still tentatively asked about the other party’s origin.

He wanted to confirm whether that information had indeed been leaked or if some force had become aware of it.

Senior?

Heh heh, he really knows how to make assumptions!

Upon hearing Elder Ling’s words, Lin Yu instantly understood.

Calling him Senior clearly meant they had assumed he was a powerful elder.

Of course, it was also possible they were testing him.

But he merely sneered and did not answer.

Currently, he was merely Shadow Fiend, a core disciple of the Qingming Ghost Domain; he would not acknowledge anything else.

This guy was testing him, and his previous words were no different.

The other party clearly didn't show too much surprise at the words “Golden Immortal.”

It was clear that they had heard of Golden Immortals, and not just once; they might even have seen them.

This also made him realize that these two were not simple.

This Eternal Continent was no longer the Eternal Continent he was familiar with.

The waters here… are very deep!

“Go down. I’ll be watching you. Don’t try to pull any tricks! You know the consequences.”

Lin Yu took one last look at the two, and his figure vanished into the void.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ling sighed and, taking Mu Yang, broke through the ground and headed downwards.

He knew that the other party’s mentality far surpassed ordinary people; obtaining any information from him would be exceedingly difficult!

Mu Yang also glared resentfully at the void, then followed closely behind.

In all his life, this was the first time he had been forced to do something. He remembered this grudge and would definitely settle it in the future.

......

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of the Immortal Burial Ground finally spread to the outside world.

Super powerhouses from various forces had successively gone to the Ghost Domain to negotiate.

Among them were the Wu Wang Immortal Sect and the Thunder Domain Holy Hall, two major super forces.

A place of opportunity like the Immortal Burial Ground naturally made everyone covetous.

That was a place where Immortals had died.

If one could obtain the inheritance within, it would be an immense opportunity.

Moreover, this cake was large enough that even within the Ghost Domain, Ghost Howl alone could not devour it all.

The outcome was also evident: the negotiation result was that Ghost Howl would no longer prohibit outsiders from entering.

The only requirement was to hand over 10% of their gains to the Ghost Domain.

This demand was very reasonable; after all, this was their territory.

If they didn't comply, and the Ghost Domain made some small moves inside, they would be helpless.

With the negotiation results, the entire Ghost Domain immediately became lively.

Various Heavenly Talents from across the continent came to explore.

Even with the clear danger to life inside, it couldn't stop these people's desire to grow stronger.

......

Inside the Immortal Burial Ground.

In a Soul Gathering Land, seven or eight figures gathered together.

They stood back to back, facing a formidable enemy!

The magic treasures in their hands also emitted various colored lights.

Around them was a valley shrouded in black mist.

From time to time, figures flitted through the mist.

“Junior Brother Gu, have you thought of a way to leave this wretched place?”

Among the group, someone suddenly spoke, their voice filled with anxiety.

This Soul Gathering Land had very strong Yin energy, with remnant souls floating within.

Originally, they were all familiar with such places.

Because there were also such places in the Ghost Domain.

And these places were often accompanied by the birth of Yin Spirit Liquid.

The heavier the Yin energy, the higher the grade of the Yin Spirit Liquid, and the greater the benefits they would gain.

This was also why they came in.

But they seemed to have forgotten that this was the Immortal Burial Ground; these remnant souls were not comparable to ordinary ones.

Thus, those who entered were trapped by these remnant souls.

The person who just spoke, Junior Brother Gu, was none other than Gu Ming.

He did not enter this place for Yin Spirit Liquid.

That stuff was only useful to Ghost Cultivators and had no effect on him.

What he wanted to do was… use the Dao of Luck to refine the remnant souls here.

This way, his Dao of Luck would usher in a new breakthrough, and his cultivation would advance significantly.

However, he also overestimated his own strength and was trapped here.

But he hadn't thought of leaving.

Although the remnant souls here were strong, they hadn't reached the point where he had to fight for his life.

Besides, weren't there still seven scapegoats?

He sneered inwardly, paying no attention to the person who spoke.

He had been brought here by Blood Pupil, so he had no good feelings towards the people of the Ghost Domain.

If these people weren't helping him resist some pressure, he would have personally killed them all.

Wanting him to find a way to get them out was simply wishful thinking.

“Junior Brother Gu, your feud is with Saint Son Blood Pupil; there’s no need to be hostile towards us. Now we are all in the same boat; we should work together to find a way out!”

Seeing that Gu Ming’s expression towards them was not very friendly, another person tried to persuade him.

Gu Ming was currently the highest cultivated among them, and he was also a Heavenly Dao Inheritor; the chances of him leading them out were still very high.

Therefore, they had to show goodwill.

“That’s right, I’ve already sent the news of this place out. If Saint Son Blood Pupil also comes in, he should notice it. You can settle your scores with him then!”

Another person chimed in.

Their lives were hanging by a thread, and they didn't care if these words would offend Blood Pupil.

They just wanted to survive now.

“Don’t worry, I already have a way to deal with these remnant souls. You just need to help me guard against their attacks. These remnant souls will definitely disappear in less than half an hour!”

Lin Yu finally gave an answer this time.

However, only he knew what he was truly thinking.
