High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 322 This wave directly turned the tables.

"Since Duanmu Hong has summoned all the cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm here, there is absolutely no way he would let them scatter like savages on the wasteland."

"There will definitely be well-established large cities or defensive barriers for cultivators to rest and replenish their supplies."

"Otherwise, let alone killing demons, this environment alone could wear down any cultivator below the seventh rank."

"It's difficult to search when more than a hundred of us are gathered together. It would be better to split up and search outwards in a fan shape."

"Whoever finds the human stronghold first, immediately send a message to the others."

The proposal was quickly approved by everyone.

After all, although they have formed a temporary alliance, deep down they are still unwilling to submit to each other.

It's much more comfortable to split up than to have over a hundred people crammed together and suspicious of each other.

"Okay! It's settled then!"

"Take care, everyone!"

Contact us immediately if you have any news!

There was no unnecessary delay.

These more than one hundred ancestors who had just fought side by side instantly transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the dark void in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling battlefield returned to deathly silence.

Only two people remained, still standing in the same spot.

It was Lin Hanzhou and Ye Ying.

……

The cold wind howled, whipping up the sand and gravel on the ground, which stung my face.

Watching the departing lights disappear into the distance, Ye Ying glanced at Lin Hanzhou beside her, who looked calm and composed, as if admiring the scenery, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, aren't we going?"

"Where to?" Lin Hanzhou asked in return.

"Looking for a city, of course," Nightshade said matter-of-factly.

"This place is too eerie; my spiritual power is draining away every moment."

"Even with the constant replenishment from our inner world, we still need a place to stay. We, as dignified eighth-tier powerhouses, can't just wander the wasteland, can we?"

At this point, Nightshade paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know when it started, but this lone wolf had somehow gotten used to treating the man in front of him, who seemed to be only at the second level of the eighth rank, as his backbone.

The methods the other party had displayed during this period were truly astonishing to him.

Nightshade had a strong intuition that by following the other person, he could not only survive, but also perhaps see some scenery that ordinary people could not imagine.

His original plan was very simple.

As a veteran reincarnator of the Samsara Palace, his mission is to enter this instance and obtain the "Enlightenment of the Great Dao".

Even if you are controlled, it doesn't matter. As long as you kill enough in the Void Battlefield, your score will definitely be high when you return to the final settlement.

After all, for those who reincarnate, as long as they don't die, all their experiences are resources.

But he never expected that this "temporary ally" he had randomly chosen would turn out to be a ruthless person who was going to overturn the entire chessboard.

"Looking for a city?"

Lin Hanzhou smiled, plopped down on a relatively clean boulder, and even took out a bottle of spirit wine from his storage ring, taking a leisurely sip.

"No need to look."

"We can just sit here and wait."

"Wait?" Nightshade was taken aback. "Wait for whom? The demons?"

"No."

Lin Hanzhou shook his head and pointed to the streaks of light that had disappeared into the horizon.

"Wait for our 'spies' to report back."

"A spy?" Nightshade was even more confused.

"You mean those old guys? But if they find them, will they really notify us immediately? Those old guys are ruthless and heartless."

"They will."

Lin Hanzhou's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and a golden glint flashed deep in his eyes.

"Or rather... I'll know whether they want to or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hanzhou slowly closed his eyes.

Deep within his consciousness, a strange and magnificent scene unfolded instantly.

It was a vast star web.

One hundred and five twinkling points of light are distributed across the nodes of this net, spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed.

Each point of light represents the location of a ninth-tier powerhouse who just passed by.

Moreover, as long as Lin Hanzhou has a thought, his consciousness can instantly connect to any point of light, sharing the other party's vision, hearing, and even taking their life.

This is the true terror of the [Soul-Devouring Slave Seal].

Now, the hilt of the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the ancestors is not in Duanmu Hong's hands.

But it was in Lin Hanzhou's hands.

Clearly, he had already refined all the Soul Devouring Slave Marks on the bodies of the ninth-tier powerhouses.

As for when he refined it, it was during the time when Duanmu Hong was torturing everyone in the Soul Nourishing Hall.

At that time, everyone's spiritual defenses were at their lowest point, and their consciousness was in extreme chaos and pain.

This was also the perfect opportunity for him to invade everyone's souls.

It was at that moment that he quietly used the [Primordial Unity] technique to refine the [Soul Devouring Slave Marks] on each of them.

Moreover, after refining these marks, he unexpectedly discovered that he possessed the highest authority to control them.

Whether it's Duanmu Hong or the creator of this mark, they all need your consent if they want to operate this mark.

If he is unwilling, he can even cut off the other party's control over the mark.

This time, they completely turned the tables and took control.

Ye Ying was completely bewildered by Lin Hanzhou's words, but out of trust, he sat down next to Lin Hanzhou.

……

For a moment, in this dark, desolate, and barren land...

The two figures sat side by side, sipping their wine as if the demons that might rush out at any moment didn't exist at all.

If others were to witness this scene, they would surely find it extremely bizarre.

Time passed by, minute by minute, and about an hour had gone by.

Lin Hanzhou, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly raised an eyebrow and put down the wine pot in his hand.

"Found it."

He stood up, dusted himself off, and examined the image that had just flashed through his mind.

In that scene, a colossal city, entirely black and hundreds of feet tall, stood like a steel behemoth on this desolate continent.

On the city wall, countless intricate array runes shimmered with dazzling light, forming a huge semi-circular light screen that kept out the void turbulence and demonic energy outside.

Beneath the light screen, countless cultivators hurriedly moved along the city wall, some repairing formations, others carrying supplies, their faces filled with panic and exhaustion.

Clearly, a fierce battle had just taken place here.

Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath, feeling a chilling aura wash over him.

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hanzhou's figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light, and he sped off in one direction.

Night Shadow followed closely behind, the two figures streaking across the darkness like shooting stars, traversing this desolate continent.
