C731 (1/2)
Seeing the rooftop suddenly turn into a surface of water, and all the planes began to ripple, Lin Zichen seemed to realize something.
However, he couldn't care so much anymore. He had to see if Huo Qing was still there. If there was, then he would fight with all his might to kill any opponent. If there wasn't, then he wouldn't have to waste his time here.
”Master, what's going on?”
”I don't know. It must be the hidden power of this shrine. The gods and ghosts in this picture seem to be rushing out. I must find Huo Qing before this happens!”
Just as Lin Zichen's voice faded, a ghostly portrait of a blue-skinned man with three tufts of hair stuck out from the top of his head. Its thick arms were raised, and were as thick as a tree.
”Mister Lin, be careful!” When Black Feather saw this scene, he immediately shouted loudly and rushed to the roof to help Lin Zichen.
But it was already too late. The arm's power and speed greatly surpassed their expectations. In an instant, it had already neared Lin Zichen. It opened its huge hand and grabbed onto Lin Zichen.
As he said that, Lin Zicheng released all the power he could muster from his body. A powerful protective aura exploded from his body as he used a powerful force to push the giant hand apart. At the last moment, he unleashed a huge force that blew away the giant hand and sent two of his fingers flying.
Flesh and blood scattered through the air, filling the entire roof with the smell of blood. At this moment, Black Feather had also arrived nearby.
Immediately after, the black feather let out a loud screech as the huge beak pierced towards the blue arm. The sharp beak was instantly pierced like a blade. A muffled cry of pain could be heard, as if it came from the picture on the roof.
Lin Zichen took the opportunity to rush towards the space around the rooftop. He stood on the ground for a moment before saying, ”Black Feather, hold him!”
”Don't worry, sir, leave it to me!”
Lin Zi Chen stepped into the space, looking left and right, it was completely dark. Because it was on both sides of the roof, the light from above could barely reach in, plus it was already night outside, and there was no light at all, making the space here completely dark.
Lin Zi Chen waved his hand, and a ball of fire immediately ignited. However, even by borrowing the light from the fire, he could only see the surrounding space. If he went any further, he wouldn't be able to see it.
”This place is indeed strange. This ball of flame can only illuminate this close. It seems like this really is the land of the ghosts and gods!”
The so-called land of ghosts and gods actually originated from China. Ghosts were afraid of the light, so they often traveled in the dark. That was why the people who built this rooftop must have noticed this and tried to keep it dark.
At the same time, it was also infused with a certain type of light. Even if one were to light a lamp or light a flame, it would be difficult to illuminate a very far area.
Lin Zi Chen held onto the flame as he walked forward. Sure enough, he saw quite a few things that could be used for cultivation, such as the long table in the room just now and the carpet.
”Looks like this place is a place specially used by Yin Yang Masters to cultivate. Besides satisfying their cultivation level, one can also use it to raise the ghosts and deities within this shrine.”
But thinking about this, Lin Zichen also became more relaxed. If he couldn't find Huo Qing today, then there was no need to be afraid, at least he would know about the Heng Wu Goddess Union. This is the Chuan Shi branch, at worst, he could just go to the main club.
Lin Zi Chen continued walking forward, apart from the occasional long table and carpet on the floor, there was nothing unusual about it. But just when he was dejectedly thinking he would not find anything, he suddenly noticed a clear crack not far away on the wall.
Furthermore, the crack was very straight, and it was obviously not natural. It was like a crack in the door, could there be a hidden door there?
He quickly walked in and discovered that there was indeed a door. However, because he could not find the light earlier, he could only see the crack of a door on the outermost door. Now, he could see the outline of a door.
He stepped forward and gave the door a push. The door was made of stone, and not only was it locked, but the weight of the door itself was very heavy.
However, this bit of obstruction did not make Lin Zichen frown. He placed his hand on the door, and with just a slight movement, a powerful force directly pushed the stone door open. At the same time, several cracks appeared on the door.
Soon enough, the stone door opened up to reveal a space big enough for a person to walk through. Lin Zi Chen didn't push open the door and walked in sideways.
Borrowing the light from the fire, Lin Zi Chen saw the figure leaning against the wall.
This figure was quite familiar to Lin Zichen, he would probably be able to recognize him without even looking at his face.
Huo Qing!
The current Huo Qing had his head lowered as if he was in a coma. However, Lin Zi Chen could still easily feel his breath. This was the best result he could do now. At least Huo Qing was still alive.
In fact, Lin Zichen had been mentally prepared for the worst case scenario. If Huo Qing had already been killed by the Ninja Team, then he would definitely let all of them die!
However, after seeing that Huo Qing was still alive, his heart was finally at ease.
”Master, it's Huo Qing!” Xiao Feng immediately recognized Huo Qing and shouted excitedly.
Lin Zi Chen nodded and carried Huo Qing, saying, ”Huo Qing's aura is very weak. No matter what, we have to leave immediately!”
”Black Feather is protecting us from the outside, we should be able to retreat safely. At that time, Black Feather will just have to escape again. Master, let's go quickly!”
Lin Zi Chen carried Huo Qing and walked out of the stone door. However, when he noticed the black feather, he was stunned.
