Chapter 603 (2/2)

That was the region shrouded in catastrophe, and from then on, it was a forbidden zone, where no cultivator was allowed to approach carelessly.

Thus, after that announcement was made, the powerhouses from the other three domains and the demonic sea within the Nanming Domain left directly.

From then on, the Nanming Domain completely declined.

And the area, making up over ninety percent of the Nanming Domain that was struck by catastrophe, was called the Barren Forbidden Zone.

It was named the Barren Forbidden Zone because within the whole zone, there were no living beings.

Only endless Yin Spirits…

And now, Lin Jing was on the outskirts of the Barren Forbidden Zone.

The outskirts of the Barren Forbidden Zone, where the Nanming Domain bordered the Barren Forbidden Zone, still some distance away from the Barren Forbidden Zone itself.

The sky here was gloomy, looking extremely oppressive.

Looking up, one’s eyes met dry trees and layers of fallen branches and leaves that had accumulated unknowingly over a long time.

Moreover, there was no sound here; the world between heaven and earth was utterly silent.

Lin Jing hovered in mid-air, with only the whistling wind carrying a smell of decay and his own faint heartbeat beside his ears.

This place had no living beings.

Not even insects or the like…

Standing here, Lin Jing’s heart inexplicably throbbed, feeling as if there was something especially dangerous existing inside the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Lin Jing looked toward the interior of the Barren Forbidden Zone, furrowing his brows in thought for a moment before continuing to fly inward.

Although the Barren Forbidden Zone was dangerous, it was not unexplored.

Long ago, when Lin Jing was browsing books at Elder Yu’s place, he had seen some descriptions of this Barren Forbidden Zone.

There were even some notes left by people who had ventured into the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Those who had explored the Barren Forbidden Zone all shared one piece of unified advice:

That was, when entering the Barren Forbidden Zone, one should not stay too long; moreover, one should not go too deep.

Also, be extremely cautious in everything.

Especially when facing Yin Spirits, it’s best to hide and not get noticed by them.

If one accidentally encounters Yin Spirits, one must flee quickly, otherwise the Yin Spirits will gather in increasing numbers, and by then, even if one wants to escape, they won’t be able to.

Furthermore, in the Barren Forbidden Zone, those Yin Spirits are protected by a mysterious force and cannot be killed.

…

Lin Jing’s appearance here was naturally to escape from the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

This was something Lin Jing had thought of beforehand.

The ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect was too difficult to deal with, and Lin Jing was simply no match for him, only able to use the special nature of the Barren Forbidden Zone to buy some time.

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, from the initial mountain range to the outskirts of the Barren Forbidden Zone, had taken half a month’s time.

Half a month ago, Lin Jing had already secretly sent out a message, instructing Li Qingqing to take the Li Family members and Ye Yun to leave the Nanming Domain and return to Li Yan Island.

And Lin Jing was leading the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect toward the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Now that half a month had passed, Lin Jing assumed they had already left, and he no longer had any concerns.

If Lin Jing could now escape from the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect, he would be free of worries…

However, the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect clung to him like a persistent plaster, never loosening his grip no matter what.

Especially…

When Lin Jing, during a crisis, produced the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

He clung tightly to Lin Jing, determined to take him down.

Lin Jing was also extremely speechless but helpless.

The situation at that time was too perilous, and Lin Jing had to take out the Great Dream Ancient Mirror and forcibly activate it, allowing him to barely escape.

Furthermore, after that incident.

Because Lin Jing had forcibly used the Great Dream Ancient Mirror, he paid a considerable price, and after escaping, he rested in the System Space for several days before he recovered his strength.

Lin Jing was also very grateful that he had previously studied the method of forcibly using the Great Dream Ancient Mirror.

Otherwise, that time would have been truly perilous for him.

…

Not long after Lin Jing departed, another figure appeared where Lin Jing had just been.

This figure was none other than the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

The ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect looked up, his brow furrowed as he gazed in the direction Lin Jing had fled, and then he snorted coldly:

“Trying to enter the Barren Forbidden Zone to escape from me?”

“Humph!”

“Delusional…”

“The treasures on you won’t escape, they are all mine…”

Saying this, the ancestor of the Nanming Immortal Sect flashed and chased into the Barren Forbidden Zone…
